  Subject: 2007? IMPORTANT for ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS





   Ladies and Gentlemen,



   I hope you'll already know this, but if not please review. It's  our future, here now! Please pass it on. Thanks, Vr, CJ



   A MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE TO READ AND ACT ON!!!!!!!!!
 

   From A. Winfield Camille Cosby made a reference about the Voting Rights Act in her most recent open letter on racism.
 

   This is extremely important. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY  PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!!!!!!


   We are quickly approaching the 21st Century and we were wondering,  and when I say we, I mean others of us out there

   who wonder if  everyone else out there knows what the significance of the year 2007  is to Black America?  

   Did you know that our right to VOTE will expire in the year 2007?  Seriously! The Voters Rights Act signed in 1965 by

   Lyndon B. Johnson was just an ACT. 

   It was not made a law. In 1982, Ronald Reagan amended the Voters Rights Act for another 25 years. Which means that in

   the year 2007 we could lose the Right to vote! Does anyone realize that African Americans are the only group of people who

   require PERMISSION under the United States Constitution to vote!

   In the year 2007, Congress will once again convene to decide whether or not Blacks should retain the right to vote (crazy but true). In order for this to be passed, 38 states will have to approve an extension.

   This is ludicrous! Not only should the extension be approved, but also the ACT must be made a law. Our right to vote should

    no longer be up for discussion, review and/or evaluation. We must contact our

   Congresspersons, Senators, Alderpersons, etc., to put a stop to this!  As bona fide Citizens of the United States, we cannot

  "drop the ball" on  this one! We have come too far to let government make us take such a huge step backward. So please, let

   us push forward to continue to build the momentum towards gaining equality.

   Please pass this onto others, as we are sure that many more individuals are not aware of this. I urge all of you that are able, to

   contact those in  government that have your vote and make them aware of our combined  concern for this issue.  
   One voice!...... One Vote!
   You cannot complain, if you do not participate ...local, State, & national... Please pass it on.
