Certainly, the Economic Bailout of Wall Street has captured all the headlines these days. But the solutions to Main Street for most Black Americans lie in the Urban Policies and Civil Rights positions of the Obama/Biden Campaign.
THESE WORDS DO NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE MCCAIN WEBSITE.
Urban Policy
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/urbanpol... Obama and Biden will create a White House Office of Urban Policy to develop a strategy for metropolitan America and to ensure that all federal dollars targeted to urban areas are effectively spent on the highest-impact programs. The Director of Urban Policy will report directly to the president and coordinate all federal urban programs.
Plan to Strengthen Civil Rights
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/civilrig... "The teenagers and college students who left their homes to march in the streets of Birmingham and Montgomery; the mothers who walked instead of taking the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry and cleaning somebody else's kitchen - they didn't brave fire hoses and Billy clubs so that their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren would still wonder at the beginning of the 21st century whether their vote would be counted; whether their civil rights would be protected by their government; whether justice would be equal and opportunity would be theirs. . . . We have more work to do."
- Barack Obama, Speech at Howard University, September 28, 2007
When engaging in dialog about why we should vote for Barack Obama, let us not forget where the roots of our problems lie. Take a closer look and make sure that you encourage your friends, relatives, and neighbors to vote for the issues that are important to us.
Wall Street is going to take care of itself, but wh is going to take care of Main Street in our community? Only Barack Obama.
