Yesterday in the Chicago Tribune, U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL)told a joint hearing of the Chicago City Council Finance and Human Relation Committee that descendants of Africian-American slaves deserve compensation from the U.S. Government. I would like all of you, recipients of this message to go in the computer and vote. These people know that many Black homes do not have computers and are aware that we as a people don't vote, therefore they are basing Bobby Rush's agenda on weather or not we go into the computer and vote sets the tone if they will pass this reparation. I for one don't care if I get compensation for being a descendant of slaves or not, but let's think of our children and their children, children. Please pass this on and YOU go into the computer and vote. Right now, they have 22% for and 75% against. We know who that 75% is, don't we. Please vote and look at the results at www.chicagotribune.com/go/reparations <http://www.chicagotribune.com/go/reparations>> Don't forget to send this to at least 10 people. > >> > > >> > PLEASE NOTE THAT IT TAKES LESS THAN 30 SECONDS TO VOTE! >> > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
