The email reads...
It concerns me as Barb Davis White's Press Secretary and also as a General Manager for a News & Information Corporate Media Outlet that you have not scheduled, nor will confirm that any African American Congressional Candidates have been asked to speak at the RNC, according to the young lady that answers the phone at your office and you. After speaking with you (Ms. Webb), the answer that the information is "confidential"
On Friday, August 15, 2008 I was approached by a gentleman told me to "cool down", don't go after Ron Carey's office or the RNC and we will get together later and work things out after the RNC. He went on to threaten Barb's campaign by saying, "If you don't, Barb is finished!" The RNC has given money to some local "point people" in the Twin Cities to have party events neglecting the most valued and important thing to attract voter's of color to the Republican Party..."community engagement and outreach". No one from Minnesota's non-profit agencies have been contacted by the GOP/RNC to teach the community about the Constitution of the United States or even to register voters. Remember...Liberty does not have a color, it has soul!
This "slave mentality thinking" i.e.; "Be good you Black Republican's while our White friends are in town" does not fly with me or the tools I have in place to distribute this message "top-of-mind"
Keith Ellison is not worried and rest assured that the Minnesota GOP will put no effort into an African American Republican candidate for Congress in Minnesota with the current leadership of the GOP.
Again, and for the last time - I will ask, what African American Congressional Candidates have been scheduled to speak at the RNC? What do we really have to loose, besides Minnesota's 5th Congressional District?
Good day!
