Dear Congress,
The America people must never again tolerate any hateful corrupt
organized domestic terrorist hate crime groups hiding behind the first
Amendment, second Amendment or any law to intimidate, kill or injure
American citizens, in this society, based the removal of a Confederate
battle flag or statue of a Confederate Monument in the United States of
American.
The American people must be reminded the foundation of bigotry, hate
crimes, political or judicial bias, white supremacy and racial segregation,
the denial of equal protection under the law to person of African ancestry
and citizenship in the United States, rest upon the Supreme Courts final
decision, on March 6, 1857, in Scott v. Sandford, written by Chief Justice
Roger B. Taney, a white supremacist, was that current or former slaves
and their descendants had no rights which the white man was bound to
respect.
On April 4, 1967, as the war in Vietnam was reaching its full fury, Martin
Luther King Jr. said, "A time comes when silence is betrayal." And he
said, "Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the
night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony,
but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is
appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak."
It is our hope, and the hope of the vast majority of the American people,
that you will hear the cries for corrective justice and for peace, not only
from your constituencies but also from people of good will all over the
world. Members of Congress, in your hands rest the future of our great
Nation. Now the time to speak has come again.
Thank you,
