Conservative African American groups are working for Bush by attacking Kerry. Their goal: suppress the Black vote.
The sham of GOP black voter outreach is over and the
true Republican mission has begun: suppress the African American vote,
by any means possible. To that end, the Bush men have enlisted the
mercenary services of black front groups invented by right wing
foundations in the 1990s to push for school vouchers and other elements
of the Republican agenda. These bought-and-paid-for servants of the
Hard Right took to the airwaves in August calling themselves People of
Color United and spending a rich white Republican man's money to attack
Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry as "rich, white and
wishy-washy." Virginia Walden-Ford, the operative who placed the attack
ads on black-oriented radio stations in the "battlefield" states of
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, is for all
practical purposes a paid agent of the Bradley Foundation of Milwaukee,
Wisc. She is a founding board member of the black Alliance for
Educational Options (BAEO), the pro-school vouchers group conceived,
birthed and jump-started with at least $2 million in 1999 by the
far-right Bradley and Walton Family Foundations (Wal-Mart). [more ] Photo from Whitehouse.org
