		<description>...Professionals, middle class losing out on income and opportunity...

“Blacks have not recovered from the recession of 2001 where during the good years of the 2000’s Black employment decreased by about two per cent and income declined about two per cent. Blacks only have about fifteen per cent of wealth of White Americans with a disproportionate amount of wealth accrued in home values. These facts have led to projections that almost a third of the Black middle class could fallout of their middle class status,” observed Dedrick Muhammad, a senior organizer and research associate for the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute of Policy Studies in an e-mail interview with The Final Call...&quot;

The biggest threat to &#039;black-middle class&#039;, working-class people  at the moment) is conservative democrats...

They are also called CONSERVDEMS!

I have one in my congressional district in Central Georgia. It&#039;s a 50-50 district meaning half African-American and half-white. However, Jim Marshall (Democrat) has voted a lot of the time with Republicans including many George Bush initiatives. Marshall was one of a few Democrats who voted against SCHIP, insurance for children.

Unfortunately, a lot of African-Americans don&#039;t vote and this hurts us because it gives CONSERVADEMS more power to continue the status quo and undermine real change.

President Obama said something last night when he was answering a question about the Middle East, but you can apply to current domestic and fiscal policy that affect African-Americans specifically.

&quot;The status quo is unsustainable&quot;.

Remember those unemployment statistics in regards to black folks..
13.6 overall, 16 black males, 38 black teenagers? Well, these figures won&#039;t get better if black and brown voters don&#039;t assert themselves during the mid-term elections.

At President Obama&#039;s press conference Tuesday night, he put forth a very ambitious budget that includes support for health care, energy and education. However, there is growing pushback toward Obama by conservative U.S. senators led by Evan Bayh of Indiana.

...&quot;Bayh&#039;s bloc&#039;s agenda is to eviscerate Obama&#039;s agenda in order to prevent healthcare reform and climate change policies. The Democrats willing to admit to being part of this new anti-Obama bloc are all the usual suspects, the conservatives with shit voting records who seem always eager to show the folks back home how much they detest working families and how dependable they are when it comes to denying the aspirations of ordinary Americans....&quot;</description>

		<description>GM Miz,


        Normally I would ignore this stuff, but this piece is based on a piece from a christian website:


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/townhall-michelle-obama-i_b_177947.html


P.S.  When I sent a message using a certain word that starts with B, I was told to change it, despite the fact that the piece contained the same word.</description>
