Today is Monday November 5th, 2018. The Day Before a Critical Midterm Election.
First of All, Let Me Say How Proud I am of All of You who Have Registered to Vote and Early Voted and Registered Others. Praise God for Putting Feet on Your Concerns and Fighting. Especially Those of Us of Color and Women....Go Ahead With Your "Good" Self! I Also Want to Congratulate again, David Hogg and All of The Young People who were Victims of The Parkland Shootings and from Other School Shootings. In Your Grief You and The Parents Who Lost a Child, Turned those Tears into Power, Prayer and Work. You Did Not Let a Tragedy and
The Weakening Power of The NRA, and The Weak No Spine Congress Stop You! I am So Proud of You!
But to The Rest of You, Who Only have Not Voted But Do Not Plan to Vote.
What is Your Problem? Almost Every Morning on Sirus Radio, Joe Madison Ask his Listeners
When They Call in Complaining..."So What Are ""You" Going to Do About it!?" Why Do We have to Keep Telling People that People Died So that You Can Vote? Why Did Oprah have to Tell That Heartfelt Story about Brother Moss Who Many Years ago, Put on his Only Good Suit, to Walk 18 Miles to Vote in Georgia. But After being Sent to The Wrong Polls Site Over again, He Finally got to The Right Poll Site. But, when he got there, They Said to him..."Boy..You're Too Late! And He Died Before He Got to Vote. That Made So Many of us Angry and it Hurted. But Why Do We have to Baby Sit You and Force You to Do What's Right?
**Like What Chris Matthews Said, If You Can Stand in a Line at Starbucks for a Hour, Then You Can Stand in a Line to Vote. And I Say, If You Can Stand in a Long Line for Hours and Hours for that
"So Called Black Friday" Sale, Then You Better Stand in Line and Vote. And Do Not Let Them Turn You Away....Vote a Provisional Ballot or Whatever, But Vote!!! Or You Won't Have any Money to Stand in that Line!
So I ask You The Same Question: Tomorrow is Election Day. What are You going to do About it?
You Complain and Whine and when it Comes Time to Use Your Authority and Responsibility in
Your Vote, You Say...I Don't Feel Like it. And My Vote Do Not Count Anyway. Stop Buying into That Lie! Listen, If Your Vote Did Not Count, They ( The Republican Party and The Like). Would Not Be Spending, Millions of Dollars to Scheme, Scam, Lie and Suppress Your Vote! Wake Up! What are They Afraid of? You See, They Know that Your Vote has Power, Like Education Do and They Cannot Stand for us to Be Educated. My Husband Always said, Why can't they Just Let Everyone Vote Free and Square? Why is it Always Something? Again, Jim Crow is Not Dead. He has Cousins, Nieces and Nephews. And They Want to Hang us, Lynch Us and Literally Beat Us by Throwing Folk of Color in Jail so That
We Cannot Be Active. Wake Up, Are You going to Wait until it is Your Child that Lost their
Appeal and Now have to Face a Racist Supreme Court? Are You going to Wait until Your Benefits are Cut? And You Can No Longer get Insurance?, Not Even Your Young Children, Because Children's Health Care is Gone? Are You going to Wait Until All of Your Civil Rights Are Gone? And Listen...Are You Going to Wait until They Get Tired of Locking up and Separating Immigrant Families and Children and Come After You? Because You Know that They Do Not Want us Here Either. And By The Way...We All, Except for The Native Americans are Immigrants. And They Should be Putting All of Us Out! **.Oh And Another News Flash to The White Supremacist...Like My Mother Told Me a Long Time ago, (As a Child who Comes From a Mixed Racial Family) There is No Pure White Race! We All have a Little bit of Something Else in Us. So Read A Real Bible and Go and Get a DNA Ancestry Test. You Will Be Surprised!!
You See, God is Not Pleased With All of This Trumping, Racial Mess and He Has Had Enough!!! ***We All Must Love and Come Together As One! And We Must Pray, Stand Up...And Fight!!!
Finally: When I Got My Voting Card at age 18, it Was One of The Proudest Days of My Life. And When My Adult Children who are Now 42 and 37 Got their Voter's Registration Card, They Too were So Proud. And They Have Not Stop Fighting and Voting until This Day, and I am So Proud of Them! So What is Your Excuse? A 93 Year Old Retired A.M.E. Pastor in Detroit is going to The Clerks Office to Vote Today. She has Been Very Ill, But Nothing is Going to Stop her from Casting Her Vote. People Who are Sick and Shut in, Bereaved, and are Inpatients in The Hospital are Voting...So What is Your Excuse!?
You See, People Who Do Not Vote, For Far Too Long, has Been Benefiting from Things That We Have Voted For. Well Baby..That Ends Today!
So, Let Me tell You the Way I have Told My New St. John A.M.E. Church-Dearborn-Family and
Community Today.....And again..I am going to Try to Say This As Kind As I Can.....
IF YOU DO NOT VOTE TOMORROW-NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018....SHUT UP!!!!!
Blessings,
PastorD
