Govenor: Lucy Baxley is the best choice for govenor. We've just had too much of Bob Riley's double talk. Operation From The Bottom doesn't believe that Bob Riley has our community in mind when he does bushiness.
Lt. Govenor: Jim Folsom, Jr. is the best choice for this position in my view and I have a good feeling that our young African-Americans will turnout to vote.
Attorney General: Neither candidate is best for this position. The Reason: This position is for a candidate that will address the Alabama Prison Industrial Complex Machine! The Attorney General's office is more than locking people up and who can lock up more. Now don't get me wrong some people need to be locked up. We need an attorney general that will bring Alabama in line with the majority of the country when it comes to restoring voting rights! Both candidates would deny that racism plays out in courts all over Alabama. Both candidates will not address the racial disparity in Alabama prisons.
Senate District 7: Parker Griffith is the best choice for this job. After the republican candidate came to A&M and referred to the audience as Africans a lot of people were turned off. In that same speech she said she had "four of them working for her" referring to black employees.
Madison County Sheriff: Tommy Hooper is the best choice for this position. He would address many issues that African-Americans are concerned about such as: waste, deaths, rapes and murders in the jail. I think that he would not tolerate racism in the department or out on patrol. I will show my support at the poles on Tuesday and I encourage those who want change to do the same. We have a chance to bring some calmness to the situation.
Stay tuned for election comments on November 8, 2006* politics will not stop after the election. We will get back to empowering the community in phase two of the struggle.
About Me
- Marcus J. Echols
- I became politically active because I wanted to "bring voices to power." I believe in what I stand for and that is honest government. The uplift of those who don't have a voice excited and gave me a certain passion that completed the meaning of my purpose. I believe that the only way the African-American community can attain "fairness" and "equity" is by voting leaders in office who will empower the grassroots. I believe that as soon as this doesn't happen we should vote them out office. No second chances because some of our leaders develop near perfect excuses of failing to empower the grassroots election after election!
