Dear Deanna!
I was a black Florida voter who
was mistreated during the Bush
and Gore election. I along with
other blacks didn’t get to vote
and we could’ve made a differ
ence. When this issue went to the
Supreme Court level why d id n ’t
the black representatives in the
House make noise about this is
sue? They d id n ’t say a word.
Why ? --Gail S.; Jacksonville,

Dear Gail:
The black representatives did cry
out. However, due to being out
numbered by their white counter
parts they were told, in not so
many words, to sit down, shut up
and keep it moving. Jessie Jack-

he too was shut down. In the end,
