Dear Fellow Americans: >NOTE< IF you agree with this effort, forward this email. BUT if you do NOT agree, just smile and delete. This is NO attempt to influence your vote and NO.... I have NOT been approached or solicited or asked or paid or anything....to "launch this letter". I am reminded that when Americans fail to speak out against what they perceive as bad politics and bad policies, we ALL loose. I have always been a taxpaying and voting citizen. My first vote was for John F. Kennedy. I have felt great disdain for African Americans who vigorously support the Republican Party. When the Clinton's were being attacked by Ken Star and were subjected to the dirty tactics of a smear campaign by the Republican Party, even 'tho personal misbehavior invited that, I wrote letters of support to the Clinton's and, on their behalf, to numerous politicians, media pesons and to church leaders across this nation. In my opinion, this 2008 Presidential political contest is NOT so much about race or/and gender, as it is about POWER. But it MUST also be won ethically and fairly. As it appears to me, BOTH the Clinton's are making a strong case to validate the belief that the abused, once gaining power, may become the abuser. Speaking for myself only, I am grateful that when there was a call for the bus boycott in Montgomery, AL, that NOT one African American Minister called for support of continued segregated busses. Every "chance" to support a candidate is NOT the same thing as an opportunity to promote the GOOD of the people. To express my concern about their actions, I have personally contacted certain community leaders via web addresses, who have been motivated or/ and felt obligated to step forward with unnecessary and untimely "ENDORSEMENTS" or/and divisive debasing comments.OH! What would Adam Clayton Powell think now? ~~~ PLEASE help God BLESS America~~~ It IS our responsibility to step IN here. The media, while we NEED them for information, IS also fanning the flames of a fire that has the potential to become big and dangerous. I hope to have as many people as possible call the Clinton Headquarters; numbers listed below. I have called.YOU tell them: 1. Tell any one who answers the phone that you want to see an end to the negative campaigning 2. That you are a private citizen who does NOT like the personal attacks and distortion of the record 3. That you WILL withdraw support and WILL campaign against ANY candidate who initiates and maliciously perpetrates "personal" and cheap attacks 4. That we Americans want POSITIVE campaigning on THE ISSUES from a leader who seeks to unify, NOT just win .............OR....... say whatever YOU choose, but DO call to say something that may help foster a more civil campaign I have sent this email to HUNRDEDS OF PEOPLE on hundreds of sites including Nat'l Democratic Party, THE CLINTON'S.....library etc et al, COLLEGES, URBAN LEAGUE, NAACP...... talk radio hosts, popular news media......... and HUNDREDS of other people have sent it out also. Pass on AND make YOUR calls NOW. IF people started calling me THE Queen of England, I would likely wonder why, but in NO case would I believe myself to be unequivocally entitled to the socio-political advantages of that office. Maybe someone should tell Bill. He was "NICKNAMED" the first Black President. He wasn't REALLY him.

Lawrence E Richards 7272 Landsdale St. Brooksville, Florida 34601 Law_richards@yahoo,.com 352-585-5466 Why are Citizens being attacked? Mar. 01, 08 Nothing in this world is more alarming then the fact that U. S. Citizens are being attacked and done harm by the U S Government Satellite Program. I was attacked while in Ohio early last year, March and April, after some traveling to Oklahoma, and on to Amarillo, Texas. Apparently, this torturing started before my trip West, for I suffered substantially, prior to that time, not realizing what was happening to me. Throughout 06-07 winter, October until my journey West in March, I suffered an agonizing experience of an equal consequence. At that time, I consider it much more evil and more deadly, for it was done within my home, day and night, while sleeping, while eating, while using the bathroom. You may ask “how can a person be harm, tortured I would say, within their home and not be able to defend themselves.” My understanding was revealing when I thought back to how Russia, in the Cold War, beamed energies into the United States Embassy office building in Moscow, Russia. It wasn’t until some time that the administrations in Moscow realize what was happening, mainly because there was no way of knowing what was happening to the individuals while on duty. I don’t remember the details of the occurrences, but apparently the people there at the Embassy became sickly and this bombardment of energies hindered their work. Could the government in this country, pick out individual citizens who may have irritated a few people, doing them harm? The only reason I’m able to protect myself from this tormenting affect, is my understanding of what actually happened in the Embassy in Moscow. Beams of energy at a specific frequency converging at some designated intersect, namely me while minding my affairs here in my home, tormenting and doing me harm. I’m sure you are extremely hesitant about even thinking such a thing is happening. Yes, this was my first thought when Satellites defense technology came to mind, “is it possible?” “Could it be, someone like me, am under surveillance, attacked by such high tech equipment?” No Way! I thought. But, after weeks of suffering its affect, I discovered truly, satellites are involved. It was recent I’ve been able to pinpoint the exact direction of those invading my privacy, remembering the U S Embassy in Moscow, Russia. I decided it would do no good to contact the Police Dept. “Where’s the harm?” “Where’s the evidence?”—only those who are involved would understand such uncivilized tactics. Spying and harm goes on today and now. Are you willing to believe such evil, is happening, is going on in my home? The End.
