Future of Black voting power witnessed in Election 2000

While candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush face-off for the seat of president, the massive turnout to the polls by Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Arab Americans, and Asians across America have confirmed an important fact: They are a political force to be reckoned with. What does this mean? In the future, those political powers that do not incorporate the ethnic agenda into the national agenda may find themselves unseated and powerless.

U.S. role as honest broker in Mideast challenged

UNITED NATIONS (IPS)�When Yasser Arafat was asked what he plans to do about the rising violence in the West Bank and Gaza, the Palestinian leader pointedly blamed the military excesses on the Israelis. Traditionally, the United States has tried to play the role of the �honest broker�� in mediating the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians, and also between Israelis and Arabs.  But the billions of dollars in U.S. economic and military aid doled out to Israel every year�$1.9 billion in outright military grants and $1.2 billion in economic aid�clearly signal a far greater U.S. commitment to Israel than to the Palestinians.more

Organize and Mobilize Part II
by Minister Louis Farrakhan

I believe that just as Moses smote a rock and brought water forth, our leveraging of our unity on the side of what is good can bring out of any of these candidates and their parties what they under their present condition cannot give us. I just want the people to come out and exercise that right and privilege to vote. But after this, we intend to mobilize people so that we will not have to make a decision between two evils. We will make a decision between that which is good for the people by putting someone up that is good for the people and then backing such a candidate.

When the strong man goes
by A. Akbar Muhammad

On December 7, 2000, the people of the Republic of Ghana will go to the polls to elect a new President. There has been controversy and much written about President Rawlings as he prepares to move on. As a resident and a friend of the people of Ghana for the last ten years, I must say that during the Rawlings� administration from the days of the PNDC (Provisional National Defense Council) to the NDC (National Democratic Congress), Ghana has enjoyed nearly twenty years of stability.
