In July 1862, President Lincoln read his “preliminary proclamation” to his Cabinet, then decided to wait for a Union military victory to issue it. On September 22, 1862, following the victory at Antietam, he signed the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, formally alerting the Confederacy of his intention to free all persons held as slaves within the rebellious states. One hundred days later, with the Confederacy still in full rebellion, President Abraham Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation.

If you are Black, Please vote for me, Barack Obama
(18 Good Reasons)
1. I’m for Gay Marriage. If you’re not, please vote for me anyway.
2. I’m for abortion on demand, up to and including the 3rd trimester. If you’re not, please ignore that and vote for me anyway.
3. I have unleashed the power of the federal government against religious institutions. If you are opposed to that, please ignore your core beliefs and vote for me anyway.
4. I inherited a bad economic situation, and my policies have delayed the recovery, and I know you don’t like that, but please vote for me anyway.
5. I am threatening to raise your taxes in January, if I don’t get my way on taxing the “rich” (which would run the government for seven days), but please vote for me anyway.
6. I am opposed to charter schools and school vouchers so you could send your kids wherever you like, and I know you are for those things, but please vote for me anyway.
7. I promised to be out of Afghanistan and we’re not yet, and I know you don’t like that, but please vote for me anyway, because I gave $1.8 Billion to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
8. Real Black unemployment is above 25%, and I know you don’t like that, but please vote for me anyway, because I have increased federal aid to soup kitchens.
9. I have doubled the people on Food Stamps, welfare, and Disability. I know you don’t like that, and want jobs instead of handouts, but please vote for me anyway, because I like “green” energy.
10. We botched the Fast and Furious operation. More than 200 Mexican civilians, and one American were killed with the guns my Justice Department supplied, and I know you don’t like that, but please vote for me anyway because I promise not to do that anymore.
11. Rather than let Attorney General Eric Holder answer a lawful subpoena from Congress, I invoked “Executive Privilege”. I know, you would go to jail if you didn’t respond to a subpoena, but trust me — I’m not hiding anything. It just looks that way, so please vote for me anyway.
12. Yes, I claimed credit for killing Osama Bin Laden, even though it was Seal Team Six, using intel developed under Bush that got him, and yes, that is a little creepy, but please vote for me anyway.
13. I use your tax dollars for Planned Parenthood, even though Margaret Sanger, a racist, founded it “to exterminate the Black race”. I’m hoping you are willing to overlook the millions of Black babies they have aborted, and vote for me anyway.
14. My Party’s policies have torn apart the Black family. 72% of Black births are out of wedlock. I hope you will just forget that, and vote for me anyway, because I am, after all, Black.
15. My policies have stalled the economic recovery, and now we are slowing down even more, but please overlook that and give me four more years to work my magic.
16. Your electricity bill is going up because I am closing coal-fired generators, but I hope you will vote for me anyway because I like the environment, and I am trying to stop global warming.
17. Since I took office, my Administration has issued more than 50,000 pages of new regulations, resulting in job losses. The number of people actually working is the smallest in many years, but I am advertising to get them to sign up for Food Stamps, so please vote for me.
18. Yes, I cut $500 Billion from Medicare, and prescriptions are being rationed for Medicaid patients. I hope you vote for me anyway, ‘cause if I can get you a little poorer (and I’m trying), it will be free.
Thank you.
Barack Obama
PS: Since my father was half-Arab and half-Black, I am 25% Black, so please vote for me anyway.

Open Letter to the Congressional Black Caucus
Judiciary Committee Members
Dear Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC):
It has come to my attention that several members of the CBC who serve on the Judiciary Committee attempted to invalidate the Frederick Douglass Foundation and went on to attack me personally during the markup of the Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA). These inaccurate and inappropriate statements were made in direct response to Rep. Franks reading into the records my letter supporting the original title. If it weren’t for the fact that I have became immune to attacks during my tenure as the Vice Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party (the first Black vice Chairman and highest party official since its inception, March 27, 1867), I might have been offended. However, I am honored to know Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA), in particular, took so much time in his attempt to smear me. (Page 47, Lines #1090-1106-Transcripts from the Feb 8, 2012 Sus an B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act of 2011 markup)
Perhaps you haven’t notice, but a number of things have changed since the CBC was founded in 1969. Yet there are those of you who believe there are certain rules by which all Blacks should follow! Well, this is your official notification that the rules have changed and organizations, like the Frederick Douglass Foundation, will not sit silent while you go about the business of profiting off the hardship of those you supposedly represent.
Frederick Douglass said during his address on West India Emancipation (08-04-1857):
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must pay for all they get. If we ever get free from all th e oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs be, by our lives, and the lives of others”.
On December 6, 2011, Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ) made the following comment while introducing PRENDA:
“In 1847, Frederick Douglass said, ‘Right is of no sex, truth is of no color, God is the father of us all and all are brethren,’” Franks proclaimed as he announced what he calls the “Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act of 2011.”
House GOP Memo: “Abortion Is the Leading Cause of Death in the Black Community”
In response, to Representative Franks, Representative John Conyers (D-MI) said:
“I’ve studied Frederick Douglass more than you,” said Conyers. “I’ve never heard or read about him saying anything about prenatal nondiscrimination.”
Maybe Rep. John Conyers has read more about Frederick Douglass but it appears he failed to read about Susan B. Anthony. If you had read about her, then you would know that Susan B. Anthony and A.M.E. lay preacher Frederick Douglass were the best of friends. Furthermore, you would definitely know she made the following statement in the 1869 publication, The Revolution, 4(1):4 July 8, 1869:
“Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!”
“Abortion was referred to as “child murder.”
Rep. John Conyers said the following on February 8, 2012:
“It is offensive that the sponsors of this bill would invoke the names of two of our Nation’s historic civil rights pioneers…”
Rep. Conyers, I know you have been in Congress since 1965. And while I respect your tenure, by no means does this mean you get to coop the Civil Rights movement as your own prize possession! Furthermore, it was extremely inappropriate for the Democratic members serving on the House of Representative Judiciary committee to attack the Frederick Douglass Foundation.
Therefore, on behalf of the members, friends and supports of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, I am cordially inviting you and the Democratic members of the CBC to join us to discuss this and a number of other issues in a public forum which we believe are directly assisting in the genocide of the Black community during the 4th Frederick Douglass Foundation. This should be especially enticing since Representatives Hank Johnson and Maxine Waters have accused this organization to be run by one person, whose PhD is in question and a front organization for some mysterious body. We will be meeting at the Washington Marriott Hotel March 15-17, Washington, DC while Congress is still in session.

Margaret Sanger’s Negro Leaders – Then and Now
Margaret Sanger, the found of the precursor to Planned Parenthood, conceived and implemented The Negro Project. And what was The Negro Project? It was a program to enlist the aid of articulate African Americans with engaging personalities to talk with black preachers and urge them to promote birth control and abortion in the black community. Why? Because Sanger believed that blacks and other minorities were inferior to white people with ancestry from northern Europe. Here is an excerpt of a letter written by Margaret Sanger to Dr. Clarence Gamble in 1939:
“[We propose to] hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Now, we have an articulate, African-American as president with an engaging personality: Barack Obama. One of his main priorities is overturning federal and state laws that restrict abortion through the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).
The Negro Project was developed by birth control reformers, who consulted with African-Americans for help. It was widely supported by such black leaders as Mary McLeod Bethune, W. E. B. DuBois, and Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
Sanger’s NNegro Leaders Led By: President Barack Obama
Sanger’s Negro Co-Leaders: Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
