MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A retired couple from Murfreesboro will testify before a House subcommittee about their experience with Tennessee's new law requiring a photo ID as Democrats question whether these types of state laws create barriers to voting. These changes in state voting laws raise serious constitutional concerns under both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Fifteenth Amendment," U.S. Reps. John Conyers of Michigan and Jerrold Nadler of New York wrote in a letter to the Judiciary Committee chairman.

• Should Blacks in Brookyn Send Yassky to Congress?

The "ballot or the bullet" battle cry which gave rise to the Fifteenth Amendment is now being threatened because of plantation politics. Black leaders prefer a Black Democrat representing the Eleventh C.D. but racial politics is negotiable and can yield to party politics. In the end, [David Yassky] will be o.k. to leading Blacks. Blacks were totally disenfranchised before 1870 and, mostly, disenfranchised since 1870; that is, Blacks were, mostly, unable to represent Blacks.

There is no constitutional or statutory rationale for Yassky to represent a predominantly Black Congressi...

• Between the Lines; Renewing the 1965 Voting Rights Act; It's a Matter of Taking Away Federal Protection-Not the Vote Itself

Last Saturday, August 6, was the 40th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The whole week preceding the anniversary, the question was-What would President [George W.

Expiration of the Voting Rights Act (due to occur, January, 2007), will not-I repeat, WILL NOT, cause Blacks to automatically lose their right to vote. It's ignorant, it's preposterous, and we should stop the feeding frenzy that started around the year 2000 and has probably circled the world five hundred times over. If I get another e-mail talkin' 'bout, "Urgent: Blacks to lose the right to vote in 2007...," I'm thrownin' my computer on the floor. For as long as there is a Fifteenth Amendment, Blacks,...
