Subject: re: Ltr. to DNC Chairman
DNC
Dear Mr. Terry McAuliffe:
It is crystal-clear to me that your not responding to two (2) previous e-mails, regarding the interracial community, shows your total disregard and lack of sensitivity to my constituents. It is, frankly, appalling; especially when I read that you and your staff proclaim publicly that you work with the ‘gay & lesbian’ community. And, even boast about having hired them on the DNC staff. I have nothing against the homosexual community.
I would, strongly, suggest that you consider our community. We, successfully, lobbied the OMB. And, now that we are being officially counted, 6.8 million households strong, we intend on letting our voices be heard and our votes be counted, in a huge way. And, to be a vibrant and well-connected part of American Democracy!
Very truly yours,
Valerie A. Wilkins-Godbee
President of
*Interracial Women’s
Political Consortium;
and former dep. chief
national director of
A PLACE FOR US/National,
est. 1984, a 501 (c) (3)
interracial advocacy group.
