\nSenate Majority Leader
\n487 Russell Senate Office Building
\nWashington, DC 20510-2403<\/p>\n
Dear Majority Leader Lott:<\/p>\n
As the interracially married father of two multiracial children I feel compelled to express my extreme disappointment with your choice of company. For any public servant to have ties with an organization such as the Council of Conservative Citizens, who consider my marriage and the existence of my children as a threat to be eliminated is not only disturbing, it\u2019s infuriating.<\/p>\n
In light of the recent discoveries regarding your affiliations with the racist, white supremacist organization known as the Council of Conservative Citizens and your long history of affiliation and advocacy efforts on behalf of other racist organizations such as Bob Jones University, I ask you do the only honorable thing left – RESIGN. Your recent statements disassociating yourself from these types of organizations is a classic case of too little, too late. You should never have become involved with bigots and dangerous extremists in the first place. There is no place in the 106th Congress for a man committed to the principles of segregation and racial intolerance.<\/p>\n
Again I ask, RESIGN.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nJames A. Landrith, Jr.<\/p>\n
