If so, all she has to do is go to 90for90. And why doesn’t she? I'm more than a little upset with the HRC campaign at this point. She’s taking a lot of heat in the mainstream media for her inability to connect with the black voters who she needs so badly to turn out.
Obama turned them out. Obama knew how to speak to the black people. Then again Obama is black. paraphrased from Politico
To kill Donald Trump's chances of capturing the White House, Hillary Clinton needs to win Florida. And to do that, she needs a big minority turnout.
But Democrats are beginning to worry that too many African-American voters are uninspired by Clinton’s candidacy, leading her campaign to hit the panic button this week and launch an all-out blitz to juice-up voter enthusiasm.www.politico.com/...
This criticism is totally unnecessary, she’s been a supporter of the 90for90 project, a voter advocacy movement honoring Dr. Reid’s decades of work in the field of voter advocacy, since January.
The complete story is right here at 90for90. The story of Dr. William Reid. He started in 1955 in Jim Crow Richmond VA, helping black folks pass their literacy tests and pay their poll taxes on time.
It was important at that time to vote for the best candidate available to demonstrate the power of the black vote, even if the candidate was imperfect.
After a decade or more of this work Dr. Reid was elected as the first black state representative in VA since Reconstruction, opening the door for the election of the first black governor the history of the United states.
If Hillary wants to connect with the black vote all she has to do is tell this story whenever she speaks with a diverse audience; black, Hispanic or otherwise. Dr. Reid’s story in VA is the story of perseverance, organization and persistence, in the face of overwhelming resistance from the forces of the status quo.
This would be a powerful motivating message to the communities Hillary needs to win this election. The beauty of this message is that it’s FREE. For Hillary. Dr. Reid paid greatly with decades of hard work. Hillary can have the benefit of all those years of hard work, all she has to do it take it.
Many of the people running Hillary's campaign throughout the country are too young to know this history. Hillary and Bill Clinton are not too young and neither is Tim Kaine, a Virginian who has also benefited from Dr. Reid’s political history.
The best part for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine is that Dr. Reid, at 91 years old, is still vibrant, spry and as politically active as ever. All they have to do is reach out to him, I’m sure he would be glad to help in any way he can.
Black messaging problem solved!
It’s all right there on 90for90 for the taking.
