Petition short version:
We the under signed ask Marian Wright Edleman to show
her support for Barack Obama for president 2008. We
also would appreciate Marian explaining why her
husband resigned from Bill clintons cabinet and why on
July 24th when Marian Spoke to Amy Goodman at
democracynow.org she didn't eleborate further in her
views of Hillary Clinton who proclaims to be the
candidate for childrens right.
The following are a few articles explaining in some
detail as to the clintons dealings with regards to
Marian Wright Edleman. (note: these articles can be
found at the petition site by clicking petition
overview under Marians picture)
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY ASAP

""Hillary Co-Ops Marians organization as if Marian is
endorsing her""
NOTE: The link to Hillary's site is below.
http://hillaryclinton.com/issues/family/
Go to hillaryclinton.com. Click 'HILLARY" tab at top
of page and select "Hillary's Story". Then on the
right of the page under "HILLARY ON THE ISSUES" click
"Supporting Parents and Caring for Children". In the
second paragraph read..."From her first job out of law
school at the Children's Defense Fund..."
Hillary is effectively associating herself with the
CDF without seeking actually saying she is and without
saying why Marian the individual citizen, her mentor
at CDF is not supporting her for the nomination. This
mention of the CDF by Hillary in this fashion does not
give the correct impression. Namely, that neither
Marian nor her husband, who resigned the Clinton
Administration in PROTEST, are at odds with the
Clinton's in a most serious way. What is the nature
of that disagreement when the Clinton's are giving the
impression that all is well with her relationship with
the CDF. This is SO a typically Clinton (not quite
honest) maneuver. Marian has a Christian and
Citizenship duty to correct that false impression. To
share the truth with the Democrats and the American
people BEFORE they nominate another Clinton to the
important job of President of the United States at
this critical point in our Nation's history.

He has the nerve to expressly bring up Obama's admitted past drug use by saying "I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in the book" and then insult everyone's intelligence by saying that he was referring to Obama's community organizing work?!?!!?
If that was the case why not just say "community organizing? There is no need to be coy about that. And the suggestion that "Hillary and Bill Clinton were deeply and emotionally involved in black issues" while Barack Obama was basically lounging around the 'hood doing drugs is beyond insulting.
But then again, Bob Johnson is used to insulting black people.
I know Barack is much too good of a man for this but I just wish that he would call up Bob Johnson and Andrew Young and all the other house negroes and give them a simple message . . .
"You just ended up on the wrong side of history, so pray to God that I don't win this thing."
I'm glad you reminded the people about Bob Johnson being a Bush cheerleader on pvt. Social Security. Instead of going on the attack himself why hasn't the Obama campaign employed a surrogate to say what he obviously cannot. I understand, Barack cannot go BIGGER & BLACKER while Hilary plays up gender.
He can however begin to highlight other repugnant right-wing policies she's supported besides the war vote.
Good post. Keep it up.
What Bob Johnson was saying is that Mr. Obama was somewhere smoking dope,according to Mr. Obamba's own words, while the Clintons were championing causes that benefited the best interest of Black people. How dare he? I would not have backed down from because the truth, is the truth. There are some people playing crazy, and if you are not careful, you are going to get played.
Now to see that she has Bob Johnson talking her up and trashing Obama is sad. She needs to give it up. I don't like being played.
No, that's not what he was saying, that's what he implied. If that's what he wanted to say, he should have had the courage to say it outright. What he did do is actually sleazier that saying it outright.
They didn't need Obama's campaign to express their objections. There are many black people from Democratic Congressman to avergae citizens expressing outrage over what Hillary said.
The comment Johnson made about Obama's drug use was low. Why didn't he bring up Bill Clinton being dishonest about having sexual relations with an intern? Or better yet, why didn't he mention how he fooled black people into thinking that BET would be cable network that black people could be proud of? This is a clear example of how some in the black community like to bring others down; the crab in the barrel mentality. I am frankly insulted that Bob Johnson was dishonest when he created Black Entertainment Television, or as I call it; Bootleg Entertainment Television.
Johnson claimed that BET would be a one stop shop for news, entertainment and politics. The network would address issues of the black community. Well we all found out that was a lie. BET became the safe haven for exploiting common negative stereotypes of black people. He made billions off of exploiting black people.
Clinton stuck her foot in her mouth, and no matter what she meant to say, she said it and people commented on it. Instead of taking responsibility for what she said or meant to say, she is too busy trying to blame the Obama campaign for adding fuel to the fire.
The bottom line is this: Support a candidate because you believe in their plans for the country; not because you are in some type of pay back mode. You see some black people, especially some in the older generation, feel that since the Clintons supported some issues that affected the black community that we owe them our lives. That we owe them favors for as long as we live; and I say that is complete BS. We paid the Clintons for what they did, by voting for Bill Clinton during his run for second term in office; we don't owe them a thing now. I applaud the Clintons for their service to this country, but that doesn't mean that black people have to sign over their first born just because the Clintons supported causes that affected African Americans.
But in a way it fits together you know. Bob Johnson clearly has deep-seated antagonism towards black advancement and upliftment. Case in point: BET. Hence when someone like Obama who embodies black advancement and upliftment and all that has been fought for (that people may be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin) comes along, it rankles him.
Disgusting. I actually think this will do the Clintonistas more harm than good - on their side is Bob Johnson, on Obama's side is Oprah. Hmm... which media tycoon is more respected by the black community?
Johnson straight up admitted his TRUE agenda behind creating BET in Savoy magazine several years ago. I wrote about it here:

This coon has been hoodwinking and helping to destroy us since the very beginning. It's time for a Revolution and a Reevalution!
Besides those who worship the altar of the free-market (or have an aspiring coon career), who else listens to Bob Johnson? Second only to D.W. Griffith, no one has pushed more coonerific imagery on our people than this no good bastard. He has told so many lies he's got a dollar for each one.
There are big news else ware in the world i.e. Oldest parliament in the world burned down
Your statement:
"Negroes please! Here we go AGAIN...blaming the MAN for our own shortcomings. Bob Johnson did not put a gun to anyone's head and force them to allow a rapper to swipe a credit card down their crack for money, but the young ladies that ALLOW themselves to be demeaned that way did" is correct.
These young ladies should have more respect for themselves then doing what they did.
HOWEVER,
Bob Johnson ALLOWED it to be aired. If he had not allowed that to be put on BET would you have ever seen that young woman allowing someone to swipe a credit card on her behind?
Mr. Johnson has not taken responsibility for demeaning and disgracing the Black community. When he had the choice to air substantial and uplifting programs devoted to black families and news worth hearing, he removed all of them and replaced them with the booty-shakers and credit card swipers.
NO, WHOSE BEING RESPONSIBLE?
Actions speak louder than words every time, and by his actions Mr. Johnson has repeatedly shown his contempt for the African American community in every way possible.
As some in the Black community would say, he should go somewhere and sit down.
