Erica, I saw you on c-span and was very impressed. You are a very intelligent and beautiful woman. I am 31 and have been studying politics (at home:)) for the last 7 years. I was always a BIG TIME Democrat, but after a careful review and research, realized that a Democratic party is almost ALL the same as the Republican party at this point of time. I was just wondering if you share my opinion and if not can you give me a few solid Democratic policies that have shown and been proven to help minorities (like myself) become more succesful.
Hello Erica Williams,
I also had the good fortune to see your appearance on C-Spans' "Q + A," and I am really impressed and inspired by your progressive politics and the passionate, professional, and engaging way you present them.
RE: your comments on crack cocaine and the black community, thank goodness they are finally doing way with the Rockefeller laws in New York.
I'm a writing instructor at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA, and I plan to show my classes a portion of your interview, as a terrific example of how to effectively employ communication skills in an audience-friendly manner. I'll be using your prose as models for my students as well.
I'm sorry to hear that your father passed away, especially at such a young age, but I'm certain that he is extremely proud of his intelligent, dynamic, and determined daughter.
Keep showing us the way, Erica.

Good Day Miss Erica Williams -
I was very impressed with your interview on Q & A. It was very refreshing to see a young lady representing the progressive youth movement in this more modern society where old conservative ideals sometimes create non-engaging views...even though I'm sure you may say you do not respresnt the ideals of all progressives in this country. You spoke very well at The State of the Black Union as well. God Bless and keep working hard for improving the inequalities and social justice issues in the country, as I will do the same.
Best Wishes,
Justice Black

Hello
I have watched State of the Black Union for a number of years on
CSPAN each March. I saw people say that we need to put pressure
on the appropriate people to get legislation enacted into law.
I, a Jewish man of age 59 voted for Barack Obama enthusiastically. I live in NY and do activism.
Please read the following and if you find it good then please spread the word. The Republiklan party as I see it will still block progress even though they lost 2 big congressional elections and the Presidency.
Thank you.
Hello
When corporations hold back progressive legislation then we need to take political action and pressure GOP contributors into getting us the legislation that they have blocked through funding the GOP whose representatives and Senators block legislation. Please discuss this with your colleagues and hopefully you will get citizens to take action. The usual past actions have not worked. How about doing something different for a change that might work?

leader Senator Mitch McConnell. Tell other people to visit this

Hello
I want the following actions taken and legislation enacted into law.
Congress and the President must enact HR 676 single payer
universal health care and set up a new prescription drug benefit
in Medicare Part B covering 80% of the cost of all drugs with
no extra monthly premiums, no extra yearly deductible, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, I won't buy
ANYTHING from Republican contributor Rite Aid Pharmacies.
The President must end the war in Iraq and until that happens
I will not buy any products from Republican contributor and
War contractor General Electric Corporation.
Congress and the President must enact a $10/HR MINIMUM
WAGE into law and until this happens I will not go to any
Republican contributor Wendy's Restaurants.
In 2008 Brown-Forman of Kentucky, the maker of Jack Daniels
Whiskey and Southern Comfort gave Mitch McConnell money
for his campaign.
SENATOR McCONNELL MUST NOT EXECUTE ANY REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTERS FOR 8 YEARS DURING THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY AND MUST GET THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT ENACTED INTO LAW
AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS I WON'T BUY JACK DANIELS WHISKEY OR SOUTHERN COMFORT OR ANY OTHER OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
Thank you.
