Introducing 5 Powerful African American United States Congressional Candidates that could put the Republican Party back where it belongs
In the hands of “We the People”…People of Color!
It shocks me when I tell my friends that I am a Republican. You would think that you had talked about their mother. The fact is the Republican Party was formed to stop the Democrats’ pro-slavery agenda. The Democratic Party has taken whole populations of ethnic people and lied to them about the Republican Party. This double edged sword has some difficult “situations” to address before ethnic populations go back to the party that worked for them, with them and made sure there was more than a dime left behind.

We face many challenges as a nation. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to illegal immigration, to energy independence, to out of control federal spending, now more than ever we need leaders in Congress who represent our South Florida values.
My 22 years of service in the U.S. Army have taught me that America is a country unlike any other, and that our way of life is worth protecting. In Congress, I will put my experience to work for our national security and honor my oath to the US Constitution by protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. I will fight to lower taxes and reduce the size of federal government. I will be an advocate for policies that spur our economy and job creation, and will protect small business by cutting senseless regulations that cost jobs and increase overhead. And I will be a champion for reducing our dependence on foreign sources of oil, promoting energy independence while preserving our coastlines and farmland.
Thank you for visiting my campaign website. I am confident that as you learn more about my background and vision, you will agree my values and leadership are what our community needs in Washington during this important time in our history. Your support means a great deal to me.
In your service,
LTC Allen B. West, U.S. Army (Ret.)

Love is making a commitment and having the willingness to accept the sacrifices and inconveniences necessary to keep that commitment. This is true whether we are talking about another person, nation or society. Our forbearers came embracing a new spirit of responsibility. They built a representative form of government in which we are duty bound to participate. We now have a responsibility to follow their lead and build a more perfect union based on their example - not a celebration of diversity, but rather the assimilation of diverse ideas, and with it the people they represent.
Local communities, synagogues, mosques and churches once built the hospitals and schools required for a living, vibrant community. Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work to provide for a new generation of rugged Americans with a sense of commitment to the nation and the culture that our forefathers built and left in our care. Let us stop apologizing for our nation. We must renew our commitment to this country, as our generation, like our forefathers is being tested seeing whether this nation “so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
We must love our country and do the hard work that is necessary to pass this test.
Thank you!
Barb Davis White

I am running for U.S. Congress in 2008. I believe that our United States government is facing a moral crisis. As a country we are in danger of forsaking the moral cornerstone upon which our nation was founded. No longer do many of our leaders make decisions based on constitutional imperatives, time-honored values, or Christian principles.
Foundational phrases like “One Nation under God” and “In God We Trust,” which symbolize the genesis of our nation, are daily being assaulted by individuals and organizations with seemingly socialist agendas. Activist judges are virtually making laws from their benches, thereby usurping the powers of our U.S. Congress. Members of Congress are challenging the constitutional powers of the executive branch. The executive branch through utilizing executive orders is making judicial decrees. Where established order is not upheld, there is chaos. The current political chaos does not serve the citizens of our country well.
5) About Antoine Members:
Antoine Members IL CD 1st www.antoinemembers.com 773.846.0491
I am a lifelong resident of Chicago, born and raised on the Westside and now residing on the Southside. A family man, I am married to my beautiful wife, Tònia, and have two wonderful children, Destiny and Journey. Academically, I am a graduate of CVS High School and have attended East-West University. Professionally, I worked for several years at a medical clinic and hospital that serviced an underserved Westside community. I currently serve as a Sheriff Deputy for the Cook County Department of Corrections, where I recently celebrated my 3rd year of service. My faith has been shaped through growing up at Englewood Church of God, where I later became an Associate Minister. I am now a long time member of Living Word Christian Center.
Why I’m running…I am running because the good people of the 1st district need employment, protection, and opportunities. The people we have continually selected to represent our concerns have only represented themselves by creating legislation that benefits the special interest groups they have indebted themselves to. The problems our district continues to face have not been dealt with. If we continue on this path of electing politicians that do nothing for our communities, we will continue to receive the same results.
For the past 16 years, many of our children have not learned to read, and many have fallen far behind their appropriate grade levels. These educational challenges have lead to discouragement and exorbitant school dropout. For the past 16 years, jobs in our district have drastically decreased, and constructive activities to empower youth after school, on weekends and during the summer have disappeared. It is time to leave the past 16 years of job loss, increased violence, and lack of opportunities behind us. I want to create opportunities for small, mid-size, and large businesses to operate in our district because too many of our jobs are being shipped overseas causing fellow Americans to be out of work.
I want to crack down on the practice of illegal immigrants finding work while our ex-offender population is repeatedly denied work, forcing most of them to resort back to a life of crime.
It is time for a transition from our complacent officials of 18 years that have promised to do the job, but have failed to deliver year after year. All these reasons have inspired me and that is why I am running for Congress.
These are the 5 most important people from the United States of America running for Congress.
Barb Davis White to Challenge Keith Ellison for the Minnesota 5th Congressional District!
It’s almost like a dream. You wake up one morning and decide you’ve had enough. You think, “What can I do to assist the community I love so dearly?”
- Barb Davis White on “Why Congress?”
Barb Davis White is running for Congress in Minnesota’s 5th District against Keith Ellison. In July, four months prior to elections, the significance of selecting the next congressperson may not be a priority, but it should be.
In 2006, Martin Sabo (DFL) retired after 26 years in the House. Keith Ellison, also a DFLer, replaced him. Although Ellison was endorsed by the DFL convention, three non-endorsed candidates ran strong campaigns against him in the DFL primary: Mike Erlandson, Ember Reichgott Junge and Paul Ostrow. Ellison won the primary with 41% of the vote. In the general election, he won with 56% of the vote against Jay Pond of the Green Party, Tammy Lee of the Independence Party and Alan Fine of the Republican Party. Ellison is the first Muslim member of the U.S. Congress, representing the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota.
Let’s look deeper into the cities included in the 5th Congressional District, says Davis White.
The families of the 5th congressional district have been the hardest hit by the mortgage foreclosure crisis in our state. Although, ACORN has partnered with the Minneapolis Urban League, (Congressman Ellison’s office is in the Minneapolis Urban League and his campaign headquarters are above the Denny’s on Lake Street near the Light Rail corridor), the crisis grows. If you follow the money trail, you’ll see that the funding or “grants” that should go directly to homeowners, with qualifications of course, is going to “experts” to consult hard working families losing their dreams and hopes for a future. These experts are, in some instances, former mortgage bankers, lending and credit approval personnel and others who have played both sides of the feast and famine of the real estate game.
The families of Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District are in need of some proactive, aggressive change to turn the tables on poverty, homelessness and hopelessness. For example, our veterans from past and present wars are still suffering. On any given night in Minnesota, there are more than 3,000 homeless veterans. The men and women who served the United States and Minnesota in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines deserve better.

Barb Davis White: A Common Sense Approach to Government
According to the non-partisan Citizens Against Government Waste, Congress rammed 11,160 earmarks totaling $17.2 billion into spending bills during the 2008 fiscal year.
“This year, Congress approved a federal budget with a $685 billion deficit and last year approved a budget with a $450 billion deficit,” said Davis White. “We spend on programs we don’t need, and spend inefficiently on those we do need. My opponent, Congressman Keith Ellison, proposes expanding government on your dime. He advocates a new federal department of peace. Government programs that bloat the system forcing taxpayers work ever longer and harder.”
Recent information from the Heritage Foundation claims that of the $25,117 the US Government redistributes, on average per household, $455 goes to mass transit/highways. “This is grossly inefficient. The dollars flow to Washington, flow back to the states minus administrative costs and with loads of strings attached. Local control and local decision making are side-stepped,” explains Davis White, noting that a common sense approach is to have the state to collect the taxes and determine whether the money should be spend on buses, roads or railways.
Davis White comments that this Congress has witnessed unprecedented hikes in fuel and food prices, and has refused to take action on Social Security. Also this Congress has constructed an incoherent energy policy. Yet Democratic Congressional aspirants threaten to reward this governmental dysfunction by hiking taxes. “We need a different approach: A common sense approach.”
In 2001 and 2003, Congress signed tax cuts which lowered income tax rates, stimulated the economy, aided job creation and increased personal and business investments. These are set to expire if Congress allows. The Death Tax rate, capital gains rate, rate on dividends — all expire. It is unlikely that a congress led by the opposition will approve $1000 tax credit per child, marriage penalty relief, or the tax rate cuts. As a result, Americans will face alarmingly higher taxes at a time when we are also facing high fuel
Barb Davis White is ready to move in the direction of change for your families, wives, husbands, children and grandparents of the 5th congressional district of Minnesota. Her passion, enthusiasm and commitment about changing the course of the current funding streams to help create education, employment, wealth and independence for all people is one that is not new, but sidetracked by the current Democratic machine in the 5th district.
