Who bankrolls Jesse Jackson?
Dear Reader,
Who bankrolls Jesse Jackson?
The answer might surprise you. By and large, it is not African-Americans.
It is Corporate America.
Yes, the checks are written by corporate executives — who are mostly rich and white.
I am writing to ask for your help.

RACE HUSTLER'S REAL CONSTITUENCY
Big companies support Jackson and his organization, Rainbow/PUSH.
They include Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, Boeing, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, Comcast, Ford, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, GE, PepsiCo, and Shell.
These companies make five and six figure donations.
Every time you buy their products or do business with them, you are subsidizing this hustler.
Earlier this month, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made major donations, even as they were melting down!
This situation will continue until there is a response by customers and shareholders like you and me.
With your help, we will show corporate executives that they will pay a price for caving in to Jackson.
Click here to help us go after these companies.
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE CUTS OFF JACKSON
In 2002, we targeted the NYSE. Disgraced NYSE Chairman Richard Grasso lavished hundreds of thousands of dollars on Jackson. He lent NYSE prestige to Jackson's "Wall Street Conference" by sponsoring the event, and speaking at it.
We kept on the pressure for three years.
In 2005, the media confirmed that the NYSE had ended support of Jackson's groups as a result of NLPC protests.
Since that time, Jackson has desperately tried to get the NYSE support reinstated but he has been thwarted.
We are now going after individual companies.
Please consider a tax-deductible gift today in support of this effort.
CONFRONTING CORPORATE AMERICA
In 2006 and 2007, we sponsored shareholder proposals with Jackson's major corporate supporters. I attacked their support for this demagogue directly to the CEOs, with their boards and many shareholders looking on.
Last year, I spoke before 18,000 people at the Wal-Mart annual meeting in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I was put up on a big screen in the Bud Walton Arena.
I explained that how, under attack from Jesse Jackson, Wal-Mart had put a Jackson crony named Christopher Williams on its board of directors. I said, "Did that shut up Jackson? No, not at all."
This spring, we sponsored shareholder proposals at Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, GE and United Airlines.
Jesse Jackson's recent attack on Barack Obama provides us with an opportunity. Jesse Jackson now comes off as bitter and jealous. Let's press the advantage while it exists!
JESSE JACKSON HAS NO CLOTHES
I think that the executives who "play ball" with Jesse Jackson know exactly what they are dealing with: a racial extortionist whose real agenda is not civil rights, but his own enrichment.
The emperor of "racial justice" has no clothes.
Most Americans fully understand what Jackson is up to, including most African-Americans.
Our goal is nothing short of ending all corporate support for Jesse Jackson.
Your gift today will help us build on extensive actions to date.
NLPC is the only organization that regularly monitors and documents the statements and actions of Jesse Jackson.
I have been a guest 11 times on The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel to discuss Jesse Jackson!
We are in this fight for the long term.
WHAT IS NLPC?
Founded in 1993, our mission is to promote ethics in public life. We have a track record of accomplishment:
- 1993- NLPC successfully sued Hillary Rodham Clinton's secret health care task force to open its meetings and records. In their recent books, both Hillary and former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal acknowledged NLPC's role in sinking her plan.
- 1996- Liberal FDA Commissioner David Kessler resigned soon after NLPC secured documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) showing that he overbilled his expense reimbursements.
- 2003- NLPC exposed the Boeing Tanker Deal Scandal, eventually sending two Boeing executives to jail, and saving taxpayers $4-5 billion, and perhaps a lot more.
- 2005- Two PACs associated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) were fined $21,000 as a result of a FEC Complaint.
- 2006- We exposed the earmarking scandal involving Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV), and triggered an ongoing FBI investigation. Mollohan resigned as ranking Democrat on the House Ethics Committee.
- 2007- Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Liberal Republican from Alaska, sold back land she had bought in a "sweetheart" deal a day after NLPC filed a Complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee.
- 2008- This week we filed a Complaint with the FEC against Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY). He was exposed as having four rent-controlled apartments in Harlem, one of which he illegally used for a campaign office.
In short, NLPC gets results! Through these successes, we have also built credibility.
We must now turn our experience and skills to exposing and stopping corporate America's support for Jesse Jackson.
PLEASE, WON'T YOU HELP?
I refuse to join the political establishment and accept Jackson as a legitimate religious or political figure. You do not have to, either.
Please make a tax-deductible gift by clicking here.
Most Americans are unaware that Jesse Jackson is bankrolled by corporate America. Your gift will allow us to expose and put an end to this shakedown.
Sincerely,
Peter Flaherty
President

A world without American power?
By Thomas L Friedman
Perfect we are not, we admit, but America still has some moral backbone.
Much ink has been spilled lately decrying the decline in American popularity around the world under President George W Bush. Polls tell us how China is now more popular in Asia than America and how few Europeans say they identify with the United States. I am sure there is truth to these polls. We should have done better in Iraq. An America that presides over Abu Ghraib, torture and Guantanamo Bay deserves a thumbs-down.
But America is not and never has been just about those things, which is why I also find some of these poll results self-indulgent, knee-jerk and borderline silly. Friday’s vote at the UN on Zimbabwe reminded me why. Maybe Asians, Europeans, Latin Americans and Africans don’t like a world of too much American power – “Mr Big” got a little too big for them. But how would they like a world of too little American power? With America’s overextended military and overextended banks, that is the world into which we may be heading.
Welcome to a world of too much Russian and Chinese power. I am neither a Russia-basher nor a China-basher. But there was something truly filthy about Russia’s and China’s vetoes of the American-led UN Security Council effort to impose targeted sanctions on Robert Mugabe’s ruling clique in Zimbabwe.
The US put forward a simple Security Council resolution, calling for an arms embargo on Zimbabwe, the appointment of a UN mediator, plus travel and financial restrictions on the dictator Mugabe and 13 top military and government officials for stealing the Zimbabwe election and essentially mugging an entire country in broad daylight.
In the first round of elections, on March 29, the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, won nearly 48 per cent of the vote compared with 42 per cent for Mugabe. This prompted Mugabe and his henchmen to begin a campaign of killing and intimidation against Tsvangirai supporters that eventually forced the opposition to pull out of the second-round runoff vote just to stay alive.
Even before the runoff, Mugabe declared that he would disregard the results if his ZANU-PF party lost.
And so, of course, Mugabe “won” in one of the most blatantly stolen elections ever – in a country already mired in misrule, unemployment, hunger and inflation. Some 25 per cent of Zimbabwe’s people have now taken refuge in neighboring states. The Associated Press reported in May from Zimbabwe “that annual inflation rose this month to 1,063,572 per cent, based on prices of a basket of basic foodstuffs.” Zimbabwe’s currency has become so devalued, the AP explained, that “a loaf of bread now costs what 12 new cars did a decade ago.”
No matter. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s UN ambassador, argued that the targeted sanctions that the US and others wanted to impose on Mugabe’s clique exceeded the Security Council’s mandate. Mugabe’s campaign of murder and intimidation didn’t strike Churkin as “illegitimate and dangerous”, only the UN resolution to bring a halt to it was “illegitimate and dangerous.”
But when it comes to pure, rancid moral corruption, no one can top South Africa’s president, Thabo Mbeki, and his stooge at the UN, Dumisani Kumalo. They have done everything they can to prevent any meaningful UN pressure on the Mugabe dictatorship.
So let us now coin the Mbeki Rule: When whites persecute blacks, no amount of UN sanctions is too much. And when blacks persecute blacks, any amount of UN sanctions is too much. Which brings me back to America. Perfect we are not, but America still has some moral backbone. There are travesties we will not tolerate. The UN vote on Zimbabwe demonstrates that this is not true for these “popular” countries – called Russia or China or South Africa – who have no problem siding with a man who is pulverising his own people.
So, yes, we’re not so popular in Europe and Asia anymore. I guess they would prefer a world in which America was weaker, where leaders with the values of Vladimir Putin and Thabo Mbeki had a greater say, and where the desperate voices for change in Zimbabwe would, well, just shut up....

America can do it!
Find oil NOW!
DIG everywhere!
Did you know:
In her usual demure style, Ann Coulter comes out blazing today against Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in response to their energy plan.
Writes Coulter: "Announcing the Democrats' bold new 'plan' on energy last week, Pelosi said breaking into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve 'is one alternative.' That's not an energy plan. It's using what we already have – much like 'conservation,' which is also part of the Democrats' plan.
"Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: 'Just eat a little less every day.' Great! We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a 'plan.' We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death."
Says Coulter of the Democrats: "They don't want drilling. They don't want more oil. They want humans to ride bicycles and then to die."
