Steele on The Ehrlich Administration: We Are The Fulfillment of MLK Jr.’s Dream

Yesterday, we wrote about how Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich held a $100,000 fundraiser at an all-white country club. Neither Ehrlich nor Lt. Gov. Michael Steele think it was a big deal.

When Ehrlich and Steele where sworn in on January 15, 2003, here is what Steele had to say:

Forty years ago, Martin Luther King had a dream. How fitting today we celebrate not only the inauguration of a new era, but the birthday of a man who dreamed this day would come.

Email Bob Ehrlich and Michael Steele and ask them if, in light of their commitment to Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, they will continue to support institutions that practice racial discrimination.

Now to write Erlich and Steele. This matter deserves all the heat and outrage we can muster. Let’s get it on.

Just sent an e-mail to Lt. Gov. Steele. Doubt I’ll get a response (is there an echo in here?) aside from a typical “thank you for your response” form letter, but the more voices speak up, the less they can be ignored. Thanks for posting the addresses.

I don’t think the Govenor should be going to any club that won’t allow colord folks.
