I’m different from the other white people who seek the GOP nomination for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District in the June 2 primary. I believe we have to return to the original values of the Republican Party 1/13

The Republican Party held values that emphasized racial equality and justice. President Lincoln sought to keep the country together despite the wickedness that had been built into our nation’s structure in The Constitution. 2/13

Other Republican candidates brag about their high ratings w/the NRA & their devotion to The 2nd Amendment. Are any of my opponents familiar with a group that sought to protect members of its community via The 2nd Amendment? 3/13

Mid-1960s: African-Americans in Oakland CA feared the (mostly white) police. Young black males especially were being killed. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale decided to use the 2nd Amendment. They bought copies of a book for 25 cents and sold them for $1. 4/13

The book: “Quotations from Chairman Mao.” The market: the U Cal-Berkeley campus. They used the profits to purchase shotguns. They formed the Black Panther Self-defense Party to act as a force for protection of their community. 5/13

Newton & a lot of the other members of the Black Panther Self-defense Party were gunned down. The NRA seemed strangely silent. Today people riot because of actions of violence committed by white law enforcement against African-Americans. 6/13
