www.finalcall.com

Whenever presidential ratings dip into the 30's as George Bush's has then we know that his own Republicans are sick and tired of him. We heard Pat Buchanan come close to saying that Bush needs to be impeached in a debate on CSPAN this weekend with former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.

The voters in all parties throughout our nation can see that Bush is the worst president in US history as revealed by the most recent polls. Full Story.............

Founder’s Day at Muhammad Farms

Over 200 guests visited Muhammad Farms on Saturday, July 7th to help us celebrate the 77th anniversary of Master Fard Muhammad making Himself and His Mission known on July 4, 1930 in Detroit, Mich.

The Republicans, both in Washington, DC, and in Atlanta, hate the poor, the elderly, and the African American. As I was thinking about this column, I went online to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary site to look up the work “compassion.” Here’s the definition: “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.”  Full Story.........
 

Bring this war to an end

By U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.)

I want to commend the Black community for its progressive stance on the war in Iraq. I am proud to say that, in this instance, we served as the conscience of America, leading national questioning about the validity of this war. Full Story...............
