NAACP President: conflict of interest?

Hat tip: Marvin Perkins, www.BlacksInTheScriptures.com "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing":

The Black community is overwhelmingly in support of YES ON 8. The NAACP President came out against it. Like the CA Teachers Union speaking against without consulting the teachers, Alice Huffman, NAACP President did the same thing, and we just found out why.

Alice Huffman, President of NAACP owns a company by the name of A C Public Affairs Inc. This company was paid over $198,000. by the No on 8 campaign. This might explain the disconnect between the African American community who supports 8 and the NAACP's coming out against it. We found this information on the CA Secretary of State's Web site:

10/02/2008: A C PUBLIC AFFAIRS, INC (ACPA) CAMPAIGN CONSULTANTS
$100,000.00

10/14/2008: A C PUBLIC AFFAIRS, INC (ACPA) CAMPAIGN CONSULTANTS
$98,033.00


Alice Huffman's Company - A C Public Affairs Inc.

How can you stand up against this?

  • Send this info to everyone you know in CA
  • Call all local media in your areas, TV, newspaper and radio and ask them are they aware of this
  • Call in to talk radio shows to share this news
  • Flood the local NAACP chapter presidents in your city with calls and ask if they have received funds from the $198,000. that was paid to Janice Huffman's company by the No campaign (responses should be reported to the local media) CA NAACP phone numbers: http://californianaacp.org/local/
  • Have any member of the NAACP call their chapter to express outrage over this payoff and demand their membership dues be returned
  • Pass out the attached fliers to African American, Latino and other congregations this Sunday, in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean etc.
  • Call Rev. Amos Brown President of the SF Branch, who is extremely upset over the money, especially since the local chapters are suffering. Ask him did he receive any part of the $198,033: (415) 922-0650

Also, as previously blogged, Marvin Perkins was interviewed - and heavily edited - on CNN. Here's what CNN chose to leave out:
