Yvette Clarke gets a “D”
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007I didn’t vote for Clarke, somehow I am not surprised. A political activist in DC sent me this link.
In the current issue of Black Agenda Report there is an article on the latest report card published by the CBC Monitor.
From the Report Card:
“CBC Monitor is a group of nonpartisan African American activists who insist that the Congressional Black Caucus ought to represent the political will of Black communities, rather than party leaders, campaign contributors or corporate donors. CBC Monitor has partnered with Black Agenda Report at www.blackagendareport.com to produce twice-a-year report cards on the performance of the Congressional Black Caucus from an African American political point of view.”
Clarke was given a D, and ranks among the 5 lowest scores. “Clarke’s offense was not so much in voting wrong, as in failing to show up, having been absent for many of the ten votes on which the current Report Card is based.”
