Roland is celebrating his 41st birthday this weekend and he doesn’t want you to give him a thing. He does however, want you to donate to an organization that is very near and dear to him — The National Association of Black Journalists.
What’s the goal? Get 1,000 people to donate to this notable and respectable organization. You can give $2 or $200 or you donate the “Roland Birthday Special” of $41.
No matter what you give here’s the place to do it.
With some wanting to call the Ft. Hood shooting a terrorist act, Roland asks the question “are we at war with Islam?” Watch what his panel has to say.
TELL US: With two wars in two Muslim countries, is it fair to say our enemy is Islam? Should we categorize any aggression by a Muslim as “terrorism?”
With health care reform moving to the Senate, Roland talks about one of the major obstacles to getting it passed — abortion. Watch what the Washington Watch panel has to say about it.
TELL US: Should abortion be a part of a government-run health care plan? PLEASE ADD YOUR CITY/STATE
Roland read all your comments about his Michael Steele interview on last week’s show and now he’d like to say something IN DEFENSE of Steele and Black folks on the other side of the aisle.
TELL US: Why are Black republicans criticized so harshly in our community?
While many critics have been charaterizing the President’s lengthy deliberation on the Afghanistan war as stalling (namely Vice President Dick Cheney who said Obama was “afraid” to make a decision), former Secretary of State Colin Powell advised Obama to “take his time.”
In an interview with Roland Martin, Powell remarked that the President should not rush to judgment and as any potential decision will have “consequences for years to come.”
Listen to the interview right here
TELL US: Do you think the President is doing the right thing by waiting to make a decision on Afghanistan?
