Jesse Jackson was Welcomed to our World. Like a great maestro leading his orchestra, Rev. Jesse Jackson led his audience with his battle cry: I am somebody, I am somebody . . . Down with dope, up with hope. Jackson was in Charlotte as part of a tour in North Carolina to urge blacks to vote on election day and specifically to endorse Bertha Maxwell for the N.C. House of Representatives. While encouraging blacks to vote Jackson said, Our 10 million votes will determine the outcome of the election. Jackson says, You are involved in politics whether you vote or not. When you are born you are issued a birth certificate without any effort on your part, and when you die you will be issued a death certificate without your asking for it, so you are in the political process whether you like it or not. When talking about the Presidential candidates, Jackson commented, You have two and a half candidates to choose from. He called John Anderson the half candidate because he did not win any primaries and was not nominated by a convention. On Ronald Reagan, Jackson cautioned blacks by saying, Do not shop in Reagan ' s political supermarket. He says that Reagan practices Macho Politics and that his foreign policy would definitely put the United States in a war. Jackson endorses President Carter saying that he is the most viable candidate and has the foreign policy that would reduce the likelihood of war. He also said that Carter is not responsible for the nations economic problems. He blamed corporate bosses for getting cheap labors oversea instead of paying workers on our country decent wages. Jackson came up with some imaginative ways to get all young blacks registered to vote. He says that upon high school graduation each graduate should receive a diploma and a voter registration card as a basic requirement. To spur blacks on to achieve the highest goal, Jackson says, It is not your Aptitude, but your Attitude, that determines your Altitude. -Robert Williams
