Do The Right Thing - Observations from Mark Block

During Roy Innis’s two days in Wisconsin he repeatly referred to the goodness in the American people. He sincerely feels - and so do I - that we all want to Do The Right Thing.

He spoke of a movie The Long Walk Home that depicted what he lived with in the civil rights movement. The fact was that people in the south did not believe in segregation, Jim Crow laws, the actions of the Klu Klux Klan but did not speak out because they felt that was not The Right Thing To Do.

He related this experience to what we are living with today with the environmental extremist claiming the world is coming to an end because of global warming. He feels that once the good people of America - he calls them the common folk - learn the truth that they will Do The Right Thing and demand the elected officals examine the consequences of their actions. The fact is the common folk are the ones that will bear the brunt of the economic policies that may be forthcoming with the one sided debate of Global Warming.

He knows the good folk will Do The Right Thing - if they know what The Right Thing is.

That’s our job.

This is the begining of a journey into the blog world.

What prompted this was the continued drum beat of liberals and conservatives that don’t seem to want to do the right thing.

I just spent two day with Roy Innis. Mr. Innis is 74 years old and the national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality.

He came to Wisconsin on behalf of Americans for Prosperity to discuss the hysteria surrounding the Global Warming issue.

In all of his meeting he continued to tell his audiences - The American People Are Good People and Want to Do The Right Thing - If Only They Know What The Right Thing Is.

Our mission is to educate them on what we believe the right thing is. They may or may not agree. But if they only get one side of a story they will not have the facts to Do the right thing.

Thats our job.
