Centers of America (OIC). Kemp
also received a warm reception at
the National Urban League convention
in Cleveland last month.
You may wonder, "With all of
this support, why hasn't the
House acted to pass enterprise
zone legislation to help create
jobs?" Unfortunately," the
Lscmocrauc leadership refuses to
let the bill come up for a vote
because the bill's passage would
give Ronald Reagan another victory
during this election year. Tip
O'Neill prefers to play politics
while the inner-city jobless cry
out for a chance to work.
The Speaker of the House of
Representatives is elected on the
first vote cast at the beginning of
, each _9f fonfftftV. Thg
Spcafrff is alUftowerfal?
; decides whether or not bills like
?/ ?
ivemp-uarcia ever come to a
vote.
Each session, Steve Neal has
voted for Tip. Kemp came to the
realization that in order to pass
his legislative agenda, Tip must
go. To remove him, Republicans
who support Kemp's agenda
must be elected and Democrats
must be defeated. And that is
why Kemp was in Winston-Salem
campaigning for Stuart Epperson.
Epperson is well-suited for
building economic bridges to the
black community on the basis of
economic opportunity. From
modest beginnings on a tobacco
farm near Mt. Airy, he worked
his way through school and
became a successful
businessman.
He has further demonstrated
his can-do ability and his com
passion by working with family,
friends and business associates to
found the Rescue Mission in
Winston-Salem to feed the
hungry.
These attributes, combined
with his conservative views on
school prayer and abortion,
should play well in a black comDollar
Days
Operation Fair Share".
The purpose of the dollar days
project is to demonstrate the
NAACP s determination to open
up more jobs and business
opportunities for blacks by
showing merchants just how
much they depend upon black
trade.
Approximately $36 million in
Susan B. Anthony coins and $2
bills were circulated nationwide
during Black Dollar Days last
year, according to the NAACP's
national headquarters. A similar
demonstration was held at the
NAACP's annual convention in
Kansas City, Mo., during July.
Banks there reported more
than $35,000 was converted into
the dollar coins and $2 bills. The
NAACP estimates that the

ist have black
munity with a strong sense of
religious values and a tradition of
politically active ministers.
However, black voters will not
decide on which candidate
deserves support based on school
prayer and the like, regardless of
how much sympathy these issues .
invoke. |
As Kemp has pointed out, support
will SLO to the candidates who
most effectively communicate
their vision of and their plan for
economic opportunity for black
Americans. ^
Epperson is said to be very
convincing one-on-one as he
speaks about common sense in
free market. However, time
limits how many of the
70,000-plus black voters he will
reach in this fashion.
Indeed, his failure to integrate
blacks into decision-making roles
as county coordinators and as
members of his ramnnion ctaff
has hurt his ability to communicate
effectively with the
black community.
The all-white campaign staff is
overwhelmingly Christian fundamentalist
in belief and, as
such, is more likely to emphasize
social issues - issues that will not
impact on who gets black votes.
. A recent example will serve to
illustrate my point. David Flaherty,
the Chairman of the North
Carolina Republican Party, sent
out a fundraising letter this
month which contained
references to the danger of in
V1VWVU VIHWK TUIVI 1^51311 allUlli
Within hours after the letter hit
the street, black staffers with the
Martin for Governor and Cobey
for Congress- committees were
working with their bosses on a
swift repudiation of the tone and

10,000 to 12,000 persons
attending the convention
contributed $3 million to the
city's economy.
Hairston says the local chapter
has no estimate of how successful
the local project was last year.
"The merchants are not going to
tell us how many of these dollars
they collect, but the merchants
will count this money out each
day and they'll know."
The local NAACP official said
that although blacks spend more
S220 million each year locally,
Winston-Salem has no black
restaurants, hotels or taxis.
"This is our way of reminding
white businesses that black
consumers will not be taken for
granted and that they need us
more than we need them,"
Hooks said.

Epperson has not publicly commented
on the letter and his campaign
may not even be aware that
many citizens found it repulsive.
As this election year moves into
the last two months, Epperson
