what fred hampton talked about being reactionary fighting fire with fire. you don't fight fire with fire, you fight fire with water, racism with solidarity. you fight a capitalistic system that uses people as tools, you fight that with a capitalist system that uses -- that sort of turns the equation upside down and uses the economy as an instrument of the people. so anyway, i say that to talk a little bit about sort of who we are, where we are going, and to raise the question whether or not barack obama is this transformative leadership that we need or is it more reactionary and transactional. robert read the first chapter but his grandmother. i'm going to read from the last chapter which is about a young man named lee alexander, south africa, young south african, 28, and he married a young african-american woman from chicago. and he -- this chapter begins basically when barack obama is about to accept denver and there is a crowd of people, about ten people mostly black but not all, some blacks and whites, some arab and we are watching television as barack

my name is fred wright. i am privileged to be the district attorney for the judicial circuit eighth county circuit here in georgia. as district attorney, i'm responsible for all criminal prosecutions in the superior court of baldwin county. the only court that has jurisdiction of all felonies here in milledgeville. the duty of a district attorney is to always seek justice, not merely to convict. when we have solid evidence of a crime and can prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt we do that. just as important, when we cannot prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, we admit it and do not prosecute the crime. as you know, for the last month, the georgia bureau of investigation and the milledgeville police department have been investigating a sexual allegation regarding ben roethlisberger. they have completed their investigation. turned over the reports to my office. which we have reviewed thoroughly. the sexual allegation against mr. roethlisberger cannot be proven beyond a reasonable
