Republican Presidential Candidate Jack Shepard witnesses Racism against persons of color at Democratic Global Convention 2000
|

I, have chosen to be a Born Again Republican;
because I was very disappointed that not one of the
Black Delegates at the Democrats Aboard Regional
Caucuses and Global Convention in Paris, April,
2000 was chosen to be a delegate to the Democratic
National Convention in Los Angeles in August of
2000.
I and another delegate from Democrats Aboard of
Italy wished to vote for Ricki Stevenson pictured
above talking with me during a break; but the
leadership of the Democrats Aboard convention had
already made a deal with I was not consulted or
included in.
We were hands a list of people from various countries
to vote for. The next night at the farewell dinner I
apologized to Ricki for being forced to vote for a list
of candidates that I did not even know. The Black
Delegates were really in shock. They asked how
could it be; that not one Black Delegate from all the
American Democrats living Aboard, in all the
countries of the World and not one was chosen.
That why I became a " Born Again Republican"

Dr. JACK SHEPARD AS A BORN AGAIN REPUBLICAN
During the Presidential Election all I heard from the Democratic National Committee was:
"THE URGENT NECESSITY OF CAMPAIGN FINANCING LEGISLATION REFORM"
and now the Democratic Party chooses as its new chairman the very symbol of soft money campaign fund
raisers in Mr. Terence McAuliffe.
The members of the Democratic Committee literally forced former Mayor Maynard Jackson of Atlanta who
also wished to be Democratic National Chairman to throw his support to Mr. Terence McAuliffe by blocking his
election.
Mr. Terence McAuliffe was chosen Chairman of the Democratic Committee only because he knows where and
how to get money instead of former Mayor Maynard Jackson a much more qualified and experienced politician
but a
BLACK CANDIDATE
without these big money connections.
I, Jack Shepard was an elected delegate from "Democrats aboard of Italy to the Democrats Aboard Regional
Caucuses and Global Convention in Paris on April 2, 200


CANDIDATE JACK SHEPARD LISTENING TO
RICKI STEVENSON;
A DEMOCRAT ABOARD DELEGATE LIVING IN
FRANCE EXPLAIN THE HISTORY OF THE
STATUTE OF LIBERTY, DURING A COFFEE BREAK
AT THE DEMOCRATS ABOARD REGIONAL
CAUCUSES AND GLOBAL CONVENTION IN PARIS,
APRIL 2, 2000.
I was very impressed with Ricki's knowledge of Black
History and Paris. Ricki Stevenson is the director of
"Black Paris Tours" My fellow Democrats if you are in
Paris, I would highly recommend a tour of Paris with;
"Black Paris Tours".
Just email Ricki Stevenson,
"Black Paris Tours"

I, Dr. Jack Shepard am not pleased and I do not approve
of the Democratic National Committee's position to
continue to criticize George W. Bush's election as the
43rd President of the United States as illegitimate.
Mr. McAuliffe was elected as Chairman of the
Democratic National committee only because he is a
close friend of Ex-President Clinton and the most prolific
fundraiser in Democratic history.
This sends all the wrong signals to my fellow Americans.
DR. JACK SHEPARD'S STATEMENTS
I can be quoted as saying, "I and the Democratic Party should not take the BLACK vote for grant it. I was very disappointed that not one of the Black Delegates at the Democratic Aboard Regional Caucuses and Global Convention in Paris got chosen to be a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles in August.
Because of encountering overt racism at the higher levels of the Democratic Party at the Democratic Aboard Regional Caucuses and Global Convention; I was so disappointed that not one of the Black Delegate from Democratics Aboard from any country got chosen to be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles;
I left the Democratic Party. To join the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln and I became a "Born again Republicain"
Now that the election in over I fell much freer to discussion what happened to another delegate and myself from Democrats Aboard of Italy. We both wished to vote for Mrs. Ricki Stevenson, a Black Democrat Aboard delegate from France; to be a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles in August.

We were told the deal was already made. The delegates to the Democratic National Convention were already decided for us (before the vote) and if we did not vote for the list of candidate handed us we would never be chosen again to represent "Democrats Aboard of Italy" to any future Democrats Aboard Regional Caucuses and Global Convention. I apologized to Mrs. Stevenson after the vote when she was not chosen.
That I and another delegate from "Democrats Aboard of Italy" were forced by the Democratic Leaders of the Global Convention and Regional Caucus to vote their candidates really started me think what has the Democratic Party become.
After my personal experiences with the selection process now used in the Democratic Party I find it no surprise that former Mayor Maynard Jackson a BLACK candidate for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee was forced to threw his support to Mr. Terence McAuliffe.
I consider Mr. Terence McAuliffe a hypocrite when he, Mr. Terence McAuliffe, "bluntly challenged the legitimacy of President George W. Bush's election and pledged to turn Democratic grievance over the results into a mobilizing force to win Congress next year and the White House in 2004."

I, Jack Shepard ask Mr. Terence McAuliffe when he says, "We will prove there is victory after denial" how do Mrs. Ricki Stevenson and former Mayor Maynard Jackson of Atlanta feel when they and many other
BLACKS are know being denied and passed by for important position the Democratic Party.
Why does not Mr. Terence McAuliffe understand and conclude that the public wants to move past the ill will over the post-election maneuvering that settled the election. He and the Democratic Party must start to work with President Bush to unite our country and enable President Bush to be an effective leader especially with the very confusing and dangerous situation in the Middle East that President Clinton left for President Bush.
Now is the time to work together and pool all our energies and resources to work for world peace.
I have been working and praying for peace in the Middle East and Europe for over 30 years.
God bless you,
Dr. Jack Shepard - Febuary 11, 2006
