Well after four months Barack Obama responded to a WAOD reader's email about the Dunbar Village crime against humanity. Here is what Senator Obama had to say. It speaks for itself.

Dear ***:
Thank you for sharing with me your concerns about sex offenders and sexual predators. I appreciate hearing from you.
Protecting our children from sexual abuse should be a high national priority. That is why I cosponsored "Dru's Law" ( S.792) in my first year as a U.S. Senator, which creates a public Nationwide Sex Offender Registry, searchable by zip code for all offenders in an area, regardless of state lines. Also, because our current system is unable to adequately track offenders who move from state to state, Dru's Law requires the notification of state prosecutors upon the release of a high-risk offender who has served a full sentence. Additionally, released offenders would be tracked and monitored for at least one year through electronic bracelet, monitoring by a parole officer, or other appropriate means. I am pleased to report that Dru's Law was incorporated into the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act and was signed into law in July of 2006.
I also cosponsored the Sex Offender Registration Act (S.1086), which passed out of the Senate by unanimous consent. The Sex Offender Registration Act will strengthen the tracking and registering of sex offenders by ensuring that state law enforcement agencies have the proper resources to effectively manage sex offender information.
Unfortunately, online social networks have given sexual offenders a new outlet through which to victimize children. This year, I am a proud cosponsor of the "KIDS" Act (S.431), which requires convicted sex offenders to provide any electronic mail address, instant message address or similar identifier for the inclusion in the National Sex Offender Registry. With the passage of this bill, social networking websites would be permitted to access a secure system managed by the Attorney General and compare their database of users against the list of internet identifiers in the National Sex Offender Registry. It also establishes criminal penalties for age misrepresentatiton in connection with the online sexual solicitation of a minor. I hope Congress will take timely action on this legislation.
Again, ***, thank you for writing. As your U.S. Senator and a father of two young daughters, I assure you that protecting our nation's children is constantly on my mind.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator

Well, we asked for a response and his office provided one. So PLEASE spare me the "Black folks will be better off under an Obama administration" talk. The staff of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel can issue form letters just as efficiently as Barack Obama's staff.
Read about our earlier attempts to get African American leaders to speak out publicly about Dunbar Village:
- Dunbar Village - RAZE IT TO THE GROUND AND SALT THE EARTH SO THAT NOTHING WILL GROW THERE! - How to Help.- Where in the World are the Rev's?
- August 7, 2007 - National Day of SHAME- Black Leaders' Silence is Immoral- Call them on their CRAP!
- Maybe Black Women Should Be Pit Bulls in Our Next Life ---The Hypocrisy of Russell Simmons and Rev. Al
- The List of Immoral Indifference is Growing - Obama Aides Give Conflicting info-Didn't know?
In the Interest of FAIRNESS, Let's Ask The Republicans What They Think
Just to be FAIR, lets see what, if anything, some other folks have to say about Dunbar Village and other horrific crimes committed against Black women and children in this country and what they as President of the United States would do to a) combat these crimes, b) raise awareness, and c) force broadcast media organizations (the ones using the airwaves paid for by my tax dollars) to provide transparency into how they make the decision regarding which missing and murdered women and children to feature on their stations.

When you get a response, forward it to me and I will post it on the blog. First reader to respond back with a written response from more than five of these candidates wins a free copy of Bill Cosby's “Come On People.” I'm generous like that.
