They say membership has its privileges. I was fortunate to grab a few moments with my pastor, Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III to discuss his new radio show that’s scheduled to start in March on 94.5 K Soul. In Part 1 of this 2 part interview, Dr. Haynes talks about...
By Earnest Gates Could Wisconsin be the new Ohio? Wisconsin’s Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen, is also co-chair for the McCain-Palin campaign in Wisconsin. Sound familiar? After returning from the Republican National Convention, Van Hollen filed a lawsuit that sought to force Wisconsin elected officials to cross-check new voter...
