Thanks

for the coverage on candidate Keyes

I wish to

congratulate you for your article in Friday's Citizen

about Alan Keyes. What you did was courageous,

considering the virtual news blackout, which has

descended upon the Keyes candidacy. Usually, one must

rely upon alternative sources, such as the Internet and

Conservative magazines, to get anything of substance

about this remarkable statesman.

Ambassador Keyes is truly

the only real Conservative candidate this year of either

of the two major parties. Yet his poll numbers remain

low. I believe it is because Dr. Keyes does not fit the

liberal leftwing media's paradigm of how an

African-American candidate should behave. After all, you

can count the prominent blacks who oppose affirmative

action on the fingers of one hand. How many of them

oppose the World Trade Organization if Clinton and Gore

support it? Keyes is also 100% pro-life, which is more

than can be said of Bush and McCain.

Please be assured I tend to

support publications like yours, which display a rare

even-handedness on the issues.
