from fiscal conservatives due to this Bill’s impacts on

              the national debt.

            With  Reverend  King’s  leadership,  the  legislative

            initiatives  that  were  brought  forward  during  this  time
            each  received  bipartisan  support.  It  is  interesting  that

            GOP  congressman  enthusiastically  supported  each  Bill.
            With  exception  of  the  costly  Urban  Development  Act,

            GOP  Congressmen  were  the  key  proponents  that
            enabled  the  passage  of  the  landmark  Civil  Rights  Bills
            that stand today.  They backed these Bills with 80-90%

            affirmative  votes.  Given  the  GOP  history  as  the
            Abolitionist  Party,  and  given  their  decisive  support  of

            this watershed Civil Rights legislation, the GOP is often
            unfairly  disparaged.  We  will  explore  the  deceptions  of

            why  and  how  this  is  now  occurring  in  subsequent
            discussions.


            Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Greatness
            What set this exceptional man apart from all others over

            generations? His lifework upheld GOD’s plan to establish
            the  essential  dignity  and  rights  of  all  humanity.    He

            offered  the  only  real  and  lasting  solution  to  human
            strife.  His  precepts  were  solidly  anchored  in  Biblical

            principles  and  on  the  solid  foundations  of  the  US
            Constitution. His famous “I have a Dream” speech was

            and  is  a  beautiful  summation  that  embodies  all  that
