I Declare the Republican Party - DEAD

I have shown that the main foucus of Jesus' mission was; "to preach 
deliverance unto the captives" "to set at liberty them that are 
bruised." 

St. Paul, the founder of the Christian church we know today, 
apparently saw no evil in the concept of one person owning
another as a piece of property, thus how could he have spread Jesus' 
message?

It was John Fremont, the first Presidental candidate of the 
Republican Party, that wrote the first emancipation of the slaves in 
Missouri, thus forcing Lincoln to author his own, as the Fremont was 
a founder of the Republican party that was abolitionist party. The 
evangelico Right and the Christian Coaltion have taken over the 
Republican Party. Some of their members have admitted they were 
racists after being accused of holding Confederate sentiments. Trent 
Lott admitted he was a racist, who backed the beliefs of Jesse Helms 
who ran for the Senate as a bigot opposing Civil Rights. Lott was a 
huge backer of the Christian-right, as is John Ashcroft who is a neo-
Confederate.

President Bush the Republican candidate, has snubbed the Black vote, 
and Black orinizations, as have the evangelicos who are strong in 
the South, and have their roots there. It was Ralph Reed and Newt 
Gingrich who made the South aware they were predominantly Democrats, 
because they opposed Fremont's Freedom for Slaves party, and they 
should become Republicans exclusively, take over John's party, and 
come in with neo-Confederate ideals disguised as wholesome 
Christianity. Entrenched in Fremont's party, they begin to destroy 
the Civil Rights Movement and Roosevelt's New Deal. Giving back the 
taxes that Southerners have been paying to aid Blacks in this 
society, is nothing more then polling bribes, and is as cynical a 
use of Fremont's party as one can imagine. The Republcian Party and 
its evangelico base have never been against the oppression of Blacks 
in America, and thus I declare the Republcan Party - DEAD! It no 
longer resembles the original party, and is being used to spread 
hatred and religious slavery.

John Freemont married Jesse Benton. My late sister married into the 
Benton family who are Freemasons. I am a Democrat and Theologin that 
is revealing the true nature of Jesus' mission. My Rougemont 
ancestors were theoligns that corrsesonded with the great Erasmus 
who some say is the true founder of the Protestant church. Any 
evangelico minister who belongs to the Republcian party, is a 
hypocrite, and I declare his/her ministry Null and Void.

John Fremont was born in Savanannah, Georgia, on 21st January, 1813. 
Educated at Charleston College, he taught mathematics before joining 
the Army Topographical Engineers Corps in 1838. The following year 
Fremont joined a party led by Joseph N. Nicollet, that surveyed and 
mapped the region between the upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers. 

Fremont surveyed the Des Moines River in 1841. Sponsored by the 
Missouri senator, Thomas Hart Benton, in 1842 Fremont mapped most of 
the Oregon Trail and climbed the second highest peak in the Wind 
River Mountains, afterwards known as Fremont Peak.
In 1843, with Kit Carson and Tom Fitzpatrick as his guides, 
Fremont's party followed the Cache de la Poudre River into the 
Laramie Mountains. He then crossed the Rocky Mountains via the South 
Pass and Green River. He then followed the Bear River until it 
reached the Great Salt Lake. 
After spending time at Fort Hall he followed the Snake River past 
Fort Boise to Fort Vancouver, where he met John McLoughlin. Fremont 
then turned south where he explored Klamath Lake and the Great Basin 
before making a midwinter crossing of the Sierra Nevada mountains 
and despite great hardships reached Sutter Fort. Fremont eventually 
reached St. Louis on 6th August, 1844. 

Fremont made his third expedition in 1845 during which he explored 
the Great Basin and the Pacific coast. While this was taking place 
the Mexican War started. Fremont was given the rank of major in the 
United States Army and helped annex California. Commodore Robert 
Stockton appointed Fremont as governor of California. However, in 
1847 Fremont clashed with General Stephen Kearny and as a result was 
arrested for mutiny and insubordination and was subsequently court-
martialed. President James Polk intervened and Fremont was 
eventually released. 

In the winter of 1848 and 1849 Fremont led an expedition to locate 
passes for a proposed railway line from the upper Rio Grande to 
California. During the Californian Gold Rush gold was discovered on 
his estate and he became a multi-millionaire. 

In 1850 Fremont was elected as senator for California. A strong 
opponent of slavery, Fremont founder member of the Republican Party. 
In 1856 Fremont was chosen as its first presidential candidate and 
although the Democratic Party candidate, James Buchanan, won with 
1,838,169 votes, he did well to obtained the support of 1,335,264 
electors. 

When Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, Fremont was 
expected to be appointed to the Cabinet. Lincoln was reluctant to do 
this and instead proposed that Fremont should be appointed minister 
of France. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, objected, claiming 
that as Fremont had been born in Georgia, he could not be trusted to 
remain loyal during a conflict with the South. 

On the outbreak of the American Civil War Fremont was appointed as a 
Major General in the Union Army and put in command of the newly 
created Western Department based in St. Louis. On 30th August, 1861, 
Freemont proclaimed that all slaves owned by Confederates in 
Missouri were free. Abraham Lincoln was furious when he heard the 
news as he feared that this action would force slave-owners in 
border states to join the Confederate forces. Lincoln asked Fremont 
to modify his order and free only slaves owned by Missourians 
actively working for the South. Fremont refused claiming that "it 
would imply that I myself thought it wrong and that I had acted 
without reflection which the gravity of the point demanded." 

Montgomery Blair, the Postmaster General,who had originally 
supported the appointment of Fremont, now urged Abraham Lincoln to 
sack him. Lincoln responded by sending Simon Cameron, Secretary of 
War, Congressman Elihu Washburne and General Lorenzo Thomas to 
investigate the situation in St. Louis. After they reported back to 
Lincoln he decided to relieve Fremont of his command. He was 
replaced by the conservative General Henry Halleck. 

Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, wrote an open letter 
to Abraham Lincoln defending Fremont and criticizing the president 
for failing to make slavery the dominant issue of the war and 
compromising moral principles for political motives. Lincoln 
famously replied: "My paramount object in this struggle is to save 
the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could 
save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I 
could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it."

Fremont was a popular figure with Radical Republications and in 
March, 1862, Abraham Lincoln agreed to appoint him as the commander 
of the newly established Mountain Department. However, Fremont was 
severely criticized for failing to deal with Thomas Stonewall 
Jackson during his Shenandoah Valley. On 26th June, Freemont's 
troops came under the command of General John Pope. Fremont refused 
to serve under Pope and spent the rest of the war in New York.

In May, 1864 a convention of Radical Republications selected Fremont 
as their candidate for president. Fremont accepted the nomination 
and told the audience: "Today we have in this country the abuses of 
a military dictation without its unity of action and vigor of 
execution." The idea of a radical candidate standing in the election 
worried Abraham Lincoln and negotiations began to persuade him to 
change his mind. Fremont's price was the removal of his old enemy, 
Montgomery Blair, from the Cabinet. On 22nd September, 1864, Fremont 
withdrew from the contest. The following day, Lincoln sacked Blair 
and replaced him with the radical, William Dennison. 

After the American Civil War Fremont became involved in railroad 
financing and building. This was a failure and he lost the fortune 
that he made during the Californian Gold Rush. He returned to 
politics when he became governor of Arizona Territory (1873-83). 

Fremont wrote several books including several about his expeditions 
and his autobiography, Memories of My Life (1887). John Fremont died 
in New York City on July 13, 1890.

(1) Carl Schurz served as an officer under General John Fremont 
during the American Civil War. 

I joined General Fremont's army at Harrisonburg, Virginia, on June 
10th, 1862, and reported myself for duty. At the beginning of the 
Civil War I heard him spoken of in Washington as one of the coming 
heroes of the conflict, in most extravagant terms. I remember 
especially Mr. Montgomery Blair, the Postmaster General in Mr. 
Lincoln's administration, insisting that Mr. Fremont must at once be 
given large and important military command, and predicting that the 
genius and energy of this remarkable man would soon astonish the 
country. Fremont was, indeed, promptly made a major general in the 
regular army, and entrusted with the command of the Department of 
the West, including the State of Illinois and all the country from 
the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains, with headquarters at St. 
Louis. But he sorely disappointed the sanguine expectations of his 
friends. He displayed no genius for organization. Fremont's 
headquarters seemed to have a marked attraction for rascally 
speculators of all sorts, and there was much scandal caused by the 
awarding of profitable contracts of persons of bad repute. 
 
(2) In September, 1861, The New York Post commented on Abraham 
Lincoln's decision to modify John Fremont's order on slaves. 

He (Lincoln) should not allow himself to be outstripped by his 
Cabinet, by Congress, by the Major Generals, and by the people. He 
is the head of the nation, to which it naturally looks for forward 
movements. But in the reluctance with which he signed the 
Confiscation act and in his late modification of Fremont's order, it 
almost appears as if he desired to go backward.
 
(3) Horace Greeley, letter to President Abraham Lincoln (19th 
August, 1862) 

I do not intrude to tell you - for you must know already - that a 
great proportion of those who triumphed in your election, and of all 
who desire the unqualified suppression of the rebellion now 
desolating our country, are solely disappointed and deeply pained by 
the policy you seem to be pursuing with regard to the slaves of the 
Rebels. 

We think you are strangely and disastrously remiss in the discharge 
of your official and imperative duty with regard to the emancipating 
provisions of the new Confiscation Act. Those provisions were 
designed to fight slavery with liberty. They prescribe that men 
loyal to the Union, and willing to shed their blood in the behalf, 
shall no longer be held, with the nation's consent, in bondage to 
persistent, malignant traitors, who for twenty years have been 
plotting and for sixteen months have been fighting to divide and 
destroy our country. Why these traitors should be treated with 
tenderness by you, to the prejudice of the dearest rights of loyal 
men, we cannot conceive. 

Fremont's Proclamation and Hunter's Order favoring emancipation were 
promptly annulled by you; while Halleck's Number Three, forbidding 
fugitives from slavery to Rebels to come within his lines - an order 
as unmilitary as inhuman, and which received the hearty approbation 
of every traitor in America - with scores of like tendency, have 
never provoked even your remonstrance. 
 
(4) President Abraham Lincoln, letter to Horace Greeley (22nd 
August, 1862) 

If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at 
the same time destroy slavery. I do not agree with them. My 
paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not 
either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without 
freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing 
all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some 
and leaving others alone, I would also do that. 
 
(5) Carl Schurz, Autobiography of Carl Schurz (1906) 

Fremont won the favour of advanced and impatient anti-slavery men by 
the issue of an order looking to the emancipation of slaves within 
his department, which Mr. Lincoln found himself obliged to 
countermand, seeing in it an act of military usurpation, and a step 
especially inopportune at a time when the attitude of some of the 
Border States was still undetermined. But it gave Fremont a distinct 
political position and he was given another chance of service at the 
head of the Mountain Department. But in that sphere of action he was 
no more fortunate. He was operating in West Virginia, protecting 
railroads and putting down guerrillas, when the renowned rebel 
general, Stonewall Jackson, made his celebrated raid into the 
Shenandoah Valley, driving Banks before him to the Potomac, and 
apparently threatening to cross that river, and to make an attack 
upon Washington. This, however, Jackson did not attempt, but having 
succeeded in gathering up stores and in disturbing the plans of the 
Washington government, he turned back and rapidly retreated up the 
Shenandoah Valley. Fremont was ordered to intercept, and, with the 
co-operation of Banks' and McDowell's troops, to "bag" him. This 
required some forced marches, which Fremont failed to execute with 
the expected promptness, a failure which excited the dissatisfaction 
of the administration in a marked degree.

Christian group racist, black clergymen say
By Richard Benedetto
USA TODAY 
Eugene Rivers, a black evangelical minister, accused the Christian 
Coalition Tuesday of being a "racist organization" because of its 
nearly all-white membership and what he called its "failure" to 
reach out to black churches. 
The accusation came as a group of 11 white and black evangelical 
leaders held a news conference to offer an alternative voice to the 
increasingly vocal religious right, which they say "does not speak 
for all the faithful." 
"It certainly doesn't speak for 23 million black Christians, nor 
does it speak for all white Christians. It only speaks for itself," 
said Jim Wallis, pastor of Sojourners Community Church in 
Washington, D.C. 
Rivers, pastor of Azusa Christian Community in Boston, said the 
Christian Coalition "has its roots in the same (white) political 
forces that opposed Martin Luther King." 
"It seeks to appeal to a Southern white male base that over the last 
30 years has been hostile to the advances of blacks," Rivers said. 
The charge was immediately denied as "untrue" by coalition spokesman 
Mike Russell, who said his group is continuously reaching out to 
black Christians, and has two black regional coordinators on its 
staff. He could not offer an estimate of black membership other than 
to say it is "small." 
"We're a predominantly white group, that's obvious, but we're 
committed to making inroads into the black community. It's a huge 
area for growth potential for us," Russell said. 
"This particularly egregious attempt to play the race card is 
inappropriate and inaccurate." 
Founded in 1990 by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, the 
Christian Coalition has grown to 1.6 million members, a $25 million 
budget and a muscular presence on Capitol Hill. 
Last week, it unveiled its "Contract With the American Family," a 10-
point legislative package that would allow prayer and religious 
displays in public places, curb pornography, restrict abortion and 
promote school choice. 
The evangelical leaders said they want to take the partisanship out 
of Christian political activity. 
"The alternative to the religious right is not the religious left," 
said Wallis. "We need a politics whose values are more spiritual 
than ideological--a politics rooted in civility, compassion and 
community." 
Wallis said the leaders' views were "welcomed" in meetings later 
with House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., and House Minority Leader 
Richard Gephardt, D-Mo. Gingrich agreed to meet again with the group 
next month.

Christian Coalition settles suit
The Associated Press 
12/30/01 
WASHINGTON - The Christian Coa1ition has settled a racial 
discrimination lawsuit filed by black employees. The suit claimed 
that the workers were denied health benefits and overtime pay, had 
to enter the organization's Washington headquarters by the back door 
and were forced to eat in a segregated area. 
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. "The matter has been 
resolved amicably,' George Dounmr, ~ Washington lawyer who 
represented the employees, said Friday. Downer said he was not 
allowed to make any further comment. 
Ten black women filed the suit in February. They worked in the 
coalition's data-entry and remittance departments, opening mail, 
tabulating donations and entering them into a computer database. The 
women claimed they were subjected to "Jim Crow-style racial 
discrimination," including being told to use the back door because 
Executive Director Roberta Combs didn't want "important people' 
seeing them in the reception area. 
They also said they were forced to use a segregated break room and 
were excluded from the coalition Christmas party and events related 
to President Bush's inauguration. They later filed an amended 
complaint alleging that the coalition retaliated against them for 
bringing the suit. Five more employees joined the amended suit, 
including a white man who said he was fired because hp refused to 
spy on his black co-workers. 
In July, U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina ruled that the 
employees had shown they were likely to prevail in the case and 
issued an injunction ordering the coalition not to retaliate against 
them. Combs was unavailable for comment Friday. She had previously 
denied the workers' allegations, characterizing the lawsuit as an 
attempt to embarrass and extort money from the coalition. The 
settlement comes three weeks after founder Pat Robertson resigned 
from the grass-roots religious lobby, saying he was getting out of 
politics to concentrate on his Virginia Beach-based broadcast 
ministry and Christian university.
