Russell Simmons And Politics

I was browsing BET's web site and came across an interview that Russell Simmons had given.

Most of the civilized world knows who Russell Simmons is. He is a pioneer of hip-hop music, fashion and culture. Mr. Simmons is also an author and a activist. Not to mention wealthy.

So, with all of this information in hand please tell me why Mr. Simmon's has been attempting to reach out to both individuals in the Republican Party and Barak Obama.

Russell Simmons is concerned that the lack of return commication from both party's may be an indication of how the problems of the African-American and poor are going to be handled.

At this point I believe that I agree with Mr. Simmons. Booth party's want the white house but are not prepared to tell us what they will do for us once they are elected.

The Republican and Democratic party's have failed to contact Mr.Simmons. I think that the people who desire to run our nation have forgotten that Mr. Simmons has a large number of the younger voting publics ear.

I would advise both party's to listen to what Russell Simmons has to say.
