Sen. Diane Black's race problem...

The Sumner County Democratic Party asks for the immediate resignation of Senator Diane Black’s Executive Assistant, Sherri Goforth, who recently admitted to sending a racist email from her state-provided email account to the “wrong list of recipients” in violation of state conduct policies.
In addition, we require full accountability from Senator Diane Black, our elected official, for the following questions:
Since her assistant’s half-hearted apology for this outrageous act was to claim to have sent the email to the “wrong list,” who is on the “right list?”
Is it acceptable practice in the Tennessee Legislature for Republican law-makers or their staff to engage in racist and dishonorable activities as long as they keep it among themselves?
And lastly, how will Senator Black’s constituents, yes even those of color, even those of another political affiliation, know that their concerns are being heard when the very gate-keeper of their Senator’s office finds a picture of the President of the United States represented as a “spook” to be so humorous that it should be forwarded by email to her colleagues and associates?
Senator Diane Black should address these questions quickly and publicly if she is to restore the confidence that We the People have lost in her. And unless she demands her Executive Assistant’s resignation, we will know her words are hollow.
We invite the Sumner County Republican Party to join us in condemning this sort of bigotry and stereo-typing that so frequently flies under the cover of humor, yet damages our communities, our economic prosperity, and our American Spirit.

News: Statement on Dr. George Tiller

The Sumner County Democratic Party wishes to send condolences to the family, friends, and patients of Dr George Tiller, who was gunned down in the sanctuary of his church home the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas on Sunday morning. Dr. Tiller was murdered because as part of the comprehensive medical care he provided, he also granted access to safe, legal abortions.
The Sumner County Democratic Party strongly condemns this murder and the network of hatred and ignorance that encouraged it. We strongly condemn the concept of "justifiable murder" that permeates certain cells of our culture.
We invite other community leaders to join us in condemning this act and extending our sympathies to Dr Tiller's family. We seek dialogue within our own membership and with other members of the community at large to find common ground that will reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in America, and thereby reduce the number of abortions.
We do not believe that the brutal murder of one man does anything to accomplish the goal of reducing abortions in our country, but does much to promote lawlessness and disrespect for our society's values. If we are to remain a safe and law-abiding community, our leaders must join together to pursue understanding and knowledge, not move to inflame the already polarized viewpoints around this most personal, difficult, and tender issue.
Another blood-stained church protects neither the born nor the unborn children of this world.
