Congressman Austin Scott Dares to Call it Discrimination

Watch my video commentary. Only 3 minutes and it adds so much more than reading the text. 

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck. 8th District Congressman Austin Scott dared to call out discrimination in the $1.9 trillion so-called Covid relief bill. He wrote an editorial entitled, “Woke Coke Wants Reparations, and Biden’s COVID Relief Bill Delivers Them.”

Bills in Congress usually have deceptive titles. “The American Rescue Act of 2021” is no exception. A more accurate name would be, Continue reading

Yeah, I Said That

Honorable Brian Kemp, Governor
206 Washington Street
Suite 203, State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30334

December 19, 2020

Dear Governor Kemp,

Call a special session of the Georgia Legislature. Since November 3, we have heard repeatedly “there is no credible evidence” of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election.

What is the basis for that statement? Has there been a court case that actually ruled on the factual claims? Continue reading

Fighting Against His District

Why did the Congressman from the 2nd District fight against an Historically Black University, which is also one of only two Land Grant Universities in the State of Georgia, and in his own Congressional District? Maybe because he has received nearly $1 million dollars from organizations in Washington, DC?

In this 2 minute video, I point out how so out of touch the incumbent is with his district that Sellout Sanford fought against an opportunity to get jobs for Peach County and Middle Georgia at Fort Valley State University.

It is time for a change. It is past time. It is WAAAAAAY Past Time!

Why Did Our Congressman Fight Against His Own District and Fort Valley State University?

You Must Choose – For Black Traditional Democrat Voters

As I am out and around the 2nd District, one common question I hear is, “How are you going to win Albany and Columbus?” The real question being asked is, “How are you going to sway the black traditional Democrat voter?”

My answer is that I focus on the deep common values in our faith, our hopes and our dreams. I draw the contrast between the Democrats and Sanford Bishop and the values we hold.

I draw the striking contrast between the abysmal failure of the Obama agenda and the skyrocketing success of the Trump agenda for the black population. I focus on issues such as life, economic opportunity, jobs, taxes, growing wealth, illegal immigration, and the criminal justice reforms that President Trump and Republicans put into law.

I point out these striking contrasts and issue a simple challenge, “You must choose.” Now I am asking you to help me share these messages.

Message for the Black Traditional Democrat on Right to Life

******************************************

It hangs on the wall of a home you know, perhaps your own. It is a simple sign with the words from Joshua, “Choose you this day whom you will serve…. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)

Picture that sign hanging on the wall in that familiar place. Remember the smell of dinner on the table. Remember seeing your grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, mother, or father, sitting by the light reading from the Bible and preparing a Sunday School lesson.

Now, today, I ask you to let those words of Joshua ring in your ears as if you were standing there as he delivered God’s message. “Choose you this day.”

Over the past half century at least, most black voters have voted for candidates in the Democrat party. That path has become ingrained and traditional. There is something, though, that is beginning to make you uneasy about that path.

Your values are established on the foundation of the truth you learned from your family, your church, and your own prayer and study of the Bible. It is not merely tradition, it is truth.

Now you are noticing the striking contrast between the path of Democrats and the values that you learned in Sunday School and Church. Sanford Bishop and the Democrat party promote an agenda that directly contradicts your deeply held values.

Sanford Bishop has a 100% approval rating by Planned Parenthood and a 0% rating by the National Right to Life. In New York City, 60% of black babies die by abortion.

Republicans pushed the Fetal Pain Abortion bill to put an end to the torturous, barbarous, killing of babies in the womb. Babies can feel the stabbing, slashing, ripping of limbs from their bodies until the only end to their suffering and indescribable pain is death. Sanford Bishop fought against that bill – yes, he fought it!

We were shocked when we watched the video tapes of a Planned Parenthood executive dining in luxury. As she calmly ate dinner she callously talked about harvesting the body parts from the babies they killed. In between sips of wine, she described how, if they used just the right method with just the right timing, they could harvest the most organs.

My God, she is talking about a baby!

Republicans reacted with legislation to completely cut off all federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Sanford Bishop fought it.

There is a reason that Planned Parenthood gives Sanford Bishop a 100% rating. There is also a reason that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was so popular with the KKK.

The words of Joshua, “Choose you this day” keep ringing in your ears. You may desperately want to change the subject. The gnawing, clawing, burning bright light of truth floods every corner of your thinking. You realize that you can no longer avoid the issue.

Democrats presume that you will vote for them because that is what they expect you to do. Sometimes, they do not even bother to ask for your vote.

In November, you will enter the voting booth. This is your vote and yours alone. Your vote does not belong to Sanford Bishop, Stacy Abrams, or the Democrat Party.

Your vote belongs to you. As you stand in the voting booth, you stand at that point of decision. You must “choose you this day.”

In the race for US House of Representatives, you will see Don Cole on the ballot. I am the only one who will stand for the deeply held values that we share.

I am the only one who will stand for life. I am the only one who will stand for the people of the 2nd District and stand against the racist agenda of Planned Parenthood.

There is a clear and stark choice between the faith and family values that you deeply hold and the destructive agenda of the Democrats.

On one side is the crystal clear truth of faith, freedom, family values, and your future. On the other side are the Democrats who presume upon your vote and pursue policies that lead to collapse and ruin.

This is one of those critical points in your life. Today and on election day in the voting booth, you stand at the crossroads.

The words of Joshua roll through your mind like thunder. “Choose you this day.” You must choose.

******************************************

That’s my message on the Right to Life for the black traditional Democrat voter. It has an impact and will make a difference. 

I must get this message to the black community. As important as sharing on social media is, and I want you to do that, I am not talking about merely sharing this on social media.

Now, I am calling on you, as one of my readers, to choose to financially support my campaign. We are under assault as a nation.

I will lead the charge in the 2nd District, and I will charge the hill with every fiber of my being. I am not playing games and I will not mince words. I need you.

What you invest in Don Cole for Congress goes to carry the message from Don Cole to the people of the 2nd District and for our nation.

This is me. I am sitting in my den at 5:00 am, drinking my coffee, praying for our President, our Governor, and our nation and banging furiously on this key board.

I am not begging you to help me meet some fundraising goal. I don’t give just to help politicians meet some fundraising goal and you don’t either.  

I care about our nation. I care about proclaiming the truth that we might continue to live as a free people as one nation under God.

You cannot hope for someone else to give. You cannot hope for someone else do something. 

Invest as you are led to invest, but for the sake of our nation, and for the love of God, invest something to get this message out!

Choose you this day! You’ve thought about it. You meant to do it. You were going to do it. Now, do it.

Choose You This Day

Choose you this day. Those words are familiar. It is likely that you have already finished the phrase in your mind.

In his final address, to the nation of Israel, Joshua stood before the nation that he had led into the Promised Land. He reminded them of God’s providential care. He reminded them of God’s abundant blessings.

Joshua also warned them of the danger that lurked and would attack the foundation of their freedom. Then Joshua challenged the people to make a willful, conscious, decision to choose.

Joshua concluded with his decision. “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)

Today, America stands at the point of decision. We are in a time like never before.

The primary issues today are no longer about the size of government, tax policy, or regulation. Today we see mob violence, destruction, and an intentional, planned, assault on America.

What began as calls for the removal of memorial statues, has now taken on the face of mob destruction and violence. Today statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are not only criticized but defaced and damaged.

Princeton University removed Woodrow Wilson’s name from its Public Policy Center. The Democrat Party in Orange County, California called for the renaming of the John Wayne airport because of comments he made in an interview with Playboy magazine half a century ago.

This mob frenzy has surpassed mere political correctness. It has now metastasized into a cancer that is out to destroy America itself.

Democrats blame President Trump for the violence while at the same time they call for abolishing the police. Seattle handed over several blocks of the city to a lawless mob who apparently could not settle on the name of their newly formed republic, “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ) or “Capitol Hill Organized Protest” (CHOP).

In the first month of CHAZ/CHOP, there were at least six shootings. After three shootings in a 48 hour time frame, one being fatal, the Mayor of Seattle boldly proclaimed that the city “will not allow for gun violence to continue in the evenings around Capitol Hill.”

The Mayor’s proclamation was so effective that 72 hours later there was another shooting. A week later yet another shooting left a 16 year old dead and a 14 year old in critical condition.

Meanwhile, Democrats, including Sanford Bishop, are characteristically silent about the lawlessness, crime, destruction, and decay. The problem is that Democrats have controlled these areas for decades. What happened in a matter of weeks in CHAZ/CHOP was just Democrat leadership on steroids.

Today, America stands at a critical crossroads. The violence and destruction that we see around our nation share no DNA with the values of the people of the 2nd District.

I am speaking up and standing up for your values. I am speaking up and standing up for you as I challenge Sanford Bishop.

I need you to stand with me. I need you to put skin in the game with me.

I am regularly asked if the Republican party will support our race. Yes they will, but they need to see that the people of the 2nd District are standing up. Now is the time to take a stand.

When you donate to Don Cole for Congress, the money stays with my campaign and is focused right here on my campaign. Your contribution will go to promote your values and you can count on that.

You may have never donated to a political campaign before. Now is the time, today is the day.

We are at a time as never before. Right now, you, not anyone else, but you stand at a point of decision.

Some of my readers have already given generously and sacrificially. If you have not given to my campaign yet, then I ask you to do it now.

The number of individual donors is just as important as how much the donors give. Will you put some skin in the game by donating as little as $2.20 (2nd District in 20) or $20.20 (Send DC to DC in 2020)?

The Senate Stimulus Goes to the House

Late last night the Senate, in a unanimous 96 – 0 vote, passed a $2 trillion dollar stimulus bill. This came after several days of stalling by Democrats who wanted to add provisions that had more to do with the Democrat agenda than the current crisis. 

I looked at the bill summary and here are the key provisions.  Continue reading

Enough With the Politics

Democrats in Washington have sunk to a new low. They should be focusing on an immediate response to an immediate need. Instead they use this crisis to kick Americans when they are down.

President Trump, in a two hour press conference yesterday, expressed frustration at Senate Democrats. The President said that they had an agreement but Democrats wanted to tack on provisions totally unrelated to the immediate need. Continue reading

Day of Prayer – March 15, 2020

Yesterday, President Trump declared today, March 15, 2020, as a National Day of Prayer for all Americans Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and for our National Response Efforts. I am including a link to the President’s Proclamation at the end of this note.

Our National Motto is, “In God We Trust.” It is in times of emergency or uncertainty that we return to those four simple words. Continue reading
