Conadidate Review - Civil Rights - Representative Dick Gephardt

Memo to Candidate Gephardt; see my complaints about Kerry's website.

But here is a quote from the candidate.

"I believe affirmative action is an essential tool in expanding educational opportunities. It is our responsibility to continually support diversity in higher education."

And here is a section from his website.

As president, Dick Gephardt will commit his administration to realizing our nation's promise of equal justice and opportunity for all.

Our nation has made great progress in civil rights, but there is still much work left to do. Discrimination in all forms -- from the workplace to the classroom to the voting booth -- must be ended once and for all. As president, Gephardt will work to provide economic opportunity for all Americans, support affirmative action programs, protect voting rights and expand the federal jurisdiction of intolerable hate crimes.
