Blogger and Rapper Running Against Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

Here is some interesting news out of Texas, as reported by Pete Kasperowicz, over at thehill.com.

Listen to Maurice below:

Get this, nine-term Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), who easily won reelection in 2010 with 70 percent of the vote, will face a challenge this November from Maurice Duhon Jr., who writes a political blog and is also a Houston-area rapper who goes by the name Cornbreadd. Duhon announced his candidacy on Tuesday, and told the Houston Press that he's running because "I believe we can do better." Read more HERE

I plan to invite him on to my political slugfest blogtalkradio program in the near future - stay tuned.

Hello and welcome to my Blog

As you can see, I'm a former moderate-progressive Democrat, now a moderate-progressive registered Independent voter, blogger and blogtalk radio host.

I have been recognized both nationally and internationally as an African American social and political blogger who talks about politics in laymens terms.

Yes, I'm a African American Baby Boomer who gives common sense independent African American political opinion to issues important to the African American communities. I call it the way I see it. Many times it may not be a popular opinion, and it probably won't be what negro civil rights groups, and so-called black leaders want to hear. Candidly I could give a royal crap if they agree or disagree.

I have had the opportunity of serving as a credentialed blogger at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. I continue to support and voted for President Barack Obama, although I have been a critic of "some" of his political appointments and policies. I appreciate you reading my blog. If you have thoughts or comments regarding a blog post, come on over to my Facebook Page to have a conversation. You can contact me at AfricanAmericanPundit@gmail.com

Take the opportunity to read what my hometown newspaper

The Bay State Banner has to say about me:

"OK, folks, black bloggers to the back of the bus," read one post on the African American Political Pundit, one of the more prominent national black blogs." More HERE

What Media Outlet's Say About This Blog

Rewind 2008 Democratic National Convention Blogger LN Rock of African American Pundit.com predicts the blogosphere will have a "significant" role in deciding the election in November. "It tells the story when you have 120 bloggers coming to the convention," he says. "Millions of people listen, watch and hear what the bloggers say. There is a disenchantment with the traditional media." He spares the BBC his criticism, saying we are "creative media." Cheers, LN.
