| Description | MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- Renewing his attack on conservatives and the Bush administration Sunday, NAACP chairman Julian Bond accused national leaders of rolling back past civil rights gains, crippling efforts to battle racism and undermining democracy.
"The president likes to talk the talk, but he doesn't walk the walk," Bond told members at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
President Bush has turned down five invitations to attend NAACP gatherings, including this year's, and Bond on Sunday invited Bush to the next one, in Washington.
"Mr. President, we're extending the invitation a year in advance," Bond said. "We want to see you and we want you to see us -- we want to know you think you're our president, too." |
