ABCNEWS.com : Noted Now: ABC News' Political News Digest: "SHARPTON DEVIATES FROM PLANNED TEXT WITH 20-MINUTE SPEECH
TO BUSH: 'You said the Republican Party was the party of Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. We were promised forty acres and a mule. We never got the 40 acres. We never got the 40 acres. We didn't get the mule. So we decided we would ride this donkey as far as it would take us.'
ON FLORIDA 2000: 'The reason we took Florida so seriously is our right to vote wasn't gained because of our age. Our vote was soaked in the blood of violence... This vote can't be taken away. This vote can't be given away... Mr. President. Read my lips. Our vote is not for sale.'"
