Condi Rice heard blast that killed girls in 1963. Won't endorse man who brought killers to justice. [View all]

Condoleezza Rice heard the blast at 16th St. Baptist Church in Sept. 1963. She was friends with Denise McNair. She won't endorse the man who prosecuted the killers of those four little girls? I'm sad for her.

"This week's special election will be one of the most significant in Alabama's history. As a native daughter, I remain - at heart - an Alabaman who loves our state and its devotion to faith, family, and country," Rice stated.

"I encourage you to take a stand for our core principles and for what is right. These critical times require us to come together to reject bigotry, sexism, and intolerance.

"It is imperative for Americans to remain focused on our priorities and not give way to side shows and antics. I know that Alabamans need an independent voice in Washington. But we must also insist that our representatives are dignified, decent, and respectful of the values we hold dear.

"Please exercise your right to vote - a privilege won by the sacrifices of our ancestors. Sustain the central ideals and values that make our country a beacon for freedom and justice for the sake of Alabama and for the good of the United States of America."
