I received an email from Victoria Cobb, President of the Family Foundation. I had recently spoken with Terry Beatley who heads up the No Excuse Ministry which, among many things, features an outreach to African-American churches.

I suppose it should be flattering to find that the New York Times reads Virginia Right! and actually linked to us on their Editorial Page in an Opinion piece by Andrew Rosenthal.
