Black Conservative Group Offers $5,000 Scholarships To Students "Denied" Funds By Democrat Rep. Sanford Bishop

AlbanyHerald.com:

In the latest twist involving Rep. Sanford Bishop, Jr., D-Albany, and the questionable awarding of Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarships to relatives or people associated with his wife, Vivian, a Black conservative organization has jumped into the mix.

Timothy F. Johnson, Chairman and Founder of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, yesterday announced that the foundation would offer a $5,000 scholarship to any student who applied for a CBCF scholarship through Bishop, and was denied. The FDF said an unnamed supporter has committed the funds to help students in need.

Bishop's office has acknowledged awarding scholarship money to relatives and those with connections to staffers in his office. He has since repaid the CBCF $6,350, and the foundation has amended its rules to prohibit the practice.

"Congressman Bishop should be ashamed at himself for funneling scholarship money to relatives and friends, instead of those students in his district who need them most," Johnson said. "And in order for the Frederick Douglass Foundation to truly put our money where our mouths are, we're offering a $5,000 scholarship for any student who comes forward from Congressman Bishop's district and can prove they were denied a CBC scholarship."

Picking up after those affected by the culture of corrupt Democrats are left hanging, conservatives need to do more of this.
