Woman Wants 'KKK Hotline' Investigated
(01/24/06 -- HENDERSON) - A local woman is battling with the Ku Klux Klan and she's asking the Henderson City Council to join her fight.
Sara Coffey runs a bail bonds business in Henderson and recently ran for public office. She wants something done about phone messages like this one:
"[Coffey] says she would like to see more minority business come to Henderson. More minority businesses would mean a higher crime rate, which would be good for the bail bonds business."
That is a recent KKK "political message," from the Klan number listed in the Henderson phone book. It is the same KKK hotline Eyewitness News reported on 10 years ago, when it played this message:
"Thank you for calling the KKK. It will soon be election time again and time for the Jew-controlled media to pick a president." <b

Coffey is calling for City Council to investigate the hotline. C

lwoman Mary Emma Evans spoke tells Eyewitness News that the Council did what they thought was appropriate.
"Referred it to the human relations commission," she said.
The hotline's number matches the address of Howard Bobbitt's home. Coffey says that she and her husband called Bobbitt to discuss the hotline.
"He asked what kind of problem did we have with it, and we told him basically everything that was on it," Coffey said.
Eyewitness News tried to call Bobbitt for his side of the story Tuesday. No one answered.
