I believe Colin Powell to be an American hero of the first order and a decent man. But he has no business being in the Republican Party. Mr. Powell defended his endorsement last year of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama, saying that in...

I look up to Colin and find him more inline with my political views than most Republicans. I also respect him for speaking against Rush's unlike Micheal Steele (who seems to be incurring much disrespect from his own party). The GOP has run the mod...

Powell is a straight up political opportunist; he goes wherever the flow is strongest. some may try to excuse him for doing what he thinks is good for America, but the truth is that he does so only after sampling to see what America thinks is good...

I've said it time and time again here. "My 80% friend is not my 20% enemy." I'm pretty conservative, and make no excuses for it, but it concerns me when I see us (African Americans) try to out conservative White conservatives. We're not going to h...

In Defense of Colin Powell

wrote this Sunday after his appearance on Face the Nation

I'm going to step out on a limb here and make the case for GEN Powell's inclusion in the Republican Party. Not that it's up to anyone to throw him out, but the bashing's getting out of hand. So here we go.

First off, something about Powell that you may not know-and this is a no-shitter-the black community, even after his speech at the UN to make the case for Iraq, still has a very healthy respect for him. I think it's likely that… Continue

Be Not Afraid: A Cry for Black Conservative Leadership

It’s a terrible thing to say, but there’s a terrible contradiction among a lot of black Republicans and conservatives that I know. That’s not directed at anyone personally, but it’s reflective of a certain attitude that I see among some of us.

Since we’re all family, let’s talk.

It bothers me when I hear some of us complain in private about how unrecognized our efforts go in the eyes of the local or state Republican Party leadership. About how when we bring ideas to the table, we’re slapped do… Continue

Memo to Michael Steele

Mr. Steele,

When you were elected chairman of the RNC, I rejoiced. I saw in you an opportunity to move the GOP forward from its questionable past to a future as a tru party of inclusion. I remember watching the voting online, and me and my son jumping up and down when the final tally was announced. I had high hopes for you, and hoped you’d succeed during your chairmanship.

I saw you take on Rush Limbaugh. Saw you doing what you had to, to reestablish your authority. I’ll admit to some concern,… Continue

I am Dr. Jean Howard-Hill and I head the National Republican African American Caucus - NRAAC.

The NRAAC creates a new, exciting and positive relationship between the Republican Party and the African-American community; and increases the visibility and ranks of African-American Republicans who share some of the same core values as the Party.

The uniqueness of our organization is two fold:

1. Ninety percent (90%) of our membership are new republicans! This means we have successfully recruited from a fresh pool of voters who were either Independents, Democrats or non-voters.

2. The membership consist of ninety-nine percent (99%) African America people of faith, with more than seventy-five percent (75%) of its membership coming from the African American clergy and those in ministry, and ninety-five percent (95%) of its leadership being clergy and those in some form of ministry.

The NRAAC also serves as a conduit for addressing issues and concerns that are unique to the African-American community, and opportunities to work together with the Republican Party, and elected officials to find workable and amicable solutions. The creation of the organization offers hope for the betterment of the total community by building a stronger, more diverse, and more stable political environment, that strengthens our families, communities, and nation.

Our goal is 1 million by 2012, and 100,000 in 2010. You may ask why so many? As one who teaches Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, let me explain why. It is because political strength is in numbers! If you can show you have a substantial number of people who can stand as a voting block, and have the ability to finance your own cause, then you become a significant player within the political landscape. This is how we as African Americans get to the table, have a voice and are placed ourselves in appointed and elected positions.

The NRAAC website at www.nraacaucus.org, contains more information on the organization and its projects.

Also we have begun to make new appointments of regional and state chairs, and advisory board and national board members for 2010. If you are interested, and have decide to become a member, you may submit your name, bio/resume for consideration to jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or chair@nraacaucus.org .

Feel free to e-mail me at jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or jean-howard-hill@utc.edu, and to pass this e-mail on to anyone who may be interested. Tennessee, Ohio and Florida’s websites are up. They can be accessed at www.tnraacaucus.org, www.ohraacaucus.org, and www.flraacaucus.org The websites for other states should be up by the end of November 2010. We welcome members from all states!

I look forward to hearing from you, having you join our membership, and even seeing you at the April 16th – 17th NRAAC Conference. Our theme is: Setting the Republican Agenda to Include People of Color.

Dr. Jean Howard-Hill, Nat’l Chair
