The labels, liberal, moderate and conservative work find in a simplistic, absolute, "black and white" perspective or worldview, but reality is a complex, relative world of infinite "grey areas". The vast majority of the moral and mundane decisons th…

Syreeta, I am in the same boat with you on the abortion issue. My personal conviction on the matter is that abortion is killing an unborn human being. However I accept that others have a different conviction, therefore I don't want Roe vs Wade overt…

"The Benefit Of Informed Citizens Raising Hell"

The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.
William F. Buckley, Jr.


In the face of Big Government usurpation of the civil liberties and responsibilities of citizens, silence and acquiescence are not options. Thank heaven for the assertive voice of blogs, podcasts and talk radio that did not give the Bush Administration any slack and will not give the Obama Administration any slack either. The mainstream media has become a propaganda tool for the "powers tContinue

"The Dreams Of President Obama"

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.
John F. Kennedy


Skeptics and cynics have their place in human society and endeavors. Such thinkers help us to articulate and fully perceive our problems but as JFK pointed out their "horizons are limited by the obvious realities". Genuine problem solvers are men and women who dare to dream, be optimistic andContinue

"It's Time To Straighten Up Our Backs"

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.


Freedom and the right to choose, within the boundary of harming no one, is the most precious of gifts given to us by God. The Founding Fathers, through the Bill Of Rights and the Declaration Of Independence, sought to protect our civil liberties, rights and freContinue

"Obama Is No Reagan"

I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.
Ronald Reagan


One of the things I liked about Ronald Reagan was his seeming optimism and confidence, even in his assassination attempt when he quipped to his wife, "I forgot to duck". Though Reagan never openly spoke about racial issues, he wasn't a racist. Whether you agreed with his political ideology or not, President Reagan made Americans feContinue

"Leave The Vulture In His Gilded Cage"

Saying Bernard Madoff enjoys a "gilded penthouse incarceration," civil rights activist Al Sharpton led a rally outside the accused swindler's Manhattan home on Saturday urging equal justice for the rich and poor.

Sharpton and about 30 other demonstrators protested that Madoff was being allowed to remain free pending trial while poor people with no access to top legal representation la

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.
