- 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.

Amy said… - Hi Dwight,
Are you attending the Tea Party Protest this morning? Give me a call if you like, 314-352-2175 (please leave a message if I don't answer).
Here's the info I received from the organizer, Bill Hennessey--pass it on if you can:
VIDOGRAPHERS: Email bill@hennessysview.com, subj: VIDEO LINK if you plan to video tape tomorrow's protest. I will send you the login information to upload your videos to the official TV site for the event.
Follow the signs for Riverboat parking. It's $4.00, but it's by far the most convenient.
The media will be out in force. Some will challenge you on Republican spending and Republican votes in Congress. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! We are CONSERVATIVES demanding that Congress REPEAL these irresponsible bills or RETIRE. And we will retire them. Are you listening Specter? Snow? Collins?
The Weather: High 42, Partly Cloudy, 10% chance of precip, wind from North at 18. (Prepare for high wind. Bring weights for paper, posters, etc.)
10:00 is a good time to start showing up.
NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Smith will lead us in the National Anthem!!!!!
We have protesters coming from Kansas City, Springfield IL, and other distant places.
WEAR SOMETHING RED: We represent the blood of the patriots who purchased our freedom with blood, sweat, toil, and tears from Boston to Baghdad.
Be patient with protesters. Stay on message with reporters. You don't have to attempt to answer any question from the press. If you don't have a good answer, simply say, "Congress will Repeal the Pork, or we will Retire them from public office in 2010 at the ballot box." It's not rude; it's how the press is handled. If you ARE comfortable answering responsively, please do so.
At the designated time, we begin the official ceremonies:
-Pledge
-National Anthem led by NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Smith
-Speakers
-Official activities:
-- Signing the Petition
-- Signing Tea Bags (we'll provide labels to stick on)
-- Tea Dump in the River
-A final thank you from the organizers
End
God bless,
Amy
