Subject: A Need For Men and Women of God in Politics!
Dear Preachers and Those in Ministry:
I need some bold preachers to go with me into the lion’s den!
I am a veteran African American Republican who in 1979, God sent into the Republican Party to bring about change and to bring down the walls of prejudice and call the party back to the place of its original birth as the Party of Lincoln.
This has not been an easy battle. I have shared those experiences in the book I wrote, Black Eyes Shut – White Lips Sealed (victorysongcollectionspublications.com). Yet I have stood against all odds, and now it is time to take it to the next level.
What I have seen is that the racism, mean spiritedness and the foolishness that is within the Republican Party is mostly at the top. Those who rise to the top, in most cases are the perpetrators. But when you go to the grass roots level, this almost is not there or it is in lesser degrees. Many at the grass roots level are those who believe what we believe, work with us and even share sweet fellowship. However, when you begin to get involved at the party level, this is where the demons of racism rear their heads and stand as gatekeepers.
Having taught American Government, State and Local Government and International Politics and Culture of Non-Western Countries as a political science professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I understand government at all levels – even globally. I know what it will take to break the hold and to get pass the political gatekeepers. Sit-in and protests will do absolutely nothing! Even prayer alone will not suffice. But with the power of prayer, as well as the wisdom of God, we have to move into both parties and carve out a place for ourselves as Americans, if we want to share in America’s political power base. Yes, this means moving even into the Republican Party.
As the national chair for the Black Republican Women Organization, I began back in 1987 recruiting African American women into the GOP, who were not willing to be tokens, but who could retain their blackness.
Presently, I head the National Republican African American Caucus. It is a unique republican organization because it allows African Americans to be a part of a collective body that can and will bring about change. Our goal is 1.5 million by 2012, and 500,000 in 2010. You may ask why so many? It is because political strength is in numbers! In politics, believe it or not, it has very little to do with color. It has to do with numbers and the ability to write the check. 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 the ONLY way that we gain and retain political power. This is how we as African Americans get to the table, have a voice and place ourselves in appointed and elected positions. This is how we stop some of the foolishness that is going on in politics.
As an African American Republican, I proudly voted for President Obama in the general election. But his ability to win was because he was able to get beyond the gatekeepers and become a political player within the Democratic Party. Now we have to do the same thing within the Republican Party!
Having said all of this, I need men and women of God who will join with me to fulfill this mandate, and will join the NRAAC and even begin local caucuses. I don’t want everyone! Because it is important to remain political players in both parties. We need to be in the Democratic and Republican parties. I just need a significant number of praying people, and those who are strong and can take a stand for what is right to come into the Republican fold, so that our voices are heard.
I ask you to go to the NRAAC website at www.nraacaucus.org and see what we are all about. Then pray about this and see if you are one of the ones who God is saying, “I call you to take a stand on the other side (the Republican Party), so that you can make a difference.”
Also see if perhaps God is calling you to serve in a leadership capacity. In November, we will be making new appointments of regional and state chairs, and advisory board and national board members. If you are interested, and decide to become a member, you may submit your name, bio/resume for consideration.
I look forward to those of you who are godly and truly believe in justice and compassionate, yet self-responsibility and responsible government, joining our ranks!
…And for those of you who already are Republicans, we welcome you to the family of African American Republicans.
Let’s ALL go forth, and make a positive difference regardless of which party we are in!
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. Tennessee also has a state caucus at www.tnraacaucus.org. The websites for other states should be up by the end of October 2010. We welcome members from all states!
Look forward to hearing from you and even seeing you at the April 9th – 10th NRAAC Conference. Our theme: Setting the Republican Agenda to Include People of Color.

Hello there hope you are well and you add me as a friend. Hey I have some information about our Church Growth Conference here in Los Angeles in Jan and would love for you to come out...www.churchgrowthdvd.com, let me know..!!
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Happy Birthday Brother Kenneth
Oral sex is stimulating the genitals with the mouth, lips and tongue, by kissing, sucking, licking and nibbling. Many people use oral sex as foreplay or a substitute for intercourse, because it can be just as important and enjoyable as full sex. Some people prefer gentle oral sex, with plenty of kisses to the areas around the genitals first, whereas others favor a firmer approach!
IS THERE NOT SOME SORT OF HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MOUTH TO GENITAL CONTACT?
We’ll have to look more closely at those health risks.
Although there is no risk of pregnancy, you can still catch some very nasty infections.
Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, herpes, hepatitis B, chlamydia and HIV can be transmitted through oral-genital contact. It's also possible for a woman to pass thrush to her partner, while they perform oral sex. If a male ejaculates in his partner's mouth during oral sex, then the risk of catching an STI becomes higher.
If you have any sores or cuts in your mouth, you should avoid oral sex. Also, don't brush or floss your teeth right before you have oral sex. This could tear the lining of the mouth, and increase your risk of catching any viruses that may be present.
AS SUCH, SHOULD TRUE CHRISTIAN COUPLES HAVE ORAL SEX?
This is what many people think:
Indeed, some people think that Oral sex is not a sin as long as you complete it with intercourse. It is not considered sodomy but foreplay then. Oral sex is morally permissible between mutually consenting husband and wife as a form of foreplay or afterplay. So first orgasm (women's that is) oral, second intercourse.
Of course it is okay, you are married first of all and oral sex has nothing to do with the fact that you are Christian...if you are married you can do whatever you want to do as long as your partner is comfortable with it of course. It is ok to kiss those sexual areas, but not to actually swallow the semen.
According to those people, no where does the Bible forbid it or discuss it. There is no biblical evidence that it is a sin against God for a husband and wife to express love for each other in this way.
“If it’s with the one you love. Some scholars say that the Song of Solomon contains poetic references to oral sex. Such a reference, as one example, would be Song of Solomon 4:16,” Come ... blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits."
HOWEVER, other people think that oral sex is a sin since it provokes the spilling of the seed, while sex is only for procreation. Oral sex does not enhance procreation, which is the only reason a Christian should be having sex. Oral sex and anal sex are both prohibitive of procreation and therefore ARE SINS. After all...if God said "go forth and multiply" (by way of sex), and you're a Christian, and your sexual practices don't advocate procreation, why bother having sex? Shouldn't you remain celibate until you're ready to have a child?
A strict interpretation would indicate that oral sex is a sin, as the act would not be for procreation (and would be considered sodomy). Either be a Christian or don't, but don't pretend the religion is in favour of sodomy. Oral sex is morally permissible as long as you do not judge other people for committing sodomy. And many Christians do just that. They judge others for sodomy while being ignorant to the FACT that they do it too. What is the natural use for the mouth? It sure isn't for sex...Natural use (Romans 1).
Those people also think that there is no proof that the text in Solomon is referring to "oral" sex. Not at all.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, we note that the views on this issue are divided. There are arguments in favour of oral sex whereas others are against that practice. So, let's first see the opinions of some theologians about oral sex before answering the question above in light of the holy Bible...
