Uhmmmmmm, ....interesting. You are the first to express this sentiment. Most of us have not had the privilege of having those at the top of leadership be welcoming. The information you have shared is helpful because it helps us to reshape our overall "African American Republican" experience as an organization. We now can add it to our experience, which by the way, I did not mean to make it appear that there was no racism at the grassroots. It is just that at the grassroots, usually, they don't have the power to stand as gatekeepers. But I now understand that in Texas, it is different.
This is why it is important to hear from each other as African American brothers and sisters of faith.
I hope you will allow me to share it with the membership and with the press.
Nevertheless, I am still not going to let you get off the hook by opting out at this point. All of us have paid too great of a price and have put up with too much to at this point, just as God is doing something within the Republican Party opt out. Sorry, ...but I cannot let you do that. You are my big brother, and I cannot let you do that!
We will deal with the "Texas" experience, if you will just hang in there and take a stand with us! I need you.
So when you e-mail me back, I want to hear you are "in" and not "out" of the fight. ....And if we don't win with these efforts mandated b God, ....then we "ALL" will be OUT! Is that a deal of which you can agree to? Please?
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.

MY DESIRE TO BE DESIGNED
BY KHADINE BECKFORD
AS MY DAY IS BEGINNING, WITH THE BRIGHT SUN GLAZING ACROSS MY FACE,
NEW MERCIES I HAVE, ONCE AGAIN.
I AM REMINDED OF A SECOND CHANCE THAT HAS JUST BEGUN.
THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS CULTIVATED WITHING MY HEART, HAS BRAUGHT FORTH A
DESIRE, TO BE MADE IN THE LIKENESS OF MY HOLY FATHER.
Deare friend I will give you word from God to ispire your spirit And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, Ezek. 37.27 and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.Revelation.21.3
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.John 17.24
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John.14.1-3 God bless you. Love in Christ from Gods servant of grace.Per Einar Jensen from Norway
