"I am a 30yr old Black Republican that shares the same philsophy as
you. I believe in limited government, but I don't think that people should
be unable to look upon government as an arbiter and dispenser of
justice and fairness. I to rage against what Theodore Roosevelt called
"malefactors of great wealth" that use the capitalist system as a personal
playground. Being a minority I am for the strong protection of civil
rights by government. A conservative would call me a Democrat in disguise.
What seperates me from a Liberal Democrat is that I believe in the use
of deadly force to take down our enemies, and that people should take
greater responsibility over thier own lives. Our branch on the GOP tree
is a weak branch. We must do all we can to prevent the branch from
dying. I wonder what can I do to help on the local level to see our
candidates/policies adopted/elected? I would like to help.
Thank You,
Serge "
I hope Serge is reading this blog. It's nice to know that there are other black moderates out there. If you are reading this blog, I would do a few things. First, contact Republicans for Environmental Protection. They are an awesome group and would be eager to get you involved in something.
Next, I would get involved at a local level. Go to your local convention or local Republican party meeting. I'd bet you might meet a few moderates there.
Finally, start your own blog. That's the best way to get others interested and maybe get more moderates in your area talking.
Good luck!
