If Republicans could make sufficient inroads into the African-American community just to the point of getting 20% or 25% of the vote, this would make a huge difference in many elections. It would certainly impact every presidential election as well as the battle for control of the House and Senate. Once the 25% barrier was broken, many more credible Black Republican candidates and leaders could emerge, and the movement could mushroom.

Common sense tells us that many Blacks share conservative values, and if you look at the problems that face so many Black neighborhoods-- high crime, unwed births, deterioration of family structures, poor academic performance, etc.-- then it is obvious that the solutions lie in restoring the values championed by Republicans, not in more government programs.

Who is going to be the Martin Luther King, Jr. of the 21st Century? Who will be the leader that targets the true villians and shows the path to economic independence and achievement of the American Dream?

If republicans could get 25% of the black votes, there would not be another democrat elected nationally. Democrats need the black vote in a major way. Too bad republicans can't seem to find a way to let blacks and other minorities know who the real racists are in this country.
