The GOP has either ignored Blacks, on the assumption that their resources are better spent elsewhere, or has pandered to Blacks – with predictable results.
Your ideas are great. They are required study – not only for Black GOP candidates – but also white ones.
Let me give you an insight that may help in the financial and activist area. My wife’s Republican Women’s club gave some money to Winsome Sears. They only gave a token amount. First, because they thought she was a long shot and second, because she did not appear personally before them. The next time around, she will get a lot more support.
Here’s a dirty little secret though. The local GOP District Committees are usually not much more than endorsement committees. Once you get the nod, you get the opportunity to raise your own money, get your own volunteers, plant your own signs and do all the other work to get you elected.
The real untapped resource of the GOP candidate are the women’s groups. They will provide money, polls workers, sign posters, literature drops, and all the other nuts and bolts of door-to-door politicking.
Combine this with a no-nonsense style of meeting the enemy that your advise, and we could have an unbeatable combination in a lot of districts.
Men and women like you will run the "Freedom Railroad" out of the Dim plantation.God speed in geting the message out.
