WELCOME TO RBE
Republicans for Black Empowerment is on a mission to raise the value of black America's political capital by increasing awareness of the upside offered by conservative solutions to the black community's concerns. For over 40 years, black voters have staunchly aligned themselves with the Democratic Party on Election Day. However, an increasing number have begun questioning the wisdom of supporting: (i) social policies rooted in low expectations and government dependency; (ii) economic and tax policies that stifle economic growth, job creation, personal savings and investment; and (iii) education policies that refuse to subject public schools to the competitive pressures of school choice, leaving parents of predominantly black students in failing schools without the choices enjoyed by middle and upper-class Americans.
We believe misinformation rather than adequate 'return on investment' cements black allegiance to the Democratic Party. To that end, Republicans for Black Empowerment seeks to raise awareness, provoke greater critical thinking and increase Republican elected officials through executing a program aligned with four long-term goals:
Our membership is comprised of a grassroots coalition of concerned citizens from all ethnic groups and regions of the United States. Please join and support our efforts.
Many thanks for being an active member of Republicans for Black Empowerment (RBE), among the fastest-growing organizations and social networks for black conservatives and GOP activists. RBE’s core reason for being remains (i) making it easy for black conservatives and Republican Party activists to discover one another, (ii) encouraging members to become engaged within their local and/or state political apparatus and (iii) providing a forum for spirited debate amongst critical thinkers.
In 2010, we experienced exceptional growth, with 250 new members joining, pushing membership up by 50% to over 750 individuals. In addition, RBE launched its official Facebook Page with over 900 members, counseled several candidates and provided them access to our network for donations and hosted our 4th Annual Gathering of GOP Activists in Washington, D.C. This annual event acts as a conservative alternative to the more liberal leaning Congressional Black Caucus event, which is held the same day.
As we approach the 2012 election season, we are seeking new ways to grow membership and build on our influence. Specifically, we intend to (i) invest in marketing materials to support the development of RBE affiliates around the country and (ii) upgrade our website by doubling the number of Ning Apps. The latter will expand the quantity and quality of features available to members and allow us to engage in new ways with one another.
To accomplish these goals we are making our first online fundraising appeal. If you are so inclined, please click the DONATE link on the sidebar of our site (www.theblackgop.com) and contribute a minimum of $25.
Thanks again for your active engagement online and offline toward increasing awareness amongst the black electorate, in particular, of conservative solutions to the issues facing our nation and communities, respectively.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Scoggins, President
From The Washington Times, about the conservative Republican Congressman: "Florida Republican Rep. Allen West told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that conservatives mustn't 'sit back on our laurels' won during the Republicans' sweeping 2010 midterm election success and press ahead to control all of government. 'The moment has come for us to set our sights on something bigger,' the outspoken South Florida freshman Republican told a CPAC audience. 'We must not be satisfied with holding one-third of the federal government if that means that two-thirds are held by the liberal progressives.' 'Our goal this time must be even bigger — to keep the House, to take the Senate and to occupy the White House with conservatives.'"38 members
