  • Minority Inclusion Is Diversity Diversion at the GOP
    The Black Commentator − Minority Inclusion is Diversity Diversion at the GOP Issue 152 − September 29, 2005 Minority Inclusion is Diversity Diversion at the GOP: A View from the Black Republican Side by Wamara Mwine Guest Commentator (Use the back button on your browser to return to the previous page) Printer Friendly Version The state of African−American affairs in America remains in a dismal state, as noted by the visual images evolving from Hurricane Katrina. Unemployment, crime, healthcare and education continue to plague black people nationwide. The lack of new black leaders in all areas is a major factor. The Republican Party says it is doing everything to draw black leaders into their ranks. Illinois Democrat Barack Obama has given the GOP a real example of what Republicans have been unwilling or unable to do with their black candidates. Yet, the GOP has political capital like Obama, but Republicans refuse to let them rise to the national level. Mostly this is a control thing. During Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie’s reign, the GOP promoted spokesmen like Armstrong Williams. The former syndicated columnist was paid $241,000 to promote President Bush’s No Child Left Behind program. The money was poorly spent because Williams, who has no constituency, was unable to get any real support for the president. The other face of black Republicans was Don King. The boxing promoter was trotted out during the 2004 Republican Convention. Hardly a conservative, King, like Williams is not viewed as a role model by black Americans. Don King is also a convicted felon.

  • John Mount Oral History Interview at the Osu Archives March 17, 2004
    JOHN MOUNT ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW AT THE OSU ARCHIVES MARCH 17, 2004 Q. Today is March 17, 2004. This is Raimund Goerler and I’m interviewing John Mount for the OSU Archives Oral History Program. John, we’re continuing to discuss the Enarson administration today. One of the characteristics of the history of the University is that we have, relatively speaking, a conservative and largely Republican campus. However, in collecting Harold Enarson as President we got a Democrat. Can you comment on the politics, whether it had an impact on the University life and how so. A. I would comment this way. I believe really that the partisan politics that each person brings to the University and certainly the Presidents, is a part of the life of this country. But I believe it did not enter into academic decisions. And I don’t recall it ever having major appointments made where, Harold Enarson certainly and other Presidents that I worked with, lifted up even a question about which party an academic person, faculty person was in. In that way in response to your question, the impact upon the academic life of the University was not evident to be partisan in Harold Enarson. There’s no question that Harold Enarson came out of a background of working with Democratic appointed people, elected people, both in Washington and his own experience. One of the evidences of his political leanings came out when he invited Ambassador Moynihan to come and be a commencement speaker here. And that probably was one of the most controversial commencement speakers to come to the campus that I can 1 remember in terms of the reaction of the general public.

  • 111Th Congressional House Scorecard.Pdf
    Federal NRLC Scorecard - 111th Congress, Combined Sessions U.S. House of Representatives 111th Congress, Combined Sessions 1. Foreign Relations Authorization Act (Office for Global Women's Issues) (06/10/2009, Roll Call No. 328) In testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on April 22, 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear that the Obama Administration will seek to promote abortion throughout the world. "We are now an administration that will protect the rights of women, including their rights to reproductive health care," Secretary Clinton said. She also said that the Obama Administration believes that "reproductive health includes access to abortion," and she told pro-life Congressman Chris Smith (R- NJ), "You are entitled to advocate . anywhere in the world, and so are we." In June 2009 the House of Representatives took up the Foreign Relations Authorization Act (H.R. 2410), a bill to authorize various State Department activities. The bill contained a section to establish an Office for Global Women's Issues, headed by an ambassador-at-large who will report directly to Secretary Clinton. Given the clear evidence that the Obama Administration State Department is determined to campaign for abortion, NRLC informed House members that NRLC opposed the bill, unless the House added an amendment proposed by Congressman Smith to prohibit the office from engaging in activities to change foreign abortion laws. However, the House Rules Committee -- which is an arm of the leadership of the Democratic majority that controls the House -- refused to allow the House to vote on the Smith Amendment, so NRLC opposed passage of the bill.

Our co-sponsors, along with the many local host agencies and organizations in the Tampa area, have teamed up with my staff for what I think you will find to be both an educational and enjoyable week. We are encouraged that each year we join with new allies and partners in our fight against crime and violence in our communities. In 2005 the conference will mark a milestone, the celebration of its 20th consecutive year. As those of you who have joined us on this journey well know, it has taken hard work, though it has been a labor of love, in order for this conference to become a unique and respected national crime prevention annual event. Thank you for your continued commitment, support, and resources to these vital prevention efforts. As Florida’s Attorney General, I am both pleased and honored to sponsor this important initiative. Sincerely, Charlie Crist 20th National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black Community 1 Departjment of Law State of Georgia THURBERT E.
