A nice idea, but since there are so many issues within our individual communities -- even within the same ethnic group -- I'm not sure it would be viable.

Well, no party completely represents its supporters. The key is agreeing on a platform and sticking with it.

The problem (okay, one of the problems) with the African Americans that are currently in the GOP ranks is that there simply aren't enough of them to make an impact. If more of us were willing to go out on a limb and completely abandon the Democratic party and register as GOPers, I think people would stand up and take notice.

Now this idea, I love!! History has shown that this is possible. It's happened before. It reminds me of a concept that one of my professors suggested in terms of Black people taking over a state. We simply all need to just move there. Naturally, the demographics will change and we will begin to control the government and other things. Not just move to the big cities, but all over the state. Pick a small state and just move there! Honestly, we can do the same thing with tht Republican party. However, we talk about it, instead of "being about it". Our big problem!!
