Reaching Out to African-Americans
Star Parker, president of CURE, Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, offers this advice on how Republicans can win over the Black vote: Use the Black church.

Nationwide, there are 65,000 black churches, with more than 20 million members and $50 billion in revenues. Republicans need to build on this base, already with Bush on social issues, and help blacks make the logical connection between their faith and the importance of individual freedom and personal responsibility.The Democratic Party perpetuates its Black support by preaching fear and playing racial emotion to their favor, and they do a great job of it. The GOP faces a daunting task if they hope to ever change that. Parker suggests the best avenue that I've seen yet.
