Nearly two years removed from the election of President Barack Obama, a subtle but remarkable political revolution has been set in motion. A cadre of black political candidates is angling to assume its place in Washington - as registered Republicans.

While she was not the first proponent of Women’s Rights, Susan B. Anthony was amongst the earliest of The Women’s Rights Advocates. Born on February 15th, 1820 in West Grove, Massachusetts she was the second oldest of seven brothers and sisters. Susan B. Anthony had two brothers named Daniel Read Anthony and Jacob Merritt Anthony who were the fourth and seventh in the birth order respectively. Her sisters were named Guelma, Hannah, Mary, and Eliza. Susan Brownell Anthony’s parents had been named Daniel Anthony and Lucy Read. Daniel Sr. was an open-minded Quaker who was both a cotton manufacturer and an abolitionist. This dichotomy was not usual for his day since the popular belief had been that the institution of Slavery was needed to cultivate, pick, and to spin cotton into fabric.

Save for a special election in Florida’s 19th congressional district, the May special election in Hawaii’s 1st congressional will be the next snapshot of American popular opinion on the road to the November elections this year. FrumForum sat down with Charles Djou, the Republican candidate in this upcoming race.

Unlike Florida-19, which was won by President Obama by over thirty points in 2008, Hawaii-1 looks to be a district where voter dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party could lead to a Republican pick-up. While still quite blue (D+15 in the Cook Partisan Voting Index), Hawaii’s 1st congressional district has gone to the GOP in the last four governor’s races.

Further, the special election is set up in winner-take-all format, meaning that there are no primaries. With two, maybe three Democrats in the race, Djou thinks that Hawaii-1 could be the inverse of one closely-followed special election in upstate New York: “I think that my special election could essentially be the inverse of the New York-23 election, with the Democrats splitting the vote.”

Hiram Leong Fong (Chinese: 鄺友良, Kuàng Yǒuliáng), born Yau Leong Fong (October 15, 1906 – August 18, 2004), was an American businessman and politician from Hawaii.

The National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP) is the premier resource for oral history interviews with African American elders who shaped the 20th century. Recently, they sat down with former Sen. Edward Brooke to discuss his life in the Republican Party.

The stunning win of Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race Tuesday has sent shock waves throughout the political world. But, as usual with tectonic shifts like this, everyone is totally misreading what happened.

Republicans have every reason to be crowing today and Democrats have every reason to be depressed. I would call what happened Tuesday night the “Browning” of America. The people of Massachusetts spoke with their votes that they are more interested in results, not party labels.

The problems both parties face is not with their bases, but with independent voters. There are more independent voters than there are Democrats or Republicans. In Massachusetts, 51% of the electorate is independent. The “Browning” effect is going to force both parties to come to the political center. That is the lesson from Tuesday vote. Any other spin is simply nonsense.

Democratic form of racism is more insidious and more vile because it hides behind a veil of altruism.

After crossing the country to serve as civil-rights chief for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Winston Wilkinson has announced plans to pursue a more familiar political path in his home state: Running for the Salt Lake County Council.

I believe innocent life should be defended at all costs and the guilty should be punished. I believe this country has the right to defend itself preemptively, and I believe for the most part we make an effort to do so as honorably as possible without compromising our safety, and while that may not always meet the standards of international laws it meets the standard of the Constitution and that’s golden by me. I believe the money we earn is ours, and only what is absolutely needed should go into taxes for social programs that we know work or are incentive based. I believe charity should be a product of free will, and its best when it is a product of free will going where the individual intends it, doing what they designate, and going to those they believe deserve it. This is the core of conservatism. It is good. And I choose to live it.

The New York Times reported that Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine voted against the health care overhaul. Back in fall, she was the only Republican to vote for the bill in committee.

It took less than two hours after Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., announced that he’s retiring from Congress for Republican state Rep. Jaime Herrera to tell GOP officials that she is running to succeed him.Herrera is only 31, but already has extensive experience in politics. She worked as a Political Affairs intern in the Bush White House, and as a legislative assistant to U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rogers.

“Republican party officials have held conversations with her before Baird’s retirement, and are excited about her candidacy,” reported the Politico Web site.

As a Black Muslim, I can’t sign on with Al Queda et. al because they’d gladly blow up every house of worship that didn’t subscribe to their philosophy and would take out the Apollo Theater; every historically Black college and university and who knows what else. In their eyes, few of us make the final cut and consequently that’s a team I can’t support. This country is my home and I take attempts to threaten it very seriously.
