Remembering Dr. King

Although born in Nashville just days before Martin Luther King, Jr.'s tragic death in Memphis, my life and the life of my country have been shaped by Dr. King's vision of an America that was united by brotherhood and justice and that refused to be divided by race, color or creed.

Since those dark days of 1968, our nation has made tremendous progress towards his noble hope. While more work remains, his life and his service provide an ideal to which we should always aspire and which we should never forget.

    Dr. King must be as proud as can be looking down at yesterday's events. Neither party has been consistently on the right side of the issues regarding minority communities.

    There is a lack of minorities in the GOP today, not because of racism but because of cronyism. There is a lack of hard working, highly motivated, and extremely talented youth being brought in and embraced of all races, colors, faiths, and creeds.

    We need someone who can turn that dangerous tide within the Republican Party. That guy is you, Chip. Fight the good fight for all of us who want to change the direction of our party and our country!

    Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech ranks as one of the greatest speeches in our country's history. Our nation has made tremendous progress.

    dr king was a great republican and a beacon of strength to republicans and to all of man kind around the world.

    from fremont and abe to ike and the republican senators who wrote those early anti-discrimination laws republicans across the nation supported dr kings efforts.
