From New York City:
The Silent Majority attended two fabulous events this week!
Lt. Col. Allen West, who is running for Congress in Florida, spoke to the Young Republicans at the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club. And then the next day, at the Women’s Republican Club, the future of the Republican party was alive and well …showcased by the Black Republican Forum.
First we would like to recommend watching the video of Colonel West.

West is one fabulous speaker. Florida. The Country! Deserves more people like Allen West in Congress!
VOTE for Allen West if you are a Floridian. And remember, those of us from other states can show our support for our Republican candidates through contributions even if we can’t vote for them.
Then…the next day at the Black Republican Forum was even more amazing. There was no shortage of history. The real history of the Republican Party and how it has shaped the country for the better. No Zinn/Chomsky revisionst history permitted at this event.
There were so many in attendance. Candidates for Congress from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida and Massachusetts. And an exciting array of panelists and speakers.

The day flew by ending with a superb speech by the awesome Lynn Swann.
(see video here shortly of Lynn Swann’s speech).
CSPAN covered the Forum and there was press, but not enough press.
The Silent Majority noted there was an absence of the MSM. No surprises there. So the participation of blogs like Atlas Shrugs and HipHop Republican, The Gathering of Eagles and The Silent Majority reinforces how vital our presence and our reports can be.
The MSM tries to keep Forums like The Black Republicans ‘under-wraps’ . Not going to happen as long as we can fight back with a FREE Internet.
Pictures will be posted as well as a continuation of this report so be sure to return for more on the Black Republican Forum.
ALLEN WEST PING!
This guy is great! Where do we send the check??

We can be the Spartans under Leonidas at Thermopile, the French under Charles Martel at Tours, the Venetians at Lepanto or we can be the Byzantines at Constantinople. He gets it.
I’m not exactly flush with cash right now. I’ve never given a dime to a politician who would not be representing me. I’m not the type who falls in love with ANY politician and I don’t know if this guy has a snowball’s chance. I just got out my credit card and contributed to his campaign.
Let’s go people. He’s worth supporting.
Excellent!
Thank you for posting this.
The leftist media propagandists didn’t cover this event because they are a bunch of communists, and don’t have any use for any black person that isn’t a communist. They are loathesome, America hating filth.
He sounds great! I watched the video and was truly impressed. Anybody know his abortion position (pro-life, I hope)?
OMG!! I watched the video. What a great man!! THAT’S somebody to get excited about! That’s the kind of man whom I hope to see running for president someday!
BUMP!
This gets posted in my website http://www.theusmat.com/ because it answers the question I raise about black conservatives. The word has got to get out to Americans that the issue is not about race but about approaches to government
I like this guy. Sent him $50.
Please add me to your ping list.

Wouldn’t you just LOVE to see him debate the ONE?
BTTT
For some reason this video won’t play for me - which is pretty unusual. Any suggestions?
Fantastic speech.
Thanks for the post and the link.
Go WEST, everyone!
Exactly! And thank you!
Thank you, Raquel. I really liked what I heard of him. I live in Florida, but not his district. However, I’m going to donate something. I just wish we had more people like him in politics - intelligent, knowledgeable about history, and principled. He was really refreshing to hear.
