Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Dr. King who led the fight for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 found a greater percentage of Congressional Republicans willing to help him get it passed than Democrats. Consequently our party has much to 
celebrate on January 15th each year.
Our party leaders authored and passed the 14th 15th & 16th Amendments without the support of one single Democrat Member of Congress.
Jared Woodfill Harris County Republican Party Chairman
Please take a moment to watch a video to hear what some of your fellow party members who are young black and conservative have to say about being a Republican. January 15 2011 marks the 82nd birthday of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Long before Dr. Kings birth and long before he spoke those now famous words members of the Republican Party embodied his spirit & took up the fight for equal opportunity for all people. While the Democrat Party fought against abolishing slavery the Republican Party
was established specifically to end it & extend constitutional rights to all people including women.
Our countrys enduring contribution to the world is freedom. We have spent blood and treasure in order to make sure people are judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Young people in our party regardless of race ethnicity gender or class want to see our party continue to champion this cause which Dr. King and others so nobly advanced.
Our party is committed to reaching out to the next generation of Americans regardless of color or creed 
to inviting them to affiliate and participate with us.
What better day to reaffirm our partys commitment to freedom and the Constitution than on Dr. Kings Birthday.
