The Republican Party I Remember and Admired On Display Because of Occupy Wall Street

It may be hard to believe as a Black Jew that I have Republicans in my family. My grandfather was an elected Republican Mayor and candidate for Congress. My own mother is a registered Republican (yes she is one of the 5 Black Republicans left).

The Republicans I know care deeply about the American people and want a better future, but one where we balance support with a critical look at the role of Government in that. Lovers of freedom, science and common sense; its a party they no longer know. They see a Republican party that increases freedom and takes on the powerful whether government or corporate who challenges that America.

That Republican party no longer exists, but maybe the Occupy Wall Street representing the 99 Percent is bringing it back.
