Welcome to the African American Team

  Help President Bush and Republicans in Congress achieve their goals for the African American community. Take action today.  
 

 

From the founding of the Republican Party to today, African Americans have been central to the GOP. The leadership of President George W. Bush provides an opportunity for us to work together and better include everyone of all backgrounds in the Republican Party. Bringing African Americans back to the Party of Lincoln has been a central priority of President Bush, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, and is the mission of the RNC's African American Team Leader Outreach program. Working together with African Americans in communities across the country, we can make the Party of Lincoln stronger and more diverse than ever before.

Tax Relief

  • Allows 3 million African-American families to save more for their children’s needs by raising the Child Tax Credit from $600 to $1,000 per child this year.

  • Commitment to Bridging the Homeownership Gap

  • President George W. Bush signed the American Dream Downpayment Act which attacks the homeownership gap that exists across America by helping approximately 40,000 minority families each year with their down payment and closing costs. Homeownership among African Americans is at its highest rate ever.

  • Within the next decade an estimated 4.09 million full time jobs in construction and construction-related industries will be created. This increase in jobs represents over $150 billion in new wages.
