Big and oppressive government has long been the enemy of freedom, something black Americans know all too well.

We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.

The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.

And when the time is right, I hope that African Americans will again look to the party of emancipation, civil liberty, and individual freedom.

We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white.

All black Americans have slave names. They have white names; names that the slave master has given to them.
