Please Note that Club will be Closed on Monday May 27th in Observance of Memorial Day Tuesday, May 14th, 11:00am - WNRC Book Club Meeting... The group will discuss "Coolidge" by Amity Shales. Wednesday, May 15th, 6:30pm - Movie Night at the Club ... This months feature is "Fear of A Black Republican.". Filmed and edited over a six year period, FEAR OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN examines why there are so few Black Republicans (and by extension, other Minorities) and how this affects the U.S. political system today. Today, barely 10% of African Americans consider themselves to be Republican and Urban areas are no longer considered competitive parts of America’s electoral map. Beginning in his hometown of Trenton, NJ, filmmaker Kevin Williams speaks with Democrats and Republicans while exploring the GOP’s efforts in urban areas versus the suburbs, the Democratic Party's success in retaining the African-American vote and Black Republicans’ experiences with Democrats and their own Party. The result is a moving film revealing a world that audiences won’t likely forget. Monday, May 20th, 6:00pm - Third Monday Speaker "Roger Stone"...Roger Stone is a legendary American Republican political consultant who has played a key role in the election of Republican presidents from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan to George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Described by The Hill as the “legendary conservative political hit man," the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd has credited Roger as "the keeper of the Nixon flame."
In 1976 Stone served as National Director of Youth for Reagan, a division of Governor Ronald Reagan's 1976 Presidential campaign. In 1978, Stone co-founded the National Conservative Political Action Com-mittee (NCPAC) where he is credited with developing the negative campaign into an art form and pio-neering the use of negative campaign advertising which Mr. Stone calls "comparative, educational, not negative."
