There’s trouble in the National Black Republican Association, I’m told. Writes Christopher Arps:
The organization and it’s current leadership is heading down a much different direction than was envisioned by myself and the other board members. I personally wish nothing but success for the organization.
According to Redding News Review, half the board resigned because of a Hurricane Katrina-related press release.
This is why I don’t like joining groups. People just can’t get along.

Update: Christopher Arps writes:
In today’s “Inside The Beltway” column in the Washington Times, the impression was mistakenly given that the resignations by the majority of the board was due to a lack of support for President Bush during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. This is not the case! The disagreement was a question of style and content of the press release more than the substance. I felt it was reprehensible for the congressional Black Caucus and similar groups to use the disaster for partisan advantage to foster more racial divide. In a time of such a momentous disaster, I felt the NBRA should take the high road and encourage our citizens to give their time, money, and other resources to help the victims of this tragedy. All have agreed on both sides of the political spectrum that the response by the federal government could have been quicker and more efficient. President Bush, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, has mobilized the people and resources of the federal government to help the people of the Gulf Coast try and get their lives and their families back to normal, and he is to be commended. I support President Bush and the leadership he has provided our nation over the last five years.
