Topic: Reaching minorities by finding common ground

Christian conservative movement is losing ground, in recruiting the rapidly growing part of our population, i.e., minorities!

-          20% of U.S. population are Hispanic Americans (voting 8:2 progressive);

-          18% of U.S. population are African Americans (9:1);

-          6% of U.S. population are Asian Americans (7:3).

-          The above 3 minorities are already 44% of U.S. population today, and is projected to become the majority, in 10-15 years, for the first time in U.S. history!

-          Over 40% of progressives are minorities;

-          Less than 10% of conservatives are minorities.

-          Medium age of whites = 58

-          Asians = 29

-          African Americans = 27

-          Hispanic Americans = 11

This group discussion forum focuses on two questions:

1. WHAT are the most important issues, for Latino Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans?

2. HOW could we better reach out to them, to find common ground and build relationship?
