Atlanta Young Republicans discuss how to beat Obama

At the group's most recent meeting, dozens attended and exchanged interesting ideas on how their party could win in November

Atlanta Young Republicans gathered a few weeks back for a monthly meeting at the westside's 5 Seasons Restaurant & Brewery located at 1000 Marietta Street.

The special invited guest was Timothy Johnson, an outspoken Republican supporter and former vice-chairman of the Republican party. He is the President and creator of The Frederick Douglass Foundation, which teaches across the country the true history of the Republican Party and the major role influential Blacks played in it.

His first message to the group was to be "politically direct, instead of politically correct." He wants young republicans to not be scared to speak the truth on how they feel about issues.
