Reeling from back-to-back presidential losses and struggling to cope with the country’s changing racial andethnic makeup, the Republican National Committee plansto spend $10 million this year to send hundreds of partyworkers into Hispanic, Black and Asian communities topromote its brand among voters who overwhelmingly supported Democrats in 2012.

Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday alsoproposed shortening the presidential nominating calendar in2016 and limiting the number of primary-season debates toavoid the self-inflicted damage from inside-party squab-bling on the eventual nominee. Priebus’ top-to-bottomchanges include picking the moderators for the debates andthen crowning the nominee as early as June so he or shecould begin a general election campaign as quickly as possible.

“Mitt Romney was a sitting duck for two months overthe summer,” Priebus said of the 2012 GOP nominee.

To help his party ahead of the 2016 contest already in its earliest stages, Priebus said he would be hiring newstaffers to build the GOP among voters in the states.

“It will include hundreds of people — paid — across the country, from coast-to-coast, in Hispanic, African-American, Asian communities, talking about our party,talking about our brand, talking about what we believe in,going to community events, going to swearing-in ceremonies, being a part of the community on an on-goingbasis, paid for by the Republican National Committee, tomake the case for our party and our candidates,” Priebus said.

That move was part of the recommendations included ina month’s long look at what went wrong in 2012. Priebustapped a handful of respected party leaders to examine howthe GOP could better talk with voters, raise money fromdonors and learn from Democrats’ tactics. Priebus alsoasked the group to examine how they could work with inde-pendent groups, such as super political action committees.

Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary under formerpresident George W. Bush, and Sally Bradshaw, a veteranstrategist and top adviser to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush,were among those leading the inquiry. Republican NationalCommitteeman Henry Barbour, a GOP strategist andnephew of former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, wasalso part of the group.

The biggest hurdle has been cleared on the path to a newstadium for the Atlanta Falcons as the Atlanta City Council voted late Monday night to approve a funding plan for the new$1 billion retractable roof stadium.Falcons owner Arthur Blank called it ''a win-win'' and earlier

promised that the new stadium will help the city continue to compete for all major events, including the Super Bowl. ''That'sthe only secret ballot in the NFL,'' he said. ''We'll have to earn it.But this public support is an important piece.''Mayor Kasim Reed called the arrangement ''a great

public-private partnership'' that will benefit the city and the state.The council voted 11-4 in favor of using city hotel-motel taxes

to pay an estimated $200 million toward construction costs andpotentially several times that toward costs of financing, maintaining and operating the stadium through 2050.

All things considered, the cost to the public could actuallyend up being closer to $900 million. Through principal and inter-est payments, the hotel-motel tax could be as much as $450 millionover 30 years and, according to projections cited by the AJC, another $450 million could go to the stadium over the years for operations and expenses through a "waterfall" fund.The $200 million number is a conservative estimate of the

cost. The money going toward the stadium comes from the 39.3percent of Atlanta's 7-cents-per-dollar hotel-motel tax that ismandated by state law to go to the Georgia World Congress Cen-ter Authoirty or a stadium project. In light of those numbers, CityCouncilmember Aaron Watson said he would no longer charac-terize the public contribution to the project as only the $200 mil-lion toward upfront construction..

Republicans to Spend $10 Million to Reach MinoritiesPage 1

Falcon’s Stadium Deal Clears City Council HurdlePage 1

RNC members Zori Fonalledas of Puerto Rico and GlennMcCall of South Carolina rounded out the five-person committee that listened to Republicans’ ideas andfrustrations.Exit polls indicated Obama carried female, Black,

Hispanic and Asian voting blocs. He also won amongvoters under the age of 45 and those who lived in mid- tolarge-sized cities.

That spells troubles for the GOP in a nation that is increasingly diverse. The latest census data and pollingfrom The Associated Press suggest non-Hispanic Whiteswill lose their majority in the next generation, somewherearound the year 2043.

In 2010′s elections, Republicans enjoyed the biggestmidterm gains since 1938 and became the majority party in

the U.S. House. Yet two years later, Democrats captured thebiggest prize in American politics, the presidency, andpicked up seats in both of Congress’ chambers. Despitesolid fundraising from the party and quick work from Rom-ney after he won the nomination, the GOP couldn’t over-

come Obama’s four-year head start and on-the-groundorganization.“We have become a party that parachutes into communi-

ties four months before an election,” Priebus said. “TheObama campaign lived in these communities for years.”

"I, for one, haven't heard much discussion of what the entireamount is going to be over the next 30 years," Watson said,adding he "had taken some comfort" in the $200 million figurebut "had been nervous the number was actually more."The contract to build the stadium is based on the

framework of a deal announced on March 7 at City Hall, whichcame after months of private negotiations -- and several years of planning and studies -- involving thegovernor's office, the World Congress Center Authority and themayor's office, among others.

After last week's stadium deal announcement City Council President Ceasar C. Mitchell said he was encouraged and promised public hearings in the near future.Those meetings never happened and the City Council held

only one open public forum about the project, at which formerAtlanta Mayor Andrew Young voiced support for it, saying thestadium was "another opportunity that gives [Atlanta] a chance to shape the future."Common Cause Georgia, a government accountability and

advocacy group, however, claims that the entire project has beenput together behind closed doors and the public has been misled.

"You're left very clearly with the negotiating parties excluding the public while including the public's money," Common Cause Board Member Wyc Orr has said in earlier statements.

America at the Tipping PointWelcome to the new off-White America.A historic decline in the number of U.S. Whites and the

fast growth of Latinos are blurring traditional Black-Whitecolor lines, testing the limits of civil rights laws and reshap-ing political alliances as ``Whiteness'' begins to lose its nu-merical dominance.

The latest census data and polling from The AssociatedPress highlight the historic change in a nation in which non-Hispanic Whites will lose their majority in the next generation, somewhere around the year 2043.

Despite being a nation of immigrants, America's tip to aWhite minority has never occurred in its 237-year history and

will be a first among the world's major post-industrial societies.

``The American experience has always been a story ofcolor. In the 20th century it was a story of the Black-Whiteline. In the 21st century we are moving into a new off-Whitemoment,'' says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco, a global expert onimmigration and dean of UCLA's Graduate School of Education & Information Studies.

``Numerically, the U.S. is being transformed. The question now is whether our institutions are being transformed,'' he said.

ATL Aims for AuburnAvenue Development The Sweet Auburn area of Atlanta has received an economic

development designation that city leaders hope will help spurrevitalization in the district.The neighborhood along Auburn Avenue just east of

downtown was a cradle of Atlanta's African-American wealthand political clout. It includes Martin Luther King Jr.'s boyhoodhome and other civil rights landmarks.

The area was recently designated as Atlanta's latest Opportunity Zone.The classification enables certain state tax incentives for

businesses that expand in the zone, with credits of $3,500 perjob available for the creation of as few as two net new jobs.

When Sarah (name withheld) came toOur House, she was living in a homeless shel-ter with her 4-month-old daughter, jobless and abandoned by the baby’s father.All she hoped for, she says, was a job thatwould allow her to get out of the shelter and beable to pay bills.Today she is in the Master’s Program at

Emory University and currently employed parttime at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and asa Research Associate at Emory. “The person at Emory who showed me I

could do this I met through my family advo-cate right here at Our House,” says Sarah .“People ask me how did I do it… it’s

because I had Our House. I trusted them withmy baby. I trust the people here,” she adds.“They were with me all the way.”

Our House is celebrating its 25th anniver-sary helping to end homelessness throughcomprehensive support services and earlychildhood education.

"We are proud of our 25 years of providinga place where homeless children can learn andget a great start on their lives and education,"said Tyese Lawyer, Our House executive di-rector, “and where their parents can find thesupport they need to ‘break the chains ofhomelessness.’”

Our House was founded in 1988 by agroup of shelter volunteers who saw a need toassist homeless women with their childcareneeds. The women were required to vacatehomeless shelters each morning with theirchildren in tow and not return until theevening.

“These women had to juggle finding a job,securing a home, acquiring job training andgetting access to mainstream benefits, all whilecaring for their children. They did not havedependable, affordable childcare assistance,”Lawyer says.The reality is that homelessness most nega-

tively impacts the children involved, she notes.Statistics show more than 41,500 children ex-perience homelessness in Georgia every year.

Additionally, 16 percent of homeless childrenare not as proficient at reading and math astheir classmates and fewer than 25 percent goon to graduate from high school.

Our House, a 2013 Martin Luther King Jr.Community Service Award recipient, has as itsprimary objective to make certain every childthat comes to them is school ready. The stu-dents are taught in small classrooms that aregeared towards providing more structure forthose students who may have emotional andbehavioral issues and developmental and cog-nitive needs. The children who attend the pro-gram range from infant to Pre-K.The teachers at Our House use a creative

curriculum in their classrooms that is focusedon supporting the development of pre-literacyskills, self-help skills, confidence and re-siliency all geared towards helping the chil-dren to accelerate in kindergarten once theyleave the program.

“As a mother, you want the best for yourchild, and with Our House, they have ad-vanced with my son, and I can see when myson hits kindergarten, he will be ready,” saysIvory (name withheld) whose 5-year-old sonattends the program. “That’s what Our Housedoes for my child from the time I leave himhere until the time I come to pick him up.”

The highly-anticipated new Tyler Perry flick “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” previewed in Hotlanta this week at a star-studded event that brought paparazzi out of the woodwork.The movie officially opens on March 29 and stars

Jurnee Smollet-Bell (“The Great Debaters”), Lance Gross("House of Payne"), Robbie Jones ("90210"), Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Williams and Brandy Norwood.

Writer-director-actor Tyler Perry spoke of what he hopes is his "most thought-provoking" movie yet, and gave high marks to his young cast. He also singled outKardashian, who attended the opening sporting her babybump and “baby’s daddy” Kanye West. "Kim was very, very professional from Day 1," said Perry.The director also noted that this premiere was special

because it was in his studio's homebase, and the ATLseemed a little shocked by all the "paparazzi snapping

pictures through the trees." Perry joked that while such be-havior was normal in New York or L.A., "This is Atlanta.You get your ass kicked doing that down here."But in a more serious vein,

Perry said the film takes itstone from the subject matter:"It's about relationships andbad choices, and about how one moment can ruin your life."Smollet-Bell plays Judith,

an ambitious, married womanwho is tempted into adulteryby a sexy billionaire namedHarley (Jones). In the trailer,Harley is ruthless in his pursuit of Judith, capitalizingon her vulnerabilities and herhusband Brice’s (Gross) inat-tentiveness. Harley wines anddines her, flies her around onhis private jet, heals hersprained ankle, and offers hermind-blowing passion. Butthings get violent as her husband finally starts to noticethat things are different, andHarley’s chivalrous facadestarts to crumble.The haunting words,

presumably spoken from Judith’s mother, “That man is going to hurt you bad… he’sgoing to take you straight to hell,” foreshadow a tragic,Shakespearean end.

Historic Atlanta Churches in the Way of New StadiumAssociated Press

Members of two historic Atlantachurches in the path of a proposed newNFL stadium are considering their options.

Mt. Vernon Baptist Church is in the middle of the favored site for the AtlantaFalcons' new home, just south of the Georgia Dome.Friendship Baptist Church is just across

Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, which wouldhave to be rerouted through the church'sproperty to make way for the new stadium.

Both congregations now face theweighty decision on whether to sell out tomake way for a new stadium -- and if so forhow much.“There’s no exact details yet on a

proposal,” Lloyd Hawk, who chairs Friendship’s board, said at a recent service.“And when we do, we will bring to the congregation a vote to decide. We are aBaptist church, and at a Baptist church alldecisions go to the congregation.”

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Blankboth say they prefer the site near thechurches, which would keep the stadiumabout as close as the Dome is to MARTA

and CNN Center. But they’re holding anoption for a site about a half-mile north ifnegotiations with the churches fail.

The churches have storied histories inthe city.

The late Mayor Maynard Jackson's father once preached at Friendship Baptist,a congregation whose history dates to theearly days of the American Civil War.Morehouse College housed classes in thecongregation in 1879 and Spelman began inthe church's basement two years later.

Mt. Vernon, which began as a storefrontchurch in 1915, moved several times beforelanding at the property near the GeorgiaDome, including a 1955 move because ofroad expansion.

The negotiations are ongoing as otherdetails of the stadium agreement crystallize.Georgia World Congress Center officialsare invited to speak at Mt. Vernon on March26. And city officials have already met several times with Friendship’s leaders tostart hashing out a deal.

“I’m confident we’ll get somethingdone,” said Reed.

Michael Vick Returns to Atlanta for Church Appearance

Just days after cancellingbook signings due to deaththreats, Michael Vick made aspecial appearance at a StoneMountain church last week.

It's been several years since Vick was convicted ondog fighting charges. He'ssince worked to try to changethings, and last Saturday hebrought his message back tothe Atlanta area.

Vick received a warm reception at the Victory for the World church, where he encouraged teens to make theright choices and avoid having to get second chances.

"I'm glad to be back," Vicktold the congregation. "Everydecision counts, it's very important to think before you speak, think before you act, and kind of depend on the people who really believe in you."

Vick was invited by Team Freedom Outreach, a program that works with teensin youth detention centers. The appearancecame days after Vick cancelled book signings in Atlanta and two other states.He's been promoting his autobiography, "Finally Free."

Vick's book "Finally Free" shows how agifted athlete's life spiralled out of controlunder the glare of money and fame, aided by his own poor choices.

In his own words, Vick details his regrets,his search for forgiveness, the moments ofunlikely grace—and the brokenness thatbrought his redemption on the way to a surprising, fairy-tale season with thePhiladelphia Eagles in 2010. Vick says hewants to be remembered for so much more.

"I want to be remembered as a guy whonever gave up -- whether with my family,out on the football field, in a prison cell, or playing one-on-one basketball withsomebody in the neighborhood -- standingfirm in God always, pushing through, even in my darkest moments."

As I write, Chaka Khan’s empowering “I’m Every Woman” loops in my head – like a soundtrack.(By the way, have you seen her lately? All slim, trim and more fabulous than ever). It’s Women’s His-tory Month and the lyrics to that iconic anthem should be resonating with all women, and those wholove us, as we celebrate ourselves and the countless contributions we make everyday – both large andsmall -- that keep the world turning.No matter how small or far-reaching the radius of your world is every choice you make is important.

Nielsen shines the light on women’s choices and our dynamic impact as consumers with two newglobal reports: Does Gender Matter and 10 Things to Know About Today’s Female Consumer.I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – “Vive la différence.” Yes, we know that girls are just as

smart as boys and women can do pretty much everything a man can – but, like it or not – our brains arewired differently. And, that’s OK. Women are master multitaskers, and there’s a scientific reason forthat. Who knew, right? Nielsen’s NeuroFocus research shows that “ability” is driven by what happens to developing brains

in the womb. Traits like big-picture thinking and multitasking are hard-wired in women’s brains, alongwith “gut” reasoning, social and verbal skills and the worry/empathy tendency. We balance work (eitheroutside or in the home), take care of our families – nurture, budget, shop, schedule, run hither and yon –and keep it tight with ourselves as best we can. Men’s brains, on the other hand, are pre-conditioned forconcrete thinking, goal-oriented tasks, logical solutions and competition/defense. (Cheryl’s translation:give them one thing to do at a time if you really want something to get done).How we think and respond influences the way companies and advertisers design their messages to us

to achieve their economic bottom line. See how much power we have? These types of insights tellthem that women respond to concepts that are authentic. Touch our hearts and you might earn our dollars. Even those of us who may be tomboys at heart, messages that focus on conflict simply aren’tgoing to resonate. And, you know how we love a bargain and will hunt high and low to find the best price? That’s

something American women have in common with our sisters around the world. A Nielsen survey ofmore than 29,000 people with internet access in 58 countries shows that we women are browsers, nomatter where we live – going for the best deal (in the store or online) while men are more likely to pay ahigher price. That’s because men are typically on a mission to just win (uh, get the item no matterwhat).

Here and across the globe, women are responsible for $12 trillion of the $18 trillion of global buyingpower. So, if marketers want our business, they need to offer products and services that reflect ourneeds. Consider these facts: • Women worldwide are optimistic about their roles, with 90% reporting they believe their role is

changing for the better.• Worldwide, 70% of women surveyed have cut household spending over the past year in clothes,

gas, electricity and entertainment outside the home.• Women in the U.S. spend significantly more time on social media sites than men. We’re online

users of social media 44% more than men; and visit social media sites on our mobile devices 39% morethan men.• African-American women between 18-35 are 72% more likely to publish a blog or express our

preferences online via links or “likes” than the average adult in this country.• In the United States, African-American households are 127% more likely to include a single par-

ent – usually a woman. (These are my people, as I am one of them, and I live by the mantra, ‘If Mamaain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy’).

There’s so much more wonderful information on www.nielsenwire.com that affirms women’spower and influence as consumers. Take time to visit the site during March, and feel free to belt out acouple of lines along with Chaka, “I’m every woman. It’s all in me . . .”

Cheryll Pearson-McNeil is senior vice president of public affairs and government relations forNielsen. For more information and studies go to www.nielsenwire.com.

March 21 - 27, 2013VIEWPOINTSwww.ADWnews.com

This past week was full of activities that I want to share with you. I went to TylerPerry’s house after a private screening of his new movie, “Temptation, Confessions of aMarriage Counselor.” I saw a world premiere opera by the Capitol City Opera Company titled “The Secret Agent.” And, I heard a panel of women talking about the challenges ofbalancing work and family courtesy of the YWCA.And through all three of these vastly different experiences, I came away with the same

feeling: women have a hard row to hoe. In both the movie and the opera, the charactersshowed that one wrong move can ruin your life. At the real-life YWCA event, the womenagreed that the “do all, be all syndrome” is a constant struggle and generally a losing battle.

Now I don’t want to ruin your movie experience, (Tyler Perry’s newest opens the end ofthis month.) but I will say he has no mercy for his character. She knows she’s about tomake a bad choice, but makes it anyway. At the screening, Perry said he wanted us to beambassadors for the movie. He added that he wanted us to carry the message of the movie.Even if you make a bad choice, you always have a chance to redeem yourself.Thank goodness for that. But in his right vs. wrong world, it can be terribly difficult tocome back from the abyss.

I will say I enjoyed watching the stunningly talented Jurnee Smollett-Bell navigate herway through hell and back. I also think Vanessa Williams had the best line of the movie.Madea could not have said it better. But Lord, the women in this movie definitely had ahard luck life, all dependent on men who let them down.

Then, there were the real life experiences shared by a panel of executive women including Rabbi Analia Bortz, also a medical doctor; Nita Sardana, vice president of American Cyber Systems; Alvetta Peterman Thomas, president of Atlanta Technical College; and Jannet Walker, vice president CH2MHill. The panel was moderated by Monica Richardson, managing editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In response to a question about barriers to leadership for women, Atlanta Tech’s Thomas said the job she has now would have been too demanding to do and raise her children at the same time. “Women get ill because of stress,” she noted. “It will kill you.”As a woman, she said she has learned to say no to things and, “give my best when I do sayyes.”

CH2MHill’s Walker added that in some cases, the “glass ceiling” that keeps womenfrom breaking through has given way to the “sticky floor,” – including self- imposed barriers like picking family over career.

And finally, the opera premiere had a lot of wonderful voices, but the plot unveiled avery bad ending for the lead woman. She was a devoted wife, sister to a special needsbrother, but ultimately got played for a fool by her husband and an almost lover. It wasclassic operatic tragedy.So to all my girlfriends out there, keep your head up and be careful. It’s rough out here.
