Black Republicans talked about being Republicans. Each panelist spoke about his life and how he developed a political philosophy. They discussed how the philosophies of the Republican Party applied to life, the prejudice against being Republican, and answered the question "Why am I a Republican?". They also discussed other political issues and topics submitted by members of the audience. Mr. Greer then gave closing remarks. "Why Am I a Republican?" was a panel of the Florida's Black Republican Leadership Conference held at Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orland, Florida.
