Since February 3, 1870, when a Republican Congress ratified the 15th Amendment to insure African Americans had the right to vote, Black pastors have always encouraged their congregations to vote. Until 1908 they had advised voting for Republicans since they considered the GOP their natural home. In 1912 Woodrow Wilson and W,E.B. Dubois tricked African Americans into believing that Blacks were not making progress and it was the Republican’s fault.
For 100 hundred years to a greater and greater degree Blacks have voted Democrat. This year, in the oddest of twists, Barack Obama a Black man is on his way to ending the 100 year Democrat grip on African Americans.
Up until mid-May when Obama had his latest “evolution” to a favorable position on Gay “marriage” the only problem with the Black vote was some small concern about turnout. Obama’s new position changed that. Stunned and angry, many Blacks wanted Obama to reverse his position or at least meet with their clergy for a photo-op and a flimsy but plausible explanation. Obama did neither and this has infuriated a portion of the Black community and their clergy.
Because of Obama’s gaffe Mitt Romney and the Republicans are now in the best possible position regarding the Black vote. While some pastors are actually advising African Americans to cross over and vote for Romney, others are telling their followers to stay home and not vote. The importance of this development cannot be overstated: For the first time since 1870 Black ministers are advising their people not to vote.
Since Obama vaulted to victory on the strength of a 95% Black vote from a 65% turnout, any drop in either number will be fatal for Obama’s chances in many states. Moreover, while Obama won a huge Electoral College victory, he had less than 55% of the popular vote. This means a 3% switch – not hard to imagine for a president who celebrates an occasional 48% approval rating and is carrying 44 straight months of 8% unemployment- spells big trouble for him.

You know, article posts like this help continue racism. When you categorize a group of people based on their race, all it does is it keeps that mentality going. Americans are Americans, no matter what color their skin is.
If they do not vote, they will be allowing this administration to go ahead with their evil plans
We all need to try to stop it before it gets worse. PLEASE vote Republican.
to bad the white pastors of our land is still worring about their tax exempt statuses….thank god for these black american pastors……..

We are writing to request for your assistance for materials.Presently, we are greatly in need of 50 large print bibles especially for the elderly ones because of their sight.
Our members cannot afford to buy Bibles and many have not open it since their birth.We would need one or more reference Bibles.These materials will be helpful for our study and research.My wife is presently in need of a Giant Print Bible because of her reading difficulties of small letters.
Please see what you could do to help us, as we are greatly committed in witnessing, teaching and proclaiming the Good News of our Lord God Almighty, we have many numbers of false religions here. We want to reach these people with the truth from God. Jesus' return is near and thousands of people are searching for a new kind of life. Without materials we will not be able to evangelize effectively.
Websterhammer is right! Who would you rather have running this republic? A boring, Mormon, rich guy that knows what he is doing? OR a sociopathic, muslim, communist, narcistic , lying hypocrit that is also a racist? To stay at home is to vote for the latter. We all have to get out there and counter the illegal alien, voter fraud, acorn, moveon.org, votes to take back our country before mr. obama can steal another four years and finish the job!!
The race is far from complicated. Vote for Romney-Ryan if you oppose the USA becoming a seond rate socialist state controlled by the UN and the World Court. Obama will push hard to get both accomplished whether wins the election, or not. To date, he has had little opposition to his socialist government. Put two true Americans in the White House and stop our slide into socialist hell.
