From the Atlanta Black Star: "A non-profit group of African-American religious leaders has pledged
$1 million towards an ad campaign encouraging black voters to abandon
President Barack at the polls in November because of his support for gay
marriage. The group God Said aims to strip Obama of 25 percent of his
African-American support by asking voters not to cast a ballot by
political affiliation, but rather to vote 'their biblical values.'"
The article continues: "On Tuesday, the newly formed group announced its plan to target
voters with radio and TV ads in the swing states of Ohio, Virginia,
North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Florida, according to The Daily Caller. Their efforts could prove damaging in a tight presidential race in
which the president is going to need every vote from his base if he is
to receive a second term in the White House. 'The black community is among the most religious
in America,' founder Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani told The Daily Caller
in a statement. 'We are offended that President Obama has announced his
support of same-sex marriage, that the NAACP has blindly supported the
secular views of the Democratic Party and that their national platform
plainly supports same-sex marriage. I am confident this message will be
well received and acted upon on Election Day.'"
More about the black conservative group: "According to the group’s website — which features an ominous video
preaching that 'God said marriage equals one man and one woman' — its
founders hope to 'impact the social and cultural climate; to bring about
a notable, non-partisan support of natural marriage and natural family
life in the African-American community and society as a whole.' In addition to Kamau-Imani, the executive board of God Said also
includes former Miss America contestant Day Gardner, and Alveda King,
the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King."
