Black Religious Group Plans $1 Million Campaign Against Obama's Support Of Gay Marriage

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."
