Throughout my activity and specifically in
the late 1970’s and entire 1980’s, and even today, GOP leaders in Union County,
NC and in most other locations across the USA reached out to minority black
communities with a promise for a “positive” growing “economic and social” value
improvements. Some listened. Most did not.
President Kennedy said, “And so, my fellow
Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for
your country”.
Rather than following the lead as President
Kennedy said, Capitol Hill Democrats and their Democrat Party leadership
offered more for nothing in return.
In a “free and open” economy, “all” who are
“physically and mentally” able of working must make every effort to offer employment
for themselves, their family, and their communities.
As the election results arrived on election
evenings, the black community continued to vote from 90% to as high as 97%

Black Pastors Group: Pride in Obama Has Turned to Shame
Friday, 06 Jul 2012 11:25 PM
A coalition of African-American pastors is calling on blacks to boycott President Barack Obama and sign a petition demanding that the administration withdraw support for gay marriage.
The group, the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors, says it was snubbed by Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder when it demanded a meeting to discuss same-sex unions. The group had requested the meeting last month.

“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,” Rev. William Owens, president of the Memphis-based coalition, said on Friday, The Washington Examiner reports. “Some things are bigger than the next election.”
The pastors are angered with Obama’s recent endorsement of gay marriage. But the president has not suggested that he would back federal legislation permitting same-sex marriage.
The coalition supports African-American pastors who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman.
“The black church has always been the conscience of America, and today we are calling on black pastors and black Christians to withhold support from President Obama until he corrects course,” Owens said.
His group also started a petition, 100000signatures4marriage.com. “We were once proud of President Obama, but our pride has turned to shame,” Owens said.
