Press Conference:
Friend --
Blacks all over the nation are not happy with President Obama.
Right now, a group of black pastors are pushing to meet with the president about him redefining our oldest institution: the family.
But instead of meeting with them himself, he is sending a team to lecture them!
He’s commanded Attorney General Eric Holder, the crooked Charlie Rangel and Emanuel Cleaver, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus -- who is also an ordained minister -- to tell the pastors to get back in line.
The socialist left knows they can’t push liberal policy without the black pastors. So like magicians, they trick them through sleight of hand and manipulate them with fear.
Why? To reaffirm that all blacks are victims who need government protection and need to be served!
They tell them that whites are taking away their voting rights in key states such as Texas, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Arizona.
They tell them that the families in their congregations are falling apart because they don’t have enough government programs to help them.
They tell them that their young men die from crime and go to prison because of institutionalized racism.
These lies have to stop.
These pastors need to hear the truth from me -- they’ve been sent to the back of the bus!
Every Sunday, I want the pastors to look into the sea of faces who are listening to their every word -- waiting to hear from them how to order their lives -- and I want the pastors to stand up for them.
I want the pastors to say to themselves: "what’s good for Obama, Holder, Cleaver and the liberal elite is not good for my flock!"
That’s why I’m calling on you to urgently help me.
It’s time we stand up!
Friend, I need to be there to tell the pastors that America, her ideals and freedom, is what lifted me out of poverty, not the government handouts that I lived on and off for seven years. Handouts are simply methods sustained by liberals to keep their voters addicted and to keep them in office.
I need to tell them that only when I abandoned and rejected socialist programming -- that I was told would help me -- did I find America. The same America that I was taught not to trust, that was only for the rich.
Instead of telling our black pastors to spread the message of racism and fear and distrust of our country, I need to tell them to spread the message of freedom and prosperity, that America is for everyone.
The liberals are right, though, the black pastors are the key to advancing their disastrous agenda. So imagine when we reach millions of more Americans who’ve bought the lie of the Left for nearly half a century and convert them to the truth about America.
Through the pastors we can reach millions of more Americans sitting in the pews, and we can fight the political, moral and spiritual assault on our nation.
Imagine when there are more Americans like me who used to believe the leftist lies, eventually stand up and defend our country instead of throwing it away for a handout.
Friend, I’ve been working for 20 years to spread my message of freedom and I’m now seeing the fruit of this most difficult labor:
-- Our black pastors are rebelling against a socialist government.
-- We have more black conservatives in Congress than ever.
-- I expect even more black conservatives will be elected to Congress this November.
I’m not stopping now.
Right now, there are 240 pastors in my network. Imagine what will happen when we increase it to 540 pastors around the country by November!
Will you stand by my side once again and help me expand my black pastor network by November? Supporters like you have also seen how important this goal of mine truly is. They’ve already contributed $4,347 towards the $33,850 that I need to meet by June 26 to make it happen.
Please click and follow this link to make an immediate contribution of $50, $100, $250, $550, $1,500 or even $3,500 and let’s reach out to the Americans in our urban communities who’ve been told to sit at the back of the bus and keep our mouths shut!
