Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Announces Personal Endorsement of Governor Romney for President of the United States Contact: Ermias Alemayehu, 323-782-1980, 213-804-1872

LOS ANGELES, February 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, author, radio host and Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, announced this morning his personal endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States:

"I have never before endorsed a candidate for President of the United States, but the circumstances that have been placed upon us and the gravity of this election have caused me to come forward at this time.

"Love of God, family and country are the most important values in my life. All are under attack in America as never before. I believe that Governor Romney, though not without flaws in his record, is a decent, highly capable man who believes in these same values.

"I also understand that America as we know it will cease to exist if we continue our course of leaving our borders largely unprotected; and all other issues of contention will become moot. Governor Romney, through his statements and the recent addition of border enforcement warrior Professor Kris Kobach to his advisory staff, is indicating that he understands the severity of this issue.

"In contrast, Senator McCain has co-sponsored legislation to give amnesty to illegal aliens, and named open borders advocate and former member of Mexican President Vicente Fox's administration, Dr. Juan Hernandez, as his Hispanic Outreach Director.

"As for Senators Clinton and Obama, because of their lack of will to secure our borders, as well as their commitment to unrestricted abortion, increased taxes and regulation, and an appeasement strategy toward our enemies, are unworthy of endorsement consideration.

"My endorsement of Governor Romney is personal. I am in no way speaking on behalf of my organization, BOND. America is the greatest country in the world. I am committed to preserving and protecting it for future generations, and I believe today's endorsement is in keeping with that commitment."

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the host of "The Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show." The program airs M-F, 3-5 p.m. PST / 6-8 p.m. EST. For more information, visit www.bondinfo.org

Amen Rev. Peterson. I came to the same conclusion.

CLICK JESSE

Jesse Lee Peterson must be part of the Clear-Channel/Black-Helicopter conspiracy which has been out to get Mike Huckabee since he first declared.

I’m for Mitt now that everything seems to be shaking out - the way I see it the the Big TV Industry would prefer McCain in there v. Obama or Clintoon because it would be way easier to demonize him as a crusty old mean-spirited white man...with Romney this strategy would be impossible. Romney/Huckabee could be a formidable ticket appealing to the ordinary and leaving the Hollywood limo crowd for the “rock star” Hilary...

give it a rest.

Rev. Peterson drums the same beat as Dr. Bill Cosby - tells it like it is, tells the blacks to stop blaming the whites for all their ills - and he smacks down Jesse and Sharpton big time...

For anyone not familiar with Peterson, here's a couple links to start with.

As for anyone who says or thinks things like "Nothing like waiting til the last minute." - preface the charge with YOUR accomplishments in the area...

Well Mr. Maniac, I’m well aware of who Rev. Peterson is, and I have long been an admirer. It was simply my observation that the day before Super Tuesday is calling it a little close for an endorsement. It would be nice if conservatives like Rev. Peterson could have declared support for Romney (or Thompson or Hunter) a little earlier in the game. There’s a lot of people who vote early by absentee ballot, too. Sadly, it appears voters these days can’t make up their minds about the veracity of the candidates without assistance of slick campaign speeches, Madison Avenue commercials, endorsements from famous people, and the latest poll numbers to help them decide who they should vote for.
