Trayvon Martin killing boosts Easter voter-registration drive
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 4/7/12 | Jeff Kunerth

On Palm Sunday, LaVon Bracy stood before the congregation of New Covenant Baptist Church in Orlando and announced plans to participate in an effort by 50,000 black congregations nationwide to register 1 million voters on Easter Sunday.

"All I'm asking for is any person willing to find one person to register to vote," said LaVon, wife of Pastor Randolph Bracy Jr. "We are trying to register as many people as possible. I expect great success next Sunday."

The mass voter-registration drive — calculated to take advantage of Easter's larger-than-normal Sunday attendance — is spearheaded by the Rev. Jamal Bryant, a Baltimore preacher. Bryant estimates there are as many as 5 million unregistered voters in the pews of America's black churches.

I wonder how fast Holder's people and the IRS would be on the Church if it was predominantly White in complexion...

Using a dead kid and a RISEN SAVIOUR to promote an administration that isn't with in a million miles of God.

Nothing to worry about really. They will vote 99.9% for Il Douche anyway, as they always have and always will. I don't want to hear another liberal talk about how we should all just be colorblind. That's for whites, and whites alone, a tool made just for (against) us. Every other race votes at least partly, if not wholly, on basis of race.

On that note, it's interesting that only white areas, white countries, are required to have "diversity" as a government policy.

Some very bright FR poster put this up in another thread:

There is a case here in SoCal about a 19 year old who was shot and killed by police after someone called the cops saying he had been robbed at gunpoint(turns out the gunpoint part was not true) the suspect was running from the police and he was shot. Now you would think that Jackson and Sharpton would be here yelling their crazy little hearts out, but not a peep from them..you would think they would be here, but then it hit me, California isn’t a swing state, Florida is, that is why the left is making such a big deal out of this particular case, because they need to win Florida badly, whatever they can do to disrupt elections and cause a race riot they think will work in their favor

And they had to go back almost a month to drag out this trumped-up case,
Meanwhile, the many many black on white crimes continue apace.

Yes. Exactly what we should be doing in our own congregations!

“You mean people have to register before they can vote?”

Only if you’re not voting for a democrat.

Unless they actually pay them or give away booze or cigarettes... or hold a free BBQ after the vote... these people my register but they will not get out of bed early enough to vote on election day. The problem is... racist dims will probably do all three things and more.

JESUS knows... HE will not be pleased... and that is something that is far more dangerous than the evil in this word... eternal damnation with no hope.

This is more evidence that the NBC lies trace back to Obama.

Let me guess Trayvon Martin’s name will be the first one on the list?.
