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 implore the Black community to vote for the Country, not hyper-partisanship. We are one Country.

The word is despicable. And stupid - voting for those who champion the slaughter of their unborn and the butcher of their young men (ages 14-25).

You mean people have to register before they can vote?

No better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ than to devote the Easter church service to politics.

Bryant estimates there are as many as 5 million unregistered voters in the pews of America’s black churches.

And they’re all called Trayvon Martin.

That sword can cut both ways. Imagine traditionally conservative evangelical, Baptist, Missouri synod, RC, Eastern rite, etc. churches doing this across the nation.

They should “use” all the aborted dead kids to get people to vote Dem, too.

[wait...they already do that...never mind]

These clowns don’t need to register for the Dems. The Dems already registered them without their knowing.

It’s time to split this country as we cannot co-exist with these brain-dead libtards.

so... politics in church...

wasn’t there recently a set of churches being threatened by 0failure and crew for daring to speak of political subjects in their churches?

i’m sure we’ll see 0failure send holder to clamp down on his people and their tax free status as political churches... right?

as a side note... i say those on the right should do the same. 2 million +

I call it Michael Jackson syndrome. Michael could have thrown his kid from the balcony and “they” would still love him.

They would get their tax exempt status revoked if they tried it but Black churches will get away with it.
