A new political action committee (PAC) has been formed
to run conservative black candidates against liberal black members of
Congress.
Bishop
E.W. Jackson, Sr., has set up the Stand America PAC to
challenge members of the Congressional
Black Caucus. Jackson tells OneNewsNow that that contingent of
lawmakers does not represent black Americans.
"They are pro-abortion, they are pro-homosexuality, they are pro-gay
marriage — and the black community doesn't agree with any of these
things…and it is time [those lawmakers] were challenged," he vows.
"[O]ur PAC is going to challenge them, recruit candidates, and
ultimately see to it that they are defeated, and that the black
community has an alternative leadership to look to."
According to Jackson, members of the Congressional Black Caucus have
insulted the black community by "conflating the black struggle for civil
rights with the demands of radical homosexuals for marriage and other
rights." That, he says, is "one of the most preposterous frauds ever
perpetrated on a people."
Consequently,
the bishop says he is "declaring war" on the Democratic Party and
expects his PAC's candidates will be running as Republicans or
Independents.
"The Democrat Party [sic] has become a coalition of the
godless, and it has a death grip and it is a curse on the black
community — and it is about time that that death grip was broken and
that curse was broken," says the Harvard Law School graduate.
The PAC is currently in the process of raising funds and selecting
candidates to endorse in congressional races, but is looking forward to
expanding into state and local races in the future.
