A large coalition of African-American pastors, snubbed by President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder in their demand for a meeting to discuss same-sex marriage, are calling on blacks to boycott the president and sign a petition demanding that the administration withdraw support for gay marriage. Poster Comment: If they want a queer pagan, they can vote for Willard Romney. 
Rev. William Owens, president of Coalition of African-American Pastors
“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,” said Rev. William Owens, president of the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors. “Some things are bigger than the next election.”
The pastors are angered with Obama’s recent endorsement of gay marriage. Obama did not, however, suggest that he would push for a federal mandate allowing same-sex marriages to take place.
Owens is the voice of a large segment of black pastors who support traditional marriage between a man and a women. “The Black church has always been the conscience of America, and today we are calling on black pastors and black Christians to withhold support from President Obama until he corrects course,” he said.
His group also started a petition to encourage Obama to change his mind. It’s called 100000signatures4marriage.com.
The group also called on the African, Methodist and Episcopal Church to denounce the president actions.
That seems unlikely since the AME Church Convention, which met in Nashville last week, had first lady Michelle Obama speak. In her address, she credited the civil rights advocacy of AME churches for paving a path for a black president. “My husband is in the White House today because of them,” she said.
Still, said Owens, “In the midst of this great moral struggle, we are also asking the great AME Church to reaffirm Biblical views on marriage that is between one man and one woman. The AME Church has not taken a position on this important issue in more than twenty years and it is time to get off the sidelines.”
Their opposition to gay marriage could influence how black churches turn out the vote for Obama.
“We were once proud of President Obama, but our pride has turned to shame,” said Owens.

African, Methodist and Episcopal are all one group now?!
I guess. Aren't the Episcopalians the gay ones?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Well I know that there are extremely liberal "methodists" and don't even know of any conservative methodists, and I know that episcopals are liberal and off the Gospel completely, but I thought there were still some predominately black churches that were pretty gospel oriented (Baptist, perhaps?), and couldn't imagine that a bunch of them had joined forces to combine an organization in to this "AME"? Is this for real, or just a sort of spoof on the three liberal, off Gospel, political, so called "churches"?
M is for marxist ! They aren't ashamed to be the dictatorship of the pc - affirmative action angels - proletariat ! There is only one name for people enamored of big government ... they are called “bigger-lovers” --- that’s close enough
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
So it should stand for African, Marxist Episcopalians? Why are the Methodists thrown in there then? (Not that they aren't as off Gospel as the Episco's)
They are to weak to know they are the ... pawns - tools of the devil - satanist --- communists !

Choosing and voting for a presidential candidate is like picking which STD you want to suffer from….
All of them or just most of them??
