Vote on principle and character over skin color. Obama's actions should
open the eyes of the black community.

Rev. William Owens, head of the Coalition of African American Pastors, said
that President Obama’s support for gay marriage may cost him the election
due by weakening his support among black voters.
“He has not done a smart thing and it might cost him the election,” Owens
said during a press conference today at the National Press Club today.
“There are more people that want marriage to be right than there are
homosexuals.”
Owens, who said he supported Obama in 2008, announced that CAAP is
launching a “Mandate for Marriage” campaign around the country to urge
black voters to withhold their support from Obama unless he retracts his
support for gay marriage.
Owens said that supporters of traditional marriage, not gay marriage, face
discrimination. “Some people are saying because of the position that
Chick-Fil-A has taken that they don’t want them in their city,” Owens
noted. “It’s a disgrace. It’s the same thing that happened when I was
marching for civil rights — when they didn’t want a black in their
restaurant, they didn’t want us staying in their hotels. Now they’re
saying, because we take a Christian position, they don’t want us in their
cities.”
He accused Obama of supporting gay marriage in order to gain campaign
contributions. “For the president to bow to the money, as Judas did for
Jesus Christ, is a disgrace and a shame,” Owens said.
