Rev. Al Sharpton will push America’s black churches to lobby in favor of the Iran nuclear deal, a new report says.
Sharpton is launching his push backing President Obama’s pact with Tehran this weekend, according to The Huffington Post.
“I am calling on ministers in black churches nationwide to go to their pulpits Sunday and have their parishioners call their senators and congressmen to vote yes on the Iran nuclear plan,” he said Friday.
“We have a disproportionate interest, being that if there is a war, our community is always disproportionately part of the armed services, and that a lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk,” Sharpton added.
He also argued Friday that his efforts would counter a coordinated national effort against Obama’s historic diplomatic achievement.
“There needs to be a balance in this,” he said. “Clearly lobbyists and others like AIPAC are pushing on their side, and there needs to be an organized effort on the other side.”
“A lot of Democrats, I think, should have to consider how their voters will feel in their base vote,” the reverend added.
Sharpton also noted Friday that he has already contacted Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and other New York-area Democrats about backing the accord.
He praised Booker earlier this month after the senator tweeted anti-war lyrics from rapper Tupac Shakur and encouraged him to back the Iran deal.

You might not want to doom your flock, Al.
Those who oppose God’s Chosen People will perish.
Al Sharpton - treasonous rat bastard. But you knew that.
Oh, and: Wasn’t it a relatively recent big deal, the IRS coming down on churches that did anything political?
Oh, right, the Melanin Teflon.
Sorry, I forgot.
A more stupid/ignorant man never lived.
Pay your taxes #harpton/
The left always uses the separation of Church and State, which IS NOT in the Constitution to shut down debate.
Now racist race baiter Sharpton is trying to use the Church to help Obama destroy America
Still waiting to hear the outrage from those so-called “Black Christians” over gay marriage. As far as I am concerned, they traded in their faith for their 30 pieces of silver in the form of welfare handouts.
Al probably got 1 mill credit on his tax bill for that one.
Sharpton has been to the White House more than most congressional leaders.
True. But not in combat units. They are disproportionately represented in the combat-support service units.
Al Sharpton has not spent much “street” time in the Middle East. The Iranians (Persians are not Arabs) and they hate African-Americans. Right or wrong....they view North African & sub-Sahara Black Muslims as brothers & sisters....but they cannot stand African-Americans...whom they view as lazy, listful, useless, criminal, Christians!!! American Blacks...Yep....you follow Sharpton....and see where it gets you!!! You have already been thrown under the bus by POTUS, Obama so many times...your backs are covered with bus tire treadmarks!!!
Can we call it the Sharpton/Obama Non-aggression Pact now?
Sharpton is a “civil rights” leader.
As Sharpton said about Saint Trayvon,
“All Trayvon had was some skillets.”
Black leftist radicals are the complete dupes of Islam.
“Rev. Al Sharpton will push America’s black churches to lobby in favor of the Iran nuclear deal...”
Does this mofo think that your average black church-goer even know where Iran is?
I suppose he can just tell them that Iran is some dude that was shot by white cops and that this is to get “Justice for Iran”.
#MullahLivesMatter
You have to give Valerie Jarrett some credit.
It has come out recently that she started these negotiations with Iran BEFORE president elect Obama was sworn in as president.
And register as lobbies of course
Giving up tax free status
I have an idea, who not lobby for Sharpton to pay his overdue taxes ?
With a “brother” in the White Hut, fat chance.
More than the 39 visits by the head of Planned Parenthood?
