Alveda King, Niece of Martin Luther King Jr, endorses McCain-Palin
The Philadelphia Bulletin ^ | 10/22/08 | Michael P. Tremoglie

Posted on 10/22/2008 12:00:24 PM PDT by Antoninus

"I am very excited about the McCain-Palin ticket, simply because they support the values that mean the most to me," Ms. King said. "It is a plus to me that Sarah Palin is a woman because I've been elected to office as a wife and mother. I've been appointed to office as a woman and at the time I was a mother and became a grandmother." 



Ms. King said her experience taught her she could both be a good mother and still serve the public. This is something she has in common with Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, McCain's running mate.

However, the most important reason she is backing the McCain-Palin ticket is its commitment to the pro-life cause.

This blurb was buried in an article already posted on FR, but it needs wider distribution.

Don't expect the leftwing media to pick it up.

Here's a link to the video: Faith, Race, and Politics

Spread it around!

She’s always been a champion for the unborn.

God bless her.

Don't wait for them to. McCain needs to thank her for the honor of the endorsement in every stump speech. Palin does, too.

This will probably get more press coverage than Colin Powell's announcement!

Okay, maybe not.

How can this be? The annointed one, the great American ObaMahdi should not lose even one person of color...not one...much less any relative of MLK. [/dripping sarcasm]

Forget the campaign, we need to spread the word on our own. Fire up your email lists. Post links to the video all over the place.

Come on, people! We've got great ammo. We've got the internet. Let's use it!

So far, aside from the article in the Bulletin, it's gotten NO press coverage.

We need to bombard the media with this. Force them to acknowledge it.

Now that’s a person of courage, just like our Sarah!

God bless you, Alveda, and thank you.

God Bless her.

I can't help but wonder how many Black Christians will do the same even though they aren't saying anything. In the end there is no way a Christian supports someone who believes in infanticide.

I thought MLK III was also for McCain - came out the same time as Colin Powell’s son Michael - who is a decent guy with a personality. His dad has no personality.

Whoops. Slighted Mac on that one. Took incredible courage to endure what he did.
