Upon arriving home from my national cross country 35 city “Stop Obama” tour, along with disapproving emails and a letter, an anonymous racist caller left the following message on my answering machine.
“Lloyd Marcus you ought to be ashame of your self, only a black man running for president, and you gonna do that. You ought to be ashame to call yourself an African American.”
The caller vilifies me for not casting my vote purely on skin color. I submit that the caller is the one who should truly be ashamed. He obviously has not considered Obama's re-distribution of wealth policies which will seriously effect our economy; basically taking from achievers to give to non-achievers. This exploits the sin of covetousness or class envy. He has not considered that Obama voted three times against a bill protecting infants who survive abortions by entitling them to medical treatment. The caller chooses to ignore Obama's long time association with his pastor and friends who hate America. Scariest of all, Obama believes that through the power of his charisma, he can “make nice” with world leaders who seek America's destruction. No, this knucklehead caller expects me to vote for Obama, a man whom I believe is seriously wrong for America, simply because he is black.
Boldly, I make the following proclamations. I am a Christian and hate no one including Mr. Obama. I am a black man who loves his country, the greatest nation on the planet. I have no resentment against white people. I don't believe America owes me anything because I'm black. I do not and will not be bullied into relating to people through an invisible wall of race.
In compliance with Dr King's dream, I judge people via the content of THEIR character rather than the color of their skin. Entitlement and Victim mindsets are destructive to the human spirit and achieving personal success.
For me, the stars of our “Stop Obama” tour were the wonderful, hard working, decent and good American people. These folks are not racists. Nor are they selfish for wanting to keep what they've worked hard to achieve. Unlike the arrogant left, they are wise and humble enough to believe in God, a power greater than themselves.
At three rallies, people prayed with me. At every rally, I invited everyone who served in the US military and Blue Star Moms on stage. I then sang “God Bless the USA” as a tribute to them and our active military. Such a tribute would rarely or never happen at an Obama rally. The grand finale of each rally was me leading the crowd in the singing of “God Bless America”. Whenever I heard someone with a good voice, I would give them the microphone. Many in the audiences cried which made me cry. It was truly a wonderful life experience connecting and bonding with my fellow Americans. Many are extremely frightened of an Obama presidency. Folks also expressed great gratitude for our tour.
The most compelling sign of the tour was held by a teenage girl who came 6am to stand behind Blue Star Mom Deborah Johns and myself as we did an interview on the nationally televised Fox and Friends. The girl's sign read, “Please save us!”.
The tour became my “Million Handshake March”. I used so much hand sanitizer, a company should use me as their spokesperson.
This election is about voter turnout. I can truly say that our 35 city “Stop Obama” tour left each city inspired, excited and energized to get out the vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. Lloyd Marcus, Black Conservative Singer, Songwriter & Activist

God Bless You! And thank you for what you’ve done for us!
Ping to some of my FRiends to a must read report from a FReeper on the Stop Obama Tour!
Big Ole Bump!
Great job Lloyd !
All I did today was change one democrats mind and took her down to vote early. When I laid out the pros and cons of both McPain and Nobama and that I voting more against Obama than I was for McCain due the facts I sat and discussed and shared with her quietly, politely and with zero bias or personal opinion until I was done and then I told her my personal feeling of the incremental-ism and socialist ideals that Obama and the current crop of socialist democrats had embraced as their platform.
I stressed that ALL polidiots are BAD ! I shared McCains bad and Obamas bad......as I feel neither have any good at all. Just a lesser than solution .......again .
She agreed, her and her husband, a conservative, went to dinner with me and we went down to the courthouse and she voted. She’s an honest lady, will tell me her thoughts without reservation and said she voted the big straight “R” !!
Now to find the only “other” democrat in our small Texas Panhandle town !..........:o)
Only 4 days to find the rascal !
Stay safe Mr Marcus !
Thank you. BTTT
Where can I buy one of those for my truck?
BTTT
God Bless!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and about all the wonderful folks you met. God Bless You and all those who have been working so hard to get the truth out about how much America needs President McCain and Vice President Sarah Palin! GO MCCAIN/PALIN!
Now to find the only “other” democrat in our small Texas Panhandle town!
ROTFLOL
Sad I have neither time or ability to do more from here Jan ! My town and area are conservate enclaves and democrats are rare as hens teeth around here. Mac Thornberry has a lock on the vote here per my take on the matter.
Prayers up for everyone elses efforts to defeat socialism in America !
I voted early just in case I die tomorrow !......:o)
Stay safe !
Taxman Bravo Zulu! to you and all who were on the “Stop Obama” tour.
God Bless you for what you are doing for our wonderful country, and may He help us make the proper choice Tuesday.
Thank you, Mr Marcus, thank you.
Thank you Lloyd Marcus, for all that you have done. You have made a big difference in this presidential race.
Thank you!
Oh my, now THAT's dedication!
I'm voting early because I'm an election judge and I have to!
But you have just given me a new line to use on people! LOL
Bless your heart, and may we have victory, thanks in part to what you have done.
You are a good man, Lloyd.
My hat’s off to you.
