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.

Is he a Closet Islamic?
Support we much...
Disproportionate numbers of blacks enlist, but seek career-oriented rear echelon posts. Whites enlist looking for guts and glory, and seek combat posts. So I have heard.
Neighbor of mine was career army, served in Afghanistan. He did not reup. Made aliya instead. Does not trust present administration not to squander his life for him.
“Now racist race baiter Sharpton is trying to use the Church to help Obama destroy America”
Obama has a life long history of abandoning people who are no longer of any use to him. When Obama leaves office, that IRS bill will come due, Al.
The Black Church is clearly in a state of absolute schism from historical chrstianity. It's an ethnic meeting hall and the "reverends" are nothing but ethnarchs.
They do a pretty good imitation of rednecks in their services but have not one iota of integrity.
This is an artificial ethnic "creole" religion, just like South African Zulu "Zionism."
ethnarch
I learned a new word today. Thanks.
