E.W. JACKSON SR UNITES TEA PARTY AND SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES AT LEADERSHIP SUMMIT TO SAVE THE COUNTRY FROM FISCAL RUIN

Quietly and outside the scrutiny of the media, Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., Founder and President of STAND – Staying true to America’s National Destiny – convened an historic Conservative Emergency Leadership Summit in Washington, D. C.  The Summit consisted of social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, national security and Tea Party leaders and members of Congress.

The Summit drew some of the most prominent voices in Congress, including Senator Rand Paul, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Randy Forbes, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. Scott Rigell and Rep. Allen West. The Summit was co-sponsored by  former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore and the Free Congress Foundation. Other participants included Elaine Donnelly – Center for Military Readiness, Frank Gaffney – Center for Security Policy, Colin Hanna – Let Freedom Ring, Wendy Wright – Concerned Women for America, Dr. Rick Scarborough – Vision America, and Phyllis Schlafly – Eagle Forum.  The meeting room in the Rayburn Building was filled to capacity with Chairmen, Presidents, CEO’s of conservative organizations from across the nation.

Bishop Jackson is identified as a social conservative, but is also an activist and frequent speaker at Tea Party events. He spoke most recently at the Tea Party Patriots convention in Arizona. Known for inspiring and uniting conservatives to work together and for working to bring black voters into the conservative movement, he conceived the Conservative Emergency Leadership Summit to pull together Tea Party, social and national security conservatives to work together in a time of emergency for America. Says Bishop Jackson, “Our country is in an emergency. We are at the brink of a fiscal catastrophe. Our unemployment and economic growth are abysmal. Gas and food prices are rising fast. Our foreign policy is confused and our defense posture is weak. This is a recipe for disaster, and this administration is completely adrift and out of touch with the danger we face. Conservatives must work together to save our country.”

Bishop Jackson was the first to speak to start the day. He said, “We do not need the fundamental transformation of America. We need to restore the fundamentals which made America great – respect and adherence to our Constitution, reaffirmation of our Judeo-Christian heritage and values, fiscal restraint and personal responsibility.”

Attendees of the summit agreed, no one group can do it alone. During the summit leaders discussed ideas and strategies for unity and victory. They emerged with a consensus for proceeding to create communication and cooperation among National Security, Tea Party, Pro-Family and Pro-Life activists. Colin Hanna of Let Freedom Ring presented polling data proving that Tea Party activists are overwhelmingly pro-family and pro-life. Bishop Jackson made clear that each organization should stick to their mission, but that there should and could be communication, cooperation and mutual support. All in attendance agreed.

The group agreed to develop Conservative Emergency Task Forces across the country at state, regional and local levels. Virginia leaders agreed to establish a Virginia CETF. Bishop Jackson hosts a weekly CETF Conference call. The Conservative Emergency leadership Summit grew out of the weekly conference call. Plans were discussed for a follow-up Summit to include grassroots activists as well as leaders. Says Bishop Jackson, “The work has begun, and we will not stop until our country is on solid footing again with solid leadership.”

Supporting Candidates and Policies to Preserve Our Constitution and Judeo-Christian Values

 

Bishop Earl Jackson Awarded Outstanding Outreach Effort of the Year

Bishop E. W. Jackson, Sr. honored with the 2010 RPV Statewide Outstanding Outreach Effort of the Year award!   

Jackson is the Founder of STAND, “Staying True to Americas National Destiny.” STAND is a national grassroots organization dedicated to restoring America’s Judeo-Christian history, faith and values and preserving its Christian culture. 

He is author of the book, “TEN COMMANDMENTS TO AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE – Making Your Dreams come True.” 

Additionally, he is also Founder of Exodus Faith Ministries, a nondenominational ministry
headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia with a satellite church in Boston, Massachusetts. 

                       

Bishop E. W. Jackson, Sr. made the following statement in response to being chosen as recipient of the Statewide Outreach Award from the Republican Party of Virginia:
 
“I am honored to receive this award from the Virginia Republican Party.  The common-sense conservative values and principles which embody this party are also my beliefs.  With the help of other concerned Virginian’s I will continue to spread the message of the protection of life; lower taxes; less and smaller government; personal responsibility; creating opportunities for anyone; empowering families; and defending freedom and liberty.
 
The fate of our nation hangs in the balance. Our country is sliding into socialism, bankruptcy and moral chaos. Only by working together will we unify Virginia around the Judeo-Christian principles which can save not only our great Commonwealth but our country as well.  We need organizers, issues activists and people with internet savvy. Tell every friend you know. If we work together we can win this fight before election day ever arrives.  Educating and winning the hearts of the every concerned Virginia resident is our key to winning the next election.

The vision of being “One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” is nearly lost. We have allowed liberals to balkanize us into racial and ethnic groups.  We must start right here in Virginia to stop using hyphenated phrases such as African-American, Irish-America, Italian-American, Jewish-American, Mexican-American or any such construct. Let us call ourselves Americans. My ancestors came from Africa, but I am an American and proud of it.

We are blessed to be citizens of Virginia in the United States of America, the most prosperous nation in the world. We have more freedom and opportunity than any people in history.  Virginia is remarkable in not only our natural and cultural heritage but also in the wealth of industry and innovation; of creativity and productivity; of opportunity and prosperity; of decency and generosity; of noble ideals and courageous people.  We have only to look at history to see the list of great leaders of our Nation that hailed from Virginia.

We must restore the legacy of “American Exceptionalism” for our children and grandchildren. We do not owe the world an apology. The world owes us a debt of thanks.  We must again celebrate our Judeo-Christian foundations. We must honor rather than denigrate our country; bless it rather than blame it for everything that is wrong in the world.

We have been bequeathed a great treasure, and it must be given the honor it deserves. It is time for a rebirth of American faith and freedom. God gave us this country, and by His grace, we must preserve it. Our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to establish this nation. We must do the same to keep it.

God bless you, and may God continue to bless Virginia and the United States of America.

Please consider inviting Bishop Jackson as a speaker at your next Republican Unit or City Committee meeting.

“Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, an elected leader entrusted with preserving the rights of the innocent regardless of party affiliation, has made it clear he is unable to carry out his duties in an unbiased manner.  Nor is this the first time he has shown himself unable to set politics aside in the performance of his duty.  When Arizona passed the bill dealing with illegal immigration, he refused to enforce the law.”

BISHOP E.W. JACKSON SR’s “S.T.A.N.D.” ACCUSES NAACP OF ANTI-WHITE RACISM AGAINST TEA PARTY MEMBERS, POLITICAL EXTREMISM AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY

Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., an active member of the Tea Party movement, has taken aim at the NAACP for, “becoming nothing more than puppets for the far left and the Democrat Party.” The NAACP has issued a report alleging “racist” elements in the Tea Party. Jackson, through STAND – Staying True to America’s National Destiny – has turned the tables on the NAACP, accusing them of anti-white racism, extremist politics and association with organizations which promote anti-Christian bigotry. According to Jackson, “The Tea Party is not racist, but the NAACP is using a racist
smear against these patriotic Americans. That is racist.” Jackson is appointing a “Commission on the Corruption of the NAACP” to investigate.

The NAACP report is by The Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights (“IREHR”). The Bishop calls IREHR a leftwing extremist group. Says STAND’s President, “The NAACP, once a proud organization that fought for dignity and equality of opportunity for black Americans, has now become a front organization for issues which insult the values of most black Americans. The NAACP supports same sex marriage, abortion and the racist Planned Parenthood, which kill 500,000 black babies every year. Black citizens, especially black Christians, do not support these policies. The NAACP partners with the ACLU, which engages in virulently hateful anti-Christian law suits which hurt black Christians. Black church goers form the largest voting block in the black community and the NAACP is betraying them.”

STAND is a grassroots organization dedicated to restoring America’s Judeo-Christian history and values and bringing Americans together across racial and cultural lines as “One Nation Under God.” Bishop Jackson says, “We will monitor the NAACP to expose their extremist, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-Christian policies and associations, including their relationship with Louis Farrakhan. Black Christians need information to make an informed decision about whether to support the NAACP. The will of God is what matters, not that of the NAACP or its leftist political
masters.”

STAND will reach out to rank and file members of the NAACP, many of whom are not in agreement with the national leadership. Bishop Jackson is the Pastor of a predominantly black church, an activist in the black community for over thirty years and founder of the Chesapeake Martin Luther King Leadership Breakfast.

NPR TO JUAN WILLIAMS: “STAY IN YOUR PLACE BOY!”
BISHOP E.W. JACKSON SR. CHARGES NPR WITH LIBERAL RACISM
AGAINST JUAN WILLIAMS FOR DEFYING LIBERAL ORTHODOXY

Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., President of STAND – Staying True to America’s National Destiny – is calling National Public Radio’s (“NPR”) firing of Juan Williams “typical elite liberal racism.” Jackson has written extensively about liberal paternalism toward blacks and other minorities, and their vicious retaliation when any member of a designated victim group dares defy liberal orthodoxy.

Says Jackson, “Liberals are always accusing others of racism, and posturing as champions of affirmative action and minority group rights. However, they just fired their only black journalist because he dared express feelings shared by most Americans as a result of 911. Liberal elites do not care one wit about blacks or other minorities. They see them as nameless, faceless masses to be kept in line and used. Liberals care about their leftist agenda, but see individual human beings are mere pawns. That’s why Schiller attacked Williams by suggesting he needs a psychiatrist.”

“Nina Totenberg, classified by NPR as a journalist, has offered outrageously biased leftist statements, but she still has her job. Juan Williams, an opinion and news analyst, is fired for expressing his feelings? The real reasons are that Williams, though black, dared to appear on FOX and make statements which do not pass the liberal litmus test.”

Jackson is calling for Congressional defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which oversees NPR and the firing of CEO Vivian Schiller and VP for News – Ellen Weiss. He is also calling on civil rights leaders and organizations to “throw off the liberal shackles long enough to actually stand up for what is right, but I am not holding my breath. They are too busy carrying water for their liberal masters.”

STAND is a grassroots organization dedicated to restoring America’s Judeo-Christian history and values and bringing Americans together across racial and cultural lines as “One Nation Under God.” Bishop Jackson is Pastor of a predominantly black church – Exodus Faith Ministries, an activist in the black community for over thirty years and founder of the Chesapeake Martin Luther King Leadership Breakfast.

BISHOP E.W. JACKSON – PRESIDENT OF STAND – RENEWS CALL FOR CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FOR FAILURE TO ENFORCE VOTING RIGHTS LAWS WITH RACIAL NEUTRALITY

When J. Christian Adams resigned in protest over the Justice Department’s (“JD”) dismissal of a voter rights case against the New Black Panther Party, Bishop Jackson and his organization called for a Congressional investigation. He appeared with Megyn Kelly on Fox News’ America Live, to argue that the JD was “betraying everything Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement stood for.” Now the Bishop is renewing that call in light of new evidence presented to the Civil Rights Commission by Christopher Coates, Assistant Attorney General and former Supervisor for the AG’s Voting Rights Section.

Bishop Jackson, an admirer of Dr. Martin Luther King, founded the Chesapeake Martin Luther King Leadership Breakfast in the city of Chesapeake, Virginia. However, Jackson believes the AG’s office is perverting the legacy of King. “Is this what we fought for,” asks Jackson, “to trample the rights of white Americans or black Americans who don’t meet the liberal litmus test? This would deeply offend Dr. King, and it ought to offend every American, regardless of party affiliation.”

The New Black Panther case had been dormant, but was resurrected when Christopher Coates answered – against the orders of his superiors – a subpoena to testify at the Civil Rights Commission hearing on the case. Coates testified that Justice Department political appointees are “hostile” to enforcement of voting rights in behalf of whites. He named Loretta King as the person who (1) ordered the dismissal of the Black Panther case and (2) made clear that cases in behalf of whites were not to be pursued. He also claimed that Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez testimony that political appointees were not involved in the decision on the Black Panther case was false. Coates confirmed Christian Adams allegations. Coates worked for the ACLU in the 70’s and 80’s and has a long history of civil rights work defending black Americans.

Says Jackson, “We need to find out if the Attorney General and his staff are enforcing the Voting Rights Act with racial bias. If a Congressional investigation finds evidence of violation of the rights of voters and perjury to cover it up, a special prosecutor should be appointed to bring the perpetrators to justice. I trust that the new Congress will make this a priority.”

Jewish World Review, Aug. 31, 2010

A new Pew Center poll says nearly one-in-five Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim.  Perhaps that is because of reports like the one blared on the cover of the September 6 edition of the tabloid,The Globe, replete with photos of Mr. Obama in Muslim garb:  It found “shocking proof” in a Nile TV interview given earlier this year by the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, disclosing that “the American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim.”

A better explanation is that more Americans are taking note of the accumulating series of statements and actions by the President that display favoritism, or worse, towards Muslims.  That would be troubling enough; after all, no chief executive is supposed to support one subset of us over others.

Growing numbers of our countrymen may be on to something else about the Obama presidency, however, that is even more alarming:  In instance after instance, Mr. Obama has seemingly bent over backwards to accommodate not just Muslim-Americans, but a deeply problematic organization – the Muslim Brotherhood (or Ikhwan) – that purports to represent their interests here. Read More

Leaders of Virginia’s black conservative community who are strong supporters of the tea party movement issued the following statements today denouncing the NAACP for adopting a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement:

Bishop E.W. Jackson, Sr., President of STAND, Chesapeake VA

“While I have great admiration for the historic contribution the NAACP once made toward equality and justice for black Americans, they have lost their way. Instead of seeking justice, they play racial politics and march lockstep with the far left. They were once independent. Now liberals say jump, and the NAACP says, ‘How high?’

“The NAACP was silent during the hateful, racist, anti-Semitic rants of Jeremiah Wright and the New Black Panther Party. Instead of defending Kenneth Gladney’s right to freely express his political views as a black American, they were silent when he was viciously attacked at a Tea Party rally and called the “N” word by SEIU thugs. It seems that the NAACP is only for the advancement of liberal “colored” people. Therefore it has lost credibility as a true civil rights organization.”

Sonnie Johnson, President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of Virginia, Woodbridge VA

“Here comes the Talented Tenth to the racial rescue! As an organization claiming to represent the black community, the NAACP would serve that community well by focusing on the critical issues of unemployment, education, and financial literacy. But instead they are playing politics with a racial resolution against the Tea Party—a non-partisan organization that represents Black, White, Brown, and all colors in between.

“From the Jackson Ward Area of Richmond to the Vinger Hill area of Charlottesville, I understand how the NAACP’s politics damages the black community. After forty years of advancing a big government agenda, trading political favors, and rewarding the children of former civil rights leaders for the courage shown by their parents, they continue to destroy productive communities that could otherwise flourish under the freedom that comes with small government.”

Gilbert Wilkerson, Richmond Tea Party Board of Directors, Richmond VA

“As an African American, I expect the NAACP to condemn the violent crimes in our neighborhoods, the genocide of millions of unborn black babies, and the high dropout rate among our black youth. Instead, the NAACP steps over the weightier matters to condemn the Tea Party for unproven racial slurs and a few offensive posters about the president (which the Tea Party itself has condemned). Is this how the many black supporters of the NAACP want their money used?”

Coby W. Dillard, Co-Founder of the Hampton Roads Tea Party, Norfolk VA

“With 15% of blacks unemployed and 13% in fair or poor health nationwide, one would expect the NAACP to focus on problems that truly damage the black community. Instead, they choose to sow more racial divisiveness against the Tea Party—a movement that seeks to restore those founding principles that unite Americans of all colors as one nation, indivisible.

“Sadly, this continues the NAACP’s recent history of division among the very lines they claim to work to eliminate. How unfortunate that this organization, with its proud history during the civil rights era, chooses to denigrate the Tea Party movement instead of seeking common ground.

“When the NAACP is truly ready to work towards its goal of ‘One Nation, One Dream,’ they are welcome to unite with us as we work towards that same end.”

Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., President of STAND (Staying True to America’s National Destiny), a grassroots organization dedicated to ending the racial divide, has denounced the Obama administration, accusing Eric Holder of engaging in “pay-back” against white people in the way the Attorney General’s Office handled the black panther case. During the 2008 Presidential election, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside a voting poll in Philadelphia dressed in black uniforms and carrying nightsticks. Film shows that they were physically blocking the voting entrance at times and making racially incendiary statements such as, “Now you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.” They also called white voters “devils.”

According to Bishop Jackson, the Black Panther case shows liberal racism in treating minorities like inferior victims entitled to special treatment. J. Christian Adams, former Assistant Attorney General and lead attorney on the Black Panther case, has alleged hostility in Obama’s AG office to bringing any cases of black intimidation of white voters. The case against the Panthers was dismissed even though career Assistant AG’s said it was an easy case which they had already won by default.
