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.”
