Bishop E. W. Jackson Says Black Pastors Are Leaving the Democratic Party In Droves

Bishop E.W. Jackson has studiously avoided involving STAND's "Exodus Now" movement with any explicit endorsement of Mitt Romney or opposition to President Barack Obama.

Nonetheless, speculation is growing that his movement could make a significant impact on the election as black Christians respond to his call to leave the Democratic Party, and not vote for Democratic candidates because the party is in "rank rebellion against God." 

Jackson has called the Democratic Party "anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-family and anti-life."

"The response has been overwhelmingly positive among Christians, black and white," says Jackson, who says he has received emails from black ministers all over the country indicating that they will not vote for the Democratic ticket because the party has deeply offended them, particularly by making same-sex marriage part of its platform.
