Today’s follow-up email addresses the skeptical reactions we received following yesterday’s message about our plans to invest in Gospel radio and other minority outreach initiatives.

This reaction echoes what I encountered two decades ago when I decided to invest in an inner-city ground game and Gospel radio in Alabama— a state where racial voting patterns were often sharply divided. That minority outreach effort proved to be a stunning success. As detailed in the 2004 Campaigns & Elections article (pictured above and below), I successfully built a referendum coalition, ultimately achieving an unprecedented 68% of the inner-city Mobile vote and 68% of the rural vote.

Here’s an excerpt from that article highlighting the success:

“Late one evening, a conservative activist from rural Alabama took a wrong turn and found himself in a predominantly Black section of Mobile. As he scanned the neighborhoods in the fading twilight, looking for the interstate, he was shocked by what he saw. In front of nearly every home were teal-and-yellow signs that read, ‘We are taxed enough—Vote No September 9,’ the very same message featured on the bumper sticker of his car…
Additionally, we targeted 101,000 Black undecided/unknown voters because our polling indicated that while nearly all white voters had made up their minds, almost a third of Black voters were still undecided. As a result, we swept every Black precinct in Mobile and Birmingham.”

While my mission two decades ago was focused on winning that referendum, the mission of the Wisconsin Faith and Freedom Coalition is to inform all faith communities about the positions of candidates. In our visits to churches, we’ve found nearly universal concern about the sex-change industry targeting children of all races.

Regarding the question of whether the people should be allowed to vote on outlawing late-term abortion, there is widespread awareness that Black babies are more than twice as likely to be aborted as White babies, according to studies from the National Institutes of Health and the abortion industry.. This, combined with illegal immigration, is why the Black population (less than 15%) has now been surpassed by the Latino population (almost 20%) as the largest minority group in the U.S.

Every culture is different. As a child, my friends used to make fun of me when I said I was scared to go out in the woods with them because of wild animals, despite the fact that I had no concerns about delivering 500 newspapers early every morning despite three murders in one week within a block of my inner-city Richmond, Virginia, home. Whether you live in a city, rural county, or any place in between, we believe you will find our comparison piece (link to printable voter guides) provides essential information about the Supreme Court candidates for all faith-based voters.
