DNC Rejects Christian Gift Baskets

The Democratic National Committee banned dozens of Charlotte churches from distributing gift baskets to delegates because the congregations hold values that are contrary to the party platform, according to local religious leaders.

They told us our views on women’s rights are contrary to the Democratic party platform,” said David Benham, the lead organizer of the Charlotte714 religious movement.

Charlotte714 is a group of more than 100 churches across the region that mobilized to pray for the Democratic National Convention. More than 9,000 people gathered last Sunday for a time of worship and prayer in advance of the convention.

I think he has lost many, many votes in the south. Turning away baskets fro local churches. Taking GOD out of the convention. I'll bet there are lots of southerners are vowing not to vote for him. I don;t blame them.
He is a muslin. No doubt. I want an American for president. I want a man who has a birth certificate.

Obama needs all the votes he can get in NC. It's one of the coveted swing states. Dismissing anything any North Carolinian is doing could be suicide.
