A friend posted..."As my father taught me, "follow the money son to know the true motivation of a thing or person." That pastor receives remuneration from the DNC, Planned Parenthood, or some other liberal "regressive" organization. And that is why he and the other pastors pulled that publicity stunt. MLKjr must be rolling over in this grave.....smh"
Maybe he should solicit his congregation to make monthly donations to pay for medical insurance for Georgia residents!
