The Conservative Clergy of Color, a group of Black ministers and pastors, announced Monday it published a full-page ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to address the “lies” being told by President Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams (D) about the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021.

The advertisement, which features a photo of both of the prominent Democrats, specifically calls out Biden and Abrams for their messaging about the new law, describing their agenda as “devastating” to minority-owned small businesses in Atlanta, amid Major League Baseball’s decision to pull out of the city due to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s signing the election integrity bill into law. . . .

The advertisement features two columns, one of “lies” and one of “truth,” with the truth column dispelling Biden and Abrams’ claims:

  • LIE: The new law restricts early voting. TRUTH: The law expands early voting hours and additional weekend voting opportunities, including Sundays.
  • LIE: Voter ID requirements are racially discriminatory. TRUTH: IDs are necessary for numerous everyday activities, and the law even lets voters use documents like utility bills instead of state-issued IDs.
  • LIE: Restrictions on distributing food and water to voters are intended to make voting more uncomfortable for minority voters. TRUTH: The law only prohibits using free food and beverages as a form of electioneering.
  • LIE: The new law eliminates absentee ballot drop boxes. TRUTH: Drop boxes never existed before the pandemic. The new law creates rules to keep them—and the ballots inside—secure.
  • LIE: The new law allows “takeovers” of local election administration. TRUTH: The law protects voters when local officials fail to prevent excessive lines or struggle to process absentee ballots.

“There’s nothing ‘racist’ about the Election Integrity Act, and it’s certainly not ‘Jim Crow 2.0,’” the ad stated. “Your lies are now devastating minority small businesses in Atlanta following the MLB’s decision to move its All-Star Game to Denver, resulting in a loss of $100 million in business. Enough is enough.” . . .

“As our ad points out, the lies that Biden and Abrams are telling about this law aren’t just another example of political theater,” said Shines. “Like elections, lies have consequences.”

“The MLB’s decision to relocate the All-Star Game in response to the left’s irresponsible and baseless assertions will deprive hard working Georgians – including countless Black-owned businesses and their employees – of a much-needed economic boost that would have helped them recover from the pandemic-induced economic downturn,” Shines added. . . .

Thank you Father for waking up pastors to speak your truth and justice into our culture. May you continue to raise up and unite those you’ve called to be our shepherds to lead in Biblical Justice.

Thank you Lord for these courageous Pastors who are standing for truth against a very powerful machine. But like young David who stood up to Goliath with only a sling and a stone because he knew that, that
uncircumcised philistine was standing against the armies of the living God. Lord, they are asking for bread. They are standing for the truth. Give them favor. Give them a miracle. Let those “ uncircumcised philistines” see the power that tears down strongholds and brings redemption. Lord, Please give these five pastors the victory. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Thank you pastors of Atlanta for standing for truth about the recent legislation that was passed by the Georgia state legislature. Martin Luther King Jr would be so proud of your actions with the full page in Atlanta newspaper. Also, thank you Governor Kemp for doing the right thing for state of Georgia.

Thank you Lord for those who see the underhanded schemes and speak out. Bless them mightily for countering these lies with the truth! We pray the lies continue to be exposed and the truth comes charging forward like a flood! In Jesus’ name we pray.
