Romney is paying Ex-Black Panther Preacher to Travel with and Pray at Ralliesanther.jpg
From CBS Sacramento:
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) A local former Black Panther turned preacher is now being embraced by Mitt Romney supporters.
As the presidential election nears, Dr. Phillip Goudeaux of Calvary Christian Center in Sacramento has been invited to speak at rallies in five of the swing states where its still a close race.
But CBS13 political analyst Steve Maviglio, a Democrat, says when he learned conservative black pastors from across the country have been personally invited by Romney supporters to hold rallies in critical swing states, he wasnt surprised.
They are getting paid to pray essentially, Maviglio said. I think its one of these dirty tricks by the Romney campaign.
