Charging 'Vote or Die' Campaign With Scaring Blacks

Author: Press Release

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson , founder and president of BOND , (The Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny), and organizer of The 'Black' List Campaign , today accused rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and his nonprofit organization Citizen Change of using a scare campaign to get blacks to vote against President George W. Bush on November 2nd.

Citizen Change , with its "Vote or Die" slogan, is conducting a three-day "get-out-the-vote" initiative geared towards minority voters in swing states. The tour began Tuesday, and will cover Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Miami.

Rev. Peterson said: "P. Diddy Combs and his Citizen Change group are a disgrace. Their 'Vote or Die' campaign is an effort to scare and manipulate blacks into voting for John Kerry . Most of these so-called 'disenfranchised' people don't care about the issues. All they know is what they've been told: Bush is evil. Bush hates blacks. He's (Bush) going to bring back the draft-and you (blacks) have to vote or you'll die!"

Combs started Citizen Change earlier this year saying he wanted to register thousands of minority voters who aren't being heard by politicians. The group claims to be nonpartisan, but in February of 2004, AllHipHop.com reported that P. Diddy wants American voters to turn out in full force this year and remove president George W. Bush from the oval office. According to the report, Diddy said: "(We gotta) get Bush's ass up out that office..."

Rev. Peterson added: "If all Combs wants to do is register voters, then why the emphasis on the swing states? This is why I started The 'Black' List Campaign-to expose the lies of Hollywood's most anti-American black entertainers; and P. Diddy is on that list. This election is very important, please don't let P. Diddy or Jesse Jackson tell you how to vote."
