Elle Turner. 1. An African American Rev. who is pushing America's black churches to lobby in favor of the Iran nuclear deal.
ReplyDelete2. A lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk.
3. Democratic
4. It reduces economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for greater restrictions.
5.Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia.
6. Yes, church should be about God. Church should not be about The Iran deal. If I wanted to learn about the deal, I would read more articles like this. I do NOT go to church to hear that I should call my Senators to talk about The Iran deal!
Jon Oue
ReplyDelete1. Al Sharpton is a pastor.
2. He calls on the African-American majority because they make up a majority of the military.
3.Sharpton is targeting the democratic party.
4. President Obamas peace deal force Iran to agree because they want to have more freedom in their economy.
5.Britain, France Germany, China, and Russia all backed John Kerry..
6.My opinion is that he should not tell the pastors to tell their congregation to vote a certain way. I believe he is asking them to be political. I think pastors should give their congregation all of the facts and let them choose for themselves how they want to vote.
Chris Perkins
ReplyDelete1. A Baptist minister, civil rights activist, and an adviser for the White House.
2. There won't be as much debate and so we don't counter President Obama's "well coordinated historical achievement".
3. African American churches
4. Making a deal with Iran that they put limits on nuclear weapons and we withdraw sanctions against them.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia
6. Yes, because he's speaking for President Obama and the government here and he's telling churches what to do and trying to say it's bad if they disagree because it hurts President Obama's effort if they disagree. If anything the churches should be against it because were protecting Iran even if Israel (God's chosen people) are fighting Iran or Iran is fighting them.

ReplyDelete1. Rev. Al Sharpton is a civil rights leader who is pushing back Obama’s plan to make a pact with Tehran.
2. He called on African- America churches because he wants to influence them so that their family members will not get called to war and potentially get killed or injured.
3. Sharpton is targeting the democratic party.
4. Obama’s pact would keep them from creating nuclear arsenal. With these arsenals they are a threat to us.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia aided the secretary in attempt to make a deal.
6. Sharpton call was just because he wasn’t necessarily bringing religion into to it, he was simply spreading the word the best way he knew how to, and he knew it would be spread the fastest and to a wide majority of people that way.
Sarah Taylor
ReplyDelete1. Rev. Al Sharpton is a civil rights leader who has decided to back Obama up on his new pact with Tehran and is heavily influencing others to back him up as well.
2. He called on African-American churches to preach support because he knows it is often people from the community who get dragged into the wars and lose families etc. Often times the people pushing for war are the people who will experience no effects to their daily lives.
3. Sharpton is targeting his campaign at the democratic party.
4. The pact would restrict Iran or compel them to feel that a nuclear arsenal is not necessary. With a loaded arsenal, they are an extreme threat to us and everyone else.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia have aided Kerry in his efforts to make this deal.
6. Sharpton’s call wasn’t a violation of principles. He was reaching out to people he knew would listen and going through the senate to get his voice and opinion heard.

ReplyDelete1. Reverend Al Sharpton is a well know civil rights leader.

3.The Democrats
4."It reduces economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for greater restrictions on its nuclear energy capabilities."
5.Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia
6. No, because being in a church represents unity and Al Sharpton is taking advantage of that unity from being in the same church and state to bring people together for a greater cause.
Ben Hall
ReplyDelete1. Al Sharpton is an African American, Baptist Preacher.
2.Al Sharpton's reasoning is that the people of "Black Churches" have a disproportionate interest, being that if there is a war, our community is always disproportionately part of the armed services, and that a lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk.
3.He is targeting the Democratic party.
4. President Obama's attempt to compel Iran to restrict it's nuclear energy capabilities by reducing economic sanctions on Tehran.
5.The countries that aided John Kerry are Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia.
6.Yes, He is encouraging so many people to support this nation state conflict.
Liam Andrus
ReplyDelete1. A leader in the African American community.
2. To aid President Obama in his efforts and because a lot of African Americans are in the military so it affects them more.
3. Democrats
4. it lifts the economic restrictions on the Iranians
5. Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia
6. I think that he is not violating anything because he isn't talking about religion just about the politics of the nuclear deal.
1. Reverend Al Sharpton is a minister and a well known civil rights leader.
ReplyDelete2. He claims that the American Population doesn't want a war and won't support sending their family members to war because he thinks they will get killed.
3.He is targeting mostly democrats and trying his best to persuade.
4. He is "Pressuring" lawmakers to pass the deal.
5.Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia all support John Kerry's attempt.
6. Yes, he is combining the church and state into one argument but i don't see anything wrong with it because for example, preachers did not support the gay right's decision so they included it in their sermons.
1. Al Sharpton is a minister and civil rights activist who is in great favor of President Obama and his decisions.
ReplyDelete2. Sharpton’s reasoning for calling on the churches is to balance both sides of the debate equally by creating a concrete organization that has as much power as the opposing side.
3. Sharpton is targeting the Democrats to persuade them to vote.
4. The accord attempts to compel Iran by reducing their economic sanctions.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia aided John Kerry as he attempted to make the deal.
6. Yes, I do think that Reverend Al Sharpton’s call was violating the separation between church and state. It seemed desperate for Sharpton to call for African American churches to teach about the deal, and honestly had nothing to do with the matter, except for being an African American minster. Instead of calling on a specific party, why not use your authority to speak to ALL individuals and ask them to support the plan, rather than exclude everyone who is not an African American and/or follower of the church? There’s nothing wrong with stating your opinion of something and asking for people -of all religions and ethnicities- to support it.
1. Civil rights leader.
ReplyDelete2. There is a disproportionate amount of African-Americans that could get injured if we were to go to war.
3. Democrats.
4. In order to compel Iran to restrict its nuclear energy capabilities, there was a deal that the sanctions could be raised & them receiving more money in exchange for nuclear inspections.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia.
6. Yes, it is a violation of the principles because people don't go to church to speak politically. Someone's religious rights shouldn't take away someone's civil rights. Churches and politics shouldn't be included in the same form, both have different opinions/beliefs. People have the freedom to their own opinion, being forced to believe in something politically defeats the whole purpose. Churches should stay inside of church and never reaching out to politics.
KaRon Coleman Jr
ReplyDelete1. A pastor at a all black church.
2. Because if there is a war, black families will have to fight and families will be at risk.
3. Democrats
4. He was pressuring law makers to support the "controversial" agreement.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia.
6. No because he's just doing what he thinks needs to be done. We all have the freedom of speech, and he has the freedom to have a say. If the other pastors want to tell their congregation about it, then they can, they don't have to if they don't want to though.
Jesslyin Edwards
ReplyDelete1. He is an American Baptist minister, civil rights activist, television/radio talk show host and a trusted White House adviser who, according to 60 Minutes, has become President Barack Obama's "go-to black leader."
2. He really doesn't want to start another unnecessary war over nothing, and to maybe to resolve the problems that we may have with them. Also that is going to be the main source of votes that will come in, so he also wants to point them in the right direction on where they should aim their votes.
3. He's targeting the Democratic party.
4. If they don't agree to the deal then their economy will stay the way it is now which it isn't in the best shape at all. The U.S. and our allies agreed to provide relief to Iran's weak economy, but in return the would have to hopefully stop making nuclear weapons.
5. Britain, Germany, China, France, and Russia aided Secretary of State John Kerry as he attempted to make this deal.
6. Yes, I guess it's a violation, but I think it's wrong to have one that separates both the church and state. It's also stated in the first amendment freedom of speech, so he can say what he wants as long as it's not harmful in which in this case it hurts nobody really.
Chris Thomas
ReplyDelete1)Al Sharpton is a minister and civil rights activist.
2)His reason is that African-Americans are disproportionally represented in armed forces.
3)Al is targeting Democrats
4)Iran will get more economic opportunities.
5)Britain, China, Germany, France and Russia aided him.
6)No, I don't think it's a violation because he isn't a congressman. The church isn't also saying that they are officially a part of the US Government. It's also not written in a law so the church doesn't have to support them.
Alex George
ReplyDelete1) Reverend Al Sharpton is an American Baptist minister who is a Democratic civil rights activist with close ties to the White House.
2) Al Sharpton believes that there is an unequal balance between African Americans serving in the military from everyday life and the amount of people related to congress or government. Reverend Sharpton proclaims that those people who debate the Iran nuclear agreement should not be allowed to make decisions when they do not have as much to lose.
3) Reverend Al Sharpton is attempting to target the Democratic Party.
4) The United States proclaims that it will reduce economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for a drastic restriction on its nuclear energy capabilities.
5) Great Britain, China, France, and Russia all aided Secretary of State John Kerry in his attempt to make a deal.
6) While Reverend Sharpton’s behavior was very unethical I do not believe any violations on the principles of separation of church and state. The first amendment clearly prohibits laws dealing with the establishment of religion but no religion gains more than any others and no preferences are given, so by law what Reverend Al Sharpton did was perfectly legal and did not violate any laws.
Joy Chou
ReplyDelete1. He is the priest of an African-American church and supports President Obama’s Iran deal.
2. Sharpton claims that “[African-Americans] are always disproportionately part of the armed services, and that a lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk.” He also called attention to the unbalance of lobbying for/against the Iran deal, saying “there needs to be an organized effort on the [supporting] side.”
3. Democrats
4. It reduces economic sanctions on Tehran.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia
6. To me, the phrase “separation of church /from/ state” would be a better fit to the main concept of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause. By that, I mean to say that Congress isn’t allowed to make laws respecting a certain religion or prohibiting any, while there is no reagarding regarding whether or not politics can be brought into religion (as far as I know, anyway). So, no, I don’t think Rev. Sharpton is violating the advocating principals of separation of church and state.
Kelsi Hobson
ReplyDelete1. He's a pastor and a civil rights activist.
2. If there was war, the community is a part of the armed services and much of the debate against the accord comes from people who won't have family members who will be at risk.

4. It reduces economic sanctions.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia.
6. No, he's asking them to preach on the topic, but they are not being forced to preach on the topic. The congregation still has the freedom to make their own decision.

3. Democrats.
4. It reduces economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for greater restrictions on its nuclear enerdy capabilities.
5. Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia.
6. No, I don't think it's a violation because the First Amendment states that citizens have the freedom to practice any religion of thier choice and prevents the government from officially recognizing or favoring any religion. So, they are just saying what they think is right and they have the right to do so.

ReplyDelete1) He is an American Baptist Minister and he is also the host of "PoliticsNation".

3) He is targeting Democrats.
4) "It reduces economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for greater restrictions on its nuclear energy capabilities." - The Hill
5) Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia aided John Kerry.
6) I believe that Rev. AL Sharpton's call for ministers to preach in support of the Iranian peace accord IS a violation of the principles that advocate separating church from state. Politics and religion are sensitive subjects to talk about to a huge group of people... or anyone for that matter. This is why you have to be careful with what you say. I believe that politics of any kind and religion should be kept separate. I have never listened to a sermon where the lesson is based off of what is happening in the political world. Every preacher that I have ever listened to always based there sermon off of what God told them to do or what God said was needed for the Sunday service. Asking preachers to preach in support of a political movement can be controversial. If you are a preacher and you are preaching religious beliefs in church, most everyone is going to have the same opinions because they are apart of YOUR church and they follow along the same lines of your beliefs, but if you preach about political beliefs/movements, not everyone will agree with you because they are in church for RELIGIOUS beliefs and not POLITICAL beliefs. Which means that not everyone in the church shares the same opinion on politics. This leads us to the fact that religion and politics are sensitive/ controversial topics. This is why I believe that church and state should be kept separate.

5.) Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia all aided Secretary of State John Kerry when he attempted to make this deal.
6.) In my opinion, it is not a violation. The only way to violate the church and state is for the government to start a national mandatory religion. Pastors should have freedom of speech just like every other citizen. Right now the government is trying to tell the church what they can and can’t say and that is violating the churches freedom of speech.

Hallie Grace Hamner
ReplyDelete1. Reverend Al Sharpton’s is a sixty year old pastor, politician, and civil rights leader for the African-American community.
2. Reverend Al Sharpton’s reason for pushing support for the Iranian nuclear deal is because he says the “lobbyists and others like the AIPAC” are putting up a considerable effort on their side, and that on the other side (his side) there needs to be “organized effort”.
3. Sharpton is attempting to target Democrats with his campaign.
4. President Obama’s peace accord attempts to compel Iran to restrict its nuclear capabilities because it cuts down on economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for tougher control over their nuclear energy capabilities.
5. The countries that aided Secretary Of State John Kerry as he attempted to make this deal are China, Britain, France, Russia, and Germany.
6. In my opinion, Revered Al Sharpton’s call for preachers to preach to support the Iranian peace accord is a violation of the principles of separating church and state. This is because, in the Bible, it never says anything about the Iranians or their nuclear capabilities. I believe that preachers should not preach on things that are not in the Bible. Therefore, calling for preaching in support of an Iranian peace accord breaches the line between the church and the state.

6. I believe that when you taste a calling from The Lord it is the sweetest thing you’ve ever tasted, and if Reverend Al Sharpton has tasted that sweetness then he must follow The Lord and do what He says. However, I think that politics can be a personal subject that everyone sees differently, even members of the Church. I believe that your political values/beliefs should be between yourself and God, and that your pastor, or anyone should not try to persuade that. Their beliefs are their own, and ours are our own. Although, if your spiritual values are the same, and you both listen for God’s direction you will more than likely be on the same page. In my opinion, I do believe that by telling his congregation to vote for one thing, he is violating the principles that advocate seperating Church and state. It is unfair for him to come between someone and God and persuade their beliefs.

ReplyDeleteReverend Al Sharpton is a Baptist minister and civil rights leader.
The reason he gives for calling on African-American churches to preach support for the Iranian peace accord from their pulpits is,(their) ''...community is always disproportionately part of the armed service and that a lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk'' Sharpton states.
Sharpton attempts to target the democratic party
President Obama's peace accord attempts to compel Iran to restrict its nuclear energy capabilities by limiting their options.
In my opinion Sharpton should be allowed to do that as it is his decision.
1.Reverend Al Sharpton is a civil rights leader, talk show host, and baptist minister.
ReplyDelete2.He claims there needs to be a balance to the deal so he calls upon African-American churches to help make sure the Iran deal follows through.
3.The Democrats
4.It increases the number of nuclear inspections and wants to take caps of their centrifuges and uranium stockpiles and exchange them for financial concessions.
5.Britain,China,France,Germany, and Russia
6.No, because he is using influence from more than just religious ties he using his influence to support his ideals the same way Barack Obama would aim his campaign at the African-American audience or Marco Rubio targets Cuban-Americans.This is seen as a more race divided selection as you can see Al Sharpton said black churches but not church itself instead the race that is most influenced by him. -Will Yarbrough-

Reverend Al Sharpton is a minister and a public figure. Al has called upon all African-American churches to call their congregation and followers to call their senators to vote in agreement to the Iranian nuclear plan. He has targeted Black cultural churches in the campaign. Obama's peace accord goes against the deal by which United States's safety is endangered by nuclear weapons. It seems as if though the leaders of Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia are not as worried for they have aided the deal with Secretary of State John Kennedy. Reverend Al Sharpton has not discriminated against any laws suggesting separation of law and state. Al he simply called upon his fellow churches and asked for the preacher to show the good of the light from his opinion. It is the Churches decision to act upon it and also their choice to whether they vote or not.
