Ga 1st congressman Jack Kingston name bubbled up on Morning Joe today re the GOP strategy to weaken President Obama. Cynically it seems some Tea party and leaning Republicans--Billy Graham's Trey Gowdy at FBC Spartanburg--are willing to let immigration reform unravel to weaken Obama

Likely more noble than Kingston or Gowdy is Chic Fil A mentored SC Senator Tim Scott who the Washington Journal named as one of 8 key Senators likely to tank immigration reform if it goes down.Will be interesting to see how that pawn on the chessboard is played if the Journal hunches play out.
Here is what Suzii Paynter, Mercer President Underwood and John Pierce can do.
They can act now to show Baptist leadership have learned something since ML Kings letter from the Bham Jail.
For starters Pierce can call Dan Cathy at Chic Fil A and post a blog next week defining where Chic Fil A now is regard the Dream Act as a path to Citizenship. IS CFA holding fast to theri 2006 position endorsing the Dream Act.
That would have major ripples through FBC Spartanburg where www.ginnybrant.com has been an active member until not long ago. Ginny served as trustee of IMB while Dan Cathy's bro in law was a VP.
Truett Cathy for all his conservative politics, stood by Kirby Godsey as Mercer trustee when the fundies were on the prowl in the heyday of Ga state convention machinations.
Chic Fil A can stand up and send a clear message to Jack Kingston, Ginny Brant, Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott. A multitude of Hispanic children have earned their citizenship by scholarship and character in America's public school system. Come to Collinsville Alabama and witness the soccer team.
Will Pierce, Underwood and Paynter act soon?
The Clock is ticking.
