“I am appalled at each and every one of our government officials who voted for this bill (same-sex ‘civil unions’)… Our government was founded on Christian principles, and those of us who are Christians are supposed to take a stand and speak out…”

Mrs. Richardson joined more than 40 African-American religious and political leaders on January 17, 2010 — Martin Luther King Day — to decry the misrepresentation of King’s legacy and the noble civil rights cause.
