Thank you for visiting the E. W. Jackson Page. E.W. Jackson was unsuccessful in his bid for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia last year.[1] Mr. Jackson is not only relevant to the black community, but I believe that I was led by Providence to this story shortly after hearing about the media scourging Cliven Bundy about his "racist" remarks[2] - the exact same remarks made by African American minister, E. W. Jackson. Family is obviously very important to Mr. Jackson and is under vicious attack by not only Communists[3] but our own government as well.[4]

Virginia GOP Nominee: 'Great Society' Programs Worse for Black Families Than Slavery
By Scott Keyes June 20, 2013 at 10:00 am Updated: June 20, 2013 at 9:15 am
Virginia Republicans’ controversial nominee for Lieutenant Governor argued on Wednesday that the Great Society programs enacted in the 1960s did more harm to African American families that the institution of slavery. E.W. Jackson, who thinks LGBT Americans “poison culture” and says President Obama has “Muslim sensibilities,” told a crowd in Newport News that government programs like Medicare and Medicaid are to blame for current problems among black families.
Citing the decline in black children being raised by two (opposite sex) parents, Jackson declared, “it wasn’t slavery that did that, it was government that did that”.

JACKSON: My grandfather was born there, to a father and a mother who had been slaves. And by the way, their family was more intact than the black family is today and I’m telling you that slavery did not destroy the black family even though it certainly was an attack on the black family. It made it difficult but I’ll tell you that the programs that began in the ‘60s, the programs that began to tell women that “you don’t need a man in the home, the government will take care of you,” that and began to tell men, “you don’t need to be in the home, the government will take care of this woman and take care of these children.” That’s when the black family began to deteriorate. In 1960 most black children were raised in two parent, monogamous families. By now, by this time, we have only 20% of black children being raised in two parent, monogamous families with a married man and woman raising those children. It wasn’t slavery that did that, it was government that did that, trying to solve problems that only God can solve and that only we as human beings can solve.
Watch it (via American Bridge):
Other government programs besides Medicare and Medicaid that began in the 1960s include food stamps, Head Start, Teacher Corps, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Though Jackson didn’t single out which one of these initiatives in particular was so dastardly, it’s fair to say that none of them led to the mass enslavement of a race.
Jackson has previously lashed out against Planned Parenthood, saying that they are “more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was.”

About E. W. Jackson
E.W. Jackson served three years and was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps. He then graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree(BA), Summa Cum Laude with a Phi Beta Kappa Key from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Three years later he graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor (JD). While in law school, he was accepted into the Baptist ministry and studied theology at Harvard Divinity School.
Jackson practiced small business law for 15 years in Boston, and taught Regulatory Law as an Adjunct Professor at the Graduate level at Northeastern University in Boston. Since returning to his ancestral home of Virginia, he has also taught graduate courses in Business and Commercial Law at Strayer University in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
In 1997, he retired from his private law practice in order to devote full time to ministry. However, he still taught law and maintained both his avid interest in – and commitment to – civic and political responsibility. His first book, “Ten Commandments to an Extraordinary Life” was published in 2008.
Jackson’s family history in Virginia dates back to the time of the Revolutionary War. According to the 1880 census, his great grandparents (Gabriel and Eliza) were a sharecropper family in Orange County, Virginia. His grandfather, Frank Jackson, moved to Richmond and then to Pennsylvania where Jackson was born.
Jackson and his wife Theodora were sent to Boston on orders from the United States Marine Corps in 1971. Motivated by their desire for an environment more compatible with their conservative and Christian values and inspired by the knowledge that it is his ancestral home, Jackson moved back to Virginia 1998.
He is the Founder of Exodus Faith Ministries, a nondenominational Christian church in Chesapeake, Virginia with a satellite in Boston, Massachusetts. On July 4, 2009, he launched S.T.A.N.D. – Staying True to America’s National Destiny (www.standamerica.us), a national organization dedicated to restoring America’s founding values which were informed by the principles found within the Jewish and Christian faiths.
STAND, with Jackson as president, aided the 2012 election effort both in Virginia and nationally. Most recently, he launched “Exodus Now”. The Exodus project is a national effort to encourage Christians and other people of moral values within the black community to leave the current Democratic Party because its current leadership has abandoned the founding principles of this Nation.
Jackson’s Youtube videos in support of that effort were played on Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham and to date have over 1.5 million views online. This is a part of his ongoing project to educate citizens on how the current leadership of the Democratic Party is not representing their values and to break the cycle of electoral dependency on the Democratic Party within the Black community.
After years of political activism, E.W. Jackson was encouraged by friends and family to seek the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. In May 2011 he declared his candidacy. While unsuccessful in his bid, the campaign gave rise to a strong following which many believe will lead to his election to public office in the near future. He was also called on by the nominee and the Republican Party to help in the general election campaign.
Among his current accomplishments, Jackson chairs the historic Conservative Emergency Task Force (CETF), which held a Summit in Washington DC on March 15, 2011 bringing together Congressional Representatives – including Michelle Bachman, Allen West and Senator Rand Paul, Tea Party leaders and social, economic and national security conservatives to address what Jackson calls “the present national emergency”.
He hosts a weekly CETF conference call to facilitate communication and cooperation among conservatives nationwide. As an outgrowth of that effort, he is one of the primary authors of the Declaration of Freedom, a statement to be signed by 56 prominent contemporary patriots (Council of 56) symbolic of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Jackson has received numerous awards for his leadership and community service, including the Family Life Award from the African American Family Association for his pro-life advocacy; the Lead Hampton Roads Award for Excellence in Leadership; the Trustee Award from the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce; the “Outstanding Leader” Award from Lead Virginia; the Republican Party of Virginia’s 2010 Award for “Outstanding Outreach Effort of the Year” and the “Character Does Count” Award from The Patriot Republican Women.
He and his wife founded the annual Chesapeake MLK Leadership Breakfast which draws hundreds to celebrate the life and ideals of Dr. King. He is also the founder of “Youth With a Destiny”, a non-profit organization established to help youth avoid gangs, drugs and violence. He served as a chaplain for the Boston Red Sox, Boston Fire Department and the Family Foundation of Virginia.
A compelling and compassionate communicator, Jackson managed a gospel radio station for 10 years; hosted local and nation radio talk shows; and did national commentaries for a network of over 400 radio stations. He is a much sought after Public speaker in a diverse array of venues.
His articles have been published nationally and internationally. He has been a guest on FOX News’ The O’Reilly Factor, Your World With Neil Cavuto, Megyn Kelly’s America Live, CBN World News, ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC’s Politically Incorrect, Hardball, C-Span’s Washington Journal, ABC Radio Network, National Public Radio, Virginia Public Radio in Richmond and Tony Macrini’s radio show in Hampton Roads and many other media outlets. His work has been reported by the Washington Examiner, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Mother Jones Magazine, World Magazine and other publications.
In recognition of his national ministry leadership, E.W. Jackson was consecrated a Bishop in 1998. He and his wife, Theodora, have been married for forty-two years, have three children and reside in Chesapeake, Virginia.

E. W. Jackson launching PAC

HOT SPRINGS, Va. — E.W. Jackson, the controversial GOP nominee for Virginia lieutenant governor who lost by 11 points, is not going away.
The African-American minister, who won an upset victory on the fourth ballot at a May nominating convention, announced plans at a Republican retreat here this weekend to launch a new political action committee called “Unite Virginia.” Jackson, 61, said his new PAC will focus on a wide range of issues, from supporting school vouchers to restoring voting rights for non-violent felons to fighting against a change in the state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. |
“People have been asking me, am I going to run for anything,” he said in a speech Saturday afternoon. “I’m going back to the answer before I was running for anything in the first place: I’m running for Jesus right now, and that’s enough. If anything changes, you’ll be the first to know.”
Jackson paid for a hospitality suite Friday night at The Homestead resort, something only people looking to run for office or stay relevant do. About 450 activists and elected officials attended the annual conference, known as “the Advance.”
Though he far underperformed gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli and Attorney General candidate Mark Obenshain, the failed candidate proudly proclaimed that he “won nearly a million votes … in spite of lies and smears heaped on me by the mainstream media and my opponent.”
He delivered his speech at the start of a forum for two declared Republican candidates for U.S. Senate next year, both unknowns not seen as viable threats to Sen. Mark Warner (D).
“I don’t know who else may be joining in,” Jackson said of the Senate race. “I’m hearing all kinds of rumors. I’m even hearing that I’m joining in, but I haven’t heard that from me, and I haven’t heard it from my wife either. So, have no fear!”
Jackson, who preaches in Chesapeake, made a long history of inflammatory comments that dogged him through the campaign, on everything from yoga to abortion.
Cuccinelli rarely campaigned with Jackson until the eve of the election and consistently declined to defend his comments when asked.
Before he won the lieutenant governor nomination, Jackson received only 5 percent of the vote in a quixotic 2012 Senate primary bid against George Allen.
“I said during the campaign that if I had to be the last one standing up for our flag. … I said I would do it until I breathe my dying breath,” Jackson said Saturday. “I’d give my life if necessary for this country, but I would never back down, I would never give in, I would never give up, I would never quit. So, here I am! I don’t intend to stop.”
Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, a Republican, called Jackson’s past remarks “indefensible” right after the convention and refused to endorse him or Cuccinelli.
Jackson attacked establishment Republicans like Bolling as sore losers.
“Look, this is my humble opinion,” he said, “if you go work for the other side, why don’t you just join them and get it over with?”
Jackson is best known as a social conservative, but – asking for donations – he stressed that his PAC’s coming “legislative agenda for 2014” will focus on much more.
“It’s called Unite Virginia because we want to bring Republicans together,” he said. “We’ve got four legs to our stool in Virginia – we’ve got libertarians, we’ve got tea party people, we’ve got social conservatives, and we’ve got sort of the fiscal conservatives, the Chamber of Commerce types who are mainly focused on business. But we’ve all got to come together when the time comes to elect our candidates.”
