GA Rep Sen David Perdue publicly encouraged attendees to pray for President Obama’s death

At a gathering of Christian conservatives in June 2016, Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue publicly encouraged attendees to pray for President Obama’s death.

The hateful and despicable prayer Perdue referred to is Psalms 109:8 "Let his days be few." The complete reading is:


Let his days be few, and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.




This behavior towards the President of the United States is unacceptable by anyone, much less a government tax-paid lawmaker.

Sign The Petition: Tell the U.S. Senate to censure Senator Perdue for publicly praying for the death of President Obama

In case you are not aware of the origins of that, it loosely translates to, "I hope your whole family gets syphilis
