Where do I start?

A community organization group with ties to labor unions and to George Soros is out with a dramatic get-out-the-vote ad featuring an African-American mother forcing her son to wear a bullet-proof vest in order to protect himself from being shot by police and “vigilantes.”

Dream Defenders, the group behind the ad, first gained national attention last year when it held a 31 day protest at the Florida state capitol following George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin

The group’s executive director is Phillip Agnew who is paid as an organizer by Service Employees International Union, one of the largest labor unions in the country. The group has also received funding from the Tides Foundation, a non-profit group partially financed by the billionaire Soros.

“Did you study?” an African-American mother asks her son, in the ad which the group published to its site and to YouTube.

“You know baby, I’m going to need you to wear that vest today,” the mother says.

“I need to know when I’m at work that you’re going to be safe,” she says as she straps a bullet-proof vest onto her son.

As part of its “Vest or Vote” campaign, which is meant to leave the impression that abstaining from voting increases the need for a bullet-proof vest, Dream Defenders is also selling what it calls a Dream Vest. The retail price for the protective garment is $149.99.

Rather than using the vest to protect against all gun violence, the Dream Defenders ad focuses only on threats posed by law enforcement officials or armed private citizens.

“Every 28 hours an African-American is killed by a police officer, security guard or vigilante,” text from the ad reads. “No parent in America should have to put their child in a bulletproof vest,” it continues.
