RIVERDALE Rev. Al Sharpton visited the Center of Hope Ministry Tuesday to encourage Clayton County residents to get out and vote.
Sharpton was joined by some of Claytons politico including county commission Chairman Jeff Turner, Riverdale Councilman Ancel Davis, College Park Mayor Pro Tem Joe Carn and state Sen. Gail Davenport. It was Sharptons second appearance in Clayton Tuesday, a week ahead of Election Day.
If we dont vote, we dont count, Sharpton told the crowd. People died for our right to vote. Somebody died to give you the right to vote.
He said there should be no excuses not to cast a ballot because of early voting and Sunday voting.
Davenport said the vote is historic and that people all over the nation are looking at Clayton County to make sure MARTA comes to the county.
She echoed Sharptons push to vote.
If youve already voted (early) then take someone out to the polls, said Davenport.
Turner said there is power in the vote and power in the penny.
Educate yourself on the issues and vote for those people who are going to make a difference in your lives, he said.

RIVERDALE Rev. Al Sharpton spoke in Clayton County Tuesday to express how important he felt the impending MARTA referendum vote was for both the county and the country.
I didnt want to send a statement to Roberta (Abdul-Salaam, one of the coalition leaders of Friends of Clayton Transit), I wanted to come myself so that people would understand the national significance of this vote, Sharpton said to the crowded room.
A few dozen Clayton County transportation supporters crowded into a room in the Friends of Clayton Transit Education Center in Riverdale to listen to Sharpton speak on the subject as part of a press conference hosted by Friends of Clayton Transit and Henry-Clayton County National Action Network Chapter.
Sharpton is the president and founder of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization meant to work in the spirit and tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., according to the organizations website.
He urged residents to show up at the polls within the next six days to vote for a referendum that would levy a 1-cent sales tax to bring MARTA to Clayton County.
A portion of that penny would be saved in an account only to be used after officials determine how to bring a high-capacity transit option, such as rail, to the county.
Dissenters worry the proposed MARTA contract may not be the best option for transit in Clayton County and say a 1 percent sales tax increase, which will give Clayton County the highest sales tax in the Southern Crescent, will drive shoppers to surrounding Henry and Fayette counties.
