Desmond Tutu "return your country to be a beacon of freedom"

The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Former South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu has asked Florida voters to consider which presidential candidate could "return your country to be a beacon of freedom and peace."

Tutu, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, released an open letter Wednesday to the residents of Florida.

He urged Florida voters "to consider your vote not in terms of whether the individual is a Democrat or a Republican but whether he can lead your nation with wisdom and return your country to be a beacon of freedom and peace for the world."
