Oh goody. Got my Christian ACTION Alabama Voter Guide.
Came in the mail just yesterday.
"This voter guide meets all IRS and FEC guidelines and is APPROPRIATE FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CHURCHES, SYNAGOGUES...
This voter guide is provided for educational purposes only andis not to be construed as an endorsement of any candidate or political party.
"

But...but...looks like ALL candidates endorsed are repugs.
Just a coincidence, I guess.

You can take a look, here:

Christian ACTION Alabama? Hmmm...don't think I've heard of them before.
And yet...?
GOOGLE!

"One of the oldest marketing techniques on the books is to take a shop-worn product and repackage it in a more attractive container.

Thus, the Christian Coalition of Alabama is now officially the Christian Action Alabama as part of its breakup with the Christian Coalition of America. The Coalition is best known for the voter guides it distributes before elections and which it bases on misleading questions and partial answers.

For example, Gloria Dolbare lost her bid to replace her late husband, Rep. Jeff Dolbare, D-Bigbee, in a special election. The Christian Coalition distributed a flier implying she supported gay marriage because she didn't answer their question on the subject." http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/opinion/editorials/060917b.shtml

Oh.
THOSE guys.
*yawn*

1. I don't get it. If they endorse anyone, don't they violate IRS rules for tax-free?

3. Huh. No candidates who care about the poor and needy, then? How very
unChrist-like.
