Bush Is TOAST! Godless Americans endorse Kerry/Edwards!

GODLESS AMERICANS GROUP ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT OF KERRY-EDWARDS

A newly formed group encouraging political action on behalf
of "Godless Americans" has announced that it is endorsing Sen. John
Kerry for president and Sen. John Edwards for vice president in the
2004 national elections.

Ellen Johnson, Executive Director of the Godless Americans Political
Action Committee, said that the Kerry-Edwards slate was "the clear
choice over President Bush, who has spent the last four years
eroding the separation of church and state, 'packing the courts'
with judges who ignore the First Amendment, and imposing a de-facto
Religion Tax through the federal faith-based initiative."

Johnson said that the PAC grew out of the November, 2002 Godless
Americans March on Washington that brought thousands of nonbelievers
to the nation's capitol for a rally on the mall.

"There are nearly 30 million Americans who describe themselves as
having no religion," said Johnson. "This includes Atheists,
Freethinkers, Secular Humanists, Rationalists and others who have
little or no voice in our political process, and who are often
ignored by the major political parties."

"We intend to change that."

Johnson pointed out that political hopefuls "go out of their way to
court voters in churches, mosques and temples" and woo "religious
blocs" of voters.

"It's time for them to wake up and realize that there is
another 'bloc' they have to start paying attention to, and this is
secularists who believe in the separation of church and state, and
are determined to stand up for their civil rights."

Johnson said that the Kerry-Edwards slate was "the best alternative
to four more years of George Bush and Pat Robertson running the
country."

The GODLESS AMERICANS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (GAMPAC) is an
educational and political initiative focusing on issues of concern
to Atheists. The GAMPAC supports and endorses Atheist candidates
for public office.

They won't flood your mailbox with useless daily e-mails (a.k.a. spam), and they'll keep you posted about Church-State issues that the mainstream press overlooks.
