TONY PERKINS - FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL

Horrors! Christians are Voting!
Today's Washington Post carries a story about my friend Jim Dobson. Dr. Dobson is encouraging Christians to register and vote in bellwether states this fall. The Post story uses scare quotes around the words "family policy councils" that have been organized by Focus on the Family. We plan to keep reporters busy this fall.

FRCAction, our* legislative arm, is co-sponsoring a major Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C. 22-24 September. We'll partner with Focus on the Family Action, American Family Association Action, and Americans United to Preserve Marriage for this important briefing. FRC is also planning another simulcast. This one will be in Boston in October and the theme will be the threat posed to religious liberty by the groups demanding recognition of "same-sex marriage." [how does same-sex marriage threaten religious liberty?]

We are also cosponsoring Stand for the Family rallies in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania this fall with our friends at Focus on the Family Action. Predictably, Barry Lynn of AU reacted with alarm to the news. He called this effort a "church-based political machine" and threatened participating churches with a loss of their tax-exempt status. This is a hollow threat. Lynn and his ilk never complain when liberals go into churches and pass the bucket for donations. Regardless of what Lynn and other may say we will stand up for the family-- for faith and for our freedom [Bush buzz words--]
