Mantra of the Day: Never allow the enemy to block you

The AP has a VERY FRIGHTENING article about the evangelical Christian get-out-the-vote movement. These people want Bush back in office, and they want it bad. Don’t believe me? Check out this quote from Thomson, an active member of the Christian Coalition.
“Never allow the enemy to block you. Get around them, run over the top of them, destroy them — whatever you need to do so that God’s word is the word that is being practiced in Congress, town halls and state legislatures.”
Wow. And aren’t those the same people we just gave access to assault weapons?
One of the legislative lobbyists for the Christian Coalition explained: “If you asked people in this group their top priority, the first thing they would say is changing the U.S. Supreme Court. These people want Roe v. Wade overturned and that authority returned to the states.”
The Christian Coalition has created voter guides which outline politicians’ views on a Constitutional marriage amendment to ban gay marriage and abortion. In the 2000 election they distributed 70 MILLION voter guides–they plan to increase circulation this year. Scary, huh?
If you haven’t yet, PLEASE register to vote. Thirty-two states have voter registration deadlines between October 2 – 8. The Right is ridiculously mobilized, so we have to FIGHT BACK! If they are going to do everything they can “so that God’s word is the word that is being practiced in Congress, town halls and state legislatures” then I’m going to do everything I can to preserve and promote a feminist-friendly/queer-friendly/person-friendly progressive agenda!
Anyone have any recommendations on progressive voter guides?
