MONTGOMERY - The Christian Coalition of Alabama claims allegiance with heaven, but a Montgomery lawmaker on Monday told the group's leader to go some place warm and fiery.
Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, responding to the group's annual political questionnaire, asked the Coalition President John Giles to first answer questions about casino-interest money the group received and other matters.
"Until you answer these three questions, Go straight to hell," Holmes wrote.
Reveal its sources of income.
Disclose if it received any money from Ralph Reed or convicted lobbyist Michael Scanlon to lobby against gambling in Alabama.
Explain why the group opposed a bill that would require nonprofits to reveal sources of income if they do election advertising.
Holmes signed the letter "Peace be with you."
