39. Thanks for this article. Timely. Do you or does anyone know anything
about the trade of agenda for votes. In the most practical application, there have been intial meetings followed by an agreement. I specifically target the year or years leading up to 2000.

I agree with the article and the comments - they have slowly, surely started at both ends - the WH and Supreme Court and the local school boards and civic positions.

But, at some point there must have been a meeting of the RNC and the Dobson type reverends to find agreement on participation. They have an army of people who contribute money, knock on doors, steal signs, steal votes - if asked. Their leaders were not going to mobilize them without some promises.

Assuming meetings to trade votes took place - is it legal under the Constitution?

(I believe they used one person as a conduit between the reverends and the RNC/Bush family - Bill Bennett.)

(The greatest act of phoniness is to condemn the religious control in Saudi Arabia or Iran and accept the religious control in the United States.)
