Dear Internet: Help Free Our Churches
Please check out this diary by Jerry Meeks on MyDD

http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/5/6/182625/7920

"Hey, Jerry Meek here. I'm the new Chair of the North Carolina State Democratic Party. You saw what happened today in my state. Everyone knows it's wrong to be kicked out of church for one's political preferences."
...
I put out the following statement responding to press reports about the shameful activities in the Waynesville church.

"One of the Bible's most repeated commands is to 'Love your neighbor.' If these reports are true, this minister is not only acting extremely inappropriately by injecting partisan politics into a house of worship, but he is also potentially breaking the law and threatening the church's 501(c)(3) non-profit status."

Ok, so we put out a statement. That's great for the press. But what about everyone else? What else should we be doing? Give me your ideas about how North Carolina Democrats and citizens can free our churches.

Post comments in this thread. And if you just want to show solidarity, link to this post or the North Carolina State Democratic Party site from your own blog. Wouldn't it be amazing if the internet spoke loudly and clearly about this? "

Oh yeah, when he says "this thread" you need to go here:
