GOP Mailing Warns Liberals Will Ban Bibles
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&e=7&u=/ap/campaign_mail

WASHINGTON - Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.

The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Friday that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. "It wouldn't surprise me if we were mailing voters on the issue of same-sex marriage," Gillespie said.

The flier says Republicans have passed laws protecting life, support defining marriage as between a man and a woman and will nominate conservative judges who will "interpret the law and not legislate from the bench."

"The liberal agenda includes removing `under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance," it says.

The RNC also is running radio ads in several states urging people to register to vote. "There is a line drawn in America today," one ad says. "On one side are the radicals trying to uproot our traditional values and our culture. They're fighting to hijack the institution of marriage, plotting to legalize partial birth abortion, and working to take God out of the pledge of allegiance and force the worst of Hollywood on the rest of America. Are you on their side of the line?" the ad asks before making the plea to "support conservative Republican candidates."

14. excuse me?
That is not even funny. It is thinking like yours that enables right wing kooks to say what they do. I am not for banning any book. All liberals should be against banning books and that includes the Bible, a book I am quite fond of.

That is my liberal point of view.

==================================
WHO WOULD JESUS ELECT?
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/2658470

The Bush-Cheney campaign continued its church-based
outreach by giving religious volunteers 22 timelined tasks.
By July 31, 2004 volunteers are to "send your church directory
to your state Bush-Cheney '04 headquarters or give to a
BC04 field rep." By August 15, "talk to your church's seniors
or 20-30 something group about Bush-Cheney '04." In October,
"finish distributing voter guides in your church" and post notices
"about all Christian citizens needing to vote." An IRS letter to the
Bush and Kerry campaigns noted, "religious organizations are
allowed to sponsor debates, distribute voter guides and conduct
voter registration guides" unless they show "a preference for or
against a certain candidate or party."

Washington, D.C.
September 18, 2004

The Bush administration unveiled plans today to ensure victory in November. "We've been looking at the numbers for this election, and we have pinpointed the biggest threat to a Bush victory in November, " said a Bush spokesman who prefers to remain anonymous until the executive order is signed. Executive order 00 will officially outlaw thinking in America. "The problem in America is there are way too many liberal intellectuals who actually got into college by their brain power instead of their connections," continued the spokesman, "this is simply unAmerican." Jim Earl "Bubba" Murdock of Butts County, Georgia agrees: "Hey, we all had to sit through school with these prissy know-it-alls, damn it was awful!" Murdock, president of Bubbas for Bush believes this measure will return America back to the good old days. Earlene Smith, of Charleston, West Virginia agrees, "Was a time in America where people just believed what they were told. We went to church and went to school and just memorized by rote - that's what we need today." Mrs. Smith, secretary of Godly Women for a Godly America believes that all the ills in this society can be traced to thinking, "It's shameful! Government schools teach kids to question and think. Who's ever heard of such. These kids just need to sit down, shut up, and do what they're told."

In a separate executive order (Excutive Order 00-1), the Bush administration also plans to outlaw the sale and purchase of wine. "Wine drinking and thinking go hand in hand," said Billy Ray Miller of Wakefield, MI. "The Pilgrims brewed beer, so it's good enough for me, " concluded Miller.
