Website fights against Christian right wing extremists
I was delighted to finally find a group that is fighting against Christian right wing extremist who have turned churches into a GOP PAC. These are people like Robertson, Dobson, Phyllis Schlaffly, Jerry Falwell, and all those others busily taking away all our rights. Please browse through the website and donate anything you can to them. Expose these dangerous leeches, and we'll be rid of the Bush "base", a political base that will stick with Bush the criminal, and will remain with him as he destroys our country.

Here is something they have done recently:


Chicago Tribune | Dobson targeted on ties to Abramoff

Dobson targeted on ties to Abramoff

Published March 10, 2006


COLORADO SPRINGS -- A group is targeting Focus on the Family founder James Dobson for work against a proposed Indian casino also opposed by a client of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The Campaign to Defend the Constitution, an online effort to combat "religious right" influence, launched a New York Times ad and TV spots in three markets Wednesday. Besides Dobson, the campaign targets Ralph Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition, and Rev. Lou Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition.

Abramoff fought the proposal from the Jena Band of Choctaw Indians on behalf of the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, which has a casino. In e-mails made public during a Senate investigation, Abramoff and Reed took credit for getting Dobson to produce radio ads. Abramoff pleaded guilty to fraud in January.
