Bush | Church Outreach Effort Under Fire

The Bush campaign is on the defensive over a controversial church outreach memo.

The Bush campaign on Friday defended a memo in which it sought to mobilize church members in support of the president’s re-election bid through efforts such as providing church directories to the campaign, arranging for pastors to hold voter registration drives, and talking to various religious groups about the campaign.

Some religious organizations have criticized the document as inappropriate and perhaps having the potential to cause churches to jeopardize their tax-exempt status by becoming involved in partisan politics.

So we’ll apply that standard to every church Kerry speaks at TOO!

Go Bush, grass roots campaigning the honest way. After all Kerry is getting free publicity in the Catholic sector because of his hypocritical stance and policies. The muslim sector preaches politics from the mosques. (CAIR poll shows muslims are for kerry).

So there is nothing wrong in Bush asking Christians to support him and get the word out that he also believes in maintaining moral values in the nation.
