Evangelicals turning up the heat on their political puppets.

Prominent leaders from the Christian right have warned Republicans they must do more to advance conservative values ahead of the US mid-term elections.

Their message to Congress, controlled by Republicans, is "must do better".

Support from about a quarter of Americans who describe themselves as evangelicals was a factor in President George W Bush's two election victories.

The Republicans will need to keep them onboard if they are to retain control of Congress in November.

They must be so disappointed that they have not been able to establish a theocracy yet.

I will do what I can to keep that from ever happening. How about you?

(Take a look at the graphic of the seats that are up for grabs in the next election. How would you like to see them almost completely colored in blue? We can do this.)
