Dr. Dobson is herding his sheep into place to support the Republicans.

As discontent with the Republican Party threatens to dampen the turnout of conservative voters in November, evangelical leaders are launching a massive registration drive that could help counter the malaise and mobilize new religious voters in battleground states.

The program, coordinated by the Colorado-based group Focus on the Family and its influential founder, James C. Dobson, would use a variety of methods — including information inserted in church publications and booths placed outside worship services — to recruit millions of new voters in 2006 and beyond.

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, called the evangelical voter registration drive a "blatant effort by Dobson to build a partisan political machine based in churches."

"He has made it abundantly clear that electing Republicans is an integral part of his agenda, and he doesn't mind risking the tax exemption of churches in the process," Lynn said. "Dobson wants to be a major political boss, and this is his way to get there."

This is why the Republicans have tried to relax the rules about the seperation of church and state. I have even heard some who believe that there is not such amendment:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Whoops there it is!

If the Republicans had their way the polls would be placed in the churches and only conservative christians would be allowed to vote. And any of us who may have other viewpoints would just be shit out of luck!

Well it is not going to work this time. We are not going to sacrifce our children and our country so that these fanatics can further their bullshit agenda to the detriment of our country.

As Peter Finch in the movie "Network" would have said, "We are mad as hell and we are not goig to take it anymore!"

Damn straight!
