Patriot Pastors
Thanks to DriveDemocracy.org for letting us know about the Ohio Restoration Project's plan to get email addresses of church members from conservative Christian pastors. Specifically, they willHelp build a network of addresses and e-mails that will equip concerned Christians to become informed "Minutemen" of our day. Patriot Pastors will work towards adding 200 names to our statewide mailing and 100 e-mails. We presently have 60,000 names on our AFA Ohio mailing and 55,000 on other lists that have been made available. This does not include the 55,215 e-mailing addresses that we currently have. We would like to build that to a total of 300,000 on the mailing list and 100,000 e-mail addresses. In a single day, we could educate and mobilize hundreds of thousands who are able to pray at a moment's notice. A website could be developed helping thousands of families to have access to information that equips these folks to make a stand.Yikes.

Thanks Paul for passing that on.
What we call the "Religious Right" got it's start with a mailing list from the Goldwater Campaign, carefully hand copied by Richard Vigurie. They've been doing mass mailing/mass marketing brilliantly for 35 years...
I hate to admit it, but we liberal progressive folk started way late in the game.
That said... when they brag of all the email addresses they have from the American Family Foundation and the like, it is probably good to point out that this includes people like me and maybe isn't an exact representation of their numbers ;-)
Sounds like a very good idea. Why don't some liberals do that and take this country back? Or is organizing the people who agree with you not fair play?
Sorry, I'm just not getting what the problem is here.
