For those of us who believe the Religious Right is WRONG, there can be no greater effort than the one to return the Christian faith to a balanced position in American politics. When we are asked to assign our free thought to someone who purports to speak the religious truth on our behalf, we are asked to forsake all the ideals that should be the most important to us as spiritual beings. If you believe that 'God is not a Republican...or a Democrat,' and you want to reclaim the right of religious action for all Americans and not just those who live on the right of the political spectrum, please visit this site where you can sign a petition from Sojourners magazine.
From the site:
Sign our petition and send a message to America that God is not a Republican, or a Democrat and that the Religious Right does not speak for you. Remind America that Jesus taught us to be peacemakers, advocates for the poor, and defenders of justice.
With your help, Sojourners will place this petition in The New York Times. After signing the petition, you will have an opportunity to give a gift to help communicate this important message.
The gift mentioned here is purely voluntary and will not affect your signature on the petition. Please sign it if you feel strongly that Religious Right leaders like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell do NOT speak for you.
