God is on MY SIDE

The Republican National Committee recently admitted to sending
direct mail in Arkansas and West Virginia, warning that
"liberals" seek to ban the Bible. The mailing has outraged both
progressive and conservative people of faith, who argue that it
amounts to a cheap manipulation of Christians for political
gain.

Even Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention declined to
agree that Democrats might seek to ban the Bible, telling The
New York Times that the implication was "stretching it a bit
far."

In response to this outrage, and with the help of local
supporters, Sojourners has placed our God Is Not a Republican or
a Democrat advertisement in the Arkansas Times and in
Charleston, West Virginia's State Record. Now let's take it a
step further. Ask those responsible for the oversight of
campaign activities to apologize to the Christian community.

Take action today:
