Christian Coalition offering Voter Guides to Churches

[Qutzupalotl]

I got the strangest wrong number on my answering machine today. It was supposed to be for a certain Baptist Church in my area, but my greeting has no personal info, so they left a message anyway.

Apparently I'm supposed to call the Christian Coalition and tell them how many Voter Guide pamphlets I want, and where they should be delivered.

I know they're no dummies, and they have probably crafted these to skirt any laws, but I don't want to erase the message just yet. I'm planning to call the county elections commissioner. Any other suggestions as to what I should do?

1. Contact Local/State/or National Democratic Party

Even better if you have Caller ID... did you record the number?

4. She left the number.

:)
But I hesitate to post it here. I disagree with what they're doing, but if it's legal, I'd rather not be a party to flooding their number. It's just the Christian Coalition's phone number, which anybody can look up (I think).

2. Contact the local ACLU, too.

3. I dont think it's against the law.

Only if they say "vote for Bush" and they never did before.My uncle joined them years ago and i've seen many of the voter guides.

5. I guess that was my larger question.

I've seen other voters guides from advocacy groups that had a mix of Dems and Repubs (but mostly Dems). Is that how they get around the tax laws? Make it look non-partisan?

The CC Voters Guides you saw--were they entirely Republican, or did they have a token Democrat (i.e., Dogcatcher)?
