Simultaneous with its recently concluded Values Voter Summit, the FRC announced the launching of its Values Voter Bus Tour aimed at registering and mobilizing new voters. Tony Perkins' group is operating on all cylinders and intends to drive voters to the GOP.

It has just concluded what it's calling the most successful Values Voter Summit in its history, and is now getting ready to launch a year long Values Voter Bus Tour aimed at influencing both the Republican Party's presidential primaries and the 2012 presidential election.

It is a 12-million dollar a year operation run by a very capable leader who rides the airwaves - the 24/7 cable news networks and conservative talk radio - like a veteran broncobuster. It has outlasted a number of other religious right groups (think Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition), and is outpacing the financially troubled, and once mighty, Focus on the Family.

It is one of the most outspokenly - and outrageously -- anti-gay organizations in the country.

1. Um... I may be wrong but aren't they a non taxed

religious organization? And isn't it illegal for them to go out and "register voters"?
