The survey that is sent out to candidates every election year by The Christian Coalition of Alabama was in the news recently when Democratic state Rep. Alvin Holmes
told the CCoA to "go straight to hell."
The Anniston Star newspaper, having acqured a copy of the survey form, has made it available here. The survey sent out to judicial candidates is here. H/T to Alablawg.
Take the survey and see if you have what it takes to be a god-fearing warrior for the Lord or if you are one of those stinking commie libs that are trying to turn kids into homos. And don't forget to read Question 69. It's the apex of hypocrisy considering the Christian Coalition of Alabama took more than $800,000 in Indian casino money.
P.S. I deleted questions related strictly to local issues in Alabama, such as whether candidates favor rewriting the state Constitution.
