Hello everyone, this is Grant from Matthew 25 Network. I wanted to pass along the Family Research Council's latest attack. This time in an Ad with Tony Perkins attacking Obama on his speech on Fatherhood. Here is the ad, and I'll provide some commentary under the fold.
We have seen these issues divide us for 35 years. And, the other side is very good at it. When Networks look for Christian Voices in the Media people like Tony Perkins are ready and waiting. For too long no voices of understanding, compassion, and conviction have not been those the media presents from Religious Groups.
We are taking action! This week Matthew 25 Network is crafting radio ads to air on Christian radio NEXT WEEK. You can help us with our Act Blue Account!
Faith can play a productive and upright role in our politics without the name-calling and division. That is what I see in my friends, I'm a seminarian, who take to the streets against war, who are chaplains in Veterans Homes, or the Catholic nuns who lobby for health care year after year. Yet those stories are not told. Instead the heavily funded Family Research Council, the Nationally Broadcast Focus on the Family, and groups like them are said to represent faith in America.
On Tuesday Kossacks, and others, from around the Nation came together to say enough. In only one day we raised $4k to run ads head-to-head with Dobson and the FRC. Those as are going up next week (I'll through up a post so everybody can hear what they have helped create).
I want to thanks everybody who is getting involved in the Matthew 25 Network. The generosity of the Dialy Kos community has just floored us.
If you didn't get a chance to contribute Tuesday - you can donate now at our Act Blue Page. Also, as we grow this movement we need you all to send an invite around to your friends and family - sign up at our website or on facebook - and help us outreach to others.
