Stop the hypocrisy: tell leaders of the religious right to practice what they preach
Target: Ralph Reed, James Dobson, & Lou SheldonSponsored by: Care2
For years, the leaders of the
Religious Right have attacked the freedom of women to control their
own bodies, waged war on gay marriage, and fought to erode one of
the central tenets of our Constitution: the separation
between church and state. They claimed the
moral high ground, asserting the right to tell people how to live
and condemning millions of Americans for actions they deemed
immoral.
Now it turns out that leaders of the Religious Right are knee-deep in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. After years of condemning gambling as a social ill, they�ve been caught in pro-gambling campaigns hatched by the indicted lobbyist.
Their high ground has been washed away. Former Christian Coalition Director Ralph Reed made millions from Indian gambling interests, rallying religious conservatives to oppose competing casinos. James Dobson of Focus on the Family recorded anti-gambling ads that a casino-operating Indian tribe paid to air. And Lou Sheldon�s Traditional Values Coalition was paid $25,000 by online gambling outfit eLottery to lobby congress on its behalf.
It�s time to stop the hypocrisy. Millions of Americans have taken their moral cues from these men, only to find out now that they are in bed with the very interests they�ve earned their living condemning.
Send a letter to Ralph Reed, James Dobson, and Lou Sheldon and tell them to start practicing what they preach.

"For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then will he answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me." (Matthew 25:42-45) Contained within every evil(greedy profiteering republican) act are the seeds of its own destruction. Adhere to the teachings of Jesus, as contained in The Urantia Book, or else suffer the consequences. It IS that simple. TRUTH has been spoken to power, Peace will prevail. Buck Fush!
