Thumbs UP, Thumbs DOWN

We refuse to use Jesus’ teachings to whip voters into a religious frenzy. Preaching the politics of fear and division is not Christ-like. This doesn’t mean we’re afraid to discuss why our platform and beliefs are relevant to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe the “religious right” has been shortsighted in supporting a Republican agenda that is making life in America WORSE for the least among us.
