Christians for Dean

CFD: ‘As Christians, we should be fiercely independent and deeply thoughtful, supporting leadership that best reflects our ideals and convictions.’  [→ READ ]

Evangelical Christians have traditionally voted Republican based on the pro-life/abortion issue alone. This created the voting bloc known as the “religious right” and the powerful Christian Coalition lobby. With a sometimes token stance against abortion, the Republican Party co-opted us into an entire economic and foreign policy agenda that has nothing to do with biblical values and commitments. …

Instead of voting based on a single issue, Christians for Dean encourages voters to consider all the issues and embrace a consistently pro-life position as it relates to peace and foreign policy, compassion for the poor, capital punishment, access to health care and education, creation care, economic justice, and racial reconciliation.

The truth is, Jesus is neither Republican or Democrat. As Christians, we should be fiercely independent and deeply thoughtful, supporting leadership that best reflects our ideals and convictions.
