David Barton Barnstorms Ohio Churches for the GOP [UPDATED]
The tour is sponsored by the Cincinatti-based Christian right group, Citizens for Community Values Action, headed by Phil Burress. All of the events are free and open to the public. Russell Johnson, who heads the Ohio Restoration Project, announced the tour to his statewide e-mail list. Johnson writes:
Tuesday November 7th, is a critical day in the history of our state and nation. Christians need to PRAY SERVE ENGAGE with conviction. The stewardship of our citizenship means that we are ready as informed Christian citizens to vote. Jesus said that we are to shine a light to a world in need of faith and hope. Isaiah, the Old Testament prophet, declared "Lift up your voice like a trumpet!" Barton's speeches will be on the subject of "RELIGION & POLITICS: The Myth of Separation of Church and State."
October 25 & 26 These events are also listed on the web site of Barton's Aledo, Texas-based organization, Wallbuilders. As Moiv summarized, in a Talk to Action post in July:
The work of both Russell Johnson and [Ohio televangelists and political activist] Rod Parsley has been greatly bolstered by the background support of Texan David Barton, president of Wallbuilders and until recently the second-in-command of the Texas Republican Party. In a symbiotic relationship that blurs the state lines of God's country, Parsley lent his influence to invigorate [Texas governor] Rick Perry's pet get-out-the-vote project, a state constitutional amendment to "protect marriage" as the "union of one man and one woman." Parsley's video endorsement on the web site of the Texas Marriage Alliance was followed by a personal appearance with Tony Perkins and Rick Perry at a Fort Worth church rally where Perry signed both the Texas Marriage Amendment and a parental consent law that exposes physicians who provide abortion care to the death penalty.
So once again, David Barton, is speaking in churches on behalf of the RNC to stimulate voter turnout in cooperation with key operatives of the Christian Right. And a central part of his message will be the notion that America was founded as a "Christian nation," that somehow, must be restored.
