Attendees of “The Response” Recruited For Voter Mobilization Campaign
After months of denying that the all-day prayer rally had any ties to Rick Perry’s political future, Don Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, let the proverbial cat out of the bag. In an email sent to “The Response” attendees, Don Wildmon had the following to say:
The Response was just the beginning of a nationwide initiative to return America to the principles on which she was founded, with God at the center of our nation. All of us in attendance in Houston were moved by the overwhelming call to repentance, prayer and action.
Today, I want to introduce you to Champion the Vote (CTV), a friend of AFA whose mission is to mobilize 5 million unregistered conservative Christians to register and vote according to the Biblical worldview in 2012. Only half of the Christians in the United States are registered to vote. Imagine the impact we could make on the future of America if these Christians made their voices heard in the voting booth!
CTV’s research has shown that it takes only 5 million voters to influence the outcome of an election. This is a do-able goal, and Champion the Vote is seeking Champions – an army of volunteers — to help with the effort. A Champion is simply a Christian talking to other Christians about registering and voting.
If you would like to be involved in this important initiative, go to the CTV website (http://www.ChampionTheVote.com) for complete details. We can make a difference, one by one, multiplied across the nation.
Sincerely,
Don Wildmon, Founder

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing what you can to increase the number of voters in any election, being involved with a group like Champion the Vote isn’t going to help Perry with those already questioning his ties to the fringe of the Religious Right. Particularly when the same people involved with this movement were also tied to, fellow Dominionist, Mike Huckabee’s win in the 2008 Iowa primary
