Wow! Thanks for all the great responses. The Interfaith Alliance site looks helpful and hopeful. Maybe my church can do a voter registration project. I do have an issue, though. While my theology tells me that all religious traditions can be valid paths to spiritual fulfillment--to God--the ex-political hack in me says that the public message that's lacking is that Christians in particular can be liberal. And not just weakly identified, nominal, cultural Christians, but passionate, strongly commited Christians. The issues of religious tolerance or the separation of church and state don't address this. Not to get too partisan, but it seems to me that a "Christians for Kerry" sign at a rally would send an interesting message that a "One Nation, Many Faiths" sign does not. But does this exacerbate intolerance towards non-Christians?

I'm new, but I'm going to jump right in with a new topic. I just found this website and love the content and mission. But I'm looking in vain for an opportunity for direct action as part of a unified effort. I was just talking to a friend who is also tired of the religious right having appropriated the Bible and God and Christianity generally in support of a constitutional amendment to discriminate against homosexuals. The other side buys full-page ads. I heard Ray Suarez say the other day that if the Christian Left were to organize, we would do so ineptly and apologetically, calling ourselves "A Christian Coalition" rather than "The Christian Coalition." Who's organizing the e-mail lists and ad campaigns on our side? We're ready to stuff envelopes.
