trouble in gloryland…

ARTL Action members are holding a sit-in to protest Dr. James Dobson at his Focus on the Family headquarters at 8655 Explorer Drive in Colorado Springs today, Thur. Sept. 4, starting at 9:00 a.m. The political 527 group is exposing Dr. Dobson for violating his pledge in which he invoked the name of God by declaring that he is voting for John McCain.

On April 28, 1990 at the Washington D.C. Rally for Life Dr. Dobson stated, "I want to give a pledge to you on a political level… I have determined that for the rest of my life, however long God lets me live on this earth, I will never cast one vote for any man or woman who would kill one innocent baby." (See pledge video and more at ARTLaction.com.) James Dobson is violating this pledge by voting for John McCain for president, a Republican who has recently voted to authorize funding to kill some children by surgical abortion.

"Dr. Dobson repeated his broken pledge on his radio program in March of 1995 saying, ‘I am committed never again to cast a vote for a politician who would kill one innocent baby,’ referring to the rape and incest ‘exceptions,’ ‘which are a window to the soul of a ‘pro-life’ candidate,’" said ARTL Action president Steve Curtis.

"John McCain funds the killing of countless children," said the group’s director of research, Darrell Birkey, "for example by voting to allocate monies on Oct. 27, 2005 for tax-funded surgical abortion if the baby’s father is a criminal, that is, a rapist"…
Not usually my cup of tea, following the goings on of the American Right to Lifers, but this one was interesting. They’re picketting James Dobson for supporting McCain. Seems like they haven’t figured out yet that Dobson is a nothing more than a Republican operative.
