My parents are on vacation and I have had the freedom of the whole house to myself. While cleaning up and such, one of the tasks has been to get rid of the mountains of mail on the dining room table my dad never has really gone through. Mom asked me to go through it and get rid of it as much as possible, sooooo... while doing this, I found an opened letter and a survey (though not yet filled out) from the "Traditional Values Coalition".
"2007 Congressional and Legislative Research Survey Concerning the Family and Moral Values in America"
Sent by: Reverend Louis P. Sheldon, Founder and Chairman of the Coalition
There's a list of all the names of people who are on the "Congressional Advisory Committee" and the letter is 2 pages, front and back where it mentions a donation of "100, 250, 500, 1,000, or more" at least 4 times (once in the post script).
"The purpose of this survey is to show our nation's leaders that despite the 2006 election results Americans are becoming increasingly upset and angry at the ongoing war against the family and traditional morality being waged by liberals in our educational institutions, in the media, in the government, and in almost every area of life."
Also included in the P.S., "please don't spend too much time thinking and rethinking your survey answers. The results will be more accurate if you give your first initial, instinctive response to each question."
This sent off a few little red flags in my head. Again, I'm not that familiar yet (still learning) about Dominionist stuff and was wondering if this was simply a bunch of Christians wanting to promote their beliefs or something more stealthy/allied with Dominionist-like groups.
