Several Hawaii churches are uniting to register tens of thousands of new voters in hopes of influencing 2010 elections for the Legislature and governor's office.

Hawaii Family Forum is leading the effort, which also includes several Protestant Churches, the Catholic Diocese of Honolulu, and the Mormon Church....

Even in the 2nd most unionized US state (NY is #1), churches are 64% larger than unions.

Try this in your state and create a new electorate.

Liberal churches have been doing that for decades.

I’m pretty sure the libs are going to say that this is “unconstitutional” if they feel it will hurt their chances of being re-elected.

Of course. Anything a church does is unconstitutional to a liberal. It's the last bastion of conservatism.

Its only unconstitutional when conservatives do it.

Year after year I see clinton, Gore and others stand on the alter of some black church getting an endorsement while some conservative pastor gets an IRS investigation for a sermon.

It’s not even unconstitutional (no matter what the IRS says) because in the US Constitution Churches are NEVER prohibited from registering voters (wether liberal or conservative), however the liberal might not like it; and try to cheat by claiming it is “illigal”. Let them go ‘pound sand’!
