1994 : () A leading interfaith group has released guidelines for political candidates, advising them not to cooperate with controversial voter guides or engage in religious mudslinging. The Interfaith Alliance, founded in 1994 to counter the growing influence of the religious right, said candidates “have the right and responsibility” to talk about their personal faith but should not exploit it in a search for votes. . .The book was drafted with input from a bipartisan group of politicians and religious leaders, including former Rep. Robert Drinan, D-Mass., a Roman Catholic priest; 1980 independent presidential candidate John Anderson; the Rev. Jim Forbes, pastor of New York’s Riverside Church; and Rep. Amo Houghton, R-N.Y. ————Candidates advised to avoid religious mudslinging http://www.bjcpa.org/Pages/News/2002news/09.25candidates.html
