"is using sophisticated data-mining techniques to compile a database of every unregistered born-again and evangelical Christian and conservative Catholic in the country."

Well good thing this list will not be privy to any who hate Christ and reject Him, as it could be proven to be a goldmine when it's time for the Church to go through persecution. /sarc

""Our goal is to raise up a body of believers and that they elect a lot of godly leaders," said Bill Dallas, chief executive of United in Purpose."

It is the mission of the local body to raise up it's own converts and disciples, who after being taught holiness will know how to vote.

I don't know why we think that if every political leader were a believer, and every athlete were saved, and every movie star lived righteously, that somehow by magic our neighbors daughter would not seek an abortion. If we wanna save a nation, we need to start by sharing Christ with the guy who lives on the other side of our fence.

You know, I thought it was pretty “wow”, too. I can only put down some of responses above to not reading the link. I wasn’t even sure I would be able to post the article as it is from the LAT. And, it’s the only place I could find the story reported.
