Asks God’s People to Boycott the Republican

 “Betrayers of the Faith” Symposium

Clackamas, OR – Lots of smoke and mirrors, and “POOF!” you are a “compassionate conservative.”  The Republicans used lies and deceit to fool God’s people into electing George Bush in 2000 – and again in 2004.  Now that the failure of 12 years of Republican rule is so well documented, they are trying to sell the message that we should re-elect the same gang of criminals who orchestrated the total collapse of this nation's moral values - in some naive hope they will improve the moral values of our nation if we will give them just one more chance to get it right.

In an attempt to sell a message that would be more appropriately called “compassionate imperialism,” the Republicans are hosting a propaganda-fest August 23^rd that is being billed as the “People of Faith” Veritas Symposium. This event will highlight numerous apologists of the Bush war machine, offering anyone willing to fork over $25 the chance, “to meet and speak with brilliant thinkers… To revolutionize the future… and energize our present.”  But their fraud has been exposed, and BELIEVERS AGAINST THE WAR is encouraging all Christians to boycott the symposium.

Speakers at the event will include the following “Betrayers of the Faith”:

Michael Medved, a pro-war, anti-Arab, Bush apologist, national radio host.

Dr. Marvin Olasky, author and editor of “World” magazine”, whom The Oregonian refers to as the “intellectual architect” of Bush’s compassionate conservatism initiative, will presumably be speaking about the many ways he uses his “Christian” magazine to deceive God’s people into embracing evil.

Steven Mansfield, who wrote "The Faith of George Bush,” a book that claims Bush is still a Christian - even though he deceived our country into a war against a nation that posed no threat to America - and even though 8 million American unborn babies have been murdered on his watch.

Mary Starrett, Field Director for BATW and former TV and radio show host, said, “Michael Medved referred to Jesus as ‘delusional because He claimed to be God.’  Yet, Medved doesn't mind making his living off the people who follow that "delusional" leader.”

David Brownlow, Ex. Director said, “The Republicans will have squandered over a trillion dollars raining carnage down on the Iraqi people before we finally loosen our grip on that forsaken country.  Instead of hanging their heads in shame, the Republicans respond by promoting an author who thinks these war crimes make George Bush a good Christian man.  The only possible upside of this is that the moral depravity of the Republican Party has become so shockingly obvious, with the Democrats being every bit as decadent, that people of faith may finally realize there is no solution to be found within the ‘two’ party charade.”

BELIEVERS AGAINST THE WAR suggests that Christians examine every law, policy, candidate, political party, war, etc. in the light of the Bible (“All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.”  Isaiah 54:13), and the law of our land, the U.S. Constitution.
