30 August 2004
Former president Bill Clinton spoke yesterday at Manhattan's liberal Riverside Church, urging mainline Protestant voters to challenge the Christian conservative movement that dictates much of the Republican Party platform, writes Joel Connelly of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Riverside Church is leading a nationwide campaign called "Mobilization 2004," which is aimed at countering the conservative "Voters' Guides" distributed by groups like Christian Coalition. Mobilization 2004 calls for voters to follow 10 "'prophetic justice principles," including Principle No. 6, "'Disdain the Arrogance of Power,'" and Principle No. 7, "'Guard Freedom of Thought and Discussion.'"
