Politics

I include here most of my research into the various political claims that have been made by Christians and Christian organizations.  Some of this data dates back to 2007-2008 when there was considerable political activity on several of these issues.  Although some of the research is old I find Christians are still using these issues to address things today.  I have seen some of these on facebook and heard some of them in sermons as late as August of 2013.   So it is important to be informed and know what is true and what is not... Other information will be added as I have time.
