From: Watch97@aol.com Date: Sat, 2 Nov 1996 09:23:31 -0500 Subject: CC "VOTER GUIDE" WATCH #5 CHRISTIAN COALITION "VOTER GUIDE" WATCH #5 -- The response by "c.c.watchers" all over the country working to monitor/expose Christian Coalition "voter guide" activity has been superb. Don't forget that you access a lot of detailed information on the People for the American Way website (http://www.pfaw.org/) -- including access to information from LA. Below we have attached "voter guide" information from West Virginia. Meanwhile, here is an update on what is happening in Alabama plus the most recent response to CC "voter guides" by the US Taxpayers Party and Howard Phillips. ________________________________________________________ [Deleted excerpts from Quietly, Special-Interest Groups Working Hard To Affect Elections By JIM DRINKARD/Associated Press Writer part. staff@qrd.org] ________________________________________________________ Subj: [USTP] From Howard Phillips...CC Scorecards Date: 96-11-01 23:05:46 EST From: lmuller@iquest.com (Linda Muller) MEDIA ADVISORY For Immediate Release: November 1, 1996 Contact: Dan Giroux 703.242.0617 Howard Phillips: "Christian Coalition and National Right to Life Scorecards* Distort the Record" Vienna, VA -- Howard Phillips, Presidential Candidate of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, made the following statement during C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" program this morning: "One of the reasons that we don't have a broader awareness of the need not to vote for Bob Dole, is that some organizations that are parading as conservative or Christian have been lying about his record. One of them is the Christian Coalition. They have put out voter scorecards that do not mentions Howard Phillips or Harry Browne or John Hagelin, and which present Bob Dole's record in a way which is distorted to fit their desire to see him elected president. "In the same way that they lied about his record against Pat Buchanan in South Carolina, they are lying about his record now, making it appear that he is significantly more in sync with the concerns of Christians and conservatives than, in fact, his voting record would suggest. "I also find it disgraceful that the National Right to Life Committee, which has been on the payroll of the Republican Party, has also distorted Bob Dole's record, and they have tried to present it as if it were a prolife record. "I hope Christians and conservatives will not be deceived by these people who have been lying about what is going on." * Christian Coalition, Nat'l Right to Life and U. S. Taxpayers Party scorecards attached for comparison purposes. =========end============== **********{{{{{{{{{****************************}}}}}}}}}********** "It's time to STOP fearing Clinton and START fearing God!"

Governor Issue/Charlotte Pritt (D)/Cecil Underwood (R) Raising State Income Taxes/No Response/Opposes Abortion on Demand/Supports/Opposes Taxpayer Funding of Abortion/Supports/Opposes Outcome-Based Education (OBE)/No Response/Opposes Homosexual Adoption of Children/No Response/Opposes Term Limits for the State Legislature/No Response/Supports Only taxes have been part of this campaign. The other issues seem to have been missed by the press. Interestingly, Underwood's position on abortion seems to have solidified since the primary in May. He was not endorsed by West Virginians for Life in the primary, but he has their endorsement for the general. U.S. Senate Issue/Betty Burks (R)/Jay Rockefeller (D) Balanced Budget Amendment/No Response/Opposes Raising Federal Income Taxes/No Response/Supports Banning Partial Birth Abortion/No Response/Opposes Taxpayer Funding of Abortion/No Response/Supports Federal Ban on Certain Firearms/No Response/Supports Term Limits for Congress/No Response/Opposes Betty Burks has announced that she is not campaigning for this office. She felt that no one should run for the U.S. Senate unopposed. In the Second Congressional District, Bob Wise (D) is opposed by Greg Morris. I live in the First District where Alan Mollohan (D) is running unopposed. Nick Joe Rahall (D) also is unopposed in the Third District in the southern part of the state.
