Right with God

The Christian Coalition and other rightwing activists may see their power waning nationally, but they’re quite happy with the Georgia Legislature.

From this week’s Southern Voice:

On Feb. 10, conservative Christian groups rallied on the state Capitol steps to bring attention to their highest priorities: defeating the referendum that would allow Sunday alcohol sales in stores; school vouchers; restricting stem cell and in vitro fertilization; and statements opposing the proposed casino in Underground Atlanta.

“Generally we’re pleased,” Georgia Christian Coalition President Jim Beck said. “I would probably give them [state lawmakers] a B+ if I had to. I can’t think of anything we wanted them to do [that they didn’t do], just a few missed opportunities.”
