Christian Coalition Losing State Affiliates

The Alabama, Iowa, and Ohio chapters of the Christian Coalition of America have become so disgusted with the focus of the organization under its post-Ralph Reed leadership that they have severed their ties with the organization. These former state affiliates are not upset with the national group for what you might expect, however, that being the scandalous behavior in which its leadership has engaged. Rather, they are upset at the lack of attention being paid to abortion and same-sex marriage, the focusing of too much attention on lobbying for "net neutrality" and, in the case of Alabama, the campaigning in favor of a tax increase.

This underscores for me the reality that the Christian Coalition is merely another arm of the corrupt modern Republican Party machine. Like the machine's hub, Grover Norquist, the local affiliates are only concerned about vote-moving issues like abortion and gay marriage and have abandoned any interest in promoting Christian values.
