It has just gotten really nasty in NC Senate Race (Charges of Godlessness)
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 10:53 AM by Perky
Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s latest advertisement suggests her Democratic opponent, Kay Hagan, is a godless heathen.

“A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan,” the 30-second spot says, showing footage of the group’s members talking about their atheist beliefs on cable news.

“Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money,” the ad concludes. “What did Kay Hagan promise in return?”

At the very end of the ad, a voice sounding like Hagan's says: "There is no God."

The ad is airing across North Carolina.

The ad bases the charge on Hagan’s attendance at a netroots fundraiser on her behalf that was hosted by two advisers of the Godless Americans’ political action committee. According to its website, the group advocates for atheists' rights.

Hagan is holding a press conference with her pastor and family this afternoon to rebut the charges. Hagan is an member (and elder) at the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro.

6. She says "Godless" like it's a BAD thing.
Kay Hagan for North Carolina
Democratic candidate in 2008 for US Senator from North Carolina.

The following is information on where Kay stands on some of the issues affecting North Carolina families. Washington is broken, and the special interests have too much power in Congress. We need to send a proven, North Carolina problem solver like Kay Hagan to Washington to be a voice for working North Carolina families and get our country back on track.

In the U.S. Senate, Kay Hagan will stand up for North Carolina’s working families and put North Carolina’s best interests first.

If there is an issue or policy that you would like Kay to address, or would like to give feedback on Kay’s stand on an issue, please send an email to: MyVoice@KayHagan.com .

Who We Are

The Godless Americans PAC grew out of the historic "Godless Americans March on Washington" (GAMOW) held on November 2, 2002 in Washington, DC.

For the first time in history, our nation’s diverse community of Atheists, Freethinkers, Secular Humanists and others who do not embrace religious creeds marched together for civil rights, the separation of state and church, and their full recognition as American citizens.

We demanded "a place at the table" in this great discussion known as democracy.

Ellen Johnson, President of American Atheists and Chairwoman of the GAMOW Task Force noted: "Every other group in American history, from women suffragettes to blacks, gays and even the religious right has taken those first steps toward recognition by marching on our nation’s capital. It’s now our turn!"

Looking out across the crowd assembled that day on the Mall in Washington, Johnson told the thousands of participants at GAMOW that she did not see isolated Atheists and other nonbelievers.

"I see a potential voting bloc. I see a new movement ready to assert its political and cultural influence in America."

The Godless Americans Political Action Committee was born. GAMPAC, like GAMOW, does not claim to represent every Atheist, Freethinker, Secular Humanist or other nonbeliever in the United States. It does, however, provide those who wish to participate a voice, a strategy, a vehicle in promoting the policies we embrace. It allows us to endorse political candidates who support our vision of a secular America, one where our right to freedom of and freedom From religion is valued and protected.

8. There is a Godless Americans PAC?
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 10:51 AM by kenny blankenship
And I'm not on their email solicitation list? WTF???
Oh RIIIGHT! I get it now: the godless americans pac is a fictional entity. Once you believe in one fictional entity, believing in the existence of another fictional entity, or hundreds of others, is no problem.
