"Keep false and foolish things far from me..."

As Christians, we find John McCain's recent ad "The
One" incredibly offensive. This ad tries to portray Senator Obama
as some kind of Messiah and mocks those who support him as cult-like
followers looking for a new Savior. Even more troubling, many view
the ad as a dark attempt to portray Senator Obama as an anti-Christ
figure.
Join us
in calling on Sen. McCain to repudiate this ad and take it down immediately.
Sign the petition.

If we're going to put away falsehood in our community,
we're going to need everyone to help. You can do your part to put
an end to the rumors and the falsehood by standing up for the truth!
Here are some ways to help put away falsehood...
- Know the facts. Check out our
Falsehoods and Facts
page and arm yourself with the truth.
- Stand up! When you hear someone
spreading falsehoods about Barack Obama, don't be afraid to share
the truth. Proverbs 30 reminds us that we have a responsibility
to distance ourselves from "false and foolish things."
We can disagree on the issues, but we ought not be ignorant of the
truth when making a choice as important as our President.
- Reply to the emails. Most of the
falsehoods about Sen. Obama are being spread through forwarded emails.
When you get one of those emails, use our handy email
tool to reply to the sender with the facts.
- Write letters and call radio stations!
If you see these falsehoods in your local paper or hear them on
your local radio station, share the truth. Call into the station
or write a letter to the paper. And, please send
us a "tip," so we can help respond.
