Most people — and most Christians — don’t want the state to have an official religion. They don’t want the state to enforce biblical law.

and the economy are going to get much worse due to the current policies.

We need to contest every single seat, regardless of how red the district is. We need a 50 state strategy similar to what Howard Dean engineered back in '06, which by the way was a huge success.

Perhaps it is sinking in that Christian Nationalists are both Un-American and Un-Christian
