Hi this is Grant from the Matthew 25 Network. Today we saw our first hard attack against Sen. Obama on Christian Radio. Which Kos Front Paged. This broadcast will reach millions of listeners on stations where little positive news about Sen. Obama is broadcast. The Matthew 25 Network is a PAC of religious leaders, theologians, pastors, congregants and parishioners, and people who believe that religion should not be used to divide and instill fear but instead call on the better angels or our nature and call us to a higher purpose than ourselves. As a PAC, we will be making the case to the very same voters Dr. Dobson spoke to today that Sen. Obama's message of hope and service is precisely the kind of message our nation needs.
Many of the folks that listen to radio stations like the ones Focus on the Family is carried on rely on those sources for their news. Imagine if a Pro-Obama ad ran directly after Dr. Dobson’s diatribe today, saying that ending this War, fighting Poverty, and addressing Global Warming - Now Those are Gospel Values.
Like BenGoshi said in the Diary on the Rec List "Read The Beatitudes Before You Vote." The Matthew 25 Network is resolved around policies for the least of these.
This week our first print ads ran and will be seen by over 200,000 Catholics and Evangelicals in the coming days. The next step is Christian radio.
There has been a lot of indignation on Daily Kos today, and rightly so, for the remarks of Dr. Dobson. You can DO something about it! Donate to our Act Blue Account so we can run ads back-to-back against Dobson. He promised today there would be more segments along these lines – lets have an answer ready.
For too long we have not responded on these stations, in these magazines, and with positive Christian voices. This year, this cycle, that all changes. With your Help. If you cannot donate, join up on our website or facebook page, as we organize in the coming weeks.

Update: Just wanted to thank everyone for keeping us on the rec list and raising $3,000 in one afternoon. What an Amazing Statement! I'll keep everyone posted as more ads start to run. You all paid for a bunch today!
