Throughout the South, Southwest, and Midwest churches passed out flyers identifying candidate voting records on social issues and encouraging their congregations to vote accordingly. A similar flyer was passed out to help people 'know' how to vote in state and local races and identified newcomers as those 'most likely' to support conservative issues of 'God, Guns, and No-Gays'. These flyers were passed out in workplaces, such as my own. It was actually a little intimidating....even on me, a person a little too old for such tactics to really work. There were also announced prayer vigils for the Bush administration, frequent ones, during the early years after 9-11 and through the Iraq war. After 10-15 years of this, lawsuits arose challenging these tactics. The largest Baptist church in my area....rich and with congreagation in the thousands....fought back and almost lost it's non-profit status. I doubt though that this has stopped, its just less overt now, I suspect.
