Faith & Freedom Leaders Attend Chuck Colson Memorial in Washington, DC

“Chuck Colson was one of the most influential evangelical leaders of the past half century. After a career in hardball politics, he devoted his life to ministering to prisoners and sharing the Gospel’s message of love and hope to millions. His contribution to the growing cultural influence of evangelicals was difficult to overstate. The first book I read after coming to Christ was Chuck’s Watergate memoir, “Born Again.”. Both the book and Chuck’s ministry had a major impact on me and countless others. I will miss him terribly.”

-Founder and Chairman, Ralph Reed

STATEMENT BY RALPH REED, CHAIRMAN OF FAITH & FREEDOM COALITION, ON OBAMA’S SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Four years ago 2008 Barack Obama promised if elected not to raise taxes on those making less than $250,000, pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term—and made clear his support for traditional marriage.  All those promises are now broken.  At a time of high unemployment and severe economic distress, President Obama chose the week he launched his re-election campaign to flip-flop on same-sex marriage.  Combined with his administration’s opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, it reveals a president who is tone-deaf and out-of-touch with the time-honored values of millions of Americans.  This is an unanticipated gift to the Romney campaign.  It is certain to fuel a record turnout of voters of faith to the polls this November.

Politico: Start your engines: The race for NASCAR votes

“I think you are going to see the most muscular and robust turnout operation directed at conservatives and center-right voters that you have ever seen,” Reed told POLITICO.

In addition to sponsoring a car, Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition also had about 25 volunteers also on the ground in Richmond helping register voters as part of its nationwide Champion the Vote campaign, which has a goal of registering 2 million new voters and directly contacting 37 million voters before the November election.

“We have found in our polling a significant overlap among the NASCAR vote and the faith-based vote,” said Reed, who estimates that 20 percent of NASCAR fans aren’t registered to vote.

Faith & Freedom Coalition Sponsors #32 car in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Last weekend, the Faith & Freedom Coalition sponsored FAS Lane Racing’s car #32 driven by Reed Sorenson, in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at the Richmond International Raceway in Virginia.   FFC is believed to be the first pro-family organization to sponsor a car in a NASCAR race.

“There are an estimated 75 million NASCAR fans, many of whom live in battleground states like Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.  This vote has significant overlap with the evangelical and Tea Party vote,” observed Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition.  “An estimated 20% of NASCAR fans are not registered to vote.  They tend to be pro-family, patriotic, and conservative in their values.  Sponsoring this car is part of our strategy to insure that every conservative and faith-based voter in America is registered to vote and goes to the polls in 2012.”
