WASHINGTON, DC (CWN) - A Christian political lobbying group warned on Sunday that many conservative Christians may stay away from the polls on Election Day rather than vote for Bob Dole.
Martin Mawyer, president of the Christian Action Network, wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post that many pro-family conservative Christians feel ignored or betrayed by the Republican challenger to President Bill Clinton.
Mawyer criticized Dole's continued emphasis on economic policies, instead of concentrating on family issues and moral values. "When a candidate ignores our issues, we ignore him," said Mawyer. "He seems not to have noticed that our schools have begun to teach our children that homosexuality is normal, natural and healthy. Would Dole support or oppose the ongoing promotion of the gay rights agenda in virtually every Washington agency?"
Christina Martin, a spokeswoman for Dole, said the campaign believes Christian voters know what's at stake and will turn out for Dole. "Pro-life, pro-family conservatives will be active on Election Day because there is only one candidate out there who favors such liberal ideas as nine-month abortions, as gays in the military, as condoms for school kids, and that is Bill Clinton," she said.
