…ght the vote for white, native-born women. The WTCU joined forces with the American Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1890 merged with the National Woman Suffrage Association, founded by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in 1869.

Ralph Reed’s Divinely Profitable Mission: Defeating Democrats

By Peter Montgomery

…volved as a “divine appointment.” Not one to think small, Reed pledges to contact 27 million conservative voters between 7 and 12 times this year with turnout messages. And he hopes to have a $100 million budget by 2015. With the Wisconsin recall election as an example, Stan describes in detail what a strategist like Reed can do with access to cutting-edge technology and the bottomless pockets of guys like the Koch brothers.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…right rejects gays and lesbians. A commenter on that post encouraged me to contact Gushee and ask if his opinion had changed. I contacted Gushee who was gracious enough to respond and offer his thoughts. He was also kind enough to give me permission to share some of his email in this essay.

…nent facts about the employers’ health plan, such as who their insurer is, contact information for the insurer and what type of plan it is. Ave Maria sent HHS a letter stating its intent to opt-out of the mandate by the November 1 deadline, but refused to name its insurer or provide any other details, which could have made it liable for up to $17 million in penalties without the injunction, which is the first to specifically block the revised acco…

By Lara Riscol

…had undermined their investigation. “You don’t release a press release and contact the media if you want to protect your children. But that’s just from a police perspective.” In a culture war against reproductive health and rights, however, drama is a key weapon. Because it works.

…of the conscious mind. On the contrary, for Jung such experiences involve contact with an awareness which is more than merely personal. He reportedly had premonitions and received messages during these states. Lucid visionary states have been sought by a wide variety of cultures, not just for the sense of euphoria, freedom, and radiant aliveness they convey, but because they were believed capable of transforming and uplifting the individual to a…

By PRA Staff

…s and the nation to fall into disarray. (Of course a person would only see American evangelicalism as itself being syncretic if they believed that capitalism and Christianity were distinct worldviews.) Barna’s questionable methodology has “revealed” a shameful statistic for the Christian Right: while 50% of Americans claim to have a biblical worldview, “only 6% actually do.” In Barna’s words, “when somebody doesn’t embrace a biblically-based world…
