Despite narrow loss in Michigan, Santorum still rising in Ohio with to Christian pastors
As if we needed more proof of the power of the Church vote, the polls now show YOU are making a big difference in the GOP primary race, with stunning results after we faxed free voter guides to 29,000+ pastors. Read our free voter guides here, and then please donate to help us educate thousands more pastors here, before Super Tuesday next week.
For example, look at the change YOU made in evangelical voters minds in Michigan, where Rick Santorum rose from 5% and 25 points behind Mitt Romney one month ago (before our faxes to pastors), to 36% and a narrow 2 point loss this Tuesday (after our faxes to pastors). Again, I have not endorsed any candidate in this race, but our non-partisan voter guides woke the church vote, with a 31 point change since our faxes, according to RealClearPolitics.com:
Next week is Super Tuesday, when 10 important states will vote. We are already faxing our free voter guides to 29,000 pastors in those states, mobilizing potentially 290,000 adult Christian voters to rock the GOP race. LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OHIO, before and after your faxes to pastors, according to RealClearPolitics.com:
Notice before our voter guides were faxed to 4,231 Christian pastors across Ohio, Senator Santorum had only 9.5% of Ohio’s vote and trailed Mitt Romney by 14%. But Santorum now shows a solid 8-point lead over Romney, having risen 24 points to 34.3% of the vote.
Can anybody explain this rise, except that pastors are mobilizing church voters? (The exact same pastors to whom YOU helped fax our free voter guides?) YOU ROCK.
But we still need to raise about $1,000 this week, to complete our fax campaign to educate pastors in WA, AK, GA, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA, WY, KS. So please help wake the church vote before Super Tuesday. It’s not too late, but we’re out of time!
In case nobody noticed, YOU made a shocking difference in the GOP primary race, since you helped us fax free voter guides to 13,000+ pastors in mid-January. To be fair,
I have not endorsed any candidates for office. But our non-partisan voter guides are shocking America by waking hundreds of thousands of church voters. Here’s proof:
Rick Santorum (who won our straw poll last month) is now up from 14.2% to 33.7% nationally, over the same five weeks since we started faxing free voter guides to pastors.
It’s also no coincidence that Santorum won Minnesota and Colorado, which states we specifically targeted for faxes to pastors 3 weeks before they voted (see charts far below).
Mitt Romney on the other hand (who came in last in our straw poll), has dropped slightly nationwide from 31.6% to 28.3%, especially after big losses in Minnesota and Colorado, where we faxed those same voter guides to thousands of pastors.
Does anybody doubt our strategy of faxing free voter guides to pastors is actually moving the polls nationwide? Look at the difference, in this chart from RealClearPolitics.com:
Does Mitt Romney really favor homosexual adoptions of kids? Pastors know the answer, because we partnered with SaveAmerica.com and Randy Thomasson to fax this free non-partisan voter guide to over 13,609 churches in SC, FL, NV, ME, CO, and MN.
Those faxes were delivered, and those primaries are over. Now we’re faxing 15 more states voting around Super Tuesday, to equip 29,000+ more churches to vote smart.
We have matching funds (your gifts are doubled!) but I must raise $1,000 this week just to finish our fax machine work, and we need $3,226 by Super Tuesday. We need your help to educate pastors and church voters.
Now Super Tuesday is upon us. 3 states vote the week before. 10 states vote on Tuesday March 6th. 2 more states vote the week after. We must wake the church in 15 states NOW. Our fax machines will start today, reaching 29,000+ more churches.
For 22 cents we can equip an entire church, so to fax 29K churches we need $6K+, but we have matching funds, so your gifts are doubled, thus I only need $3,226 to really swing the vote. Here’s how many churches we could reach now, if we had a donor for each state:
1,735 churches in Arizona (x 22 cents = $382 needed to equip church voters)
5,020 churches in Michigan (x 22 cents = $1,104 needed to equip church voters)
2,088 churches in Washington (x 22 cents = $459 needed to equip church voters)
45 churches in Alaska (x 22 cents = $10 needed to equip church voters)
3,780 churches in Georgia (x 22 cents = $832 needed to equip church voters)
466 churches in Idaho (x 22 cents = $103 needed to equip church voters)
1,923 churches in Massachusetts (x 22 cents = $423 needed to equip church voters)
262 churches in North Dakota (x 22 cents = $80 needed to equip church voters)
4,231 churches in Ohio (x 22 cents = $931 needed to equip church voters)
2,140 churches in Oklahoma (x 22 cents = $471 needed to equip church voters)
2,715 churches in Tennessee (x 22 cents = $597 needed to equip church voters)
112 churches in Vermont (x 22 cents = $25 needed to equip church voters)
3,362 churches in Virginia (x 22 cents = $740 needed to equip church voters)
198 churches in Wyoming (x 22 cents = $44 needed to equip church voters)
1,141 churches in Kansas (x 22 cents = $251 needed to equip church voters)
TOTAL: $6452 needed (but wait, we have matching funds) = $3226 needed.
If each church had 100 adult voters, that’s 290,000 votes YOU help swing,
from 29,218 faxable pastors and churches.

Folks, please explain, why did Rick Santorum come from behind in Colorado, from being down 14%, to a 5% win? Mitt Romney had a clear lead, one week before the caucuses, but the church voters woke up, after we faxed free voter guides to their pastors. Here’s proof YOU helped wake the Colorado church vote, from RealClearPolitics.com:
Again, please help me understand, why did Rick Santorum rise from a marginal 2% lead to a shocking 18% win in Minnesota? What could possibly explain this last-minute surge? Clearly the evangelical Christian voters were energized, by the same pastors who read our faxed voter guides. Here’s proof YOU made a difference, from RealClearPolitics.com:
God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,
