Barack Obama promises change, including change in the way he is going to fund his political campaign, but his acceptance of six figure bundled contributions and his broken promise to accept Federal campaign financing and matching limits is just more of the same old stuff. On the other hand, Obama has certainly delivered change in the use of innovative campaign financing methods such as illegal and possibly rigged lotteries, and the diversion of tax exempt church resources for self-serving purposes. We encourage our readers to circulate this "Churchgate" story as widely as possible so the starry-eyed idealists who still idolize this fraud, phony, and empty suit will realize that they are worshiping an individual with few ethics, few principles, and no character.

We recommend circulation of this story under the name "Churchgate" to suggest a scandal, just as the Dems are talking about "Troopergate."

This is admittedly old news, but we need to treat it as new news until the election. Obama's groupies idolize him partly because he seems to run his campaign on $5 to $25 from "little, ordinary people who donate whatever they can afford." We can dispel that illusion by showing that he takes six figure bundled contributions, runs illegal and possibly rigged lotteries, and misuses tax exempt church resources. There are also allegations about his acceptance of illegal contributions from foreign (Palestinian) sources, although his campaign returned them when it "found out" about them.

he is directly and personally responsible for his deliberate, premeditated, and willful misuse of the United Church of Christ's tax exempt resources to support his campaign.

Old news it may be, but I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for posting it.

Imagine if a Republican had done that....

Just wait until the news breaks about how the Catholic Church has been funding Barak Obama. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development has been funding to the tune of millions of dollars a ‘community organizing’ group called ACORN which is nothing less than a left wind political group connected to Obama. When the full story comes out, the Catholic Church could well lose its tax exempt status. You should call the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops office in Washington DC and ask for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Ask has much money has been given in grants to ACORN in the past 20 years.
