Our 2008 Primary Voter’s Guide is now available. It contains information about candidates’ stances on church-state separation taken from Florida Today, the Christian Coalition, the Florida Family Planning Council, and our own experiences. You can get to it from our left menu bar or this link:

Please let me know if you are aware of any more information that should be included (click the “Contact Us” link on the menu bar).

Don’t forget to vote next Tuesday (8/26)!

As usual, they’ve done most of our work for us by asking similar questions. I’ll post the answers on our website as well, but I wanted to get these out to you ASAP since the election is next week:
