	Minnesota Democrats Exposed: MN GOP: "BILL LUTHER IS TAKING FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS FOR A RIDE"
		WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Minnesota Democrat Bill Luther was not on the ballot for the U.S. House last year, but that didn't stop the former congressman from accepting $12,500 in donations and racking up $63,443 in bills for campaign office expenses, travel and gas for two pickup trucks.

	From Arrowhead to Augsburg: Bill Bright in the Light of the Lutheran Confessions - by Craig A. Parton
		Luther's doctrine of Justification, it is argued, so focuses the Christian on sin, Repentance, and the Cross, that it does not offer a serious theology of the Christian life.
		Luther, in contradistinction to preaching a moralistic "spiritual perfectionism," advised Reformation pastors that it was a sign of the new birth in Christ when a soul was terrorized by his sins and experiencing warfare with the flesh.
		Bill Bright's publicized forty-day fast is the type of medieval monastic ritual placarded by "higher life" monks in the sixteenth century.

	Minnesota Democrats Exposed: MN GOP: "BILL LUTHER IS TAKING FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS FOR A RIDE" #2
		Former Minnesota Rep. Bill Luther, out of office since 2002, accepted $12,500 in donations and generated $63,442 in bills for campaign office expenses, travel and gasoline the past two years, according to a published report.
		Luther, who spent four terms in Congress and two decades in the state Legislature, told the newspaper the expenses reflect an ongoing process of winding down campaign activities after 28 years in public life.
		Others said Luther's activity could be legitimate if he genuinely had an eye on the 2004 U.S. House race in Minnesota's 2nd District -- where he filed as a candidate in 2003 -- or even if he was laying the groundwork for a future House or Senate race.
