	Religious Movements Homepage: Christian Coalition
		Legally, the Christian Coalition is restricted from "directly or indirectly intervening in elections and involvement in campaigns generally must not be their 'primary' purpose" (Sabato and Simpson 112).
		The Christian Coalition supported the 104th Congress' "Contract With America." When the Christian Coalition unvailed their own "Contract With the American Family," virtually every conservative Congressman and Senator was on hand for the press conference.
		The Christian Coalition Home Page provides articles on current events that reinforce the Christian Coalition's beliefs, information on how to become involved in the movement, and surveys that allow the public to voice their opinions on issues like the government and education.

	Christian Coalition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Christian Coalition of America offers people of faith the vehicle to be actively involved in shaping their government - from the County Courthouse to the halls of Congress[2].
		Under the leadership of Robertson and Ralph Reed, the Coalition quickly became the loudest voice in the conservative Christian movement, its influence culminating with an effort to support the election of a conservative Christian to the presidency in 1996.
		In both the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections, voter mobilization efforts of conservative Christians tended to be focused internally within the machinery of the Republican Party, as opposed to lobby groups and voter mobilization organizations such as the Christian Coalition.

	People For the American Way - Christian Coalition of America
		At the height of its influence, the Christian Coalition was best known for the distribution of slanted voter guides and political surveys and for its strategy of urging conservative Christian candidates to conduct stealth campaigns to win elections.
		In 2000, the Christian Coalition launched what they claim was their biggest election year campaign ever, distributing 70 million voter guides to their members and conservative churches in every state.
		The Christian Coalition's initial approach to elections, popularly known as "stealth" tactics, has three essential parts: targeting low-profile elections that normally attract few voters, focusing get-out-the-vote efforts on certain conservative churches, and instructing the candidates to hide their views from the public by avoiding public appearances and refusing to fill out questionnaires.

		Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed explained that the voter guides allow candidates and campaigners to bypass "expensive and biased media." On one piece of paper, the Coalition makes a chart showing pictures of the Democratic and Republican candidates for Senate, Governor, and Congressional seats.
		As the Christian Right continues to march steadily, though less noisily, toward assuming political power, movement leaders are now debating their future as unyielding moral crusaders, as rank-and-file Republicans, or as some combination of both.
		While the Christian Right stands to mature in the process of charting its own course, liberal centrist critics of the movement seem to be wearing blinders; they continue to depict politically active evangelicals as "extremists" somehow outside of or not belonging to "mainstream" culture, let alone everyday party politics.

	Washingtonpost.com: IRS Denies Christian Coalition Tax-Exempt Status
		Friday, June 11, 1999; Page A4 The IRS has rejected the Christian Coalition's 10-year struggle to win tax-exempt status, dealing a major setback to a mainstay of the Republican Party and to the political-business empire that turned broadcaster Pat Robertson into a power broker of the religious right.
		The IRS action is virtually certain to make conservative pastors, concerned about risking their charitable status, reluctant to maintain their close ties to the Christian Coalition, and less willing to distribute its controversial voter guides and other material, according to supporters and critics of the coalition.
		The coalition's claim of tax-exempt status while its application was pending eased the concerns of churches over distributing the voter guides and gave the organization the necessary imprimatur of nonpartisanship.
