| | Robertson Apologizes for Chavez Assassination Remarks |
 | | Richard Cizik, vice-president for governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals, was online Thursday, Aug. 25, at noon ET to discuss the backlash against conservative broadcaster Pat Robertson's comments calling for the removal of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. |
 | | Richard Cizik: The NAE was founded in 1942 to be a voice for the evangelical cause, and today represents, both through the office for governmental affairs, which I direct, and other ministries, over 45,000 churches, 54 denominations, and a constituency of some 30 million evangelicals. |
 | | The NAE, to be clear, has not changed its position, which is that if no crime, no matter how heinous, warrants the death penalty, then the value of life itself is undermined. |
