Alabama vs. the Christian Coalition

Senate filibuster going into second week


MONTGOMERY, Ala. A filibuster in the state Senate will stretch into a second week. The filibuster started Tuesday over a bill that has already passed the House. The bill would require groups to disclose their contributors if they run ads to influence the outcome of an election, referendum or vote on a bill in the Legislature.

The filibuster continued today for two and one-half hours before the Senate adjourned until next week, when the filibuster will resume.

Opponents say the bill is aimed at crippling the Christian Coalition. Its sponsor, state Representative Randy Hinshaw, says it would bring more openness to the political process.

4. The Christian Coalition

Lol- they are about the furthest thing from Christ on the face of the Earth. They should be ashamed for trying to push racism & bigotry onto our state under the "Christian" label.

This Christian is 100% against this BS organization. Anything that would cripple them would make my day!
