Dominionism 101- Frederick Clarkson

Dominionism is making rapid progress infiltrating school boards, election boards, local politics,
guiding many execrable Republican legislative proposals. The Dominionist strategy is to "flood the zone" with so many candidates, initiatives, and legislation that they will transform America into a biblical nation from the bottom up.

To do so, they have created Christian Bill Mill, Project Blitz, similar to ALEC to draft legislation with a "biblical" world view, and are promoting transformation of school curriculum by Hillsdale College alums.

Frederick Clarkson is a long-time writer about Dominionism, and has a good 101 on it for those not familiar.
