Reply #39: I've been asking that same question...

I read a really cool article written on behalf of Christian churches and organizations that explained how single issue voting (abortion) is not morally responsible, and that Christians should consider many issues (including poverty, health care, wages, education, the environment, etc.) before voting.

The reality though, as I've experienced it in Texas, is that many people are voting for Republicans based on "values" propaganda. Somehow, if the values or basic ideals of the Democratic party were defined for them, and contrasted with the Republicans' disregard for the common people, MAYBE it would make a difference. I'm just not sure how to reach this audience.
