    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Don  Swarthout, founder of <a href="http://www.christians4america.com/whoweare.htm">Christians  Reviving America's ValuEs</a> [C.R.A.V.E.]-  a low-level right-wing group that occasionally <a href="http://christiannewswire.com/news/919586232.html">pops up on the radar</a> by announcing things like its bold plans to launch a brigade of “Patriotic  Pastors to come together and fight today's cultural wars in America” – is  announcing the <a href="http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/386467693.html">formation  of a new PAC</a> which he claims will expose Barack Obama and his ties to “Black  Liberation Theology”:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Swarthout said that Honor America PAC is currently  purchasing radio ads in Colorado and Pennsylvania to  encourage voters to learn more about Obama's ties to Black Liberation Theology  by going to <a href="http://www.obamareligion.net/">www.ObamaReligion.net</a>.</p>
<p>Swarthout said, "We are in the process of raising funds  to put more radio ads on the air in key swing states.  If you want to help, please go to the web  site and contribute to Honor America PAC so we can continue to inform the  American public about "Barack Obama and Black Liberation Theology."</p>
<p>"This 'theology' alone is reason enough for people NOT  to vote for Barack Obama," Swarthout concluded.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And once  this effort fails to make any impact whatsoever, Swarthout will presumably go  back to his day job <a href="http://www.donswarthoutministries.com/">begging  for invitations</a> to speak at your church:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I have grown in my ministry to the point where I believe  that religion is the only true answer we have with which to answer the problems  America  is facing today.</p>
<p>During the past few years I have come to the conclusion that  the answer for all of our national problems lies in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  That awakening has led to a tremendous growth in my life. I would love to share  what I have learned with your Congregation.</p>
<p>One of the secrets is that as Christians we have a right to  expect a government based upon the principles of Christianity instead of a  government based upon the lies of the devil.</p>
<p>Yet another secret is the principles of good government are  exactly the same principles as the principles of Christianity.</p>
<p>If you would like to invite me to speak to your Church  Congregation or to your organization you may contact me at 859/219-1222 to  verify a potential date to have me speak in your facility.</p>
<p>GOD CALLED ME TO BE A WATCHMAN, AN EVANGELIST AND AN  ADVOCATE FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA  AND FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.</p>
