Someone tipped us to an article in the Houston Chronicle from this weekend regarding the Texas Restoration Project, a "non-partisan" group that seems to be serving as a get-out-the-vote front for Perry. Very shady.

Texas Restoration Project, which organized the voter-registration drive, says the effort is an attempt to bring morality to government by empowering Christian voters, regardless of party. But critics say the Texas Restoration Project is nothing more than an adjunct of the state Republican Party and Gov. Rick Perry's re-election campaign.
. . .
"We will have Citizenship Sundays that are intended and designed to encourage the voters then registered to turn out and vote and to vote as Christians, to vote not on the basis of their party affiliation or their economic status or their ethnic background but as Christians," White said.

Rick Perry is trying to go the "Compassionate" (read: hypocrital) Conservative route that his buddy Dubya paved. I would say that this group sounds an awful lot like a PAC, but nothing I find has stated that the group has donated money to Perry's campaign. But its members have. These are the same people who put on the forum where preachers blamed Katrina on the gays.

If God is actually speaking to these idiots, we hope they get some hearing aids.

update: We actually posted on this group when they were forming. We haven't forgotten them! We will continue to keep an eye on them. . .
