<DIV><FONT size=2>Not only do I vote for and endorse, but I financially support
a local candidate with strong religious beliefs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The difference between that candidate and Bouma is that as far
as I can tell, the candidate at issue bases their political positions on
carefully considered terrestrial information. To the extent
that their religious values agree with my secular values, these values
for this candidate are based on terrestrial considerations as well as
his religious convictions. This candidate is also tolerant of religious
views that conflict their own and able to appreciate the strengths found in
other religious views. The candidate is not a "one way" bigot as is
Bouma.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am a believer in rigid separation of church and state.
Bouma seeks to greatly dismantle that barrier.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>During the primary, it became obvious to me that Bouma and his
associates not only wish to dismantle the church-state barrier, but, in
fact, have violated the tax laws by their advocacy at the pulpit of their
political views. Also, by lying to a local pastor, they flummoxed him into
providing a prayer room during the primary election day which prayed only for
Bouma and candidates with similar religious views -- another violation of
tax exemption laws. That is why I have concentrated on
Bouma.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Please do not misunderstand. Bouma and his associates
are free to advocate anything they want from the pulpit subject to the usual
free expression exclusions. However, if they choose to do that, then, by
law, they must pay taxes for that privilege like most of the rest of
do.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>For one reason, as far as I know, Schmidt does not attend
and occasionally preach in a church which mixes religion and politics
as Bouma does (as you can see from the quotes below). Another reason:
Bouma has been asked in a public forum about his religious beliefs and their
relations to his political beliefs -- he refused to answer claiming the
question out of bounds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Every candidate ought tell us what their political
positions are and why they hold those positions including their religious
reasons, if any. So far as I know no one has asked Schmidt these
questions. Perhaps someone should; perhaps you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In a previous post, I opined that it is not only
important for a candidate to state his positions, but why she/he believes
them. It is important to understand how a candidate arrives at his
conclusions in order to judge in part his desirability and/or fitness for
office.

of Christ's death on the cross to atone for all sins and such things
as God was a man once just as we are. He achieved such a state of
holiness in his flesh that he was rewarded by becoming the god of
