Thousands of family advocates — mostly CitizenLink readers — have sent e-mails to an anti-Dobson Web site, expressing their support for Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action.
A "coalition of pastors and other Christians" launched the Web site after Dr. Dobson's Tuesday radio broadcast, in which he challenged Sen. Barack Obama's views on Scripture and the role of religion in the public square.
"I think he's deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology," Dr. Dobson said.
The Web site, which attempts to compare statements from Obama and Dobson, is trying to collect signatures of those who disagree with Dr. Dobson.
Instead, the site is collecting hundreds of e-mails in support of Dr. Dobson.
"I can't stress enough the importance of being respectful and polite in your messages," said Gary Schneeberger, vice president for media relations at Focus on the Family Action. "We've received our fair share of phone calls and e-mails from people who disagree with Dr. Dobson, and I'm sad to say many of them have been irate and disrespectful, and a few have been vulgar — even from self-described Christians.
"Let's defend the truth, and let's do it with passion, but let's do it in a way that reflects well on Jesus."
TAKE ACTION
If you support Dr. Dobson and appreciate his strong stand for Christ, please send a respectful e-mail to the anti-Dobson Web site.
