Weird Tract Number 89: "1998 Christian Coalition California Voter Guide" by The Christian Coalition

Troy Davis writes:

I was living in California in 1998 and I forget how I got this Christian Coalition Voter Guide. Nutjob televangelist Pat Robertson founded The Christian Coalition as a political outfit to take up the slack because of the decline of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority (see the museum's Moral Majority artifact here). Under the leadership of oleaginous grifter Ralph Reed, the coalition became influential in the 1990s. It sputtered in the early 21st century and pretty much exists in name only.

Like a lot of sectarian Right groups, the Coalition created voter scorecards that gave numerical rankings to political candidates and issues (this particular one supported Proposition 228 which would have ended compulsory union dues). Another group, Christian Voice, had voter scorecards in the 80s; columnist Mike Royko had a hilarious column on those candidates Christian Voice deemed as moral and immoral.
