In an unprecedented move, a major conservative
Christian advocacy group in the United States will
include the voting records of American legislators on Israel in its biennial Christian voting guide.
The Christian Voter Guide, which is put out by
right-wing 'Christian Coalition of America' every two years ahead of American Congressional and Presidential elections has previously only included American domestic social issues, with the guide now branching out to deal with American's foreign relations for the first time.
"It is very important for people of faith to know
where our legislators stand on support for Israel," said Roberta Combs, President of the 'Christian Coalition of America' in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Jerusalem Post from her home in South Carolina. "Our heart is with Israel," she added.
Founded in 1989 by the Reverend Pat Robertson, the
Christian Coalition of America is one of the largest and most active Christian organizations in the United States, boasting some 2 million supporters.
