I was up all night thinking about Blackwater's connection to the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family. As Christians we should be sending out emails, connecting by blog, writing press releases reading:
FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS
Erik Prince, CEO of Blackwater USA, has donated millions of dollars to the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family. These organizations purport to be Christian based with core principles of reverence for life, freedom and democracy, despite evidence of adherence to Christ's most basic teachings about caring for the poor, loving one's neighbor and making peace in the world.
Blackwater is currently under investigation for lawless activities and brutal killings in Iraq. Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council should publicly denounce the activities of Blackwater and no longer accept donations from this mercenary and immoral company that resembles a growing, well funded private army. If these Christian organizations do not publicly condemn Blackwater for its illegal and anti-Christian activities then they can no longer be considered the representatives of rational Christian Evangelical Americans but must be viewed as radical, extremists who accept donations from unscrupulous persons and businesses to the detriment of our troop safety and to the United States fostering peace in the Middle East and around the world.
