Falwell Plans for 'Evangelical Revolution'

Tue Nov 9,10:43 PM ET U.S. National - AP

By HANK KURZ Jr., Associated Press Writer

RICHMOND, Va. - Seeking to take advantage of the momentum from an
election where moral values proved important to voters, the Rev.
Jerry Falwell announced Tuesday he has formed a new coalition to
guide an "evangelical revolution."

Falwell, a religious broadcaster based in Lynchburg, Va., said the
Faith and Values Coalition will be a "21st century resurrection of
the Moral Majority," the organization he founded in 1979.

Falwell said he would serve as the coalition's national chairman for
four years.

He added that the new group's mission would be to lobby for anti-
abortion conservatives to fill openings on the Supreme Court and
lower courts, a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage,
and the election of another "George Bush (news - web sites)-type"
conservative in 2008.

"We all, for the first time, began to realize the potential of
religious conservatives, particularly evangelicals, when something
over 30 million of them went to the polls," he said, noting most
supported the president and anti-abortion candidates, and voted to
approve 11 initiatives across the country banning gay marriage.

Also, a decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Court allowing gay
marriages "helped energize our people," Falwell said.

And when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom began performing gay
marriages, it "really caught the attention of people of faith in
this country, and what we have been saying could happen actually
happened," he said.

"The timing could not have been better. That, along with the
abortion issues and the terrorism issue, helped us to get our people
awakened."

While overseeing the coalition, Falwell said he would leave day-to-
day operations of Liberty University and Thomas Road Baptist Church ?
both of which he founded ? to his sons Jerry Jr., 42, and Jonathan,
38.

Mathew Staver, founder of the conservative law group Liberty Counsel
in Orlando, Fla., will be the coalition's vice chairman; Jonathan
Falwell will be its executive director. Theologian Tim LaHaye will
be the board chairman.

Wouldn't that be ironic.

I actually thought it would be great if Saturday Night Live did
a skit with him and the purple tele-tubby(the one he railed against
as a homosexual influence on children) making out passionately.

Falwell would sue and lose again.
