		<description><![CDATA[The 2008 Senatorial election in North Carolina, one of the most competitive in the country as incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole&#8217;s edge over challenging Democrat Kay Hagan in the polls has disintegrated in a matter of months, has just turned into a referendum on civil rights for nonbelievers.
This morning, Dole&#8217;s campaign office released an action alert warning her constituents that her competitor would be heading to Boston for a fundraiser, which &#8220;will be in the home of leading anti religion activists Wendy Kaminer and her lawyer husband Woody Kaplan &#8212; who is an advisor to the &#8220;Godless Americans Political Action Committee&#8221; and the alert also warns that &#8220;Kaminer is also an advisory board member (Woody is the chairman) of The Secular Coalition for America.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2008 Senatorial election in North Carolina, one of the most competitive in the country as incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole&#8217;s edge over challenging Democrat Kay Hagan in the polls has disintegrated in a matter of months, has just turned into a referendum on civil rights for nonbelievers.</p>
<p>This morning, Dole&#8217;s campaign office released <a href="http://www.elizabethdole.org/docs/articles/Godless-Americans-PAC.html">an action alert</a> warning her constituents that her competitor would be heading to Boston for <span style="x-small;">a fundraiser, which &#8220;</span><span style="small;"><span style="x-small;">will be in the home of leading anti religion activists Wendy Kaminer and her lawyer husband Woody Kaplan &#8212; who is an advisor to the &#8220;Godless Americans Political Action Committee&#8221; and the alert also warns that &#8220;</span></span><span style="small;"><span style="x-small;">Kaminer is also an advisory board member (Woody is the chairman) of The Secular Coalition for America.&#8221; </span></span></p>
<p><span style="small;"><span style="x-small;">&#8220;Kay Hagan is trying to run a campaign in North Carolina that casts her as a moderate but the money that&#8217;s paying for it is coming from <strong>the left-wing fringe of political thought</strong>,&#8221; said Dole Campaign Communications Director Dan McLagan. </span></span><span style="small;"><span style="x-small;">&#8220;Kay Hagan does not represent the values of this state; she is a Trojan Horse for a long list of wacky left-wing outside groups bent on policies that would horrify most North Carolinians if they knew about it,&#8221; McLagan went on.  &#8220;This latest revelation of support from anti-religion activists will not sit well with the 90% of state residents who identify with a specific religious faith.&#8221; </span></span></p>
<p>Any secular person, or even religious person, who does not appreciate having all non-religious Americans collectively tarred and feathered as a &#8220;wacky left-wing outside group&#8221; whose beliefs and Constitutional rights &#8220;would horrify most North Carolinians,&#8221; can make a cash contribution to her opponent <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/khagan">here</a>.</p>
<p>If you wish to contact Senator Dole&#8217;s office and demand the immediate censure, dismissal, and condemnation of Dan McLagan for his obvious personal disdain for the non-religious (<a href="http://pewforum.org/religion08/state.php?StateID=19">12% of North Carolina&#8217;s citizens are not religious, and 20% of them &#8220;seldom or never&#8221; attend religious meetings</a>), her office can be <a href="http://www.elizabethdole.org/contact/index.aspx">contacted at</a> info@elizabethdole.org for email, 704-633-0014 for her telephone switchboard.</p>
