A new group blog website, FaithfulDemocrats.com, went live today. It was founded by former Democratic party chairman David Wilhelm. The Washington Post also features a writeup about the new website:
"It struck me as strange that people whose political world is motivated by faith had to be Republican. Democrats need to be on the playing field," said Wilhelm, who recalls the unfriendly reception he received 13 years ago when, as chairman of the Democratic Party, he suggested to Christian Coalition members that good Christians could belong to either party.
He said the new Internet site will give religious Democrats "the moral support and some language they can use."
The nonprofit Web venture was conceived by Wilhelm and Chicago-based Democratic activist Jesse Lava. Tennessee state Sen. Roy Herron, a former minister, and Rev. Romal Tune, founder of the Washington D.C.-based Clergy Strategic Alliances, are co-chairmen.
