Bush Adviser Rove Tells Religious Right That Agenda Will Be Reality.

March 2005 Church & State | People & Events
Presidential strategist Karl Rove has urged members of the Religious Right to be patient, reminding them that it may take some time to engineer the changes they want to see in American society.

“Now we’ve got a big job ahead of us – that is to take the agenda we talked about in the campaign and make it a reality,” Rove told attendees at the Christian Inaugural Gala in Washington. “We also have to be patient because not everything is going to be done overnight.”

The Jan. 19 event, sponsored by the Traditional Values Coalition and other Religious Right organizations, also featured an appearance by Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, who thanked Religious Right activists for helping re-elect Bush.

U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) spoke at the event as well. Thune, who unseated Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle with the help of James Dobson of Focus on the Family, said passage of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage is a possibility.
