Below is a link I got from Sojourners. It's worth the read, and you can sign the petition.

*****************
God is Not a Republican. Or a Democrat.
Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and others on the Religious Right
claim that God has taken a side in this election, and that
Christians should only vote for George W. Bush. The Bush-Cheney
campaign even told volunteers it was their "duty" to make church
directories available to their campaign.
"It is the responsibility of...every evangelical Christian
...to get serious about re-electing President Bush."
- Jerry Falwell, The New York Times, July 16, 2004
How has the love of Jesus, the Prince of Peace - and his good
news to the poor - been distorted by the pro-war, pro-rich
political agenda of the Religious Right? Our faith has been
hijacked, and it's time to take it back!
Click below to sign our petition and send a message to America
that God is not a Republican or a Democrat, and that the
Religious Right does not speak for you. Remind America that
Jesus taught us to be peacemakers, advocates for the poor, and
defenders of justice.
With your help, Sojourners will also place a full-page
advertisement in The New York Times, followed by local newspaper
and online ads across the United States.
Please forward this e-mail to your family and friends. Tell
faithful citizens to make their voices heard.
Sign the petition, support the campaign, and spread the word.
Together we can take back our faith!
