Looks like Cincys own Phil Burress is going to build a statewide pressure group:
..accordin to this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/26/national/26gay.html?ex=1259125200&en=107793e8a743a3fd&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland)
Beyond that, Mr. Burress plans to take his grass-roots movement in Ohio to a new level, using a computer database of 1.5 million voters to build a network of Christian conservative officials, candidates and political advocates.
He envisions holding town-hall-style meetings early next year in Ohio's 88 counties to identify issues, recruit organizers and train volunteers. With a cadre of 15 to 20 leaders in each county, he says he believes religious conservatives can be running school boards, town councils and county prosecutors' offices across the state within a few years.
"I'm building an army," Mr. Burress said. "We can't just let people go back to the pews and go to sleep."
...and awaaay we go!
