HOUSTON--Gary Bauer, the Washington-based conservative activist making his first appearance at a showcase for White House aspirants, all but told Texas conservatives this past weekend that he intends to run for president in 2000. The cornerstone of his campaign would be opposition to abortion and gay rights.
New York--March 30, 1998 TJ Walker, Spokesman for Americans for Religious Liberty said the following:
Gary Bauer: The Religious Right's Man to Watch, by Albert J. Menendez
"Bauer's Family Research Council (FRC) has specialized in lobbying and publishing books and articles espousing so-called 'family initiatives' such as tax breaks for families with stay-at-home mothers, elimination of the marriage penalty in federal tax policies, abstinence-based sex education programs and the like. FRC fiercely opposes abortion rights, supports vouchers and other forms of tax aid to private and religious schools and opposes civil rights legislation protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination in employment and housing. The group even sarcastically denounced hate crimes legislation because these legal proposals 'threaten to penalize individuals with religious and traditional family values.' (Since its founding a decade ago FRC seems obsessed with gay-related issues, opposing every initiative that would lessen discrimination and 'exposing' gay members of the Clinton Administration.)"
Excerpted from Americans for Religious Liberty's Voice of Reason Spring Newsletter

The organization has published 22 books on religious liberty and is a frequent resource to journalists researching church/state issues. ARL has 5000 members from all 50 states.
