First of all, I consider the Christian Coalition to be a disgrace to us fellow Christians.

So on to Ralph Reed, who resigned from CC to be more of a "familiy man"? This meant becoming a lobbyist that charges $380,000 to help Enron through his "good friend" in Washington.

For a $380,000 fee, the conservative political strategist proposed a broad lobbying strategy that included using major campaign contributors, conservative talk shows and nonprofits to press Congress for favorable legislation. Reed said he could place letters from community leaders in the opinion pages of major newspapers, producing clips that Reed would "blast fax" to Capitol Hill.

"We are a loyal member of your team and are prepared to do whatever fits your strategic plan," Reed wrote in an Oct. 23, 2000, memo obtained by The Washington Post.
