For the rest of you still reading, stick with me here.</div><div></div><br /><div>John Thomas' tenure as the President and General Minister of the United Church of Christ will end next year when a new President will be elected at General Synod. <a href="http://www.ucc.org/news/search-process-begins-for.html">The search committee is already beginning the process</a> and they've already asked for names of potential candidates (just email <a href="mailto:gmpsearch@aol.com">gmpsearch@aol.com</a>). I'd like to be the first to kick off the "Wright for UCC President" campaign and I hope you will join me by emailing <a href="mailto:gmpsearch@aol.com">gmpsearch@aol.com</a> with a strong recommendation that Wright be considered.</div><div></div><br /><div>Why should Wright be the next United Church of Christ President?</div><div></div><br /><div>1) Wright epitomizes the leadership of the UCC and the transition to President will be a smooth one. His "God Damn America" sermon wasn't all that different from <a href="http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/4305/1/187">John Thomas' claim</a> that the Axis of Evil “runs the length and breadth of Pennsylvania Avenue.”<br /><br />2) Wright already has <a href="http://www.ucc.org/news/executive-council-adopts-resol.html">the full support of the United Church of Christ executive council</a>. This is a big step to getting elected as President.<br /><br />3) The United Church of Christ would save at least $2-3 million in advertising costs - Wright is a walking, talking publicity machine! He literally pays his own salary for 10 years on the first day.<br /><br />4) John Thomas has already <a href="http://ucctruths.blogspot.com/2007/06/with-todays-announcement-distancing.html">destroyed our interfaith relationship with the Jewish community</a>, Wright can only be seen as an improvement.<br /><br />5) Sales of United Church of Christ merchandise and DVD's of Wright's speeches would explode based on what the news media would purchase and profits could fund new church starts all over the country<br /><br />That's enough reasons for now, I'm sure people will chime in with more ideas.<br /><br />Forward this to as many friends as you can and be sure to suggest Wright for President of the United Church of Christ by emailing <a href="mailto:gmpsearch@aol.com">gmpsearch@aol.com</a> today!</div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.UCCtruths.com/</div>UCCtruthshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05878487273131062965noreply@blogger.com
