I would suggest firstly that it wouldn't hurt any of us (whether Christian, agnostic, atheist, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, James Dobsonite . . .) to read these sublime words from "The Sermon on the Mount". Second, such a thing doesn't endorse any candidate or party. Third, it would likely drive people like James Dobson nuts: they'd know that this cornerstone of Jesus' teachings cuts against, actually refutes, all the nasty and hateful teachings, preachings and admonishments of their rather sad and craven ilk.
It's a must read, as regardless of your religious leanings, it outlines how the beatitudes really convey the type of society and social justice we should want to build--something I've always believed in myself.
{insert Deity here} Bless,
