WASHINGTON —The Associated Press has reported that Republican National Committee Campaign mail warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.

Outcome has learned that the same style campaign postcard has been mailed to voters in Arkansas. Both West Virginia and Arkansas are two southern states that are considered to be Electoral College battleground states.

The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells Arkansas to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie told the AP that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. "It wouldn't surprise me if we were mailing voters on the issue of same-sex marriage," Gillespie said.

The flier says Republicans have passed laws protecting life, support defining marriage as between a man and a woman and will nominate conservative judges who will "interpret the law and not legislate from the bench." "The liberal agenda includes removing `under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance," it says. It does not mention the names of the presidential candidates.

The RNC also is running radio ads in several states urging people to register to vote. "There is a line drawn in America today," one ad says. "On one side are the radicals trying to uproot our traditional values and our culture. They're fighting to hijack the institution of marriage, plotting to legalize partial birth abortion, and working to take God out of the pledge of allegiance and force the worst of Hollywood on the rest of America." "Are you on their side of the line?" the ad asks before making the plea to "support conservative Republican candidates." —staff
