The New York Free Press is an interesting little weekly that is distributed free in New York City.

Their cover story this week examines raising environmental consciousness in the U.S. Christian political voting block.

Alexander Zaitchik pens a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of why environmental stewardship hasn't been a big issue to mainstream Republican Christians.  In one of the most well-crafted pieces of journalism I have found on this emerging concept, Zaitchik deftly steers a path through the layers of subject matter, from the Biblical mandate in Genesis 2:15 to the UN Climate Change conference in Buenos Aires.  He shows some very incisive evidence about the divisive nature of Christian denominations in America, especially as such divisions apply to reasoned discourse, the larger community of faith and political wedge issues, such as Environmentalism.

We need to bombard media outlets, government officials and public interest groups with demands to scrutinize, audit, and publicize election tabulations and voting irregularities in the 2004 election. It's time to blow the lid off this story
