My wife and I sat down with the voter guide, which is an inch thick!

She was the summary writer for city elections voter guides.

One man then asked, Why not save time by putting the voter guide on the Internet?

With voter guides, "you're always going to have some excess," he said, but the group "got the job done."

The organization is staffed by volunteers who work to put together online voter guides for every state.

Many of those groups say the bill includes restrictions on what issues they can advocate to their members in publications, including voter guides.

"The preferred way to distribute the voter guides is in churches the Sunday before the election," he said.

Each voter guide proclaims that its purpose is not to influence the outcome of elections.

The group is now also handing out 1.3 million voter guides comparing the environmental records of opposing candidates.

The pamphlet is a sample of the evangelical group's 1996 voter guide for state and Congressional elections.
