...Steve Scheffler, head of the Iowa Christian Alliance, said Romney has a good chance of splitting off some Evangelical voters because his platform has the necessary core beliefs: right to life, ban on gay marriage, school choice. "They're not a monolithic group," said Scheffler, who is also not endorsing a candidate this cycle. "They're basically bound together by very common positions on a variety of issues, but beyond that - putting those priorities in order of importance is not always a uniform of thought.

It doesn't mean you discriminate, it just doesn't mean you'd condone a sinful lifestyle...
...film highlights the success of community-supported agriculture (CSA), the concept those Chicagoans originally brought to Peterson. "My wife and I had just returned from Burlington, Vermont," recalls Bob Scheffler, who helped organize the Chicago CSA group, "and somehow our friends out there had stumbled on a small, three-acre farm just outside of town run by a commuter farmer. He lived in an apartment in town, left his tractor chained to a tree and he would bring food into town. So he was farming this plot for a bunch of people in town. Everyone seemed so happy with...
