Spiritual Politician, the show that shows you what is wrong with politics in America today, will host Mark Davis, the Republican political consultant whose use of cross-over ballots resulted in the defeat of Cynthia McKinney in Georgia's 4th District in 2002. Mr. Davis became a surprise movie star in the documentary, American Blackout, now airing across the country. The show airs Friday, August 4, 2006 at 4 PM PDT

On the Spiritual Politician host Melinda Pillsbury-Foster and Mark Davis of Data Productions, will discuss the nuts and bolts of America's electoral system and consider what America's political system does to honesty and to the individual's relationship with Christ.

Honesty in politics has become an increasingly important issue with Americans today. In a political establishment that tends to debate the meaning of "is" the idea that lying to achieve election or using underhanded means to impact electoral outcomes disgusts Americans who feel helpless in the grip of a system that refuses liability for their own actions.

Mark will answer questions about his own work and about his views of politics and America.

Questions to be considered will include: "Does the present climate in politics makes it impossible for honest people to be elected?"

On the Spiritual Politician the question of how to bring politics and government into alignment with the relationship we are mandated by Christ to have with each other is always in order. How can the American electoral system fulfill the charge Christ left with us. That charge was then and remains today that we are one in Christ and are to treat each other as brothers and sisters.

So the core question will be, "Is American government today acting as an agent for Christians as we were directed to act by Christ?"

Mr. Davis is a black, evangelical, Christian living in Duluth, Georgia. His father was a Republican candidate for governor and he is a life time Republican himself.
