Read up on Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority. Back in the 1970s televangelist Falwell decided to get involved in GOP politics. He had a simple formula; he’d send his people to any local Republican event. If twenty people total had shown up the last time the club picked the new county clerk, Falwell would have fifty there. Those dogcatchers and justices of the peace were soon Congress members and Senators and governors.
