Senate Candidate Pays Firm That Mocks Christians

Dan Osborn, a U.S. Navy veteran and industrial mechanic who is making a competitive bid to unseat Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE), paid $7,500 to Call to Activism on Oct. 16 for “digital marketing,” according to the Federal Election Commission . files rated by the Washington Examiner. The Maryland-based firm calls himself “one of the most far-reaching voices in progressive politics” and leads a website called ‘Lose Fox News’.

But according to Facebook posts, Call to Activism also has another pastime: The Osborn-endorsed company has a soft spot for targeting people of Christian faith, including supporting former president Donald Trump.

“I can’t respect any Christian who follows the least Christ-like person in the world,” says one after from Call to Activism, sent on September 16, reads. Another call for activism Facebook after from September asked: “Why show the Ten Commandments in schools if all you are going to do is teach children to follow someone who has broken almost all of them?”

“Attention evangelicals…” Call for activism wrote on Facebook on August 22. “The voice that calls him the chosen one is not your God. Take your meds.”

News of Osborn’s $7,500 payment to Call to Activism could become a liability for the candidate, who has come under scrutiny from Republicans for framing themselves as an independent time hire far-left staffers and orphans strengthened by Democratic megadonors.

Additionally, the revelation comes after President Joe Biden compared Trump supporters to “garbage.” prompting opposition from some Democrats in tough re-election battle.

Calling Activism, the firm that paid Osborn, say on social media that it was founded by a lawyer named Joe Gallina “to stop Trump and the GOP for trying to take us backwards!”

The company often refers to Trump supporters as members of a “cult,” has criticized Christian pastors and said Christians “don’t understand the difference between fact and fiction.”

“If church pastors can use their pulpits to preach politics, they can use their collection plates to pay taxes,” Call to Activism said in a message dated September 8.

“Hey, did you see where Joel Osteen and all the other megachurch personalities gave millions of dollars and did everything they could to help the people suffering from Hurricane Helene?” Call for activism posted on Facebook on October 3. “Me neither…”

In one October 16 afterCall to Activism stated: “Only someone deep in a cult can live in a trailer park and still think it’s a good idea to send money to a man with a mansion on a golf course in Florida and a gold penthouse in Manhattan.”

“Understanding the separation of church and state is difficult for those who cannot understand the difference between fact and fiction,” Call to Activism said in a after this week.

In a statement to the Washington Examinerthe Fischer campaign said Osborn “has no respect for Nebraska values.”

“He will say one thing to please his Democrats, and then turn around and lie to Nebraskans about the fact that he is a pro-life, God-fearing conservative,” said Derek Oden, a spokesman for Fischer. “But the receipts show who Dan Osborn really is: a liberal Democrat.”

Last week: Call for activism said in a Facebook post: “If you insist on displaying the Ten Commandments in schools while abolishing free lunches, maybe it’s time to go to Bible study and learn what Jesus really taught.” The company has given Osborn a boost on social media, to write on X on Tuesday: “Dan Osborn is on track to make this the shock of the decade!! He’s stuck in deep red Nebraska and can win this race! Let’s get him over the edge!”

The Osborn campaign did not respond to a request for comment. A poll Monday’s release showed Fischer with just a 2% lead over Osborn among likely voters.
