Hello FlameFans,

My name is Gianpaolo Ciocco, and I am a senior Political Science major at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. I am currently writing my undergraduate thesis on the workings of faith-based political organizations, and this forum seems to be an active and vibrant community featuring discussion of several relevant groups, so I would very much appreciate it if any of you could take this survey that I am distributing as part of my research: https://haverford.us2.qualtrics.com/SE/ ... u1tDE5QLid The survey should only take a few minutes to complete, and all responses are completely anonymous unless you agree to a follow-up interview; even then, all responses will be confidential. Feel free to take the survey even if you are not a member of any Christian political organizations; all responses are welcomed and appreciated.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this topic further, feel free to send me a private message. Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to take the survey; your help means a lot to me!

Sincerely,
Gianpaolo Ciocco

Paesano! You are welcome to ask questions on here as well. We love the dialogue.

Incidentally, I took the survey and it did in fact take just a few minutes. Based on the direction of the questions, I have a pretty firm feel for the direction of your thesis. I have a feeling that you will find most Evangelicals including those with ties to Liberty have a surprisingly diverse set of political views.

[cioccothesis]

Much appreciated! My thesis is actually focused on a slightly different question, but I appreciate the feedback and the invitation for dialogue - which I will probably take you up on in the coming weeks.

[BJWilliams]

wheres the libertarian option for question number 2?

if i were still in lynchburg I'd love to talk, but, im not anymore.

[ATrain]

Wouldn't mind talking, but I doubt I'm going to be in Lynchburg anytime soon.

I took your survey and would be glad to meet with you. I happen to be on Spring Break that week, so it should be easy to catch up. The upper crust side side of my family lives in Haverford - a cousin that went to Haverford College and one that went to Bryn Mawr.

I took the survey. If we meet will there be donuts or cookies?

[PAmedic]

I did as well, but would be more likely to run into you in DelCo than down there.

not that I can anyway. my wife doesnt let me talk to strangers

My PM inbox isn't activated, so if those of you who agreed to meet in person between March 8 and March 18 (and haven't received an e-mail from me) see this, you can send me an e-mail at gciocco@haverford.edu letting me know whether you would still be available - and, if so, what day(s) of the week would work best for you. A number of people expressed a willingness to meet, so I will make travel plans based on the responses I get.

Thanks again to everyone who's participated! I will definitely be in touch with those of you who provided your e-mail addresses, and may be posting further on here as well. (I will also take the donuts and cookies request into consideration...)

[Sly Fox]

You need at least 5 posts to have you inbox activated. So post a few more times and you should be good to go.
