Evangelicals in the US are no strangers to politics but as the 2006 mid-term elections approach there is a growing sense in some corners of the evangelical movement that they are being used by the Republican Party.
While politicians in the US are keen to court evangelicals for their votes, the lack of progress that the Republican Party has made in the White House, Senate and Congress, has not gone unnoticed by many evangelicals who dedicate hours upon hours of their own time in distributing flyers and rallying support.
The feeling among evangelicals is a creeping dissatisfaction with the Republican Party which they say is failing to act aggressively on fulfilling its campaign promises.
According to one Christian organisation, the 2006 mid-term elections are demonstrating to the Republican Party they can no longer take the faith communities vote and support for granted.
