PETOSKEY, Mich., July 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Social Contract Press has released its nearly 100-page special report on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that has long been trying to curtail open debate on critical public issues.

As this report details, the SPLC:

1) Engages in dubious fund-raising. A recent audit disclosed that SPLC spent 89 percent of its total income on fund-raising and administrative costs. Unknown to most donors, the tax-exempt SPLC flunked an audit by the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance.

2) The Alabama-based organization recklessly attacks principled opponents of their agenda as "racists." Targets have included: The American Enterprise Institute, The Heritage Foundation, Eagle Forum, Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, and even the blockbuster film, "Lord of the Rings."

3) The SPLC is ideologically aligned with cultural Marxists and far-left militants, such as Weather Underground terror-bomber Bill Ayers, who is described by the SPLC's "Teaching Tolerance" project as merely a "civil rights organizer ... teacher and author."

We hope that you will draw the attention of your audience to our report (including the satirical artwork by Zack Rawsthorne), which is available both in hard copy and on-line at our website: www.thesocialcontract.com
