Marriage, family advocate in state to support Coburn<br>James Dobson spoke to people during a rally and urged them to consider Brad Carson's record.

He also urged supporters in attendance to fast and pray on the Thursday and weekend before the Nov. 2 election and to go to the polls to elect Coburn to the Senate.

Dobson said a vote for Carson, "even if you think he's right, would be a vote for U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D.; Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont.

"Patrick Leahy is a God's people' hater, Dobson said.

"I don't know if he hates God, but he hates God's people.

Dobson said Coburn was exactly the kind of senator Oklahoma needs.

"I am passionate in my support of Dr. Tom Coburn, Dobson said.

"This man absolutely has to be sent back to Washington.

Also on hand to support Coburn, U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Warr Acres, said more lawmakers who believe in "the divine origins of the country are needed.

Coburn said he respected Dobson and was proud to have his endorsement.
