On June 24, 2004 Chicago Tribune reported, "The smiling face of President Bush is on prominent display in Rev. David Johnston's office at King of Kings Church, superimposed on a thank-you letter for a $2,000 campaign contribution. Rev. David Johnston's 120-member evangelical congregation [King of Kings], backs the president wholeheartedly on social issues most important to his church. There is even a red-white-and-blue church Web site, saveamericanow.us, that King of Kings launched in part to campaign against gay marriage... Nonetheless, [Johnston] is part of a formidable, and growing, political machine... Across the Bible Belt, and notably here in the electoral swing state of Florida, patriotism, social conservatism and religious fervor have come together to give Bush a solid pillar for his re-election campaign in 2004--a power base that was born in the days of President Ronald Reagan."
