Forward Together PAC

Forward Together PAC is a leadership political action committee based in Alexandria, Virginia. The Committee's Honorary Chair is current Democratic U.S. Senator and former Governor of Virginia Mark Warner.

Until October 2006, Warner was believed to be actively pursuing the Presidency for 2008, and this PAC supports many positions that Warner advocates, such as fundraising for New Democrats and Blue Dog Democrats. Most label Warner as a New Democrat.

In September 2006, Warner launched Forward Together's Youthroots, a Web-based youth outreach effort that hoped to continue the trend of increasing youth turnout.

During the 2006 election cycle, Forward Together PAC donated over $650,000 to federal candidates.

Forward Together (Scotland)

Forward Together is an evangelical organisation within the Church of Scotland which acts as a pressure group on a variety of issues. It was founded in 1994 and currently represents 600 ministers and members of the Church of Scotland.

It supports traditional biblical values on all issues including civil partnerships, same-sex blessings and embryonic stem cell research.

In 2006 the group's Secretary, Rev Ian Watson, said the central management of the Church in Edinburgh was following a "left-wing, liberal agenda" which was contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of ordinary Church members. He also criticised the continual appointment of liberals to the position of Moderator. This view was supported by a survey which showed that 60% of respondents thought the Church had lost its way spiritually and theologically, and 75% said the appointment of Moderators did not reflect the Church membership, lamenting the reluctance of the Church to speak out against issues such as gay adoption and civil partnerships in the same way the Roman Catholic Church does.
