Repent America also maintains the BUSHREVEALED.COM website, which states in the "Welcome to BushRevealed.com!" section:

"This website serves as notice to Christians across this nation that President George Bush over the past few years has compromised his 'Christian faith' by promoting evil and openly supporting wickedness. It is our hope and prayer that he would Repent and turn from such blatant sin. He is not our friend and cannot be trusted.

"This website is dedicated to providing up-to-date factual news information tracking the president's anti-Christian and ungodly actions. We encourage you to pray for Mr. Bush."
