From: MondayMorningInsight.com: As Focus on the Family weighs in on the presidential race, a Time Magazine examination of the group's records shows that its influence may not be all that it once was, and that its actual base may have become smaller. According to Time, the ministry apparently has been "flat" for some time... Fading Influence? In 1994 Dobson’s monthly newsletter had a circulation of 2.4 million copies. Today, that circulation is about 1.1 million. In the 1990s, Dobson was drawing audiences of 15,000 or more to his speeches; but in the lead-up to the 2006 mid-term election, only about 1,000 people heard his anti-abortion speech at the 2,500-seat Mt. Rushmore National Monument amphitheatre. (Focus says that the event was a last-minute invitation and that Dobson rarely accepts speaking engagements.) According to news accounts and audited financial reports posted online for potential donors, the organization’s staffing is down (30 layoffs last September). Dobson’s book and recording purchases have declined from $678,000 in 2004 to $269,000 in 2006. His last book was published in 2001; another is not anticipated until 2009. The whole Dobson family, including wife Shirley, daughter Danae and son Ryan, produce books and tapes, but revenue from all Dobson-family materials are down, from $781,000 in 2004 to $307,000 in 2006. Any thoughts?  Why is the message fading from Focus?  I have my ideas, but I’d love to hear yours… http://mondaymorninginsight.com/index.php/8340/
