Christine O'Donnell, President (through July 2010)[2] |
The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth, commonly known as The SALT, is an evangelical Christian organization founded in 1996 by Christine O'Donnell,[3][4] a Christian public relations and marketing consultant who ran for the United States Senate, hoping to represent the State of Delaware, in 2006, 2008, and 2010.[5] O'Donnell served as president of The SALT from its founding and was still listed as its president as of July 2010.[1][2] The organization sought to promote chastity in young people before marriage, preferring to avoid the use of the term sexual abstinence.[6] The SALT was featured in the U.S. national media on many occasions during the 1990s, with O'Donnell appearing as its representative.[7]
O'Donnell founded the organization in 1996 in order to sponsor a rally of young people at the Republican National Convention to support the party's anti-abortion stance.[3] By 1997 SALT had 4 chapters, two in New Jersey, one in Philadelphia and one in Washington, D.C..[3]
In September 2010, the Saviors Alliance faced a possible loss of its non-profit, tax exempt status for failing to file tax forms for the past three years (2007–2009) with the Internal Revenue Service.[8] An attorney for O'Donnell's 2010 political campaign responded that such a failure to file was a common oversight among small non-profits.[8]
