REVEALED: Why Bush courted the Amish vote

Amish Men Sentenced for Drug Roles

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Two Amish men received a year in prison Wednesday for buying cocaine from bikers and selling it among youth groups in their strict religious community.

Abner Stoltzfus, 25, and Abner King Stoltzfus, 24, Lancaster County men who are not related, are members of the Old Order Amish, the most conservative Anabaptist sect.

They eschew automobiles, electricity, computers, fancy clothes and most other modern conveniences, and use horse-driven buggies for transportation.

``These defendants ... were responsible for bringing disrepute to themselves, their families and their community,'' U.S. District Judge Clarence C. Newcomer said.

Nearly 200 Amish, some holding babies, packed the courtroom and hallway outside. All were clad in traditional Amish dress - women in dark smocks and white bonnets, men in suspenders and straw hats. As Newcomer read the sentences, many wept quietly or buried their faces in their hands.

How does a 6 year old arrest of two Amish men have any bearing on Bush courting the Amish vote?

Connect the dots.
