Focus on the Family founder James Dobson visited George W. Bush regularly  during

Dobson

his presidency, White House records show.

Between April 2001 and June 2006, Dobson visited the White House 24 times, and 10 of those times he met directly with Bush.

The information was obtained after Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington, D.C., requested the White House visitors records of leading conservative Christian leaders, according to a news release from CREW.

Besides Dobson, visitors records were obtained for Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition; Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America; Gary Bauer, president of American Values; the late Jerry Falwell; Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council; Louis Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition; the late Paul Weyrick, founder of Free Congress foundation; and Donald Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association. 

Both Wildmon and Perkins have worked closely with Focus on the Family Action, the political arm of the Colorado Springs organization.

While Dobson sat down with Bush more  times than any of the other Christian leaders, the person who visited the White House most often was Lafferty — a whopping 50 times.

Below is a summary of the White House visits of the Christian leaders:
