Hallelujah! Yesterday the annual National Service for the Pre-Born took place INSIDE the US Capitol complex in spite of enormous challenges! You prayed and God answered—it was a beautiful service.
For 14 years, the National Service for the Pre-Born has been the only indoor prayer and preaching event held inside the US Capitol complex. This year we had a series of serious obstacles in securing a meeting place, but because of extraordinary help from Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, we were able to enjoy one of the finest federal venues in the Capital City, while keeping this witness for the Gospel of Life right in the heart of the US Congress!
The result: Yesterday the US Capitol complex once again resounded with praise and adoration to God as well as the powerful proclamation of the Gospel!

Unlike any other event, the National Service for the Pre-Born is a remarkable gathering of pastors, Christian activists, Congressional leaders and lay ministers from virtually every Christian tradition. Yesterday, members of the clergy representing scores of denominations led in prayer, read scripture and preached up a storm! It was a powerful witness of the Gospel of Life on Capitol Hill.
There’s simply nothing like it!
With the many changes in leadership in Congress and the White House, we believe that our presence is needed here on Capitol Hill now more than ever.
That’s why the National Service for the Pre-Born is so important! It’s the only pro-life prayer service held inside the US Capitol complex on Capitol Hill!
We want everyone to know that as your missionaries to Capitol Hill, we are not in retreat! We are not going away! We are moving forward in God!
As a result of yesterday’s powerful witness, we’re reaching out to all of Capitol Hill with the Truth of God’s Word as only Faith and Action can.
And, with the National Service for the Pre-Born, we’re calling on national leaders to stand for a culture of life that protects the innocent and helpless, defends the traditional family, and allows for the public acknowledgement of God.
But we need your help! Your support is more crucial to us now than at any time in our history. These are extraordinary days and they demand extraordinary efforts. We are prepared for just that.
Remember, the National Service for the Pre-Born is the only pro-life prayer service held inside the US Capitol complex on Capitol Hill!

Faith and Action is a Christian outreach whose mission is to to reintroduce the Word of God into the public debate surrounding legislation and policy matters. Our mission field spans Pennsylvania Avenue, from the White House to the U.S. Capitol and the U.S. Supreme Court. Through news conferences, symposia, panel discussions, literature distribution, the Internet, and face-to-face conversations with key Washington leaders, we gently confront these critical public policy makers with the powerful claims of the Gospel, as well as reminders of the prominent role that the Word of God played in the creation of our nation and its laws.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 /Christian Newswire/ — “As the country marks the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that imposed abortion on the United States, as well as the inauguration of the most outspokenly pro-abortion president in American history, pro-life advocates in some 118 cities across 41 states - plus four Canadian provinces and even Australia - have great hope,” said Shawn Carney, spring campaign director for 40 Days for Life. “They’re all preparing to participate in simultaneous 40 Days for Life campaigns from February 25 through April 5.” READ MORE

Straight From The White House Website
Obama acts quickly, lays out his abortion and gay agenda
One of first moves pushes social issues to the top
Supporting Stem Cell Research: President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that we owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, which will allow research of human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated (with consent) from in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos must be deemed in excess and created based solely for the purpose of fertility treatment.
Reproductive Choice (Abortion)
Supports a Woman’s Right to Choose: President Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Administration. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in that case.
Preventing Unintended Pregnancy: President Obama was an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand access to contraception, health information, and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies. Introduced in January 2007, the Prevention First Act will increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods. The Act will also end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims.
Support for the (Homosexual Community)
“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”
– Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: In 2004, crimes against LGBT Americans constituted the third-highest category of hate crime reported and made up more than 15 percent of such crimes. President Obama cosponsored legislation that would expand federal jurisdiction to include violent hate crimes perpetrated because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability. As a state senator, President Obama passed tough legislation that made hate crimes and conspiracy to commit them against the law.
Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. While an increasing number of employers have extended benefits to their employees’ domestic partners, discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace occurs with no federal legal remedy. The President also sponsored legislation in the Illinois State Senate that would ban employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples.
Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Additionally, more than 300 language experts have been fired under this policy, including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goals.
Expand Adoption Rights: President Obama believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. He thinks that a child will benefit from a healthy and loving home, whether the parents are gay or not.
Promote AIDS Prevention: In the first year of his presidency, President Obama will develop and begin to implement a comprehensive national HIV/AIDS strategy that includes all federal agencies. The strategy will be designed to reduce HIV infections, increase access to care and reduce HIV-related health disparities. The President will support common sense approaches including age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception, combating infection within our prison population through education and contraception, and distributing contraceptives through our public health system. The President also supports lifting the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. President Obama has also been willing to confront the stigma — too often tied to homophobia — that continues to surround HIV/AIDS.
Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS: In the United States, the percentage of women diagnosed with AIDS has quadrupled over the last 20 years. Today, women account for more than one quarter of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. President Obama introduced the Microbicide Development Act, which will accelerate the development of products that empower women in the battle against AIDS. Microbicides are a class of products currently under development that women apply topically to prevent transmission of HIV and other infections.
President-Elect Obama says he is a “Christian” yet, he supports abortion–all abortion! He says women have a right to kill their own children if they choose to do so. But GOD says that is a lie!
GOD says children are a gift. Psalm 127:3, says: Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. In Jeremiah 1:5, GOD says “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee…”
Psalm 139:13-16 - For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made… my substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret… Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written…
Regarding abortionists and those who kill unborn children, Exodus 21:22-25 states: If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished… and goes on to say: And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Here’s what God also says if anyone kills a fatherless child. Exodus 22:22-24 – If thou afflict them in any wise and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; and my wrath shall wax hot…
So what god does Obama worship?
What kind of Christian would openly and purposely go against the Bible, the word of God? Maybe, one who is not really a Christian at all.
II Corinthians 11:13 says: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And for no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Many people have blasted Charisma for asking questions about Barack Obama. It is time to stop arguing and get on God’s side. God often wakes me up at 5 a.m. This morning He woke me up, but something was different. I felt like wailing in the spirit. A radical feeling I’ve never had before rose up inside me.God was dealing with me about the upcoming election. My spirit was grieved because people were calling the editor of Charisma, Lee Grady, a racist. I wrote a column in Charisma’s November 2008 issue in which I criticized Barack Obama. Am I a racist? If you know anything about me I am black to the bone and cannot rightfully be called an Uncle Tom. Lee and I stand for what we believe is righteous. Do we have that right?
“If all the aborted babies killed in the United States could come back to life, who would they vote for in this upcoming election?”I read all the responses on the Charisma forum (fireinmybones.com) and I have a response to those who want to attack Lee Grady. He and I are on the same side! Many do not see it, but lines have already been drawn, and we have to look around and see who is standing with us.Are we standing with Hollywood? The homosexual activists? The Democrats? The Republicans? The world? Personally, I renounce all of them because I know that they are a part of the broad and the wide that God speaks of. I stand for what is right! What is right can be rooted only in what is righteous!
I think we need to get some things straight. I am not standing with white people or Charisma. I am standing for what I have been standing for every since God delivered me from the gardenerhouse. I have been preaching the same message since the devils were cast out of me.The problem is that a lot of preachers have changed their messages for one reason only: They have switched sides! You did not just change your mind; you switched sides!Let’s not argue about whose side is right. We can agree that a line has already been drawn in the spirit. We can go further to say that somebody is wrong and somebody is right.
I have no choice but to address issues from the position of a believer. That is who I am, and its dictates how I stand and who I stand with. This is not based on friendship, family or even preference. I simply do not have a choice. You never pick sides on issues like this. Just stick to God’s Word and you will end up where you are supposed to be. Remember, God does not take sides; He takes over!
Consider the following:
1. Either it is OK for Barack Obama to blaspheme Romans 1 and call it “insignificant,” or I am on the right side.
2. Either Obama’s voting against Amendment 2 (which states only that marriage is between one woman and one man, and does not stop gay couples from getting insurance rights or visiting each other in hospitals) is OK, or I am on the right side.
3. Either delivering babies up to nine months in a breach position up to where only the head is left in the womb, stabbing them in the back of the neck and sucking their brains out should be legal, or I am on the right side.
4. Either laws that prevent me from preaching the truth about homosexuality, require that I hire one gay person for every so many employees, or force me as a minister to marry same-sex couples or be sued should be passed, or I am on the right side.
5. Either secular humanism (which focuses on the rights of men) should be a priority in America and put before the laws of God, or I am on the right side.
6. Either practicing homosexuals are going to heaven, and there is no devil or hell, and Obama is a born-again believer, or I am on the right side.
You may argue that we cannot say who is a Christian and who is not, and you are right. But the Word of God says we can judge the tree by the fruit that it bears, and we have to know those who labor among us. I am not comparing Sen. Obama to Sen. McCain; I am comparing him to the Word of God. Everything I stand for as a believer, Obama is against!
If you disagree, keep on trucking. This is America, and I have a right to share my view. There are too many people who are confused or afraid to say how they feel, and I need to let them know that they are not alone. All blacks are not blinded by Obama.
Ease up on Lee Grady! Is he a racist because he is saying what he believes? I encourage my other white brothers and sisters to speak up and stand for what they believe. Do not be intimidated by blacks who will accuse you of being a racist because you have godly values!
Even if someone gave me a billion dollars, I could not vote for Obama. (For the right price, would your vote swing either way?) But if he wins, I will pray for him as the Bible teaches me to do.
I am sick of hearing Christians crying about the economy. Matthews 6 says this is what the heathens do. God says we should not worry about what we will eat, drink or wear. It is unscriptural for church folk to depend on any man (or the economy) to meet their needs.
No one wants to admit that the Democrats have been in office a few years, and I haven’t seen them change anything but their minds. I do not have a Democratic or Republican mind-set! I am born-again believer, and I have the mind of Christ.
God also said that we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. It goes on to say that all we need will be added to us. This word “added” means a “cycle of blessings.” If you maintain the right mind-set during this current financial crunch, you will experience the cycle of blessing that is reserved for the saints. The “cain’ts” and the “ain’ts” will not eat of it!
Today we are standing on Mount Carmel. King Omri sold out when he allowed his son Ahab to marry the witch, Jezebel. The marriage sealed a deal he made with the pagans of that day for economic prosperity. Great trade opened up in the land. Everybody was happy except God!
The Baal worshippers set up their temples next to the God of Israel. They did not want just a right to worship; they wanted equal rights! I believe in equality for all men, but men cross the line when they attempt to be equal to God.
It started in heaven, came through the garden and is resting on America day. Men want to be “like God”! This is what secular humanism is all about, putting the rights of man over the Word of God. They did it at the tower of Babel. Nimrod taught the people that they did not have to fear God after the flood.
People have attempted to build a modern-day tower to heaven in America, but just as it happened in the book of Genesis, the Holy Trinity came down to earth to stop it. It is not just because of the Bush administration that the economy is where it is. God has come down to America, and folks are too busy crying to even notice it.
There is no candidate that can get us out of this mess. We may as well repent and vote morally right. If we do this we can pray to the Lord of the Harvest and He will send His abundance.
Let’s stop killing innocent babies in America, and the land will begin to yield her increase again. You may say, what about the deaths in Iraq? There were deaths in the wars God ordained in the Bible. I never read a Scripture that God had a problem with them.
He did have a problem with people sacrificing their babies to Chemosh and Molech. Innocent bloodshed is major on God’s agenda! And by the way, every soldier that went to Iraq signed up. Nobody was drafted.
The babies that have been slaughtered never signed up to be killed. They were drafted by laws that never considered their rights. And most importantly, they never got a chance to vote! If all the aborted babies killed in the United States could come back to life, who would they vote for?
When Elijah commanded the sky to dry up he was not putting on a show. He was coming up against an economic system that was rooted in idol worship.
The people were praying to Baal to provide rain for their crops. This is why the widow woman was about to eat her last meal and die. She was a Baal worshipper! The idolaters were crying out to their god, and the second heaven was shut to them.
America has been known to be one of the most moral countries in the world. If we (both black people and white people) do not turn from our wicked ways and repent, our country will be just as perverted as some of the countries overseas. America has never been perfect, but she has previously been known to have values.
But we have allowed Hollywood, CNN, Fox, the NAACP and other popular people, places and organizations to be our prophets for many years. Now the voices of the real prophets are mocked, just as in the time of Noah. The people mocked Noah until he entered the ark.
Noah is about to enter the ark in the Spirit! God will shut the mouths of the logicians, statisticians, demonic gatekeepers and prognosticators. The liberal gurus of the media are about to eat their words. God will have the last say!
Many say that the issue in this election is not race. I beg to differ. I have talked to many blacks who disagree with Obama on many things. They still look me in the eye and say, “I am voting for him because I want to see a black man as the president of the United States in my lifetime.”
Many had a shift in their mind-set when Colin Powell endorsed Obama. I respect Colin Powell, but if he is on Obama’s side, he is not the one, either!
It may be true that you are voting for Obama for other reasons, but the fact remains that many people support him for one reason only: because he is black. I live where the rubber meets the road. I do not have a megachurch, and I am not promoting an agenda for you to send money to my ministry or buy my books.
For those of you who think that all preachers have a price, please do not send one dime or buy one book from my ministry. Do not even log onto my Web site if what I am saying offends you. This message is for those who have ears to hear what I am saying and want to know the truth. I am calling all of you who know you have committed spiritual mutiny to get back on the wall! Come and join me for a cause that’s greater than your individual calling! Let the world, heaven and hell know that we are not moving from the foundation of our salvation.
We must be politically and morally correct as Psalms 11 requires believers to be. If this foundation is destroyed, what can we, as the church, do? Justice has been falling in the streets of America while we have been playing church.
We have gotten into such a backslidden state in America that we need a law to define marriage as being between one man and one woman. Laws have already been passed in some states that make it illegal for anyone to refer to a couple as “husband” and “wife.” They must be referred to as “partners.”
The devil is a liar, and this will not happen in Florida on my watch! I pray that you will be a gatekeeper where you live, too.
Speaking of gatekeepers, for you preachers who are submitting your anointing to denominations that want to debate the issue of homosexuality, you will be judged first. This matter cannot even have a hearing in the third heaven. To debate this issue, you must hang out in second-heaven activity. It is totally demonic.
I also suggest that you down-low brothers in the pulpits and congregations back up and be quiet. You do not qualify to speak. I love you, but do not call me or write a letter unless you want the devil cast out of you! You stay on your side and I will stay on mine.
Keep posting your comments on blogs behind the scenes as you have been doing. The Lord has showed me who many of you are. Be delivered or be busted out!
I have the privilege of praying for the young boys in the church whom you seduce, and my heart is broken over the matter. There are certain things that are sins, and we all have sinned in some way. But what you do is an abomination.
As a prophet of God I prophesy that five of you have six months to repent and wholeheartedly turn the other way, or God is coming to visit you. This thing must be because judgment must start in His house!
You have helped the homosexual agenda against the church with your secret lifestyle. You have turned the offerings of God into filthy lucre, and the stench is strong in the nostrils of God. No longer shall you be a breeder in the temple. Your demonic reproduction is about to be cut off. Many of you judge Carlton Pearson, but your penalty shall be greater. For you have remained in the house and have been a spiritual reproach.
It is not too late; your tormentors can be released from you, and your sleep can come back to you. But you must move in season or you will never get another chance. The spirit of reprobation is knocking at your door.
God is especially dealing with the foul spirit in the black church and the gospel music industry. There is safety, especially for you now. For the spirits that have hidden you and concealed your filth are about to turn on you and uncover the mud. I speak this to you by the Spirit of the Most High God, and not one word of what I have spoken will fall to the ground.
In closing, let me say that I am not trying to be political. This is a spiritual battle. I am not running for office, and I receive no fringe benefits from anyone who is. I simply stand firm for the Word of God.
As a result, I am required to be against some things. I am not against homosexuals. I am against the homosexual agenda and any person who attempts to stop me from getting my gay brothers and sisters free.
I have employees who have come out of the lifestyle, and gay people attend my church–but they are trying to get delivered. We treat them with love but do not provide a place for them to flaunt their lifestyle.
I also believe that there are instances in which an abortion may be necessary. My fight is against abortion as birth control. Used in this way, it is a human sacrifice.
I am guilty of abortion and have repented. A prophet told me recently that he dreamed he was in heaven. He said he saw two baby boys waiting to meet me in heaven. His words had to be from God because no one knew.
I had an abortion when I was 15, but the procedure was incomplete. I remember being in the bathroom stall at my school with baby parts coming out of me. I am not on a guilt trip, but I have a healthy compassion to save the innocent lives of the unborn. I VOTE FOR THEM!
The attached pictures may be hard to look at, but my prayer is that when you see them, you will understand that somebody has to stop the mutilation of innocent human beings. Obama said that it is above his pay grade to determine when a person receives human rights. I would be afraid to have a leader over so many lives in this country who does not understand life from beginning to end. You cannot help me to get where I am going if you do not know the essence of where I came from.
Let everything that has breath (and babies have breath at conception) praise the Lord! We really cannot stop these babies from praising the Lord. They will do it either here or in heaven. The only difference is that if they do it here, there will be no blood on our hands!

It was brought to my attention by One News that the Obama Campaign was airing an on WFHM 95.5 “The Fish” a Christian radio station in Cleveland…a station which promotes itself as safe for the whole family. Read a little further and you will know they are.
This particular ad used Scripture in order to garner votes for Obama, Ohio.
The ad was produced by the “Matthew 25 Network” and features former Ohio Congressman Tony Hall, a pro-life democrat. As a pro-life Democrat, Tony Hall should be ashamed to participate in such a misleading ad when he professes to believe in life.
The ad speaks of helping the “least of these” (which I agree with). However it is in complete opposition to Senator Obama’s position on abortion. If Obama believed in the Matthew 25 Scripture he would protect all life, but he does not.
How can you advertise protecting the “least of these” and at the same time promote the slaughter of innocent babies using the barbaric act of abortion and even infanticide.
I spoke with the General Manager at “The Fish” and expressed my concerns about a Christian Radio Station which promotes family values hosting the ad of a platform that espouses abortion. He was very nice and informed me of regulations requiring them to host the ad. However, he informed me they were going to post a very extensive disclaimer.
It was not the optimum outcome but seemed the best we could expect. Imagine my surprise when I heard from “The Fish” just moments ago and told that the ad has been pulled. The “Matthew 25 Network” produces “PAC” ads which do not fall under the afore mentioned regulations and can be removed.
We applaud “The Fish” for their willingness to stand up on the side of life. I often say you find out who stands with you when you have the courage to stand up and “The Fish” stood up.
“If Barack Obama had his way I would not be here.”
“Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I’m a survivor, as are many others…but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here.”
“Unfortunately, Barack Obama voted four times against affording these babies their most basic human right. I have serious concerns about Senator Obama’s record and views on this issue, given he voted against these protections four times as a state Senator. Just as abuse victims share their stories to educate the public, fight for the common good and hope that as a result politicians do what’s right, I felt it was important to come forward and give these new born babies a voice.”
“I am living proof these babies have a right to live, and I invite you to learn more about Senator Obama’s record on this important issue.”
Many pundits on both sides of the spectrum of politics had much to say about the green background displayed behind Senator McCain at the RNC this last week including the actual school itself; Walter Reed Middle School. Seemed most everyone wanted to connect it with what some considered to be an embarrassment Senator McCain suffered in relation to a lime green background used by his campaign when giving a speech in New Orleans. I beg to differ.
Imagine focusing on the color green in the light of the many issues facing our nation in this day and hour. However, if we have to let’s look at it in a more positive light. After all, it is a whole new day and a whole new campaign; enter Governor Sarah Palin.
When I watched the RNC and saw the video behind him I was encouraged. Quite a step up compared to the lime green New Orleans background. In fact, I saw it as evidence of promises to come…evidence of a whole new campaign filled with hope which Governor Sarah Palin set in motion on Wednesday night of the RNC.
Want to read between the lines with me? Now don’t shake your head when you read the following. Stretch yourself a bit and give the pundits a bit of a “kick in the grass” so to speak.
Let’s break down the actual picture. First, it contained a school which we all know is a place to receive knowledge and grow in wisdom given by others who have learned themselves in different way and periods time…something Senator McCain has to offer and has definitely grown in regarding the current campaign since he made his infamous New Orleans speech—a speech which brought a strong response from Senator McCain’s campaign manager Steve Schmidt.
Second, it contained a middle school. What does that have to do with anything? A lot, if you’re willing to look a little deeper and can go beyond petty pontifications. What part of America has the Obama/Biden ticket seem to have lost touch with? Middle America of course! Derisive comments about Governor Palin’s small town and bitter people clinging to guns and religion speaks for itself while hanging out with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
This is where the McCain/Palin ticket resounds with a clear and proven message. They are the champions of Middle America having the knowledge and wisdom to share with America what they have learned in the school of life…learned in the school of politics based on reform, refusal to compromise or bend to the will of polls. What refreshing agents of change and transformation they are.
Third, there is the beautiful green lawn which speaks of being new or newness of life. Many have commented on Governor Sarah Palin as a “breath of fresh air” capable of bringing a fresh new look and feel to Washington DC. This is a much more encouraging and hopeful picture than the people’s “approval rating of Congress” represents today. And it is definitely more verdant with promise than the same old tax and spend policies of the Obama/Biden ticket.
So, what do we have in the McCain/Palin ticket? We have knowledge, wisdom and maturity and newness all of which are going to take the White House by storm this November. With this in mind, I looked at the video behind Senator John McCain and saw hope for the future—a drastic contrast to the democratic ticket.
Congress has a dismal approval rating due to acts of corruption, lack of competence, and a “me first” attitude. There is a total lack of connection with average Americans and an unwillingness to bend to the will of the people as a democratically controlled Congress continue to appoint judges who legislate from the bench. Despite the pleas of their constituents the “left” in Congress refuse to drill. When I hear their "No Way" the chants at the RNC, "Drill Baby Drill" speak to the deaf ears of the left.
In contrast the McCain/Palin ticket offers reform and true change while the Obama/Biden ticket along with Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi offer empty wallets and a Global Tax.
Friends, God is in the business of restoring the years the locust have eaten and nothing has changed regardless of the “left” for the most part refusing to acknowledge what the true foundation America was and is founded on.
In light of this, a time of embarrassment Senator McCain experienced in New Orleans has been transformed into a total reversal of fortune as RNC was buoyed up by his speech and the speech of Governor Sarah Palin…speeches which caused the convention to become the most watched convention in history.
We are told the grass is never greener on the other side, however; I disagree in this instance. The grass is greener on the side of the fence where the McCain/Palin ticket resides. Was the video/picture at the RNC a mistake…an error? Not hardly, if you are willing to look a bit deeper while refusing to fall into the pit of silly pontifications of those with nothing better to do as they try and fill a 24/7 news cycle.
Make no mistake, to me the stately school and verdant green lawn gracing the screen behind Senator McCain declared a visionary statement which looks to the future and declares to all the America haters…declares to all the doubters, and saboteurs of our country, “The grass is still green in America!”
Yes, America is still a place of wisdom, knowledge, maturity, and an undying resilience having a love of freedom which has impacted the whole world by example and with blood.
Time has come for change i.e. reform. The time has arrived to come on over to the McCain/Palin side of the fence where the grass is indeed greener.
