Comments on: For whom shall we Christians vote? http://www.lakeinfoworks.com/blog/faith/for-whom-shall-we-christians-vote/ Memories, Opinions, Ideas and Some computer code Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:44:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Cary http://www.lakeinfoworks.com/blog/faith/for-whom-shall-we-christians-vote/comment-page-1/#comment-9928 Cary Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:54:23 +0000 http://www.lakeinfoworks.com/blog/?p=148#comment-9928 I am reading this from the 2010 viewpoint. All of Grandpa Lake's remarks have been validated. This is a sad, wearisome time for those who hold fast to the Faith, of God's Plan for America. I will believe that He is still in charge of my life, and surrendered to that Call on my life. May we begin to look to a deeper understanding of our political advantages as Christians. The Founding Fathers did not undertake any change, even the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, until they heard from God. In this, our own Independence Declaration must be preceded by effectual, fervent prayer. (James 5:16) We must now ask The Father to send men and women of character, humility and honor to stand for election to serve in Congress as His Representatives. In this way, we follow in the footsteps of those men who asked for His Favor and Help in the embryonic beginnings of this once great country. I am reading this from the 2010 viewpoint.

Fully 75% of Americans overtly tell pollsters that our nation is on the wrong track. In this age of instant communications, it seems to me that it's as easy to persuade tens of millions of voters as it is to persuade ten. I agree with Katrinka Yobotz' exhortation for folks to get involved. A few months ago, the idea of getting involved in political campaigning (beyond the same kind of talking with family, neighbors and other friends as I've done in years past) or party-building was something that I had no desire to do. The prospects of McCain or Obama as president made me very receptive to Alan Keyes' urging "If you don't see a choice, make the choice." Grandpa Lake is right that president alone isn't enough to turn things around. I went ahead and registered as a Candidate for Congress here in Maryland, and I ask other God-fearin', liberty-lovin', sovereignty-conservin' folks around the country to prayerfully consider doing the same. If God wants to save our nation, there's nothing that can stop Him. That http://www.selfgovernment.us website that Katrinka mentioned is slated to start providing a bountiful set of tools for helping every citizen to become a leader. And every Tuesday and Thursday nights, the Keyes campaign hosts a "town hall" style public conference call. These have become known as "Ask Alan" calls, because Dr. Keyes is often on the line for an hour or so answering questions from all comers. The calls start at 10 pm eastern time. The dial-in number is 231-962-8000. The code is 340794# This election has so many unique factors — prior notions about third-party or independent candidates don’t seem appropriate.

Read the platform: www.selfgovernment.us Alan Keyes will be the AIP's candidate in any State where we are able to put him on the ballot. In other States, Alan Keyes will be an independent candidate, and in some States, he will be an official write-in candidate. If Christians will but set aside their fear that "he can't win", and courageously vote for Dr. Keyes, then WE the PEOPLE will finally have an honorable President who can actually LEAD America out of the mess we're in. If, however, Christians compromise their vote out of fear of an evil candidate, we will have yet another compromising president who drags us further down the road of destruction. We certainly aren't making God a part of the process when we passively go along with secular big shots, and especially not when we choose a president who condones evil. It's our choice. Fear or courage. Invite God in. Get involved. www.selfgovernment.us www.alankeyes.com America’s Independent Party is the answer. Read the platform:
