election news and speeches...

I am so excited!
Con and I have been asked to be part of Clint Didier's campaign to run against Patty Murray in the Senatorial election next year!!!!!!
If any of you were at the Tea Party a few weeks ago you saw Clint make an impassioned speech which rallied everyone there, and with his name recognition and his all american good looks AND his decent principles and morals I truly believe that he could unseat PM----FINALLY!!!!!!
It will be an uphill battle since PM already has $2 million raised but what an amazing experience this will be to start at the grass roots level of a campaign that is so important to our country right now.
Truly, he has gotten a bit of a late start but he's in the game....he's got a great platform....he is being surrounded by people who know how to launch him into the political arena....there is no stopping him now!!!!!
Will you begin to pray for the next election that we, the people of this great state and country will seek to be a more virtuous people so that we will, in turn, elect more virtuous leaders????
Will you pray this with me?
Whether you are politically savvy or not, surely you see and hear what's going on in our country and where we are headed if we don't stop the corruption that surrounds our government.
Martin Luther King Jr. had this to say:

"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be.....The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists."

Though he used inflammatory language, what he meant was this: it is much easier to simply die for a cause than to find inventive and effective means to fight for it.

He also said this:

"The hottest places in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in time of great moral conflict."

Truly the enemy must sense how very short time is for him and he is stepping up his advance on our families and on our time and I fear if we remain distracted by "temporal things" that we will miss out on what is happening in our country--things that are bigger than us--bigger than our problems.
It is way past time to sit up and take notice of where our government is taking this country----and it is not a good place.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation-We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed- That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute New government......"

Who's with me????
