I suppose that everyone in the United States is aware that we are afflicted with political conventions and a Presidential election. In Decades past, conventions were to choose the candidates, not merely to put on a show while the political machine was lubricated and adjusted. The raw naked power of the Republican and Democratic Party machines have been much in evidence in events leading up to the conventions.

From a standpoint of preserving our Freedom and our way of life, two worse candidates for the office of the President could hardly be imagined. They are both the choice of the Beltway Insiders and both candidates are determined to carry out the will of those that chose them. The party faithful have rushed breathlessly to the conventions to heap praise on their candidate, abuse on their opponents, and to see if some political plums are available for the picking.

The rational portion of the American population, watching the show put on for their benefit, wearily strives to determine which candidate really is the lesser of the two evils and vows never to trust a politician again. From the response evidenced by the average good hearted American, this may be the beginning of the destruction of both major political parties and the rise of a great Independent movement which will lead to the restoration of our Freedom and our American way of life.

A PRAYER REQUEST

We celebrate the signing of the Constitution for the United States of America on September 17th. We invite you to take the weekend of September 13th and 14th and join with us in a period of thanksgiving and prayer. May this election see the beginning of the decline of partisan politics and the rise of the citizen candidate and a strong wave of patriotism and independent thought. If fasting is a part of your religious observance, we invite you to join with us in fasting as well. You may wish to give thanks for:

1. Our Freedom, the inspired Constitution, and the men that God raised up our Founding Fathers, who suffered for that Freedom.

2. The Spirit of Freedom which is sweeping across our land and the people who are inspired by it to work to preserve our Liberty.

3. Those who serve in the Military and the First Responders may they be blessed and preserved as they protect us from danger and tyranny.

You may wish to pray that:

1. We may individually and collectively repent and serve God so that we may deserve the blessings of Freedom.

2. Our elected and appointed officials will promote and preserve our Freedom.

3. The enemies of Freedom may lose their influence, Media and financial support, organization and cohesion, and all things that are used to destroy our Freedoms.

POW/MIA RECOGNITION DAY

The 19th of September is POW/MIA Recognition Day. It is altogether fitting that our POW's & MIA's be remembered on this day all across the country. If you plan to have this day observed in your city, take a Proclamation to your mayor or city council. I have attached a proclamation that will be used in my city of Mesquite, Nevada. Adapt it to your city and remember those that have given their Freedom to preserve ours.
