Thank You Joshua

I have to share someone else's words that echo my own opinion:

(I've edited some spelling errors and capitalization)

"now, this is revolutionary for me, because: 1. I am 21 years old (and its a rare thing for younger people to be interested in politics) and 2. I have never before, before this campaign, been so intrigued and enthusiastic about any other campaign or government matters.

I am becoming a pastor soon, and I work as a intern at my church. From the beginning as I shared about Huckabee, I've heard the leaders/pastors tell me that "he has no chance, but if he gets that far, he has my vote." ...now these are the people that preach to me behind the pulpit about the biblical stories, such as David and Goliath, and Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. These are the people that teach me about faith.

These are the people that tell me to believe in the inerrant word of the Bible. And they tell me about a young boy, going against the odds, and facing a giant. And how he overcomes the giant and ends up becoming king, but they don't think its possible
for a man of God to become President of the United States.

There are too many religious leaders out there, pastors, preachers, evangelists, whatever..that are preaching one thing to the choir on Sunday mornings and not practicing their true faith outside of the church walls. They are willing to vote for a man that has "more leadership capability", however has no stance in his faith, is pro-choice, and believes homosexuality as a normality. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

But, as Huckabee is going against the odds..I'm beginning to see a change in these people. I'll ask this question, and I believe its a question worth thinking about. I know the Bible says that all political leaders are ultimately appointed by God to govern over us, and because of that, we are to respect them. But, God (somewhere where our choice and His sovereignty overlap) has given us the power to choose the leader in this democratic government.

We have the choices in front of us. We see where politicians stand on subjects and faith and other important matters. Would God rather us put in office someone who is more "fit for the job", or "proven a better leader", or a man who fears and reveres God and wants to do everything in his power to please the Creator of the universe, and lead this country as President of the United States? If we believe in God, we should also believe in the ability of God to take a Shepard, and transform him into one of the greatest leaders of history, David. If God never changes, why isn't it possible that Huckabee can be the president that the United States has been searching for, the one that makes us One Nation Under God, again?"

(comment from MikeHuckabee.com)

While it's sad that some of our current leaders aren't realizing this, I'm glad that people from the younger generation of The United States are.

However the elections go, I hope that you will support our nation with prayer and by participating by casting your vote.

Continuing to Follow Huckabee.

Last night (this morning at 2am for us) David and I watched the live YouTube Republican debate. I'd like to share with you the Southern Political Report's survey results from the debate:

"The Florida survey conducted with the Florida Chamber of Commerce showed the following results:

• Huckabee: 44%
• Giulani: 18%
• Romney: 13%
• McCain: 10%
• Thompson: 5%
• Paul: 4%
• Hunter: 1%
• Tancredo: 1%
• Rest: undecided

The survey of 341 Republicans who stated they were undecided, intended to watch the debate and agreed to phone in their opinion immediately after the ending was weighted for age and gender. It has a margin of error of +/- 6%.

A survey of Iowa Republicans of over 1,035 Iowa Republicans taken in the last twenty minutes of the debate showed Huckabee the winner in that state as well. The numbers virtually mirrored Florida. They were:

• Huckabee: 32%
• Romney: 16%
• Giuliani: 12%
• McCain: 10%
• Thompson: 7%
• Paul: 6%
• Tancredo: 2%
• Hunter: 0%
• Rest: undecided

Interestingly, the Iowa poll did not survey only undecided voters. Yet, both a survey of undecided voters in Florida and a general survey in Iowa showed Huckabee the winner. In the media Spin Room, most of the major candidates were left with little if any media attention as virtually all print and broadcast media circled Governor Huckabee."

If you weren't able to watch the debate I highly recommend it. In the same way I highly recommend that you watch any of the debates because in each one Huckabee shows that he is a strong candidate and the best Republican candidate for the nomination of the Republican Party.

I hope and pray that if you are a Christian Republican your faith is strong enough to allow you to support Huckabee 100% even though many "Christian leaders" of today don't think he can "beat Hillary." Well, I don't know what God they serve, but my God is capable of beating Hillary and I believe he can use this man of God to do so.

Be involved! Vote in the primaries!!

Mike Huckabee is also endorsed by Chuck Norris.(see the video at the end)

Oh, one other thing that was pretty funny...

When addressing a question about trying to send someone to Mars (like we did with the moon) Huckabee recommended that Hillary be the one that gets to go. We need a President with a sense of humor!

Who are you backing?

David and I have been educating ourselves on the presidential candidates for a while now. We have officially picked a candidate that we feel best represents our political views and moral values as well. In all of the debates so far Mike Huckabee has demonstrated his knowledge and ability to lead our country. I urge you to find some videos of Mike Huckabee speaking or debating and to read about his political views, plans, and beliefs.

Below is a pretty good blog entry that I thought I would share with you all. Please take the time to read it!

Christians for Huckabee

There’s an article coming out in the September 3, 2007 issue of Newsweek magazine about Mike Huckabee. MSNBC has the article HERE.

The gist of the article is that “on paper” Mike Huckabee is the ideal GOP candidate, but that the party faithful aren’t following him because “he’s too nice to be President”. Here’s a piece of the article, including a quote from the Southern Baptist convention:

The short, cruel answer is that many people who should be his most enthusiastic supporters don’t think he could win if he were pitted in a nasty race against the one Democrat conservatives loathe most. “We like Mike a lot,” says Richard Land, a leader of the Southern Baptist Convention. “But nobody thinks he can beat Hillary, and a fear of another Clinton White House outweighs almost everything.”

There is a further insinuation that these “Christian” leaders would support Mike if he had more money. OK, Christian leaders, listen-up … Mike Huckabee would have more money if you supported him! I have been working on an article regarding the need for evangelical Christians to stand with Mike Huckabee in his run for the Presidency, but this article in Newsweek and the comments from Southern Baptists was so troubling to me that I had to speak out today.
Some key thoughts:

Christians: Mike Huckabee is our brother in Christ. How can you say “we like Mike and think he’s the best person to be President” … and then turn around and throw your money into the pots of other “pseudo-conservatives” because you are hypnotized by their money and power and charisma?!

Christians: Where are James Dobson and the Moral Majority? A word of support from both of these would boost Mike Huckabee into the front of the pack and carry him to the nomination and the White House.

Chrisitans: I call on you today to arise from your apathy - to shake off the stupor that comes from blindly following the mainstream media, and to stand with Mike Huckabee in his run for President.

STAND WITH MIKE IN PRAYER. We must agree together to faithfully support Mike Huckabee in prayer each day as he faces the grueling challenges of being a Presidential candidate.

STAND WITH MIKE FINANCIALLY. We must give more than nice words (through blogs, letters to the editor, talking to friends, etc) to Mike’s campaign - he needs our financial support.

STAND WITH MIKE IN YOUR ACTIONS. Mike Huckabee is not a man of personal wealth (like other candidates, who are able to “loan” their own campaigns millions of dollars of their own money), so even with the growing financial support, he still needs us THE PEOPLE of the country to work on his behalf here in the trenches. Here are some ideas:

• 
  
  Start a blog and join the official “Bloggers for Huckabee” blogroll
  


• 
  
  Write letters to the editor to your local paper and to papers around the country about why you “Like Mike” (be sure to include the URL to Mike Huckabee’s website http://www.mikehuckabee.com/)
  


• 
  
  Pass out fliers in local parades and community festivals. SC4Huckabee is a wonderful example of regular people getting the word out to their community about Mike Huckabee.
  

Mike Huckabee is our brother in Christ - he is not perfect, but he stands on the firm foundation of God’s Word, and he knows that as President that he works for the people, not for special interests and not for himself. Mike Huckabee is running for President - indeed, he is not just running for President, he is running for the good of the United States … he is running to strengthen this nation … to lead this nation and to stand firm on the Christian tenets our founding fathers used to build this country.

I will close with a phrase that I have used before in this blog and I will continue to say it until more Christians get up from their pews and agree to stand with Mike Huckabee in his run for President …

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing …

In my lifetime, I do not believe there has ever been a more crucial Presidential election … one that will either strengthen all that is good in this country, or will send us on a path to destruction. I urge my Christian brothers and sisters to realize that the decisions about who will be our next President will be all but etched in stone in just a few months - we cannot wait until November 2008 to vote. We must vote now through our prayers, our money, our actions … we must stand with Mike Huckabee - not only our brother in Christ, but a man who is a true conservative - a man with a proven record of leadership and getting things done while working with people from both sides of the political aisle.
