Internet Activism at LI

I made it to D.C. today and had plenty of time to settle in.( Although it cost me 80 dollars for a speeding ticket in South Carolina!) The training was terrific and had a chance to meet Vincent Harris who was one of Mike Huckabee's Bloggers. It was also interesting to learn how Ron Pauls people raised the money on the internet. Justine Lam did a great job fielding questions about their internet strategy. I am looking forward to applying all that I am learning! I will be here until Friday when I will return home to my Beautiful!

A New Day Dawns...

Good Morning America! It has been a long and arduous journey and we have come to a fork in the road. I do not regret the time, money, or sweat that we have put into the effort to have a main of faith elected to the highest office in the land. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve Mike Huckabee. His message energized those who listened and brought hope to those of us who had grown cynical of politics and politicians who use their offices for self gain and promotion.
I am no longer able to sit back in the arm chair and complain about, "how THEY screwed things up." I am responsible for the knowledge that God has provided. Mike Huckabee did not just give us a voice, he made us realize that we HAVE a voice.
This movement is not about a man named Mike. This began thousands of years ago with a Man named Jesus. Like it or not, this man changed lives. I can personally attest to that as I have been changed by The Man, His Message and His Mission! Wherever His Words impact a heart there Will be Radical Change in a man, his message and his mission. They two shall become one.
Faith is the Foundation For Freedom is the rally cry for those who have been set free by the work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. He did not stay in the grave. He rose and sent his disciples out to Revolutionize the world. Today you and I are Christians (I pray) because of their faith and the faith of others who serve a Risen Savior.
Now go Ye into all the world...

This could get Political

The last few days have been very exciting and suspense filled to say the least. As we enter a very important time in Americas history, we are very much divided in thoughts and sentiment. As one not prone to politics it is eye opening to see just what is involved with politics. We as sinful human beings have impure motives at best. One of the biggest struggles that goes on in my own heart is to question, "Does this action glorify God?" Yet there is a battle to do what is pleasing to myself or others....then there is a decision to be made. As a Christian I am taught to walk by faith, I seek wisdom through prayer, studying God's Word and counseling with others much wiser than myself, then when all has been weighed in the balance, a decision must be made. To decide not to decide is a decision that I am altogether prone to, and therefore I am apt to abdicate that responsibility to others, thereby releasing myself from the "blame" if things go south. We can see this behavior played out in the garden of Eden when God confronted Adam.
If I am to conduct myself in a manner that will glorify God then there will come times when I will have to make decisions that are not the status quo and will be misunderstood by many, even those closest to us. This is what makes men, men of character.

Founder of Minuteman Project Jim Gilchrist, endorsed Huckabee today

This is a big news, I believe, because some are challenging how strong Mike would be on illegal immigration. The Minuteman Project is a movement to help secure our borders and this endorsement speaks volumes about the credibility of Mike Huckabee's position on illegal immigration and border enforcement, in particular.

If you haven't seen it already, Mike released his immigration plan recently:

Mitt Romney endorsed Huckabee in 2005

http://www.swtimes.com/articles/2007/12/11/week_in_review/news/sunday/news04.txt

I agree with what Mitt said in 2005, Mike Huckabee would make a fine president! :-)

The Arkansas News Bureau reported in August 2005 that Romney said Huckabee would have the support of many Massachusetts Republicans if the Arkansan were to run for president in 2008.

While at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion for a meeting about health care, Romney demurred when asked whether a presidential race was in his future but had nice things to say about his host.

“Who knows what the future will hold?” Romney said in 2005. “Most likely, we’ll all stay as governors or find other offices, but we need to make sure that we have a strong person who can take the baton from President Bush, and Gov. Huckabee is certainly one of those individuals. He'd make a fine president.”

You can't win for losin!

"Mike Huckabee Defends Role in Parole of Convicted Rapist Who Went on to Kill"

I must say that Mike cannot win with the media. First they attack him because he is tough on crime and supports the death penalty then this breaks out and they skewer him over an issue that he had neither the authority nor foresight to prevent. This is truly an unfortunate incident however, is he too tough on crime or too lenient?

Another blog from Randy Alcorn

This latest blog is another good one, in my opinion, but some of it may not sit well with everyone. The blog entry I am referring to is from November 19, 2007.
http://randyalcorn.blogspot.com

He explains why he is able to endorse a candidate even though he is the head of a non-profit ministry. That is, he is not endorsing Huckabee as the head of the ministry but as a private citizen. He makes a number of other good points, which would great for all pastors and ministry leaders to read and consider.

He also explains why he can't support the other candidates. He shows why Romney cannot be trusted, he previously explained why Guliani is unacceptable, he reveals that John McCain is for the use of embryonic stem cells, and shows Fred Thompson's shortcomings (this may be where the fur starts to fly).

Whether you agree with all that he says, I believe it is worth the time to read and consider.
