Folks, this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA
********* Get Ready *********


Keep this going around the globe ... read it and forward every time you
receive it. We can't give up on this issue.

Paul Harvey and Prayer

Paul Harvey says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for
singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I
didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his
Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So
what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the
entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and
asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans
going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on
Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian
churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you
expect -- somebody chanting ?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a
Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim
prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear
someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in
Rome ...

But what about the atheists? That is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not
going to pass the collection plate ; Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to
the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell
thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at
a football game is going to shake the world's foundations. Christians
are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts
strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to
pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us
to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are
telling us to cease praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that
one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority
doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority
rules! It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't have
to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don'
t have to believe in God or
attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor
your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights
away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him , God
bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest
nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect
our right to pray and worship God.


Let's make 2008 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God
back as the foundation of our families and institutions ... and our
military forces come home from all the wars.

Keep looking up.

If you agree with this, please pass it on.
If not delete it.
