We can only hope. Let’s pray!
I have been trying to get in for 2 days!
ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
I sure hope so - it tells me that the counter’s a blur because of the number of people e-signing the petition. Praise God!

I just copied and pasted the URL and it came right up, showing over 150K signers so far.

Yes sir...I just got on myself and signed the Declaration.
Okay, so I’m behind the times and I don’t frequently sign online petitions, but I have done a few. This could be one of the exceptions.
What is the Manhattan Declaration??
Then the rate really is accelerating. It was just over 100,000 only a few hours ago. I think it was going at about 1000/hr, but this latest move is much faster than that, closer to 10,000/hr (loose estimate only). Wow. But I still can’t get it to come up here.
I just signed...number 107,784. No problems getting in or signing.
(BTW Thanks for your service)

Odd. It must have something to do with network topography.

Briefly, the Manhattan Declaration is a line in the sand, drawn by a diverse collection of conservative religious leaders, stating that we the undersigned will not under any circumstances bend our knee to Caesar in those areas where God and our conscience have clearly spoken otherwise.
Especially in regard to abortion, gay marriage, and religious liberty, if our secular government puts us to the test, commanding us, for example, to pay the Pelosi Abortion Premium or to endorse gay marriage, we will not comply, regardless of the consequences.
In short, we have declared a war of passive but resolute resistance against the militant secularist regime presently in power. In the tradition of Augustine, an unjust law is no law at all. We are reaffirming in this act our commitment to the superior claim of the natural law over the paper statutes of mere mortals, the very premise that led our founders to declare our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be inalienable gifts of our Creator. Nothing else will explain our Constitution, and nothing else will sustain our Republic. This is for the game.
This is supported by catholics, evangelicals, and orthodox Christians.
I signed!

I already signed four days ago. Maybe this is taking off and they just can’t handle the load. Poor David Frum, whatever is he going to do?
I signed. 128,107
I was proud to sign! It’s at 130,798.
