CLEVELAND — The Latest on the Republican National Convention (all times EDT):
7:45 p.m.
The head of the socially conservative Family Research Council is promising to vote for Donald Trump.
Tony Perkins is the first speaker on Thursday night's program at the Republican National Convention. Perkins — who's also a Louisiana delegate — says Trump has demonstrated his commitment to religious conservative values through his promise to appoint conservative judges, his support for the GOP platform and the selection of running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

NEED Evangelicals to turn out big time!
a fifth of the vote!
Thanks Ted
A bunch of holier than thous on my Facebook will have a heart attack
The turnout of evangelicals this election will be yuge - I believe they are the ones that want to win the most.
Not sure what Evangelical is but I know we need them!!!! :)
“Not sure what Evangelical is but I know we need them!!!! :)”
Evangelicals are people that would love to have a hard-core Christian in the White House, but understand that the country is not yet ready for that.
So they’re willing to accept an IMPERFECT candidate to at least hold the country together, rather than be a defacto cheerleader for the Democrats by whining about our choice.
Unfortunately, the ONE PERSON that claims to be one in our Primary field, I guess, is not one of them.
My favorite part of the speech was when he said he’d work to get rid of the Johnson law on preachers losing their tax exemption. EVERYONE should have freedom of speech!
James Dobson also formally endorsed Trump tonight on facebook:
“As a psychologist and a family counselor, I have spent my life equipping and resourcing families. One thing I have observed is that you cannot make a child talk about his or her parents the way Donald Trump¹s children speak of him,” Dobson explained. “That is one of a man¹s most significant affirmations.”
God is God, the president is the president, different jobs. Evangelicals just want a president that will allow God to work in this country.
And the pluses keep totting up....bunch of good people noticing and saying that Trump and family are good people....

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

That “Johnson law” goes back to 1954 and has not been enforced against black pastors, only whites.
