In my prayers, I've also included George Washington, and asked him to intercede if he can.
Last winter, I had an urge to go to Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge. No particular reason - my heart said go and pray. I did. I prayed under the stained glass window portraying General Washington in prayer, at the base of the carillon tower. I asked him to protect our beloved nation. I left shortly after, and within 10 minutes I started hearing reports on the radio about a plane down in the Hudson River. It was the miracle on the Hudson. The whole episode gave me shivers down my spine.
Yesterday, as I was driving I again had the impulse to call on General Washington, so I've been reaching out to him in prayer. I can't explain it, I just go with it. We need all the help we can get.
I don’t mean to offend, but praying to George Washington is nothing short of idolatry.
Assuming you are sincerely religious and have a respect for scripture, go read II Kings and see what happens to a nation that turns to someone other than Jehovah.
Praying to dead men (or women) is wrong, wrong, wrong. And our country desperately needs divine intervention from the one true God right now.
We must stand strong as those others did before us. There are more of us than there are of them. It does not seem that way because not only are we fighting them but the dirtbags in the media.
We will prevail. We must. There is no other choice.

That is VERY dangerous. Praying to anyone except Jesus, who DOES ever live and intercede (His role as Priest), is dangerous; also, Jesus is the Perfect Intercessor and cannot be matched by anyone even if [as in the Roman Catholic tradition] you are allowed/encouraged to pray to saints.
