Is there a way we can act to back up that prayer?

• "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their lands".
• Real progress never comes easily. It involves sacrifice. It involves pain.
• Sacrifice and pain are anathema to our culture.

  It is much easier to inculcate youth with the fundamental truths of self-government than to change the thinking/habits of adults. As long as public education continues to be a monopoly that is dominated by the N.E.A. which propagates cultural Marxism, the hope for any future reform of the habits of the populace and their government will be remote.

The Congress finds that - (3) parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children, and States, localities, and private institutions have the primary responsibility for supporting that parental role; (4) in our Federal system, the primary public responsibility for education is reserved respectively to the States and the local school systems and other instrumentalities of the States…

  • Survey shows one fourth of Americans want to end Public Schooling

  The effort to change the thinking/habits of adults must persist, even in the face of insurmountable odds, to decelerate the approach of this culture to the point of no return. F.R., Limbaugh, WorldNetDaily have contributed to this goal.

  CNC PLANNING - THE KEY TO TAKE AMERICA BACK "every meeting, every conference, …every talk show, (every post on F.R.) and every conversation is a failure that does not produce an army. The first requisite of an army is to subscribe to service. It is not your mission to discover how God will use you; that is for God alone to know. If it is God’s wish, it will be revealed to you. At this moment in history your only mission is to serve with honor and succeed, but if you imagine you can either serve or succeed without God, you are in the wrong army."

  Taking America Back, by Joseph Farah If any criticism can be levelled at Joseph Farah's approach it is that it propounds a leaderless movement. It calls for individual action, which is good, but like most grass roots movements it needs reinforcement to sustain it. It requires a spokesperson to focus energy and to enunciate its goals.

  ShopNetDaily.com - A WorldNetDaily Exclusive! the only way Americans can re-establish their freedom -- their God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- is to break the hammerlock of statism and the notion that morally relativistic secular humanism holds the answers to controlling men’s passions and behavior.

  Taking America Back exposes the weaknesses in America’s current system and offers practical solutions -- solutions that are real and doable. Solutions that can revive freedom, morality, and justice in our nation.

  "Joseph Farah and I share a fierce passion for protecting children and a belief that without the Ten Commandments there would be no U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights. Every American who shares our convictions should read this book." -- Dr. Laura C. Schlessinger, Author of The Ten Commandments

  "Joseph Farah has written a thought-provoking recipe for reclaiming America’s heritage of liberty and self-governance. I don’t agree with all the solutions proposed here, but Farah definitely nails the problems." -- Rush Limbaugh

  Taking Back America This is the place to find out more about the book, to share your thoughts about "Taking America Back" with Farah and others.

  Op/Ed - Taking America backToo many Republicans don't honor the Constitution any more than their Democrat counterparts. They don't understand the federal government is strictly limited by the Constitution in its powers. They don't understand that most lawmaking authority was reserved by our wise founders for the states. They don't understand that the great American experiment in politics was its commitment to self-government – meaning a commitment to individual liberty and responsibility.

  The country is not ready for that second American revolution. Not yet. It needs one. But the people don't know it.
  America is in desperate need of a spiritual awakening – the kind of revival that preceded the War of Independence in the 18th century. Spiritual awakening leads to moral renewal, and moral renewal leads to self-government, limited government, freedom.
  You can't have the latter without the former.

I do not disagree with your post, and will check out Joseph Farrah. But let me suggest some of the ideas I have toyed with in my mind. I am mindful that most would require sacrifice, and that this likely makes them unlikely to be accomplished.

Suppose FReepers could identify one candidate from each state and deliver to that candidate 100 volunteers to get his/her message out door to door before a campaign.

Suppose FReepers could idenfity one issue and provide a registered booth at one mall in each of 300 cities to present conservative information on the issue for 100 days.

Suppose FReepers could establish minority outreach GOP headquarters in each of 300 cities. These headquarters would not be for distributing "we like you until we get your votes" sound bites but for actually establishing a relationship with the people in the neighborhood and create a true conservative dialog. Note: dialog involves listening.

Suppose FReepers could shut down the news department phone lines of 300 television market leaders in 300 cities for 2 days demaing they cover the Dimocrat usurpation of power in court nominations. Call with one clear, consistent message like "when will you tell the public that the Dimocrats are denying these nominees a simple vote on their appointment.?"

Suppose FReepers shut down the office of 300 representatives/senators until the official agreed to a debate on one specific topic with a reasonably trained FReeper at the venue of the candidate's choosing.

Would those be big enough to instill terror in the left? Would those be "Shock and Awe?" Would those be possible?

Shalom.
