On Tuesday night, Franklin Graham announced he will embark on a 50-state tour of the United States next year. He made the following announcement on his Facebook page:
America is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I’ve lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer.
The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Next year I am planning to travel to all 50 states to conduct prayer rallies—we are calling this the Decision America Tour. I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles.
I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level—local, state, and federal. We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming the truth of God’s Gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now.
You just made a FOOL out of yourself.
How so.?..
Read the responses to your post. They’re pretty clear.
So you switch topics, in other words you are just trolling this thread to stir up people.
Seeking to argue and throwing around bait.
Why don’t you read post 32, and quit posing.
You aren’t grasping what he is doing, and what his release is telling you. He is going to run a 50 state campaign for conservatives to turn-out, vote, and run for office.
YES.. I got it... that may do “some” good...
20 million illegals voting (multiple times) will trump that...
The political coup HAS HAPPENED.. and it’s settling in.. organizing.. the democrats are NOT in chaos..
the republicans ARE..
Voting won’t help America.
Repentance will..
It doesn’t help that the freedom and liberty judeo Christians hold dear are the same freedoms and liberty that makes Hollywood, porn and music industries have their headquarters here too..
Maybe america is a big Babylon that isn’t supposed to turn around ..
Prayer is never “over” or “past”. Those are two primary duties for Christians, prayer and spreading the Gospel.
There is a time for prayer and a time to STOP PRAYING..
When the time to stop praying comes.. praying is COWARDICE..
If not hypocrisy..
The reason Republicans lost in 08 and 12 was due to very poor campaigns, and rampant voter fraud.

Well, Michael, first of all: We start hearing this “voter fraud” stuff every election cycle 2 years before the election and for 2 years afterward. I have NOT seen anything to substantiate any meaningful voter fraud that could have thrown any recent election; including the 2000 Election. Secondly.....
How good of a campaign would anyone have to run to convince someone that Obama was destroying this nation? We saw what he did between 2008 and 2012. Anyone with an IQ higher than a can of Spam would have voted against B. Hussein Obama if the only alternative was a one-eyed, crack whore.
You won’t be convincing any Christians here that what is being said here from Graham is foolish ... :-) ...
Hes not the ONLY foolish one..
You won’t find that one from the Word of God ... LOL ...
Is it because of your hostility to Christianity?
"Actually it’s a mystery to me, why a real GOD would even need a religion.. Cartoon God’s definitely need a religion, priests, popes, pastors, choirs, traditions, ceremonies, and vestments.. etc..
But religion can be cute... can make boring things interesting..
In regards to “foolish” ...
1 Corinthian 1
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
Some of the best news possible for 2016 and America, and an anti-christian troll hijacked the thread.
Hosepipe had an agenda.
Well, that agenda in this thread seems to be anti-Christian and anti-Graham ... :-) ...
So only truthful brave men do not pray? You no nothing about prayer, do you? Prayer can be done unceasingly and at the same time as doing anything else.
Don’t pray........ “DO”..."
If Obama is well-deserved divine punishment, what do you propose we "do" that would thwart God's will?
See how that works?
Why did you work so hard to hijack this thread?
I made one post.. tried to answer some of the responses..
whats wrong with that?..
It is interesting how at first you pretended this is about voting, doing.
“”Don’t pray........ “DO”...””
When post 32 points out that Graham’s plan is doing that, a 50 state campaign to increase the number of conservatives and to get them to turn out and vote, and to run for politics, you switched arguments to ‘do nothing’, because it is too late.
You switched to rambling about it being hopeless and too late and that all this “doing” won’t help.
Why did you want to hijack this thread?
It appears from your posting history that you just don’t like Christianity and Christians.
To my knowledge, the voter fraud allegations were never looked into by the GOP. The legal system was never employed. Maybe that’s why you’ve never seen anything to substantiate it. What came of the Black Panthers’ intimidation in from of numerous election areas? Nothing really. Those military ballots that never reached land in time for the election - what happened to them? These are but a fraction of examples of what could have been protested by the GOP but was not.
In addition you ask how good of a campaign should anyone have had to run to beat 0bama? Apparently a better one. You are correct that it should have been a no-brainer, but you know the results. Remember Candy Crowley’s fact-checking lie during the debate? The lie and Candy herself should have been dealt with immediately. The Republicans play not to lose while the Dems play to win - and they don’t play by any rules either.
I don’t really want to argue this point. If we disagree, we disagree. I’m very sure this next time everyone who wants this country back will vote.
NOW there is a very good question, a good response rather than "the others" trying to pillory me..
REVOLT... which is what the 2nd amendment is all about... making revolt possible and LEGAL....
When; The "givernment" turns ROGUE revolt is ALL that remains..
UNLESS you want someone ELSE to spill their AND THEIR familys BLOOD.. to restore good givernment..
That won't work..
>>Graham should be calling the nation to repentence not prayer; loudly condemning the sinful, evil and filthy behavior that is exhibited by so many in America today. Americans
People must turn to prayer to learn to hear the Holy Spirit again. Then they will be driven to repent. Right now, a call to repent falls on ears that can’t hear.
