Good Morning, Meetpastordan Readers…but even more importantly, Good Morning, My Fellow Americans:
We have the privilege and responsibility to participate in what will undoubtedly be the most important event in modern-day history. That is not hyperbola…that is a fact. Tomorrow’s election promises to change the direction of our country in a most dramatic way. One result will take us down the road to full-blown socialism and a continuation of the failed policies that have defamed and disgraced our great country; the other offers hope for the restoration of the “Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave!” YOU have the right to voice your opinion concerning the outcome, and don’t think for a moment that every vote doesn’t count. According to the statistics that are available now, in the last election, 25 million Evangelicals sit it out because they didn’t like the candidate. That election was won by 5 million votes. Just do the math! Our country will not survive a repeat of that error.
Unfortunately, the media has kept this political race a personality contest. And since neither candidate seems like the person you would invite over to meet your children, it is easy to conclude that neither candidate is Presidential material. But that’s what the media wants us to believe. They have kept the issues that are plaguing our country in the background because the candidate and agenda they are biasly supporting doesn’t have a track record of success. Therefore their intent has been to numb us (“we the People”) down to the point that we JUST WANT IT TO BE OVER! I DON’T EVEN CARE WHO WINS…JUST MAKE IT STOP! If that intent has been successful, then “we the People” and our country lose, and an insidious agenda wins. My suggestion: vote the platform, not the personality.
I want to list below sixteen categories of concern for conservative voters, and each Presidential candidate’s stance on each issue. But before I jump into that, I want to take a moment and review how the policies, both political as well as moral and ethical, have led to our country’s current malaise.
The current administration, from its inception, has been wrapped in a cloak of lying, cheating and stealing. And when that lack of honor and integrity exists at the highest levels, it trickles down and throughout the culture the same despicable way a cancer spreads. Before long the moral fabric of the victim, just like the physical body of the victim, is ravaged.
The policies of this administration have been cloaked in lies, and they have been sold to us as “being in the best interest of everyone?” – for example, Obamacare, Common Core, and the Iran Nuclear Deal. This administration has turned the justice department into a non-justice department, consequently the higher crime rates, the current drug epidemic, destruction of private property, the influx of illegal aliens, and most recently… the lack of equal application of justice in the face of criminal activity. This administration has used the IRS as a hammer against those who speak out or support policies that are contrary to the current agenda, for instance the targeting of conservative groups, or Dinesh D’Souza. This administration has chip, chip, chipped away at the fundamental principles that have been the foundation of our great country, such as the Constitution; Judeo/Christian beliefs; the traditional family structure, and the “sanctity of life”. This is wrapped in a Liberal Progressive Agenda to weaken our current society and begin restructuring it according to a new blueprint called socialism. This administration’s foreign policy – or lack of it – has put our country at risk in the face of a nuclear North Korea and a rogue Iran. While we used to be that shining light on the hill with a capacity to promote peace through strength, we have become “a puppy with its tail between its legs”. Our allies don’t trust us anymore, and our enemies don’t fear us anymore. What a slap in the face to all who have fought and died for our freedom!
This is by no means a complete list of the current administration’s shortcomings, but it highlights enough that is objectionable to most conservatives that hopefully you will feel compelled to do what you can tomorrow to restore our country to its former greatness. Please, please, please, I implore you… VOTE TOMORROW.

Tomorrow we decide our country’s fate for generations to come. I encourage you to pray for wisdom and guidance and make your pilgrimage to the ballot box. Let me close with a quote and a Scripture that seems totally appropriate for our time in our history
“If America upholds God’s eternal standards and follows His unchanging ways, then it will be blessed with His favor…His protection…His prosperity….But if America should depart from the ways of God, if it should disregard His eternal standards, then the smiles of heaven, the blessings of God, will be withdrawn-its prosperity, its protection, and its powers would be taken away. He’s giving a warning to the nation: The day America turns away from God will be the day that begins the removing of its blessings.” Jonathan Cahn, “The Harbinger”
“Then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.” 2Chronicles 7:14
