One can only imagine how the Founding Fathers would react if they stepped on the political scene today and saw the massive amounts of money invested in securing political office.  I am convinced they would deem it so contrary to their desire for a non-professional system of public servants called legislators and Presidents that they would weep. 

They would question, as do I, why so much money is willingly poured into securing an office that produces such a paltry amount of income compared to what is being spent.  They would logically conclude that it has to do with Power, Influence, and Control rather than Public Service and would be Irate! 

They would have much the same reaction as Jesus concerning the money changers in the Temple and John the Baptist to the Pharisees who came to him to be baptized.  They would question the motives and would likely urge the populace to clean house every term or two, sending a steady flow of fresh new blood to Washington.  They would hope to convey the message that those elected officials have a responsibility and duty to represent the people, protect and defend the United States, and honor the Constitution.

Today, Political Action Committees (PACS) and an innumerable number of special interest groups clamor for the attention of all candidates, especially those they deem likely to be elected.  They seek to create a sense of obligation or gratitude on the part of the candidate so that they will be favorable to their positions, agendas, and/or goals.  In short, they are buying politicians.  What better way to ensure that you get “inside information,” “favoritism” in negotiations, and anchor yourself and your business interests in the “good ole boy” or “cronyism” system that is prevalent in DC today?

Suppose you are fed up, as I am, with the current way of doing business in Washington, DC.  If you desire to see America restored to her core principles and values, it is time to awaken from our slumber and do our due diligence to determine which candidates are best suited to fulfill that dream.  We may have to accept lesser individuals initially, but if we stay the course, we can, in a few election cycles, convey the message that we demand a return to our constitutional roots.

• We can convey that we demand the Constitution be followed. 
• We demand that the rule of law be adhered to. 
• We demand that life be given the sanctity that God gives it. 
• We demand that there be no more career politicians in Washington or the State Houses. 
• We demand that God be put back in our schools, our churches be allowed to worship freely as guaranteed by the Constitution, and as the Founders, the wisdom of the Bible be sought in making laws and developing policies for this nation.

It seems that the only religion that the argument of “Separation of Church & State” ever arises is regarding the Christian faith.  It seems we are the only ones the government believes are guilty of “offending” others.  Then, with an overly aggressive desire to be Politically Correct, many have been booted out of Public Schools, Public Buildings, and Public Grounds.  Too many Christians have bought the flawed argument that government must be “secular only” and the Church “dare not engage in anything political.” 

That is foreign to the Bible and the ideology and actions of the Founders and the Constitution.  The First Amendment does not mandate the separation of Church and state. It only mandates that the Federal Government Will Not be allowed to establish a National Religion and give it preferential treatment over other religions. 

I am a Christian and an American citizen, and I have a LIFE that cannot be compartmentalized into “work life, business life, social life, spiritual life, and political life.”  I am not a cat; I do not have nine lives.  I have a Life that affects everything around me, including politics.  That is why I am so driven to educate all I can and seek to see America restored.  I do it for the sake of Freedom and the Kingdom of God!

God bless you, and God bless America is my prayer and desire!
