Arizona Won't Demand Birth Certificates for Presidential Candidates

.
Rats. We were so impressed and relieved that the state of Arizona had taken the bold step of requiring Birth certificates from Presidential Candidates - but now, that bill has been set aside.

They are saying that it had only passed the State House and never would have passed the State Senate. Maybe people got cold feet after the angst concerning the Immigration bill. Too bad.

But hey - they made the right call in insisting that people be able to prove their citizenship if pulled over for a driving violation. The crime near the border has become unbearable and something had to be done. So why not be just as gutsy in requiring all presidential candidates to prove their citizenship as well? If the public has to do it, the president should, too!

We need Conservative representation that is brave enough to take the heat. Perhaps another state will step up to the plate and require all candidates to prove their citizenship when filing for office.

Will Obama Keep His Promises?

I've been around too many salesmen. I don't trust Senator Obama's "coolness." Senator Obama's "explanations" aren't convincing me - just as they aren't convincing half the nation. Many of us like real people. Senator McCain, although I don't always agree with him, is real. Governor Palin is real. I and my house agree with Palin on the issues.

Joe the Plumber represents many of us small business owners - many of whom don’t like Obama's Robbing Hood economic plan. He can't cut taxes to 95% of the population and yet still fund all the different programs he claims he'll fund. He's making empty campaign promises. I am afraid of what he might really do once he was in power, especially with the government now so involved with the banking industry. We need to know more about him before we put him in such an important seat.

Let us Pray

A forum comment from a man named Bill stated,

"I am a Christian and I dont agree with a lot of what Obama says, but (mudslinging is a waste of time) ...When can we look at the issues? And for other christians, have you even prayed about who you are going to vote for or do you just kind of you know already know the mind of God and who He wants to put in office. My nose is bloody and scabbed because I am face down praying for this election. And I truly feel regardless of who it is we need to be praying for our president, even if we don’t want him to be, because it’s not about us."

This is a very good point. We need to pray for God's hand in this election, trust that God is working His plan according to His will, and - if we are trusting God's hand - accept who He places and pray continually for that president.

Lord I bring this country before you. Thy will be done. I pray for all the very, very angry people on both sides of the debate. Lord, in Jesus' name, help our country to turn to You and trust You. Bring peace and understanding where there is none, and Your righteous discipline and response to sin where it is required. Lord, I pray this country will turn to You on bended knee and know that You are God. I pray for all the candidates, McCain, Obama, Palin and Biden. Lord, do whatever is necessary to bring them to their knees before you. And I pray that the person of Your choice is elected President. In Jesus' Holy name, Amen.
