ONE NATION UNDER GOD


Aspirational Goal: To bring a Political and Spiritual Awakening to America.<br />

WHY DO WE PRAY?<br />

by Tim Heidenreich | October 20, 2022<br />

I know a guy who said he didn’t want to bother God with prayers for small things. He was<br />

afraid that when he needed something big, God would turn him down because he had asked<br />

for too many other things. Maybe that sounds strange to you, but people have all kinds of<br />

beliefs. Confusion about prayer is one of those with lots of differing opinions.<br />

In my experience, I pray because I know there is much that I can’t do – only God can do it.<br />

Most things are out of my control, but nothing is sever out of His control. A cancer diagnosis<br />

for your loved one; a looming bankruptcy for your business; surviving your terrible car<br />

accident; finding a new job after you’ve lost this one; or knowing whether to stay in your<br />

marriage or walk away. All those get out of our control fast, but we know Someone who<br />

can.<br />

My advice is to talk to your Father everyday and tell him anything that’s bothering you, or<br />

someone you care for. Then listen quietly for a few minutes and see if He tells you<br />

something that you need to know. Make it a habit, and you’ll be glad you did.<br />

sincerely ask your prayers for the <strong>COS</strong> team, their families, and for the success of our<br />

mission. Prayers for upcoming events, legislative issues, for critical roles to be filled,<br />

personal needs, surgery or illness, comfort in time of grief, items for thanksgiving. Phone<br />

SAVE THE DATE! Some of you may have attended our National Day of Prayer online event<br />

back in May – it was a beautiful time in God's presence. We are planning a similar event on<br />

Veterans Day, November 11 at 8:00 pm Eastern time. Representatives from the various<br />

branches of the armed forces will be leading in prayer for our military. I hope you'll put it on<br />

your calendar and plan to attend.<br />

The Babylon Bee – FBI reports the best night's sleep ever after "My Pillow" raid.


COL. ALLEN WEST'S WEAPON OF CHOICE<br />

During his appearance at the 2022 "Reclaiming Liberty" Summit in Orlando on Friday, Lt.<br />

Col. Allen West spoke to an animated crowd about the attacks on our freedom and his tried<br />

and tested policy for anyone who feels called to duty to combat the problem. West told the<br />

audience to use the "5 C's" when they face criticism over supporting <strong>COS</strong> Action and the use<br />

of Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention of states.<br />

The Colonel explained that to be effective in sharing the positive, constitutional, and legal<br />

solution of Convention of States Action with your family and friends, you must have a<br />

pocket constitution with you at all times – especially when you leave the house. He<br />

reminded the audience of the "5 C's" you must have to be successful. They are as follows:<br />

Courage – to stand alone.<br />

Competence – to articulate about the Constitutional Republic.<br />

Commitment – to the Constitution and your oath.<br />

Conviction – to persevere even when it becomes difficult.<br />

Character – to do what's right.<br />

Any orchestrated attack upon you or <strong>COS</strong> requires our courage, confidence, and the<br />

character to lead in the face of negative feedback. Those who complain rarely offer a<br />

solution themselves, or pitch in to do something to help. West reminds us that we don't<br />

need to reach 100% of the people because some will be unwilling to listen. Every minute<br />

wasted on those unwilling to listen robs us of the time to reach the 60-65% (conservative<br />

estimate) of people who could benefit from our message by becoming citizen activists.<br />

Colonel West has been solidly behind the <strong>COS</strong> Action project from the beginning. He advises<br />

that voting is only the first duty. We must remain vigilant and become involved. The hour<br />

is late and he urged leaders to remember that we are defending our country and our way of<br />

life. After decades of neglect and trust in unworthy elected officials, now is the time to act<br />

without delay.<br />

In an inspirational and motivational speech, Col. West called on quotes from scripture to<br />

comfort those who are going into battle with him – for we are going into battle for a sacred<br />

cause. Our republic has been a shining example and the longest lasting experiment of<br />

freedom in the history of our world. Although it has fallen on the hard times of tyranny,<br />

the solution was written into the Constitution for just such times as these.<br />

RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS PLAN TO STEAL 2024 ELECTION<br />

Presented by Hillary Clinton | October 25, 2022<br />

VIEW VIDEO HERE<br />

HELLO INDIVISIBLES!<br />

I'm here to highlight something that – aha – is keeping me up at night.<br />

And I know this group really understands what I'm about to say...<br />

I know we're all focused on the 2022 midterm elections, and they are incredibly important.<br />

But we also have to look ahead, because you know what – our opponents certainly are!<br />

Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.<br />

And they are not making a secret of it!<br />

The right wing controlled supreme court may be poised to rule on giving STATE<br />

LEGISLATURES, Yes you heard me that correctly, state legislatures, the power to overturn<br />

presidential elections!<br />

Just think, if that happens the 2024 presidential election could be decided, not by the<br />

popular vote, or even by the anachronistic electoral college, but by state legislatures, many<br />

of them republican controlled!


But there's also good news in the face of this VERY REAL THREAT to democracy.<br />

INDIVISIBLE has launched "CRUSH THE COUP" – to make sure we are ready to defend<br />

democracy in 2024. They have put together a list of critical races in 6 key states and how<br />

you can get involved.<br />

Will you support "CRUSH THE COUP" by donating to INDIVISIBLE and state legislature<br />

candidates? Each of these races is highly competitive, and your dollars could very well<br />

decide the winners AND the winner of the next presidential election.<br />

THIS COULD NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT OR MORE URGENT!<br />
