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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
