TIME FOR THE BLACK-ROBE REGIMENT TO FIGHT BACK:
Black-Robe Regiment was the name the British gave to the courageous and patriotic American clergy during the early days of the Republic's founding. Every Sunday they would stand in their pulpits wearing the long black clerical robes of that era and preach the word of God without fear. They would tell their congregations who they should or should not vote for. They would preach on current topics and explain their importance in the founding of the new nation, and above all, they would preach on the responsibility of the public to vote, because in order to have a good government there was a need for good citizens.
A notable patriot-pastor of the day was Pastor John Muhlenberg. From the pulpit of his church in Woodstock, Virginia, he would preach the word of God and, when finished, hang up his black robe to reveal the uniform of an officer in the 8th Virginia Regiment and one of General George Washington's most trusted officers. In one of Pastor Muhlenberg's famous sermons, he finished with these words: "But there is also a time to fight, and that time has now come."
" And the time has now come for today's Black-robe Regiments "to embrace the responsibilities that God has given them related to the nation and its culture, to refuse the current trend of compartmentalization and reclaim the extensive role that He has ordained for them." The last two lines are from the Black-robe Regiment website. Who will stand with Pastor Muhlenberg and say "the time has now come".
On November 4 we will be electing all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 33 Senators.
It is imperative that the Republicans hold on to control of the House and elect 6 more Republican senators to get control of the Senate. This may be the last chance we get to save America by putting the reins on Obama. In Tennessee, Lamar Alexander has a challenger. In the Primary Election it was "Joe Carr, not Lamar". Unfortunately, Carr could not compete with Lamar's warchest and Alexander was selected as the Republican candidate. Like me, whether you like Lamar or not, he has to be reelected. Don't stay home. This election is critical, as are the rest. If you live in a state where the Democrat is being challenged by a Republican, vote for the challenger. It's critical.
Remember, "Freedom isn't free. Freedom is for those who are willing to fight and die for it."
