Now I don't want to get off on a rant here...

Pray The Vote

But select capable men from all the
people-men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain-and appoint
them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

—Exodus 18:21

When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect this duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted.
—Noah Webster, Founding Father

From the first prayer offered at the Continental Congress by Jacob Duché to Ben Franklin's dramatic call for prayer during the Constitutional Convention, America has a rich history of reliance on prayer that continues today.

In this election year, the need for prayer is as great as ever. The Presidential Prayer Team will launch its unique initiative, Pray the Vote, on June 21, 2004. The goal of Pray the Vote is simply to stimulate prayer for the fall elections. Believing that when Americans pray we open a door for God to work in our nation, The Presidential Prayer Team is encouraging people to get involved in a variety of ways that include:

• Making a commitment to pray for the upcoming elections
  
• Prayer Parties—invite your friends and neighbors to pray
  
• October 5th Virtual Prayer Rally, one month before the election
  
• November 1st Virtual Prayer Rally, Election Eve
  
• Downloadable resources available soon on the website

The right to vote your values is one of the most cherished privileges of citizenship.
