God Bless America?
Dear Fellow Christians,
With the American presidential election looming, Americans who understand the need to follow the guidance of our founding fathers to include Christians in public office have little to choose from. Both Democrats and Republicans have both selected their candidates for President, one of which will ascend to the most powerful office in the land. Yet neither candidate has fully demonstrated the strong Christian foundation our country desperately needs for the future.
The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission is calling for each candidate to select a true Christian as a running mate for the all important 2008 elections. While it is impossible to know the heart of any individual, their profession of faith, lifestyle and policy positions must be considered. Today's world events and the prospects of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court magnify the need to have our President hear the counsel from a Vice President who is fully committed to their Christian beliefs.
To accomplish this, the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission is asking for your help. YOU can make a difference in two meaningful ways!
Fax the chair person for the political parties in every state and request they encourage their party's candidates to select a TRUE Christian as a running mate in 2008.
Fax the committee chair people TODAY!
You can also sign the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission's petition, which will be sent to both the Republican and Democratic Presidential candidate letting them know that you support the selection of a TRUE Christian for their running mate:
Christians are seeking the Presidency of the United States?
Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain have presented Christian voters with a vexing problem for Christians. Senator Obama has declared he is a Christian, yet based on his votes on key legislation, he has consistently demonstrated a failure to support the values and policy positions important to Christians. While Mr. McCain proclaims support for traditional Christian values and morality, he has chosen to not discuss his own religious beliefs as a part of his campaign for the presidency.
A Christian leader is a MUST!
What qualifications are embodied in a truly Christian candidate for the Vice Presidency? Quite simply, the candidate will demonstrate actions and hold the beliefs personified by all of us who proclaim the name of Jesus Christ as Savior: the need to be re-born in Christ and the affirmation of historic Christianity, having a demonstrable and proven record of support for traditional Christian morality.
A life of dedicated Christian service to the public is demonstrated by the following:
Support for traditional marriage.
As a Christian, the candidate for Vice President must affirm that marriage is an institution created by God and defined as a union between one man and one woman. Americans have ALWAYS demonstrated a compelling interest to ensure children are afforded the best possible environment in which to grow and thrive. Any candidate must do no less and must be opposed to any policies or legislation that seeks to confuse or dilute the traditional institution of marriage.
Support for the Right to Life, proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, without exception.
As a Christian, the candidate for Vice President must echo the founding fathers' proclamation of the "inalienable right to.life." Any acceptable candidate will have a history of promoting policies acknowledging that God provides "all" people are created in the image of God and therefore possess inherent dignity and worth. This individual must be opposed to the killing of all innocent persons at every stage of life, especially the most vulnerable; unborn children, the sick, the disabled and the elderly.
There are many good, viable potential selections for Vice President who are inherently qualified. But they will be ignored if the Presidential candidates don't hear YOUR voice. They MUST know that having a Christian Vice Presidential candidate is important to YOU and YOUR SUPPORT.
Send the candidates a clear message!
Politicians have created spiritual confusion in this 2008 election. We MUST send them a clear message! Tell the campaigns for both political parties that the United States needs a Vice President who is clearly a Christian with a proven record of supporting historic Christian beliefs and morality.

Your voice WILL be heard!
The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission is committed to making it clear to the politicians in both parties that Christians in America do have a voice and we will be heard. Christians have sat idly by and allowed vocal minorities to advance an agenda of Christian defamation under the guise of free speech, advancement of polices of pro-abortion, decimation of the biblical definition of marriage and the euthanizing of the elderly, all for the sake of appeasing the "me first" crowd.
Our leaders must understand that we will support them only when their beliefs and faith compel them to advance policies supporting life, supporting biblical marriage and supporting the idea that freedom of religion applies to Christians, too.
