Let’s Get Christians Registered to Vote for Small Government
Did you know that of the 60 million committed Christians in America only 30 million vote in any given election? That’s sad. And it must change.
Christians largely support small government, yet far too many of them remain on the sidelines as their government grows bigger, infringing on more and more of their religious liberties. If even just a small percentage of that non-voting segment were to start voting regularly, it could turn the entire nation back toward freedom under small government.
Getting Christians to vote starts with getting them registered. To aid in this effort Richmond Tea Party is launching a campaign to facilitate voter registration drives in churches all across Richmond and its surrounding areas. If you are a churchgoer and want to get people in your church registered to vote, we can provide all the materials you need to conduct a registration drive one Sunday (or multiple Sundays) before the October 15th deadline for the November 6th election. All you have to do is show up, hand out and collect registration forms, and return them to Richmond Tea Party or mail them yourself to the appropriate registrar. And for any people who complete forms but would rather mail them on their own, we will provide you with envelopes to hand them.
If you’re interested in helping or learning more, please e-mail Jon Wakefield at [email protected], and he will get back to you to discuss the details. If you know anyone else who might be interested, regardless of whether or not they’re in the Tea Party, please send them the link to this story. And if you’re not a churchgoer yourself but you know others who are, please send them this link as well. Also, watch the following video for how important it is for every Christian to vote and how they can register online, and share it with all the Christians you know:
Let’s get them registered. Let’s get them voting. And let’s get them on board to help restore small-government principles in America so that we can survive our current crises and ultimately thrive again as a free nation.

Thank you for this effort. Indeed, Christians are having their liberties challenged and oppressed, as are many other faith communities. Gay and lesbian Christian are oppressed daily by Virginia’s law enshrining prejudice rather than respecting liberty. Immigrant Christians are afraid to go to church, choir practice, Bible study, because of fear of ‘profiling’. Historic Black congregations in Virginia – particularly rural Virginia – have been vandalized, burned, had shots fired, etc, with resurgence of violent racism. Etc. And, of course, many Muslim communities are facing hideous prejudice and profiling.
Further, there are candidates who are threatening to historic faith of Christianity.
Mr Romney is a leader in a cult that uses imagery of Christianity, but is a heterodox cult, that obeys its own ‘sort of bible’ – the Book of Mormon – that is an invention of the 19th century. And, they baptize people who were obviously Christians, who are dead, so that their ‘souls’ become Mormon. THEY BAPTIZE DEAD PEOPLE so that their souls become Mormon. Without the permission of the families of the deceased who would know the actual faith of the deceased. If Mormons tried to baptize my Bible-believing parents and ancestors without the permission of their family who knew their faith, I would find that VERY disrespectful. But, how would we know: the Mormons do it in secret. Perhaps this is where Romneys get their EXTREME SECRECY: keeping foreign allegiance, in banks, corporations and other FOREIGN ENTITIES SECRET, under FOREIGN LAW, and SUBJECT to FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. SECRET Rituals, and SECRET money.
Mr Ryan was invited and went to give a special testimonial – in 2005 – to a ANTI-CHRISTIAN thinker/writer, Ayn Rand. Mr Ryan has often said that Ayn Rand was most influential on him. Rand is not only a prominent ANTI-CHRISTIAN/ANTI-CHRIST, but wrote with praise about a sexually sadistic child rapist/murdere. This possesed beast cut off the limbs of the dear child, gutted her, and sewed her eyes open to fool her parents into thinking that she was still alive. Ayn Rand praised this beast. Mr Ryan – knowing about Ayn Rand – in 2005, WHILE A CONGRESSMAN – not as a high school student, not as a college student – BUT AS A CONGRESSMAN – was invited to praise her in a testimonial, and DID … AS A CONGRESSMAN Again, secret beliefs, and secret ‘worship’ of a hideous ANTI-CHRIST.
Indeed, Christians ought to study, pray and discern their vote clearly.
Thank you.
Christ is at the center of our personal redemption. Bottom line – the first paragraph of els666 post is implying the gospel of community redemption – not individual. Know the truth of Christ for yourself & let it expose to you any hindrances or problems in yourself. Everything that you see in els666′s post is being spread to suppress votes, discouraging the voters that will come out in support of a platform that is against abortion- murder of innocent babies.
Studying the lies and secrets of cults is not a path that leads to life unless you are reaching the individual. In judging other christians, we are glorified fruit inspectors. We’re not called to judge the non-christians – we are judged on how we call them. I seek to know Christ, Christ crucified, and that in itself is the entire gospel. Distractions and divisions encourage us to think more highly of ourselves than we ought.
There are indeed secrets that do bother me…secrets in my government, games played behind the scene by people with delusions of grandeur. As a christian, it is important to me that we don’t add sharia law to our system – even as a parallel option.
Our nation will not exist without sovereignty and borders. Sept 9th, 7pm, churches accross the country will host an internet event called iPledge. First, I Pledge to pray. Secondly, I pledge to vote. Many leaders will be speaking at iPledge. Grace Alive Outreach in Midlothian is a local host church.
SADLY,
Mr or Ms Tracy judges and condemns without evidence, and bears false witness against the writer – therefore a sin against a direct commandment from Yahweh to Moses on Sinai.
The ‘good news’ that Jesus performed daily – as evidenced by the Gospel book writers – was to show in his person and presence on earth that ‘the reign of God’ has come to us, and to heal the sick (the sick of any and all sorts). These were daily works performed by Jesus, as evidenced by the Gospel book writers. And, we know also from the writers that Jesus preached against the social sins of groups – the sins of the Romans, the sins of the hypocritical religious leaders, the sins of the violent, etc.
Jesus very words and acts approach individuals with truth, an approach groups – including entire socieites – with the truth.
Therefore, Mr or Ms Tracy is incorrect and sinful by bearing false witness.
Now, to her/his discussion of the Republican Party platform:
Jesus’ very words are abused by planks of the platform, and the overall tone of it – a philosophy steeped in teachings of ANTI-CHRISITIAN/ANTI-CHRIST Ayn Rand, and other philosophers of what we know to be 100% selfism. It is clear from the very words of the book of Acts of the Apostles that the early Christians lived in a nearly-’socialist’ arrangement, selling their property, handing it over to the authority of leaders, to be distributed as any needed. It is also clear that all were asked to work and contribute to the good of all. The weak and vulnerable were to be cared for.
Ayn Rand said … and Republican platform enshrines – ‘the Weak SHOULD NOT be loved’. This is exactly opposite Jesus teaching and example, which is that the Weak should be Cared for by All. And, remember that Jesus daily healed the sick. So, by Jesus’ example, we know that healing the sick is one of the most important daily things that Christians should be doing.
Republicans have explicitly said that they are not concerned with the weak, or healing the sick – not the privileged sick – but all the sick. Not an economy that serves the privileged first or most, – but serves the weak first and most.
So, it is clear that many Republicans, like many Democrats, and others, have decided to worship some idol of Consumerism/Selfish Acquisition and Selfish Protection rather than Jesus Christ. And, since Violence comes along Selfishism, it is clear that many have decided to practice Violence, in direct contradiction to Jesus’ example. Abortion is ending a life without care to preserve it. But so is poverty. So is lack of access to health care. So is killing or maiming to protect property. So is racism. So is war. Etc
No Party, or Church, can claim to love life, but only the life of the unborn, and not the lives of all, and remain true to Jesus teaching and example.
