  Please pray and vote today if you are in California and other states. It is our duty as citizens of this country to do our part. Continue to pray and mobilize for this election after Super Tuesday's primaries. Read below...
  
  I also want to exhort and challenge each of you to vote for candidates who are "pro-life" as I have made a covenant never to vote for a potential president who is pro choice and does not hold to Biblical values of righteousness and justice for unborn, the poor, widow and orphan.
  
  As of now, Mike Huckabee is the only candidate who holds clearly to Biblical values and principles consistently. May God raise up and put into place His chosen candidate for this country. Please read the two emails below from my friends...
  
  For His namesake,
  Jaeson Ma

  Dear friend,

  I write with an urgent plea: to vote in your primary for Mike Huckabee. Their may be gray areas that scrīpture does not clearly define, but there are those that are clearly black and white. LIFE is the biggest issue our nation is facing because the trampling of it results in bloodshed. Every day 4,500 American children are killed in the womb- and that isn't even touching RU-486. Of all the presidential candidates, Huckabee is the only one with a voting record that lines up with scrīpture. Huckabee also supports the marriage amendment.

  God would have to break his Word to let the destruction of human life in it's most vulnerable stages go on unaccounted for without His intervention. Either you and I must work with God to do everything Christianly possible to make it stop, or, we fight against God through our silence or our misplaced voting. In the days of slavery the church was experiencing a massive, spiritual awakening, yet half the church refused to call slavery sin and end it. War was the result. John Adams saw it coming 30 years ahead of time and fought for change, but wrote in his journal that if it took a war amongst the states to eradicate slavery, so great would be the outcome that he could not say it should not come. And the church had all those years... but God did end it. It must have been heartbreaking for Him to end it through war when he sent so many preachers of righteousness and touched so many lives with His Spirit and revival- yet too many remained hardened and did not end slavery. Abortion has been legalized in our nation for 35 long years as of January 22^nd. God has given us so much time. Let's not waste another moment!

  Let's repent of our ungodly thinking and align oursleves with God's desire for JUSTICE in our nation. Many of us (75,000) went to The Call Nashville on 7.7.07 to divorce the spirit of Baal (which in ancient times involved child sacrifice for the purpose of economic gain). Let's not remarry that spirit by sacrificing the most pro-life candidate for the sake of our opinion on another candidate's economic plan. Truly, as scrīpture says, a nation suffers when the wicked are in power but righteous leaders results in the nation being blessed. Let's lean on God, trusting His ways which are higher than ours, for all things- including the economy and all the other issues we care about. I humbly submit to you that to not vote when you are of voting age, or, to put money (the economy) or any other lesser issue above the ending of the spilling of innocent blood is sin. Psalms 2:10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. In a democracy the way we warn our "kings" and present day rulers is through our vote. Have you been warning them to end the bloodshed? Please do it today.

  What an amazing opportunity God has given us that our voices and votes will write the future! I know what mine is writing in regard to the unborn in the light of both this present time and eternity. What will you write, and what will heaven say? Make it matter in eternity. Make it matter for 50 million children who are already gone- our sisters, brothers, sons and daughters. Yes, there are many issues of injustice facing our nation- but only one, abortion, is resulting in daily bloodshed through legal protection Remember the children tomorrow as you decide whether or not to vote- and who to vote for. We must end this.

  Proverbs 31:8

  8 Open your mouth for the speechless,
  In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
  9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
  And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

  In Love,

  April Brown

  Christian votes made the difference in 2002 and 2004 with an increase in Christian voters of 93% over 2000 (28.9 million in 2004 vs, 15 million in 2000). Over those two elections, 15 of the 19 freshman senators have been pro-life, two conservative Supreme Court Justices have been appointed who have already had an impact on the number of Biblical and pro-family issues.
  

  In 2006 Christian voter turnout plummeted by 30% and the result was clearly visible. Of 54 freshmen elected to the House only 17 were pro-life. Of the 10 freshmen elected to the Senate only 1 was pro-life. The 2006 Congress has been active in promoting the homosexual agenda through the onerous hate-crime bill.
  
  The Christian voice has effectively been silenced but we can't let this continue. We can't take God out of politics. Our freedom is at stake. Let's not let discouragement keep us from voting our conscience. Let's not play defense by voting for a candidate who we believe may be better able to defeat the other party in the general election.
  
  As Christians we are the moral conscience of this country and lawlessness is rampant. Please join me in voting for Mike Huckabee for President on Tuesday. Having a righteous President is a start in taking back our land.
