I
Want You to Partner With Me To Save America
I have a passion to return
our republic to the conservative principles we hold so dear. I firmly
believe that we must be engaged in the civic arena, fighting for the principles
that made our country great and work toward electing individuals who not only
espouse these values but live them in their own lives. I believe all the
issues we face in our country ultimately are moral issues; therefore we must
elect individuals who are solid social conservatives, who share our moral
values.
Through a series of events
in the last 18 months, God has opened doors that I personally could not have
orchestrated if I had wanted to. I can see God’s hand at every step, and
it has been an amazing journey.
I
had the privilege of meeting Senator Rick Santorum at the
Values
Voter Summit in Washington DC in October 2011.
Allow me to share some
highlights of the last 18 months:
- I began by participating in Tea Party events, attending
a few conferences and listening to CD lectures to educate myself in issues
and political strategies. Thus my networking began!
- In the fall of 2010, 13 months before the 2011
election, I was asked to serve in the “Kitchen Cabinet” of the Bryce Reeves for State Senate Campaign.
Bryce is a solid social conservative who in 2011 defeated 28 year
incumbent Democratic State Senator, Edd Houck and became the 20th
Republican State Senator, which with a Republican Lt. Governor gave
the Republicans control of the Virginia Senate, a situation that had only
existed 8 of the previous 129 years!

The
Heritage Foundation in March 2011.
- In May 2011 I was asked to serve as the Membership
Coordinator of The Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation, which is a
coalition of 40 groups across the state. This is an elected
position, one that I was re-elected to serve in 2012.
- In June 2011 I was asked to serve on The Steering
Committee of a new organization, The Sharia Awareness Action Network, a
group that is dedicated to educating American Citizens on the threat of
Sharia Law.
- In June 2011 I was asked to serve as a State Coordinator
for the National Tea Party Patriots Organization.
- During the November 2011 election season I helped in a
couple of local county election races.
- The contacts I have made have given me the opportunity
to meet policy experts, elected officials and grassroots activists
throughout our republic, and even speak in situations I never could have
planned, one example is below:
A New Opportunity:
One of the men I have been
blessed to get to know in the last couple years is William J. Murray. There is a lot I
could write about Bill. For a history of his life, I would encourage you
to read the link that is attached to his name, and consider getting his
autobiography which is referenced there. The 30 year anniversary edition
was just republished.
Since becoming a believer,
Bill founded The Religious Freedom Coalition (RFC) which
works to promote religious freedom around the world. In addition to being
Chairman of RFC and engaged in several other ministries, Bill also founded and
is Chairman of The Government is Not God Political Action
Committee (GING-PAC), the oldest social conservative PAC.
Founded in 1992, the
purpose of The Government is Not God Political Action
Committee (GING-PAC) is to help elect social conservatives to Federal
Office. Some of the most prominent races GING-PAC has worked on are The
Mike Huckabee for President Campaign in 2008, The Rick Santorum for President
Campaign in 2012, as well as playing key a key role in electing FL Congressman
Allen West, FL Senator Marco Rubio, MN Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, SC
Senator Jim DeMint and many, many others.
Bill has offered me the
opportunity to become the Executive Director of GING-PAC, agreeing to mentor me
for a period of time, providing me the opportunity to build GING-PAC into
whatever I am capable of. In addition to working to elect solid social
conservatives, a key benefit is I will have the opportunity to mentor under a
Godly man, be shown the ropes of this important arena of political activity, as
well as meet the contacts he has established in over three decades of working
on Capitol Hill.
Until now, GING-PAC has
been run through Bill’s volunteer efforts; however now he needs to focus his
energies on the ministry of The Religious Freedom Coalition. Therefore, $ 50,000 must be
raised to accomplish three immediate, specific tasks:
- First, immediately start financially supporting 2012
candidates who share our values. Men and women like Allen West of
Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas, Michelle Bachman of Minnesota and Steve King
of Iowa to mention just a few.
- Second, to accomplish GING-PAC’s first direct mail
campaign since my becoming Executive Director.
- Finally, to pay me a salary, enabling me to invest more
time in this important work.
As I mentioned above, I
believe that all the issues we face as a republic lead back to moral issues,
and there are very few PAC’s addressing this leg of the conservative
stool. As a Reagan Conservative, I believe all three legs of the stool
are important: Fiscal, Defense and Social – but without strong moral values, the other two
will crumble.

I Am Looking for
a Few Key Partners
This is important
work I am asking you to partner in.
I want to invest my time, my talent and my treasure to this work. We are
losing our freedoms on a daily basis, and I believe we each need to invest in
electing individuals who share our values. Some will contribute
time. Some will contribute talent. Some will contribute
treasure. Some will contribute all three, just like our founders.
In order for me to give more of my time and talent, I need individuals
like you who will give of their treasure.
As I mentioned, we need to
raise $ 50,000 to accomplish the goals above. Please consider being an
individual who gives at one of the following levels:
An Individual Contributing
Total at this Level
1
of 3 individuals give $ 5,000.00
= $
15,000.00
1
of 5 individuals give $ 2,500.00
= $
12,500.00
1
of 10 individuals give $ 1,000.00
= $
10,000.00
1
of 10 individuals give $ 500.00
= $
5,000.00
1
of 70 individuals give $ 250.00
=
$ 17,500.00
Please pray about what God
would have you do. Also, please pray for me and for GINGPAC as we engage
in the work God has called us to: electing men and women who represent our core
beliefs, in a
world that is increasingly hostile to those beliefs.
In closing, GING-PAC has
been a good steward of its resources during its 20 year history. I
guarantee GING-PAC will continue to be a good steward of all we are entrusted
with. Please click here to give online, or you

P.S. Three
Additional Points:
1.
Please think about your
sphere of influence, social conservatives who believe in this cause, who would
consider helping us in this important task. Please forward this letter on
to them. One of the questions I will ask you when I call is, do you know
of any Individuals who share our passion, who I could call and ask to
contribute to this very important effort.
