If I were Mitt Romney------The American people have lost confidence in the intelligence, and the integrity of our own political and religious leaders. Leaders who profess to have "deep and personal" faith, and then go out of their way everyday to prove this faith has no place or bearing in the practical decisions they make. When that confidence is lost, regaining it is difficult.  No one seems capable of taking the lead and rallying the moral people of our nation. I, Mitt Romney, am the man that can do that.
To me individual freedom of choice is a gift from our creator, a birthright of all humanity. How that freedom is used is a personnel choice. Freedom of choice carries a great assumption of risk, as bad decisions have negative consequences. 
We see the results almost daily as the lack of an individual moral code of ethics is creating another Sodom and Gomorra, right here in American where anything goes, where absolute or objective truth is denied outright. We seem to be a country controlled by people with no moral values. This lack of morality is destroying us from within and creating the biggest negative image for our nation abroad. It has been used as the rallying cry by Radical Islamic people for the call to jihad against the United States of America. We were once scene as a light upon a hill, a beacon welcoming the poor, the hungry and heavy laden. Today, we are scene as the great Satan.  The only question remaining is when we as a Christian Nation will start worshiping other gods and following their laws as the law based on the Christian Bible is dispatched in their favor. This is the world we live in. Why should you care about our ability to counter this kind of cultural onslaught?
If judges, politicians, business leaders, religious leaders (of which there are too many examples in the news everyday) or individuals do not have a moral basis upon which to make decisions, anything goes, the ultimate example being extramarital sex in the oval office. These bad moral decisions have brought suffering to many people, and even our entire nation.

Today, the challenge is to evaluate the moral positions of the decisions we make and the platforms upon which we stand. I will not be one to say that my religion will not have any basis on the decisions I make in running this great nation, I will not leave my morals at the door of the Oval Office. I think it is time for each and everyone of us to do a little national soul searching and understand where we stand morally as individuals and as a nation.

Look how far we have fallen in one generation 44+ years, since the legalization of abortion, when the loss of thousands of men and women in open battle for years to support our freedom is considered too much while in the same amount of time the sacrifice of millions of unborn babies for the preservation of a convenient lifestyle is totally acceptable. 

The decision to legalize abortion not only has divided the nation it has contributed directly to the major problems we face today. I find it amazing that the number of abortions closely corresponds to the number of illegal immigrants entering our country. Do we really need these foreign workers or do we just need to get our priorities right at home?


We are at war both on the open battle field and morally. Can we win these wars?

Which is greater the moral war or the military war?

Ask yourself as our early leaders did. Can any free democratic government be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of religion, constitutes no part of the policy or duty of the government? Can a free democratic society exist without teaching a religious moral or ethical basis for decision making to its children?

Morality cannot be established by the rule of law. Our legal structure, the Constitution of the United States of  America based on the Ten Commandments is the law of the land. It cannot exist in a void, it requires an underlying moral edifice as affirmed by the oath of office, and the assumption of risk without it nothing works; with it all is possible.

Tell me, you who want to be under the law only, do you not listen to the law? Pick one of the many volumes. You cannot be under the law, only in service to those who interpret the intent of the law. Having only the freedoms they, those in power, choose to allow.

As a nation we need to support freedom of religion and democracy world wide. Individual freedom is a powerful thing. We also need to teach moral responsibility on a world wide basis for against love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control there is no law.
What is your prayer for our nation today as we prepare to help win the moral battle and support our military? I offer the following as my prayer for today.
We acknowledge you Almighty God, asking forgiveness for our sins as a nation, we are grateful for our very existence; we humbly implore your protection and favor. "Hear, O our GOD, how we are despised! Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity."

Enlighten our eyes O Lord our God lest we sleep the sleep of death! Lest our enemies say they have overcome us, lest our adversaries rejoice when we are shaken, from within.

We have trusted you as a nation O Lord our God. Many of us continue to trust you even in these days of drunken jubilation, celebrating our many freedoms and position among the nations.

Forgive us our transgressions O Lord our God, for we have sinned against you. Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor we have failed.

We acknowledge with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God upon our nation. Especially the opportunity afforded our founders to peaceably establish our form of government and those allowing and providing for our safety and happiness through the course of our accession. We sing your praises once again Lord. For God has dealt bountifully with us.

Help us O Lord our God, as a nation to arise and build and bless You again. Help us return to teaching our children the Ten Commandments and the history of our country, including the events of 9/11. Help us be an example so that when people and nations despair in their trials, troubles and tribulations they will see the Grace of God shine on us, and seek to know Him themselves.

Let us pray as George Washington did with Thanksgiving in our heart "that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have show kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best." Given, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.
