Huckabee Starting to Get Some "Big-Name" Christian Support

As a number of Christian leaders and conservative organizations began to pick sides (and James Dobson abstained from making an endorsement yet), I wondered, "Why are no Christians teaming up with Mike Huckabee?"

Well, finally, some are. Yesterday, Huckabee's website announced the formation of the "Faith and Values Coalition for Huckabee." This list of 30 Christian leaders includes such names as Michael Farris (Chair of Home School Legal Defense Association and Chancellor of Patrick Henry College), Randy Alcorn (Founder and Director of Eternal Perspective Ministries, best-selling author of 28 books, fiction and nonfiction), and Don Wildmon (Founder and Chairman of American Family Association).

Then, today, Huckabee announced the personal endorsement of Jerry Falwell, Jr..

This is a good start. Hopefully the momentum will continue.

We are in support of Huckabee. God bless us.

Understandably, there has been some confusion as to why I think we need a Christian President. I am not calling for a theocracy, and I am not calling for the advancement of the Kingdom of God through force. Follow these links to learn why you should want a Christian President.

What It Means to "Want a Christian President"

Some of you may be concerned that, by becoming a part of this effort, you would thereby concede the election to Hillary Clinton if Rudy Giulani or Mitt Romney were to receive the Republican nomination. That is not the case at all! You do not have to make any pledges for a specific candidate or against specific candidates. To join this effort is to pledge support to the effort and a desire for a Christian President. Joining is like you saying, "I do not want to vote for Rudy Giulani. I do not want to vote for Mitt Romney. And I want to act so that I am not eventually compelled to under the philosophy of picking the lesser of two evils."
In fact, you do not even have to disavow both Giulani and Romney. You can join whatever blogrolls you want to! Obviously, it is preferable that you go all out and dedicate yourself to this effort, but those who partially agree with this site's philosophy are welcomed to join alongside those who fully agree with it. Perhaps, at some point, you will realize the fullness of our perspective.

One last note: Although the focus of this blog seems to be the Republican front-runners, that is an illusion. We Want a Christian President... is also presently against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and all of the other Democratic presidential candidates who behave or believe in a non-Christian way.

8 Things YOU Can Do!!!

So you want a Christian President, but you don't know what to do besides waiting until next November and hoping that a viable option is present at that time. Never fear! Here are 8 things you can do to help a true (as close as we can tell) Christian candidate get nominated and elected:

1.) Pray: We can't do this by ourselves. It's as simple as that. We need the guidance, strength, support, and help of God to make it anywhere in this effort.

2.) Tell your friends and family: The key to influencing democratic elections is to influence lots of people. Get out your e-mail mailing list, bring this issue up in Sunday school, and do whatever else you can to spread the word to friends, family members, and acquaintances!

3.) Link this site in one (or more) of your blog post(s): An excellent way to popularize this site and effort is to mention it in one (or more) of your blog's posts.

4.) Put this site in your blogroll: After your posts with links to this site are old and mildewed, your blogroll is still at the top of your blog's page. This is a solid way to permanently publicize this site and effort.

5.) Join one of this site's blogrolls: You can join either the Americans for a Christian President blogroll or the Sites That Have Linked WWCP Without Officially Joining the Effort section.

6.) Volunteer to campaign for and/or contribute to a Christian candidate: A lot (if not most or all) of the Christian candidates are considered "second-tier." Thus, they'd truly appreciate any help and/or funds you could provide them.
Much work can be done without even leaving your home. For instance, phone calls can be made for a candidate; e-mails can be sent to friends, family, public figures, and organizations; and letters to editors of newspapers can be sent electronically.

7.) Register to Vote: I am a staunch advocate of the idea that one activist can have a far greater impact on an election than one vote. But that most certainly does not mean that you shouldn't vote, if you are legally able. Now is the time to make sure you are registered to vote.

8.) Contact Christian and conservative organizations and leaders supporting less-than-conservative-Christian candidates to politely and respectfully express your displeasure, disapproval, and disappointment over their choices in presidential candidates: To have the best chance at success, we must endeavor to try to convert and inform as many of those who believe differently than we do.

**If you are not a blogger, you may feel as though you can't contribute much. Don't feel that way! You can still do points 1, 2, 6, and 7! Plus, making a Blogger profile and creating a blog is easy! Create a blog just for this purpose! Go to Blogger's homepage, and they'll guide you through the process!

***Also, you may not consider your MySpace or Facebook profiles to be "blogs." But, they can work just fine. Link this site from your page, ask that the URL to your profile be linked from one or more of this WWCP's blogrolls, and contact your friends about this site.
