The late Dr. Jerry Falwell’s stated mission for The Moral Majority was to “reverse the politicization of immorality in America.” The Liberty Counsel family of ministries has long called Americans to “Pray and Vote.” Now, in 2012, Dr. Billy Graham is asking America’s people of faith to “Vote Biblical Values.”
These election-time messages were all designed to achieve the same objective – to take a step toward the restoration of America’s moral foundations. That’s why Liberty Counsel wholeheartedly supports Billy Graham’s call to Bible-based action. Together, we are working to “Take Back America in 2012.”
Please see my important message below about this critical initiative. America’s future depends upon it! – Mat.
Conservatives,
Dr. Jerry Falwell wrote…
“It has become evident that we have neglected to maintain constant vigil over our religious freedoms. The withdrawal of faith-based citizens from the public square has emboldened the forces of darkness to declare that our values are no longer welcome.
Now we face a tough fight to change the direction of our nation while we have the opportunity to do so. America has forgotten its biblical roots.”
Dr. Falwell was well known for his Bible-based civic activism, especially as it was expressed through The Moral Majority. Dr. Billy Graham, on the other hand, has largely avoided political statements throughout his career and calling as a Christian evangelist. Although his current message is politically neutral, it is an unprecedented call to political action from the world’s best-known evangelist. His ad says…
“The legacy we leave behind for our children, grandchildren, and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last.
I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6th, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.”
Rev. Graham is running full-page advertisements in a number of newspapers across the country, urging citizens to vote for candidates that support Israel and the biblical values of life, natural marriage, and religious liberty.
++Dr. Graham, Dr. Falwell, and all of us at Liberty Counsel have correctly observed that there is an ongoing struggle for the soul of America.
Billy Graham has publically recognized how critical this election is for our cherished biblical values of life, marriage, and religious liberty. He is urging people to vote in support of these values.
Dr. Graham has raised his prophetic voice in the way any Christian preacher should when biblical and moral values are placed in severe jeopardy by politicians.
In turn, we, as Christian citizens, must rise up – and show up at the polls – to vote for candidates who most closely reflect our own biblical values.
That’s why I am calling on every friend of Liberty Counsel to stand with us in support of Dr. Billy Graham’s initiative and “Pledge to Vote Biblical Values.”
Please take a moment to sign our brief but powerful “Pledge to Vote Biblical Values!” This is a pledge you freely make to our beloved nation and to the Body of Christ in America.
We will deliver the signed pledges to Billy Graham as encouragement to him in his call, and make note of this campaign through our powerful media outreach. Forward this email with your friends and get them involved, too!

The Bible identified certain moral issues long before America came into existence. Our nation was founded upon Christian principles of morality and virtue. These great principles were not separated from religion. Rather, they were inspired and undergirded by religion.
As citizens of this great nation, we are afforded the right to choose the candidates (executive and representative) who best reflect the vision we hold for a constitutionally-based government and who most closely embrace the core (biblical) values that have shaped our nation from its foundation.
Please join us in this campaign to get as many citizens as possible to “Pledge to Vote Biblical Values!”

I also encourage you to share this information on your social networking pages. As always, please pray for our nation and that God will use our collaborative efforts to “Take Back America in 2012!”
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Founder and President

P.S. Our country has lost its moral compass. With each passing year, we are becoming more and more adverse to the biblical principles upon which we were founded. Please join us in our support of Dr. Graham’s critical initiative and “Pledge to Vote Biblical Values.” We cannot be apathetic in this momentous national election!
