Register Your Friends to Vote

We’re looking at the home stretch now in this Supreme Court race, which means….it’s time for you to think about voter registration! If you have not registered to vote, you have until February 1st to register. Get your family members and friends to register as well, and while you’re at it, be sure to tell them about our candidacy!

Also, you will need to make sure your voting address is up-to-date. If you have moved within the county, you can update your address online here. However, if you have moved to a different county, you will need to re-register.

Walking in MLK’s footsteps

Under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., Christians were roused from lethargic slumber to protest the violation of one of our inalienable rights – that “all men are created equal.” Birmingham, Alabama, became the front lines of battle in the struggle. King was sent to jail and wrote one of the most profound letters in American history. Here is an excerpt I would like to share with you.

“I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

Was not Amos an extremist for justice: “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.” Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” Was not Martin Luther an extremist: “Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God.” And John Bunyan: “I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.” And Abraham Lincoln: “This nation cannot survive half slave and half free.”

And Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal . . .” So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?

In that dramatic scene on Calvary’s hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime–the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.”

Today, we face another civil rights crisis. This time it is the inalienable right of all men – including the unborn – to life, that is under assault. As Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., so eloquently stated, “How can the dream live as long as we kill our children?” Bound4Life is holding a prayer vigil and march on Martin Luther King day. You can find out more information at bound4life.com.

In addition, the Texas Rally for Life will be held at the Capitol building in Austin on January 23. It is vital that we show our legislators that the people of Texas still believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Please join us on the Capitol steps on January 23.

Thank you for your support. I hope to see you soon.

For freedom,
Rick
