My Pro-Life Choice for President

• "I’ll stop the illegal immigrant invasion within a month of taking office by using the overwhelming force of our military to secure the border."
• "Liberals insult American workers saying we won’t do certain jobs. That’s odd. I’ve worked a lot of those jobs, myself, and was happy to have the work."
• "Our rules of engagement make it nearly impossible for our soldiers to fight. ... All that’s going to change. We’re going to completely win this war [on terror] within my first term in office. "
• "Even though our Declaration insures our God-given inalienable right to life, it is obvious we need a Human Life Amendment in the Constitution. I will nominate only pro-life judges and we’ll need to elect a pro-life Senate to ratify those nominees, but political power and Supreme Court
• Justices come and go. The Constitution is much harder to change. Therefore, my long-term commitment is to an amendment. "
• "In the meantime, as soon as I take office I’ll turn loose the full weight of the federal bureaucracies against all those who take innocent life. I’ll direct OSHA, the FBI, the EPA, and any other agency I can think of to inhibit, regulate, and burden the abortion industry."
• "Hard-working Americans need more than tax reform, we need a tax revolt. I will support any initiative that eliminates the IRS and repeals the 16th Amendment."
• "I will direct the EPA to back off their absurd number of gasoline formulation requirements and let us immediately drill for oil and build new refineries and nuclear and coal plants."
• "Anyone who can believe the man-made global warming hoax probably deserves to be so snookered. "
• "There is hope for homosexuals. I don’t believe God made them that way or that they have to stay that way. ... Many have already come out of their darkness and back into the mainstream; you can, too. There is hope for us all in Jesus. "

Does that sound like any Presidential candidate you ever heard? If you heard of a candidate for President who said these things, would you support him?

Now you have. These statements come from the website of emerging Republican Presidential candidate Wayne Wilson.

So, who is Wayne Wilson? No, he's not a governor from a liberal state trying to convince us he was a conservative all along. He's not a mayor from a liberal city trying to convince us he's the only candidate who can beat someone even further left. He's not a multi-term senator displaying
his aptitude for blowing with the winds of politics.

He's never held political office. He's not even a lawyer.

He's a middle-class, middle-America conservative Christian who's worked several different jobs from construction to warehouse management to Christian school principal to truck driver.

You will, I'm sure, judge him by the policies he articulates and the way he handles himself in the upcoming months -- just like any other candidate. But if I had time, I could tell you much more about Wayne Wilson.

I could tell you of the time, over the years, put into pro-life organizations; Of collections of children's clothes taken to help a co-worker who had lost his job; Of jobs quit over principle; Of years of preaching in nursing homes; Of conversations with wayward young people, trying to get them to do right.

I could tell you about a life of Christian consistency that stands up to the scrutiny of those closest to him, because Wayne Wilson is my father.

If one thing about my father stands out, it is his strength. He could always afford to do right, without apparent regard for the consequences. And when the rest of us were not sure what was right, he could usually see it very clearly. I know now that is because he fears the Lord, and as he explained in Sunday School a few weeks ago, a person who truly fears the Lord will be absolutely fearless toward all others.

When choosing a President, we need a man who fears the Lord more than any other qualification. The woman seeking that office clearly does not, and neither do most of the men.

By now you've thought about the political likelihood of electing someone who doesn't already hold high public office. One of my friends already cited the proverbial "snowball's chance". But another of my friends several weeks back, when asked about a choice for 2008 said, "Can we throw the current bunch of clowns out and start over?" We can if we will step away from political calculations of probability and into the closet of prayer.

I ask you then:

1. Begin praying that God will give us a President who fears Him.
2. Read Wayne's positions on the issues and see whether this is a man you could support.
3. Go back to prayer and ask God what He would have do coming up to the primaries next year.
4. Sign up for Wayne's newsletter and, if God lays it on your heart, help out financially .
5. On your own website or blog, add a link back to the website.
   
6. Keep praying for a President who fears God. Coming into this election, this is the most important thing we can do.
