Jerry Falwell's 'Moral Majority' is being revived
Edited on Sat Nov-13-04 01:09 AM by ck4829
Jerry Falwell announced today the formation of The Faith and Values Coalition, a national organization designed to maintain the national momentum gained through "values voters" who swept President Bush back into office on November 2.

"Following the sweeping re-election of President Bush and a new generation of conservative lawmakers nationwide, a new organization, Faith and Values Coalition (TFVC), has been launched," said Falwell from his headquarters in Lynchburg, Virginia. "The group's central premise is to utilize the momentum of the November 2 elections to maintain an evangelical revolution of voters who will continue to go to the polls to 'vote Christian.' Essentially, TFVC is a 21st century resurrection of the Moral Majority."

Falwell noted that, at age 71, he was "committing to a four-year stint as national chairman of The Faith and Values Coalition."
He announced that he was being joined in this effort by seasoned leaders. Mathew Staver, founder, president and general counsel of the Orlando, Florida-based Liberty Counsel, will serve as vice-chairman. Falwell's son, Jonathan Falwell, will serve as executive director. Additionally, renowned author and theologian Dr. Tim LaHaye will serve as the Coalition's board chairman.

"One of our primary commitments is to help make President Bush's second term the most successful in American history," Dr. Falwell said. "He will certainly need the consistent prayer and support of the evangelical community as he continues to spearhead the international war on terror and the effort to safeguard America."

3. His problem is people are always just people.
I will say that every thing seems to be right out in the open so it will just go under ground where it has usually been. Or for a few hundred years.Which is best I am not sure. I grew up with the Blue Laws and Churches were filled, and papers did not put in so many things about sex but you could find those papers and all went on but it was sort of not talked about . One thing I can bet on and win. Businesses will not be shut on Sunday.People must have freedom to spend money at all times.
