Your church can help stop the judicial filibusters in the Senate. Hundreds of churches are signing up to air a special 90-minute simulcast featuring three prominent conservative leaders: Focus on the Family Action Chairman Dr. James Dobson; FRC Action President Tony Perkins and Dr. Al Mohler.
"Justice Sunday" will occur April 24 — and your church can get on board to help stop judicial filibusters. The aim of the event is to return some justice to the judicial nomination process that has been hijacked by Democrats who have filibustered nominees with whom they have ideological differences. Perkins said failing to return the number of votes needed to confirm a nominee to a simple majority of 51 will have far-reaching consequences for President Bush.
"If this fails," he explained, "I am concerned that most of his pro-life, pro-family agenda will be thwarted by this radical minority in the United States Senate."
Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, agreed, saying this is really a battle against "black-robed tyranny."
"Everyone who's watching this process closely knows that it's the judges who really matter," he said. "Just think of the fact that a president — even if he wins two terms — is in office for only eight years, but these judges are in positions to affect the law and public policy for a lifetime."
Pastors, Mohler added, must get their churches involved in the political process.
"It's just extremely important that Christians understand that our political responsibility as citizens goes far beyond the voting booth," he said. "It has to do with seeing these issues through and nothing right now is more important than getting the right judges in place."
TAKE ACTION: You can sign your church up to be part of the simulcast online at the Family Research Council Web site. The site also lists radio stations that will be carrying the broadcast.
Churches can get the broadcast through SkyAngel satellite or via Webcast. It will be aired live from Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky., at 7 p.m. EDT Sunday.
