Colorado Governor Appeals Court Ruling that Struck Down Prayer Proclamations
Posted by The Congressional Prayer Caucus | July 05, 2012

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has asked the Colorado Supreme Court to reverse a lower court ruling that struck down annual Colorado Day of Prayer proclamations as a violation of the state’s constitution.  The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed the lawsuit against the annual prayer proclamations, asserting that they favor religion over non-religion.  Gov. Hickenlooper’s decision to appeal the decision came after Rep. Doug Lamborn, a Member of the Prayer Caucus, led fellow Members in sending a letter urging that the annual prayer proclamations be defended. 

The petition for review notes that the proclamations being challenged “recognize[e] the National Day of Prayer, an event observed by the federal government and by private organizations in all 50 states—and one that is rooted in more than two centuries of our nation’s history.”  Members of the Prayer Caucus have consistently defended the National Day of Prayer, and will continue opposing challenges to this time-honored practice.

    Behold he cometh with CLOUDS; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Now let me ask you, are ALL the kindreds of the earth WAILING yet because of him? One thing for sure--I have been in the belly of the wail long enough. I must now go and do what GOD TOLD ME TO DO. To wail means to grieve or protest loudly and bitterly. Its a loud, bitter protest. Maybe we ought to go back and read the story of Jona and the Whale. Why did the whale swallow him up? The CLOUDS are forming people. GODS REIGN IS COMMING. Hey sometimes HAIL comes with the rain. Get ready for the HAIL STORM! It's comming too. So people let us GET ON FIRE FOR THE LORD. Lets get these FIRE and BRIMSTONE REVIVALS started. What-- do you not know the meaning to the word resurrection? It means REVIVAL!! Let us get these Holy Ghost Revivals started so we can see that the DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE!

    Let us not forget that the Book of Revelelations is the LAST chapter in the Bible. I am sure that I am in the last chapter of my life. Revelations means a DRASTIC DISCLOSURE. Do you all hear the SOUND of the trumpet yet? I bet you all are visioning a musical instrument in your heads--WRONG! I was surprised to turn on my internet yesterday and see Congressman Barney Franks Gay Marriage. Now lets see-what was the first State to legalize GAY MARRIAGE? Well now let us lay our cards on the table. Let us rightly divide this out. His state --the FIRST STATE --legalized GAY MARRIAGE. But our Federal government says it is unconstitutional so NOW we have to TRUMP--ET. He made his choice and he has now broken his oath of office to try to protect our Supreme Laws of our land. He is not trying to protect the Marriage between one woman and one man as being the SUPREME LAW OF OUR LAND at the moment. He has broken his OATH OF OFFICE! Now it is time to remove him from office. He should have waited until this law was federally changed. So I believe that he should be removed from office because he thinks that he is above the LAW. We must TRUMP--IT NOW Congress. He wants to be a public example for gay marriage--thats fine. He is a FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE that is going against the laws of our land.. Did he not take an oath of office to protect our Supreme Laws of our LAND? Now is the time to play your cards right. Marriage between one man and one woman IS the Supreme Law of our LAND at the moment. Gee--now we are getting the musical instruments for our MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB! Are you all still looking for the HARP?
