FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
John
Stephenson for U.S. Senator for
Issue One:
Abortion
Shortly, I
will be posting on our developing websites, my position statements with regard
to several pressing issues confronting our nation and the citizens of
Abortion and Our Moral
Compass:
Our nation and our
Commonwealth will continue to be “plagued with ills” unless we first stop the
atrocity of abortion and the infanticide that occurs daily, permitted “by
law”. Historically, nations that walked
away from God and behaved godlessly would soon discover that God would remove
Himself from that nation. Is that fact any different today? No. How can God
bless a nation who is behaving in ways that are against His will? Not only will
God not bless the nation, He cannot bless a nation who blatantly commits
such heinous crimes. In fact, according to Deuteronomy 28, God makes it very
clear that if a nation keeps God’s commands, God in turn will bless that
nation. Deut. 28: 1-3 says, “...if you
will diligently obey the Lord your God being careful to do all His
commandments...the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the
earth..Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed
shall you be in the country.” In turn, if a nation disobeys God commands,
“...if you will not obey the Lord your
God, observe His commandments… all these curses shall come upon you and
overtake you…” vs. 15-68. There are fifty three verses of consequences for
being out of God’s will. I would encourage everyone to read the entire chapter
of Deuteronomy 28. These are not my words, these are God’s words and whether
our nation wants to believe in God or not, or “choose” to believe in His
commands or not, does not change the truth that God is and He does. We will not
be a great nation again unless God is at the helm again.
Consider the circumstances
of our nation today. Not one politician or political party can singularly be
blamed for the current condition of our nation. Our nation “collectively” is responsible.
Every citizen who “chooses” not to believe God and His commands is responsible.
Tragically, abortion has been made law, but by man, a law that completely
contradicts the law of God, “You shall
not murder”. Deut. 5:17. As a nation, we must recognize abortion for what
it is, the murder of innocent lives. The framers of
our Constitution were more in touch with the will God then this nation as a
whole is today. Many God-fearing groups continue to fight vigorously against a
current that cannot be stopped, unless we turn this nation around and seek
God’s face. The fact that centuries have come and gone since we have became
“one nation under God” does not remove the reality that God does not change, nor His will.
God will bless our nation again. He can bring healing and will bring
“healing” to our land IF we seek His face and stop the atrocities of
abortion. God can and He will use elected officials to bring
real solutions, not perpetual sound bytes, not fruitless efforts and not
disharmony among the political parties. Our nation, our citizens must
begin to see this, and NOW.
Approximately 250,000
people die each day in the world. According to Right to Life statistics, “over
4,000 of those deaths are by abortion. That is one and half million people each
year in the
It has become abundantly
clear that the very fabric of our moral system has been slowly and deliberately
excised from our schools, text books, and government facilities while we, the
citizens, have stood, by since the mid-1970’s, and watched a rebellious
minority bring our democracy into this destructive state and condition,
completely out of God’s will. We, the majority of our citizens, can be compared
to a frog that has been slowly cooked. It has been told that if one places a
frog in boiling water it will naturally jump out. However, if a frog is placed
in cool water and the water is gradually heated to boiling, the frog will sit
there until he is “cooked”. I am telling you, that God is telling me, and many
other Christians, that we must reach the hearts of our fellow citizens and our
government leaders and demand that they obey God’s laws.
Our children and
grandchildren are bombarded with pornography, filth and degradation under the
protection of “free speech”. At the same time we have witnessed prayer being
removed from our schools, the Ten Commandments and the Christian history of our
nation being challenged. Some of the original evils that God warns us to be
aware of in our human nature are greed, envy, and covetousness. We have allowed
ourselves to be exploited to the point where our institutions of trust have
become untrustworthy.
If elected, I want to work with
President Obama to establish regulations to protect consumers, safeguards to
our economy and provide “meaningful” accountability for our governmental
systems and institutions regulated by government. As a real estate broker of
thirty plus years and a former chairman of a teacher’s credit union, I can
bring expertise to the regulatory system. I have solicited no organizations or
corporations for contributions. Therefore, I can and will be the voice for the
“everyday” man and woman in
