& nbsp; &n bsp; We are currently in Columbus, Indiana. For the last several weeks we have been trying to solidify the Columbus base of Pence supporters. We are only focusing on college-age conservatives. We have been very successful thus far.
One big boost in our campaign was meeting the Myers’ family. They are a family of eight children. Their father is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Columbus. The oldest daughter works for a homeschool support center out of Chicago and is well connected with homeschool families throughout Indiana and Illinois. The Myers are all strong Christian conservatives who are well informed about politics. In fact their church has long been praying for political leaders while one daughter has specifically been praying for Mike Pence. We spoke at their church two Sundays ago and their entire congregation was excited about a Pence Presidency.
In addition, we also spoke at another small church north of Indianapolis. They too all loved Mike Pence and were excited about a Pence Presidency. One member has a son who will be attending Patrick Henry College in the fall and prayerfully he will be a big addition to our efforts. We also have a student on the team from Pensacola College in Florida, one of the most conservative institutions in America. We also just recently met a graduate from Hillsdale College in Michigan, which is a stalwart of conservative political thought and action. She is very excited about this national grassroots effort as she has already launched a facebook group at Hillsdale.
We also just recently went out to Washington, D.C. for the weekend. We were there for a few conferences. One conference was a Pro-Life event. We met many people who were very adamant about the Pro-Life issue and many knew of Mike Pence’s heroic efforts in this important battle, particularly the petition he started last summer during the Republican National Convention where he gathered 127 congressional signatures saying we need a true Christian Right to Life speaker during national primetime. Unfortunately, the GOP establishment were putting politicians who were not conservative and not articulating our conservative values, particularly the Pro-Life issue, during primetime.
One influential guy in particular began to choke on some crackers when he heard us ask him what he thought about Mike Pence. As he finally cleared his throat he began to get really excited, saying that Pence is his boy. Then we told him about Pence for 08, and he knew all about it and that we must continue to keep this information under the radar for the time being. So we picked up a few allies and friends of the movement this past weekend.
Please continue to pray for us and our efforts, that they may never be in vain.
