This is in response to being politically involved and voter guides.

My husband is heavily involved in politics.  In fact, he is campaign
manager for Congressman Hostettler from the great State of Indiana and
when he is not running his campaign he is his deputy district
director. 

I was never been involved in politics until 2 years ago when (we
feel) the Lord directed John Hostettler our way.  I will admit that I
was politically ignorant.  To say that we did not run into opposition
within the Apostolic ranks would be a lie.  But I have found that if I
do not tell people what is going on in our country I am letting them
and myself down.  I never realized the ramifications of Bills and
Amendments that can effect not only my personal life but also my
spiritual life.  

I feel we as Christians have to stand up and not be ashamed of what is
right.  My personal feeling is that you cannot vote for someone who
feels that abortion and also the partial-birth abortion is acceptable.
 I have never saw such grotesque pictures as when I saw what happens
to an innocent baby during the partial abortion process.  I think God
is going to hold us accountable for not standing up for what is right.
 I personally think it would be great for every elected official to be
Holy Ghost filled.  Wouldn't that turn our Country around?

Do not let people try and silence you with threats by saying that you
cannot use voter guides, etc.  I know for a fact that the Christian
Coalition does not endorse any candidates.  They give you the facts of
where the candidates stand.  It is up to you to make the right choice.
