Summary: Congressman Trent Franks is our guest. He's on today to tell us about PreNDA- a bill that would protect unborn children from discrimination based on race or gender as it relates to an abortion. Sadly, many people use race or gender to decide whether they want to keep their child. Minorities face a disproportionate risk of being aborted, never having a chance to live their life, with nearly half of all black children being aborted before they are born. These statistics are staggering. This bill could help people to get the correct mindset as it relates to unborn children, and the people that they are.

Summary: Our guest today is General Jerry Boykin. Freedom of religion is under attack, not just through out country, but also in our military. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been working to stop expressions of religion by our military men and women. They are beginning to influence the attitudes of leaders in the military to a shocking extent. General Boykin was recently denied the opportunity to speak at West Point because of their influence, denying him the ability to share Biblical messages about God and his hand over our country. God has historically shown favor on our military men and women. What happens when we no longer look to him for their protection?

Summary: Tune in today to hear critical information about the current health care system and what we can do to protect the right of conscience that is being infringed upon. The government is requiring certain religious organizations to provide and perform contraceptive and abortion services against their conscience.

What is the proper role of the legislature and of the judiciary? We've got to remember the constitution as it was intended to be used. Study the operating manual and know what your country's government was intended to be used for. You'd never dream of letting your car fall apart out of neglect, so why would we let our country fall apart from not knowing how to use it properly?

Summary: There's been a rising number of evangelical leftists. We need to recognize biblical principles; there are things that are foundationally right and things that are foundationally wrong!

Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church, is our guest today. Pastor Garlow presents a crystal-clear perspective on this issue, and tells us exactly what we need to remain biblical in our foundation.

Summary: What is the scope of government? How big, or how small? How much money should the government spend? The principles for government are given in the Bible. The government isn't to be small, but it is to be limited. The people are to authorize government in its actions. David and Rick compare and contrast libertarians and conservatives. What are these differing views? Our nation is in need of a revolution, and that doesn't mean it needs to be overthrown; it means voting and preforming our civil duties. We need to bring a new energy and drive into guiding our country in the right direction.
