Dear friend,   

This nation has seen great leaders rise up in times of crisis. Presidents such as: Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan have led our nation and stood for freedom and justice. At first glance, when one looks around today, it seems that there are no leaders who follow in the footsteps of those great presidents, but there is a voice that many have tried to silence. Dr. Alan Keyes is that voice. He is the only man, who has the courage to boldly proclaim and defend the principles upon which this nation was founded. 
   
President Washington warned of the dangers that would come from partisan politics, and we have seen the devastation those divisions have brought; but now the party lines have seemed to blur. The Republican Party, though once a strong defender of conservative values, has ever so slowly given in to the liberalism and socialistic policies that it once fought against. We now have not two parties, but an oligarchy - two sides of the same coin. We no longer have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; but a government of, by, and for the powerful few. Conservative Christians must unite together under God and let our voices ring out against this tyranny. We must choose, as our collective voice, Dr. Alan Keyes. He is the only one who has the courage and the credentials to return this nation to the providence and protection of almighty God. Please sign this petition to have Alan Keyes listed as an independent candidate for President this November. Additionally, please join us and sign the Pledge for America's Revival, so that we may begin returning this nation to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Continue reading below, and you will see why we need Alan Keyes for President. I have also attached a link to a more in-depth article which explains why Alan is better than ANY other candidate available. If you want to see America return to the principles it was founded upon, please resend or forward this to everyone you can think of who will stand with us.

Dr. Alan Keyes is ...

Pro-Life

On abortion

"The Declaration of Independence states plainly that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with our basic human rights. But if human beings can decide who is human and who is not, the doctrine of God-given rights is utterly corrupted. For these & similar reasons, abortion must be understood as the unjust taking of a human life, and a breach of the fundamental principles of our public moral creed. Some people talk about 'viability' as a test to determine which human offspring have rights that we must respect, and which do not. But 'might does not make right.' So the mere fact that the person in the womb is wholly in its mother's physical power and completely dependent upon her for sustenance gives her no right whatsoever with respect to its life - since the mere possession of physical power can never confer such a right. Therefore, medical procedures resulting in the death of the unborn child, except as an unintended consequence of efforts to save the mother's physical life, are impermissible."

On stem-cell research

"No medical advance, and certainly no material profit, justifies denying the claim to humanity of the embryonic human person. Those who try to justify it are driven from one tortured rationalization to another, none addressing the real issue. Being undeveloped, unconscious, unattractive, small, or unwanted - these are not reasons that we accept in any other context for failing to respect the wholeness of moral worth that every human being has from his Creator."

On euthanasia

"As for the so-called 'right to suicide' and related practices such as euthanasia: whatever emotional arguments we make on their behalf, they represent a violation of the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Our rights, including the right to life, are unalienable. If we kill ourselves or consent to allow another to do so, we both destroy and surrender our right to life. We act unjustly. We usurp the power that belongs solely to the Creator, and deny the basis of our claim to human rights."

Pro-Family

On traditional marriage

"Marriage is the God-ordained covenant between one woman and one man that provides the essential societal support for families. As we look at attempts to change that definition, we need to be very, very clear that it's not a question of being against individuals, per se. It's a question of looking at traditional marriage and what it requires, and saying we cannot allow, in principle, an understanding of marriage that excludes procreation."

On school choice

"I strongly favor school choice approaches that empower parents to take control of their children's education, in accordance with the parents' faith and values. We not only need prayer in schools, we need schools that are in the hands of people who pray. Above all, we must break the government monopoly on public education."

On pornography

"...we've become a fertile field, a fertile ground, for an understanding of human sexuality that destroys the very possibility of family life. That means that, in effect, the war against pornography is a war against that mentality which is creating the fertile ground for the whole crisis of the family, which in the end is the crisis of our whole society."

On sex education

"Sex education is, as a rule, the private responsibility of parents. The government should not usurp this role. Where parents choose to encourage school-based instruction, I strongly support abstinence-based approaches for young adults."

Pro-Economy

On taxes

"The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 85 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise, and tariff taxes were allowed. We need to return to the Constitution of economic liberty that our Founders intended to be a permanent bulwark of our political liberty. The income tax in effect makes us vassals of the government - the politicians decide how much income we can keep. No mere 'reform' of this slave tax, such as flattening the rate, can correct its fundamental denial of control over our own money. Only the abolition of the income tax will restore the basic American principle that our income is both our own money and our own private business - not the government's."

On fair trade

"American 'free trade' policy in recent years has increasingly involved grants of excessive authority to international organizations of questionable political legitimacy. The GATT/WTO agreement was a big mistake. The World Trade Organization undermines America's sovereign international economic interests ... I believe we need to move away from negotiating multinational trade agreements, and ought to focus instead on cutting better deals by bargaining one-on-one with individual countries. I also believe we should impose tariffs on countries that undercut American farmers and manufacturers with cheap products."

Pro-Security

On border control

"The first prerequisite, therefore, of any effective immigration policy is to regain full control of the borders of the United States. Proposed legislation in Congress falls far short of what is needed to achieve this goal. Until our political leaders put in place the tools and forces needed to control our borders, responsible and moral Americans should oppose any measures that would signal our acceptance of the de facto colonization of our country. You can't have freedom in principle if you won't defend it in fact! And if we let our borders collapse, the facts that support our freedom will be gone, and you know it."

On the right to bear arms

"The right to keep and bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights so that when, by a long train of abuses, government evinces a methodical design upon our natural rights, we will have the means to protect and recover those rights. In fact, if we make the judgment that our rights are being systematically violated, we have not merely the right, but the duty, to resist and overthrow the power responsible. That duty requires that we maintain the material capacity to resist tyranny, if necessary - something that is very difficult to do if the government has all the weapons. A strong case can be made, therefore, that it is a fundamental DUTY of the free citizen to keep and bear arms."

On the war on terror

"Some people say that the war on terror is an issue, and I say, 'What issue?' We have people wanting to kill us - this is not an abstraction, it is not a joke, and if we don't defend ourselves against them, they will kill us. This is not an issue, this is not an option, it is a reality - and we either deal with it or we die. 'What do you do about the war on terror' is like asking, 'Do you want to die?' No, we don't - therefore we must defend ourselves against this threat, and we have no option and no choice. The issue is how are we going to fight it most effectively, how are we going to make sure we go after the terrorists and pre-empt their violence and destroy them before they destroy us?"

Pro-Sovereignty

On court rulings

"I think it's time for all people of faith and belief to wake up. What the judges have been doing is exactly the opposite of what the Constitution says...Instead of living in a society where the sovereignty of the people is based upon our acknowledgment of the authority of God, we now live in a society where the authority of God has been denied, where the sovereignty of the people is usurped, and where the Constitution of the United States is now a sham, imposed upon us by the judges and by unscrupulous money and special interests in order to remove the people from their rightful place, and undermine - among other things - both their courage and their capacity for freedom."

On immigration

"Our country's immigration policy should encourage legal immigration to be maintained, and illegal immigration to be curtailed. The policy should be enforced through existing laws. It's a travesty when those who have abided by the law and become citizens through the proper means are considered no different than those who have not. If we start extending all the privileges of life and citizenship to people who are not citizens and who are not here legally, then we're breaking down our own laws."

On religious freedom

"The 'separation of church and state' doctrine is a misinterpretation of the Constitution. The First Amendment prohibition of established religion aims at forbidding all government-sponsored coercion of religious conscience. It does not forbid all religious influence upon politics or society ... I would do everything in my power, through public discourse and persuasion, by proposing legislation, and by careful scrutiny of the candidates for judicial appointments, to turn the tide against constitutional rulings that undermine religious freedom."
