Special Report From The Republican Convention Monday at the convention The political action committee of which I am chairman, Government Is Not God, co-sponsored a 1600 square foot suite at the New Yorker Hotel across the street from Our first event at our hospitality suite on Monday morning was a prayer meeting headed by William Federer, a godly man who is author of America’s God and Country and a candidate for the 3rd Congressional district in Also on Monday morning the premier of a new video documentary was shown in our suite. The producer, David Balsiger, answered media questions before the showing of George W. Bush, Faith in the White House. This video documentary, which is now available from the Religious Freedom Coalition, documents the deeply held faith of George W. Bush. This documentary has what could be considered private moments of faith the President has displayed. A brand new book, Thank You, President Bush, was also introduced at a news conference at our suite. Several of the co-authors of Thank You, President Bush were present including Steve Moore, President of the Club for Growth and Governor Mike Huckabee of A VERY INTERESTING SIDE STORY … A female reporter asked Steve Moore for an interview after he spoke. As they stepped outside, her photographer said to her, “You left your purse over in your chair.” To which the reporter responded, “Its OK, it’s a bunch of Republicans.” That says a lot. The schedule of our staff during the convention was so fast and furious that we were not able to get out of the New Yorker Hotel and into Tuesday at the Convention “For black people, the Democrat Party is a deception from Hell.” That was a comment from the first speaker Tuesday morning at the hospitality suite co-sponsored by Government Is Not God PAC in the New Yorker Hotel. The speaker was black theologian Wayne Perryman who has written a history of the Republican Party entitled, Unfounded Loyalty. How he came to write the history of the party and how he became a Republican is an interesting testimony. For years as a pastor he had advised blacks to vote Democrat. On one occasion a group of black parishioners asked him why blacks were supposed to vote Democrat and he could not answer. As he researched how to respond to them, he realized that the Democrat Party had a long history of racism and repression of blacks. That was replaced in recent years by a host of government giveaway programs that only served to destroy black families and contribute to social decline in black communities. One of the main reasons he gives for this is that social liberals tried to solve problems in a way that discounted and ignored biblical values. They disregarded the importance of God ordained family structure, and this led to great numbers of pregnancies outside marriage. They then tried to solve this problem with solutions based on humanist reasoning such as abortion and sex education divorced from any sense of morality. People depended more and more upon government instead of upon God, and problems in the inner city worsened. Perryman supports the Faith Based Initiative begun by President Bush. The Republican Party, Perryman found, has been for freedom and equality of individuals since before the election of Abraham Lincoln and continuing until today. A distorted version of history causes blacks to give the Democrats credit for giving them their civil rights, but in reality many more Republicans voted for civil rights legislation than did Democrats. Rev. Robert Schenk is the founder and President of Faith and Action which operates The Ten Commandments Project, a Before This afternoon a rousing Faith and Freedom rally was held in the main ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where Vice President Dick Cheney is staying. It took our staff nearly half an hour to clear security to participate in the rally with keynote speaker Senator Sam Brownback. Dr. Jerry Falwell and several other notable “religious right” leaders were present as well. Early in the evening Ambassador Alan Keyes, candidate for U.S. Senator from And finally at the convention itself, our staff sat just a few rows behind former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush during the evening session. Just before Arnold Schwarzenegger took to the stage, his wife Maria Shriver sat down next to the Bush couple and their other children. When (Filed 8/31/2004 - 1155PM) Wednesday at the Convention The political action committee I chair, GING-PAC, may not have the largest presence in I started out my day at Late in the afternoon our staff attended a reception held by Senator George Allen of Later, after the speeches by Senator Zell Miller and Vice President Cheney, we returned from Our day at the convention was very full and very profitable for the conservative cause, but I do not have time right now to fully report on it. A finalnote: Something is happening in In the last 24 hours several states have moved to the Bush column in national polls. The Rasmussen poll now shows Bush ahead in electoral votes and (Filed Friday at the convention President George W. Bush’s speech this evening was a smash hit in which he answered his critics and at the same time painted Senator John Kerry for what he is, a totally indecisive individual. (See President’s speech here) His introduction by Governor Pataki of Because so many conservative pundits will be writing about the comments of the President I will not dwell on them here, but rather discuss the accomplishments of the day for our conservative organizations. We began the day with a prayer meeting in our hospitality suite in the New Yorker Hotel led by radio personality Janet Parshall. Her sincerity in her relationship with the Lord is genuine. Before leading our morning group in prayer for our leaders and our nation, she asked the television and still photographers present to shut down their cameras. The prayers of our group were not for the sake of publicity, but for the sake of our leaders. Later in the morning I was once again on radio row in We were not the largest group of conservatives present, nor did I do the greatest number of TV and radio shows … However, we did what we were supposed to do, add buzz to the overall conservative nature of the news coming from
