Sams not alone


Sen.Sam Brownback said he used to run on Sam power but not anymore. Sam said his way just wasn't working (can I get a amen?) but now hes got something that can work for everyone. Sam says hes done with Sam power cause now he runs on God power. Sam's life was changed forever. This moment is a story that Sam would willingly tell anyone so I thought I would tell you all about how this life altering event happened. One day Sam was with a group of senators when a chaplain challenged the senators to reconsider there conception of democracy. The chaplain asked "How many constituents do you have?" and the senators replied by saying :4 million, 9 million , 12 million. After hearing the response the chaplain said "May I suggest that you have only one constituent?" That moment as Sen.Brownback declares changed his life. Sam used to run on Sam and for Sam, now he runs on God and for God. Sam says "This" -- being senator, running for president, waving the flag of a Christian nation -- "is about serving one constituent." He raises a hand and points above him. That moment changed his life and made Sam what he is today, a man of God who believes as Sam would say himself that "We believe in a culture of life-that every human life is a beautiful, sacred, unique child of a loving God.We believe in justice for all-at all times.We believe in liberty." Its true we believe in liberty and if we truly believe in Liberty in its true presence than we will stand by Sam and furthermore stand united as a country that is united by its ideals,united by its people and united by the God that we trust in! May God bless you all and May he continue to bless this country!

From The Big House to the White House



Even Louisiana State penitentiary cant keep Senator Sam Brownback from getting to know the American people and spreading the "news". Browback spent Friday evening and all day Saturday at the penitentiary;From the drug cartel to the serial rapist Brownback met them all. Like Brownback said "There aren't probably a lot of votes for me here," he said. "There can be a lot of prayers, though." Indeed it is true. Brownback was there to press his message that faith can work to improve even the lives of hardened criminals. Brownback showed that he cares more about the people than the vote. He spent Friday evening at a prayer service and then when it was time to sleep he slept in a modest 7 by 10 foot cell just feet from convicts who some would say are hopeless but in Brownbacks eyes need just that ...Hope. "I believe in a separation of church and state, but I do not believe in a removal of faith from the public square," he told the prisoners. "Our motto of our land is, 'In God We Trust."' His message to the prisoners was just that, to trust in God. "This prison used to be one of the bloodiest in the country," said Deloch, a Baptist minister at the penitentiary. "It's still bloody because it's covered with the blood of Jesus Christ, and this blood is saving people's lives." Like Brownback once said talking about our country
"If we ever lose our goodness, we will surely lose our greatness." Even good can come from terrible places you just have to have people like Brownback to plant the seeds.
