It’s hard to deny that our nation is currently under relentless attack from evil forces. More and more frequently, we read in the news about issues and events unheard of before. Yet, we seem not to understand the severity of the situation.

Life goes on, and we think nothing more about it.
We are seeing a coordinated Marxist-oriented tyrannical subversion of our Nation’s very foundations. And we are at the inflection point: the gradual hundred-year infiltration has “switched gears” to the rapid-speed disestablishment of our fundamental national institutions. Think “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
Without immediate, powerful resistance to this subversion, our children and grandchildren will not enjoy the life of freedom and prosperity that we have.
Ronald Reagan reminded us that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are “never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Today we are that “one generation!”
It is up to us, now, to take a stand against this tyrannical insurgency — not just with words, but with actions.

Many of us profess to be Christians. We try to do good. We are charitable. We even go to church on Sundays. We trust in God.
What does it mean to trust in God?
Recently, Christians celebrated the feast of Pentecost, commemorating the Holy Spirit’s manifestation to the Apostles, imbuing in them the power and grace they needed to “go forth and teach all nations.” God’s plan was for them to spread Christianity.
God indeed has a plan, and part of His plan involves us taking action!
There is a danger in passively assuming God will do it all — He wants His people to do their part.
A lesson of Pentecost is that we must balance our trust in God with doing our part to advance His plan. As the traditional motto tells us, “God helps those who help themselves.”
God was instrumental in the founding of our great Republic. We believe that He has a plan for our Nation. Our nation, however, has been gradually falling away from Him.
The United States of America could be entering a “death spiral” from which we might not recover. God’s purpose is being thwarted by the forces of darkness, so the forces of light need to step up!
Remember, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing.”
Current events are proving this true. Things that once would have been so abhorrent that they would never stand are now commonplace. They are occurring with such rapidity that we soon forget, and life goes on.

Don’t be one of those doing nothing! Here is what you can do to get involved:
- Attend local Select Board & School Board Meetings. You don’t have to speak, just watch and learn.
- Join your town’s Republican Committee. Attend their meetings. Meet other like-minded citizens. Learn about the issues and the Republican positions.
- Meet the candidates running for office. Learn why they’re running and for what they stand. New Hampshire is the home of “retail politics.”
- Talk with your friends and neighbors about what you’re learning.
- And of course, vote in every election. Following the above steps makes you an informed voter, a rare breed indeed!
If you’re already involved, here’s how to step up your involvement:
- Get active in your local Republican committee. Their Executive Committee is always in need of active members.
- Write a Letter to the Editor in your local newspaper explaining your take on issues and candidates.
- Consider running for local office: Library Trustee, Selectman or School Board member.
- The First-in-the-Nation NH Presidential Primary is on the horizon. Attend candidate town halls and house parties. Don’t remain on the sidelines. We in New Hampshire have a unique opportunity to influence the 2024 Federal Elections.
Now is the time for action!
