My first contact was with the Texas Values booth.  David Walls was the leader who helped secure passage of a bill in Texas to protect ministers from being forced to preform gay marriages.  David was also involved in a movement to secure tax money for private Christian academies.
     Bob McEwen, former U.S. Congressman, announced to the crowd of nearly 1,000 that only 2% of the population has hijacked America from Christians.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is under indictment, was praised.  Texas Governor Gregg Abbott was the first featured speaker.  He reminded the audience of mostly pastors that there is a rising tide of hostility against religion threatening all of us.  He suggested pastors need to pass out voter guides in the church to help elect better leaders.  To guard against the loss of religious liberty he boasted he was the one as Attorney General who kept the Ten Commandment Monument on the lawn at the state capital.  He also assured the crowd he protected the Kountze, Texas public school cheerleaders and saved them from persecution.  Prayers kept the pep squad from oppression.  Kountze was the famous town story where cheerleaders posted Bible verses on the football stadium.  Religious liberty groups said this was not legal. Abbott sided with the girls instead of court rulings.  He assured the crowd Texas leads the U.S. in protecting religious liberty.
     William Federer was up next.  Federer is noted for some Islomaphobhic tapes and books he has authored.  He said there are two types of preachers.  The bad types are the ones who teach separation of church and state and thus teach the congregation not to get involved.  True pastors are not like this.  He noted that if gays have their way they will control all pulpits.  It is our time, he stated, to raise up leaders.  Tuesday afternoon will be devoted to getting pastors to run for office.
      Senator Ted Cruz was next on tape telling the crowd he is proud of his father for going to prison and was Ted's hero.  Ted's father, who went to prison in Cuba for being a Communist, would be featured next.  Cruz's dad, Rafael, said the foundation of everything is Jesus Christ.  He proposed many churches are secular humanists.  Social justice is another word for collectivism.  A projector placed a banner before the crowd on the two screens.  The banner stated that all of our problems stem from the separation of church and state.  This seemed to be a major theme.  Cruz Senior said the Danbury letter, used in history to defend separation of church and state in America, means that the wall is only one way.  That is, the wall of separation was set up to protect the church from government intervention, not vice versa.  (First Amendment scholars disagree with his conclusion.)     The ex-Communist next told us that in 1962, prayer was banned from public schools.  In 1963, the Bible was banned.  He said that Homosexual pastors can now come to your church and if you refuse to hire them you will be sued for Civil Rights violation.  He next listed what he said were several lies from Democratic candidates.  He gave his civics opinion on the American system of government.  He proposed the Biblical version of government is local control, not Federal.   He went on to state that the majority of pastors hide behind the pulpit scared to death of losing their tax exempt status.
     Pastor Ken Graves was featured throughout the meeting.  He often used illustrations of battle and warfare.  He stated the new understanding of church and state causes us to abandon the war.  Boys are born to dream of war.  Girls are not like this.  Being a macho man is the birth right of males.  He preaches with a Bible holder on his left hip and a 45 caliber pistol wedged in his back belt.  He proclaimed in a billowing voice that ministers settle for income, but we were created for war.  Next up Bishop Jackson said we needed to fight till Jesus comes.    It was obvious the virility of pastors was challenged if they were not fighting this political battle.  
     Cowboy pastor Dick Sisk carried on the manly advice.   He said preachers need to "take off the kid gloves."  He admitted that he preached better after "he puked."  His wife said this was a sign he had a good sermon.  He used cowboy illustrations to drive home his points.  
       Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee was the last orator.  He boasted he knows the prime Minister of Israel personally.  He compared him to Winston Churchill.  This friendship helped Mike to better
