A Christian Conservative rally has been formed and will kick off on Saturday with a prayer assembly on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.
The group is calling the rally "America For Jesus 2012" and wants to spread the word about the downfall of our nation being caused by loose morals. While their leaders say they are neither right nor left, but simply, Christians, they are decidedly in Romney's corner, with one member speaking out against Obama's "radical homosexual agenda" and blasting the country's move toward socialism.
According to the group's website, they are a "solemn assembly to summon together the whole body of Christ to pray for the church and our nation". Coming right before a huge election, the rally will encompass nine hours and will focus on the current issues plaguing the U.S. and why they are compounded by politicians' agendas.
"America is in a state of emergency evidenced by the symptoms of widespread moral depravity and economic meltdown. Education, government, and man's wisdom cannot solve this problem. There is only one remedy that truly can "heal the Land", the site says.
John Blanchard, the executive pastor of Rock Church International in Virginia and national coordinator for the event, said:
"We are praying that God would touch America. We're not Democrats and Republicans. We're Christians."
The prayer event may bill itself as nonpartisan but several of the speakers have been outwardly against President Obama due to his stance on gay marriage.
Attendees have already been asked to begin a 40-day fast through November 6th to help "turn the nation to God"; however, the group's site says that those with medical issues can seek other options.
