Write to your Congressman and firmly protest your support. This will destroy “states rights” …very dangerous!

I did a google search for how to take action against this bill. Google has a long list of offerings calling this bill “for the people.” Democrats are voting “for the people.” Bad Republicans are blocking. Mighty God, help us. We rebuke the power of the evil one in the name of Jesus. We trust that Your plans and purposes will be brought to completion.

Prayer is step 1. The most critical. Step 2 – please share this article and talk with others immediately about this deceptive bill. Step 3 – contact your legislators. It is easier than ever today. Don’t just let them know to vote against it. REQUIRE them to tell you how they will vote. Do not accept a “form reply” as an answer. Tell them that you and others oppose this terrible legislation and that you expect them to honor your request or they will be looking for a new job next. Sorry but we cannot play nicey-nicey with poisonous legislation like this.

How in the world is this supposed to create unity?? The new administration and Biden talks a good game about unity but instead they are doing the opposite! Unless the unity benefits just them but not the American people. Lord please cause this bill to collapse and not stand, I pray. We really need term limits not for just a President and VP, but for ALL Gov’t positions!! Will definitely contact my representatives and tell them this is a very bad idea and to please reject it!!

The bible tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but MIGHTY through God to the pulling down of strongholds. These MIGHTY weapons consist of prayer and the word of God. We have to pull down the plans of man. We need to be in earnest prayer and fasting

Such madness!!

They legislate only what benefits them and always using “for the people” they might as well just list their names.

Term limits needed!!

“At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness”
Ecclesiastes 10:23 NIV

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:12 KJV

Come, Jehovah Nissi, fight our battles according to 2 Chronicles 20:15 ESV. “Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s” and according to Romans 12:19 You will vindicate the righteous and punish the wicked. You will judge with perfect justice and perfect mercy. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

Father we are ready, we are clad with the full armor of God, we are ready to fight along side Yeshua.

Elohim, the all-powerful one, thank you for Your son Yeshua, our mighty warrior. Amen.

    Amen Amen Father God in your precious son Jesus’s Name we ask you to Bind all that are trying to pushing this Bill through.
    Greater emphasis is needed to ensure no fraud, security and proof of voter valid ID. Let’s slow down and look at what went wrong first.

This is what is commonly called “A wolf in sheep’s clothing” bill. Contact you legislators in every way possible and tell them to reject it 100%!!

Lord – we ask that you would cause this bill to be defeated. We pray your holy spirit would move in the hearts of Americans to stand up against this bill and demand it’s defeat. Let the truth of this bill and it’s true intentions reach the citizens of our nation and allow their opposition to it cause our reps to vote it down. In Jesus name we pray amen.
