I Prayed have prayed
Father, help our nation's leaders to fear You. Help us to recognize that government is appointed by God. Help us to trust You.

Dear Senators:

I was astounded to see the outrageous personal and partisan attack you labeled an “ethics complaint.” It is a startling abuse of the ethics process and a direct assault on democratic debate.

The idea that one Senator who disagrees with another Senator can therefore have that Senator punished, sanctioned, censured, or removed is utterly antithetical to our democracy and the very idea of open, lawful debate. This line of thinking is, however, sadly consistent with the new woke-mob mentality that you should cancel anyone who disagrees with your views. Your baseless allegations are in that sense unfortunately typical of today’s leftwing cancel culture, a culture that tramples on the democratic traditions that left and right once defended together.

Your insinuation that Senator Cruz and I, by representing our constituents in debate in a manner you acknowledge is lawful, following the precedent set by Democratic members of Congress over the last three decades, somehow bear responsibility for the criminal rioters at the Capitol is shamefully false. And you know it to be so.

You well know that multiple members of your own party have raised objections to the Electoral College results in 3 elections over the past 25 years, which is to say, every single time a Republican President has been elected. You of course did not call for the expulsion of any of these members, and for one reason: they are in the same political party as you are.

In light of the shameful abuse of the ethics process you have deliberately engaged in, I have considered whether I should call for you to resign or be expelled from the Senate. But I continue to believe in the First Amendment, which the US Supreme Court has repeatedly said protects even “offensive” and malicious speech, such as yours.

The First Amendment does not, however, give you carte blanche to abuse the Senate ethics process. I have today filed a complaint with the ethics committee that details your deliberate and partisan abuse of this process, including your apparent coordination with various dark money groups, and requests that you be appropriately disciplined.

In closing, please understand this: I will not be intimidated by your efforts to silence me, the people of my state will not be intimidated by you, and you should be ashamed to have so grossly abused your office and the Senate.

God bless Senator Hawley!Fortunately he must have been born with a stainless steel backbone, unlike the rest of the GOP in our Senate and House of Representatives.

Thank you Senator Hawley (and Cruz). Thank you for standing up for righteousness. Thank you for standing in courage and opposition to the “PC woke” people who pretend to be legislators but have exposed themselves as nothing more than men and women consumed by hate, lust of power / control and other abhorrent things that have nothing to do with lawmaking.
As I read this article, I saw a picture of armies of angels standing on your sides. I will continue to pray for their release in battling for that which protects you, others standing with you and in your defense. I will pray that God not only blessed your lawsuit but gives you complete victory with it because in so doing, it is victory for Americans and our nation.
May God continue to strengthen you, your family and overflow you with his wisdom.

We bless You, Father, for men like Senator Hawley and Senator Cruz who speak truth regardless of opposition. Please shine Your Truth and Your Light through them as they make a strong stand for righteousness. There is a great cloud of witnesses surrounding them, who are interceding. May Your abundant blessings be upon all those who are strong and courageous. Anoint them with Your Spirit so their strong stance and powerful words resonate. Those who love You and those who love this land that is built on the foundation of Your principles and values rejoice to join with these mighty men who will not back down. Gird them with Your might, discernment, strategies, and wisdom. And we pray for each one in the House and Senate who love You to take their stand for You in this dark hour. Vindication belongs to You, Father. All glory to Your holy name!

I am thankful for men like Senator Hawley who have chosen to stand for what is right and good in this nation. As the daughter of a WWII veteran, I know that our freedoms were won by men and women like my Dad. I pray that many more men and women who are serving in the Senate and the House will follow the suit of Hawley and confront evil at any cost. However, we cannot fail to pray for all who are in leadership in our nation, starting with the President and moving right down the list for all who serve in our federal government. I believe God IS NOT finished with America and that we must be people of the WORD who pray and intercede for those in authority over us. I believe that God will bless America and we will see His Hand moving in our midst once again. May God’s strength, wisdom and discerning be available to all in leadership in this nation. God is in control!!

We have got to pray for the courage of our Senators and Congressmen! The pressure and intimidation are getting fierce! We need to pray that the voices on the right would feel the Spirit of God filling them with courage. Oh, Lord, please fill these men who are being accused with the power of your Holy Spirit! And we need to pray for the voices on the left, that they might realize how unjust their accusations are, and have the courage to admit it!

Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
(1 Corinthians 16:13)

Put on the full armor of God … Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:11-17)

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me, Says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)

Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
(Exodus 14:13)

Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. (2 King 6:16)

But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. (Isaiah 56:1)

Father, give wisdom, understanding, strength and protection, to Senator Hawley and those who are fighting hard for justice and righteousness.
Father Your word has been sent on behalf of Senator Hawley and his constituents according to Isaiah 55:11 …. So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus’s name. Amen.

    Oh yes Father\o/ I so agree. Thank You Father for showing us that the Spirit which beat in the heart of the young David that went out before Goliath is still beating in the heart of this dear beloved. He is a giant slayer by the power of TRUTH AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHO HIS GOD IS…YOU ARE GREATER WITHIN SENATOR HAWLEY than all those combined in that place. LET THE TRUTH COME FROM HIS MOUTH LIKE YOUR VERY SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD…MAY HE BE FEARLESS BECAUSE HE HAS YOU, THE TRUTH THE LIFE THE WAY ON HIS SIDE AND LET HIM KNOW THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL SURELY MAKE HIM VICTORIOUS. WE DECLARE THAT THERE IS A SHEILD, A SUPERNATURAL FORCEFIELD AROUND HIM AND HIS LOVED ONES UNTIL HE ACCOMPLISHES ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM TO DO AND BEYOND. HE IS VICTORIOUS BECAUSE HE STANDS WITH YOU!! \o/HALLELUJAH\o/
