Rep. Matt Gaetz says people looking to oppose President Biden’s liberal agenda will have to turn to state leaders to resist a leftward federal drift.

 

The Florida Republican told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro that America’s federalist structure will be critical in combating liberal policies as the Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House.

“When it comes to the preservation of our rights, we’re going to have to look more to our leaders at the state level to stand up and fight for our liberty because nothing good is going to come out of Washington, D.C., under unified control of the government by Democrats,” he said during a broadcast of Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News Saturday night. . . .

The congressman, who referred to his home state of Florida as the “Gunshine State,” argued that the states’ ability to serve as a check on federal power will be particularly important to protect Second Amendment rights.

“We believe that it is a good thing when our citizens are well protected and when they vindicate their Second Amendment rights,” Gaetz said. “Unfortunately, the gun control legislation moving through the United States Congress right now impairs the rights of our citizens. It takes away their individual agency. It makes it more likely that the Biden administration will have the tools for confiscation of firearms, and so, I hope that we make the case out in the country [and] we put pressure on Democrats, particularly in the Senate, to stand against the Biden gun control.”. . .

 

At the height of the coronavirus, Rep. Maxine Waters of California argued that “one decision by the federal government is not sufficient to force these schools to open.” Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina agreed in his own case for federalism, arguing that the conditions in populated city centers differed greatly from rural areas.

“It’s different in rural America than it is in urban America,” he said. “So, I don’t know that we up here can come up with a one-size-fits-all.” . . .

addressing the 2nd amendment. the point was to set up a system where a revolution would never be needed in the first place by ensuring that there is as little distance as possible between the coercive power of the government and the people it governs. an armed citizenry and state militias, along with a military of citizen soldiers are all part of that system. to prevent tyranny. tyranny definition; oppressive governmental power. hmmm does this sound like a group of people we know ?

We MUST pray diligently for a revival. Without the appearance of the Holy Spirit into our states and regions, we are helpless. The good news for us all is that God has seen His body fail His purposes before, then responded to the cries of His remnant.

My Prayer TODAY…
President Biden be held ACCOUNTABLE and a Medical examination needs to be done! Biden has the signs of Dementia and the fact we allowed this man to be voted President, when there is obviously something not right! ACCOUNTABILITY CORRUPTION China and Hunter Biden connections. Unconstitutional action being taken and also the restriction on Joe’s authority to Classification Information.

    Do you want Harris she is just as evil as Biden? I believe she is speaking now with heads of states. So if Biden goes down which I think he will, then what? Lots of prayers, but the American people are not there yet.

What breaks my heart is the division in the church!
As I’m reading many of the comments it appears that if anything is going to change it starts with the church.
Pray the heart of God and not your opinions or judgements.
Righteousness and justice is the foundation of God’s throne.

Wow so now we are lauding Matt Gaetz who has multiple DUI’s and was found in possession of cocaine? He is the very definition of the swamp! We have fallen so far as a party in just two short years. I am losing all hope in my fellow “Christians”. May God our Father in Heaven have mercy on your souls. I cannot bear the filth and slander of this website any longer. I pray you all leave while your hearts still bear some resemblance of purity.

I’ve heard many Conservative voices say, people have to get involved at the state and local level. There is no doubt about it! If we don’t, we are going to lose, big time! Most people have no idea how long this “agenda” has been planned for America. President Trump had to be gone for them to succeed! Christians have to wake up!

        Amen, Pauline and Dale. You are right! Individual rights, free market capitalism, our Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc., are all in jeopardy. It’s not a myth, it’s a fact, and they really are NOT hiding it! They are very open about what they’re doing. It is appalling! Pray, like never before!

Another very critical point is this… citizens normally have a greater impact, voice and can effect with more measures at the state level. A lot of entrenched lifer politicians in DC are nothing more than del serving hacks devoted to corporate money and kickbacks. There are many good people in DC who still listen but for the most part, they are not in charge of a lot of decision making processes. That is WHY citizen involvement is super critical at local and state levels. Never underestimate that. If you want change, then be part of it starting at that level. Prayer + involvement + action = RESULTS.

After 5 weeks at the helm of our compromised Republic, Biden has proven that he is being used by the most radical leftist puppet masters that DO NOT have our best interests at heart. The massive number of Executive Orders that he has foisted on the American people are not his policy agenda, they are draconian efforts to dismantle EVERYTHING that President Trump advanced on behalf of the struggling people of America… put in front of his nose for signature by NWO Globalists & their socialist lemmings.

We must continue to pray for Divine Intervention; these Spiritual Guidelines will help:

Heavenly Father, it seems that the forces of evil are rampant in the USA, but we Your people know that You are stronger, and You are the one in control. Father God, please let truth prevail, please do not let the schemes of man succeed. For the remnant of those of us who still believe in You, I ask for Your protection.

Amen.

Father, open the eyes of our elected leaders and those who work with, against, and under them so that they see through Your eyes, hear through Your ears, walk in places where You would walk, talk to people whom You would talk to and to say the words that You would speak in those moments. Open their hearts so that they would experience Your Mercy and Compassion for others. Lord, I ask that You would surround them with Your warring angels so that the enemy and his followers cannot come near any of these people to plant his weeds next to Your Seeds. Pluck out the weeds that already grow within and/without them so that they have a clean rebirth into your Kingdom. Keep the enemy from getting anywhere near these individuals whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. Starve them from the enemy and his ways. Allow these individuals to only be exposed to that which is pure, Holy and Divine. Keep them from the ability to gain demonic guidance in any matters whatsoever so that they can only hear from You and You alone. Lord protect their family, friends, and all intercessors as we pray this prayer because we know that the enemy will come against all of us in order to get to these individuals….stop that from happening so that they can only react to what is Holy, Righteous, and Pure. Protect our land and all of its resources from the enemy and his alien invaders from throughout the world. Plant people here who have a covenant relationship with You alone and no ties to the enemy. Bless this country n order to bless You in the way that You had initially intended us to. Block all provisions to the killing of innocent blood and lead the brigade when we are lead into spars, battles or war. Fight every battle ahead of us. Lead the way for all of our missionaries and protect as they introduce to people in dangerous places. Give them the Words necessary to explain Who You are and teach them when to dust off their boots to walk to the next town if You are rejected. Lord, free the Christian prisoners who went on Your behalf and return them safely back to their families. God help us. Our needs are too great to list them all here…You see the needs that we are not even aware of yet. Bless us, keep, us, make Your Face to shine upon us and grant us the Peace that surpasses all understanding. We love You Lord! We ask for all of these things in Your Mighty Name, Jesus….Amen. P.S. Guide our footsteps throughout the day in order to fulfill Your Will for us today…in Jesus’ Name…amen

Father put the right people in our tracks that we can hold our government in support of the people, not against. And Father, we need to get back to the pre-election rules of voting. Guide our government officials in the Senate to vote against the House Legislation bill on voter rights, as well as the Gun Legislation bill. Father our country needs your guidance. Let the Holy Spirit move in each and every one of us, we pray.

Now we will see how unique and heavenly our Constitution document are in the individual states leaders fighting for the American citizens rights and not being forced to follow tyranny of Biden. We will now see the unique documents our LORD led our founding fathers to write to protect us against mans ways of leading. These documents reflect the LORDS words they are a mirror image of HIS word for our nation that is why we have and will survive as a Christian nation. We are the only nation that lives with our LORDS words protecting us in our laws as they are ordered as the heavens have been. We have not put these documents into practice for a very long time in the way they were meant to be used. That is why we suffer because of our sin and following ways of world instead of our LORDS heaven as was HIS plan through our founding fathers. Many leaders have picked and chosen only what they thought in their flesh that fit their agenda not our LORDS as intended in these documents the Constitution , Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence we were lied too, manipulated ,decieted by men of leadership especially since 2008 -2016. The roots of hell took root in our nations churches and they failed our LORDS kingdom. We will now see with our state leaders that our LORD is in complete control of all things that is if your leaders our believers aligned with our LORDS will and know that they are HIS children and HE knows all and sees all. They want to please HIM in all they do and say. As in our LORDS word of Ps 46:10 HE says, “Be still and know that I am GOD; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Isaiah 9:6
and the government shall be upon His shoulders….
What a great place to be….

I agree that states should combat the evilness with their own laws as it should always have been.

May God truly receive our repentance and bless America once again (we let it get this way, and by praying and repenting, we must stand on 2 Chronicles 7:14)

Thank you Father, we love You.

    Almighty Sovereign Father-God, Forgive me for I/eye/Ay-aye selfishness; Holy is Your Name and character as I heartedly agree with hearing Your Voice in Your Word and always-now governance of history. Please put feet to my prayers and Your actions to install the Honorable Mike Pompeo as presidential candidate and Dr. Ben Carson as Vice Presidential ticket for 2024. Please show dear Donald Trump my tears and consolations as I believe that he, First Lady Melania and son Barron must flee to Slovakia for safety and good stewardship of their talents of world Leadership. May we and all trees of Your forests/universe clap our hands to Your praise and Glory of Jesus! WK

This is a very interesting video, not something that I would have thought of to really make a difference in our nation. Whatever we can do to fight the Biden agenda and maintain our liberty, is a good thing for freedom-loving Americans. Lord, please embolden the people in our government to fight back against Biden and his Socialist regime. It is not going to be easy, but by Your grace, let it come to pass. In Jesus’ name we pray.

Jesus said, if you ask for a fish I will not give you a stone!
So we pray for increase of light,we call forth divine appointments, those who are being called, come forth from the hidden places. It is time to receive your mandate from heaven, a divine strategy from Heaven. Ears be opened to hear God’s call and eyes be opened to behold His glory, eyes be opened to see your destiny. Grace is there to step forward, into your calling!
Father may you crown these folks and those already serving with Grace and strength, give revelation of your Grace, May a Holy Father bring increase to those leaders who are already serving. I bless you,in the name of Jesus, with a heavenly blessing. Arise out of your discouragement and walk in Holy Ghost love and power. His shield is over you, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose, fight in the presence of the living God who shall multiply fruit in your lives, Repent for your sin, and seek first the Kingdom of God and ALL these things shall be added unto you.Align yourself with the King. Then the host of Heaven , His angels shall fight for you! Blessing to All, Lydia

Father God, you have been faithful in revealing truth. Now we look to you this hour to raise up leaders, your people to be strong and courageous and focus on your strength,like Joshua before he entered the promised land, with the Israelite. Reveal to your people ways we can serve your people in leadership positions. Looking to you to open those opportunities and ways to help. Please help us Lord Jesus. Its in your name we pray, Amen

As so famously stated, ‘all that is needed for evil to exist is for enough good men to do nothing’. Father, we humbly come before You asking to raise up the churchmen to stand for You in defying the tyrannants. Father, the church has remained silent and compromised for far too long, allowing the removal of Bibles and prayer from the public school, on abortion, on the shutdown, now even compromising to push vaxxx knowing how dangerous the ingredients are and from where some are harvested. What an abomination to You!
Father, please make known Your truths in all things, as we read Your word, please make clear where You call is to stand. May we each truly trust in Your diety and Your infallible Word without waiver. Show us truths and reveal the enemies actions, expose the wolves, and may we seek You with humility excepting what is true even when our weakly flesh believed a lie. May we repent, may we find true joy in You. May You lead this nation out from under this dark winter and may it be all for Your glory. We need You Lord. And it’s in Jesus name I pray and ask these things of You. Amen
