Proclamation of 29th March 2013
as a Day of Repentance and Prayer
for the Southern Nation

Southerners! We have sinned against Almighty God.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. We have not worshipped the one true God alone, but have trusted in false gods. We have raised up idols of self, entertainment, indulgence, sport, riches, and especially the state. We have not hallowed the name of God in the world or in ourselves, but turned the name “Christian” into a by-word for hypocrisy. Trusting in our own powers and schemes to prosper us, we have cultivated a spirit of rebellion at home, in church, and in civil government. We have not protected life but have built a culture of death, even sacrificing our own children. We have abandoned purity, overthrown honourable marriage, and followed shameless lusts in heart and deed. We have not upheld truth but have cravenly succumbed to a culture of falsehood. We have embraced envy as a way of life and have used the coercive machinery of the state to rob our neighbor of his productive efforts. Even when we have not committed these sins ourselves, we have consented to them by cowardly silence.

There is no health in us. We have fallen away from the God who is our only refuge and strength, the God whose Providence made us into a separate and distinct People. We have spurned the covenant He made with our fathers and forgotten His mercies to us from time immemorial unto this day.

Our only hope in this day of growing distress and darkness is for God’s merciful interposition. That blessing must be preceded by a spirit of true repentance, whereby we cry out to Him to revive us by His Holy Spirit and to renew toward us His boundless mercies of old.

THEREFORE in humble dependence and trust upon Almighty God, in accordance with the wishes of the Delegates of the Fourteen Southern States assembled as the Southern National Congress, its Chairman David O Jones does hereby proclaim Friday, the 29th of March 2013 as a day of repentance and intercessory prayer for the Southern Nation.

We call upon the Governors, Legislatures, and Congregations of the Southern States to join us in proclaiming in their respective States and observing the appointed day of repentance and prayer for the Southern Nation.

Mindful of the promises made unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord, we hereby urge and invite the clergy and people of the Southern states to implore the blessing of Almighty God upon our Southland, encouraging our fellow Southerners “to stand before the Lord on that day, with public humiliation, fasting, and prayer, to deplore our many sins, to offer up our joint supplications to God for forgiveness.”

Let us beseech the Holy Lord God, whose Law we have broken and whose wrath we justly deserve, to convert the hearts of our enemies as well as our People. Let us together humbly supplicate “the Supreme Ruler of the world that the rod of tyrants may be broken to pieces, and the oppressed made free again.” Let us pray that He will hasten the time when all conflicts with their sufferings and sorrows shall cease; that He will secure to us the restoration of peace and prosperity, and having recovered us to obedience in His service, that He will give our beloved Southland once again a name and place among the nations of the earth, to His honour and glory.

The Southern National Congress is composed of delegates of the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

CONgress critter Sheila Jackson Lee is a piece of work. In her latest attempt at grabbing headlines she made the audacious statement, “I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together.” When I heard her comment, I exclaimed “WHAT!” She was born in Queens, attended Yale followed by the University of Virginia law School. She has NEVER been a slave or a Texan, much less a Southerner for that matter. The only possibility of her statement being truthful is that she may have been taken hostage by a Middle Eastern nation, many of which still allow slavery. I have not heard of any such hostage taking, so I take her statement as a falsehood.

She is also a card carrying socialist. Perhaps she is a slave to an ideology, or perhaps with her support for Obamacare and other oppressive federal programs she wants to enslave others or perhaps she is just saying things to get attention. This is the same woman who sits out in her seat for the State of the Union hours before the event just so that she can have an aisle seat. When her peers claim she is an ‘aisle hog’ she vehemently denies it, then does the same thing for the next State of the Union speech.

This is the same CONgress critter who claims that “entitlements are not hand outs, they are earned” and that if you are an American, you should turn in your guns. She also said, “Medicare is solvent until 2024 and Social Security is…well, it’s just solvent. ”

It is also interesting to note how she is a member of the Socialist Party, yet the so-called truth checking sites (Politi-fact by the Austin American Statesman) claim that that allegation is unsupported. (They have not done their homework. Just look at what she has supported and you will be able to tell.) I guess the having the American Socialist Party posting its membership list is not good enough for the Austin American Statesman.

Recall that in terms of international issues, she invited Assad of Syria to America to speak, wanted to sell f-16 parts to Hugo Chavez and participated in a protest in support of the present Iranian regime. It is scary to think that she is making decisions that impact the whole of the empire.

It is just another example of how the press supports and helps keep people in office like Sheila Jackson Lee by not publishing the facts. I wonder if they will check out the facts behind Sheila Jackson Lee’s claim that she is a former slave.

Instead of embarrassing Texas with her antics, we need people who will take bold stands and hold firm to the limits placed on government by the Constitution. It would help if she was a Texan. Yankees from Queens are not Texans.
