In a momentous event, occurring only 5 times in the last 20 years, the President of the United States called for a joint session of Congress this past Wednesday evening. The purpose of the session being an effort of the President to convince both Senators and Representatives along with the American people of why they should support his proposed ‘Health Care Reform.’

On this particular evening, we had the joy of fellowshipping with the Hynes Family. Both Mr. Hynes and Dad have a burden for making an impact in our nation. To this end, they are leading our families in developing Biblical perspectives on the major issues affecting our country, culture, church, and family. And healthcare fits right in. We usually spend about 15 minutes discussing different issues of the day, followed by 15 minutes of prayer, and concluding with about 30 minutes of action (ie. writing to the editor, elected official, etc).

President Obama gave his speech which we were able to listen to and take copious notes on (For the Liberty Counsel overview of HR 3200 – healthcare bill – proposed by Congress, click here). Following the address of the president, Mr. Hynes and Dad encouraged everyone to take a moment and write a letter to one of our elected Congressman.

Though sending a letter or making a phone call seems rather small and insignificant, when joined together with dozens, hundreds, and thousands of other concerned American citizens, we can make an impact. Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. We can make an impact in our nation. Why not take a few minutes and send a quick note to one of your elected representatives.
