Dear Pastor:
Greetings to you from the office of THE FAITH AND FREEDOM INSTITUTE here in Altoona. I trust you are seeing the blessing of God on your ministry in a great way these days.
Speaking about “these days,” there are some interesting things taking place in America and even in Pennsylvania that should motivate each of us to preach the Word of God without compromise and pray without ceasing like never before. I am sure you agree with me that it is the Word of God that will change lives and prayer that will enable us to see God work.
In Pennsylvania we are facing a primary election in May that will be instrumental in placing a new governor in Harrisburg. Over the past months, I have come to know and appreciate one man of moral, spiritual and political integrity who is running for the highest elected position in our Commonwealth, and his name is Sam Rohrer. Sam is a dedicated Christian who is pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious freedom, pro-parental rights and has been one of the leading voices for constitutional government Pennsylvania. I firmly believe Sam would work hard to effectively reverse the “culture of corruption” that has been thriving in Harrisburg for years.
I understand the restrictions you have as a pastor when it comes to endorsing a particular political candidate. When representing your church, you simply cannot endorse anyone. However, when speaking for yourself as an independent citizen, you may support anyone you wish. Therefore, I want to encourage you to consider getting to know Sam Rohrer.
Government is one of God’s three institutions, along with the family and the church. Therefore, as pastors I believe we are to do all we can before God to support those institutions and endeavor to bring biblical principles to bear upon each as we have the opportunity to do so. Sadly, and all too often, we seem to neglect doing so with the government.
When a committed Christian like Sam Rohrer is led of the Lord to run for office, I believe we have an obligation to pray for him, get to know him, and support him. That is why I am sending you this letter.
Enclosed is a fact sheet on Sam and if you would like to learn more about him I have a compact disk of his testimony that was given at the Faith Baptist Church of Altoona which you may receive upon request. Of course, you can also go to his website at www.samrohrer.org for further information.
Please give Sam Rohrer prayerful consideration, and then do what you feel free to do under the direction of the Lord in providing support and encouragement to him, his family and his campaign. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Gary G. Dull, President
The Faith and Freedom Institute
