Jul 25 Op Ed: Let faith & freedom ring

Republic LIGHT (Latinos In Government Honorary Team)

Byron Tucker - PIO for Sheriff Dept in Alamance

The Faith & Freedom event took place at the Integrity Church campus in Burlington and was opened by Omar Lugo, Chair to the Republican GOP in Alamance County. This was preceded by Stephen, Nicole and Naomi Potts who amazed the crowd with an exceptional performance of the Star Spangled Banner. Pastor Bud Wrenn was the host that evening presenting to the audience all the people that were guest speakers. He also emphasized in between each speaker the importance of the main graphic which was shown periodically throughout the presentations. The evening started out with Byron Tucker, who is the Public Information Officer within the Alamance Sheriff Department. Tucker spoke on the importance of giving God the first place within any occupation and described how they practiced that very thing within the department. He stated how crucial it was being how they put their lives out on the line on a daily basis and how that commitment to God keeps them safe and alive. It also allows them to keep doing what they do every day.

He was followed by Christin McMasters who holds a PhD in Political Science and is presently a college instructor teaching all over the Constitution and its original purpose. She is presently the author of the book “Why do we need government in the first place? What every American needs to know” McMasters mesmerized the audience with crystal clear concepts of the Constitution, specifically article 1 Section 8 which is the basis of her book. As a millennial Constitutionalist, she made sure to drive the point home that no American can truly answer anything concerning our nation’s government without fully understanding the Constitution and its original intent. She is open to event invitations and gave out her information, you can follow her at “thelibertybellenc.com” where you can help her by donating or purchasing at her online store.

Winstom Liu - Advocate for Religious Liberty

The next guest speaker wasn’t a Christian man but nevertheless was very familiar with religious persecution. Winstom Liu presently travels the world speaking as an advocate for the freedom of religion. In 1999 Liu was sentenced to jail for four years in China for simply not denying his faith in Falun Gong. He was jailed and tortured until almost loosing his mental health but never denied his belief system. Many nights he thought he was not going to make it because he had become such a target to the CCP. He spoke openly about the truth behind a communist regime and their strategies. He brought an eye-opening warning to all that there were characteristics we needed to know that were mainly communist in nature. He stated that any movement in the US that insights hatred, that is hell bound on destroying traditions or that demands loyalty were all three important factors of a communist regime. He ended his presentation by saying that he really thought the CCP had already infiltrated the US somehow, he spoke on how they have had a plan to overthrow this nation for years now. There bate is to make us believe that communism is good.

Jonathan Uzcategui - Political Candidate for NC

Next, the American citizen by choice, Jonathan Uzcategui shared his story on the nightmare of Hugo Chavez and its similarities with us today before their fall. He described Venezuela as the 4th country in the world to have riches and oil. He boasted that Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia. Before the fall they had many things in common as this nation presently has now: they were a republic, they had a constitution and they had 2 main parties, one liberal and one conservative. Jonathan explained that the four main changes done as soon as Chavez took over were the same ones the liberals are trying so desperately to do here. The four are: Chavez removed the constitution because it was too old and racist. The second was to take over the education system by indoctrinated the children to believe the government ruled supreme, the third was to change their main faith from Christianity to devil worship and finally, gun control that led to gun confiscation. With tears in his eyes and a bit choked up he said he left Venezuela to escape the monster, yet he feels the monster followed him here, and that from here there is no other beacon of shinning freedom anywhere else. His main purpose in his campaign was to tell the silent majority that we cannot stay silent any longer. He emphasized the need for more people to engage within their communities and help our churches, schools and governments to push back on the agendas that want to tear down our nation.

Lt Governor of NC, Mark Robinson - Speaker

Finally, the last speaker of the night, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson received a standing ovation as he entered the room as Pastor Wren presented him and asked him up on the stage. The people applauded and cheered as the energy went soaring through the roof. He started off by thanking Jesus for another day to do God’s will and then started to tell us a little history lesson. He went on to speak about the Battle of Gettysburg and a man named Joshua Chamberlain on Little Round Top. He mentioned the story because he compared that story to us today. The union soldiers on top of that hill ran out of ammunition from the immense amount of fighting that took place. They knew the Confederate soldiers had one goal that day which was to sweep them off that hill. Those same soldiers were determined to fight or die trying. Mark Robinson compared the world we live to Gettysburg and Little Round Top to this nation, in which We The People are just like those Union soldiers who were determined to stay and fight that last battle. He finished by calling the people to an accountability concerning the state of NC and how we need to stand for what we believe in and fight as those soldiers did, against all odds.
