The evil provisions contained within this bill have been stopped for now. However, there is talk of bring “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” back during this lame duck session as a stand alone bill. They know it will not pass next year in the new Congress.

Keep praying. Stay vigilant! Stay ready to react quickly to their desperation and deception! This is not over for this year until the lame duck session is over!

GOD bless your efforts on behalf of HIS truth! GOD bless the United States if and as it returns to the path of HIS righteousness!
