A Watchful Eye

Some of you may have read that the New Apostolic Reformation is looking to change the DC in Washington DC to the District of Christ instead of the District of Columbia.  No big deal you may say, just another strange fundy group trying to throw their weight around.  They are calling this crusade DC40, where they will be praying for several different issues.  However if you start to look a little deeper into the leaders and their past  you will see a backround of anti-pagan backlash.
 While there is always a rally or a fundamentalist group trying to change the texture of religious freedom in the US, The New Apostalic Reformation (NAR) has a vocal supporter in Sarah Palin.  You may remember them from her witch hunter's blessing. 
Whether you like her politics or not, she can be a dangerous enemy in the fact she will probably run (Goddess forbid she win) for the President of our country. A country that has given everyone freedom of religion. Yet these people only want it for themselves and those who worship like them. As Patti Wigington stated, they aren’t praying for peace but praying for the day when your religion is no longer. Why? Because we are the enemy of their God. Have we proclaimed that…no but that is what they believe and we should not be allow to continue.
For these reasons alone we should keep a watchful eye. A couple of protection spells and maybe binding so they cannot surpress the rights of others can't hurt.
