Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect? This is a concept from chaos theory where a small, almost imperceptible action on one side of the planet can have a tornado-sized effect on the other. I submit that we may have a similar situation with a race in Florida. Let me set the stage for you.
In terms of the electoral landscape of the United States, there are arguably six states capable of swaying the direction of the Electoral College. On the left are New York, California, and Illinois. On the right, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. Notably, Florida is a recent red state. Given this geopolitical landscape, what happens in Florida is consequential to the rest of the country.
Despite the crisis at the southern border in Texas, Arizona, California, and New Mexico, it is Florida who has received the most landings of illegal immigrants in the past few years. By far. Just in 2024 over 320,000 illegals have deplaned in the Sunshine State. These immigrants arrive in the middle of the night and are sent off with cash and instructions. We know that there are mechanisms allowing them to to register to vote and it is happening. Understandably, this poses a grave risk for Florida and arguably, for the rest of the country. For three years, citizens like myself have not only been sounding this alarm but providing legislative solutions to no avail.
One of the insurmountable roadblocks has been the lack of a Senate champion to sponsor parallel legislation, ensuring that House election security bills do not die in committee. Enter Gerry James, candidate for Senate District 7. Because Florida has no conservative senators, it is imperative that we get at least one who will carry election security legislation to the finish line. Gerry is passionate about guarding the vote and downsizing the administrative state. This is why national figures like Sarah Palin are supporting him. I invite you to listen to her opinion, thoughts, and perspectives not only on his race but on the state of the union.
In summary, a little known race in Florida could be the spark that initiates a reform of the establishment which has not served us well at all. For now, this race stands as the most consequential, contentious, and expensive one in Florida (so far, over $1MM has been spent) … and yours truly is the campaign manager. The Lord does work in mysterious ways. Please pray for divine guidance, protection, and intervention!

Heavenly Father,
Command the host of heaven, the warring angels, to protect all involved in Gerry James’ campaign. Safeguard our families, properties, and businesses from evil deeds and nefarious intentions. Pour out Your goodness and release Your favor upon this campaign and those who serve You, Creator of all, Holy Spirit within us, Jesus, Prince of Peace.
Release Your spiritual army to do battle against the powers and principalities. Thwart the work of the enemy acting through people's desires for power, notoriety, and wealth. Dismantle covert and satanic alliances, arrest those who operate in the spirit of Jezebel, and prohibit and abort manifestations and measures designated for evil.
We pray in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen
Yes Lord save America!
Wonderful Prayer+
