CHARLESTON STAND UP FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RALLY


Words can hardly describe how blessed we felt looking out from the top steps of our U.S. Customs House and seeing hundreds & hundreds of local citizens taking a STAND!  Many carry signs that expressed their hopes for the future, some expressed a desire to see improvement in how our government spends our taxes, but all came together in one accord when this chant started: “hey, hey what do you say, let’s go VOTE on election day!”  And that is why we had one more RALLY, so all 750 people who gathered could see they were not alone, we will see each other on election day!!

                                                           
We believe in her future.
