This election season, "America’s future seems to hang in the balance," says Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action.
On today's radio broadcast, Dr. Dobson reads portions of his October newsletter and explains what's at stake on Nov. 4.
"It’s probably obvious which of the two major candidates’ views are most palatable to those of us who embrace a pro-life, pro-family worldview," he says. "While I will not endorse either candidate this year, (in fact, I’ve only endorsed one presidential nominee in my life) I can say that I am now supportive of Senator John McCain and his bid for the presidency."
Dr. Dobson goes on to explain his position.
"My concern is for the biblical and moral issues that I and millions of Americans hold dear," he says. "I will gladly support politicians of any stripe who are willing to defend the sanctity of human life, support the institution of traditional marriage, protect the country from terrorism and advance the cause of religious liberty.
"While certainly not perfect, the 2008 Republican Platform comes closest to embracing those ideals by a wide margin."
Dr. Dobson wraps up the broadcast with what he calls his most important statement.
"Regardless of your political views, I want to urge Christians everywhere to be in prayer about this election," he says. "This election is about the future of the nation, but it will also go a long way toward determining the culture your children and grandchildren will come to realize. I hope you will vote with your children and your children's children in mind. That certainly puts the election in a different light, doesn't it?"
