Dear Pastor Grandstand (Branstad or something like that),
Thank you for your invitation to join in thoughtful prayer and humble repentance, but for what exactly? Yes, your proclamation was for Iowa, but surely it would still count just across the river, or is the God you mention a small one? Is repentance necessary because Iowa has been wicked? But no, you say our nation has “fallen from her intended
purpose”? Hmm, TPP didn’t even know our
nation was female let alone that it had an intended purpose? What a
revelation! And where did this information about our nation come from,
pray tell. Granted, TPP is not a great
historical scholar, especially concerning our nation, but somehow there was
this idea that our nation’s founding had a great deal to do with religious
freedom. Now this means everyone has the
freedom to believe, as long as that belief doesn’t infringe upon the freedoms
of others (a concept that gets frequently over looked, and this is only
mentioned because, Pastor Grandstand, you seem unaware of this). You quote some Corinthians thing to support
your declaration, but what is this?
Didn't it involve sacrifice of a lot of animals? It sounds very Biblical, but since many of us are not of the Biblical
persuasion, you cannot possibly be proclaiming in direct opposition to one of the
basic tenets of our nation. You must
be concerned that Christians who have no
understanding of religious freedoms are trying to stomp all over the religious
freedoms of others, a noble cause, but you sure have a daffy way of expressing
it, especially as a political leader sworn to uphold our constitution. So is that the problem? Our nation’s intended purpose is to follow our
constitution, but you call for prayer and Christian repentance because Christians are not giving
others their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of religion? This is very confusing, but no more confusing
than having a governor act as though he were the high priest of Iowa. So, no thanks your Immanence, and we give thanks for the governor we have on this side of the river, who is not a great savior, but at least he understands that part of the constitution. Next time read it, not 2nd Corinthians. Sincerely, TPP

First, as an individual (female)who was thrown out of Sunday School at the age of nine for asking too many questions, it sounds reasonable - I can come up with a whole list of public figures who might well be on my list of individuals (mostly male) (present company excepted) who could repent.
Check it twice to find out who's been naughty and who has been nice. Oh, wait, wrong list.
