| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's the Wall Builders Show on a Thursday, which means we've got Foundations of Freedom Thursday today. So please send in your questions, radio at wallbuilders.com. We've got a lot of those to get to today. And of course, you can ask about the |
| 0:21.1 | Declaration, the Constitution. It's the 250. This is a great time to look back at those documents, of course, but it might be about what's going on right now in the world or how to apply biblical wisdom to the issues of the day. Whatever you got, send it into us, radio at Wobblers.com. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. |
| 0:37.4 | And fellas, our first question is coming from Sue. |
| 0:40.5 | My question is, if... Radio at Wobblers.com. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. And fellas, our first question |
| 0:38.5 | is coming from Sue. My question is if it is actually more influential to write and mail a letter to a |
| 0:44.6 | congressman expressing your opinion about a present issue that is on the table, then to send the same |
| 0:49.6 | opinion via email. So just basically how do you deliver it is what she's asking. Some years ago at a |
| 0:53.8 | Wobbler's conference on the Hill, one of the senators said that if as few as 20 letters stating |
| 0:58.1 | your opinion against an issue were received, that the issue would be taken off the table. |
| 1:02.4 | I don't know if that is true today or if people would know the best way to make a difference. |
| 1:06.4 | Perhaps if you know, it'd be profitable to put that information out. I'm asking this because USJF is asking |
| 1:14.4 | support of their cease and desist order and any and all efforts to make Washington, D.C., the 51st state. |
| 1:20.5 | We are being asked to notify Senate Majority Leader John Thune to stop this. |
| 1:25.1 | Okay, guys, so basically, what's the best strategy? Do you send an email, do you call, |
| 1:29.4 | do you write a handwritten letter? And does it actually take it off the table or influence senators |
| 1:35.1 | when you do that? And then specifically to this issue of the Democrats trying to make DC the 51st state. |
| 1:40.6 | Lot there, guys. Now, Dad, I'm going to toss this to you in just a second. I'm hoping that, because I didn't see this question until just Alan Rick read it. Otherwise, I would have texted some of our friends in Congress. I'm super curious if you've talked to someone more recently about this. We were up in D.C. just a week or two ago with a lot of our friends. In fact, actually, earlier this week, I was in California with Congressman Very Loudermilk. So we have been around a lot of these people, but it used to be |
| 2:06.2 | that if somebody wrote a letter that carried a lot of influence, but now I feel like if a |
| 2:12.2 | congressperson saw a letter, they would think that's probably somebody that's older, maybe somebody |
| 2:18.0 | that's not, it's quite in touch with technology. |
| 2:19.6 | But then I, I, in my brain, think, but you got a caveat because now you know that there's |
| 2:25.7 | there's so many of these computer spoof programs that AI can generate and create and send |
