Hi, my name is Pam from Colorado.
I'm a former 43 year straight
party voting ex Republican who
left her party in early 2016.
I left because Trump was going
to be the party nominee and
I couldn't abide by that.
I'm also a devoted Jesus
follower who works overseas
with refugees as a missionary.
I have a message for
my fellow evangelicals.
Like many of you, I was
also a single issue voter.
Pro-life has been my litmus test.
I voted third party in 2016, but this
time the stakes are much too high
and I'm going to be voting for the
only man with character in this race.
And his name is Joe Biden.
There are a lot of reasons for this.
First of all, pro-life
is more than just babies.
It encompasses all of life
and this president has shown a
plethora of ways that he cares
little about the lives of others.
On abortion he delivers only
lip service rather than action.
A 2019 report from Live Action
says that Planned Parenthood
spending is at historic levels.
Our efforts to limit abortion is best
won at the local and state levels
and I've been working hard for that.
It's not at the federal level.
The knowledge of this frees me from
my conscience to vote for a Democrat,
not because I'm rationalizing,
but it's based on the evidence
of what is actually happening.
Second, my husband and I have
seen firsthand with our travels
overseas, the destructive nature
of our president and how that has
affected our relationships overseas.
We are no longer respected.
Thirdly, character matters in a leader.
It matters more than political
policy because out of character flows
wisdom and good decision-making.
Lastly, and this is the most important
for me, I'm voting for Joe Biden to
send a message to my fellow Christians
about the devastating harm that
the embrace of Trump has had on our
witness, here and around the world.
The evil you see in the world
cannot be combated with more evil.
That is not Jesus's way.
Politics is not the correct vehicle.
Jesus is.
We have to restore our witness again, show
the love and grace to those with whom we
disagree that we're supposed to show, and
again return to the thing that matters
the most to Jesus and that is the gospel.
It is impossible to share
that with a shredded witness.
And that's what we have now.
Our efforts, my husband and I,
overseas has been handicapped by our
poor testimony in the United States.
That testimony can only be
restored and it's been lost by
removing the cause of the damage.
Please consider voting this November
for the man who's not perfect, who
doesn't hold all of my policies in
his heart, but is a good man and one
who better exemplifies Christ and
what Christians ought to be about.
And that man is Joe Biden.
Thank you very much.
