There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.” It comes down to this question, “Will we continue to support Israel, or not?”

Michele Bachmann about the necessity of having a biblical basis on which to determine the answer to the question, “How should I vote?” They make the point that no presidential candidate is perfect, and we may not always like their personalities, but according to Michele, “We do need to go behind the curtain and determine what policies that person is going to stand for.” Matthew 10:16 says, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.
