Billy Graham’s son Franklin is nearing the end of a “Decision America” barnstorming tour through all 50 state capitals. He exhorted more than eight-thousand people at a statehouse prayer rally to vote for candidates who will uphold Biblical principles.
Graham declares Christians have a responsibility to vote, and to pray about which candidate should receive their support. Graham explicitly declined to endorse anyone, though he praised Indiana Governor Mike Pence after the rally as “a fine individual,” and advised voters unhappy with both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to look at their running mates.
Graham said he has “zero faith” in either the Democratic or Republican Party. He criticizes the inability of opposing parties in Congress to even talk to each other.
Graham urged the crowd to pledge to not only vote, but run for office themselves, starting with local governments and school boards.
