Md. group still working on Obama-Limbaugh summit
President Barack Obama didn’t visit Rush Limbaugh in the hospital, but the Pray at the Pump Movement isn’t giving up on the idea of bringing the two together.
On Wednesday, founder Rocky Twyman says, group members will hold a picket outside the White House urging Obama “to drop his political pride and visibly reach out to Rush Limbaugh, the new head of the Republican Party and one of his greatest enemies.”
“This peaceful act could best be accomplished through sending a belated get well card, making a phone call and organizing a peace prayer Summit at the White House,” the group says in a release. “Since Obama is the Nobel Peace Prize Winner for 2009, these prayer warriors think that such a summit could help promote bipartisanship that is so sorely needed in our country at this time.”
The group is also concerned about Obama’s smoking.
The picket is scheduled for 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday outside the White House. Members will be holding “impromptu prayer sessions” with visitors to the White House and entertaining with “special music from local artists.”
Passersby will also be asked to sign a book “pledging to pray to the God of their choice every night at sundown to heal the wounds between these two leaders who impact the lives of millions daily.”
More from the Pray at the Pump Movement:
PRESIDENT OBAMA IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO WISH GOOD HEALTH FOR RUSH LIMBAUGH, ONE OF YOUR GREATEST ENEMIES. ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD THAT YOU BELIEVE IN, THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF HEALTHCARE, PAPM URGES PRESIDENT OBAMA TO SEEK HELP FROM GOD FOR HIS SOMKING HABIT. TO CONTINUE THIS ADDICTION IS DETRIMENTAL TO HIS HEALTH AND MAY CUT HIS TIME SHORT WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS. WE WANT HIM TO BE IN TOP NOTCH HEALTH AS HE TACKLES THE NATION'S MOST CRITICAL PROBLEMS. WE SUGGEST THAT HE LOOK INTO THE GREAT SEVEN DAY PLAN TO STOP SMOKING SPONSORED BY SHADY GROVE HOSPITAL.
WE ALSO ADVISE HE AND LIMBAUGH TO FAST AND PRAY JUST LIKE THE PROPHETS OF OLD DID WHEN THERE WAS A CRISIS IN THE LAND. WE SHOULD ALSO NOTE THE 21 DAY FAST THAT DR. JENTEZEN FRANKLIN, AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, FASTING USES. THE BOOK GIVES ACCOUNTS OF MIRACLES THAT HAVE COME TO THIS CONGREGATION FROM USING THE FASTING PRINCIPLE. WE WOULD HOPE THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH WOULD AT LEAST SEND A CARD TO OBAMA IF HE WERE SUDDENLY HOSPITALIZED FOR ILLNESS. WE CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE TO RUSH LIMBAUGH AND PRESIDENT OBAMA THAT PRAYER AND NOT PARTY BICKERING AND HARSH RHETORIC IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF AMERICA'S PROBLEMS. PRAYING IS SO SIMPLE, BUT POWERFUL. GOD IS ALWAYS LISTENING. WE ARE BAFFLED THAT THESE TWO LEADERS DO NOT USE THIS SIMPLE WEAPON MORE.
Comments
Mr. Twyman seems like a glory seeker to me. Why did Andy Warhol do screen prints and paintings of celebrities? Because he knew it would draw attention and he would sell more works and make more money. Frankly, I would rather look at a Warhol screenprint than hear what Mr. Twyman has to say. And Warhol was gay. He did go to mass everyday though, and he met John Paul II. At least he produced things. All Mr. Twyman seems to be producing is "look at me."
