As America approaches a most critical election where the sanctity of unborn life, religious freedom, border security, support for Israel, and protecting children from mutilating surgeries all hang in the balance, a recent survey shows an estimated 32 million Christians who are regular churchgoers are unlikely to vote on Tuesday.
The survey, led by veteran researcher Dr. George Barna at Arizona Christian University, explained the reasons for the sheer number of potential abstentions range from general political disinterest, distaste for both major-party candidates, dissatisfaction in the quality of government, and the widespread expectation that illegal activity will corrupt the election results.
Regardless of the reasons, the study revealed that large numbers of pastors and churches have “distanced themselves” from the election and are not even engaging their congregants on the key societal issues they want to hear about.
However, Barna projected that if pastors simply encouraged their congregants to vote, an additional five million Christians will likely do so. By “that simple exhortation,” the study noted, pastors “could change the outcome of the election by simply doing their job and getting congregants to fulfill one of their chief duties as an American citizen.”
Last Chance, Pastors!
Barna noted the overall gap in the contested 2020 election was seven million votes, but the gaps in nine key swing states totaled just 587,000 votes. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
