April 9, 2008Huckabee to discuss religion and politics April 15
Huckabee Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and Republican presidential candidate, will give a talk, "In God We Trust: The Role of Faith in Politics," Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. in Bailey Hall. The talk is free and open to the public, but tickets are required and available at the Willard Straight Hall ticket office. Huckabee's talk will be followed by a 45-minute question-and-answer session.
Student organizers of his visit say Huckabee will discuss how his faith has shaped his views on social issues and American foreign policy, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As a presidential candidate, Huckabee brought the subject of religion and politics to the forefront of many primary debates. Laughed off by some liberal and even conservative pundits, Huckabee found an audience and a constituency during his dark horse run.
In an essay on his campaign Web site, Huckabee stated that "We should not banish religion from the public square, but should guarantee access to all voices and views. We should share and debate our faith, but never seek to impose it. When discussing faith and politics, we should honor the 'candid' in candidate - I have much more respect for an honest atheist than a disingenuous believer."
The event is sponsored by the Cornell College Republicans, with donations from the Triad Foundation, Young America's Foundation, Cornell Hillel and the Ben and Rhoda Belnick Fund for Government Studies.

How do I "tag" back?
@Noelle_of_Israel - Hi, I am not sure what you mean by tag back. If you mean reply all you have to do is click on reply next to the post you wish to reply too. Hope this helps.
Thanks for leaving a comment! It's good to know that there are still people who care about godliness. Recently I've been visiting Huckabee's website rather frequently and the comments there have been so encouraging (I would've commented there myself by now, but I'm a pretty shy person who tends to have a hard time figuring out exactly what to say). I can hardly wait for April 15 when the new mikehuckabee.com is unveiled.
I'll definitely be praying for the upcoming election and for the nation's future (and I encourage others reading this to do likewise). I know God is at work and what He starts He always finishes. Hallelujah!
