Coral Ridge Ministries Challenges President, Pelosi, and Reid With “Economic Manifesto” on March 1 Nationwide TV Broadcast



FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. (February 26, 2009) –Christian broadcaster Coral Ridge Ministries urges President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a March 1 Coral Ridge Hour TV broadcast http://www.coralridge.org/medialibrary/default.aspx?mediaID=CRH0909_F to adopt biblical principles that will restore America to a free market economy.



On the award-winning weekly program, host and senior producer Dr. Jerry Newcombe unveils an “Economic Manifesto” to be sent to congressional leaders and to President Obama in the coming weeks. The Manifesto outlines seven Bible-based essential truths to help safeguard America’s economy from bankruptcy.



The document calls for the “nation’s disastrous economic policies to be reversed” and urges America’s leaders to “seek to put a final end to the bankrupting of America.” Television viewers may access and sign the Economic Manifesto on Coral Ridge Ministries’ website at https://store.coralridge.org/Economicmanifesto.aspx.



The March 1 Coral Ridge Hour also features a message preached by Coral Ridge Ministries’ founder Dr. D. James Kennedy on “The Christian View of Economics.” Guests on the broadcast include Dr. Walter E. Williams, professor of economics at George Mason University; Lawrence W. Reed, president of the Foundation for Economic Education; Gary DeMar, president of Christian worldview ministry American Vision; and Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, author and national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.

Contrary to widespread belief, “The current crisis in the economy is not the fault of freedom or free markets or limited government or deregulation,” says Lawrence Reed on the broadcast. “It is the direct result of the massive intervention by the federal government into the financial system.”



“Stocks are tumbling, unemployment is up, and Congress is mortgaging our future to right the ship,” says Dr. Newcombe on the broadcast. “These are uncertain times, but one thing remains unshaken—the Word of God which has plenty to say about our current crisis.”
