In a 90-minute radio interview now available online, conservative writer and Republican strategist Michael Johns says the late Tony Snow, President George W. Bush's former Press Secretary and a former Fox News anchor, will be remembered fondly as an authentic and articulate advocate of modern conservatism, and especially for his success in communicating the vital importance of the outcome of the war in Iraq to America's global security interests.
In an interview with BlogTalkRadio's Patriot Action with Wyatt and Matt, Johns discusses Snow's positive legacy, the case for John McCain in this November's U.S. Presidential election, and how conservatives are bringing constructive solutions to the most pressing public policy challenges confronting the nation. An archived recording of the July 17, 2008 interview is now available globally at: Michael Johns interview with BlogTalkRadio's Patriot Action with Wyatt and Matt.
]]>Republican strategist and conservative writer Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, will discuss "The Conservative Path to Victory" this evening, July 17, 2008, at 8pm EDT/5pm PDT, on BlogTalkRadio's "Patriot Action with Wyatt and Matt." The broadcast will be available globally through live streaming and archived audio from the show's broadcast page, available at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/patriotaction.
Johns will discuss his thesis that conservative policy ideas are beginning to gain momentum in the battle of ideas because they are thoughtful, detailed and proven remedies to the various challenges confronting the nation. Conservatives, he argues, are offering bold and promising solutions in the global war on terror, the mounting energy crisis, excessive governmental taxation and regulation in the American economy, the crisis in American public education, the need for expanded choice and access in American health care, and other urgent policy priorities.
Johns has said that he believes that, over the past several weeks, the American electorate is beginning to awaken to the fact that the most thoughtful solutions to America's policy challenges are coming from conservatives. He has further said that he believes this September's Republican National Convention will further highlight the dynamism of these solutions and the fact that it is only a liberal stronghold on the U.S. Congressional leadership that is prohibiting many of these initiatives from being rapidly enacted.
Johns has 20 years of industry, governmental and public policy experience, having served in the White House, the United States Senate, and for the former Governor of New Jersey and one of the world's premiere public policy research institutes. He has written on public policy issues for The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, National Review, Policy Review and other publications and has discussed these topics on CNBC, C-SPAN, Fox Morning News, PBS, and other television and radio media. He also is the author of an influential conservative public policy blog.

]]>I have been looking through my personal journal over the past few months, since I have entered the world of blogging. Certainly it has been a blessing, far beyond anything I expected, and it has also been a challenge as I have interacted with those who oppose the message of God’s Word.
I thought I would share some of my entries in the hope that it may encourage other Christians to step out and share their faith. Some of these entries are direct from Scripture on a day when I needed it, and some are from writings by Oswald Chambers.
· Jeremiah 20:9 “His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones. I was weary of holding it back and I could not.”
· 2 Timothy 1:2 “The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.”
· Jeremiah 10:23 “O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.”
· Oswald Chambers – “There is no responsibility on you for the work; the only responsibility you have is to keep in living constant touch with God, and to see that you allow nothing to hinder your cooperation with Him.”
· Oswald Chambers – “God engineers everything; wherever He puts us our one great aim is to pour out our whole hearted devotion to Him in that particular work.”
· Oswald Chambers – “Spiritually we cannot measure our life by success, but only by what God pours through us; and we cannot measure that at all.”
· Acts 18:10 – The Lord said to Paul, “Dismiss your fears; go on speaking and do not give up, I am with you and no one shall attack you or injure you; for I have many people in this city.”
· Acts 11:23 – About Barnabas - “He encouraged them all to remain with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.”
· Acts 4:20b Weymouth – “As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about.”

]]>Conservative writer, Republican strategist and industry executive Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, will join American Civil Rights Institute Chairman Ward Connerly tomorrow evening in Scottsdale, Arizona to lend support to Arizona's Civil Rights Initiative, which would ban gender and racial-based considerations in the state's governmental hiring and in state university admissions considerations. They will speak before Phoenix's Coalition for a Conservative Majority (CCM) at 7pm PDT at Starfire at the Scottsdale Country Club. The event is open to CCM members and media.
Connerly, a leading advocate for the removal of gender and racial preferences in hiring and university admission processes, is nationally recognized for his successful leadership behind California's Proposition 209, a successful statewide ballot initiative which, in 1996, amended California's state constitution to prohibit gender and racial-based considerations in California's public hiring. He also helped lead a similarly successful amendment to Michigan's state constitution in 2006.
In addition to his appearance tomorrow evening in Scottsdale, Arizona, Johns will appear on Sirius Satellite's "Blog Bunker" show at 5pm EDT on Tuesday June 17, 2008 to discuss the national Presidential election and related topics.

]]>Faith - I often took it for granted! Is that true of you too?
It certainly is important to move in faith nowadays ~
with all that is happening in this life.
Without faith we cannot please God. Lately I understand that more than ever!
Keep the faith! It will bring great rewards. Hope you enjoy my painting with song/prayer.
Blessings to you friends,

Conservative writer, Republican strategist and industry executive Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, will discuss presumptive Republican nominee John McCain's recently announced national goals for the first term of his Presidency in an interview tomorrow, May 20, 2008, at 5:30pm EDT on Sirius Satellite's Indie Talk Station 110. Live audio of the interview will be available globally.
Given as part of a May 15, 2008 speech in Columbus, Ohio, McCain spelled out specific goals for the first term of his Presidency, including, in foreign affairs, substantial progress in the war against al-Qaeda and other terrorist elements in Afghanistan and Iraq and ending Sudan's bloody ethnic genocide in Darfur. At home, goals included expanding economic growth and access to quality health care, reforming America's complex and punitive tax system, eliminating Washington's wasteful earmark and other spending, significantly reducing American dependence on foreign petroleum, vastly improving the quality of American education and other important national objectives.
Johns will also address mounting speculation over selection of a Republican Vice Presidential running mate, which purportedly includes a short list of roughly 20 names. McCain has stated that he expects to announce his running mate selection before the Republican National Convention convenes on September 1, 2008 in Minneapolis.
