Excerpt:   75% of Americans claim to be Christians, yet less than half vote. If they voted using their Biblical principles, there would not be any culture war in this country. But where can Americans find Biblically honoring information about the candidates, since over 75% of the media elites are against Christian principles. Perhaps this will help. You can download this webpage as a PDF version (SureBolt.com/2018N.pdf). 

Who writes the news? Who writes the history? The majority always controls the news and the history books. Yet Jesus said the majority would wind up in hell (wide gate verses narrow gate, many verses few, Matt 7:13-14). So why do we expect the majority to tell us the truth? If you want to see quotes from the media admitting their anti-Christian biases and also get links to more reliable news sources on specific subjects, see this link, SureBolt.com/News.pdf.  If you would like to encourage others to vote, see this flyer called “God said Vote!” at SureBolt.com/Vote.pdf

  George Barna and William Paul McKay published Vital Signs: Emerging Social Trends and the Future of American Christianity in 1984.  They report from a 1983 study, which showed that 75 percent of television executives claimed to be politically “liberal.”  Only 7 percent attended church regularly and 44 percent stated that they had no religious affiliation.  80 percent stated that homosexuality was not wrong.  51 percent did not think adultery was wrong.  A whopping 97 percent approved of abortion. One can only wonder if those statistics are even worse 35 years later.  … (this paragraph is just an excerpt from this link, SureBolt.com/News.pdf)

My favorite issue is not politics, but using science to prove the Bible is from God (the Bible has a Miraculous Source).  If you would like to see the proof and many famous scientists who defended the Bible, go to MiraculousBible.org or ApologeticsPress.org.  I am an electrical engineer at Kennedy Space Center.
