The choices voters make in November will have a direct impact on critical issues like the following:   -The next President is likely to appoint from three to five Supreme Court Justices. -Preaching God's word could become a hate crime. -Christian ministries and other employers may be forced to hire people whose lifestyles are contrary to God’s design and their beliefs. - God's design for marraige may be trampled by the courts and through legislation, opening the door for homosexual marriage nationwide.
