Paul R. LePage, Governor of Maine, Declares A Day of Prayer and Fasting for Our Nation, August 6, 2011
Here you can read the proclamation from Paul R. LePage, Governor of Maine. He has accepted the call from Rick Perry, Governor of Texas to declare August 6, 2011 a day of prayer for our nation. I love all the historic quotes he lists in the proclamation!
Abraham Lincoln said, "be dedicated to the great task remaining before us —that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
