    TEXT: A heartfelt message from the Governor of Louisiana

Bobby Jindal: You know as many of us survey our country today, we're worried about what we see.

We see a weak economy...

Many of us worry about whether our children will inherit the same opportunities we inherited from our parents...

We worry about whether they will be able to pursue the American Dream...

Too many think that if we just elect the right politicians, pass the right law, pass the right policies, that will fix all that ails America.

But what we really need in these United States is a spiritual revival.

Winston Churchill once said about the American people, you can trust the Americans to do the right thing after they've exhausted all the alternatives.

Well we have exhausted the alternatives.  It is time to turn back to God.  That is why I'm so excited to invite you to come in January, come to The Response here at the Pete Maravich Center on the LSU Campus in Baton Rouge.

It'll be a time of prayer, of fasting, of repentance, of celebration.

It's time to light the spark that starts a spiritual revival that will put these United States of America back on the right path.

Notes:  This event, hosted by Gov. Jindal and paid for by American Family Association, echoes "The Response" prayer rally held Aug. 6, 2011 in Houston, Texas with Gov. Rick Perry.  It is occurring on the same day as the Iowa Freedom Summit, a big gathering in Des Moines featuring many potential 2016 candidates.

The Response Jan. 24, 2015 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pete Maravich Assembly Center Baton Rouge, Louisiana

"America is in the midst of a historic crisis. We are besieged by financial debt, terrorism, and a multitude of natural disasters. Our nation is faced with fatherless homes, an epidemic of drugs and crime in our inner cities, a saturation of pornography in our homes, abortion, and racism.

"Governor Bobby Jindal is inviting the nation to a time of worship, prayer, fasting and repentance on January 24, 2015 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is the time for Christians to come together to call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles, and thank Him for the blessings of freedom we so richly enjoy.

"A historic crisis facing our nation and threatening our future demands a historic response of prayer and fasting. This is our response — to call on Jesus on behalf of America, that He might hear our cry and that we would see a revolution of righteousness in this country."
