Headed to St. Paul
Approximately 50 people from the local area traveled by charter bus from Motley to the State Capitol in St. Paul June 16, to attend the ‘Decision America Tour’ hosted by evangelist Franklin Graham. According to the Star Tribune, over 6,000 people were in attendance at the event which included prayer, music and a message. Graham (who stated he does not have hope for either the Democratic or Republican parties) urged the crowd to ‘put God back in the political process.’ He also stressed the importance of voting in November.
