“I am giving my support to Ron Paul as he seeks to be the next
President of the United States. Dr. Paul
has shown his support of life for all unborn and to all living to old
age. He is only for marriage of one man and one woman and would
enforce the federal Defense of Marriage Act,” said Pastor Bandel.
“Dr. Paul
has the best foreign policy of any candidate seeking the office, namely
one that ends interfering in the business of other countries, brings
our soldiers home to protect our country, and pays our domestic debts
using money we currently send around the world,” said Bandel.
Pastor Bandel added that, in making his endorsement, he was acting as a
private citizen and not necessarily speaking on behalf of Nora Springs
Christian Church congregants.
“We appreciate Pastor Bandel’s endorsement, as it adds to the growing
number of religious, civic, and political leaders whose endorsement
brings us closer to a strong top-three caucus finish,” said Ron Paul
2012 Iowa Chairman Drew Ivers.
Mike Heath, Iowa State Director for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, is
visiting Christian churches across Iowa to do outreach and discuss Ron
Paul’s
candidacy. To date, Heath has visited 256 houses of worship
across the
state toward that end. Heath is an ordained Christian minister.
If ministering in Iowa, local pastors interested in discussing an
endorsement are invited to email the Iowa Director of Voter Outreach,
