Prayer Warriors; or any American who wants to change the course of history;
We can all see that our nation is in trouble - we suffer a moral crisis, which is leading this great and blessed nation into a downward spiral to destruction. We urge everyone to join in a national effort to change the course of our future by picking up a rosary to join in prayer for a 54 day rosary novena. Three, nine day novenas of petition (27 days), followed by 3 nine day novenas of thanksgiving (27 days). We need to elect good leadership that will guide us back to righteousness and good; prosperity and grace; to fulfill God's will as a great nation, under God - indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The novena will continue a few days after the election to remain in vigil for the military ballots.
The power of the rosary has been known throughout history to turn defeats into victory! See and read:

It is asked for those participating to go to sacramental confession as you begin, attend Holy Mass as often as possible, fast on Weds and Fridays, and try to give up something during the novena, as is done during lent.
Global peace is in great danger at this time. In Our Lady's messages to Ivan, she has asked repeatedly, pleading for people to pray for peace:

America faces new healthcare laws that will expand abortion widely, and will strip this nation of it's religious freedom. There is time to stop this legislation from implementation, only if the elections favor pro-life candidates, and conservatives who will overturn the healthcare mandates.
This election is paramount, and peace is threatened in the world as never before. The elections are tough because we have mainstream media skewing the truth, misleading millions on whom to vote for. In America we have learned of corruption at so many levels in our government and it's leaders it has many hearts deeply disturbed. It is becoming evident that world powers are poised to take control and individual liberty and freedom is profoundly threatened. We simply must implore God to help us. He is our only hope. We have a wealthy Father with great power and glory. He knows what we face, and He knows we cannot do it alone. Let us use the tools we have been given, and be the David facing Goliath - with great faith!
Emmanuel - God is with us!
A Prayer for our Nation's Election
O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord, Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank You for the privilege Of being able to organize ourselves politically And of knowing that political loyalty Does not have to mean disloyalty to You.
We thank You for Your law, Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged And recognized as higher than any human law.
We thank You for the opportunity that this election year puts before us, To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, But to influence countless others to vote, And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, Their response to You requires that they be politically active.
Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth; That the same eyes that read Your Word Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot, And that they do not cease to be Christians When they enter the voting booth.
Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice, To the sanctity of marriage and the family, To the dignity of each individual human life, And to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives Begin, And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today That we are citizens of Your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed To being faithful citizens on earth.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
