Kathy,

Six days ago and just hours after the crushing political defeat known as the 2012 elections, I wrote a letter to Grassfire team members that has already gone further than I ever imagined.

In that letter, I openly shared how the Election Day defeat left me feeling like a political "exile" in my own land. And yet, I found hope in a 2,500-year-old letter to exiles written by the prophet Jeremiah that got me out of bed early the next morning and ready to take on the challenges to come.

That letter had a clear message to exiles of all ages: Build! Plant! Bless! And Pray!

I have heard directly from hundreds of patriots and indirectly from thousands more who said that letter moved them from depression to hope. Immediately after the election, they wanted to "pack it in" and just survive the next four years under Obama. But after reading the letter, they are ready to build.

I am still in a state of "stun" as I watch our nation being thrown into what seems to be a dictatorship arena with the re-election of Obama. I have been moping around the house today, so gloomy and doomed in my mind as how my/our futures will be affected. However, the email I have just received from Steve TOTALLY lifted my spirits. --Monica, Tennessee

When I awoke today, I was ready to rid myself of my computer, turn off the television and simply hibernate. But now, although I have reached my eightieth year, I will not be smothered. I will continue to build, to plant, to bless and to pray. Thank you for helping me when I had given up hope. --Dale, Texas

Of all the emails I received today, in an effort to comfort our wounds of defeat, YOURS was by far the most wonderful. I am now feeling more encouraged to continue moving forward without fear. --Connie, California

I could go on and on. Please note that I only take credit for delivering the message. The message itself is timeless and true -- spanning generations and reaching right to our current state of affairs.

+ + Glenn Beck Reads My "Letter to Exiles"

Then we heard that Glenn Beck read nearly the entire letter verbatim on his radio show, which is simulcast on his television network.

Beck didn’t just read the email -- he read it with passion and with a purpose. After reading the letter, Beck said:

“If that is not one of the most profound things you have heard if you are looking for a plan ... Exile. Build. Have children. Marry them off. Strengthen, strengthen, strengthen. And be a blessing to others.” --Glenn Beck

I'd like you to see the video of Glenn Beck reading the "Letter to Exiles." It's a powerful presentation by a man who truly understands the importance of building during this time of exile.

+ + The Rest of the Story

It's clear that this message to "build" is a vitally important one for us political exiles as we move forward into the second Obama term.

And there's actually more to the "story" that needs to be told. In the coming days, I'll share additional information about how you and I can truly thrive during this and any other time of personal or political exile.

For now, I encourage you to watch Glenn Beck reading my "Letter to Exiles"<http://www.grassrootsaction.com/r.asp?U=169750&CID=98&RID=37415893> and use the "share" tools below or on that Web page to encourage your family and friends with this message.
