My Time in Washington, D.C. July 2011
by Rev. Anthony Harper/IMCNews Publisher
I had a free Southwest Airlines plane ticket to travel to Washington D.C. leaving Tuesday July 12 and returning Wednesday July 20. Here below are some pictures at the pro Israel rally 'Christians United for Israel' with Glenn Beck as keynote speaker and of my time with President Obama and news reporters in the White House Press conferences July 13-15, 2011. Click here to view the Christians United for Israel web site (photos by Paul Wharton Photography).
 
What an experience in Washinton, D.C. I had with the help of GOD and many others! It was an honor to just be admitted into the White House Press conferences and I hope one day soon, I will get my interview or question with the President in person.
Photo above: Photo I took of President Obama while as a news reporter for InterMountain Christian News on Friday July 15, 2011 while attending a White House Press Conference in the James S. Brady Press Room.
You can check out the following White Press Conferences video links where I recently attended (was in Press Conference below July 15, 2011 with President Obama).

Here below is the most recent question I sent to President Obama (see formal White House Correspondence to my previous questions below):
"Mr. President, what do you think of Texas Governor Perry's solution to solve our national debt crisis and bring peace to our nation? Governor Perry recently called for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting August 6 at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. Governor Perry and many Christians in our nation believe that our current debt crisis, natural disasters, terrorism and other crises in our nation are due to the sins of our nation (i.e. killing children in abortion, homosexual marriage, dividing Israel and supporting Palestinian statehood, etc.) and, that we as a nation need to repent of our sins and obey GOD. Click on the following link to read more about Texas Governor Perry's National Day of Prayer and Fasting event called 'The Response.' http://theresponseusa.com
Would you be willing to address these issues for our nation in an interview with me or another Christian newspaper publisher?"
