All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society. Means and methods used for the improvement of society and the establishment of righteousness among men can be truly and permanently helpful only when they are rooted in the regeneration of the individual by the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Christ, Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography. We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and His truth.

America's Freedom Agenda
The American Freedom Agenda?s (AFA) mission is twofold: the enactment of a cluster of statutes that would restore the Constitution's checks and balances as enshrined by the Founding Fathers; and, making the subject a staple of political campaigns and of foremost concern to Members of Congress and to voters and educators. Especially since 9/11, the executive branch has chronically usurped legislative or judicial power, and has repeatedly claimed that the President is the law. The constitutional grievances against the White House are chilling, reminiscent of the kingly abuses that provoked the Declaration of Independence.

I was born and grew up in Berwyn, IL until the age of 13 when I was taken from my family by the Department of Children and Family Services. I was placed in different group homes around the Chicago area particularly being with an agency called Maryville Academy until the age of 21 and to this day continue in school on a scholarship from this organization through graduation from college.
Military
I spent two years in the Air Force ROTC program at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The first year I was a cadet and the second I was a special student. While a cadet I held three corps positions: publications representative, military ball representative, and supply representative. The discipline and core values I learned during training have been helpful in accomplishing other goals.( I also joined the Arnold Air Society Scobee Squadron and earned the rank of C/1Lt and was elected the Public Affairs Officer. Being inducted into this organization was a life changing experience because I took the oath of office during the induction ceremony and took it to heart.
I, Judith Marie Kratochvil, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
This oath is solemn and I take it seriously in my daily life.
Faith
There was still a missing link, which was found when I committed to Jesus. I converted from Catholic to Southern Baptist in January 2007 after being baptized and joining the Immanuel Baptist Church.
I take the values I learned in ROTC, oath, and church covenant seriously in my daily life.
Political Experience
I have a wide range of political experience. I began my political odyssey began in 1998 when I interned for Senator Richard J. Durbin in his Chicago Office. Here I learned the skills of basic constituent casework. I performed reception duties, maintained the press clip file, correspondence, and helped the staff. I worked closely with the veteran's affairs representative and the press secretary.
My first campaign was volunteering for Paul Vallas. I helped with the voter database. In 2004 I volunteered for the campaigns of John Edwards and Dan Hynes. I traveled to Iowa and Wisconsin for Edwards. I attended the 2004 College Democrat Convention in Boston and was a member of the DePaul College Democrats.I discovered that I was in the wrong party after returning from Boston. I did not believe in the Democrat Party or the candidate they selected, John Kerry. I am campaigning online for the reelection of Sen. Lindsey Graham and Mike Huckabee for President.
I joined the College Republicans soon after returning after discovering Sen. Lindsey Graham (see Sen. Graham: A Light of Inspiration) while watching C-SPAN. He spoke ideas that I agreed with and I went a volunteered for the Cook County Republican Party and also interned for the party. I volunteered for the campaign of Dan Rutherford for Secretary of State. I currently volunteer for the Heartland Institute.
Planned Move
I have lived in Chicago all my life and will move first to Springfield, IL for graduate school and then to South Carolina afterwards. This lag of at least five years will gove me time to explore South Carolina and visit a few times so I can decide where I want to live.

Hey, rookie Gov. Sarah Palin did a great job against a seasoned guy like Biden who's been in Washington soo long. She held her own and then some, don't 'ya think?
Judy, you ought to write a blog about your take on what's going on with the economy, what caused these crashes. I have some opinions on part of it, but I'd like to hear what you think.
Have you thought about going out to The Call in DC? It's an amazing event (went to a smaller one in TN), and one that many believe can birth real change-where change begins. Last time they had one out in DC, there were like 400,000 people attending. I'm working on getting a bunch of people to go together, carpool- really need another female for the group. Well let me know. (I am planning on commenting on your comment about Hillary & Obama, but first I was looking up some sources).
