Do you have an opinion on who should be our next president?<\/p>\n

Of course you do.<\/p>\n

Well, I want to hear from you.<\/p>\n

As I announced last week I will be hosting a series of guest posts along with a synchroblog October 22nd-26th<\/a> which will focus on the always controversial topic of which candidate Christians \u201cshould\u201d vote for.<\/p>\n

Each day that week we\u2019ll hear from a different guest poster as to why they think Romney, Obama, or a third-candidate is the person Christians around the country should be voting for.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll even hear from a poster who argues that \u00a0Christians shouldn\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n

But I can\u2019t do this without your help.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m still looking for guest posters willing to argue their case for Romeny and for a third-party candidate. So, if you\u2019re interested\u00a0send over your guest post submission.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also looking for synchrobloggers for each day of the series.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with a synchroblog it\u2019s pretty straight forward. Since there\u2019s never enough space on one blog for everyone to post their thoughts, if you join the synchroblog, you\u2019ll post your argument for (or against) the candidate being discussed that day, send me the link<\/a>, and I\u2019ll attach it to the guest post here each day.<\/p>\n

The more people we get involved, the more fun it will be.<\/p>\n

So, even if you don\u2019t have a blog, but know someone who does, or if you\u2019re not a writer, but know someone who is and think they\u2019d be great for this discussion, let them know about our week of \u201cJesus Politics\u201d and ask them to weigh in on their blog, or send over your guest post submission.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are interested, or know somebody who might be, go here for all details regarding the guest posts and synchroblog setup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ONE IMPORTANT UPDATE<\/strong>: I\u2019m extending the deadline to turn in your guest post submission to MONDAY, OCTOBER 15th. I will now announce the roster of guest posters on the following FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19th.<\/p>\n

Also, if you are interested in getting involved, even just to comment on other people\u2019s post,\u00a0please help spread the word about the series by sharing the badge below<\/strong>\u00a0on your blog starting today to help get the word out, attach it with your synchroblog when your post goes live, or share it with friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have any additional questions, please don\u2019t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n

It should be a lively discussion. I can\u2019t wait to hear what you all have to say.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grace and peace,<\/p>\n

Zack Hunt<\/p>\n
