The 1 April 1992 broadcast of NPR's Talk of the Nation
revealed that Richard Nixon was running for President
again. His campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything
wrong, and I won't do it again." The announcement
contained audio clips of Nixon delivering his speech.
Listeners, called the show expressing shock & outrage.
Many of the calls coming from those that had voted for &
blindly followed Nixon before.

Who do you follow? Politically, spiritually? Do you know
what they believe? People in the time of Christ were faced
with this same dilemma. Gamaliel, a well­respected teacher
of the law told the leaders of that time, “Men of Israel, take
care what you propose to do with these men. For some
time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a
group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he
was killed & his followers were dispersed and came to
nothing.

After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the
census and drew away some people after him; he too
perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.
So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these
men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it
will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to
overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting
against God.” So which is it, do you follow the plans of man
or the plans of God on this day?
