"I know what it is to fight for what is right and I want to ensure that other conservative Christian leaders are properly equipped to withstand the harassment tactics of the extreme Left which are meant to wear Christian leaders down in the public arena. This is not just another educational organization—this is meant to be an effort to properly equip our leaders and put them into the battle to save our nation." -Senator Jason Rapert

"The concept is that we would debate and discuss issues and formulate model statutes, ordinances and resolutions based upon a Biblical worldview for introduction in cities, counties, states and nationally at the federal level," Rapert detailed in his email, according to the Arkansas Times.

He added that legislative issues will be tackled from the Judeo-Christian perspective.

The letter continues:

"Our founding fathers made four specific references to God in the Declaration of Independence referring to Him as Nature's God, our Creator, the Supreme Judge of the World and Divine Providence. The founders hinged their rationale for declaring our independence upon the clear notion that God has given every person natural rights that no man created and no man can take away. Our nation is forgetting this fundamental principle of our American Republic and it is time that we take action before it is too late."

The new association posted to Facebook Tuesday, noting its official launch.

"Today a national invitation has been sent to all 7,383 state legislators in the United States of America to join together in formation of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers," the post reads. "Our national motto is "In God We Trust" and it is time that our lawmakers start honoring the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation. Please SHARE this with all of your contacts"...
