I did it for them” Roanoke. “Guns!” The driver of the red car slowly driving by Roanoke Firearms does not stop to shouts his support for John Markell, the shop owner.

Interview of Richard Cizik, vice-president for governmental affairs at National Association of Evangelicals (NAE): “I have my opponents. It should not be an oddity for an Evangelical to fight for the environment. It should be a normal function of the average believer.
