Things got pretty ugly in Oregon recently, where protesters occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for 41 days led by Cliven and Ammon Bundy. The group was protesting federal government control over land in the western United States where cattle freely grazed. By the end, only four protesters remained … David Fry, Jeff Banta, Sean Anderson, and his wife Sandy.
Then, a little over a week ago, Franklin Graham (#15 FCIL), son of famous evangelical preacher Billy Graham (#11 FCAL), posted on his Facebook page that he was heading to Oregon at the request of the wildlife refuge and the FBI. “Last night I was on the phone with them for several hours, was able to have prayer with them, and they have said they would come out today,” Franklin wrote. He had apparently spoken with the last occupiers every day for a whole week from an FBI checkpoint.
