Returning Florida Back to the People
and the People Back to God

Traditionally, American leaders — be it religious or political — have called a wayward nation back to God. Thus, making repentance a tradition.
Before there was a Declaration of Independence, there was a Great Awakening. George Whitefield rode from colony to colony, preaching repentance to crowds so large no church could hold them. Jonathan Edwards preached that a nation must turn to God or perish. Their voices prepared the soul of a nation that had not yet been born.
When the American cause looked lost — soldiers starving, hope fading — General Washington did not turn to strategy alone. He bent his knee.
"I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other. He was at prayer to the God of the Armies, beseeching to interpose with His Divine aid — as it was His crisis, and the cause of the country, of humanity, and of the world."
— Eyewitness account of Isaac Potts
In 1861, as the Union began to fracture, Lincoln called for a day of fasting and prayer. In 1863, with the Civil War at its darkest hour, he called again — this time with the full weight of a President who knew that only God could heal what man had broken.
What followed became a congressional mandate: every President since has been called to issue a yearly proclamation of repentance, humility, and prayer before The Almighty.

"It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."
"We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own."
"We have been recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God."
The time is upon us to return our hearts and lives to Christ Jesus.
Repentance is the only option that can heal our land and save our nation.
The pathway is simple: Humble ourselves, stop imposing wicked upon others, start imposing the good, and pray. God will deliver us from evil.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
— 2 Chronicles 7:14
This is not complicated. If we humble ourselves, if we pray, if we turn from what is wrong — God has promised to hear, to forgive, and to heal. That is what we can do together.
Dan Nokovich is a Christian, a husband, and a father of six children. He is a believer in the Bible, America, The Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution, the sons and daughters of this great republic, and The Almighty who created all things.
His message is simple: call Florida back to God and offer plans that will benefit all Floridian constituents.
Florida has recently become the beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the nation due to the incredible leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis. Daniel believes that Florida can also lead the nation in following the traditions of humility, repentance, and returning to God.
The nation responded to those great Commanders in Chief — George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. Although Daniel does not have their name recognition nor their widespread influence, the message is the same: "Repent and Return to God!"
"If we repent, God will relent. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people!"
Repentance is refusing to impose evil intentions on others and turning to express only good and right actions with merciful limits upon others. There is no shame in delivering good will and kindness to others. What is shameful is complete disregard for good and wholesome behavior.
Because you live in Florida, you have a responsibility to the rest of the nation. Will you lead others by leading you and your family back to God?
One Nation under God, returning with our family.
Make Your Intentions Known
So What's Next? From Now Until the Primary
The next three months in Florida could prove to be some of the most monumental days Florida has ever seen.
If Florida truly is a leader, we may well call this summer "The Summer of Salvation." It all depends on each one of us seizing the opportunity of a lifetime, in the lifetime of the opportunity.
What impact will you have? What size footprint will each of us leave behind us in our wake?
God help us to turn the entire world rightside up! And return to our Creator!
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." — Luke 19:10
The Heart of the Matter
Every great revival in American history began the same way: not with a political victory, not with a legislative win, but with people on their knees confessing that they had wandered far from God and needed Him to heal their land.
This is not about shame. It is about return. It is the same invitation God has extended to every generation: "Return to me, and I will return to you."
Repentance is refusing to impose evil intentions on others and turning to express only good and right actions with merciful limits upon others. There is no shame in delivering good will and kindness to others. What is shameful is complete disregard for good and wholesome behavior.
— Malachi 3:7
The future of our state is not decided in Tallahassee — it is decided in the hearts and actions of everyday Floridians. Please make your intentions known so we can lead together.
Practical plans to benefit every Floridian — rooted in stewardship, accountability, and common sense.
Clean, safe water is a basic right — not a political bargaining chip. The Pure Water Act ensures every Floridian has access to uncontaminated drinking water through rigorous standards and accountability.
Healthcare should not bankrupt families. A statewide plan providing total person healthcare for $100 per month — covering physical, mental, and preventive care for every Floridian.
Personal electricity generation plants. Forced competition. No monopoly service. Floridians deserve energy independence — not dependence on a single utility with no incentive to improve or lower costs.
For the spiritual good of Florida. Please choose those that interest you.
