A Bill of charges was filed this week with the Tennessee House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary exposing the cover-up of the abduction and torture of a Christian missionary in Monroe County, Tennessee. Documents revealed after the abduction and torture that public officials including the Sheriff and Sheriff Department employees were actively involved in the hate-based agenda by covering up the fire bombing of a mission vehicle and abduction and further attempts to silence the Christian missionary.
Their plots and schemes failed according to Missionary George Raudenbush. "I gave my life to Jesus when I was thirteen. God has always been there through out my entire life. I have no animosity towards my captors, it's part of my faith; I know God did intervene, saving my life. It's very sad to know that public officials were involved in my abduction. It was a malicious betrayal of the community's trust that's now in the hands of the Congress, which has the power to investigate and try these individuals for their crimes against society."
George Raudenbush is a spokesman for Christian Citizens against Corruption a state representative for FIJA Full Informed Juries Association and National Missions Coordinator for Appalachian Youth Missions.
Every American citizen is endowed with an inherent right and responsibility to hold public officials accountable. For further information visit: www.tnccc.com.
