Street preacher set to challenge powers that be

A street preacher who earlier claimed he was harassed by police for speaking about the Gospel on public streets has announced his candidacy to be mayor, so he can work on some of the problems he's seen.

"I would require that the city police go through a mandatory course on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and a course training them on what their actual legal authority is and training them on when it is proper to use force to apprehend a suspect…" Daniel Guyeski said in a campaign statement released to WND.

Now Guyeski is launching his campaign.

He said his agenda would include addressing faith:

"As a Bible believing Christian I firmly believe that there is a God and that we are all created in his image and I firmly believe that as individuals and as a community and as a nation that we are accountable to God for how we live and act," he said.

"As mayor I would fight to preserve our Christian heritage and speak out on issues of local importance and take a stand against the liquor and pornography industries coming into our beautiful city. I would protect the churches from unlawful taxing and interference with worship and other activities and I would protect the right of street preachers and evangelists to share their faith freely in public," he said.

He also cited his allegiance to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
