I am the founder and president of an organization called Christians Reviving America's Values which is also known as CRAVE. I often repeat CRAVE's slogan, "We CRAVE revival in our churches and the restoration of Godly principles in America."

CRAVE is a national, not for profit organization that has always believed in getting things done for the Lord. CRAVE has always been concerned about producing results and we don't do things just for the sake of doing something. In addition to doing a lot of church related things CRAVE also is involved in fighting for your Christian Rights.

In early 2008 God gave me the idea for a special project of CRAVE called Patriotic Pastors. Patriotic Pastors are a group of pastors who are tired of what is currently going on in America. We believe in Christian Unity and strongly believe it is our job to teach Christians to stand-up for their rights.

Patriotic Pastors slogan is, "We expect a government founded on the principles of God, not on the lies of the Devil." There are currently about 140 members nationwide who make up Patriotic Pastors.

In 2008 we also began a special project of CRAVE called Don Swarthout Ministries. This ministry is based upon the idea of preaching a simple gospel and the teachings found in Ezekiel. These teachings tell us to warn our nation, to warn the wicked people and to inform the people about what God is saying to them.

In order to fulfill all of these roles we are Watchmen to our nation, Evangelists to the lost and Advocates to you here on the earth and to your elected officials in Washington DC.

In 2007 CRAVE and I began a project to represent the people of America in the city of Washington DC. We are traveling to Washington DC regularly to talk to our Senators, Congressmen and other officials.

In 2007 CRAVE and I reached a milestone when we were interviewed and heard by radio audiences in all 50 of the United States. We have also been interviewed on various television programs including Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rod Parsley, Hal Lindsay, Daystar Television, Sky Angel, CBN, TBN, LeSea Television just to name a few.

In 2007 CRAVE and I sponsored a rally in Cleveland, Ohio for establishing Christian Values in America. There were more than ten speakers over a two day period and the event was very successful.

During 2007 CRAVE, and I also sponsored an event against the San Diego Padres who were sponsoring a gay event on the same day as a family event was scheduled at their ballpark.

During 2007 CRAVE and I sent out more than 20 press releases to the top media outlets in America. As a result of these press releases CRAVE's President, Pastor Don Swarthout was interviewed on radio stations in all 50 states in America. This has been a very efficient way to deliver our message about reviving America's values.

In 2007 CRAVE and I undertook 5 major goals including being a Watchman over our nation. As a Watchman we warned America about Radical Islam and Illegal Immigration. CRAVE also asked for Public Hearings into the ACLU's activities and went to various places in America Preaching a Simple Gospel to the world.

In 2007 CRAVE and I donated Ten Commandment yard signs to be distributed around the Cross City, Florida area. Cross City is being sued by the ACLU over a Ten Commandments monument which was donated by a local citizen and placed at their County Court House.

In 2006 CRAVE and I sponsored a Religious Leadership Summit in Sacramento, California which brought together several Pastors, Lawyers and Patriotic Speakers. These people came from across the nation to speak at a meeting held in a large church. In addition to the Religious Leadership Summit we also held a 7 Day Tent Revival on the grounds of the California State Capital.

In 2006 CRAVE and I sent out approximately 15 Press Releases to help educate the American people about news items that have not been reported in the mainstream media.

One CRAVE's major goals for 2006 was to Expose the ACLU for what they really stand for. CRAVE is leading the charge by calling for the U.S. Senate to hold hearings into the ACLU's activities and to expose the ACLU for receiving your Tax Dollars in the form of huge settlements paid to them whenever they win a case against the freedom of religion.

CRAVE's second goal in 2006 was to write to approximately l.5 million Christians in America to keep them informed about the agenda the ACLU, abortionists and homosexuals. We also kept American Christians informed about several other on-going activities around our country which played a big part in the practices which can only be called the persecution of Christians.

CRAVE's third goal in 2006 was to spread our message all over America about the gross injustices in the form of attacks upon Christianity and to help organize the Church to help us fight against these groups.

In 2005 CRAVE and I attended the U.S. Supreme Court's hearing on the Kentucky Ten Commandments case. I was interviewed by Molly Henneberg of the Fox News Channel and several local television stations.

In 2005 CRAVE and I also began a one year world wide radio program on station WWOL to reach the entire world for Christ and to explain our Christian values. We were broadcast world wide for one year.

In 2005 CRAVE and I started our attack against the ACLU, which we called Exposing the ACLU. CRAVE wrote letters to more than 1,300,000 Christians in America informing them about the various attacks against Christians today.

In 2005 CRAVE and I also held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC to help kick-off our national campaign to Expose the ACLU and to seek a Congressional Hearing into their activities.

In 2004 CRAVE and I filed an Amicus Brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the Kentucky Ten Commandments Case. This brief was filed at the request of Liberty Counsel headed up by Matt Staver. These briefs ended up costing CRAVE more than $11,500 dollars without anything being paid to me above his expenses.

In 2004 CRAVE and I wrote to nearly 1,000,000 Christians in America.

I also ran for the U.S. Congress in 2004. I ended all of my television commercials by saying, "My name is Don Swarthout and Praise God I approved this message." I am still the only candidate for a federal office to ever mention God in my television commercials.

In 2003 CRAVE and I held a meeting in Washington DC to discuss the Public Display of the Ten Commandments in America. About 35 National Ministries attended and some of our elected officials were also represented. This meeting led to a planning campaign to keep the Ten Commandments publicly displayed in America.

In 2003 CRAVE and I sent out more than 1,300,000 letters to Christians across our nation.

In 2003 I spoke about 50 times to Christians all over America.

In 2002 CRAVE sponsored a National Religious Conference which raised $15,000 for Chief Justice Roy Moore's Defense Fund. Altogether we raised $33,000 for Chief Justice Moore's Defense Fund.

I went to Montgomery, Alabama for all 7 days of Chief Justice Roy Moore's trial for placing a 5000 pound monument with the quotes from famous people and the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court.

In 2002 CRAVE and I wrote 897,000 letters to Christians across America.

In 2002 I spoke about 50 times to Christians all over America.

In 2001 CRAVE and I led a drive to stop the funding of the National Endowment of the Arts with our Tax Dollars. The National Endowment of the Arts uses millions of our tax dollars to help display some of the most despicable "art" imaginable. The National Endowment of the Arts also sponsored a play called Corpus Christi, the body of Christ, which depicted Jesus Christ as a homosexual having sex with his disciples.

In 2001 CRAVE and I started a letter writing campaign to inform Christians all over America about various attacks against people of faith going on in our country today.

In 2000 I held a Ten Commandments Rally in Denver, Colorado which was televised live in several U.S. cities and was main-streamed over the internet to the entire world. Judge Roy Moore, Pastor Rick Scarborough and Pastor Billy Epperhart were our guest speakers.

This event drew reporters from several local news agencies and was also covered by the Washington Times in Washington DC.

In 1999 I was chosen as the National Media Director for a Ten Commandments Rally held in Kentucky. Approximately 4,000 people attended this rally in a town of only 8,000 people. Many people went back home because of a lack of room in the building. The rally was held to show support for several towns and school districts which had put the Ten Commandments back up.

The Kentucky rally received National Television attention from the 700 Club, national coverage by the Associated Press and several local television stations. Judge Roy Moore of Alabama was our featured speaker for the rally.
