Paul Weyrich to Have Legs Amputated, Requests Prayers

Filed under: General — TBlumer @ 6:05 am

World Net Daily reports:

Paul Weyrich, longtime conservative activist and chairman/CEO of the Free Congress Foundation, is scheduled to have his legs amputated this week.

Weyrich, who is also co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, suffered a spinal injury in 1996 and has been bound to a wheelchair since 2001.

A commentator in print and in the media, Weyrich reportedly has asked that supporters pray for him today and Thursday as he undergoes surgery at a Washington area hospital.

I disagreed with Weyrich for what I considered to be unwarranted outside intervention with an imported candidate during Ohio’s Second District GOP primary, but noted at the time that it in my opinion was a rare mistake for someone to whom the whole country owes so much.

He is in my prayers, and I hope he is in yours.
