“Everyone can do something.”
Tina Peters, a 70-year-old whistleblower and Gold Star mother of a fallen Navy SEAL was sentenced to nine years in prison in Colorado for questioning the 2020 election. She honored her oath to the Constitution by exposing what she believed were critical flaws in the election system. Initially motivated to run for Mesa County Clerk in Colorado to make practical improvements—like reducing long wait times at the DMV—she never anticipated her role would lead to a national spotlight on election integrity. For her bravery, she has now been imprisoned for over 460 days, transforming from a respected community leader into what many supporters call a political prisoner. Despite her harsh treatment in prison and grave health concerns, she writes a letter of encouragement on Christmas Eve with an admonishment to protect liberty and freedom.
A Modern-Day Epistle
Christian prophet Johnny Enlow has referred to Tina Peters as "the living epistle," comparing her perseverance through persecution to a living letter from Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 3:1-3 for her willingness to stand up for what's right and for freedom.

MESSAGE FROM TINA PETERS IN PRISON ON CHRISTMAS DAY
As I sit here alone in my cell on Christmas Eve, I'm reminded of all the wonderful past holidays with friends and family.
Like most, I was totally unaware of so many like me who live in the reality of prison away from their loved ones in a harsh environment like this.
Some people live life safe, hoping to avoid the pain of loss and hardship. They never learn to truly live and don't value freedom and liberty. This prison and those in it are becoming hopeful.
They see the courage only God can give me and come up to introduce themselves or yell my name across the yard or chow hall. I blush and tap my heart. Their lives matter.
As a business owner for 32 years, when I decided to run for Mesa County Clerk, my experience told me “I can fix those wait times at the DMV.” I never expected that as an elected official, because I said “yes” to God, he would use me to reveal the most egregious secret of all time: the theft of your voice and your vote.
I'm here because I had to be punished and made an example of. They couldn't scare me to retract what I said and forget what I saw.
I wouldn't give in, back down, or give up. Even here and now, through you, I continue to speak out and call out those that do wrong. You must continue to stand strong. Now is the time.
As these criminals continue to be exposed, we will need good and honest Americans ready to stand up and take their places in government. Get prepared and study up to be ready to run your own government. Strive to become the next leaders this country will surely need as the dominoes continue to fall.
Thank you, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump for my pardon. We all love and admire you for your bravery and willingness to stand up to evil regardless of the cost. The cost of doing so is great, but the reward of doing what is honorable and right far outweighs the pain.
Today, we are grateful most of all for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, for God choosing a man like our great President to run this country, and for people like all of you who are willing to step up and fill the gaps.
Pray the Lord will see fit to have me complete this mission and leave this awful place very soon. I want to move on to restoring our elections before the midterms. Please remember those that are incarcerated. There is a plan to fix this corrupt system and bring freedom, lasting freedom, to the captives.
God bless you all, treasure your family, protect liberty and freedom, live life on purpose. The time is short.
Everyone can do something. They can’t get us all.
Merry Christmas, and love always.
