Benny Cox

We the People

Monday afternoons at 5PM only on ABC AM1320 WBOB

One day Benny Cox met with Pastor Mike Whiddon over coffee. Over the last year they had seen what was happening to America. They recognized the need for people of faith and the Churches to get involved if we were to turn this Country back to its foundation. After having met with Robin Valentutto at the 1320 studio, Benny met Pastor Mike once again for coffee, this time he had a brief case full of one dollar bills, enough for half of the first quarter and had solicited sponsorship for the other half of the quarter.

Benny had been registered to vote since Jimmy Carter's election.(Yes he voted for Carter but has never voted for a Democrat since. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.) Voting and giving to PACS had been the extant of his political involvement until WE THE PEOPLE gave him a Voice.

Benny spent 15 years in the construction industry, and 21 years in the insurance industry..

Benny is the Chairman of the Board for Glad Tidings of Jacksonville. Glad Tidings was one of the first Churches to get behind We The People. Glad Tidings not only supports the ministry financially but has opened its doors to host the Faith,Family and Freedom educational sessions.
