More from article:

"'We know the problem lies in us and not in anyone else's issues or policies or persuasion,' he said. 'We are therefore bringing ourselves to God and asking for his mercy upon us.'"

"But in an e-mailed message to supporters, Perkins said the focus of the day will be on 'praying that God would turn our hearts -- and the hearts of our political leaders -- toward him ... and restore respect for life, marriage, and faith in the halls of power.'"

I totally agree with this article. The problems with the country started decades (almost a century now) ago when Christians started ignoring the moral decline of this nation & bending to the pressure of secularism.
