Oppose the Freedom of Choice Act!

As most of you know, Obama made a public announcement that he is going to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act, which will allow all types of abortions including partial birth abortions, also allowing babies who are born alive due to botched up late term abortions, to be set aside without any medical care or nourishment and  left to die (most of these babies have no medical problems and most of the ones that do, have things like cleft palates, club feet, things that are correctable, still they are murdered in the most cruel and inhuman way. They feel everything that is happening to them. There is more mercy for dogs that are put to sleep) This Bill also will make it mandatory for doctors and nurses to perform this murderous act even if they do not want to do so. This act also allows under age teens to have an abortion, even partial birth abortions, without parental consent. 
    Catholic Bishops have pleaded with Obama not to go ahead with this horrible murder of innocent babies. They have also told Obama that if he persists in signing this Bill which would require even Catholic Hospitals to perform these acts of murder, they will have no choice but to close all Catholic Hospitals.  Please let us join with these courageous Bishops who will go to any length to change Obama's mind.  Please take a minute to sign this statement and let our voices be heard. 
    This is a great, informative website.  You can click on the video of Obama's speech to the Planned Parenthood group where he promised that the first thing he would do if elected President would be to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act.  He isn't even in the White House yet and he made a statement last night that he will go forward with his plans to sign this outrageous bill.  He still can change his mind because the Bill cannot be signed until he is actually the President.
    Please let your family and friends know about this Bill and ask them to also sign this petition. Please click on the web site below.  It will take less than a minute of your time, doesn't cost anything and God will bless you for standing up for Him and His commandment, "Thou shalt not kill".
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing"

Billy Graham's Prayer for Our Nation

 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.  We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.  We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.  We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.  We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.  We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.  We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.  We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our fo refathers and called it enlightenment.  Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

This man of God sure has a good view of what's happening to our country!

Contact Your Representatives

To contact your elected federal representatives and let them know your concerns and values.

For U.S. Congress, go to:

http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml

For U.S. Senate, go to:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=ID

Rather than just complain about the state of our country, contact your representatives and insist that they hear you. If “we the people” fail to speak up, we deserve whatever the special interests are able to manipulate.

If those who supposedly represent us don’t get input, they may feel the freedom to serve their own interests instead of ours.

 

It Begins

Given the proclivity for hidden agendas, Obama and other liberal politicians are massing for an assault on patriotic men and women who have given (often the “full measure of devotion”) their lives to protect American interests.

The Congressional Budget Office under the Office of Management and Budget is proposing that veterans be denied or face significantly increased costs for the medical care that their service warrants. Congress has worked for several years to correct pay and healthcare deficits experienced by those who serve for less than the value their training and experience demands. Now CBO is proposing to add much higher costs to those already "taxing" our military and veterans lower than comparable wages and benefits.

Having served my country for over 22 years, I am intimately aware of the shortfall in compensation we provide our service members. My first year of active duty as an officer with the Navy had me in such a situation that my children were eligible for free lunches at school. Many enlisted service members were in far worse circumstances financially. Often they were eligible for food stamps!

Now, unless our representatives support those who have served or are serving, we will have to take another hit for health care costs at a time when the economy provides little opportunity to recover. This can be particularly bad for those on fixed incomes.

This cannot be!!

An article on Military.com summarizes well the impact on military families. See http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,182097,00.html

Step up and insist that those we elected to represent us to protect the lives of those who gave so much to protect us.

Just One State

This is only one State...............If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will!  

1.       40% of all workers in Los Angeles County (L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.

2.       95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3.       75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4.       Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5.       Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally

6.       Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7.       The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8.       Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9.       21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.

10.    In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County  ) 

 (All 10 of the above facts are from the Los Angeles Times) 
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 
29% are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of CaliforniaFlorida, and New York) results from immigration. 

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue. Stop right now!! Phone, e-mail, fax or visit your representatives in Congress and insist that this situation be addressed urgently! In the current economic crisis, we cannot afford to remain complacent.

If you don't know how to contact your representatives, turn on your computer (or go to the library if you don't have a computer) and visit the following web sites:

Note to Republican Legislators

You have blown it! You failed to look beyond your personal interests and the misguided interests that do not serve the American public. You fit into the category described by an ancient text:

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” [James 4:1-3, Holy Bible, New International Version]

Citizens of the United States of America do not need public servants who are not serving the highest public interests, but rather lining their own pockets. I am personally disgusted with all who fit this category, yet are deceived by the pull of power and riches.

Open Letter to Federal Legislators for 2009

To Those Whom it Concerns:

You must resist the temptation to yield your integrity to lobbyists, and other special interests who seek only to promote their own schemes at the expense of the American citizenry. Self-aggrandizing politicians must be removed from office for they are no longer serving their electorate, but rather are continuing to line their own pockets.

The Christian scriptures exhorts us to remember that, “. . . the kingdom of God will never belong to the wicked . . . Don’t be under any illusion—neither the impure, the idolater or the adulterer; neither the effeminate, the pervert or the thief; neither the swindler, the drunkard, the foul-mouthed or the rapacious shall have any share in the kingdom of God. And such were some of you!” [1 Corinthians 6:9-10—J. B. Phillips translation]

Some of your cohorts fall into one or more of the above categories even if you don’t.

This is a call to return to the professed moral standards upon which this nation was founded. Granted, that our founding fathers were not always perfectly moral men, but they tried!

We have drifted so far away from the ethical guidelines present at the founding of this great nation that we have placed ourselves in danger of the very judgments promised by Almighty God.

Specific concerns of many Americans at this juncture in our morally and economically degraded situation include:

  • Preservation of our 2nd Amendment rights. The threats against our right to bear arms are rife. Obama’s stated position to raise taxes on the ammunition used in the arms the 2nd Amendment guarantees us to have a right to bear constitutes a challenge worthy of the very remedies the founding fathers cited so articulately in the Declaration of Independence.
  • The separation of powers provisions of the Constitution mandate resistance to abrogation by Presidential fiat of the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385).
  • We must stop illegal immigration and proffering of citizenship rights to illegals: medical care, unemployment payments, housing, licensing aliens to drive, etc. In the present economic climate and extreme need to move toward economic recovery, we can no longer afford to support those who do not enter this country legally.
  • We must prosecute to the fullest extent of the law under the RICO Act the men and women responsible for the present economic crisis: the likes of Chris Dodd — Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee; Barney Frank — Chairmen, House Financial Services Committee; and the rest of the band of thieves and conspirators who are responsible for the financial collapse of the USA. To name just a few of the culprits: Henry Paulson Jr, — Secretary of the Treasury, Alan Greenspan & Ben Bernanke — Chairman Federal Reserve, Christopher Cox — SEC Chairman. Former Presidents Carter and Clinton should be included in this indictment for their part in advancing the initiatives which brought us to this place.
  • We must stop bailing out every organization which has followed unwise policies and procedures resulting in flushing their enterprises and our nation down the economic toilet.
