We Must Speak Out Actively!!!

Dr. Carle Zimmerman wrote in 1947 in his book, Family and Civilization and described eleven “symptoms of final decay” observable in the fall of both the Greek and Roman civilizations. Most of these describe our current society in these United States:

  1. No-fault divorce
  2. “Birth Dearth”; increased disrespect for parenthood and parents
  3. Meaningless marriage rites and ceremonies
  4. Defamation of past national heroes
  5. Acceptance of alternative marriage forms
  6. Widespread attitudes of feminism, narcissism, hedonism
  7. Propagation of antifamily sentiment
  8. Acceptance of most forms of adultery
  9. Rebellious children
  10. Increased juvenile delinquency
  11. Common acceptance of all forms of sexual perversion
Adapted from Carle C. Zimmerman, Family and Civilization (Wilmington, DE, ISI Books, 2008), 255

America is infected with the deadly disease of moral decay and that most blatantly demonstrated in the lives of many (if not most) of our elected national leaders. They have yielded to the temptation to personally profit from public service. Thomas Jefferson wrote while deliberating on the wording of the Declaration of Independence in 1776: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes... But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is [the people's] right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Regarding resistance to government, Jefferson also wrote the following in two letters to contemporaries:

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" —Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.  It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." —Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.

He warned us:

"Aristocrats fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society." —Thomas Jefferson to William Short, 1825. Yielding our prerogatives as “We the People” to power-mongers and the morally bankrupt, selfish, arrogant rich elite will surely result in loss of our hard-won freedoms, dishonoring the blood shed to secure those freedoms.
Obama's initiatives will not address these factors and we cannot allow him to aid the degradation of our society.

Cat and Mouse, Bait and Switch

Watch Obama and his “posse” as they pull a cat and mouse game on the American public. With the economy looming so large in people’s minds, citizens are expecting that Obama’s stated plans for America will be subordinated to the best interests of the people. Wrong answer!!

Allowing Obama control over the finances of the TARP bailout money is a major mistake. There are no controls in place to ensure its proper use and should have never been initiated in the first place. The free market system would have brought a correction.

The perpetrators of the world-wide financial crisis which resulted in the perceived need for TARP should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law under the RICO Act. TARP was truly a “bait and switch” by corrupt politicians seeking to either line their own pockets or demonstrate their own ignorance of economics.

Obama’s plan to sign the Freedom of Choice Act is moving ahead to allow the murder of babies by abortion and killing of live-birth babies.

His plan to push his support of the so-called Gay agenda is also underway for the U.S. military. "It's time to turn the page on the bitterness and bigotry that fill so much of today's LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) rights debate," Obama said while campaigning. Although degraded by Bill Clinton’s “Don’t Ask—Don’t Tell” policy, the United States military, the greatest fighting force ever assembled, has had a policy in place against homosexual conduct since its formation. This policy annoys certain liberals who want to force their social agenda on the rest of the country and ignore those affected.

Obama’s announced intention to take away guns and ammunition from citizens in contravention of the 2nd Amendment is also moving forward in several states by his enlisting the aid of liberal Democrats who want a total ban on firearms and ammunition in the hands of the public. Recent bills have been introduced in states to require the encoding of ammunition and confiscation or destruction of all un-encoded ammunition.

Likewise, attempts to convert our 401k, 403b, and other retirement funds into additions to Social Security are being proposed and which will essentially make the citizens of this once-great country slaves to the power-mongers in our country.

Obama’s insouciance, arrogance, and naïveté must not be allowed to put our country down the sewer of immorality and corruption. While our silence has brought this about, it must stop now!

These are dangerous times (in our country and world-wide) and we must remain vigilant to thwart these insidious attempts to turn America to Obama’s Marxist/Socialist agenda!! We can no longer allow our legislators to run free with our country. Get involved at every level!!

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.
