Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 7 – 13 Mar 2010:
FREE PETITION — Personhood Colorado Campaign Goes Into Overtime.  Missouri~ Montana~ California next up to save babies.

Have you signed our free petition to end abortion in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ and California?  Sunday I stood outside the Denver Nuggets game collecting dozens of official signatures~ and I spoke at a church rally for Personhood Colorado~ where petition gatherers have gone into "overtime" to save unborn babies from extermination.   Colorado is one of 8 states with current ballot initiatives (and up to 30 other states are just beginning) to legally define the word "person" as including unborn children~ giving them equal rights (to simply be born) under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  Last month we turned in 79~648 signatures~ but 15~690 of them were rejected by the Colorado Secretary of State~ who extended our deadline by 15 days until March 18th to replace those with 15~000 new signers.  Can you help gather petitions?  

Even if you’re not in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ or Calif~ you can help!  We’re faxing thousands of pastors to get their churches involved~ and you can sponsor and equip scores of churches in those states to receive a free "personhood kit" to gather official petitions~ by donating just 29 cents per church – less than the cost of a postage-stamp.  Please sponsor 100 churches for a $29 gift.  We just spent hundreds of dollars faxing thousands of pastors in Florida~ Mississippi~ and Colorado.  Next up on our list are Missouri ($837 needed)~ Montana ($117 needed)~ and California ($2~612 needed)~ if we can just raise a few hundred dollars more~ we will fax thousands more pastors to equip their churches to gather official petitions to save real babies!  But first~ please at least sign our free petition to defend unborn babies as persons~ and tell 5 friends.


Please forward this email to friends in CO~ MO~ MT~ CA today!

March 1, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

 
Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 28 Feb – 6 Mar 2010:
FAX PETITION — Obama pressures chaplains to silence speech about homosexual ban

The Senior Military Chaplain at Andrews Air Force Base fearfully disinvited Tony Perkins~ leader of the Family Research Council and former Marine officer~ from a scheduled speaking engagement at a prayer breakfast~ because of pressure by the Obama Administration to censor speech by military chaplains against homosexual sin.  Air Force Chaplain Lt. Col. Gary Bertsch wrote Perkins as he cancelled the invitation~ "As military members we are sworn to support our Commander in Chief~ and are forbidden to make or support statements which run counter to our roles as members of the armed forces."  Perkins had elsewhere criticized efforts to repeal "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell~" but did not intend to speak on the subject at the prayer breakfast~ and was shocked by the irony of being censored for merely advocating enforcement of current federal law.  

Meanwhile Four Star General James Conway~ the heroic Commandant of the Marine Corps~ made public statements opposing Obama’s homosexual agenda this week~ risking his own career~ and criticizing statements by the current pro-homosexual Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff~ Mike Mullen.  Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz both said they had serious concerns about lifting the ban with two wars raging.  But they need help on Capitol Hill.  Please sign our petition to Congress to keep open homosexual aggression out of our military~ please select here~ sign the petition~ and we will fax it to all 535 Congressmen~ saving you hours of labor.  We’ve already faxed 90~000 petitions.  Can you help reach 100K?

Military Chaplains Fear Obama~ Un-invite Christian Speaker
 
Let Us Pray.  Almighty God~ bless our military chaplains~ many of whom fear pressure by the Obama Administration to silence their preaching against homosexual sin. From Romans 15:16 let them preach the gospel~ despite threats of censorship because of the possible repeal of the “Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell” policy.  This week some cowardly chaplains disinvited Tony Perkins from his scheduled speech at a prayer event because he opposes the repeal of DADT.  God bless the other chaplains now coming forward more boldly~ agreeing with us the military should not be used for homosexual social experiments~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

Two Years Later, Klingenschmitt Might See Victory in VA

February 24, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Two Years Later, Klingenschmitt Might See Victory in VA
January 1, 2010

RightWingWatch.org


 
Back in 2008, we wrote a few posts based on claims by Gordon Klingenschmitt and other right-wing activists that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine had supposedly “fired” several State Police Chaplains because they prayed publicly “in Jesus’ name” and had banned chaplains for praying in such a manner.

It wasn’t true, but that didn’t stop Klingenschmitt, Rick Scarborough, Mat Staver and others from holding a rally in Richmond in an effort to get the decision reversed. That never happened and the issue faded away … at least until recently, as now it looks like the issue will be brought up again now that a Pat Roberston-approved governor is taking control in Virginia:

[Del. Charles W. Carrico, a retired state trooper] already has refiled the measure for the 2010 session, which begins Jan. 13. He said he is hoping for a better result now that senators have had more time to think about the issue.

He also could get a boost from the change in the governor’s office. Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine, who had threatened to veto Carrico’s bill, will be succeeded by Bob McDonnell, a conservative Republican with close ties to the Rev. Pat Robertson.

“The governor-elect is a strong supporter of religious liberty and the right of religious officials to freely practice their faiths, unimpeded by government,” McDonnell spokesman J. Tucker Martin said. “He is reviewing the directive from that perspective.”

[…]

Flaherty issued the order after a federal appeals court upheld a Fredericksburg City Council policy that banned opening council meetings with sectarian prayers. The order applies only to department-sponsored public events, not to private events such as funerals or counseling sessions with troopers or victims.

State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said the directive applied to only one event in 2009 — the department’s annual law enforcement memorial service. She said the department stands by Flaherty’s 2008 statement that the state police must “be inclusive and respectful of the varied ethnicities, cultures, and beliefs of our employees, their families, and citizens at-large.”

Lt. Dan Choi: ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is a ‘disease of shame’

February 24, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Lt. Dan Choi: ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is a ‘disease of shame’
Monday, February 22, 2010

T.M. Lindsey — Iowa Independent


 
Although Lt. Dan Choi’s current status in the military remains murky, one thing is clear: In his heart and mind the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy is a poisonous disease that spreads beyond the military.

“Through my experiences while serving in Iraq, I discovered why ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is so poisonous is that it forces people to lie about who they are,” Choi told an audience of about 200 LGBT students, allies, school administrators and educators gathered at the 5th Annual Governor’s Conference on LGBT Youth at Drake University in Des Moines Feb. 18. “This is a policy of shame that forces people into the closet.

“I wonder how many of us have a DADT policy in our churches, families, schools, clubs, classrooms, or even here in our own hearts that we’ve placed on ourselves, imposing shame and saying to ourselves: ‘that’s an order,’” Choi said. “DADT is the disease of shame that we all suffer through. For the past 10 years, I had no problem with DADT and thought it was just great. Since I was already in the closet, DADT provided cover and gave me a place to hide.”

Upon returning from active duty in Iraq, he could no longer hide his true identity. Choi, a West Point graduate, Iraq war veteran and Arabic translator, was eventually discharged from the Army when he said “I am gay” on an episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show” that aired last March.

[…]

In an exclusive interview with The Iowa Independent, Choi said one person who could contribute to the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is Iowa’s highest ranking military official, Gov. Chet Culver, who did not attend his LGBT conference.

“If Gov. Culver, Iowa’s commander-in-chief, were here today, I would ask that he join my brothers in arms and call upon the federal government to repeal DADT,” he said, adding: “Gov. Culver is the highest ranking military official in Iowa, so it would be great to see him make some sort of public declaration to show he supports the repeal of DADT.”

Culver can’t formally change the policy, Choi said, but seeing the governor speak out would “mean a lot to the gay Iowa soldiers already serving and those who have been discharged, knowing that their leader supports and stands up for them.”

“In fact, I would call on all commanders-in-chief across the country to stand up for their troops, who have been shouldering a significant portion of the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said. “I would be honored to have Gov. Culver serving with me in my foxhole.”

The Iowa Independent contacted Culver’s office on multiple occasions but received no response.

[…]

Reconciling family and faith

According to Choi, the courage it took to come out on “The Rachel Maddow Show” was nothing compared to what he had to muster when he came out to his parents. He was raised in an evangelical household by his father, a southern Baptist minister, and his mother, a nurse on the maternity ward who always dreamed of a house filled with Korean grandchildren. Feeling the continuous pressure from his mother to marry a Korean girl and have a big, traditional wedding, Choi admitted to the audience that she annoyed him to the point that he buckled and came out to her. “I am not going to marry a Korean girl, nor am I going to marry a white girl,” he told his mother. “I am gay, and I was born that way, and I tried to pray the gay away.”

Choi confessed his father was even more shocked than his mother, to the point of irrationality. “Since when?” was his father’s first response. “You can change, it’s just like Barack Obama, you can change. Yes you can,” his father said to him.

“Thanks to Obama, yes we can turn straight again,” Choi quipped to the audience.

Despite their initial reactions, Lt. Choi stuck to his guns, realizing he was out of the closet and would not turn back on his decision or himself. “It is because I love you that I am telling you the truth,” he confided to his mother. “If I didn’t tell you, that’s when you should be truly concerned, because I would continue to keep lying to your face.”

Reconciling a new path with his father, however, was more challenging, given his father’s religious position and background, not to mention the irrationality of his initial responses. “This is the biggest shame, the biggest sin,” Choi’s father told him when he first found out. “Number one sin.”

“I learned about the biggest sin that you taught me in your church and while growing up in your house was to not accept Jesus Christ, your lord and savior, who said you should love your neighbor as you love yourself,” Choi responded to his father. “Which means you have to love yourself before you can love your neighbor. You have to love yourself as God has created you, and I do, and I love you, and this is why I am telling you this.”

Since he came out to them, Choi’s mother and father have slowly grappled with coming to terms with their son’s sexuality.

“The last time I was in Iowa last October, my dad called me and said he had seen me making appearances on all of the television shows and told me he knew what I was doing and that he accepted me as his gay son,” Choi said.

However, Choi admits that not everyone who shares his faith has been so accepting or understanding.

“There are a lot of people out there who use their religious sentiments against my sexuality and that is the source of their hatred,” he said. “I don’t think I should have to give up my religion and faith, because the politicians and the people with a political agenda within those faiths want to hijack it.”

To help illustrate his point, Choi pointed to Chaplain Gordan James Klingenschmitt, a religious pundit and founder of “The Praying in Jesus Name” project. Klingenschmitt singled out Choi in some of his online posts, calling him a liar for knowingly breaking the West Point Honor Code by lying about his sexuality and called for his immediate separation from the military.

Not knowing how to respond to Klingenschmitt in Jesus’ name, Choi offered the audience an open prayer:

Dear God,

I just want to pray and lift up Chaplain James who needs to learn the pain he causes. You teach us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us. And how many times did you teach us to turn our cheek when somebody does wrong to us. Chaplain Klingenschmitt just doesn’t understand the pain he is causing, and I realize that he doesn’t understand the lessons we learned though your son, Jesus Christ, when He was here on earth. But the tradition and the law and his people turned their back on Him and gave him the death penalty for telling the truth. When oppression and discrimination were present in his time but He stood up. Chaplain James can be blessed to learn these messages.

Amen

“That is how I respond and how I pray in Jesus’ name,” Lt. Choi said. “There will be some people who will continue to use their views and religious bigotry to push their agenda. It is not our job to hate them back, rather to show them the truth and pray for them to understand.”

Choi’s call-to-arms

Despite having been formerly discharged from the Army, Choi was recently called back to active duty and recently reported to his National Guard unit in New York to complete some drills.. “I have been training hard with my unit, with the intent that I will join them when it receives its orders for deployment to Afghanistan,” Choi told The Iowa Independent. “However, a discharge continually looms over my head, and as far as I know, I could be discharged the day before deployment.

“Mentally, I am stuck in a schizophrenic holding pattern,” he added. “In the meantime, like other members in my unit, I will continue to plug away at my day job, which for me is a full-time activist.”

Choi helped form Knights Out, an organization comprised of West Point alumni advocating for the rights of gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, and continues to speak out to the press and events across the country. “Whether I am reinstated or not in the military remains to be seen. Either way, I will continue to speak out against the DADT policy until it is repealed and my fellow gay soldiers can serve openly and without having to serve our country in shame.”

“Ironically, there are gay men and women over in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting for and protecting the very freedoms they themselves cannot openly exercise,” Choi said. “Meanwhile back at home there are some states, like Iowa, that recognize these rights and protections for our gay citizens. Unfortunately, these same rights do not extended to them when they return to their civilian lives and families — who also have to hide the truth and share this overwhelming burden of shame.”

Choi will return to Iowa Thursday to speak at 7 p.m. in the Iowa Memorial Union’s Main Lounge at the University of Iowa.

Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 21 – 27 Feb 2010:
FAX PETITION — Stop Obama’s "new"  big- government power grab that funds abortion


Newsweek.com has suddenly realized what I’ve been saying for three months~ that 36 House Democrats (and 1 Republican) still hold the key to STOPPING ENTIRELY President Obama’s new   "version 2.0" health-care plan that massively funds abortion with our tax-dollars. Newsweek.com just reported:
"What matters now is how large that ‘unclear number of Democrats’ is [Chaps’ hint: 37]~ how many representatives will oppose the Democrat’s compromise bill because of softer abortion language. If we’re talking Stupak and one or two other members of Congress~ then the Democrats are probably safe. But if the ranks of Stupak-followers reach into low double digits~ Pelosi may have a serious threat on her hands.

Petition for NC Forsyth County to Defend Jesus Prayers

February 14, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

PLEASE ADD YOUR "AMEN" TO THE FREE PETITION BELOW!


Chairman Linville
Forsyth County~ N.C.
SIGN FREE PETITION BELOW~ TO SEVEN MEMBERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY~ NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS~ TO DEFEND JESUS PRAYERS~ AND DONATE TO HELP THEM.

OUR PLEDGE: 100% of donations given to Pray In Jesus Name Ministries from 1 Aug to 10 Aug 2011 will be pledged and held in reserve for Forsyth County~ to mitigate the risk of loss~ if they boldly appeal to the Supreme Court and lose~ in defense of free speech and the right to pray publicly "in Jesus name." 

Will Forsyth N.C. Appeal Court’s Ban on Jesus Prayers?

The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners will decide on this month whether to appeal to the Supreme Court a bad 2-1 ruling~ Joyner v. Forsyth County by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals that banned private citizens from speaking the forbidden word "Jesus" during a public prayer before council meetings.

The 2-1 Court decision can be read here:  READ THE ANTI-JESUS COURT RULING.  The 4th Circuit Court rules over 5 states: Virginia~ West Virginia~ North and South Carolina~ and Maryland~ where Jesus-prayers are now considered "illegal" if atheist complainers try to sue in those states to stop free speech.

Judge Paul V. Niemeyer~ the lone dissenter in the 2-1 decision~ strongly criticized his fellow jurists:

"The majority has dared to step in and regulate the language of prayer — the sacred dialogue between humankind and God. Such a decision treats prayer agnostically; reduces it to civil nicety; … Most frightfully~ it will require secular legislative and judicial bodies to evaluate and parse particular religious prayers under an array of criteria. … I respectfully submit that we must maintain a sacred respect of each religion~ and when a group of citizens comes together~ as does the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners~ and manifests that sacred respect — allowing the prayers of each to be spoken in the religion’s own voice — we must be glad to let it be."

Alliance Defense Fund Attorney Mike Johnson said:  "America’s founders opened public meetings with prayer. There’s no reason that today’s public officials should be forced to censor the prayers of those invited to offer them simply because secularist groups don’t like people praying according to their own conscience.  The legal team will confer with the county about the process of appealing today’s decision."

A national group called the Alliance Defense Fund is paying the county’s legal bills~ but won’t cover payments to the plaintiffs for damages or legal expenses should the county lose.

The Pray In Jesus Name Project has already raised and pledged $3~000 to help pay for the County’s legal bills~ on the condititon the County appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court and loses their appeal.  If they win~ Jesus-prayers would be restored nationwide and the anti-Christian ACLU (who sued the county) could be forced to pay the County’s court costs~ ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

[So please DONATE HERE~ and help fulfill OUR PLEDGE as stated above.]&nb
sp; WITHOUT A PLEDGE~ THE COUNTY LIKELY WON’T APPEAL.  We need your help.

——–

TAKE ACTION FOUR WAYS: 
1) Sign the FREE petition below and write your comment which we’ll post now. 
2) Please politely email AND telephone each of the seven city council members below and politely ask them to vote to appeal the bad Judge’s decision to ban Jesus’ prayers.
3) Phone and email Chairman Richard Linville himself to encourage him to vote for appeal.
4) Pray God will bless the voters of Forsyth County~ NC with wisdom before the next election.

A PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD~
and
A PETITION TO COMMISSIONERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY~ N.C.:

Dear Commissioners:

We the undersigned~ respectfully petition you to defend religious freedom by allowing visiting pastors 

of all diverse faiths and denominations~ to pray aloud publicly according to the dictates of their own conscience~

at or before city council meetings~ even if they dare to pray aloud publicly "in Jesus name" or invoke their own specific deity. 

Please do not cave-in to atheist intimidation by the enemies of religious liberty~ including the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals~ who ruled

2-1 to ban prayers "in Jesus name" and sided with the anti-Christian ACLU. 

Please conform your decision to First Amendment precedent which allows Jesus prayers among other rotating diverse prayers~

as already decided in the 7th Circuit (Hinrichs v. Bosma) and 11th Circuit (Pelphrey v. Cobb County)

and by the Supreme Court of the United States in two decisions: Marsh v. Chambers and especially Lee v. Weisman. 

Jesus is not an illegal word~ the Bible is not a banned book~ and prayer speech is not a crime. 

We pray to God you will stand with us by taking a courageous stand for liberty~ in Jesus’ name.  Amen. 

Add your "Amen" by signing below~ and WE WILL POST YOUR COMMENTS to the
Commissioners of Forsyth County~ N.C.~ immediately.

(Trouble clicking? Cut and paste: https://prayinjesusname.org/blog_post/show/57)

A federal judge in North Carolina just ruled it’s illegal to pray "in Jesus name" before Forsyth County public meetings.  The seven-member board of county commissioners is evenly split about whether to appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court~ or cave-in to ban Jesus permanently~ but one man~ Dave Plyler~ is undecided.  Alliance Defense Fund is representing~ but will NOT cover the risk of loss to pay opposing ACLU attorney fees~ so Pro-Jesus groups have raised $155~000 of the $225~000 needed to mitigate that risk of loss. (Otherwise the county just won’t risk tax-payer funds~ and Jesus will be permanently banned.)  PLEASE SIGN OUR FREE PETITION to urge the Commissioners to appeal~ and DONATE TO DEFEND the right to pray "IN JESUS NAME" in public meetings.  OUR PLEDGE:  100% of donations given to Pray In Jesus Name Ministries from 13 Feb to 22 Feb 2010 will be pledged and held in reserve for Forsyth County~ to mitigate the risk of loss~ if they boldly appeal to the Supreme Court and lose~ in defense of free speech and the right to pray publicly "in Jesus name." So please donate your 100% pledge this week!

Obama 'hate crimes' in lawsuit bull's-eye

Obama ‘hate crimes’ in lawsuit bull’s-eye
Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Bob Unruh — World Net Daily


 
A team of Christian activists and pastors today filed a civil rights lawsuit against Attorney General Eric Holder over the “hate crimes” law that President Obama signed into law late last year, alleging it violates their civil rights.

The complaint states Christians now can become the target of federal investigations, grand juries and even charges for no more than opposing the activism of homosexuals who want not only public endorsement of their life choices, but to halt any criticism of those decisions.

“On account of … the Hate Crimes Act, plaintiffs are targets for government scrutiny, questioning, investigation, surveillance, and other adverse law enforcement actions and thus seek judicial reassurance that they can freely participate in their speech and related religious activities without being investigated or prosecuted by the government
or becoming part of official records because of their Christian beliefs,” the lawsuit explains.

It was filed today by the Thomas More Law Center in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Pastors Levon Yuille, Rene Ouellette, James Combs and Gary Glenn, the president of the American Family Association of Michigan.

The plaintiffs include individuals who already have faced accusations by homosexual advocates that they bear responsibility for the actions of others for no other reason than their agreement with biblical condemnations of homosexuality.

The lawsuit cited the death of Andrew Anthos, a 72-year-old Detroit man allegedly the victim of a “hate crime” because of his “sexual orientation.” In that case, the executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force “blamed … Plaintiff Glenn’s ‘homophobic rants’ for causing his death.”

According to the lawsuit, the homosexual activist said, “It is appalling hypocrisy for these forces to pretend that their venomous words and organizing have no connection to the plague of hate violence against gay people, including the murder of Mr. Anthos.”

Anthos also was cited by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., as evidence of the need to extend federal “hate crimes” legislation to include “sexual orientation” as a protected classification.

But the lawsuit said police and a medical examiner determined that Anthos died of natural causes.

The complaint also said, “The former director of policy for the Triangle Foundation, a Michigan-based homosexual lobby group that supported the Hate Crimes Act, publicly stated, ‘We personally believe that the AFA may support the murder of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.'”

Such statements, combined with the “hate crimes” law that now exists, provide a “tool” of intimidation for federal officials, including Holder, “to abuse their positions of power to stifle political opinion and opposition to the homosexual agenda.”

“It also provides political adversaries with a basis for making official criminal complaints and allegations against opponents of the homosexual agenda, such as plaintiffs, thereby deterring, inhibiting, and chilling the exercise of plaintiffs’ rights to freedom of speech, expressive association, and the free exercise of religion,” the complaint said.

“By preaching God’s Word on homosexuality, plaintiffs and others are engaging in conduct that subjects them to federal questioning, investigation, and prosecution as principals pursuant to [the law] for counseling, commanding, or inducing a federal offense under … the Hate Crimes Act.”

“There is no legitimate law enforcement need for this federal law,” said Richard Thompson, president of the Law Center. “Of the 1.38 million violent crimes reported in the U.S. by the FBI in 2008, only 243 were considered as motivated by the victim’s sexual orientation.

“Moreover, Eric Holder himself testified at a Senate hearing that the states are doing a fine job in this area,” he said.

“This is part of the list of political payoffs to homosexual advocacy groups for support of Barack Obama in the last presidential election. The sole purpose of this law is to criminalize the Bible and use the threat of federal prosecutions and long jail sentences to silence Christians from expressing their biblically-based religious belief that homosexual conduct is a sin. It elevates those persons who engage in deviant sexual behaviors, including pedophiles, to a special protected class of persons as a matter of federal law and policy,” he said.

The Hate Crimes Act was dubbed by its critics as the “Pedophile Protection Act,” after an amendment to explicitly prohibit pedophiles from being protected by the act was defeated by majority Democrats. In fact, during congressional debate, supporters argued that all “philias,” or alternative sexual lifestyles, should be protected.

Robert Muise, the lead attorney on the case, told WND the law also elevates people who “engaged in a certain class of deviant behavior to a protected class as a matter of federal law and policy.”

With some classes of people given more “rights,” others naturally have “fewer,” he said. And that’s where Christians are targeted. He noted that in an earlier version of what eventually became law under Obama was a proposed amendment referring to reading or citing biblical passages

“In 2007, when Congress was considering similar hate crimes legislation, a motion was made before the Committee on Rules in the House of Representatives to clarify that the printing, distribution, or public reading of the Bible was not prohibited by any provision of the proposed bill. The motion was defeated.”

Contacted by WND, Holder’s office declined to comment on the case.

The law was promoted by its advocates as cracking down on “bias” crimes motivated by a person’s “actual or perceived” “sexual orientation” or “gender identity”

Yiulle is the pastor of The Bible Church in Michigan and national director of the National Black Pro-Life Congress. He hosts a radio program and “is often warned by his Canadian listeners that he will prosecuted under the new U.S. hate crimes law for his public ministry.”

[…]

The civil rights violations created by the “hate crimes” law involve freedom of speech, expressive association, free exercise of religion, the equal protection guarantee and other provisions of the First, Fifth and 10th Amendments as well as Commerce Clause, the case said.

“This new federal law promotes two Orwellian concepts. It creates a special class of persons who are ‘more equal than others’ based on nothing more than deviant, sexual behavior. And it creates ‘thought crimes’ by criminalizing certain ideas, beliefs, and opinions, and the involvement of such ideas, beliefs, and opinions in a crime will make it deserving of federal prosecution,” Muise said.

“Consequently, government officials are claiming the power to decide which thoughts are criminal under federal law and which are not.”

Obama signed the “Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act” in October 2009 after Democrats strategically attached it to a “must-pass” $680 billion defense-appropriations bill.

The law cracks down on any acts that could be linked to criticism of homosexuality or even the “perception” of homosexuality. As Congress debated it, there were assurances it would not be used to crack down on speech.

Days after Obama signed it, in response, pastors and other Christian leaders gathered to read from the Bible at a rally organized with the help of Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Coalition.

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt of PrayInJesusName.org read from Romans: “And they that commit such things are worthy of death.”

“The government has to invade my thoughts to decide what my motive was in quoting the Bible,” Klingenschmitt explained. “I can be prosecuted if the government thinks my motive was wrong.”

The rally took place in front of the Holder’s offices. He supported the bill although he explained it does not protect all people equally. He is charged with enforcing the law.

Obama boasted of the “hate crimes” bill when he signed it into law.

“After more than a decade, we’ve passed inclusive hate-crimes legislation to help protect our citizens from violence based on what they look like, who they love, how they pray or who they are,” he said.

Some of the rally in opposition to the law was captured by Christian Broadcasting Network:

“If this law is used to silence me or any of these preachers for speaking the truth, then we will be forced to conscientiously defy it,” Rick Scarborough, president of Vision America, declared. “That is my calling as a Christian and my right as an American citizen.”

Janet Porter of Faith2Action called it a “sad day for America.”

“While a small minority of homosexual activists are celebrating, thousands of pastors, priests and rabbis are lamenting their loss of First Amendment freedoms. I for one refuse to bow before this unjust and unconstitutional law, and I intend to continue to preach the whole counsel of God as revealed in the Scriptures,” she wrote.

“But this law doesn’t just affect pastors; it will criminalize the beliefs of millions of ordinary people who may now be afraid to speak even their pro-marriage positions lest it spark a federal ‘hate crime’ investigation,” Porter wrote.

Cass noted in the U.K., a senior citizen was accused of “hate crimes” for writing a letter objecting to a pro-homosexual festival:

“This is the way it gets implemented in all the other countries,” Cass said. “Christians are singled out for prosecution, with threats, imprisonment and fines simply for refusing to stop doing what Christ commands: proclaiming the truth.”

“[These cases] are a good precursor of where this goes,” he warned.

The bill signed by Obama was opposed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which called it a “menace” to civil liberties. The commission argued the law allows federal authorities to bring charges against individuals even if they’ve already been cleared in a state court.

DEFEND TROOPS AGAINST HOMOSEXUAL HARASSMENT

HOT PETITION!  Defend military Chaplains~ Christian troops from LGBT persecution. Please select~ sign~ and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress.   We’ve already sent 78~000 fax petitions.  Can you help us reach 100~000?

Proof Obama lied to Congress: "Military not harmed by homosexuality."  

President Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta both lied to Congress yesterday~ by certifying that the military is ready for~ and will not be harmed by open homosexual service~ which will begin in 60 days.  CNN reports~ "Obama~ with his top men at the Pentagon~ formally ‘certified’ to Congress that the present ‘don’t ask-don’t tell’ policy will end in mid-September without harming ‘military readiness~ military effectiveness~ unit cohesion and recruiting and retention of the Armed Forces.’"  

How do I know the White House lied?  The DoD Inspector General said they lied~ in a 33-page report explaining how White House officials falsified their "leak" of Pentagon survey data~ and deceived the Washington Post~ the American public~ and the U.S. Senate into repealing "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell" last December~ by initially reporting false data that 70% of our troops have "no problem" with open homosexuality.  Actually 82% oppose it.

When our troops were surveyed about DADT repeal~ troops overwhelmingly opposed allowing open homosexual service~ as I proved in my analysis of the survey.  91% of troops reject homosexual leaders~ 85% of combat Marines distrust~ 71% won’t share showers~ and 24% won’t re-enlist.  But 2 of the 5 White House officials with early access to the survey "leaked" a phony version of the early survey results to the Washington Post~ claiming 70% of all troops supported open homosexual service~ when 82% of troops opposed it.   

The IG said exactly that:

    "We considered that the primary source [of the leak from two White House officials]’s likely pro-repeal sentiment was further demonstrated by his/her inclusion of the key 70 percent figure in the information provided to the Washington Post. … Had [the source] desired to further an anti-repeal bias for the article~ he/she could likewise have combined four results categories from that same survey question to conclude that ’82 percent of respondents said the effect of repealing the ‘Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell’ policy would be negative~ mixed or no effect’" and been just as accurate.

In other words~ the Inspector General agreed with my reading of the report that 82% of troops oppose open homosexuality~ and refuted the White House’s bogus report that 70% of troops support open homosexuality. The White House lied~ plain and simple.  

To date less than half of our troops have received "homosexual indoctrination" training~ but Panetta and Obama just certified our troops morale~ unit cohesion~ retention will not be harmed?  You’ve got to be kidding me.  These men have no honor~ and should be impeached for lying to Congress.

Let’s take a stand to defend our troops.  It’s not too late.  The Senate can still pass the House version of the Defense Authorization Act which would delay implementation of DADT repeal~ and also protect our military chaplains…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by military lawyers to delay repeal of "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell" late Friday~ but stipulated no homosexuals can be fired while the Pentagon re-educates our troops and chaplains that sin is not sin.

Chief Judge Alex Kozinski prohibited the government from "investigating~ penalizing~ or discharging anyone from the military pursuant to the Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell policy" and indicated it would rule later this month on whether to extend the emergency stay.  The Obama Administration told the court they expect a big announcement in "late July or early August" that our troops are ready~ despite the fact only half our troops have been trained.

The "moral re-education" of our chaplains troops (to embrace homosexual sin as a moral right) will not be completed until September~ but even while trained~ our Christian troops now face harassment for expressing their Christian views~ and chaplains will face punishment for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ~ unless they restrict their "free" speech to Sunday chapel.  I know from personal experience~ Chaplains speech rights will not be protected Monday through Saturday or  outside of chapel.  

The Court’s temporary delay gives us just a few more weeks to petition the U.S. Senate~ who will debate keeping or deleting three good clauses in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act~ to protect chaplains and Christian troops from homosexual harassment.   The 3 parts of the new law (detailed below) would 1) protect chaplains by stopping plans for gay weddings in military chapels~ 2) enforce the 1996 DOMA law by defining military marriage = one m
an + one woman~ and 3) require the top 4 generals also certify before final repeal of DADT.  
The House already passed this good bill 322-96 last month.  

But the Senate must confirm~ and sadly the Democrats in the Senate are trying to decriminalize the UCMJ laws against sod omy.  Also our good efforts face veto threat by President Obama~ but I’m still hopeful.  Let’s petition all 100 Senators today…

Last week the Ninth Circuit Court ruled to force open homosexual agression and harassment upon all our troops immediately~ without allowing the Pentagon to complete field training or slowly repeal "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell."

The Obama Administration failed to defend the 1993 law in court~ but instead argued in both court and in Congress that DADT should be repealed as unconstitutionally discriminatory~ conceding the pro-homosexual arguments and killing the DADT policy during a "lame-duck" session of Congress in December.  Unless Obama appeals to the Supreme Court~ today’s court ruling will take permanent effect worldwide.

AP reports last Friday the new Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta heard from top Generals~ who had been expected to "certify" military readiness for repeal in September~ but the court will now force repeal while the top Generals admit our troops are not ready. 

Congress could still delay implementation by empowering the top Generals to vote. Without their vote~ the result will be instant chaos among our troops~ early retirements by eligible Christians~ and homosexual harassment of Chaplains and Christian troops who are not eligible for early release from their service contracts.  The House already passed good clauses protecting troops and chaplains Defense Budget~ but the Senate could strip them out.

Shockingly~ the Senate Armed Services Committee is trying to change the Uniform Code of Military Justice to legalize the crime of sod omy.  The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 is being amended by the Senate to include language to remove homosexual acts as a longstanding violation of the UCMJ.

Great news.  The House of Representatives voted 322-96 last month to pass the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act~ which included three good amendments protecting chaplains and troops from the homosexual agenda.  We got some of the same protections YOUR FAXES have been demanding~ which proves YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE~ AGAIN~ by signing our petitions to Congress.  

And the homosexual bloggers are angry.  According to LGBTQ nation:

1) "The first of the three amendments was sponsored by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) requires that — in addition to the certifications already required from the President~ the Secretary of Defense~ and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — all four military service chiefs also certify that implementation of the ‘Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell’ repeal would not impact combat readiness. [Chaps comment: This could postpone repeal indefinitely…]

2) "The second amendment~ from Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.)~ reaffirms that DOMA [the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act] still applies to Defense Department regulations and policies…

3) "The third amendment~ from Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.)~ prohibits the use of military facilities or personnel for marriage ceremonies between same-sex couples~ and also prohibits military chaplains or civilian Defense Department employees from officiating gay weddings."  [Chaps comment: Chaplains and chapels won’t be forced to welcome sin.]

Sadly~ the provision protecting a chaplains’ right to pray "in Jesus name" was not included this year~ as it was last year~ but it could still be added in the Senate~ so we must fight on!

And with Harry Reid (D-NV) in charge of the Senate~ these provisions could be stripped out if we don’t demand the Senate keep the 3 good amendments listed above.  WE MUST BURY THE U.S. SENATE IN FAX PAPER FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS.  Can you help?

Former Navy Chaplain Klingenschmitt was interviewed Tuesday by investigative reporter Mike Gooding of WVEC-13~ the ABC affiliate covering the world’s largest Naval Station Norfolk~ concerning the shocking new memo signed by Chief of Navy Chaplains RADM Mark L. Tidd~ a liberal Presbyterian who attempted to authorized homosexual weddings in Navy Chapels~ after pressure by lawyers with the Obama Administration.  Watch the breaking news video here~ and don’t say I didn’t predict this over a year ago:

At least one unnamed "Navy chaplain has already resigned because of the Obama policy~" which threatened his religious freedom~ as reported by CBN news
.

But here’s the good news:  The homosexualization of our U.S. military can still be stopped or delayed~ thanks to a new measure passed by Congressman Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-CA)~ who just introduced legislation to expand the certification requirement to include input from each of the four service chiefs.   

Currently President Obama’s new law repealing the "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell" (DADT) policy allowing open homosexual service cannot go into effect until 3 people~ the President~ Secretary of Defense~ and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff all certify the troops have been trained and military readiness will not be hurt.  But Congressman Hunter’s new proposal would expand that certification authority to 7 people~ including all 4 top Generals in the Army~ Air Force~ Marines~ and the top Admiral in the Navy.  

"Congress could at this point delay or derail the end to the military’s gay ban. Rep. Duncan Hunter has introduced legislation that would expand the certification requirement to include input from each of the service chiefs~ which~ if enacted into law~ could disrupt the repeal process~" reports the pro-homosexual newspaper Washington Blade.  

Last year all four top officers testified against repeal of DADT.  If these same four officers were empowered to "not certify" that open homosexuality is safe for our troops unit cohesion~ then the old 1993 DADT policy could remain the law forever.
