| JOBS~ JOBS~ JOBS. Get Obama off backs of Small Business. Sign Petition! NEW PETITION! Save and CREATE JOBS by freezing federal government regulations of small businesses~ which employ 99.7% of all working Americans. Sign petition here~ and we will instantly fax it to all 535 Congressmen and Senators (saving you much time!)Stocks Crash. Zero Jobs Created. Obama Doubles Unemployed. Take Action! Stocks are down again today on poor jobs reports~ as if more proof were needed of President Obama’s failure to create jobs. "The U.S. economy failed to add any new jobs in August caused European and Asian stock markets to sink sharply Monday~" reported AP. "That jobs figure [ZERO JOBS CREATED] was far below economists’ already tepid expectations for 93~000 new U.S. jobs and renewed concerns that the U.S. recovery is not only slowing but actually unwinding. U.S. hiring figures for June and July were also revised lower~ only adding to the gloom." New reports from the Department of Labor show the unemployment rate ha  s nearly doubled in the first two years of President Obama’s leadership. In 2008 under President Bush unemployment averaged just 5.8%~ but by 2010 after two years of Obama the unemployed rate rose to 9.6%. This is second highest unemployment rate in over 60 years. In 2011 the unemployment rate is averaging 9.01%~ making this the first time since the Great Depression that unemployment has held above 9% three years in a row. Obamanomics has created the worst economy in four generations. But we have good news. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has proposed a bill that would actually create jobs~ called S.1438~ the Regulation Moratorium and Jobs Preservation Act of 2011. According to the Small Business Association~ small businesses employ 99.7% of all working Americans~ and are responsible for 75% of all new jobs created. Small business is the driving force of the American economy as much today as ever.Sen. DeMint is sponsoring a bill that calls for all Government agencies to STOP expanding regulatory compliance costs~ until unemployment shrinks to 7.7%. Let’s petition 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen to STOP OVER-REGULATING SMALL BUSINESSES… Please select here to SIGN NEW PETITION to PASS S. 1438 the REGULATION MORATORIUM AND JOBS PERSERVATION ACT OF 2011~ and we will auto-fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!) The Obama Administraion has been over-regulating small businesses with "fees" as a "hidden tax" that cost American business more then $1.75 trillion each year. Obama spent trillions bailing out Big Wall Street banks in 2009~ has not offered so much as a penny to help the small town firm or farmer many were the hardest hit in the recession~ and had to lay people off and in many cases closed their doors entirely. Now as scary as these numbers are~ they only hide the real depth of the problem. The "dirty little secret" about unemployment numbers is that they only count unemployed people actively searching for jobs. Obama does not count what economists call "discouraged workers" or "underemployed" workers with part-time jobs. A discouraged worker actively seeks employment but did not find a job in one year of searching. Some people have been out of work so long~ that Obama no longer counts them as unemployed. Even if you look for a job every day~ you no longer matter to the politicians~ who only care about their re-election~ so they fudge the unemployment numbers to make themselves look good~ (despite the fact they over-regulated YOU out of a job). Another group of people the "underemployed" or over-qualified for the job they have. The medical doctor who drives a taxi because its the only employment he can find~ is not counted as unemployed. Also not counted: people who work seasonal jobs~ and students who just graduated college and are still looking for their first job. When all these people are counted~ The Economic Policy Institute adds at least 11 million unemployed Americans. According to the Department of Labor 9.1% equals 14 million~ so if you add the missing 11 million~ Obama’s true unemployment rate is closer to 16%. Stopping the White House and its agencies from bullying extra "regulatory fee" taxes out of small business owners forces them to employ less people. Obama’s greed for big-government power has directly cost millions of Americans their jobs. Unlike big banks~ the small business man of America is not asking for an $8 trillion goverment handout~ rather "They want the regulators off their back~ the National Labor Relations Board to stop pushing the union agenda~ and try to help companies that create jobs~" said Senator DeMint. Let’s help put America back to work~ by petitioning Congress to get off the backs of small busi Please select here to SIGN NEW PETITION to PASS S. 1438 the REGULATION MORATORIUM AND JOBS PERSERVATION ACT OF 2011~ and we will auto-fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!) Let’s honor Labor Day by helping small business owners hire some labor! Even if you’re fully employed~ chances are good you know and love somebody who isn’t. Let’s get Obama~ Pelosi~ and Reid off their backs~ and help them get back to work.

Petition to NYC Mayor Bloomberg to Invite Clergy to 9/11 Ceremony
PLEASE ADD YOUR “AMEN” TO THE FREE PETITION BELOW!
NYC Mayor Bloomberg banned clergy from praying at the 9/11 ceremony
Corroborating Proof Articles:
Bloomberg facing legal challenge to censorship of faith “Clergy Ban” at 9/11 Memorial Inspires Complaint
NYC Mayor Bloomberg bans clergy from 9/11 Memorial
In a sad display of anti-Christian censorship~ Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City has banned clergy from participating or praying at the 10th anniversary 9/11 memorial ceremony honoring the victims of terrorist attacks from September 11th~ 2001
Today I spoke with Bishop Dan Johnson~ a 9/11 first-responder clergyman who ministered to the dead and dying in New York City on Sept 11th~ 2001. For the last nine years~ Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg invited Bishop Johnson to the annual ceremony~ but this year he was told by Mayor Bloomberg’s staff that he cannot attend “in his capacity as clergyman~” but only in his capacity as first-responder. And he dare not pray aloud.
“It’s unbelievable~” says Southern Baptist leader Richard Land. “We live in a country where the overwhelming majority of people identify as Christian or have a religion~ and clergy were some of the first people to respond on 9/11 to minister to victims. Why aren’t they welcome today?”
“I’m stunned~” said Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association. “This event affected the whole psyche and soul of the country~ and you are going to have no prayer? What’s a memorial service if you are going to leave God out of it completely? It seems kind of hollow.”
Mayor Bloomberg warned on a radio show that the event “cannot be political” and said it would offer a “poem or quote or something that each one of the readers will read” with “no speeches whatsoever.”

Bibles For the World: Donate
Christian Friends,
Please consider this important message below, from my dear friend Rochunga Pudaite. His organization is called BIBLES FOR THE WORLD. For $2.50 U.S., they can print and mail one native-language Bible to the home of one family in India that has never read God’s Word. And thanks to matching funds of a generous donor, your gifts are doubled, so your $100 gift can print and mail not just 40 Bibles, but 80 Bibles to poor families around the world, and give them the hope of God’s Word!
God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,
Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt
Dear Friends,
Have you ever stopped to think about what it would be like to live without God’s Word? It’s a terrifying thought! I can’t imagine not having my Bible close by, ready to illuminate the mind and heart of God whenever I need it.
I can’t imagine never knowing the comfort of Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Or the strength of Psalm 73:26: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
Or the power of John 16:33: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
Every day, the news has reports of people around the world who are facing famine. Today, more than 925 million people are going hungry. That’s a shocking fact, and certainly, as Christians, we need to do whatever we can to relieve their suffering, in Jesus’ name.
But there’s another kind of famine that also plagues our world. It is a spiritual famine. Just as with physical hunger, hundreds of millions of people in the world do not have nourishment for their souls, food to grow in true faith, or sustenance for their hearts and minds. That’s because, unlike you and me, they do not have access to God’s Word or the salvation in Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life, that it reveals.
SELECT HERE TO DONATE TO BIBLES FOR THE WORLD, and for just $2.50 you can help print and mail one TWO native-language Bible New Testaments to poor people worldwide. Your gifts will be matched and doubled up to $10,000!
As the Psalmist wrote… “Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.” (Ps. 119:11)
At Bibles For The World, we are committed to feeding people spiritually by placing copies of God’s Word directly into their homes, and hands.We don’t want even one person in our world to experience spiritual famine. We want everyone to know the comfort, strength and power of the Bible that we are so blessed to know. Mawii and I urge you to join us today in committing to end spiritual famine in the world!

STOP UN VOTE TO SEIZE JERUSALEM FROM ISRAEL. SIGN PETITION! HOT PETITION! Sign to support PRO-ISRAEL H.Res. 297 and 271 which defends Israel’s right to defend her borders~ and rejecting President Obama’s call for a return to the indefensible 1967 borders. We will auto-fax 535 Congressmen/Senators. We’ve already delivered 263~000 petitions for Israel. Can you help us reach 300~000? 150 Iranian rockets bomb Israel~ but Ron Paul says "Let Iran Have Nukes!" Prime Minister Netanyahu directly tied the rocket attackes to Iran~ telling 25 visiting U.S. Republican Congressmen: "those who fire missiles at Israel are supported by Iran with weapons~ money and training. They constitute a forward Iranian post on our borders. Just as Iran threatens us~ so too it threatens the US." But Presidential Candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) said this week Iran should be armed with nuclear weapons~ and America should not defend Israel~ even if Iran annihilates Jews. Watch Ron Paul on 2 minute video~ saying Iran needs nuclear weapons. Ron Paul was one of only 6 Congressmen who voted "NO" in a 407-6 vote on H.Res 268 to help Israel last month~ when 13 liberal Democrats voted "PRESENT." Iran President Ahmadinejad says Iran will have full nuclear capability by December 2011~ and also repeatedly has threatened genocide against the Jews. He has said: 2005: "I have no doubt that the new wave [of violence against Jews] that has started in Palestine~ and we witness it in the Islamic world too~ will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world." 2008: "Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime…are seriously mistaken. Today the reason for the Zionist regime’s existence is questioned~ and this regime is on its way to annihilation…You should know that the criminal and terrorist Zionist regime…has reached the end of its work and will soon disappear off the geographical scene." May 2011: " … like a cancer cell that spreads through the body~ this regime infects any region. It must be removed from the body." [He’s still saying it~ folks…] Ahmadinejad is the dictator Ron Paul wants to arm with nuclear weapons? Seriously? If it wasn’t bad enough when Ron Paul promoted marijuana and homosexualized the military~ Ron Paul wants nukes for Muslim terrorists who are already launching Rockets now killing Jews? Let’s call Ron Paul’s office today at (202) 225-2831~ and demand he retract implied support for Iran’s nuclear destruction of Israel. Then forward this blog widely. Let’s fax 535 Senators/Reps to de-fund the UN if they dare divide Jerusalem next month… SELECT HERE TO SIGN URGENT PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS~ NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND~ AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORD Israelis and Palestinians are taking counter-opposite actions before the September vote at the United Nations (UN) to seize Jerusalem and declare Palestine an independent state. Let’s compare this week’s tactics: 1) Palestinian television is praising suicide-bombers as martyrs~ while 2) Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is sending hand-delivered personal letters to every world leader pleading for Israel’s life at the September UN vote. Xinhua Chinese News Agency reports: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dispatched members of his cabinet to personally hand letters to foreign heads of states urging them to vote against a bid by the Palestinians to secure recognition of a state at the United Nations in September. Some 40 international leaders – in Asia~ Africa and Latin America – received a letter signed by Netanyahu~ which underscores Israel’s position that a unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood would undermine the peace process." Netanyahu’s letter to each world leader said in part: "Ahead of the UN General Assembly’s September session I ask you to object to a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state… Regardless of the path the Palestinians will choose~ their appeal to the UN attempts to avoid negotiations based on mutual compromises and breaches the existing agreements between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority." Meanwhile~ Palestinian TV has started airing a new show called "The Best Moms~" which is not a tribute to good parenting~ loving marriages~ or chocolate chip cookies~ rather it shows the speeches made by mothers who are suicide-bombers who murder innocent civilians~ and abandon their children. You can watch a short clip of the program here. Since Palestinian TV is controlled by the government of the Palestinian Authority~ it reveals President Abbas’ plan to stir up an angry mob to declare war against Israel immediately after the September UN vote to seize Jerusalem. Contrast this with the peaceful pleas of PM Netanyahu who writes letters urging world leaders to simply let Israel keep their own land. Netanyahu continues to call for peace talks~ and Abbas refuses to deal~ vowing instead to violate the 1993 Oslo Accords with unilateral action. Let’s demand the U.S. Congress de-fund the UN if they vote to seize Jerusalem from Israel… After YOU helped fax 254~000 petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding they defend Israel~ 26 Democrat Congressmen led by minority whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) flew to Israel for a visit. But Democrats apparently forgot U.S. law prohibits funding Hamas terrorists. The Jerusalem Post reports: "Asked whether Congress would cut off aid to the PA if it goes through with its bid for statehood recognition at the UN~ despite strong US objections~ Hoyer – saying he did not want to prejudge the issue – While Hoyer apparently glossed over that part of the bill (and of existing U.S. law) for which 407 Congressmen voted~ the 55 pro-Israel Republican Congressmen will not forget the text of their own vote (as Hoyer did)~ since H.Res 268 clearly reminds us WHAT U.S. LAW CURRENTLY SAYS: "Resolved: That the House of Representatives…reaffirms the United States statutory requirement precluding assistance to a Palestinian Authority that includes Hamas unless that Authority and all its ministers publicly accept Israel’s right to exist and all prior agreements and understandings with the United States and Israel." In other words~ Mr. Hoyer forgot that American federal law already prohibits funding the Palestinian Authority at all~ if they violate the 1993 Oslo Accords~ and join the Hamas terrorists to declare independence illegally this September. Mr. Hoyer~ stop equivocating on your pretend support for Israel~ and tell them the truth~ that American law requires defunding Palestinians if they violate the 1993 Oslo Accords. Let’s remind all 535 Congressmen and Senators~ especially those visiting Israel now and next week~ that we the American people stand behind Israel… SELECT HERE TO SIGN URGENT PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS~ NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND~ AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS. (WE WILL AUTO-FAX YOUR PETITION TO 535 U.S. CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS!) Palestinians refuse to return to the negotiating table~ instead pushing forward with plans to ask the United Nations to recognize their independence in September~ a move that could lead to war. Salam Fayyad~ the Prime Minister of the Palestinian authority~ warned that his own President Mahmoud Abbas is raising public expectations for independence~ which the UN vote cannot grant. "The truth is the day after the vote will the same as the day before~" he complained that Abbas is deceiving the Palestinian people into expecting independence that the UN cannot grant. The angry mob is rising. Polls confirm Abbas is deceiving his own people. A reporter in Haifa Israel quoted a recent survey of Palestinians that "the public supports the September process~" but "the minute the leadership returns from New York~ Palestinian youths expect them to begin exercising absolute sovereignty." Palestinian PM Fayyad admitted President Abbas is deceiving the public. All of the public discussion "is based on a false premise. What I find objectionable is that this has not been explained to the Palestinian people~" Fayyad said. Jews in Israel fear the crisis coming in September. The reporter in Haifa Israel said "Around here~ everyone is deeply concerned about September. In fact~ that’s just about the only thing anyone is talking about." The bottom line: War is coming. Abbas will force a UN vote~ which Obama may not veto~ but even if we do veto~ Palestinians are raising an army (see below)~ and their civilian angry mobs will soon declare independence~ because Abbas has lied to them~ claiming the UN vote will grant independence~ when it cannot. Hoards of angry young Palestinians will not understand the limits of the UN vote~ and will take to the streets in violence~ calling for Israel’s and America’s destruction. Israel gives land~ but gets no peace. And our U.S. Congress has not demanded the UN stop their vote. "The Palestinian Authority (PA) is quietly and illegally increasing the size of its military~ in preparation to fight Israel for control of Jerusalem in September~ when the United Nations (UN) may recognize Palestine’s independence and seize Jerusalem without Israeli permission. IsraelNationalNews.com reports the PA Army has exceeded its legal size limit by 25%~ but plans to grow their Army even more: One pro-Israel U.S. Congressman has introduced a brand new law to de-fund the United Nations if they dare to seize Israeli land~ or if President Obama fails to veto any Palestinian land-grab of Jerusalem without permission from Israel. Congressman Louis Gohmert (R-TX) led 45 Members of Congress with Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) this week by introducing H.Res 271 supporting Israel’s right to defend its own borders~ against attack by Hamas terroists~ Iranian nuclear ambitions~ and the Obama Administration. The Evening Prayer Weekly National News Alert 1. Sunday 14 Aug 11 One Minute Prayer: Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ we are grieved by the pro-homosexual leaders who have taken over Marquette University~ a Jesuit Catholic school~ and who have violated the teachings of Saint Ignatius of Loyola by punishing InterVarsity Bible Study students~ because they rejected the leadership of a Bible Study leader who boasted of his open homosexuality~ and refused to repent. Thank God for those who stood up for biblical ethics~ and we pray for the probation to be dismissed. As Proverbs 14:12 reminds us~ there is a way which seems right to man~ but the end leads to death. In Jesus Name. Amen. Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ bless the two 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Judges who struck down the unconstitutional “individual mandate” in the Obamacare socialized health care law that illegally forced all Americans to buy private health care insurance or face severe tax penalties. We now pray that all of Obamacare would be struck down so that Americans are not subjected to socialized medicine~ tax-funded abortions~ horrible care and death panels. We rejoice today from Proverbs 29:2 – “When the righteous rule~ the people rejoice~ when the wicked rule~ the people groan.” In Jesus Name. Amen. Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ we pray for a victory at the Colorado Supreme Court whose judges have been petitioned by the Alliance Defense Fund to stop taxpayer funding of abortion~ and to uphold the state Constitution that prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to kill innocent children. In 1984 Colorado voters approved the Abortion Funding Prohibition Amendment~ which stops the direct or indirect funding of abortion~ but this year Planned Parenthood is trying to overturn the law and the will of the people. From Deuteronomy 30:19 we pray the court would choose life. In Jesus Name. Amen. New Jersey Man Ordered to Remove Cross from His Front Yard Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ thank you for the faithful example of Patrick Racaniello who honored Lent by placing a cross on a tree in his own yard~ but endured persecution by the police~ who ordered him to remove the cross because a neighbor complained. Thank you for The Alliance Defense Fund who was able to help Racaniello work with the city~ who ruled he can have the cross in his yard~ but in a Pray for the Defense of Marriage Act Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ the sanctity of traditional marriage is under attack in America~ by forces that want to redefine marriage as anything but a union between one man and one woman~ the way God defined marriage in Genesis 2 when you gave Eve to be the wife of Adam. We ask for courage and action from Congress to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment~ and that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act would also be protected by courts throughout America. Raise up godly leaders who will not waver on traditional marriage. In Jesus Name. Amen. Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ we pray for all 535 members of Congress to take action and pass a balance budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution~ without taxing churches or charities~ raising the debt ceiling~ or tax increases~ and would cut wasteful spending and pay down the national debt. We agree with Proverbs 22:7 that the rich rule over the poor~ and the borrower is the slave of the lender. Forgive our nation for the financial debt and irresponsibility of our leaders who disregard financial common sense. Help Congress to do the right thing for America. Please select~ sign and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 Senators and Congressmen to Repeal Obamacare – and defund Abortion! Muslims Beat and Threaten to Burn Christian Women in India Let Us Pray. Almighty God~ we pray for Selina Bibi~ Moyazan Bibi~ Aimazon Bibi and Surija Bibi who have all been targeted by Muslim extremists and threatened with being burned alive for their faith in Jesus~ and were also forced to stop buying or selling goods at the store and getting water from the local well. Selina Bibi was horrifically sexually abused for her faith by Muslim men~ so we proclaim Galatians 6:17~ the honor that she bears on her body is the scars she received for Jesus. Surround your servants with protection. In Jesus Name. Amen. Prayer has power when many join together… Please forward this email to praying friends.

NEW PETITION to Stop Obama’s next liberal Judge VICTORIA NOURSE, the pro-Abortion, anti-Marriage Liberal seeking promotion to 7th Circuit. Please select, sign, and WE WILL AUTO-FAX your petition to ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS (saving you hours!) Senate Judiciary considers Pro-Abortion, Anti-Marriage Judge Today. Take action! The Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC) will meet today Thursday to consider President Obama’s worst Judge yet, and Conservative Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is asking for your help to defeat Judge Victoria Nourse, who wants to re-write the Constitution. If you have a moment, please call all 18 members of the SJC listed here, at 202-225-3121. Dial that same number 18 times, and request each Senator on the above list by name, and simply say “Please oppose and filibuster Judge Victoria Nourse for the 7th Circuit Court.” If you don’t have time to make 18 phone calls, save time; blast-fax 100 Senators here. Pro-life Senator Johnson opposes Judge Victoria Nourse, saying in his recent op-ed article: “Unlike Obama and the Senate Democrats, I respect the will of Wisconsin’s voters. That is why I have not submitted my blue slip to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the judicial nomination of…Victoria Nourse. “Wisconsin voters also have expressed a number of concerns with Nourse’s nomination to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. For starters, seats on the Circuit Court are allotted among the states in that circuit so there will be judges on the bench with experience actually practicing law in each state’s system. Nourse does not fit the bill. “Nourse was not even licensed to practice law in Wisconsin until Dec. 7, 2010, almost six months after Obama first nominated her. “Obama first nominated her on July 14, 2010, before I was even elected to the Senate. Nonetheless, the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee never held a hearing on her nomination and Senate Democrats never attempted to schedule a vote on it. “Many voters in Wisconsin have been asking why the Democrats chose not to advance Nourse’s nomination when they controlled a nearly filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.” Let’s help Senator Johnson stop Victoria Nourse, whose own words prove she wants to re-write the U.S. Constitution without consent from the Congress or the States. See below. Our friend Philip Jauregui at the conservative Judicial Action Group (JAG) alerted us to possibly the worst judicial nominee yet by President Obama: Judge Victoria Nourse seeks promotion to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling over Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Nourse is even worse than Goodwin Liu, Robert Chatigny, and Steve Six, the 3 judges YOU STOPPED from being confirmed in the Senate with our fax petitions. Judge Victoria Nourse must also be stopped now, and one heroic Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has already promised to filibuster her nomination, but Democrats are still pushing for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee to forward her nomination to the full Senate. According to JAG, Nourse is bad for several reasons: 1) Nourse – An Advocate for “New Legal Realism” – is Critically Opposed to “Textualism” and “Strict Constructionism.” Nourse believes that there are two primary camps of judicial thought: formalists (textualists) and “new legal realists.” As a new legal realist, Nourse is opposed to the textualists views of Justice Antonin Scalia…She criticizes textualists who “…contend that judges will be restrained from engaging in politicized ‘lawmaking’ by standing closely to the text.” 2) Nourse Praises the Results-Based “Radical Theory of Judging” That Departed From the Text of the Law and Reached Decisions Based on Facts Rather Than Law. Nourse writes: “The old legal realists were enormously successful in positing a radical theory of judging as a challenge to formalist [textualist] legal reasoning. This theory’s core claim is that [legal] doctrine alone cannot determine outcomes and that judges respond (and should respond) to facts and factual contexts. So, too, each of the varieties of new legal realism builds from this core claim.” [Chaps comment: Nourse also believes in an evolving, “self-transcending” Constitution. Watch the scary video below…] 3) Nourse Opposes the Individual Right to Bear Arms. In her law review article on so-called “New Legal Realism,” Nourse is highly critical of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Heller that upheld the Second Amendment’s textual grant of “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Contradicting the text of the Second Amendment, Nourse asserts that the Heller Court found “new rights, such as the right to bear arms.” [Didn’t we have the right to bear arms long ago? When did that ‘new’ right suddenly appear?] We need to take action. Let’s petition all 100 Senators right away… 4) Nourse Errantly Argues That Judges Can Amend the Text of the Constitution Acting As If Their Own Mini “Constitutional Convention.” In an hour long video-taped speech at Emory University (watch video here), Nourse addresses what she calls the problem of “the difficulty of a constitutional text that stays the same and a world that changes.” She explains how the constitution can be amended outside of the “arduous” means provided in the constitution: Nourse states: “… the constitution changes as the people who constitute the nation change – as they participate and take control of their government – as they re-constitute themselves. The separation of powers has always been since our founding – the means by which the Constitution may change [re-written by judges] in practice legitimately short of the far more arduous and almost impossible amendment process [as provided at Article V of the text of the Constitution]…When the people converge through the means of the separation of powers over a long period of time a constitutional convention arises. Theseconstitutional conventions…are embodied not in formal amendments but in what Yale’s Bill Eskridge has called small “c” constitutionalism [including] court rulings…which re-constitute the people and their image of themselves. This kind of small “c” constitutional change is as important, indeed, sometimes more important than the more traditional kinds of change through the amendment process.” 5) Nourse’s advocacy in favor of judicial usurpation of legislative power – even usurpation of constitutional power – is anti-constitutional. Her view makes a mockery of the constitution and would grant as few as five judges the ability to amend the constitution according to their own political views. 6) Nourse is Critical of Constitutional Textualism; She Makes the Claim That the Constitution’s Grants of Power “Govern No One.” Nourse believes: “[t]he standard view of the Constitution – held today by most conventional constitutional law scholars, I would add – is a weak, or qualified, version of the old positivist position. The idea is that the Constitution is a law (albeit a higher one), that law is command, and that command is to be found in the text.” Nourse goes so far as to argue that to remove the “vesting clauses” of the Constitution which divide power between the executive, legislative, and judicial branch would have no impact on the meaning of the Constitution. Nourse specifically references the Article I, Section 1 requirement that “All legislative Power herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States” and argues that “[t]hese descriptive words, assumed to be the most important and naturalized text in our Constitution, do nothing in and of themselves. They govern no one.” Per Nourse, if that the exclusive grant of legislative power to Congress “govern[s] no one” then judges are free to legislate their own policy preferences from the bench. 7) Nourse Advocates that International Law Should Supercede the Constitution, in a “New Legal Realism” in Which “The Power of Globalization on All of Our Lives is Recognized.” Nourse writes: “State law, including the frame of state constitutional law, is increasingly rivaled by law otherwise spatially extended, including sub-state law, regional supranational law, transnational domain-specific private ordering, hybrid public-private ordering and, increasingly, new forms of global legal regime that neither claim universality nor obviously emanate from nor respect the aggregative sovereign will.” 8) Nourse Wrote the Unconstitutional Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) and Compares Senators Who Opposed Her to People Who “Support Lynching.” This Act was overturned by the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Morrison because the Constitution does not provide Congress with the authority to enact the civil remedy provision under the Commerce Clause (Article I) or the Enforcement Clause (Fourteenth Amendment). She states: “[just as it is] difficult to believe any Senator could support lynching, it is difficult to believe they could oppose the Violence Against Women Act.” Accordingly, it is reasonable to question whether Nourse possesses the requisite temperament to serve as a federal appellate jurist. 9) Nourse Discounts The Existence and Influence of Natural Law and Fundamental Rights. The United States Declaration of Independenceexplicitly states that we have been “endowed by Our creator with certain unalienable rights,” yet Victoria Nourse has stated that “Real life, and reading hundreds of cases, have taught me that the natural in the law is quite unnatural,quite ‘made’ in the image of human relations, and that this is not simply a theoretical trope, that this ‘madeness’ is quite real and demonstrable.” 10) Victoria Nourse Describes Herself as a Zealot and Feminist. Nourse calls herself an “accidental feminist,” and looks up to feminist extremist such as Martha Fineman as role models. Fineman believes that caregiving and emotional nurturing are “gendered” activities that cause women to be undervalued. Nourse co-authored the book “Cases and Materials on Feminist Jurisprudence: Taking Women Seriously” and numerous other articles on the same subject. Let’s take action! Please sign our NEW petition to fax 100 Senators instantly… If you have time, please watch the video of Judge Victoria Nourse disrespecting the U.S. Constitution by explaining how it evolves over time, calling it the “self-transcending” Constitution. That’s crazy code for “Judges can amend its meaning without Congress.” No way. This lady needs to be filibustered. Thanks for taking a stand with us. We’ve stopped our last 3 judges. Let’s go for 4.

Pro-Israel Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH~ pictured right–>) who chairs the Subcommittee for mid-East relations~ introduced H.Res 297~ which says the United States should
