Atheists try to ban Student-led prayer at Florida School Flagpole

The Sunshine State of Florida hosts more than one debate this month, not only for Tuesday’s GOP primary election, but also a hot battle on prayer in school.

The Clay County Fla. School District will host a workshop in late February to discuss whether to allow student-initiated prayer around the flag pole, and let teachers or citizens pray on public sidewalks too.  School Board member Charlie Van Zant told The Christian Post that the School Board was talking with law firms about whether to allow students to participate in optional prayer in classrooms as well.

In November an atheist group, The Freedom From Religion Foundation, complained that a local Baptist Pastor Ron Baker dared to join students for prayer at the flag pole, which he had done for 12 years without opposition.

The FFRF’s letter to school authorities complained that prayer was “grossly inappropriate for principles, teachers, other public school employees, or outside adults to actively participate in or promote student-run religious organizations and activities.”

But the president of Biblical Ministries, Dr. Raymond Johnson, responded that “Baker had been praying there for years, with no problem.”  Apparently prayer is no problem for Florida kids, parents, teachers, or pastors, but the Wisconsin-based FFRF got offended from 1,400+ miles away.

In a letter to school Superintendent Ben Worthman, the Christian lawfirm Liberty Counsel stated that FFRF is ignoring the rights of the individuals partaking in school prayer: Students and adults alike “have First Amendment rights, and all staff and teachers may exercise them when they are not ‘on the clock’ or otherwise acting in their official capacity as representatives of the school district,” they wrote.

We need to take a stand, not just for kids religious freedom, but also for teachers, coaches, pastors, community leaders, and Mom and Dad, to preserve their legal right to pray everywhere, starting at school board meetings.

Let’s petition 100 Senators to pass S. Res 18 encouraging optional public prayer at school board meetings across the nation.  (And keep up the pressure for Veteran’s rights and the FDR memorial, with all three items in the same petition…)

Congress voted Tuesday to add FDR’s Prayer to WWII memorial.  Senate votes next!

Our dear friend Chris Long at Ohio Christian Alliance has alerted us to a BIG VOTE IN CONGRESS last week (Tuesday) on whether President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer should be engraved in the World War II memorial.  The House passed the bill by a voice vote, so now the U.S. Senate must take action.

Call your Rep and both Senators at 202-225-3121 today, and say “Vote Yes on H.R. 2070, for the FDR prayer to be engraved at the World War II memorial.”  Then please sign our urgent petition and we will fax all 535 members of the House and Senate.

The Committee on Natural Resources voted in favor and sent to the floor for full House vote on the “World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011” (H.R. 2070), over the objections of the Obama Administration.

The Obama Administration has promoted all the lies they can think of to stop this prayer display.  First Obama’s people claimed the prayer would violate the Commemorative Act, but Republicans quickly attached an amendment stating the prayer display does not break any such laws.

Next the White House claimed it would be to costly to honor our WWII veterans wishes.   (President Obama has no problem spending trillions on socialized medicine and abortion funding, but cannot bear a few thousand dollars to simply engrave FDR’s historic prayer words in concrete.)  So Republicans countered by amending the bill to require non-federal funds be used to hire the engraver, costing ZERO dollars to taxpayers.

Finally Obama’s people said it would be “offensive” to veterans, but real veterans overwhelmingly support adding FDR’s historic prayer.  Many veterans groups have endorsed the idea.  Only atheist complainers (not veterans) oppose free religious speech.

FDR publicly called on “Almighty God” for strength as American troops fought valiantly to save the world from Nazi tyranny.  Chris Long stated, “President Roosevelt’s prayer articulated the great crusade that was underway to liberate millions suffering under tyranny.”

FDR prayed that God give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, “With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.”  You can watch and listen to F.D.R’s prayer here, in another unforgettable 2-minute video.

Let’s remind Congress (and Obama) that Almighty God helped America defeat tyranny, and God must be honored today, just like FDR honored God on D-Day back then.

FDR’s family wants Prayer Bill to pass Congress.  They need our help!

The bill that will add an inscription of the prayer spoken by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) on D-Day to the World War II Memorial on the National Mall has passed out of  committee by unanimous consent and is waiting for a full floor vote in the House of Representatives.  But FDR’s prayer still faces an uphill battle, and we must act now!

Sadly, the Obama administration opposes honoring prayer, even by a former Democrat President in FDR.  The Bureau of Land Management a division of the Department of the Interior Director Robert Abby told the House Committee “the Interior Department opposes its inclusion because it would intrude on the WWII Monument.” Really?  President Obama thinks historic prayer speech is an “intrusion” and should be banned?

More sadly, the Obama Administration is trying to argue H.R. 2070 would create a separate memorial commemorating FDR’s prayer.  THIS IS A LIE!  The bill simply adds the prayer words, to be etched in stone in a blank spot on the existing memorial.  It does not create special memorial for a prayer, or cost any more than a simple engraving.  Not surprisingly, Obama personally forgot to thank God for His blessings during his Thanksgiving speech, remarking instead how “lucky” we are as a nation.

While this bill has a very good chance to pass the House, it faces trouble in Harry Reid’s liberal anti-Christian Senate.  It’s here in the Senate that Obama’s lie about a separate memorial will be used to shoot this bill down or to block it from even getting a vote on the Senate floor.  This historic prayer by FDR was offered to God (watch 2-minute video) at one of the defining moments of the greatest generation and in U.S. history.  Any monument to victory should honor God as the source of that victory, out of respect for the faith of those who fought WWII, a generation not afraid to bend a knee and pray. President Obama yet again seeks to alter history to fit his socialist, homosexual, humanist, anti-Jesus agenda, and erase God from history!

I got an email this week from FDR’s relatives, saying:  “The family descendants of Franklin DELANO Roosevelt ..namely the DELANO family of Western NY and California along with the DELANO kindred DEMAND the prayer be on our family memorial!  We are a family of faith filled patriots to this CHRISTIAN country! In fact I recommend you contact the DELANO family and kindred to protest and write the president and congress on this matter. I will contact Congressman Higgins, but don’t count on ANY help from him or for that matter ANY NY elected official. They are all far left.  –Cheryl DELANO”

Thank you Cheryl Delano, and thanks to your family for helping us honor FDR’s prayer.  Everybody please help me join Cheryl’s effort to add FDR’s prayer to the WWII memorial!

Obama says “No” to prayer by F.D.R. on D-Day Memorial.  Take action!

We have a new opportunity to petition Congress to PASS H.R. 2070 when they vote very soon, whether to add the prayer said by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as an inscription on the World War II memorial on the national mall in Washington DC.

On D-Day, 6 June 1944, F.D.R. said a prayer on national radio, that addressed “Almighty God” and requested God’s blessing on our troops and victory in battle.  God answered that prayer, but now the Obama Administration would rather that prayer be forgotten, when we have a chance to etch that prayer in stone forever.

Congress will reportedly vote this week on H.R. 2070 whether to add that prayer, etched in stone on the W.W.II memorial, but last month the Obama Administration recommended “NO” to the prayer, saying “altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in HR 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial’s central message.”

Say what?  How can President Roosevelt’s solemn prayer dilute the message of religious freedom? Let’s demand Congress honor “Almighty God” by adding prayer to the memorial.

Atheists Bully Pastor to Stop “See You At The Pole” School Prayers

The pastor of a church in Florida moved his weekly morning prayers away from a public school flagpole after 11 years of prayer this week, because atheist complainers and a school board lawyer threatened legal action to stop his religious expression.

The Florida Baptist Witness blog reports:  “Pastor Ron Baker has agreed to move prayer meetings previously held at school flagpoles to adjacent properties in an ‘amicable resolution’ with the Clay County School Board late in the day on Nov. 10.

“Baker, pastor of Russell Baptist Church in Green Cove Springs, agreed to move the prayer times after the School Board’s attorney indicated he would use any means necessary to remove the pastor from school properties if the prayers continued.

“‘I don’t want to make the flagpole like an Alamo, the last battle over some piece of territory,’ Baker told Florida Baptist Witness in a Nov. 11 interview. ‘My desire is only that we can have an opportunity to pray for the school and the students, the faculty, staff – to pray for those folks each morning.'”

Atheist complainers are gloating in victory, having moved the prayers off school grounds.

“‘It’s great to see reason prevail,’ said Anne Gaylor of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. ‘I’m so pleased with the response from the school district at this point, treating [Baker] as a public nuisance. This is proper.’

“Gaylor called Baker’s desire to continue the prayers at adjacent properties ‘predatory.’

“‘There’s still just something wrong with this picture,’ she said. ‘There’s some sense of exhibitionism, adults picking on very small children. They should pick on someone their own size.'”

[Question: Do atheists now claim praying on public property is child abuse?]

“Asked about Gaylor’s comments, Baker told the Witness that he is widely known in the community – where he has pastored for 30 years – and there has never been a complaint during the 11 years he has been leading the prayer gatherings.”

Bottom Line:  If we don’t protect teachers, students, parents, and pastors right to free religious expression, and cave in to groups like FFRF and ACLU, before long moms and dads will be jailed for praying in public.  Make no mistake, their objective is to eliminate God from every aspect of our public lives. Give the Devil an inch and he’ll take a mile.

Let’s support Jesus and Prayer in School by telling all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen to pass S. Res. 18 and defend prayer at public school board meetings. If we do not stand up for our Constitutional rights we will lose them forever.

God banned from Veterans Cemeteries, Hospitals, Schools.  Take action!

Freedom of speech to pray publicly “in Jesus name” faces new attacks across America, as the Obama Administration has now fully caved-in to atheist complainers, and helped ban free religious speech from schools to the grave, for teachers and military veterans.

But two new bills before Congress and the Senate could restore religious freedom for Veterans and Teachers, protecting freedom of speech and public prayer rights that generations of Americans have died fighting to protect. They are House Bill H.R. 2848, the  “Veterans Religious Freedom Act,” and Senate Bill S.Res.18, a resolution supporting optional public prayer at school board meetings nationwide.  Our new petition campaign supports these two important bills.

Recently Veterans Affairs (V.A.) Director Arleen Ocasio was rebuked by a federal judge after she outlawed prayers mentioning “Jesus” or “God” form the National Cemetery in Houston TX. Director Ocasio and the Obama Administration reportedly censored and banned any reference to Jesus or God in prayers, cards, and even casual conversation on V.A. Cemetery grounds, public land.  She even turned the Chapel into a storage room!

Ocasio tried to stop heroic Pastor Scott Rainey from praying “in Jesus name,” but he won an emergency court-order stopping the V.A. and restoring his free speech rights.  Federal Judge Lynn Hughes ordered the V.A. and Arleen Ocasio, director of the Houston National Cemetery, to stop censoring the pastor’s right to pray “in Jesus name,” since the Obama Administration violated the First Amendment.  Judge Hughes wrote: “The government cannot gag citizens when it says it is in the interest of national security, and it cannot do it in some bureaucrat’s notion of cultural homogeneity.  The right to free expression ranges from the dignity of Abraham Lincoln’s speeches to Charlie Sheen’s rants.”

Outraged, several pro-faith Republican Congressmen led by Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) have drafted and sponsored the Veteran’s Religious Freedom Act.  “It is the constitutional duty of the federal government to protect speech and religion, not prohibit it.  Government censorship of funeral services for our veterans is unacceptable, unconstitutional and un-American,” said Congressman Poe.  “The policy of the director of the Houston VA Cemetery is anti-Christian, anti-religion and anti-veteran. What has reportedly taken place at the Houston VA Cemetery is inexcusable, and Congress must take immediate action to protect the rights of those who have fought and died for our country.”

This important Veterans Religious Freedom Act, H.R. 2848, provides the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may not:

1) prescribe regulations to censor or otherwise limit the type of religious speech that may be performed by a member of a veterans service organization at the funeral or memorial service of a veteran; or

2) censor or otherwise limit type of religious speech of a private speakers who have been invited to speak on property of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This bill would force Obama’s Director Ocasio to allow free speech honoring Jesus Christ by family members, invited speakers, pastors, and veterans groups at the graves, not only in Houston but all Veterans cemeteries and hospitals nationwide!  Let’s take action now…

Public School Board Meetings also attacked for allowing public prayer by teachers

It’s not just at the grave where public prayer is being attacked.  S.Res.18 calls for the Senate to recognize that prayer before school board meetings is a protected act in accordance with the fundamental principles upon which the Nation was founded, and expresses support for allowing the optional practice of prayer at the beginning of the school board meetings. Senator David Vitter (R- LA) first introduced this bill in 2005 but it has been blocked by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and lobbyist lawyers from the ACLU. The ACLU has bullied school boards over prayer for decades, with empty threats and bogus lawsuits, often lost but sometimes won by liberal activist judges who hate religious freedom of speech.  The time has come to pass S.Res.18 and give conservatives judges the power to support prayer and fight the ACLU.

The ACLU has backed lawsuits against school boards, and criticized us who support school board prayer.  Senator Vitter said:  “I do not share the ACLU’s opinion, and more importantly, the people of Louisiana do not share the ACLU’s opinion.”   Neither does the Supreme Court.  In 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held, in the case of Marsh v. Chambers, that the practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer has become part of the fabric of our society, and is fully constitutional.  “To invoke divine guidance on a public body entrusted with making the laws is not a violation of the Establishment Clause,” wrote the Supreme Court, “but rather is simply an acknowledgement of beliefs widely held among the American people.”

Sadly, even with the court’s ruling defending prayer, the ACLU has not given up attempts to silence prayer in our schools. With President Obama appointing more and more ungodly, anti-Christian, socialist judges to federal benches, we must encourage our Senators and Congressmen to pass a law protecting what is left of Jesus in public schools: the freedom to speak Jesus’ name in public prayer!  Our teachers deserve that freedom, and so do our children deserve God’s blessing.  Let’s take action…

Friends, our veterans and teachers deserve the same religious freedom they defend for others.  Let’s take a stand today, and demand Congress pass both prayer bills, now!

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven,” in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Obama’s Shadow Party Spends $22M to get on Ballot in 12 States

Let Us Pray. Almighty God, Ephesians 5:11 reminds us to not participate in the fruitless deeds of darkness, but instead to expose them. So we ask that Americans would become aware of President Obama’s shadow party called Americans Elect or “AE” who are known for collecting signatures, hiding their donor lists, and supported by the Podesta Group, founded by John Podesta who transitioned Obama into the White House in 2008. They have also allegedly been involved in voter fraud and recording false results with their voter machines. Help people to not be fooled by their deceit, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

New numbers reveal the shocking size of the holocaust:  Planned Parenthood received nearly a half-billion of YOUR tax dollars in 2010 (about $487,400,000) and performed or facilitated 329,445 abortions of otherwise normal, healthy, living, pre-born children.  They referred only 841 total adoptions, so their ratio was 1 adoption for every 391 abortions.

It gets worse.  “Based on a survey…Stop Planned Parenthood is estimating that abortions accounted for more than half of the income brought in by the organization’s ‘health centers’ this past year,” reports LifeNews this morning.  The organization is getting worse, with more of their budget coming from abortions, and less non-abortion services provided.

And they’re getting rich killing kids.  “Planned Parenthood reported over $1 billion in total net assets, which is a new record high,” reports the Susan B. Anthony List.  With affiliate offices in every large city (and many small cities) across America, “the average salary of a CEO at a Planned Parenthood affiliate office is $158,275, [in] the top 6% of all household incomes in the United States. 30 of the top executives receive…$200,000 (the top 2.67%)…, while 18…rank in the top 1.5 percent with annual incomes in excess of $250,000,” says LifeNews.   88% of these have zero health-care experience.  And PP’s CEO Cecile Richards makes $400,000 per year while she lobbies for more of our tax dollars.

This year the House and Senate will likely re-introduce new forms of H.R. 3, the so-called “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.”  This imperfect bill is misnamed, because it still funds abortion in the rare cases of rape and incest, but if it were fixed and passed, it could defund all tax-paid abortions permanently.  We must take a stand in 2012 to stop funding abortion.  Please signing our petition to Congress below.

Please select, sign, and we will fax your petition to all 535 Congressmen and Senators (saving you time!) to DEFUND ALL ABORTIONS, AND SAVE ALL UNBORN CHILDREN, including those born as victims of rape or incest. Let’s take a stand for unborn children.

National Right To Life reported the so-called “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act”would permanently restore the recently abrogated 30-year old Hyde Amendment across all federal government functions, and “replace this leaky patchwork [of loopholes for many tax-funded abortions] with a permanent, government-wide prohibition on federal funding of abortion and federal subsidies for health plans that cover abortion [except in the cases of rape or incest].”

Since we must never support abortion, even in the case of rape and incest, (to quote a friend, never kill a child simply because her father is a criminal), we must continue to petition Congress to FIX and then PASS this legislation.  First, we must demand Congress FIX the bill by removing any loopholes for all abortions period, and second we must PASS this ban on federal funding of abortion with our tax-dollars everywhere permanently.

Why do your tax dollars pay for abortion?  Because liberals confuse their so-called “right to kill their children” with an entitlement that Christians must pay the executioner’s bill. Can you imagine if we funded marijuana with tax subsidies too?  (Oh, wait, they do in Seattle.)   I’m sorry, but your “right” to sin against God and neighbor A) is not a right, and B) should never be funded by government theft from us unwilling complicitors.  If we fail to act, we are forced to aid and abet their murderous crime.

Well over 90% of abortions kill children merely due to “incovenience” of a pregnancy to the mother and father.  As President Obama sadly admitted, if his own daughters someday welcome sex out of wedlock, “if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby,” so Obama would support tax-funded abortions, even of his own grandchildren.

The bottom line:  We may have only days to petition the Senate before their critical vote.   Please call 202-224-3121 and demand all 100 Senators stop funding abortions by fixing and passing H.R. 3.  Don’t have time to make 100 phone calls?  We save you much time if you sign our petition…

The Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner (R-OH) did not stand firm to defund Planned Parenthood in February, but he did stand firm on at least one pro-life amendment to defund abortion in DC.  Along with a $38.5 Billion cut in spending, Boehner held firm to demand part of that cut must include defunding abortion services for women in Washington D.C.  According to the Washington Post and CBS News, “The measure would also prohibit Washington, D.C. from spending its own money to provide abortions for low-income women.”

Your faxes to Congress made a small difference!  But that small victory, which restored the law removing D.C. abortion funds back to its pre-2009 policy, unfortunately did not defund Planned Parenthood, the nation’s #1 abortion provider, who will continue to receive $360 million per year to kill 363,000 innocent children as they did  in 2008.  Politifact, a fact-checking organization, confirmed the numbers in a Washington Times report:  “Planned Parenthood’s annual reports show more than $2 billion in government income between 2003 and 2008. The GAO report could account for the expenditure of only $657 million of that amount, relying on information provided by Planned Parenthood in its own Single Audit Act reports. That leaves a huge question mark over the remaining $1.3 billion.”  Missing money, fraudulent reporting, billions spent on abortions?

We know Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide mammograms as they claim.  We know they helped kill 324,008 innocent children last year, while helping only 2,405 children find homes by adoption, a whopping 96% of their services are abortion-related (see chart below).  But make no mistake, Speaker Boehner is under tremendous pressure from Democrats and is already being blamed by the liberal media, when Harry Reid (D-NV) and his Democrats threatened to shut down the government, unless we pay for abortions.

Let’s encourage Speaker Boehner to take a stand on H.R. 3, by sending another round of faxes to all 535 Congressmen and Senators…

HARRY REID:  PAY FOR ABORTIONS OR I’LL SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

The Hill newspaper reports Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) had effectively issued an ultimatum with a threat to shut down the federal government unless House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) agrees to continue long-term funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s #1 abortion provider, with your tax dollars.

“A Republican proposal seeking to ban taxpayer dollars for Planned Parenthood will not be part of any agreement to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year,” declared Harry Reid, taking a stand for tax-funded child-killing.  “Not only no, but hell no,” said Reid.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, criticized Reid’s demands: “Senator Reid is wrong. Planned Parenthood is an abortion-centered organization and America’s largest. It performs more than 300,000 abortions a year, which constitutes at least 37 percent of its revenue, by conservative estimates…. Planned Parenthood must be defunded and it must be defunded now.”

The House continues to debate three important abortion bills, that would strip federal tax-payer funding of most abortions.  The three new bills are labeled H.R. 3 “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” [NTFAA], the H.R. 358 “Protect Life Act” and the H.R. 217 “Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.”  Although it’s great to see pro-life Congressmen trying to stop abortion funding, but there’s only one problem.  These bills still allow tax-payer funding of  abortions in the rare cases of rape or incest.  Why should we be forced by the IRS to pay a murderous abortion “doctor” to kill an innocent child, just because the baby’s father was a criminal? We should not.  The baby deserves to live, even if conceived by rape or incest.  Punish the criminal, don’t kill the innocent victim.

Christian Coalition writes these 3 new bills would:
-Permanently ban taxpayer funding of abortion across all federal programs.
-End use of federal facilities, such as military hospitals.
-Ban publicly subsidized coverage of abortion in the new “ObamaCare” health system.
-Prevent any abortion funding via ObamaCare.
-End federal funding for Planned Parenthood (and other abortion providers).
-Provide conscience protections for health care workers who refuse to perform abortions.

Their analysis is mostly correct.  Subsidized abortions would cease, except it would still be funded in the rare cases of rape and incest, which we must also oppose, by calling 202-224-3121 for your Congressman and both Senators today.  But until the U.S. Supreme Court reverses Roe v. Wade, liberals will argue abortion is a “legal right.”  Yet even if the government could try to over-rule God to make child-murder a legal right, must it also be a tax-payer funded entitlement?  Of course not.  Liberals often confuse legal rights with funded entitlements.   As pro-death Senator Barbara Boxer confused this week, the new bill H.R. to defund most abortion subsidies “punishes women and businesses with a tax hike if they wish to keep or buy insurance that covers a full range of reproductive health care.”  No Senator, it merely requires they pay for abortions with their own private money, not with mine.  By refusing them our tax-dollar subsidies, and making them pay their own money to kill their own children, she calls it a tax hike?  Give me a break.  We’re not stupid. Let’s take a stand.

Or maybe we are stupid.  For 2 years the Church has been largely silent while the Obama-Boxer-Pelosi coalition raised government spending for Planned Parenthood, just like the Bush-led government did for 8 years before.  Now Speaker Boehner’s NTFAA bill attempts to change direction, by making the 1976 Hyde Amendment permanent and banning most federal funding for abortion-providers like Planned Parenthood.  Without this ban, you can see in the chart (IMAGE ABOVE HEADLINE) how “coincidentally” abortions  increase when their funding increases, and how YOU PAID FOR 363,000 abortions last year by funding Planned Parenthood (of which over 90% were elective, not rape or incest abortions).  Can anybody guess what would happen if their tax-dollars were denied?  No doubt the number of abortions would go decrease, and tens of thousands of babies (but not all babies) would be saved.

And herein lies the dilemma faced by the pro-life community.  Should we pass bills that save a few, perhaps even most babies while “legalizing” killing the children of rape or incest?   Some say yes, some say no.  I say we follow a sequence:  1) petition Congress to first remove the murderous “exceptions” in these so-called pro-life bills, then 2) ban all federal funding of abortion, then 3) pass personhood amendments to overturn Roe v. Wade, then 4) replace all liberal Supreme Court justices with pro-personhood justices, then 5) pass laws outlawing all murderous abortions period, unless they are needed to save the life of the mother.  Morally, if every living human is equal, then sparing the life of the mother is the only permissible case where such “choice” would be allowed by God.

DEFEND MARRIAGE = ONE MAN + ONE WOMAN. SIGN PETITION!

HOT PETITION!  Defend DOMA & Constitutional Amendment defining Marriage between One Man, One Woman. Select, sign, WE WILL FAX your petition to 535 Congressmen /   Senators!  We’ve delivered 75,000 fax petitions. Can you help reach 100,000?

Lawsuit!  Military sued for Homosexual “Marriage.”  Senate hearings Thursday.

Eight homosexual couples are suing the U.S. Military to accept their illegal “marriages,” and demanding extra homosexual bonus pay with medical benefits.  A federal judge in Massachusetts will be asked to overturn the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines federal marriage as only lawful between one man and one woman.

The pro-homosexual Huffington Post reports that according to lawyers at the [Sod omites]   Legal Defense Network, “the plaintiffs are challenging the constitutionality of DOMA as well as provisions in Titles 10, 32 and 38 of the U.S. Code that prevent service members in same-sex marriages from receiving the same benefits as heterosexual couples…

“At an event announcing the lawsuit at the National Press Club, the plaintiffs and their family members cast the challenge in terms of fairness. ‘The case we are bringing is about one thing, plain and simple: It’s about justice for gay and lesbian service members and their families and our armed forces,’ said Aubrey Sarvis, an Army veteran and the executive director of SLDN. He stressed that all eight plaintiffs were ‘legally married’ in various states.”

In reality, justice is the last thing the homosexuals want.  Justice would enforce the law, when actually their petition is for the judge to promote injustice, and overturn the law, forcing higher taxes upon heterosexual families to pay homosexuals extra bonus pay to reward them for their immorality.  If they succeed, it will create a monetary incentive for others to engage in immorality, instantly forcing homosexual marriage upon all 50 states with military bases.

But in good news, the pro-family House of Representatives has already passed a bill (now facing defeat in the liberal Senate and veto by President Obama), to specifically apply the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act to all military bases and chapels in all 50 states.

Huffington Post reports the U.S. Senate is trying to repeal DOMA legislatively.  “In Congress, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin debate over DOMA repeal on Nov. 3.  The proposed [Dis]Respect for Marriage Act, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and co-sponsored by 30 others, seeks to overturn federal restrictions on recognizing same-sex marriages.”

How will your Senators weigh in this Thursday?  Call them both at 202-225-3121. Then let’s petition all 100 Senators instantly by fax…

Please select here to SIGN URGENT PETITION to PASS THE FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT defining marriage between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN.  Vote against S.598 that would repeal DOMA, and protect DOMA in court, and we will auto-fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!)

Perry signs Pledge to Defend Marriage, joining Bachmann, Santorum, Romney

Presidential Candidate Rick Perry (R-TX) joined Michelle Bachman (R-MN), Rick Santorum (R-PA), and Mitt Romney (R-MA) when he signed a pledge to defend traditional marriage between one man and one woman, created by the conservative National Organization for Marriage (NOM).

In signing the pledge candidates promise to:
–Support and send to the states a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman;
–Defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court;
–Appoint judges and an attorney general who will respect the original meaning of the Constitution;
–Appoint a presidential commission to investigate harassment of traditional marriage supporters;
–Support legislation that would return to the people of D.C. their right to vote for marriage.

Signing the NOM pledge is Perry’s second step toward recovering from his gaffe earlier this month, when he told a crowd in Aspen, Colorado, that the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution may allow New York to legalize homosexual “marriage.”

“Our friends in New York six weeks ago passed a statute that said marriage can be between two people of the same sex. And you know what? That’s New York, and that’s their business, and that’s fine with me,” said Perry. “That is their call. If you believe in the 10th Amendment, stay out of their business.”

Perry later apologized and told Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council:  “I probably needed to add a few words after that ‘it’s fine with me,’ and that it’s fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue. Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn’t changed.”

–Now Perry’s signature on the NOM pledge puts him more firmly in the traditional marriage policy camp.  But has your Congressman or Senator pledged to defend marriage yet?  Please call them today at 202-225-3121 and ask.  Don’t have time to make 535 phone calls?  Sign our petition and we’ll instantly fax it to all 535 Congressmen and Senators…

Obama:  Don’t Deport Illegal Aliens if they’re Homose xual

The Obama Administration has found another way to violate the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines federal marriage between one man and one woman. ColorLines  News reports:

“The Department of Homeland Security announced last week that…for the purposes of deportation policy, it will recognize same-sex couples and families as real families.”

“Queer families facing deportation may win the right to stay in the country under DHS criteria of who constitutes a high priority for removal….Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton…advised ICE agents and attorneys to consider those who met any of the following characteristics were a low priority for deportation: …those with strong family ties in the U.S.

“Under the Defense of Marriage Act, federal agencies are forbidden from recognizing the partnerships of same-sex couples, and that’s extended to the world of federal immigration policy. According to the American Immigration Council there are currently 36,000 bi-national same-sex couples in the country, and DOMA has provided the legal justification for the routine denial of same sex couple’s applications for permanent residence, and other immigration benefits like deportation relief….” until now, when they can stay illegally.

Homosexuals now have an advantage over heterosexuals, to stay in America illegally.   Christian married couples often cannot get green-cards for their heterosexual spouse, but homosexuals can, thanks to President Obama’s new loophole.   The Bay Area Reporter explained how violating DOMA has already allowed homosexuals to avoid deportation:

“The federal government has dropped deportation proceedings against a binational, same-sex married couple who live in California.

“Alex Benshimol, 47, who’s from Venezuela, and Doug Gentry, 53, a U.S. citizen, have been fighting to stay together. Benshimol came to the U.S. in the late 1990s and overstayed his visa when it expired in 2009. The men have been together for six years and were legally ‘married’ in Connecticut in July 2010.

“On July 13 at a hearing in San Francisco, Lavi Soloway, the couple’s attorney, requested that the government agree to ‘administrative closure’ of the case.

“Federal immigration Judge Marilyn Teeter ruled that day that Benshimol be permitted to remain in the country despite the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits U.S. recognition of same-sex marriages.”

If there is a new and clever way to promote sod omy in the United States, President Obama will find it.  Let’s take a stand and wake up the U.S. Senate to defend traditional marriage.

NY Times:  Tax Heterosexual Families more than Homose xual “Marrieds”

The New York Times has prepared a tax-guide showing homosexual “married” couples how to pay less taxes than heterosexuals, avoiding the marriage penalty that taxes traditional families more.  In an article entitled “Tax Changes for Gay Married New Yorkers,” a NY Times reporter interviews a pro-homosexual accountant:

Homosexual ‘married’ “couples who earn more than $75,000 each and plan on filing a joint return may want to continue to keep their ‘single’ withholding so that they don’t end up owing the state money in April because of the marriage penalty,” said Tina Salandra, a New York accountant with expertise in same-sex couples’ issues. “The penalty causes married couples to owe more money than if they filed their returns separately.”

Avoiding the marriage penalty is easier if you’re homosexually “married,” she admits:   “There is a loophole that may allow couples to avoid being pushed into the higher bracket, however. Same-sex spouses can file their state tax returns using ‘married filing separately’status, which uses the same tax rates as if they were single,” Ms. Salandra said.

“Married heterosexuals cannot usually file as separate unless they also file this way on their federal tax return,” she said, noting that federal tax brackets for married filing separately status is the costliest way to file. “Consequently, until the federal government recognizes same-sex marriage, there may be a tax advantage in New York State for married same-sex taxpayers.”

The same advantage exists for same-sex couples in New Jersey and Connecticut, she added.

[Chaps comment:  Are you kidding me?  This is yet another reason we need a U.S. Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as sacred only between one man and one woman.  Not only must we whip New York legislators back into line with traditional voters, we must stop this unfair tax redistribution that punishes traditional families, only to award “homosexual bonus pay” to those who practice sod omy.]

Please join me by signing (again) our petition to Congress to vote and pass the Federal Marriage Amendment.  Let’s take action now to stop their nonsense forever…

NEW YORK SUES U.S.A. TO FORCE GAY “MARRIAGE” IN ALL 50 STATES

The attorney general of New York State has sued the rest the USA in federal court, to overturn the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, claiming homosexuals have a right to sod omy under the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.  Laws in 44 other states that define marriage between one man and one woman could be overturned by one federal court in Manhattan.

Reuters reports:  “In court papers filed on Tuesday in U.S. federal court in Manhattan, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, violates same-sex couples’ right to equal protection under the U.S. Constitution… Schneiderman wrote: ‘By discriminating among married couples based on sexual orientation and sex, DOMA deprives New York of the ability to extend true equality to all marriages valid in the State.'”

In other words, New York wants the federal law overturned in all 50 states, forcing Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and every state to embrace homosexual “marriage” just so that New York lesbians and gays can receive federal “homosexual bonus pay” by taxing heterosexuals more.

Reuters explained how homosexual bonus pay scheme would work:  “Schneiderman made his arguments in support of a case brought by Edie Windsor, a woman who sued the United States last year after an inheritance from her former partner was taxed. Windsor, who was married in Canada in 2007, said she had to pay $350,000 in inheritance tax in 2009 after the federal government refused to recognize her marriage.”  [If her lesbian marriage were honored, heterosexuals would be taxed the $350,000 to pay Windsor’s bill.]

Windsor argued she “was forced to pay in violation of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the law.”  But our founding fathers punished sod omy as a crime, and never dreamed the Constitution protected homosexual sin.  Furthermore homosexuals already have the equal right to marry, so long as they repent and marry heterosexually as law defines traditional marriage.  This proves they now seek special rights, not equal rights.

Bottom line:  We need a Constitutional Marriage Amendment to whip New York back into line.  Let’s defend the 1996 DOMA law, and support Michele Bachmann’s call for a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage nationwide, as one man + one woman.

DEMOCRATS IN U.S. SENATE INTRODUCE BILL TO REPEAL 1996 DOMA LAW

While the national media covers only the debt crisis, Democrats in the Senate are attacking traditional marriage between one man and one woman, by attempting to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).  Not satisfied with homosexualizing the military, or forcing gay “marriage” in states like New York, radical homosexuals testified on Capitol Hill todaydemanding homosexual “bonus pay” with more than 1,100 federal benefits that reward their acts of sod omy in all 50 states, taxing heterosexuals more to pay homosexuals to engage in immorality.

On Tuesday Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced, and President Obama quickly  endorsed a new bill S.598 to promote homosexual marriage, mislabeled the “Respect for Marriage Act” (RFMA) to end federal law that defines traditional marriage between one man and one woman.  White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Tuesday “President Obama is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act,” which disrespects traditional marriage by enforcing homosexual marriage upon all 50 states. His views are no longer “evolving” rather Obama is now fully out of the closet promoting gay marriage nationwide.

At last week’s hearings 5 pro-homosexual witnesses and just 3 conservatives argued for and against repealing DOMA, and passing RFMA, including 2 high-profile gay activists, Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, and Evan Wolfson, founder and executive director of Freedom to Marry. Joining them will be Susan Murray, an activist attorney from Vermont, and complainers Ron Wallen of California and Andrew Sorbo of Connecticut, both of whom were denied homosexual bonus pay, and bonus Social Security checks (funded by heterosexual tax-payers) when their homosexual “marriage” partners died.

Testifying in favor of keeping DOMA intact were pro-marriage heroes Ed Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Austin Nimocks, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, and Tom Minnery, senior vice president of government and public policy for Focus on the Family.

44 States have passed laws like DOMA defining marriage between one man and one woman, but if RFMA is passed and the federal DOMA law repealed, all 44 state laws could be in danger of being overturned in court.  Just imagine Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Mississippi, etc. being forced to issue homosexual “marriage” licenses, or forced to recognize and pay your tax benefits to homosexuals “married” in New York.

Let’s take a stand, by petitioning all 100 Senators to defend DOMA, and reject RFMA.

Please select here to SIGN URGENT PETITION to PASS THE FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT defining marriage between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN.  Vote against S.598 that would repeal DOMA, and protect DOMA in court, and we will auto-fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!)

Friends, our nation will soon endorse homosexual “marriage” in all 50 states, if your Senator doesn’t take a stand to defend DOMA, since Obama won’t.  Let’s take a stand today, and demand Senators defend the 1996 DOMA law in court.
