Liberals push Supreme Court Justice Roberts to “Protect Obamacare”

Conservative pundit George Will worries the Supreme Court will NOT overturn Obamacare, because liberals are pressuring Justices Roberts and Kennedy to cave.

Will writes liberals “are waging an embarrassingly obvious campaign, hoping [Roberts] will buckle beneath the pressure of their disapproval and declare Obamacare constitutional…”

“Justice Anthony Kennedy is generally considered today’s swing vote, but his acerbic first question to the administration’s lawyer during the second day of oral argument changed assumptions: ‘Can you create commerce in order to regulate it?’

“Concluding that Kennedy might be disposed to overturn the mandate, some Obamacare defenders decided that Roberts’ vote will be decisive. They hope to secure it by causing Roberts to worry about his reputation and that of his institution.

“Recently, for example, Vermont’s Pat Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, delivered a Senate speech defending the constitutionality of what he calls the “personal responsibility requirement.” (This is his Orwellian appellation for the mandate, whereby government coercion nullifies personal choice regarding insurance.)

“After 37 years in the Senate, Leahy probably no longer knows when he sounds insufferably patronizing, as he did when he said that during oral argument he thought Roberts ‘seemed well aware of the significance of [the Obamacare] decision.’ And ‘I thought I saw a chief justice who understands the importance of this case to all Americans.’ And Roberts ‘seemed to understand’ the deference owed to Congress.

“Leahy intimated that overturning Obamacare would be as momentous, as divisive of the nation and as damaging to the court as was Bush v. Gore, which he asserts ‘shook the confidence of the American people in the Supreme Court.'”

[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Leahy berates Roberts on the Senate floor? Read the full commentary by George Will here, but I have a larger question:

If liberal Senators like Leahy can pressure Justice Roberts to PROTECT Obamacare, why can’t conservative Congressmen demand Justice Kagan RECUSE her Obamacare seat, since she helped write, lobby, and pass Obamacare before now judging it? Let’s keep the heat on Congress to demand Kagan recuse Obamacare, or face impeachment.]

SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, and we will instantly fax all 535 Congressmen and Senators demanding impeachment hearings if Justice Elena Kagan does not recuse herself from the Obamacare case NFIB v. Sebelius. (Saving you much time and postage!)

Newsweek: Impeach Scalia, Roberts, Alito if they veto Kagan’s Obamacare

The liberals are reading my playbook. For six months we’ve been petitioning and faxing Congress to impeach Justice Elena Kagan if she won’t recuse herself from ruling in FAVOR of Obamacare, which she helped write, lobby for, and pass before she became a judge. Now a liberal writer at Newsweek Magazine has copied our ploy, demanding all 5 conservative Supreme Court Justices face impeachment if they dare vote AGAINST Obamacare.

David R. Dow, a senior writer at Newsweek and The Daily Beast (somewhat demonic name for a blog?) has just demanded Congress IMPEACH 5 conservative Justices Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito if they dare uphold the U.S. Constitution. Why? For the simple ‘crime’ of doing their duty. Excerpts from Dow’s (laughable) article follow:

Impeach the Supreme Court Justices If They Overturn Health-Care Law. (by David R. Dow.)

“The Roberts Court’s rulings appear to be a concerted effort to send us back to the Gilded Age. If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them,” Dow writes. “The problem with the current court is not merely that there is a good chance it will strike down a clearly ‘constitutional’ law [Obamacare]. The problem is that this decision would be the latest salvo in what seems to be a sustained effort on the part of the Roberts Court to return the country to the Gilded Age…”

“Impeachment is an option for justices who undermine constitutional values. There are other options, as well. We might amend the Constitution to establish judicial term limits. Or we might increase the number of justices to dilute the influence of its current members (though FDR could tell you how that turned out). In the end, however, it is the duty of the people to protect the Constitution from the court. Social progress cannot be held hostage by five unelected men.” So says David R. Dow, liberal Newsweek reporter.

A Newsweek senior editor, Jesse Wigman, tweeted the Dow story, saying: “Impeach the Court! David R. Dow’s solution if health-care law is overturned: http://t.co/N0EzWwa6”

[Chaps’ comment:] There’s only one problem with Newsweek’s liberal logic. The 5 conservative justices have not violated a law, while Elena Kagan clearly has.

Four senators explain: “Federal law requires recusal from a case if a judicial officer of the United States ‘has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy.’ 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(3). In addition, a federal judge must disqualify herself from participating in a matter if her ‘impartiality might reasonably be questioned.'”

Again, let us demand Justice Kagan recuse herself or face impeachment for violating federal law. Let’s continue to pound Congress with our petitions.

Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy hate Kagan’s Obamacare. Good day at SCOTUS.

I’ve read much of February’s transcript of the Supreme Court debate against Obamacare, and I have great news to report. I believe we have a very good chance to win, and strike down President Obama’s tyranny. We will win a 5-4 vote to be revealed in June.

Why 5-4? Virtually all analysts agree the four liberal justices, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, will rule to defend Obamacare. But not all analysts agree the 5 conservative Justices will stand together. Thomas and Alito are solid, but I’ve read recent criticism about Roberts, Scalia, and Kennedy that say “they’re waffling.” I disagree.

You can read the full transcript for yourself, here. (Then select 11-398-Tuesday. Department of Health and Human Servs. v. Florida.) But here’s my summary:

These blistering questions from Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy make me believe we’ll win:

ROBERTS: “It’s the same point. You say health insurance is not purchased for its own sake, like a car or broccoli; it is a means of financing health care consumption and covering universal risks. Well, a car or broccoli aren’t purchased for their own sake,
either.” [CHAPS COMMENT: Chief Justice Roberts is already arguing the government cannot force people to buy broccoli, therefore they cannot force people to buy health insurance. Roberts will rule against Obamacare.]

[OBAMA’S SOLICITOR GENERAL] VERRILLI: “No. The, the — we think that in a — when — the difference between those situations and this situation is that in those situations, Your Honor, Congress would be moving to create commerce. Here Congress is regulating existing commerce, economic activity that is already going on, people’s participation in the health care market, and is regulating to deal with existing effects of existing commerce.”

JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA: “Oh, no, it’s not. They all involved commerce. There was no doubt that was what regulated was commerce. And here you’re regulating somebody who isn’t covered. By the way, I don’t agree with you that the relevant market here is health care. You’re not regulating health care. You’re regulating insurance. It’s the insurance market that you’re addressing and you’re saying that some people who are not in it must be in it and that’s — that’s difference from regulating in any manner commerce that already exists out there.” [CHAPS COMMENT: Anytime Scalia says ‘Oh, no, it’s not…I don’t agree with you,’ you’ve lost his vote. Scalia will vote against Obamacare.

That leaves only Kennedy as the swing vote. He’s hard to read. But here’s the punchline:

JUSTICE KENNEDY: “Could you help — help me with this. Assume for the moment — you may disagree. Assume for the moment that this is unprecedented, this is a step beyond what our cases have allowed, the affirmative duty to act to go into commerce. If that is
so, do you not have a heavy burden of justification? I understand that we must presume laws are constitutional, but, even so, when you are changing the relation of the individual to the government in this, what we can stipulate is, I think, a unique way, do you
not have a heavy burden of justification to show authorization under the Constitution?” [CHAPS COMMENT: Justice Kennedy is saying Obamacare has a high burden of proof that it’s authorized under the Constitution. That means Verrelli won’t meet it. Kennedy will rule against Obamacare. WE WILL WIN. 5-4 DEFEAT OVER OBAMACARE.]

Sadly, Justice Kagan proved her judicial activism by endorsing Obamacare outright:

JUSTICE KAGAN: “Well, Mr. Clement, now it seems as though you’re just talking about a matter of timing, that Congress can regulate the transaction. And the question is when does it make best sense to regulate that transaction? And Congress surely has it within its authority to decide, rather than at the point of sale, given an insurance-based mechanism, it makes sense to regulate it earlier. It’s just a matter of timing.”

[CHAPS COMMENT: Is anyone surprised? Kagan helped write, lobby, and pass Obamacare, and now she openly declares “Congress can regulate the transaction…it makes sense to regulate it earlier. It’s just a matter of timing.” Who will stand with me and demand Congress begin Kagan’s impeachment proceedings?]

Four Senators demand Kagan recuse Obamacare. We demand impeachment.

After YOU helped fax thousands of petitions, four top-ranking Republican Senators agreed with us and demanded Justice Kagan recuse herself from the Obamacare case. In a letter signed by Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY), Whip John Kyl (R-AZ), Ranking Judiciary Grassley (R-IA), and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), all four rebuked President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder, who has obstructed justice and blocked Congressional investigation of Kagan’s bias in the Obamacare case.

“Federal law requires recusal from a case if a judicial officer of the United States ‘has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceeding or expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case or controversy.’ 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(3). In addition, a federal judge must disqualify herself from participating in a matter if her ‘impartiality might reasonably be questioned.’ Id. at § 455(a). It appears that former Solicitor General Kagan’s participation in the Obama Administration’s defense of the PPACA may satisfy both requirements for recusal,” the letter said. You can read the Senators’ full letter here.

Sadly A.G. Holder continues to stonewall Congressional investigations. “Unfortunately, your Department has rejected all Congressional oversight requests for information about her role in the Obama Administration’s defense of this law [Obamacare].” While Holder blocks any justice to help Obama, Kagan scored the touchdown by defending Obamacare, and now she acts as the “instant replay referee” to find no flags on her own play.

Her “impartiality” is obviously flawed, as the Senators point to a March 2009 email Kagan sent to DOJ Legal Adviser Larry Tribe concerning Obamacare: Entitled, “Fingers and toes crossed today!” Kagan emails, “I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing.” [How impartial can she be when ruling on this law?]

Political analyist Dick Morris agrees: “As Solicitor-General, Kagan was the point person for defending the constitutionality of federal law before the Supreme Court. She was, in effect, the lawyer supporting the Health Care law. How can she now sit in judgment on it?” Morris has also delivered 19,000+ petitions to Congress, along with our 63,000+.

Can you help us reach 100,000 fax petitions to Congress? Please sign our fax petition.

85 groups + 96,000 petitions demand Kagan recuse Obamacare.

I have amazing news to report. We can stop Obamacare and many tax-funded abortions!

Now leaders of 85 groups represent millions of Americans (including me, Chaps, representing YOU) signed a joint letter to House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX), as drafted by our dear friend Philip Jauregui, President of the Judicial Action Group, including a veritable “Who’s Who” of Christian and conservative activists, including Family Research Council, Christian Coalition, Eagle Forum, Concerned Women for America, and many tea party groups. You can read our full letter and list of 85 groups here.

The new letter explains we have a “basis to question the impartiality of Justice Kagan if she were permitted to prepare the defense of a case as an advocate and then switch roles and judge the defense of that same case as a justice.” [Chaps’ comment: Imagine going to court, and suddenly the defense lawyer takes over as judge? How unfair and biased! ]

“Attorney General Holder has failed to comply with your repeated requests [to subpoena Kagan’s records] and has characterized your reasonable requests to determine the facts in this matter as ‘unseemly.’ We disagree, and believe that it would be ‘unseemly’ for the system of ‘checks and balances’ to fail to operate in this landmark matter. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you immediately hold hearings to investigate the full extent to which Justice Elena Kagan was involved in preparing the legal defense of the PPACA during her former service as Solicitor General.” [Chaps wants hearings, impeachment!]

Friends, we fought against the pro-abortion funding provisions of Obamacare by faxing over a million petitions to Congress. We fought against Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court with nearly a quarter million petitions. We helped persuade 26 state attorneys general to join the lawsuit NFIB v. Sebelius to defeat Obamacare in court.

We’re now joining the final battle at the Supreme Court of the United States, to defeat Obamacare permanently, but one biased Justice Elena Kagan could decide our fate.

I need 10 or 20 folks to please donate $500 or $1,000 extra this week, just to break even. (If anybody thinks I’m getting rich here, they’re mistaken.) Help us help America!

Let’s take one final stand against Obamacare. Take action today. . .

Friends, our Supreme Court will soon decide if Obamacare and it’s pro-abortion tax-funding is Constitutional. Let’s take a stand today, and demand Justice Kagan recuse herself, or face impeachment hearings.
God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Battle Brewing Over Conscience Protections for Military Chaplains

May 25, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

President Obama has expressed his opposition to a Republican-authored amendment in the House defense authorization bill that would protect the conscience rights of chaplains who do not want to perform “marriage” ceremonies for homosexual military personnel. Written in part by U.S Representative Todd Akin (R-Mo.), Section 536 of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act stipulates that no member of the armed forces may “direct, order, or require a chaplain to perform any duty, rite, ritual, ceremony, service, or function that is contrary to the conscience, moral principles, or religious beliefs of the chaplain, or contrary to the moral principles and religious beliefs of the endorsing faith group of the chaplain.” In addition, Section 537 asserts that a “military installation or other property owned or rented by, or otherwise under the jurisdiction or control of, the Department of Defense may not be used to officiate, solemnize, or perform a marriage or marriage-like ceremony involving anything other than the union of one man with one woman.”

Obama, who was responsible for last year’s dismantling of the 200-plus-year ban on homosexuals serving in the U.S. military, quickly came out against both provisions, with his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) releasing a statement declaring, in part, that the President “strongly objects” to both sections because they “adopt unnecessary and ill-advised policies that would inhibit the ability of same-sex couples to marry or enter a recognized relationship under State law.”

The OMB protested that Section 536 “would prohibit all personnel-related actions based on certain religious and moral beliefs, which, in its overbroad terms, is potentially harmful to good order and discipline.” As for Section 537, the OMB argued that it would “obligate DOD to deny Service members, retirees, and their family members access to facilities for religious ceremonies on the basis of sexual orientation, a troublesome and potentially unconstitutional limitation on religious liberty.”

Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, targeted the provisions as nothing less than an attack on homosexual soldiers. “For years, many members of our Armed Services had to hide who they were to fight for the country they love,” Smith declared, “and I am strongly opposed to efforts that seek to turn back the clock on the progress we have made in the name of equality.”

Congressman Akin, however, explained that he had offered Section 536 in response to Obama’s “appalling” efforts to “blatantly use the military for political cover” on the issue of homosexuality. “This liberal agenda has infiltrated our military, where service members and chaplains are facing recrimination for their sincerely held moral and religious beliefs,” said Akin. “Moral or religious concerns about same-sex marriage or the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell have become potentially career-ending. Obama’s use of the military to justify his new support for same-sex marriage will only add fuel to this fire, potentially forcing service members and chaplains to violate their own conscience or face recriminations.”

Asked by a reporter about Akin’s amendment guaranteeing conscience protections for chaplains, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called it a “fraud,” insisting that chaplains were not in danger of being forced to do anything they morally opposed. “I’ve never seen any suggestion that we’re ordering chaplains to perform same-sex [ceremonies],” she said. “I do not support that provision in the bill, that part of the bill,” she said. “I agree with the Administration. And there’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith.” (To watch video of Pelosi, click here.)

Pressed as to why she would not support a provision that codifies the protections she said were already in place, Pelosi testily responded: “Because it’s a fraud. It’s a — welcome to the world of manufactured crises. Here’s one.”

A number of military chaplains, however, challenged Pelosi’s argument. Former Navy Chaplain James Klingenschmitt, who lobbied members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on the amendment, told the Christian Post, “[T]here are dozens of active duty chaplains who have been pressured to not speak against homosexuality. I know of one Army and one Navy chaplain who have already resigned. Another active duty chaplain has been silenced, threatened, and punished against speaking against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ What they are saying is simply false.”

Ron Crews of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, which represents the military’s 2,500 evangelical Christian chaplains, agreed, telling CNSNews.com that the Obama administration “has created an environment in the Department of Defense that if you are in favor of same-sex relationships, you may speak. If you are not in favor, you cannot speak.” He said his group has already seen examples of a chaplain being pulled from an assignment and threatened with early retirement because he criticized the dismantling of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Added Crews: “We have another chaplain who asked, ‘Can I speak about this issue?’ And the commander told him, ‘If you can’t get in line [with the military policy in support of homosexuality], resign your commission.’ So we have those kind of real-life cases that the American public doesn’t realize is going on.”

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told CNSNews: “It’s quite shocking that the administration would say this [amendment] would undermine good order and discipline, when in fact, it is the President’s policy that is leading to the undermining of good order and discipline. This measure is a response to the concerns raised by chaplains already as this new experimentation on homosexuality has been thrust upon the military.”

While Congressman Akin did not claim in his forwarding of Section 536 that chaplains were being forced to violate their moral convictions by performing homosexual “marriage” ceremonies, he said that the amendment provides protections for chaplains in an uncertain political atmosphere. Steve Taylor, a spokesman for Akin, explained that “we don’t know what may or may not be ordered by the United States military regarding how these things are handled in the future. But this establishes that it is the sense of Congress that chaplains will not be ordered to do so. It’s a clarification — and a clarification that is being codified.” He added that “given the change in the landscape regarding how the DOD is handling this suggests that it is not superfluous for Congress to weigh in and say, this is our sense of it.”

According to Fox News, a Pentagon spokesman denied the suggestion that chaplains would ever be required to participate in any private ceremony that conflicted with their beliefs, and insisted that no chaplain has been disciplined for opposing same-sex marriage. “In general, as we have reinforced in training across the force, the DADT [Don’t Ask Don’t Tell] repeal is not about changing attitudes, but rather about reinforcing behavior that treats everyone with dignity and respect,” Pentagon spokesman George Wright said. He insisted that “the religious freedoms of Army chaplains are already well protected in Army policy and regulations.”

If that is the case, said Bob Knight of the conservative American Civil Rights Union, then Obama, Pelosi, and the Pentagon should not mind the addition of the Akin-authored amendment, which, he pointed out, simply adds “another layer of protection” for the chaplains’ religious freedoms. But if there is a threat, as many retired and active chaplains insist, then the amendment “is essential to preserving freedom of religion in our armed forces,” Knight said. “Given the Administration’s heavy hand against Catholic hospitals over the contraceptive, abortifacient, sterilization issue, why should anyone trust them not to go after the chaplains and do things against their conscience?”

Keeping an eye on senators re: chaplains' rights

May 24, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Gordon Klingenschmitt is a former Navy chaplain who now runs The Pray In Jesus Name Project. He is pleased that the House Armed Services Committee has approved two amendments to the Defense Authorization Bill — one by Missouri Republican Todd Akin, and the other by Mississippi Republican Steven Palazzo.

“[Those bills] would protect military chaplains’ rights to free speech against homosexual sin and also their free right to not facilitate gay weddings in military chapels, which are being forced on military chaplains,” he details. “They have to turn over the keys to their chapel in all 50 states now under this Pentagon policy.”

So now, Klingenschmitt has turned his attention to the Senate, where several Democrats have said they do not agree with President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex “marriage.”

“Six Democrats have all come out and said we disagree with President Obama on the issue of homosexual weddings,” he notes. “Well now, we want to see them put their money where their mouth is. Some of these senators are on the hot seat — Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Claire McKaskill of Missouri [and] John Tester of Montana.”

Klingenschmitt intends to report to constituents how these particular senators ultimately vote on the amendments supporting chaplains’ rights.

Church-funded Abortion Pills? 43 Catholic Universities Sue Obamacare's Mandate

Church-funded Abortion Pills? 43 Catholic Universities Sue Obamacare’s Mandate

When the Obama Administration openly punishes Christian and Catholic hospitals, universities, and employers who refuse to dispense abortion pills, they have crossed the line of separation. The government is now abolishing the church with state sword.

This argument will appear in 12 courts where 43 Catholic Universities and groups just sued President Obama for requiring Christians dispense abortion pills (not just contraception) to all their students and employees, under his horrible Obamacare law.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, said the step was necessary “to protect our religious liberties from unwarranted and unprecedented government intrusion.”

NPR reports: “43 Catholic educational, charitable and other entities filed a dozen lawsuits in federal court around the nation Monday [in every circuit court], charging that the Obama Administration’s rule requiring coverage of birth control in most health insurance plans violates their religious freedom.

“Among the plaintiffs in the suits are the University of Notre Dame and the Catholic University of America, as well as the Archdioceses of New York, Washington, Dallas, St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

“They join several other, mostly smaller entities that have sued over the requirements for no-cost coverage of regular birth control, sterilization and so-called morning after emergency contraceptives.

“Because one of the ways those drugs may work is by preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg into a woman’s uterus, Catholics believe they can cause a very early abortion, even though they are classified by the Food and Drug Administration as contraceptives.”

[Dr. Chaps’ comment: FINALLY the liberal media admits what I’ve been saying all along, that Obama is forcing the Church to fund abortion pills! Liberals have twisted this as if it’s only a debate about birth control, but POST-CONCEPTION ITS NOT CONTRACEPTION, IT’S PHARMACEUTICAL ABORTION OF A LIVING FETUS. How dare the government fund child-killing, and force the church to pay for it?]

Obama: “Supreme Court won’t overturn Obamacare” because it’s a “good law.”

President Obama claims he knows the Supreme Court will vote to PRESERVE Obamacare, in a surprising speech that labeled conservative Justices “Activists.”

“Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Obama said at a Rose Garden press conference Monday.

“And I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is: The biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama continued.

“Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this court will recognize that and not take that step.”

So if conservative judges uphold the Constitution, they’re now “judicial activists?” Ha!

If the Supreme Court FAILS to overturn Obamacare, I’ve listed the shocking statistical outcome below. But whether they do or don’t, fully or partly, CONGRESS MUST STILL ACT to repeal Obamacare entirely. Let’s petition Congress to do just that.

Obamacare forces YOU to pay $1 per month for abortions.

This week President Obama’s Department of Health and Human “Services” issued brand-new regulations requiring everybody in America to pay $1 per month for abortion services, if they join the Obamacare program as mandated by federal law.

My friend and attorney Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel explains: “The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced this week that a minimum of one dollar a month from every ObamaCare participant will help pay for someone’s abortion. The ‘abortion surcharge’ is cleverly hidden in the insurance premium, but not allowed to be listed as a line item. If you find that thought upsetting, as I do, then please join me in committing to pray that ObamaCare will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court!…

“It’s now official. Contained in just-released Health and Human Services guidelines is yet another mandate that requires an ‘abortion premium’ for the establishment of state health care exchanges. According to our friends at LifeNews…

” ‘To comply with the accounting requirement, plans will collect a $1 abortion surcharge from each premium payer… The enrollee will make two payments, $1 per month for abortion and another payment for the rest of the services covered.

‘As described in the rule, the surcharge can only be disclosed to the enrollee at the time of enrollment. Furthermore, insurance plans may only advertise the total cost of the premiums without disclosing that enrollees will be charged a $1 per month fee to directly subsidize abortions.’…

“Yesterday the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its most recent projections revealing that ObamaCare’s costs will be nearly double what the President promised and Congress approved – from $900 Billion to $1.76 Trillion. But independent analysts say the true cost will, in all likelihood, far exceed $2 Trillion over that ten-year span.”

[Chaps’ comment: Obama lied. He promised ‘no abortions’ funded by Obamacare, but now his own DHHS is forcing YOU to pay $1 per month extra for abortions. And his bloated budget costs TWICE what he projected. We must demand Congress repeal Obamacare, now.]

Obama stands firm: “Catholic Hospitals must issue Abortion Pills.” Take Action!

In a private retreat with Senate Democrats, President Obama strengthened his resolve Wednesday, and personally threatened to fully enforce the Obamacare law that will force Catholic and Christian hospitals to issue abortion pills and post-conception abortifacient devices like RU-486, the IUD, and Plan-B, forcing Christians to kill or help kill innocent children in the womb.

ABC News reports: “President Obama ‘reinforced’ his stance on the controversial contraception mandate while speaking at the Democrats’ annual retreat at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. today, Senate Democrats said.

“The retreat was closed to media.

“Following President Obama’s speech at the retreat, a small group of Senate Democrats, mostly women, left the retreat early in order to hold a news conference on Capitol Hill to counter the Republicans’ news conference today at which they called for the mandate to be overturned.

“Democrats said they will ‘fight strongly’ to keep the [Obamacare] mandate [forcing Christians to issue abortion pills] in place.

“It is our clear understanding from the administration that the president believes as we do, and the vast majority of the American women should have access to [abortion pills],” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said, pointing out that 15 percent of women use [abortion pills] for medical issues. “[Abortion Pills] it’s medicine, and women deserve their medicine” [to be dispensed by Christians who oppose abortion], said Boxer.

House Speaker John Boehner vowed to repeal the parts of Obamacare that mandate Christian hospitals dispense abortion pills. [I say we repeal ALL of Obamacare.]

“It’s time to tell Republicans ‘mind your own business,’” said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. “Ideology should never be used to block women from getting the [abortion pills] they need [to kill their unborn children] to lead healthier lives [dispensed by Christians who oppose abortion, who will be punished if they refuse to dispense abortion pills].”

FOLKS, LET’S DEMAND CONGRESS REPEAL ALL OF OBAMACARE. Please help.

Last January a Florida Federal judge ruled the new health care law known as Obamacare is unconstitutional, and must be thrown out. In his ruling, Judge Roger Vinson said that the law’s requirement to carry insurance or pay a fee “is outside Congress’ Commerce Clause power, and it cannot be otherwise authorized by an assertion of power under the Necessary and Proper Clause. It is not constitutional.” He also declared that the entire law “must be declared void,” because the mandate to carry insurance is “not severable” from the rest of the law. This differs slightly from a similar ruling last month by a Virginia Federal judge Henry E. Hudson, who ruled the individual mandate is unconstitutional, but other parts of the law may be OK.

Virginia and Florida’s Attorney Generals are two of 26 states suing to overturn Obamacare, many who joined suit after receiving thousands of fax petitions from The Pray In Jesus Name Project, proving your faxes get results.

H.R. 2 and H.R. 9 are two important bills that the Republican Majority in the House promised during campaigns, and we need a strong showing by those conservatives we helped elect, for three reasons:

1. Obamacare law funds abortion with our tax-dollars, despite President Obama’s judicially unenforceable Executive Order that pretends to save the unborn while funding their destruction.

2. Obamacare mandates health-care rationing which creates “death panels” for the elderly by diverting their Medicare funds to young unemployed welfare recipients, and forcing Medicare physicians into bankruptcy.

3. Obamacare creates socialist government-control of 1/6th of the U.S. economy under massive bureaucracies that hurt businesses, cost jobs, and don’t care for patients like private doctors do.

We need to take immediate action and petition all 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators to approve H.R. 2 and H.R. 9, which do two things:

1. H.R. 2 repeals the pro-abortion, pro-death, rationing Obamacare law passed last year.

2. H.R. 9 instructs committees to begin work crafting a new bill to reform health care using principles of free-market capitalism that make America great (not socialism/Communism).

So let’s take action today.

Do you remember the legislative battle in the House and Senate last March? Former Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) betrayed conservatives by claiming to be pro-life, then voting with Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to fund abortion. Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) did the same, betraying innocent children in the Senate. They initiated a phony compromise with President Obama who signed a toothless Executive Order (which conflicts with the law, and is unenforceable in court) to give them top-cover to claim they’re not funding abortion, when the law they all passed specifically stated on page 117:

“(ii) ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC FUNDING IS ALLOWED.—The services described in this clause are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted, based on the law as in effect as of the date that is 6 months before the beginning of the plan year involved.” [That’s a direct quote from the law they passed.]

In other words, Democrats lied when they claimed Senator Nelson’s “compromise” with pro-abortion Senator Boxer (D-CA) somehow prevented public tax-payer funding of abortion, and only permitted private funding of abortion (as if that should be allowed either). And Planned Parenthood clearly lied in their analysis of the law, when they claimed “forcing individuals to write two separate checks (both of which are out of private funds) and requiring health plans to administer two different payments of private funds is not necessary to insure public funds are not used for abortion care.” No public funds? Really?

They lied, plain and simple, because the law quoted above now reads ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC FUNDING IS ALLOWED through the Department of Health and Human Services, subsidizing child-killing of innocents with your tax-dollars, so welfare-moms can kill their child for a $12 co-pay, while Planned Parenthood gets rich charging YOU thousands of tax dollars against your will. No wonder both Stupak and Nelson were labeled traitors by every credible pro-life group in America. No wonder 32% of all voters self-identified as conservative Christian voted 78% for Republicans this past November, and threw out Stupak and Pelosi (and will soon throw out Nelson in 2012).

But the horrible Obamacare law remains law, until we help repeal it. So let’s get it done.

Senate Vote Today? Stop Obama's Two Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homose xual Judges

May 23, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

New Petition! Demand the U.S. Senate OPPOSE and FILIBUSTER two bad judges nominated by President Obama, for their anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual rulings. Select, sign and we will fax all 100 Senators instantly (saving you time!)

Senate Vote Today? Stop Obama’s Two Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homose xual Judges

The full Senate could vote today on two bad judges, Andrew Hurwitz and William Kayatta, who could be promoted to critical seats on the 1st and 9th Circuit Courts of Appeals. I have just joined 40 pro-family groups in signing this new letter to all Senators.

We must petition all 100 Senators to STOP and FILIBUSTER both pro-abortion, pro-homose xual judges. Their appeals court seats are just below the Supreme Court.

President Obama’s pick for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is Judge Andrew D. Hurwitz. Many of you remember that it was Hurwitz in 1972 who helped author two decisions which the U.S. Supreme Court used as the foundation for Roe v. Wade. The pro-abortion Hurwitz shockingly sailed out of committee with on a 13 – 5 vote thanks to support from 3 Republican Senators (Tom Coburn, Lindsey Graham, and Jon Kyl). The Senate is expected to vote on Hurwitz confirmation as early as TODAY, Wednesday.

Even pro-choice, pro-abortion liberals agree Roe v. Wade was a bad legal opinion. Analyst Kermit Roosevelt told the Washington Post in 2003, “You will be hard-pressed to find a constitutional law professor, even among those who support the idea of constitutional protection for the right to choose, who will embrace the opinion itself rather than the result….This is not surprising. As constitutional argument, Roe is barely coherent.” [Even worse, Hurwitz helped write a child-murdering opinion.]

Hurwitz continues to not only defend Roe but to brag to the point of celebration of the decision. The mere fact that Obama nominated him is a clear sign that the left knows we are winning and have become desperate to uphold Roe at all cost. The Judicial Action Group (JAG) says “Hurwitz takes pride in his role in crafting the case that had ‘crucial influence’ on both the outcome and the reasoning in Roe. Roe is not only a constitutional abomination but has immorally [resulted] in judicial sanction of the killing of tens of millions of unborn children. Hurwitz should be ashamed of his role in Roe. His pride in his role in Roe is expressed not only as a young law clerk in 1972 but as recently as 2003, at the age of 52. Hurwitz’s pride in his role in Roe is cause for great concern.”

Hurwitz will also be remembered for other liberal decisions. Sen. Sessions (R-AL) told Hurwitz, “You served as pro bono lead counsel in the seminal Supreme Court case of Ring v. Arizona, which struck down Arizona’s death penalty sentencing scheme as unconstitutional, and also invalidated several other States’ statutes as well. You were quoted in an article by the Arizona Attorney newsletter as saying that the experience was ‘the best episode in [your] wonderful career in private practice.’ ” Mr. Hurwitz worked for free to save felony murderers while killing innocents who have been murdered thanks to Roe.

We must fight today and let Congress know the American people will not stand by and let such a pro-abort rule on the Ninth Circuit! Let’s tell 100 Senators NO ON HURWITZ.

Please select here to sign urgent petition, and we will fax all 100 Senators (saving you time!) to OPPOSE and FILIBUSTER two bad judges to stop forcing their anti-Jesus, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual views on the American people.

Obama promotes pro-homose xual Judge who sought to double his own pay

Our friends at Judicial Action Group (JAG) are warning about another activist liberal judge being pushed for promotion by President Obama to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling over Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampsire, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico.

Judge William J. Kayatta must be stopped. Please call your 2 Senators at 202-224-3121 to say “Oppose and filibuster BOTH judges, Kayatta and Hurwitz.”

JAG warns: “Kayatta takes the elitist view that Judges should be paid twice as much as U.S. Senators….Kayatta will not be satisfied with ‘just’ a: “100% raise from current compensation…” he wants more of our money for himself and his elitist friends. Kayatta…approved and edited the White Paper: “Judicial Compensation: Our Federal Judges Must Be Fairly Paid,” [which] report expresses the elitist view that judges should be paid more than Senators and Members of Congress because judges “are not supposed to be average.”…Kayatta also argues that judicial salaries must be doubled…

“Pursuant to Kayatta’s judicial philosophy, Judges may raise their own salaries by legislating from the bench. Kayatta wrote: “A case can be made that the Constitution requires a raise in judicial compensation to ameliorate the diminution which has occurred over time as the result of inflation.” [But he’s wrong, since] the Constitution prohibits judges from raising their own salaries…

“Kayatta was a member of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary when that committee…rated Elena Kagan as ‘Well Qualified.’ Kayatta appeared before the Judiciary Committee to present the Kagan evaluation, and Senator Jeff Sessions took issue with Kayatta over that evaluation.”

“Sessions pointed out to Kayatta that…Kagan was grossly unqualified…”I found it difficult to understand how when she did not meet those qualifications that [Kayatta and] the Committee reached the highest rating for the highest court.”…

“Kayatta’s ABA Report Defends Kagan in Baring Military Recruiters from Harvard. Kayatta helped draft the ABA Report on Kagan that was submitted to the Senate. The report gratuitously raises and defends the issue of Kagan’s role in barring military recruiters from Harvard Law:

[Kayatta defended why] “Harvard Law School had a long-standing policy denying placement office services to any firm or organization that refused to hire students for reasons including known sexual orientation. [Kagan] enforced the policy…In other words…Dean Kagan demonstrated any type of bias that would cause us to question her integrity under our standards.”

[Kayatta complained about Christians who fired three activist pro-homosexual Iowa judges:] “In the wake of these developments, three Supreme Court justices in Iowa were ousted in 2010 after interest groups, most from out of state, spent nearly a million dollars to unseat them owing to the court’s unanimous ruling in a 2009 gay marriage case.”

[But JAG says Kayatta’s] “Paper does not address the fact that the Iowa judges’ ‘gay marriage’ case amounted to brazen judicial usurpation of legislative power. The voters properly exercised their legal ability to remove these errant judges. Without such remedies, the radical activism of judges – like the Iowa judges – would surely proliferate.”

BOTTOM LINE: Kayatta is clearly a pro-homosexual, activist judge who not only complains when Christian citizens vote-out activist judges, Kayatta wants to increase the power of activist judges to double their own salary and enforce pro-homosexual policies by legislating from the bench. KAYATTA MUST BE FILIBUSTERED!

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Pelosi slams measure to protect military chaplains from being forced to hold gay weddings

May 23, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

WASHINGTON, May 22, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Democrat House leaders including Nancy Pelosi have opposed a measure to ensure military chaplains are not forced to perform same-sex “marriages,” arguing that it is based on a “manufactured crisis” and therefore unnecessary – a response strongly criticized by chaplain advocates.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday echoed sentiments issued by the Obama White House regarding the conscience language, part of a defense spending bill, saying that “there’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith.”
Nancy Pelosi

CNSNews.com, which had queried Pelosi about the language, then asked, “So why would you not support the provision that protects them?”

“Because it’s a fraud. It’s a – welcome to the world of manufactured crises. Here’s one,” Pelosi responded.

“So I think that this bill, it’s a very serious bill, the Defense Authorization bill. It’s about the protection of our country,” she said. “And to sprinkle it with almost scare tactics that somebody is proposing something that we have to prevent is really a frivolous exploitation of a very serious piece of legislation.”

Section 536 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (H.R. 4310) reinforces conscience protection for servicemen regarding sexuality, and states that officers may not order military chaplains to perform same-sex “marriages,” or punish them for declining to do so.

The following section, 537, reverses a Pentagon rule issued immediately after the armed forces’ “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was lifted last Fall, stating that marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples can be performed on military bases.

The amendments were approved on party-line votes in the House Armed Services committee May 10, the same day President Obama announced that he “personally” supported same-sex “marriage.”

The White House last Tuesday listed 536 and 537 specifically among several disagreeable portions of the bill, saying that the administration “strongly objects” to the two sections as “unnecessary and ill-advised policies that would inhibit” marriage for same-sex couples, a “potentially unconstitutional” infringement. The conscience rule was criticized specifically as “prohibit[ing] all personnel-related actions based on certain religious and moral beliefs.”

H.R. 4310 passed the Republican-led House on Friday.

Meanwhile, military chaplain advocates strongly questioned the idea that concern about chaplains’ conscience rights was “manufactured.”

“I’m a little bit perplexed, because if according to her, there’s no danger to ministers being forced to act against their conscience, what logical objection could there possibly be to putting that in a law?” Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services told CNSNews.com.

Broglio suggested that “perhaps she’s not very familiar with how the military works.”

“While no one might be constrained to act against his or her conscience, you can also have a situation where someone in command makes it very, very difficult for that person, if the command wants him or her to act in a certain way,” he saidl. “And I think that the law, the provision in the draft, the provision in the bill, would protect the chaplain from that kind of situation.”

Dr. Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, offered several reasons to believe the crisis is quite real.

“We already have some examples of a chaplain being pulled from an assignment simply because he forwarded an e-mail that was critical of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy. He was told that ‘You need to be closely supervised.’ He was threatened that he would have to retire early,” he said.

“We have another chaplain who asked, “Can I speak about this issue? And the commander told him, ‘If you can’t get in line (with the military policy in support of homosexuality), resign your commission.’ So we have those kind of real life cases that the American public doesn’t realize is going on.”

Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, who was court-martialed and removed from the U.S. Navy for praying “in Jesus’ name” at a public event in 2007, agreed.

“Pelosi and Obama now violate every soldier’s right to a sacred worship space devoted to Catholic or Evangelical worship, and threaten to punish chaplains who refuse to turn over the chapel keys,” said Klingenschmitt in a statement Friday.

Pelosi persecutes Chaplains, then lies, calling them "a fraud…manufactured crisis."

May 22, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Pelosi persecutes Chaplains, then lies, calling them “a fraud…manufactured crisis.”

I personally traveled to Washington DC this week to meet my Congressman and visit the staff of 23 Senate offices to personally deliver YOUR 100,000+ petitions (again) for chaplains’ freedom. I walked and prayed past all 100 Senators offices, and entered and delivered hand-written notes to 23 Senators on the Armed Services Committee (please call each listed here by dialing 202-225-3121 today) to demand free speech for military chaplains, and protection for Christian chapels from sodomite desecration.

I stood outside the House of Representatives floor while they voted to PASS our two good chaplain amendments in HR 4310 the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013.

My full report press release from my visit to Capitol Hill is here, which you can please forward to news reporters or radio hosts. Christian Post called me for the following report:

Pelosi Calls Chaplain ‘Conscience Clause’ a ‘Fraud’ By Paul Stanley, Christian Post

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted a Republican proposal that would protect military chaplains from performing same-sex marriages, saying the provision in unnecessary.

“Nobody is ordering them to do that,” Pelosi told reporters Thursday. “I’ve never seen any suggestion that we’re ordering chaplains to perform same-sex [marriages]. Where is that? I think that they can rest assured that if they don’t believe in that, they don’t have to perform those…When asked by a reporter at her Thursday press conference if she supported the provision, Pelosi said she sided with the White House in opposing it.

“I do not support that provision in the bill, that part of the bill,” she said. “I agree with the administration. And there’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith. Arguing that the issue was moot, she added, ‘Because it’s a fraud. It’s a – Welcome to the world of manufactured crises. Here’s one.’…”

“Former Navy Chaplain [Gordon] James Klingenschmitt was lobbying [23] members of the Senate Armed Services Committee Friday on Capitol Hill and took exception to the minority leader’s comments.

“I disagree with Rep. Pelosi. There are dozens of active duty chaplains who have been pressured to not speak against homosexuality,” Klingenschmitt told The Christian Post. “I know of one Army and one Navy chaplain who have already resigned. Another active duty chaplain has been silenced, threatened and punished against speaking against ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ What they [Pelosi] are saying is simply false….”

“Klingenschmitt expects the White House to threaten to veto the proposal but there a number of Democratic senators such as Joe Manchin of West Virginia who are starting to distance themselves from President Obama on this issue. [Also call Claire McCaskill, Ben Nelson, and Jim Webb.]

“I’m confident we’ll have this provision in the final bill, but it’s a 50-50 chance at this point.”

“The House voted 299-120 to approve the Defense Authorization Act late Friday afternoon. However, the bill faces a steep battle in the Senate.” [LET’S TAKE ACTION…]

Please select here to sign urgent petition, and we will fax all 535 Congressmen and Senators (saving you time!) to PROTECT MILITARY CHAPLAINS AND TROOPS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM to oppose immorality, and co-sponsor and pass H.R. 3828.

Victory! House Armed Services Cmte protects Chaplains and Chapels

The House Armed Services Committee added (but the Senate has not yet added) two good religious freedom amendments to the 2013 Defense Authorization Act H.R. 4310, protecting free speech for military chaplains who refuse to preside at homose xual ‘wedding’ ceremonies, and blocking same-sex marriage or marriage-like ceremonies in chapels on military bases.

The Hill reports: “Members of the House Armed Services committee voted to include the measure by Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-Miss.) into the panel’s version of the fiscal 2013 defense authorization bill late Wednesday night.

“The measure, which prevents ‘marriage or marriage-like ceremonies’ between same-sex couples from taking place at American military bases, was approved by a 37 to 24 vote along party lines.

“Republican panel members also approved language to protect military personnel from reprisals for expressing ‘their moral principles and religious beliefs… concerning the appropriate and inappropriate expression of human sexuality.’

“That amendment, sponsored by Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) was approved by a straight party-line vote of 36 to 25.” Now bishops for 2,000 military chaplains are petitioning to pass these amendments to defend chaplains rights.

Sadly, military chaplains report heavy reprisals, as confirmed by Human Events who interviewed “one currently serving chaplain, who spoke to Human Events on the condition of anonymity, told a similar story of pressure to conform [to endorsing homosexual sin]. He declined to give his name citing fear of reprisal; active duty service members are not to speak to the media without prior authorization….now it is chaplains who say they are being muzzled by the military and a group has formed to pass legislation seeking relief on their behalf.”

[Dr. Chaps’ comment: Chaplains being muzzled? Free speech censored? Boy does that sound familiar. 2012 is 2006 all over again for evangelical chaplains. It’s time to clean house and pass this new pro-chaplain law, so let’s all DEMAND all 100 Senators keep the good pro-chaplain amendments. Please sign our petition today…]

Obama threatens Chaplains: “You can’t preach against me in chapel.”

The Obama Administration has now directly threatened military chaplains with “sedition” or equivalent charges of “treason” if they dare to preach against Obama’s abortion policies during optional Sunday worship inside military chapels.

According to the Business Insider, an “emerging conflict between the Catholic Church and the Obama administration may have a new front: in the U.S. military itself.

“The Catholic Church is fighting mad about an HHS ruling that would have them buy insurance for things they consider sinful–contraception, sterilization and abortion.

“All the bishops in the country sent out a letter to be read in their parishes promising that the Church ‘cannot-and will not-comply with this unjust law.’

“Even Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who is in charge of Catholic military chaplains sent out the same letter.

“But after he did, the Army’s Office of the Chief of Chaplains sent out another communication forbidding Catholic priests to read the letter, in part because it seemed to encourage civil disobedience, and could be read as seditious against the Commander-in-Chief.

“More than one Catholic chaplain who spoke to us off the record confirmed that many chaplains disobeyed this instruction and read the letter anyway. [Risking treason charges.] Others sought further instructions from their Archbishop.

“Now after much behind-the-scenes bureaucratic wrangling, a new version of the letter will be read, one that was edited of the language about ‘unjust laws.’…

“A new statement issued this afternoon from Archbishop Broglio’s office acknowledged the interference this way:

“Archbishop Broglio and the Archdiocese stand firm in the belief, based on legal precedent, that such a directive from the Army constituted a violation of his Constitutionally-protected right of free speech and the free exercise of religion, as well as those same rights of all military chaplains and their congregants.

“Following a discussion between Archbishop Broglio and the Secretary of the Army, The Honorable John McHugh, it was agreed that it was a mistake to stop the reading of the Archbishop’s letter. Additionally, the line: ‘We cannot – we will not – comply with this unjust law’ was removed by Archbishop Broglio at the suggestion of Secretary McHugh over the concern that it could potentially be misunderstood as a call to civil disobedience. [The chaplains’ speech was censored by the Obama Administration.]

“It’s an issue that Catholic chaplains are taking very seriously in private.”

[Chaps Comment: It’s clear that OBAMA IS AFRAID OF CHURCH VOTE AWAKENING. Let’s take a stand for military chaplains rights, by petitioning Congress right now:

Chaplains threatened, retaliated for Religious Views. Hero Congressman Steps Up.

It seems like common sense. Chaplains should be free to express their religious beliefs, and freely teach and counsel against immorality in our military. But after repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” religious liberty of our military chaplains and troops is under attack.

Focus on the Family reports good news: “Late last week, Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., introduced a bill aiming to protect chaplains and other members of the Armed Services who oppose homosexuality from being targeted for discrimination. It also seeks to keep military property from being used to perform same-sex ceremonies.

“In part, the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (HR 3828) reads that ‘a service member cannot be denied promotion or other training opportunities for any sincerely held beliefs he has about the appropriate or inappropriate expression of human sexuality.’

“Though the First Amendment to the Constitution already protects those rights, Huelskamp said in a press release it’s necessary to shore them up with a law since the repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) policy.

“Fundamental to the core of this nation is the protection of religious liberty,” Huelskamp said. “The Military Religious Freedom Protection Act will ensure that none of our men and women in uniform — including our chaplain corps — is asked to compromise their religious and spiritual beliefs. It will also protect the freedom of those in the military to express vocally the tenets of their faiths. And it will make certain that our military facilities are not used in contravention to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which states that marriage is between one man and one woman only.

[CHAPS COMMENT: Military chapels in all 50 states must now be open to desecration.]

“Military installations exist to carry out the national defense of our nation, not to facilitate a narrow social agenda,” said Huelskamp.

“According to the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, the repeal immediately created a chilling effect on free speech among the troops and a ‘climate of fear’ for chaplains who didn’t know what their rights were in the new environment, especially when it came to addressing and speaking about homosexual behavior,” FOTF continued.

“In some cases, said Executive Director Ron Crews, chaplains “suffered retaliation, including having their careers threatened, for being ‘politically incorrect.'”

Let’s petition Congress to support this new bill…

The National Organization of Marriage President Brian Brown wrote:

“In September, the Department of Defense issued two more memos, requiring all military facilities to be available for same-sex weddings and allowing chaplains to participate in same-sex ceremonies.

“Recognizing this growing threat to the religious liberty of our armed forces, Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas last week introduced the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 3828). The bill does three things:

–Protects military chaplains from being forced to participate in any ceremony or function that is against their conscience or religious beliefs.

–Protects our men and women in uniform from being discriminated against because of religious beliefs opposed to same-sex marriage or homosexuality.

–Prohibits the use of military facilities for same-sex marriage ceremonies.

“But President Obama is refusing to do his job as President—picking and choosing which laws are worth enforcing. He refuses to defend DOMA in court and is actively undermining it at every turn. And same-sex marriage activists have been working to leverage the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell to harass and intimidate chaplains and other service members who are standing up for marriage.

“Tell your Congressman we need to protect the religious liberty of our armed forces—just like they put their lives on the line to protect ours. Tell your Congressman to co-sponsor the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (H.R.3828) today.”

[Chaps comment: Folks, we must take a stand for our troops and chaplains. Let’s bury all 535 Congressmen and Senators in fax paper today.]

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Pelosi Calls Chaplain 'Conscience Clause' a 'Fraud'

May 21, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted a Republican proposal that would protect military chaplains from performing same-sex marriages, saying the provision in unnecessary.

The issue surfaced after military chaplains expressed concern they would be ordered to marry same-sex couples against their personal beliefs and/or the beliefs of their denomination. Following President Barack Obama’s announcement last week that he backs gay marriage, Republicans immediately proposed an amendment to the 2013 defense authorization bill that would protect chaplains from violating their conscience, moral principles and religious beliefs.

When asked by a reporter at her Thursday press conference if she supported the provision, Pelosi said she sided with the White House in opposing it.

“I do not support that provision in the bill, that part of the bill,” she said. “I agree with the administration. And there’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith.”

Arguing that the issue was moot, she added, “Because it’s a fraud. It’s a – Welcome to the world of manufactured crises. Here’s one.”

Former Navy Chaplain James Klingenschmitt was lobbying all 26 members of the Senate Armed Services Committee Friday on Capitol Hill and took exception to the minority leader’s comments.

The White House issued a statement on Tuesday verifying that the administration “strongly opposes” the provision, known as Section 536 that provides protection for the chaplains and Section 537 that says military facilities cannot be used to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.

“Section 536 would prohibit all personnel-related actions based on certain religious and moral beliefs, which, in its overbroad terms, is potentially harmful to good order and discipline,” noted the White House.

“Section 537 would obligate DOD to deny Service members, retirees, and their family members access to facilities for religious ceremonies on the basis of sexual orientation, a troublesome and potentially unconstitutional limitation on religious liberty.”

Klingenschmitt expects the White House to threaten to veto the proposal but there a number of Democratic senators such as Joe Manchin of West Virginia who are starting to distance themselves from President Obama on this issue.

“I’m confident we’ll have this provision in the final bill, but it’s a 50-50 chance at this point.”

The House voted 299-120 to approve the Defense Authorization Act late Friday afternoon. However, the bill faces a steep battle in the Senate.

Wow, am I getting hate-mail from the homosexual community, just for quoting the Bible.

My video interview on the David Pakman show (a pro-homosexual blogger) has gone viral, with over 6,500 views in just two days, after it was re-posted by scores of ‘gay’ web-sites, including the Huffington Post, On Top Magazine, and Lez Get Real, among others.

I’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest. Here’s just one (highly edited) hate mail I got (of many) from an obviously demon-ruled homosexual viewer:

“you ignorant g**d*** bigot, you worthless waste of air space. why is it that all of you idiot bible waving bigots that have such issues with gay people are always such gross fat nasty pasty old hogs? are you just bitter because no one wants you so you turn it on to innocent gay people, who are are almost always better citizens and smarter than the general public, and certainly better than some bible waving ignoramous like you. f*** you you worthless d***less cowardly chickens*** jesus freaking half wit. pull that worthless goddamn bible out of your a** you illiterate bigot and grow up!

Obama: The First ‘Gay’ President (Newsweek cover). Senate to vote on DOMA.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has announced he will schedule a vote to repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, following President Obama’s open endorsement of homosexual ‘marriage’ this week. Newsweek reports Obama is the first ‘gay’ President.

Politico reports: “A day after President Barack Obama endorsed gay marriage, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggested Thursday that Democrats may move to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the Clinton-era law that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

“Such a move would energize the liberal base and provide a contrast to House Republicans, who passed their own measure this week aimed at bolstering DOMA.

“But it could also alienate conservative Democrats in the middle of an election year…”

“Reid, a Mormon who believes that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, said in the wake of the president’s remarks that the government should not prohibit same-sex couples from marrying.

“On Thursday, he also said he expects the Democratic Party’s platform to include a stance supporting gay marriage.

“The president is in favor of it, I’m sure it will be” in the platform, he said…

“Reid would not commit to a timeframe for taking up the Defense of Marriage Act repeal, which was sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and has languished since passing the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote in November.”

“But it could be a Democratic problem — some of Reid’s own moderates weren’t keen about talking about the debate when asked on Thursday.

“Let the president and the leadership deal with that,” Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said about the Defense of Marriage Act debate.

Breaking: Obama says JESUS wants sod omite “marriage”

President Obama fully endorsed sod omy today, blaming Jesus Christ for his new views, declaring homosexual “marriage” should become “legal.” But sin will never be legal in the eyes of Almighty God. It can be forgiven if we repent and believe in Jesus Christ, but sin cannot be made legal. Obama said, in part:

“I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married…you know, I, you know, we are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated.”

In other words, Obama believes Jesus wants homosexual marriage for America. His words, not mine. Read his words again, slowly.

Does the Golden Rule mean Jesus endorsed sod omy? Of course not. In Matthew 19:4-6, Jesus clearly defined marriage as only valid between one man and one woman: “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” In context of Matthew 18:6, Jesus said of those who recruit children into sexual sin: “whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” 1 Cor 6:9 makes it clear: “Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral…nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders…will inherit the kingdom of God.” Obama is a false Bible teacher.

I predicted one year ago that Obama would fully endorse “marriage” for homosexuals, and I repeated that two days ago (as you see below). Obama now makes sin equal to holiness, which is impossible in the eyes of God.

Obama’s bad move comes just hours after Colorado legislators, North Carolina voters, and Indiana primary voters ALL REJECTED PRO-HOMOSEXUAL ballot initiatives or candidates. North Carolina voters passed 61 to 39% an amendment to their state Constitution rejecting not only homosexual “marriage” but also rejecting civil unions. Indiana RINO Senator Dick Lugar routinely supported pro-homosexual judges, and was rejected by Church voters last night.

In good news, my own neighbor and friend, Colorado state representative Mark Waller (R-Colorado Springs) stalled and stopped homosexual “civil unions” bill in the Colorado state house last night, and was featured in the New York Times, thank God. Reports suggested if a vote were allowed, civil unions may have passed in Colorado, but now they must wait another year, when hopefully Christians will re-take the state senate..

What can be done? Let’s continue to petition Congress to defend traditional marriage.

New York Gov. demands Homosexual Marriage in all 50 States.

The Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo demanded homosexual “marriage” be allowed in all 50 states, in a speech to the “Empire State Pride Agenda” activist group this week. Receiving a standing ovation for more than a minute, Cuomo prepared to run for President in 2016, issuing “a passionate plea on Thursday for other states to follow New York’s lead and allow gay couples to wed,” reports the New York Times.

“Mr. Cuomo demanded that the federal Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] be repealed. His voice rising in intensity as he spoke, he also called for federal legislation that would bar discrimination against gay men and lesbians…in his most forceful terms to date, Mr. Cuomo called for his counterparts [the other 49 state governors] across the country…to push for the legalization of same-sex marriage in their own statehouses.”

The U.S. Senate Judiciary committee voted to repeal DOMA, and homosexualize the institution of marriage in all 50 states. The full Senate may vote this week.

ABC News reported: “the legislation [was] supported by all ten Democrats on the committee. After that the legislation will go to the full Senate for consideration.”

Please take action today, by calling both your U.S. Senators and asking them “Please vote NO AND FILIBUSTER the bill S.598 the mislabeled ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ which actually disrespects and homosexualizes the institution of marriage. Traditional marriage should be protected as defined by God: only valid between one man and one woman.”

You can reach all 100 Senators by dialing 202-225-3121, and requesting your state.
Don’t have time to make 100 phone calls? You can fax all 100 Senators and all 435 Congressmen instantly by signing our fax petition (saving you much time) and delivering real faxes to 535 Members.

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 today demanding 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. God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,
