Appeals Court: “Too Many Jesus Prayers” before Town of Greece, NY Meetings

Let us pray. Almighty God, we pray that You will make the U.S. Supreme Court reverse the bad decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which struck down the Town of Greece’s (New York) longstanding policy of allowing prayers “in Jesus’ name” before public meetings. Your Word says, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name” (1 Chron. 16:8). Our public officials desperately need Jesus’ name to rule with wisdom. We pray that free speech would be restored, so all citizens and pastors may pray as their consciences dictates, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Obama, Pelosi Want Military Chapels and Chaplains for Homosexual ‘Marriages’

Let us pray. Almighty God, we are grieved that the Obama Administration and Nancy Pelosi “strongly object” to two good House defense authorization amendments that would prohibit the use of military chapels for same-sex “marriage or marriage-like” ceremonies, and would protect military chaplains from negative reprisals for refusing to perform homosexual ‘marriage’ ceremonies. Your Word says, “With the pure You show Yourself pure” (2 Sam. 22:27). God give U.S. Senators courage to keep these two good amendments in the Senate version of this bill, or at least during conference committee negotiations, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Former Navy Chaplain Blames Homosexuality On Marketing

May 19, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

David Pakman was kind enough to let us know about an interview that he did with former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt. The former chaplain insists that people are born straight, but that marketing somehow makes someone gay. According to Pakman, he “countered that if marketing accounts for homosexuality in humans, how does it happen in 4000 other species, and he indicated that it is the devil/demonic possession from humans ENTERING THE ANIMALS.”

Pakman went on to explain:

Gordon also added that “when president obama endorsed homosexual marriage, he blamed jesus christ,” and made direct attacks against President Obama and against me, saying that the devil promotes homosexuality through straight people like David Pakman and President Obama. Another hugely dangerous comment he made is that straight marriages and society are hurt by gay marriages through the abuse of children which he claims is a constant in gay marriage/gay parenting (confusing to me as well).

From the sounds of it, not only is Klingenschmitt wrestling with his own demons, but that he sounds desperate to prove that he is right just so he can assuage his own problems.

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt Says Marketing Makes You Gay

May 18, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt has said everyone is born straight and marketing turns some people gay.

Klingenschmitt made national headlines when he challenged the military’s rule on inclusive prayers during events which include a multi-faith audience such as ship commissionings and change-of-command ceremonies. A born-again Christian, Klingenschmitt demanded the right to pray “in the name of Jesus” in public settings. He was honorably discharged for insubordination.

Appearing on The David Pakman Show, Klingenschmitt condemned President Barack Obama’s recent public announcement in support of gay marriage.

“President Obama is on the wrong side of history,” Klingenschmitt told host David Pakman. “Because ultimately history will be decided by God, who is the judge of all mankind. And people who side with homosexual sin will be judged by God for promoting that sin, including our own president, Barack Obama.”

“When President Obama endorsed homosexual marriage, he blamed Jesus Christ. … He said that Jesus taught the Golden Rule. … That’s false Bible teaching. The president is teaching the opposite of what Jesus Christ himself taught about gay marriage.”

Klingenschmitt insisted that nobody is born gay and that the gay community must recruit to repopulate itself.

“The marketing of homosexuality has an agenda that is to repopulate their population by recruiting the children of heterosexuals. … This is what this whole marketing scheme for pro-homosexual movement is all about.”

“Marketing is related to the demonic,” he added, “because the devil wants to recruit people into sin.”

Nancy Pelosi Persecutes Chaplains, Then Lies, Calling Them 'A Fraud…A Manufactured Crisis'

May 18, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2012 — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) apparently deceived reporters today when opposing two religious freedom amendments that would protect military chaplains’ right to free speech and to refuse to facilitate homosexual weddings. Pelosi reportedly called the whole idea a “fraud” and said, “There’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith,” and “Nobody is ordering them to do that” [facilitate homosexual weddings] and “Welcome to the world of manufactured crises. Here’s one.”

Sadly, Ms. Pelosi knows all too well the current Pentagon legal policy drafted by President Obama’s pro-homosexual bureaucrat Jeh Johnson requires that military chaplains must open their chapel buildings in all 50 states and turn over the keys to allow Christian or Catholic altars to be desecrated by homosexual ceremonies. While some chaplains can be excused from presiding at such ceremonies, all chaplains have been ordered by the policy to facilitate ‘gay’ weddings by scheduling, support, maintenance, and fully opening use of their chapels, whose altars must be re-consecrated after acts of sodomy are honored thereupon.

“We don’t hold Jewish weddings in Catholic chapels, so why force homosexual ‘weddings’ in every chapel nationwide?” asked former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, PhD. “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.” The Pentagon now openly violates the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act which legally defines marriage as only valid between one man and one woman on federal property, by treating military chapels on federal bases nationwide as if they all sit on Massachusetts land, not United States land.

Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) and Congressman Steven Palazzo (R-MS) each introduced amendments which were approved respectively by 37 to 24 and 36 to 25 votes in the House Armed Services Committee, protecting the free speech rights of military chaplains who voice disagreement with homosexual sin, and protecting military chapels from desecration.

Pelosi and Obama oppose these amendments, which means they favor censoring or punishing chaplains’ free speech, and they favor desecrating chapels in all 50 states. But where do SASC Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Jim Webb (D-VA) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) stand, with military chaplains or with homosexual weddings?

Dr. Klingenschmitt personally visited the offices of 23 Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) in DC this week, to plead with them to help protect and pass both good pro-chaplain amendments in H.R. 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013.

He reminded Senators he delivered 100,000 fax petitions, and will fax Congressional scorecards to nearly every pastor in their states before the next election. 2,000 chaplains from 19 faith groups have petitioned Congress to pass these two amendments. 65 evangelical chaplains are suing the Navy for anti-Christian persecution. One chaplain was relieved of his duty to manage the chapel after stating he would refuse to schedule ‘gay’ weddings in his chapel. Two chaplains resigned from the Army and Navy after the administration’s DADT repeal training manual taught they must “reconcile” with open homosexuality or quit, and over a dozen chaplains reported to their bishops of being personally pressured to censor their speech or quit the military.

Gordon Klingenschmitt, Former Navy Chaplain, Slams Obama's Gay Marriage Stance

May 18, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Yet another right-wing pundit has come forward with puzzling declarations in an effort to denounce President Obama’s support of same-sex marriage support of same-sex marriage last week.

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt took to “The David Pakman Show” in an interview set to air May 21, slamming Obama for being “on the wrong side of history” before claiming that he believes everyone is born straight, but some people become gay as a result of marketing.

“Ultimately history will be decided by God, who is the judge of all mankind,” Klingenschmit says. “People who side with homosexual sin will be judged by God for promoting that sin, including our own president, Barack Obama.”

He then goes on to note what he perceives as the ultimate difference between racial minorities and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. “When it comes to morality, that is different than race,” Klingenschmit says “It is not a sin, obviously, to be created as a black person or as a woman. I think Jesus would restore full equality based on the way a person was born…the problem is, nobody is born a homosexual.”

As to how a person “becomes” a homosexual after being born straight, he adds, “People are recruited, people are deceived, and people make a choice. They have a free will, moral choice….The marketing of homosexuality has an agenda, and that is to repopulate their population by recruiting the children of heterosexuals.”

When asked by Pakman, “What about in the 4,000 other species that have homosexuality? As far as I know they don’t have TV, they don’t have advertising… how is it that humans are gay sometimes because of marketing but for 4,000 other species, is it something else?”

Klingenschmitt responded, “It is possible for demons or the devil to inhabit or invade animals in just the same way they invade humans and that causes a sin of lust.”

In a previous appearance on Pakman’s show following the repeal of the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy last fall, Klingenschmit has previously claimed to have performed over 50 gay/lesbian exorcisms, and has about a 50 percent success rate in “curing” gayness via these exorcisms.

Victory! House Armed Services Committee protects Chaplains and Chapels

May 17, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Urgent Petition! Defend Military Chaplains. Demand Congress pass H.R. 3828 to protect chaplains religious freedom to oppose immorality, & troops’ conscience. Select here, sign petition, we will fax all 535 Congressmen (saving you time!)

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…]

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.

Chaplains “Persecuted Based on their Religious Beliefs,” says Congressman

Our friends at Human Events report: “The House Armed Services Committee will have a chance later this week to consider a measure that would protect freedom of conscience for military chaplains in the wake of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

“Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), Chairman of the HASC Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, introduced an amendment to the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that would protect military chaplains and all service members, he said, from ‘persecution based on their religious beliefs.’…

“…a bill introduced in January by Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.)…would explicitly allow military chaplains to preach and practice their faith without fear of professional reprisal, following the repeal of a longstanding ban on gay troops serving openly, and reports that chaplains with moral opposition to homosexuality were experiencing pressure to stay silent about their beliefs.

“The bill, which would also prohibit base chapels from being used for same-sex marriage services, has picked up four sponsors…and now stands at 49, but has languished in committee since January. Akin’s amendment does not include a prohibition on same-sex services on bases, but otherwise reads like Huelskamp’s bill.

“The Armed Forces shall accommodate the conscience and sincerely held moral principles and religious beliefs of the members of the Armed Forces concerning the appropriate and inappropriate expression of human sexuality and may not use such conscience, principles, or beliefs as the basis of any adverse personnel action, discrimination, or denial of promotion, schooling, training, or assignment,” it says.

“According to information from Akin’s office, the amendment was developed with help from Huelskamp, Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-Miss.) and chaplains’ advocacy groups.

“My amendment is about protecting the religious liberty of military chaplains and the service members under their care,” Akin said in a statement. “Liberals may have successfully ended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, but they should not be allowed to force members of our military to give up their religious beliefs. That is simply unacceptable and unconstitutional.”

“The House Armed Services Committee is expected to consider the amendment in the latter half of its all-day mark-up Wednesday. It’s unclear how the vote will go.”

[Dr. Chaps’ Comment: Why is it ‘unclear’ how the vote will go? Do Democrats oppose the First Amendment Freedoms of Chaplains to preach the gospel? Let’s petition all 100 Senators, and all 435 Congressmen, especially the Armed Services Committees…]

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…

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.

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.”

“The Armed Forces shall accommodate the conscience and sincerely held moral principles and religious beliefs of the members of the Armed Forces concerning the appropriate and inappropriate expression of human sexuality and may not use such conscience, principles, or beliefs as the basis of any adverse personnel action, discrimination, or denial of promotion, schooling, training, or assignment,” it says.

“According to information from Akin’s office, the amendment was developed with help from Huelskamp, Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-Miss.) and chaplains’ advocacy groups.

“My amendment is about protecting the religious liberty of military chaplains and the service members under their care,” Akin said in a statement. “Liberals may have successfully ended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, but they should not be allowed to force members of our military to give up their religious beliefs. That is simply unacceptable and unconstitutional.”

“The House Armed Services Committee is expected to consider the amendment in the latter half of its all-day mark-up Wednesday. It’s unclear how the vote will go.”

2,000 Chaplains: Obama policy has “seeded hostility toward chaplains”

Our friends at the Traditional Values Coalition have sent an urgent warning about the Pentagon’s continued pressure against Christian Chaplains, to either endorse homosexual sin as normal or be silenced or punished.

“Right now, thousands of military chaplains are under threat from new regulations that prevent them from speaking out in any way against homosexuality and other sound Biblical teaching,” says TVC President Andrea Lafferty.

“Should our military chaplains be brave enough to preach or counsel one of our men and women in uniform contrary to the desires of the Defense Department, the new regulations repealing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ can ultimately ruin the careers of these military chaplains, up to and including dishonorable discharge — all because our chaplains refuse to compromise their consciences!

“So serious and dire is this threat that over 18 Christian denominations have reached out to Congress and urged them to reverse the Defense Department’s course. Some denominations such as the Catholic Military Archdiocese have threatened to remove all of their military chaplains, should Obama refuse to backtrack on his violations of our religious freedoms.”

TVC is not alone in their concern.

The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty represents over 2,000 military chaplains, and recently wrote to the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee:

“Unfortunately, recent changes in military and other policies have ushered into existence a seeded hostility toward chaplains that subscribe to longstanding, deeply-held tenets regarding marriage and sexual behavior. If this hostility toward the chaplaincy persists, and certain chaplains lose their endorsements because of their inability to teach and share with their fellow servants the full counsel of God, a constitutional crisis will emerge, as the military cannot function without the chaplaincy, much less a partial chaplaincy.”

Let’s take a stand for our chaplains’ freedom of speech, now threatened by the Obama Administration’s active policies of censorship and hatred of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s petition Congress to pass this chaplain freedom bill…

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…

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.

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.”

Is Obama First 'Gay' President (Newsweek)? Senate to vote on DOMA.

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 homose xual ‘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 homose xual “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 homose xual 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 homose xuals, 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 homose xual “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 today’s 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.

VP Joe Biden: Obama agrees with me on Homosexual Marriage

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Vice President Joe Biden described himself as “absolutely comfortable” with gay couples having the same rights as straight couples. Then both Biden and senior advisor David Axelrod BOTH claimed President Obama has also personally and fully endorsed homose xual ‘marriage.’

“Look. I am vice president of the United States of America,” Biden said. “The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual – men and women marrying – are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don’t see much of a distinction beyond that.”

Asked whether the Obama administration in a second term would come out in favor of same-sex marriage, Biden replied: “I can’t speak to that. I don’t know the answer to that,” he said.

Biden’s office then claimed Obama COMPLETELY AGREES with Biden for sod omy. The Washington Post reports that immediately after that interview, a Biden spokesperson said that the vice president “was saying what the President has said previously — that committed and loving same-sex couples deserve the same rights and protections enjoyed by all Americans, and that we oppose any effort to rollback those rights.”

“That’s why we stopped defending the constitutionality of section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act in legal challenges and support legislation to repeal it,” the aide said. “Beyond that, the Vice President was expressing that he too is evolving on the issue, after meeting so many committed couples and families in this country.”

And Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said via Twitter shortly after Biden spoke: “What VP said-that all married couples should have exactly the same legal rights-is precisely POTUS’s position.”

[Dr. Chaps’ comment: This is proof Obama’s “evolving” views of homosexual marriage have completely matured into full endorsement of sod omy. Obama is no longer evolving. His spokesman Axelrod said there is no daylight between Obama himself and “total equality” of sin with holiness.]

Let’s all petition Congress today to OPPOSE sod omite ‘marriage,’ defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, and pass an amendment to the Constitution defining marriage in all 50 states as only valid between one man and one woman. . .

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.”

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 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.

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,

Obama says JESUS wants homose xual ‘marriage’

Let us pray.

Forgive us for listening to false teachers who claim Jesus promotes sin, when Jesus came to deliver us from evil. From Proverbs 14:34, we know that “Righteousness exalts a nation” and “sin is a reproach to any people.” Forgive us Father, we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Congressmen warn Vanderbilt University to Stop Anti-Christian Discrimination

Let us pray. Almighty God, we grieve that Christian organizations on the Vanderbilt University campus are being forced to allow non-Christians, homosexuals, and even atheists lead their bible studies, or be forced off campus. We pray God, You protect the Christian students, to convict University leaders to stop their anti-Christian discrimination, that illegally punishes us in the name of ‘tolerance’ and excludes Christians in the name of inclusive ‘diversity.’ Your Word says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord.” (Proverbs 21:1) May the hearts of the University officials be turned by your hand, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let us pray.

Victory coming? Senator Introduces FDR Prayer Memorial Bill

May 11, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

URGENT PETITION! Add F.D.R.’s D-Day Prayer to the W.W.II Memorial in DC by passing H.R. 2070, and Pass S.Res.18 allowing optional PRAYER AT PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, and pass H.R. 2848 the VETERANS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACT. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress.

Victory coming? Senator Introduces FDR Prayer Memorial Bill

After YOU helped fax tens of thousands of petitions to the House and Senate requesting they engrave FDR’s prayer on the WWII memorial, guess what happened?

We finally have a Senator introducing the legislation. Thanks to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and some quietly persistent lobbying by our friend Chris Long of Ohio Christian Alliance.

Senator Portman is requesting Congress authorize an inscription of a prayer uttered on June 6, 1944, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) prayed “Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity….”

These are words the Obama Administration hopes will never be inscripted on the World War II memorial, complaining “any plaque or inscription of prayer would ‘dilute’ the memorial’s central message.” However, contrary to the wishes of the White House and thanks to the support from citizens like you, the US House of Representatives voted 386-26 to add the prayer!

Now the same bill, H.R. 2070 was introduced to the U.S. Senate by Senator Rob Portman (OH), who called for its immediate passage.

Portman said in an official press release, “On D-Day, courageous Americans risked and sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedoms and end tyranny abroad…That morning, President Roosevelt asked our nation to come together to pray for the men overseas. His words brought strength and comfort to many during one of the most challenging times for our nation and will forever be etched in our history.”

Friends, we are one step closer to honoring the Americans who gave their lives in WWII, AND THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT AND DIED. However we are no longer in the friendly territory of the Republican controlled House but rather in the Harry Reid-controlled Senate. We must petition all 100 Senators to support this truly wonderful prayer memorial, so generations of Americans will realize how Almighty God answered America’s prayers. We owe it to the memory of every American who paid with his life to protect religious freedom. Please take action with us today…

SELECT HERE to sign URGENT PETITION to ADD F.D.R.’S PRAYER to the W.W.II Memorial in DC, and DEFEND PUBLIC PRAYER with H.R. 2848 the VETERANS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACT and S.RES.18 for PRAYER AT SCHOOL MEETINGS, and we will fax 535 Congressmen/Senators instantly (saving you time!)

Guess who’s blocking the FDR Prayer at the WWII Veterans Memorial?

The same Democrat Senator who is pushing for mandatory pro-homosexual lectures to public school kids in all 50 states is now blocking a federal bill to add President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s prayer to the World War II memorial.

Senator Al Franken (D-MN) sits on the committee that is blocking the prayer bill, which is sad because FDR was a Democrat, so Franken’s opposition to the FDR prayer bill can only be explained by his adamant opposition to all religion, period.

It is no coincidence, therefore, that Franken’s legislative partner, the openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) was one of only 26 Congressmen to vote against the FDR prayer memorial.

After H.R. 2070 the bill to simply engrave FDR’s D-Day prayer on the WWII memorial passed the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly 386-26, it was assigned to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee where it sits on a shelf.

Almost all Democrats favor engraving FDR’s prayer, so why are Franken and Polis so powerful to stop this bill? Because President Obama also initially opposed H.R. 2070.

During the House Committee hearings an Obama Administration officially objected saying FDR’s “prayer would dilute the memorial’s central message.” Sadly the White House even went as far as to mislead Congress saying that the “intrusion” of a prayer on a memorial was “technically prohibited by federal law.” But that’s ridiculous, considering the hundreds of religious artifacts engraved in many places in DC.

But World War II veterans have overwhelmingly supported H.R. 2070. “It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” said Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH). “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has blocked this bill for two months. I say it’s time we call each of 22 Senators, at 202-225-3121, and bury all 100 Senators in fax paper, demanding the FDR prayer be engraved on the WWII memorial.

Here is a list of the Senate Committee members blocking this bill. Call all 22 today!

Democrats   —   Republicans
Jeff Bingaman — Lisa Murkowski
Ron Wyden — John Barrasso
Tim Johnson — Jim Risch
Mary Landrieu — Mike Lee
Maria Cantwell — Rand Paul
Bernie Sanders — Dan Coats
Debbie Stabenow — Rob Portman
Mark Udall John — Hoeven
Jeanne Shaheen — Dean Heller
Al Franken — Bob Corker
Joe Manchin — Chris Coons

Let’s make 22 phone calls today, or please sign our petition and we will fax all 100 Senators (saving you time…)

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 the House and awaits action in the U.S. Senate. 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 last fall 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!

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,
