Atheist Group to Hold 'Freethought' Festival, Concert at Military Base

March 17, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Atheists represent less than 1 percent of the population of the U.S. military, but at the end of this month they will be holding a public festival and rock concert to celebrate “freethought” (atheism, humanism and skepticism) on one of the largest military bases in the U.S.

North Carolina’s Fort Bragg will host “Rock Beyond Belief” (RBB), an event organizer Justin Griffith, a sergeant in the US Army and an atheist, hopes will generate more support for nonbelievers serving in the military.

According to some reports, military nontheists have said they feel they are unwelcome targets of proselytism, and complain of compulsory religious prayers and practices at official events.

Jason Torpy, president of the Military Association of Atheists & Freethinkers, told The Christian Post that it’s important to understand the background of how the atheist event came about.

The idea for RBB grew out of a Christian festival called “Rock the Fort” in 2010. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association sponsored the event that included Christian music, speakers and an altar call.

Torpy said that Rock The Fort “was given full-court press support from the chaplaincy. As a result of that, our community, atheists and humanists, asked for equal treatment.”

But while organizers of RBB say they just want an equal opportunity, ChristianFighterPilot.com, a blog run by an enlisted pilot who goes by J.D., states that organizers of the event “have secured the explicit ‘guarantee’ of the US Army that they can criticize religion – and people who are religious.”

Earlier, some concern were raised over the songs of headlining band Aiden, which are critical of religions – especially Christianity – and include lyrics such as, “Love how they burn your synagogues. Love how they torch your holy books…faith whether Christian, Muslim, Jew. Still you all distort the truth. The death of fiction will save us all.'”

Fort Bragg took these public concerns over the band seriously and originally gave Griffith the same stipulations he gave the Fort Bragg chaplains regarding the Christian event: the performers could “make no statements critical of other religions.”

But JD writes, “Griffith apparently refused. In an effort that almost certainly included his legal representation, Griffith went back and forth with Col Sicinski, Fort Bragg’s garrison commander, who finally signed off on the concert.”

Sincinski issued a statement that said, in part, “Fort Bragg will not discriminate against speech on the basis of its viewpoint.”

JD writes that the Billy Graham event did not receive the same clearance. “If the military is going to treat atheism as a religion, this is precisely the correct course of action. Every religion should be able to freely express its tenets in gatherings intended to be a fellowship of adherents. That’s the heart of religious freedom,” he writes.

Retired Navy Chaplain James Klingenschmitt told The Christian Post via email that when the Billy Graham event was held many atheists threatened lawsuits and that “Americans United for Separation of Church and State had (wrongly) argued that ‘An evangelistic rally jointly sponsored by U.S. military personnel and evangelical Christian churches and ministries violates the U.S. Constitution and must be cancelled.'”

He said that while freedom of speech is important, and “as a Christian chaplain I would defend any group’s freedom of assembly and worship,” the line is crossed when groups “denigrate their fellow soldiers’ religion, which violates the rules of good order and discipline.”

The event is open to the public, and in addition to live music, prominent atheist Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, will be speaking.

Federal Judge: Children must get access to explicit web-sites in school

March 15, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

HOT PETITION! Stop Sen. Al Franken from homosexualizing public school classrooms. Stop mandatory pro-homosexual lectures to kids. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress (saving you time!) to oppose and filibuster S.555 + H.R. 998 the “Homosexual Classrooms Act” aka Student Non-Discrimination.

Federal Judge: Children must get access to explicit web-sites in school

The Washington Times confirms Democrats #1 education priority is to homosexualize children in the classroom, by passing Senator Al Franken’s S. 555 and H.R. 998.

The bills “would be more appropriately titled the ‘GLBT Student Promotion Act,’ ” says the top lawyer for Concerned Women for America, Mario Diaz. “The aim of the legislation is not the protection of students. SNDA is a Trojan horse with the objective of promoting acceptance of GLBT behavior by eradicating deeply held [Christian] beliefs that proponents view as ‘homophobic.’ ”

Pro-homosexual Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants to re-write the Democrat National Committee platform to force homosexual ‘marriage’ in all 50 states, saying the issues should be put on the platform because “I think it’s basically who we are.”

President Obama wants homosexual ‘marriage’ but fears losing Christian votes. Obama openly supports the “Homosexual Classrooms Act” with allies like Sen. Al Franken (author of S.555) and openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (author of H.R.998). With Obama’s help now 38 Senators and 157 Reps. (195 Democrats total) publicly support turning our kids over to homosexual re-education.

In a shocking court ruling this week, a federal judge in Missouri ruled that school children must be given access to sexually explicit web-sites in school. The Judge agreed with ACLU lawyers that a school district’s custom filtering system “systematically allows access to websites expressing a negative viewpoint toward LGBT individuals by categorizing them as ‘religion,’ but filters out positive viewpoints toward LGBT issues by categorizing them as ‘sexuality.'” So the judge now blocks religious sites, to favor sex sites in school?

But thank God, Americans like the pro-family StopSB48.com group in California are fighting for the rights of Christian children in public schools. California law (SB 48) recently forced all public school textbooks to promote homosexuality to kids in school. But Christians in California are petitioning again to overturn that law.

If we lose the battle to stop S. 555 or H.R. 998, we will lose our kids in all 50 states. Homosexuals will have full control of classrooms, and kids. Let’s demand Congress stop Sen. Al Franken in his tracks, right now.

SELECT HERE TO SIGN PETITION, and we will instantly fax all 535 Congressmen and Senators (saving you much time!) to stop Sen. Al Franken’s “Homosexual Classrooms Act” and OPPOSE AND FILIBUSTER S.555 + H.R. 998 aka Student Non-Discrimination.

Al Franken gets more votes to Homose xualize Kindergarten Kids nationwide

Last month California became the first state to mandate all public schools, teachers, and textbooks must teach and promote “Gay History” lessons to kids. The bill passed last July went into effect in January 2012. Proud of their victory, homosexual activists are skipping state by state votes, and now plan to force their message on kids in all 50 states.

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has gained 5 Representatives and 2 Senators since last week, now with 155 House co-sponsors and 36 Senators supporting two truly demonic bills, S. 555 and H.R. 998. These bills violate public school children in all 50 states by requiring mandatory pro-homosexual lectures to kids of all ages (including kindergarten and 1st grade). Schools that decline will lose funding. Franken is gaining steam! We cannot let him win this battle for the hearts and minds of our kids.

We must win the fax war to petition Congress. If the church is silent, and homose xuals petition more than we, Congress may cave to their demands. We can’t let their side win!

Many Christians in California thought they would be able to “opt out” their children from pro-homosexual lectures, but sadly, because the lessons were considered “social science” and not “health education,” students were given no choice but to attend. Even worse, children who voice anti-homosexual views are labeled ‘bullies’ and can be punished (by grown-ups who bully kids into rejecting their parents’ faith.)

Religious Freedom is also under attack from the left. James Madison, a father of our Constitution, referred to the right of conscience as “the most sacred of all property.” Our kids will lose any right to their own conscience, if S.555 or H.R. 998 are passed. Christian kids will be punished, and publicly ridiculed by pro-homosexual teachers. This persecution will not only be legal, it will be required by law.

Bottom Line: If these bills make to Obama’s desk, they will effectively end First Amendment rights for our children, and “re-educate” kids to accept homosexuality starting in kindergarten. Kids will be encourged to find their “sexuality” in the 1st grade. If your child is approached by a pervert they could be punished if they respond in a “mean way.”

Let’s take a stand, to protect our kids from Al Franken’s abuse.

Al Franken: Minnesota should homose xualize marriage; all 50 states to re-educate kids.

Senator Al Franken (D-MN) made a video this week demanding Minnesota legalize homosexual ‘marriage’ and vote against a ballot initiative that would define Minnesota marriage as only between one man and one woman, this November. North Carolina will also decide in a similar vote this fall.

The controversial Senator is also the driving force behind S. 555 and H.R. 998 which would “re-educate” elementary school children in all 50 states to accept homosexual sin as normal, against the teaching of their parents’ faith. Both these bills are an attempt to give homosexuals and perverts protected status, and mandate pro-homosexual recruiting of kids in public schools (or else the school loses funding).

If either of these bills find their way to President Obama’s desk, make no mistake, Obama will sign them into law, forcing America’s children to be exposed to pro-homosexual ideas as early as kindergarten, and every year thereafter. These bills have 150+ co-sponsors.

The nagging question is, why? Why is Sen. Al Franken trying to force homosexuality onto your children? Remember that “all politics is local.” Franken needs homosexual money to get re-elected, and since most gays don’t tithe to churches, they will pay Franken’s campaign for re-election.

But thank God, both houses of the conservative Minnesota state legislature voted to let the people vote this fall, whether to ban ALL gay marriages in the state. Sen. Franken is trying to do an end run, around his own state legislature, by passing a federal law. Minnesota Christians have out-raised homosexuals in both money and volunteers, and right now traditional marriage shows a slight edge with 48% supporting “one man, one woman,” 44% against.

Liberals have already sued to try to force gay marriage in Minnesota. Labor unions and the NAACP are also funding homosexual marriage initiatives, despite opposition from many of their own constituents. Last week the President of the NAACP Ben Jealous said “LGBT and civil rights groups must unite and join forces for both movements to succeed.” Sadly, NAACP leaders have declared war on every Christian home in America.

Let’s protect kids in all 50 states, especially Minnesota, by demanding Congress oppose Al Franken’s “Homosexual Classrooms Act” and defeat S. 555 and H.R. 998.

Wash. Post mocks Christian hero opposing Al Franken’s Homosexual Classrooms Act

The Washington Post has run an opinion piece mocking the hero Christian Activist who is trying to stop Senator Al Franken (D-MN) from homosexualizing all public school children.

“Everyone’s favorite openly gay-hating Loudoun County supervisor, Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), was up to more of his hijinks last week with an e-mail appeal…to protect America from two bills in Congress that would prohibit discrimination against students based on their sexual orientation.

“The bills, Delgaudio wrote, would ‘require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts…force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual agenda…ram through their entire perverted vision for a homosexual America….create a new America based on sexual promiscuity.'”

Delgaudio is a lone voice crying in the wilderness, and he needs our support to oppose Senator Al Franken’s agenda to “Indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society. Their ultimate dream is to create a new America based on sexual promiscuity in which the values you and I cherish are long forgotten.”

Hero Delgaudio is leading the fight to stop H.R. 998 & S. 555, which already have 150 co-sponsors in the House, and 34 co-sponsors in the Senate, and still gaining support.

But villains like Sen. Al Franken are the main architects writing legislation to make it LAW that your children must be recruited by homosexual perverts in public schools.

Sen. Franken recently released a video in which he blames the high rate of suicide among homosexual teens on school bullying, by abusing these sad tragedies as his own propaganda tool. By spreading even more lies to more teens, Franken is ultimately causing more suicides.

Teen suicide is tragic enough without Senator Franken recruiting more kids into homosexuality, which causes depression, self-hatred, self-rejection and self-murder. The best way to stop teen suicide is to show confused teens there is hope and healing and forgiveness in Jesus Christ! Teens trapped in sin need Jesus, not liberal propaganda that promotes more sin and more depression.

But the bully Franken wants to de-fund any public school that won’t give his mandatory pro-homosexual lectures to kids, starting in kindergarten. If Franken wins, adult teachers will bully innocent kids into rejecting the traditional values of their parents. Your kids will not only be sexually “re-educated,” they’ll be told they can’t pray in school.

Franken’s plan will result in more teen suicides, not less. We must stop this! Let’s petition Congress to protect our children.

New State Law? Boys can use girls locker rooms. (Your state next).

In California a recently amended bill will soon allow boys to access the girl’s locker room, bathrooms as well to play and compete on girl’s sports teams.

Assembly Bill 266 has been amended to read: “A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, and facilities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.”

“The promoters of this legislation are exploiting children’s gender confusion with their proposal to let each student choose the bathroom and locker room were they most desire to be,” said Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute. “Does anybody really believe it is a good idea for either the troubled or the tempted to be told it is up to them to decide whether they should use the boy’s or the girl’s bathroom?”

While gay, lesbian, and preverts are pushing this onto elementry school kids in California, there are over 140 Congress men in DC trying to do the same thing in every school across America, both private and public. Senator Al Franken and Homosexual Congressman Jared Polis have introduced S.555 and H.R. 998 the “Homosexual Classrooms Act” aka Student Non-Discrimination.

The Obama Administration would make it legal for homosexuals to recruit your children starting in the first grade, with mandatory classroom lectures that normalize sin. Educators will be required to ask your children if they are straight or gay starting in the 1st grade, and they will be able to help each child find his or her “chosen” sexuality. At an age when most kids don’t even know what sex is, they will be forced to endure pro-homosexual propaganda. Schools that decline will lose their funding.

The Liberals are fighting this battle on every front. Assembly Bill 266 in California started out as a common bill about sports education two years ago. Yet by adding an amendment to a two year bill the legislation avoids many of the hearings and public input requirements and much of the expected public opposition this would generate.

This is also true in DC, where Homosexuals are trying to push pro-gay bills on elementary children very quietly and without spotlight or attention. Your petitions to Congress expose their evil, and deny them any stealth ability. YOU shine the light on their dark sinful deeds.

Senator Al Franken bullies kids with “Homose xual Classrooms Act.” Take action!

While Barney Frank (D-MA) is retiring (thank God), his replacement Senator Al Franken (D-MN) and openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) are pushing to attach the “Homosexual Classrooms Act” (aka Student Non-Discrimination) to recruit our kids.

According to LGBTQnation: “No Child Left Behind (2001), soon to be re-authorized after ten years in the updated Elementary and Secondary Education Re-Authorization 2011 (ESEA), made it out of committee in October 2011 without the bipartisan support it needed to include protection for LGBT students.

“When the ESEA is brought to the floor of the Senate in either December or January, there is a push to attach the Student Non-Discrimination Act, HR [998] (SNDA), to it.”

Christian activist Linda Harvey of Mission America warns “that such anti-bullying legislation is ‘using bullying prevention as a tool to force approval of homosexuality and gender bending on children, teachers and families.'”

Mandatory pro-homosexual recruiting lessons to grade-school children? Why?

71% of Americans oppose this bill. Then why do 148 Reps and 34 Senators Co-Sponsor these bills to make child abusing abomination federal law?

Al Franken’s bill is S. 555 and Jared Polis’ (the first openly gay man to be elected as a non-incumbent) bill is H.R. 998.

This legislation would make it not only legal for teachers to introduce to alternative and sexually perverse lifestyles, but in fact require them to introduce kids to homosexuality without parental consent.

This legislation would protect homosexual propositions and sexual advances as free speech. The legislation will EXEMPT homosexual students from any punishment if they initiate propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression.”

Any school that does not teach this pro-homosexual agenda will lose all federal funding.

What about private or religious schools? They would be forced too. Kevin Jennings, the President’s pro-homosexual “Safe Schools Czar,” stated that “every school, public, private or parochial has an obligation” to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum. Traditional values will be outlawed as “bigotry,” and speech by any Christian student will be silenced.

We need to fight this! If we don’t stand up and help put the fear of God into Congress, the Senate will attach this bill, and the President will sign it into law, very soon. Let’s petition.

Friends, our nation’s future depends upon whether we take a stand to protect children from pro-homosexual recruiters like Jared Polis and Al Franken. They’re recruiting public school kids aggressively now. Let’s take a stand today, and keep them out.

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt

Atheist Group Wants More Religious Diversity in US Military Chaplaincy

March 14, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

An atheist group says there is a religious diversity problem in the U.S. military. But a former Navy chaplain disagrees, saying that non-Christian chaplains are already statistically represented or even overrepresented in the military.

The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF) pointed to data it collected from chaplain offices of various branches of service and highlighted that the military chaplaincy is currently 98 percent Christian, 90 percent Protestant, and 66 percent “evangelistic” Christian. By comparison, the general military population is 70 percent Christian, 50 percent Protestant, and 19 percent “evangelistic” Christian, according to MAAF.

The atheist organization is calling this “mismatch in the diversity in the chaplaincy” a problem and asking the military to address it with aggressive training and recruitment initiatives.

But Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, a former Navy chaplain with a 16-year military career, told CP that this call for diversity is really an attempt by atheists to terminate Christian chaplains.

“If they had their way all chaplains would be fired. But the courts have decided our troops have a first amendment right to be accompanied by a chaplain who represents their faith, so the atheists must attempt another method,” he said.

Klingenschmitt also took issue with MAAF’s statistical argument, saying: “The facts are against them. Eighty-five percent of Americans self-identify as Christian, of which about one-third are Catholic, one-third liberal Protestant, and one-third Evangelical. These one-thirds represent, coincidentally, about the same percentages of chaplains in the military, so it’s already quite fair.”

Earlier this year, the Armed Forces Chaplains Board, with the input from the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces, updated regulations for potential military chaplain endorsers – something MAAF says is another barrier in creating diversity in the military.

The update includes a new provision prohibiting new endorsers from using a currently serving chaplain as their first chaplain candidate.

MAAF contends that this means that candidates for Wiccan, pagan, Hindu and humanist chaplains who have approached MAAF, and have been currently-serving as chaplains, would have been ineligible if this new barrier had been in place in earlier proceedings.

The atheist organization wants to see, among other things, the new chaplain restrictions removed and for the military to rescind all barriers to new chaplain endorsers.

Jason Torpy, president of the Military Association of Atheists & Freethinkers, told CP that “the point is not to have equal diversity. It’s to have equal treatment of diverse groups. The first step is education, or more specifically, acceptance.”

He said there should also be equality of opportunity, “not equality of outcome. The point is not for the chaplaincy to match exactly the demographics of the military, but for them at least to make opportunities equal and take action when leadership diversity falls so far out of step with the general population.”

MAAF also said that the new barrier against currently-serving chaplains goes even further. The collective effect is to limit diversity and in certain cases would cause a chaplain to lose their career not due to job performance but simply as a result of changing their beliefs.

But Klingenschmitt told CP that “the courts have already upheld the military policies that require chaplains be fired if they change religions. In fact I personally sued and lost that same argument, when I was honorably but involuntarily discharged for changing religions, from Evangelical Episcopal to Pentecostal.”

When he changed ecclesiastical endorsers, it started a process of “re-certification” which allowed the Navy to decline his application to remain on active duty.

He said that the bottom line on the issue is less than 1 percent of those in the military self-identify as Jewish or Muslim or Hindu, and less than 1 percent self-identify as atheist.

“At least 3 percent of chaplains are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist, so they’re already over-represented. And the atheists cannot qualify to become chaplains, since they cannot obtain fully-accredited master’s degrees in their non-religion,” said Klingenschmitt. “There are no atheist seminaries. That’s why atheists and agnostics can freely obtain secular counseling from military psychologists, since by definition they don’t want religious counseling or services.”

Whistleblower: 87,000 fraudulent claims by Planned Parenthood, $1 Billion lawsuit

March 13, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

SIGN PRO-LIFE PETITION. Help Congress defund ALL child-killing abortions, period. Select, sign, we will fax all 535 Congressmen and Senators (saving you much time!) We’ve already delivered 81,000 fax petitions, can you help us reach 100,000?

Whistleblower: 87,000 fraudulent claims by Planned Parenthood, $1 Billion lawsuit.

America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, is facing up to 87,000 charges of Medicaid fraud, in a new lawsuit in which they could potentially be fined $1 Billion dollars for conducting illegal tax-payer funded abortions.

WND.com reports: “A lawsuit alleging that Planned Parenthood submitted more than 87,000 fraudulent claims – and pointing out that there could be an $11,000-plus penalty for each case – has been unveiled in a Texas dispute by attorneys representing former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson…

“The case was filed originally under a federal law that allows ‘whistleblowers’ with inside information to expose fraudulent billing by government contractors. By law, the cases are filed under seal and may not be made public while state and federal governments decide whether to join the action…

“Johnson [pictured above] is the former director of the Planned Parenthood business in Bryan/College Station. She is bringing the claims against Planned Parenthood under the Federal False Claims Act and the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act.

“She fled the abortion business after she was summoned to help with an abortion and watched on a monitor as the unborn child fought for his life, and then died.

“The claim is that Planned Parenthood knowingly committed Medicaid fraud from 2007 to 2009 by improperly seeking reimbursements from the Texas Women’s Health Program for billings that were not legally reimbursable by that program.

“Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas, now called Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, according to the lawsuit, ‘filed at least 87,075 false, fraudulent, or ineligible claims with the Texas Women’s Health Program.'”

[Chaps’ Comment: This is the problem with socialized, government medicine. FRAUD. The child-killing welfare billers have no problem exterminating the children of poor people, then bilking us tax-payers in their shifty billing schemes. Sadly Democrats defend both the murderers and the fraud, while campaigning how conservatives hate women? Such liberals hate the poor AND women AND children AND tax-payers. We must demand Congress de-fund Planned Parenthood in all 50 states.]

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

Newt Gingrich: “I will pass Personhood legislation and defund Planned Parenthood.”

Former Speaker and Presidential Front-Runner Newt Gingrich just released a pro-life statement, vowing if elected to signs executive orders on his first day as President, to stop tax-funded abortions overseas, stop killing human embryos for experiments, and work with Congress to define “person” as including preborn children and defund Planned P-hood.

Here are key excerpts from Newt Gingrich’s letter, as published by LifeNews.com:

“Thank you for bearing witness today to the incomparable dignity of every human life, born and unborn. And thank you for your commitment to change hearts and minds and laws in defense of the unborn.

“I join you in this commitment…

“The words of the Declaration of Independence are in fact true, that all are created with unalienable rights, including the unborn…

“The truth that every person is created equal in the eyes of God, with equal value and worth and equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit his or her own future and destiny, is at the root of our system of law and government. Americans know this, and slowly but surely they are coming to terms with the irreconcilable reality of legalized abortion in our nation…

“My commitment to you is twofold: first, to continue supporting your work to defend the rights of the unborn, and second, if elected President, to advance pro-life legislation, appoint judges who will stay true to the meaning of the Constitution, work to bring about an end to judicial tyranny, defend religious freedom, and work with allies in Congress and throughout the country who desire to bring about a day in which America restores legal protection to all unborn human life.

“Specifically, on day one of my administration, I will sign an executive order reinstating Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City policy that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions overseas.

“I will also oppose federal funding of any research that destroys a human embryo.

“I will work with Congress to repeal Obamacare, and will defund Planned Parenthood so that no taxpayer dollars are being used to fund abortions– but rather use that money to promote adoption and other pro-family policies.

“I will also support Congress enacting pro-life legislation that would grant protections under the 14th Amendment to the unborn, including legislation that would define personhood as beginning at conception….

“Together, let us continue to work for the day when there will be no abortions for any reason, and that every unborn child will be welcomed into life and protected by law — from conception until natural death. May God bless each of you in your efforts to bring about this day. Thank You.” //signed// — Newt Gingrich

[Chaps’ comment: Wow. This sounds like a strong commitment. Let’s demand Congress take at least this much action, and start by defunding Planned Parenthood NOW.]

2012: The Year We Stop Tax-Funded Abortions? Planned Parenthood Breaks Bank

I pledge to work hard in 2012 to stop tax-funded abortions. Do you? All intentional abortions are child-murder, but the tax-funded kind is government sponsored genocide.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Obamacare to Fine Religious Groups $2000 Per Employee

Let Us Pray. Almighty God, in accordance with Ephesians 5:11 we pray You expose the evil deeds of darkness in the Obamacare mandate that now requires religious groups to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs for their employees.

God give wisdom to Christian lawyers who are challenging this mandate and grant a reversal and protection for religious organizations that oppose this mandate, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Netanyahu's Speech on Iran

March 7, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

HOT PETITION! Sign to support PRO-ISRAEL H.Res. 297 and 271 which defends Israel’s right to defend her borders, and rejecting President Obama’s call for a return to the indefensible 1967 borders. We will auto-fax 535 Congressmen/Senators. We’ve already delivered 337,000 petitions for Israel. Can you help us reach 350,000?

Netanyahu’s Speech on Iran

Friends, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave perhaps the most important speech I’ve ever heard in the defense of Israel yesterday, at the AIPAC meeting. It’s not a very long speech, but it’s critical we all understand how to best help Israel, in light of President Obama’s weak and feigned support, and Obama’s call for patient understanding of why Iran must better explain why they need “peaceful” nuclear weapons. (Who is Obama kidding?) Please take time today, to watch this entirely:

Please watch Netanyahu’s speech at this youtube link and then let’s take action. We must FLOOD CONGRESS WITH PETITIONS TO DEFEND ISRAEL, right now. Please sign again if you haven’t in a while, by selecting here…

12 proofs Iran is planning to attack Israel (with Nukes if USA allows it.)

While liberals think Iran wants only ‘peaceful’ nuclear weapons, an excellent op-ed reminds us: “Ayatollah Khomeini, prior to his death, declared that the Jews deserved ‘divine retribution’ because they are the ’embodiment of filth.’ Making his intentions clear, he stated: ‘We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land (Iran) burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.’ The Mutually Assured Destruction theory, which characterized Cold War deterrence, doesn’t work with a death cult regime.”

I rarely forward others’ emails as is. But the prayer alert below from Capitol Hill Prayer Partners gave so much information (12 prayers in 1 alert) about Iran’s current plans to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons, that I felt led by God to forward this, as is.

1. SENATE RESOLUTION WOULD RULE OUT CONTAINING NUCLEAR IRAN

A bipartisan group of senators–Bob Casey (D-Penn.), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.)–are circulating a draft resolution that would rule out the United States adopting a strategy of containment should Iran acquire nuclear weapons. “The attached bi-partisan resolution will put the Senate on record . . . It “will send a clear message to Iran’s rulers that the United States is absolutely determined to stop them from getting nuclear weapons.”

The resolution comes after President Obama said Sunday that while the United States is prepared to take military action should that become necessary, he still hopes to resolve the Iran nuclear crisis through diplomacy and tough new economic sanctions on Iran that the United States and Europe have recently passed. “The only way over the long term we can be assured that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon is by getting them to understand that it’s not in their interest,” Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer in an interview Sunday.

– Father, as these diplomatic efforts continue with Iran, help our leaders to consider the time factor. The longer we dialogue with Iran – they continue building their arsenal. Give a clear and direct plan of action in our dealings with Iran. Reveal hidden information that would help to solve this conflict.

– I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth. (Proverbs 8: 12,15-16)

2. IRAN-HAMAS SUMMIT RENEWS JOINT AIM TO ELIMINATE ISRAEL

Khamenei pledges Iranian support to Palestinian ‘resistance’ against Israel

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh that Iran would always stand by the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel and warned him against “compromisers.” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his part said it was Iran’s “duty” to stand by the Palestinians.

The hardline remarks come as Iran watches with concern attempts by Hamas to move closer to wealthy Gulf Arab states. Widened support for Hamas in the Arab world may come with demands that the Islamist movements moderate and not embarrass its new patrons. (AP) Read more.

3. IRAN TO UNVEIL “GREAT NUCLEAR ACHIEVEMENTS”

Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says “great” nuclear achievements will be announced in the next few days. He did not give any details, but insisted that Iran would never halt its programme to enrich uranium, which can be used to make a nuclear warhead. Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking at a rally in Tehran as Iranians marked the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution. He also promised that Iran would never yield to the West if it continued to use “the language of force and insult”. In a speech broadcast on state television, Mr Ahmadinejad told a large crowd in Tehran’s Azadi Square that “all needs of the Iranian nation” would be met by its nuclear scientists in the near future. “God willing, the world will witness the inauguration of great achievements in the nuclear sphere in a few days,” he added. Talks between Iran and six world powers – the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China – on the nuclear programme collapsed a year ago and show little sign of resuming, despite recent efforts to restart them by Turkey.

4. RUSSIA TO LASH ISRAEL FOR WAR RHETORIC AGAINST IRAN

Russia, China, Syria, Iran (New Axis) vs USA, Israel, England, France ( Allies forever)

The Russian foreign ministry rapped the Zionist regime for its war rhetoric against Iran, and cautioned that the approach will increase tensions and have dire consequences. On Wednesday, Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of Security and Disarmament Department at Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, denounced government’s hawkish rhetoric on Iran over its nuclear program and lashed out at Israel for inventing allegations that are raising the tension in the already tense Middle East. Russia warned such “fabrications” could encourage military solutions and could end up with catastrophic consequences.

The US and its close ally Israel have recently intensified their war rhetoric against Iran. The two arch enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran accuse Tehran government of seeking to build nuclear arsenal, while they have never presented any corroborative document to substantiate their allegations.

Iran vehemently denies the charges, insisting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. The Tehran government points out that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry. Iran has, in return, warned that it would target Israel and its worldwide interests in case it comes under attack by Tel Aviv in self-defense purposes.

Iran is challenging the US and Israel’s war calls on every turn, attempting to show their defence industry is more than capable to thwart any kind of military operation launched against Iran. Iran has warned that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, it will target 32 American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is strategically and logistically a key point as an estimated 40 % of the world’s oil supply passes through the important waterway. (Rapture Ready News; National Turk)

[Editor’s note: We are copying the language in this text, as given on their site.]

– Lord, as the nations of the world line up to support or to come against the nation of Iran, we ask that events would unfold now only in your perfect timing. World War III certainly seems to be on the horizon, but only You, Father God, know the timing, and the sequence of events that must occur for Scripture to be fulfilled. Our hearts cry out to You for the unsaved in the Middle East, that You would in Your sovereign grace, break through to the hearts of multitudes — who are now in the valley of decision — to come to know You as their Savior, Lord and Messiah. Come, Lord Jesus, come . . .in Your Name, amen.

– “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:14)

Diplomats stationed in Israel request gas masks, prepare contingency plans in case of missile attacks; envoys fear that thousands of dual-citizenship Israelis will seek evacuation Preparing for Iran strike? Foreign embassies in Israel have recently started to formulate contingency plans to evacuate their citizens from the Jewish State in case of a missile attack on Israel.

Senior officials in Jerusalem said that several diplomatic missions have shown great interest in preparing for various emergency situations, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday, [February 7]. In the framework of the preparations for possible fallout in case of an Israeli strike on Iran, foreign diplomats stationed in Israel requested that the Foreign Ministry equip them and their family members with gas masks.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry has provided foreign embassies in Israel with a list of public bomb shelters across the country, as well as an instructional pamphlet in English produced by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] . . . (Ynetnews.com)

Plan to “Counter Iranophobia”

An Iranian destroyer and a supply ship docked at the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah on Saturday, a stop on a mission described by the state-run FARS News Agency as showing-off “the power of the Islamic republic on the open seas and to confront Iranophobia.”

The Iranian naval commander was quoted as saying the mission would last up to 80 days but did not list any other ports the ships will be visiting. The high-profile visit belies the ongoing friction between Tehran and Riyadh. The Saudis are frequently portrayed as siding with the American-led opposition to Iran.

Iranian leadership was angered by the Saudi pledge to make up for any oil shortfalls caused by international sanctions on Iran. The US also accuses Tehran of being behind a 2011 plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington. (By The Media Line, February 6, 2012)

7. IRAN’S UN ENVOY: “I DON’T THINK ISRAEL WILL ATTACK”

“We hear some voices from the Israeli regime about attacking Iran, but I don’t think that is going to happen, because first of all, Iran is (strong enough) to defend itself,” said Tehran’s ambassador to the United Nations. Speaking to National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” on Thursday [Feb 9], Mohammed Khazaee said, “The consequence (of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities) would be devastating for them (Israel) and maybe for whoever helped them. So I do not believe that such a thing is going to happen. “Our strategy is not to initiate any strike against anybody. But if, God forbidden, someone wants to try any strike against Iran or Iranian nuclear facility or Iranian national interests and security, of course, (Iran) – like any other nation – will have the right to defend (itself),” he told NPR.

The ambassador denied any link between Israel’s threats and Tehran’s willingness to conduct negotiations over its nuclear program with the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany.

In response to NPR’s question regarding a speech delivered by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which he referred to Israel as a cancerous tumor, Khazaee said, “Just to refresh the memory of your audiences, I believe that if they listened to the Israeli authorities, you will find out that almost every day they threat Iran [sic] for attacking Iran, bombing Iran and doing so. So they’re not in a position to talk about a civilized nation like Iran. “And also, you know, as long as the damage that we receive in the region from the Israelis – either nuclear program or killing people in Palestine and so on – they could be considered a cancer in the region,” he said. The UN envoy added that “war is not something that [Iran is] looking for. And any confrontation between Iran and other countries in the region would be harmful for everybody.” (Ynetnews) [Reported by: Bridges for Peace]

– Through all the words and discussions of countries and political regimes, pray that the leaders of Israel speak with wisdom and seek the guidance of the Lord before they act. Pray that Israel’s leadership will follow the path that God has for them and no other.

8. HEZBOLLAH CHIEF BOASTS OF IRAN MILITARY SUPPORT

Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday acknowledged for the first time that his party was solely funded and equipped by Iran and denied allegations the group was involved in the drug trade or money laundering. “We have been receiving since 1982 all kinds of moral, political and material backing from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Nasrallah boasted in a television address on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of Mohammed. His statement marked the first time he has openly admitted the source of the military and financial backing for his party. (Agence France Press) Read more.

– This statement verifies what we have heard all along: that Iran is, indeed, arming Hezbollah at Israel’s northern border with Iran. Decree that all of these weapons, when launched, will misfire and be of no effect. Stand by Israel in prayer.

– “He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.” (Job 5:12)

Gunmen assassinated an army general in Damascus on Saturday in the first killing of a high ranking military officer in the Syrian capital since the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime began in March, the state-run news agency said.

The attack is a sign that violence in Syria is reaching the tightly controlled capital, which has been relatively quiet compared to other cities. Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility, it could also indicate that rebel soldiers who have risen up in numerous cities and towns are trying to step up action in Damascus.

Violence in other parts of the country left at least 11 people dead as regime troops pushed into rebel-held neighborhoods in the restive central city of Homs and shelled the mountain town of Zabadani, north of Damascus.

The U.N. estimates that 5,400 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began in March. But that figure is from January, when the U.N. stopped counting because the chaos in the country has made it all but impossible to check the figures. Hundreds are reported to have been killed since.

10. SYRIA: IRAN’S ELITE QUDS FORCE “ADVISING ASSAD REGIME”

The head of Iran’s elite Quds force is reportedly visiting Syria to advise the regime on repressing protests and the armed resistance, as consternation grew in Western capitals on Thursday about Iranian and Russian meddling in the crisis. The Quds, or Jerusalem, brigade, is a special unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for external relations that reports directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Western and Arab experts and diplomats estimate that the number of troops and advisers from the Quds force in Syria to be in the high hundreds or low thousands. They have set up at least one base in Zabadani near the capital Damascus.

Help includes riot control equipment and technical advice on “how to quash dissent and how to flood areas with security forces.” Iran is also said to be providing support to improve the regime’s intelligence gathering and monitoring of protesters’ use of the internet and mobile phone network, including text messaging.

Opposition fighters of the Free Syrian Army claim to have captured 29 Iranians during the uprising and last week posted a video of five captives with their passports. Reports in the Arab media have claimed that snipers from Iranian-backed Hizbollah forces have been brought in from Lebanon to support government forces fighting the FSA.

The rebels yesterday appealed for the United States to supply weapons, rocket launchers, body armour, night vision goggles and other equipment, but not boots on the ground. One spokesman stated: “The major point is logistical material support. We can do this ourselves, we’re not asking for any troops,” he said. (UK Daily Telegraph) Read more.

– Father, deploy an angelic army from heaven to surround the area in and around Damascus and render the enemy powerless. Bashar al-Assad has the spirit of Hazael as mentioned in II Kings 8:12. Elisha the prophet wept because God showed him Hazael was to be king and all the evil that he would do. And today the spirit of Hazael is over Syria and because of this insight, we declare in God this spirit will be destroyed by the power of the Word of God.

Speak destruction to that spirit, oh God, and command it to go back into the pit from whence it came. Send forth a mighty host of angels and drive out all the nations who are haphazardly dealing with Syria. Send forth Jesus, the redeemer, and save the souls of the Syrians by the power of the blood and Cross of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus.

– “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17)

11. U.S. BEGINS PLANS FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION IN SYRIA

Other Nations Withdraw Ambassadors from Damascus

Pentagon officials have said contingency planning for US military involvement in Syria had begun.

Leaders in the US, Britain and France have supported the creation of a “Friends of Syria” group that would coordinate applying diplomatic and economic pressure on Bashar al-Assad’s regimes outside the confines of the UN. Turkey, the most vocal regional critic of its neighbour, has proposed hosting a conference to build an “international platform” against Syria.

Britain and several other European states have temporarily withdrawn their ambassadors to Syria, while Germany yesterday expelled four members of the Syrian embassy in Berlin for spying on regime opponents. (UK Daily Telegraph) Read more.

12. INTERNATIONAL “MILITARISATION” IN SYRIA GROWING CLOSER, WARNS U.S. OFFICIAL

The international community may be forced to ‘militarise’ the crisis in Syria unless president Bashar al-Assad stops the onsalught on his people, a senior US official warned on Wednesday.

The official from the State Department told The Daily Telegraph that while the White House wants to exhaust all its diplomatic options, the debate in Washington has shifted away from diplomacy and towards more robust action since Russia and China blocked a United Nations resolution condemning Syria.

The Pentagon’s Central Command has begun a preliminary internal review of US military capabilities in the region, which one senior official called a “scoping exercise” that would provide options for the president if and when they were requested.

The White House said it was talking to allies about holding a “Friends of Syria” meeting in the near future and was considering delivering humanitarian aid to affected areas in the country.

“We are, of course, looking at humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people, and we have for some time. We’re consulting with our international partners, and we anticipate this being one of the focuses of the discussions that we’ll have,” said Jay Carney, the White House press secretary.

– God, there is a patchwork of great deception here which creates mass confusion with no answers. Father, we ask that Your power surround the whole country of Syria and the people. God, set your eyes upon Bashar al-Assad and deal with his soul’s salvation. Bind the forces of evil moving through this man by the power of the blood of Jesus and hold him back from destroying all of Syria. Pull him down from his position and render him powerless and replace him with a man who will listen to the dictates of the Lord God of heaven and save the Syrian people before they are ravaged, killed and starve to death.

God is the answer for Syria. Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ will redeem this people and this country. May the works of the Lord that has now commenced moving over them strike fear in the hearts of all the nations who are dawdling over finding a sound conclusion to help these people. Move mightily, Lord, and save all the Syrian people. In the Name of Jesus.

– “God sent His Word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” (Psalm 107:20, 28, 29)

New lawsuit can force Kagan to recuse Obamacare, White House to release secret docs

March 6, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

HOT PETITION! Ask Congress to impeach Justice Elena Kagan if she refuses to recuse herself from hearing the Obamacare case NFIB v. Sebelius. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress (saving you time!) We’ve already sent 96,000 fax petitions. Can you help us reach 100,000?

New lawsuit can force Kagan to recuse Obamacare, White House to release secret docs

Yet another public service lawfirm, Judicial Watch, has filed an important Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit to force the White House to release its secret documents, that prove Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan cannot remain unbiased when considering an Obamacare case in a few weeks.

The new lawsuit argues the Obama Administration continues to stonewall Congressional subpoenas for documents, and has now violated federal law by withholding public records to which public citizens are also entitled under the FOIA law.

“E-mails that previously were obtained by the organization suggest Kagan and her staff in the White House ‘may have participated in discussions pertaining to the legal defense of Obamacare,’ Judicial Watch told WND.com.

“Other records show then-Solicitor General Kagan commenting excitedly on the passage of Obamacare,” Judicial Watch reported.

“This is no time for the Obama administration to stonewall and obfuscate,” said Tom Fitton, the chief of Judicial Watch. “We hope the court will force the Obama administration to respond to our request in a manner consistent with federal law.”

He said, “The American people deserve to know how deeply involved Elena Kagan and her top deputies were in shaping the Obama administration’s legal defense of Obamacare. The integrity of the courts requires a full airing of those facts before she participates in ruling on a matter she may have helped prepare for litigation. There is more information at the Justice Department but clearly Eric Holder intends to run out the clock.”

Meanwhile the Supreme Court has ignored a motion to re-consider forcing Kagan’s recusal filed by our lawyer friend Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, according to WND.com.

I leapt out in faith and spent $30,000 over 3 months on this campaign (but recovered only $18K), renting big email lists reaching millions of patriots (seriously I’m losing my shirt, so please donate here), but our emails have gone viral and we’ve already faxed 96,000 petitions to Washington DC. We buried in fax paper all 535 Senators, Congressmen, (and the Supreme Court too) demanding the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. Let’s reach 100,000 today. It’s a team effort, and I’m grateful for your help.

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!)

Breaking: Supreme Court rejects demand for Kagan to recuse Obamacare

CNN reports “The Supreme Court has turned aside a motion from a political advocacy group that sought to argue that Justice Elena Kagan should not participate in the upcoming blockbuster appeals over the constitutionality of health care reform [aka Obamacare.]

“The justices denied the request from Freedom Watch without comment [last month]. Kagan herself did not get involved in this particular motion.

“The court’s brief order all but assures that the newest justice will participate in the late March arguments and eventually rule on the cases’ merits. Similar calls for recusal from other groups have been directed at Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Larry Klayman, head of Freedom Watch, wanted to argue the recusal issue himself as part of the three days of public oral arguments scheduled for March 26-28. There, lawyers for the Obama administration and a coalition of 26 states and private groups will separately plead their case on the health care law’s legal limits.

“Klayman said that while the argument request was denied, he still thinks Kagan should pull out of the debate. ‘The justices work for us, and the Supreme Court is the people’s court, not the justices’ court,’ he said. ‘I hope that they will sober up and do the right thing and disqualify Justice Kagan from sitting on the Obamacare case, as she has a textbook conflict of interest given her involvement in the drafting of, and supporting, the legislation, while she was an official of the Obama administration at the Department of Justice.'”

[Chaps comment: Today’s ruling is yet another example of Washington corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. Supreme Court, as Justice Kagan [pictured right–>] flagrantly thumbs her nose at the law she swore to uphold. Four U.S. Senators agree with me, saying: “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 Senators’ letter said.]

We must continue to demand Kagan’s impeachment, and full hearings on her corruption.

Chief Justice Roberts: Stop Asking Kagan to Recuse Obamacare.

Your faxes have been noticed by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. After YOU helped fax over 83,000 petitions to Congress (with copies directly to the Supreme Court) demanding Justice Elena Kagan recuse herself from hearing the Obamacare case, Chief Justice Roberts came to Kagan’s aid by writing a letter defending the Court’s integrity.

Roberts wrote in his “end of year” report that we shouldn’t worry about Kagan’s bias, despite the fact she helped write, defend, and lobbied to pass Obamacare:

“I have complete confidence in the capability of my colleagues to determine when recusal is warranted,” Roberts wrote. “They are [Kagan is] jurists of exceptional integrity and experience whose character and fitness have been examined through a rigorous appointment and confirmation process.”

“The Supreme Court does not sit in judgment of one of its own members’ decision whether to recuse in the course of deciding a case. [Roberts won’t rebuke Kagan.] Indeed, if the Supreme Court reviewed those decisions, it would create an undesirable situation in which the court could affect the outcome of a case by selecting who among its members may participate.”

“If an appeals court or district court judge withdraws from a case, there is another federal judge who can serve in that recused judge’s place. But the Supreme Court consists of nine members who always sit together, and if a justice withdraws from a case, the court must sit without its full membership.”

“A justice accordingly cannot withdraw from a case as a matter of convenience or simply to avoid controversy. Rather, each justice has an obligation to the Court to be sure of the need to recuse before deciding to withdraw from a case.”

So Roberts won’t step in to tell Kagan to recuse herself. What do you think? I think we’re getting their attention. If Roberts won’t oversee Kagan, the U.S. Congress must.

Should Justice Kagan be trusted to “not recuse” herself, or impeached by Congress?

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,

"Shock and Awe": More proof YOU are waking the church vote before Super Tuesday.

March 1, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Despite narrow loss in Michigan, Santorum still rising in Ohio with to Christian pastors

As if we needed more proof of the power of the Church vote, the polls now show YOU are making a big difference in the GOP primary race, with stunning results after we faxed free voter guides to 29,000+ pastors. Read our free voter guides here, and then please donate to help us educate thousands more pastors here, before Super Tuesday next week.

For example, look at the change YOU made in evangelical voters minds in Michigan, where Rick Santorum rose from 5% and 25 points behind Mitt Romney one month ago (before our faxes to pastors), to 36% and a narrow 2 point loss this Tuesday (after our faxes to pastors). Again, I have not endorsed any candidate in this race, but our non-partisan voter guides woke the church vote, with a 31 point change since our faxes, according to RealClearPolitics.com:

Next week is Super Tuesday, when 10 important states will vote. We are already faxing our free voter guides to 29,000 pastors in those states, mobilizing potentially 290,000 adult Christian voters to rock the GOP race. LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OHIO, before and after your faxes to pastors, according to RealClearPolitics.com:

Notice before our voter guides were faxed to 4,231 Christian pastors across Ohio, Senator Santorum had only 9.5% of Ohio’s vote and trailed Mitt Romney by 14%. But Santorum now shows a solid 8-point lead over Romney, having risen 24 points to 34.3% of the vote.

Can anybody explain this rise, except that pastors are mobilizing church voters? (The exact same pastors to whom YOU helped fax our free voter guides?) YOU ROCK.

But we still need to raise about $1,000 this week, to complete our fax campaign to educate pastors in WA, AK, GA, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA, WY, KS. So please help wake the church vote before Super Tuesday. It’s not too late, but we’re out of time!

SELECT HERE TO DONATE TO OUR “FAX VOTER GUIDES TO CHURCHES” CAMPAIGN, TO EQUIP 29,000+ PASTORS AND 290,000+ CHRISTIAN VOTERS IN ALL 15 STATES VOTING AROUND SUPER-TUESDAY: AZ, MI, WA, AK, GA, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA, WY, KS.

In case nobody noticed, YOU made a shocking difference in the GOP primary race, since you helped us fax free voter guides to 13,000+ pastors in mid-January. To be fair,
I have not endorsed any candidates for office. But our non-partisan voter guides are shocking America by waking hundreds of thousands of church voters. Here’s proof:

Rick Santorum (who won our straw poll last month) is now up from 14.2% to 33.7% nationally, over the same five weeks since we started faxing free voter guides to pastors.

It’s also no coincidence that Santorum won Minnesota and Colorado, which states we specifically targeted for faxes to pastors 3 weeks before they voted (see charts far below).

Mitt Romney on the other hand (who came in last in our straw poll), has dropped slightly nationwide from 31.6% to 28.3%, especially after big losses in Minnesota and Colorado, where we faxed those same voter guides to thousands of pastors.

Does anybody doubt our strategy of faxing free voter guides to pastors is actually moving the polls nationwide? Look at the difference, in this chart from RealClearPolitics.com:

Does Mitt Romney really favor homosexual adoptions of kids? Pastors know the answer, because we partnered with SaveAmerica.com and Randy Thomasson to fax this free non-partisan voter guide to over 13,609 churches in SC, FL, NV, ME, CO, and MN.

Those faxes were delivered, and those primaries are over. Now we’re faxing 15 more states voting around Super Tuesday, to equip 29,000+ more churches to vote smart.

We have matching funds (your gifts are doubled!) but I must raise $1,000 this week just to finish our fax machine work, and we need $3,226 by Super Tuesday. We need your help to educate pastors and church voters.

Now Super Tuesday is upon us. 3 states vote the week before. 10 states vote on Tuesday March 6th. 2 more states vote the week after. We must wake the church in 15 states NOW. Our fax machines will start today, reaching 29,000+ more churches.

For 22 cents we can equip an entire church, so to fax 29K churches we need $6K+, but we have matching funds, so your gifts are doubled, thus I only need $3,226 to really swing the vote. Here’s how many churches we could reach now, if we had a donor for each state:

1,735 churches in Arizona (x 22 cents = $382 needed to equip church voters)
5,020 churches in Michigan (x 22 cents = $1,104 needed to equip church voters)
2,088 churches in Washington (x 22 cents = $459 needed to equip church voters)
45 churches in Alaska (x 22 cents = $10 needed to equip church voters)
3,780 churches in Georgia (x 22 cents = $832 needed to equip church voters)
466 churches in Idaho (x 22 cents = $103 needed to equip church voters)
1,923 churches in Massachusetts (x 22 cents = $423 needed to equip church voters)
262 churches in North Dakota (x 22 cents = $80 needed to equip church voters)
4,231 churches in Ohio (x 22 cents = $931 needed to equip church voters)
2,140 churches in Oklahoma (x 22 cents = $471 needed to equip church voters)
2,715 churches in Tennessee (x 22 cents = $597 needed to equip church voters)
112 churches in Vermont (x 22 cents = $25 needed to equip church voters)
3,362 churches in Virginia (x 22 cents = $740 needed to equip church voters)
198 churches in Wyoming (x 22 cents = $44 needed to equip church voters)
1,141 churches in Kansas (x 22 cents = $251 needed to equip church voters)

TOTAL: $6452 needed (but wait, we have matching funds) = $3226 needed.

If each church had 100 adult voters, that’s 290,000 votes YOU help swing,
from 29,218 faxable pastors and churches.

Please select here and donate to this critical voter-guide project today. Let’s wake the church to vote smart in this primary season! (And forward this email to your friends in the 15 states listed above.)

Folks, please explain, why did Rick Santorum come from behind in Colorado, from being down 14%, to a 5% win? Mitt Romney had a clear lead, one week before the caucuses, but the church voters woke up, after we faxed free voter guides to their pastors. Here’s proof YOU helped wake the Colorado church vote, from RealClearPolitics.com:

Again, please help me understand, why did Rick Santorum rise from a marginal 2% lead to a shocking 18% win in Minnesota? What could possibly explain this last-minute surge? Clearly the evangelical Christian voters were energized, by the same pastors who read our faxed voter guides. Here’s proof YOU made a difference, from RealClearPolitics.com:

Senate Vote on repeal of Obamacare's mandatory "Church-funded Abortions"

February 28, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

URGENT PETITION to REPEAL OBAMACARE, STOP ABORTION-FUNDING, END GOV’T TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress instantly (saving you much time!) We have already delivered 1.4 million fax petitions. Can you help us reach 1.5 million?

Senate Vote on repeal of Obamacare’s mandatory “Church-funded Abortions”

The U.S. Senate will vote this week on an amendment drafted by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) concerning whether to “partially repeal” the portion of Obamacare that requires churches, Catholic hospitals, and Christian universities to pay for their employees abortion insurance. In my opinion the new “conscience” language doesn’t go far enough, nor does it begin to repeal all Obamacare, so we must petition all 100 Senators to REPEAL OBAMACARE ENTIRELY this week, by calling 202-225-3121, or sign our petition here.

Our friend Ashley Horne with Focus on the Family reports: “The U.S. Senate will likely vote this week on an amendment to protect the religious freedom and conscience rights of employers who object to offering possible abortifacient drugs in employee health plans.

“Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., introduced the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (S.1467) last August, and recently offered the bill as an amendment to transportation legislation being debated this week. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had previously blocked the amendment from getting a vote.

“The Blunt amendment would exempt objecting employers from new regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services requiring them to offer free contraception in their insurance plans. Some contraceptive drugs, like Plan B and ella, may cause early abortions. Some employers, particularly religious ones, say they shouldn’t have to offer such drugs.

“‘(This debate) is not about contraception. It’s about the Constitution,’ Blunt wrote in an opinion piece published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sunday. ‘It’s about faith and who controls the religious views of faith-based institutions.’ ”

Let’s take action to demand Congress repeal ALL of Obamacare, not just “fix” it.

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.

Obama forces Christian Hospitals to issue Abortion Pills. Take Action!

Pro-life Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) said in October that “a regulation the Obama administration has proposed under the new health-care law enacted last year would require religious employers to provide their workers with abortifacients, which are drugs that kill an unborn child,” reports CNS News.

Hatch also said that Obamacare’s “threat to individual liberty was one of the most serious issues we’ve ever seen in the history of this Republic…This administration has imposed upon religious beliefs and religious employers provisions that literally would lead to having to give abortifacients, and it is very ambiguous on that point, and also other matters that many religious institutions are opposed to. And government shouldn’t be doing that.”

By imposing abortion on Christian hospitals, Obamacare causes “an erosion of First Amendment rights, especially religious rights,” said Hatch. “I don’t want to see us erode the rights of free people to believe the way they want to, and to worship the way they want to, and to support religious institutions the way they want to.”

Hatch delivered a speech to the Heritage Foundation entitled, “Why Obamacare is Harming, Not Helping, Our Health Care System and Our Economy,” in which he called the individual mandate of Obamacare “unconstitutional” and burdensome on citizens.

Hatch called for total repeal of Obamacare. He described the potential threat posed by the plan as “one of the most serious issues we’ve ever seen in the history of this Republic.”

H.R. 2 and H.R. 9 both directly repeal Obamacare and its funding, restoring religious liberty and protections for unborn children. Would you please sign our petition, and we will instantly fax up to 535 members of the House and Senate, (saving you much time?)

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.

Judge: Insulting Islam grounds for beating

February 28, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Judge Mark Martin is an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathon Turley. The incident, recorded on video, occurred on October 11, 2011 at the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Halloween parade. Ernie Perce, an atheist, was attacked by Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, because of the former’s costume.

Judge Martin threw out video evidence of the assault, dismissed the testimony of an eyewitness officer, and then lectured the atheist victim about the sensitivities of the Muslim culture. He stated in court that Elbayomy was obligated to attack the victim because of his culture and religion.

“They are so immersed in it,” he said. “And what you’ve done is you’ve completely trashed their essence, their being. They find it very, very, very offensive. I’m a Muslim. I find it offensive.”

Gordon Klingenschmitt is a former Navy chaplain who was forced out of the service for publicly praying in Jesus’ name while in uniform. He now runs “The Pray In Jesus Name Project” and says the judge is basically conveying the message that if you mock Muhammad, you deserve to get beaten.

“He freed the Muslim attacker and said basically it’s okay to choke atheists if they insult Islam,” he comments.

Klingenschmitt also finds it outrageous that Judge Martin told Perce that mocking Muhammad in Muslim countries is punishable by death.

“This is a different country. We live in America where we have a free society,” the former Navy chaplain points out. “And Christians have historically protected the rights of minorities to express their religious or anti-religious views.”

So he believes Martin should be removed from the bench, and Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel agrees. The latter tells OneNewsNow Judge Martin’s decision an indication of what may be coming if sharia is used in the U.S. court systems. (Listen to audio report)

“This particular judge actually had the audacity to rule in favor of the attacker, saying that the attacker was compelled to attack this individual because it was an insult to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad,” Staver reports.

And Diane Gramley, head of the American Family Association (AFA) of Pennsylvania, suggests that the judge’s religion “tainted” how he looks at the law.

“That definitely changes everything, because if he’s a Muslim convert, then that definitely has tainted his view of the law, and he is looking at sharia law and making his decision,” she offers. “You cannot look at a situation where a Muslim has physically harassed, physically attacked an atheist — granted the guy’s an atheist who’s in a parade; he’s dressed as a Muslim — but that’s not against the law.”

Staver finds the ruling to be almost unbelievable.

“This situation is one involving a judge that needs to be removed from the bench,” the attorney suggests. “He is clearly instituting sharia from the bench, using sharia law as a basis to ultimately acquit a person who actually committed an assault and a battery against an individual.”

Professor Turley also notes that another atheist, dressed as a zombie Pope, was marching beside the zombie Muhammad, but no outraged Catholics attacked him.

“If a Christian had been doing the harassing, I don’t believe the judge would have dismissed those charges,” Gramley contends. “I think in this case, Judge Martin is showing preference to the Muslim.”

Staver concludes that this is the type of case that has prompted several states, including Oklahoma, to work on legislation to prohibit courts from using sharia or foreign laws and court rulings as a basis for decisions in American courts. In Oklahoma’s case, however, the measure was overturned in federal court.
