Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 7 – 13 Mar 2010:
FREE PETITION — Personhood Colorado Campaign Goes Into Overtime.  Missouri~ Montana~ California next up to save babies.

Have you signed our free petition to end abortion in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ and California?  Sunday I stood outside the Denver Nuggets game collecting dozens of official signatures~ and I spoke at a church rally for Personhood Colorado~ where petition gatherers have gone into "overtime" to save unborn babies from extermination.   Colorado is one of 8 states with current ballot initiatives (and up to 30 other states are just beginning) to legally define the word "person" as including unborn children~ giving them equal rights (to simply be born) under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  Last month we turned in 79~648 signatures~ but 15~690 of them were rejected by the Colorado Secretary of State~ who extended our deadline by 15 days until March 18th to replace those with 15~000 new signers.  Can you help gather petitions?  

Even if you’re not in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ or Calif~ you can help!  We’re faxing thousands of pastors to get their churches involved~ and you can sponsor and equip scores of churches in those states to receive a free "personhood kit" to gather official petitions~ by donating just 29 cents per church – less than the cost of a postage-stamp.  Please sponsor 100 churches for a $29 gift.  We just spent hundreds of dollars faxing thousands of pastors in Florida~ Mississippi~ and Colorado.  Next up on our list are Missouri ($837 needed)~ Montana ($117 needed)~ and California ($2~612 needed)~ if we can just raise a few hundred dollars more~ we will fax thousands more pastors to equip their churches to gather official petitions to save real babies!  But first~ please at least sign our free petition to defend unborn babies as persons~ and tell 5 friends.


Please forward this email to friends in CO~ MO~ MT~ CA today!

Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 21 – 27 Mar 2010:
March 21st 2010: Stupak caves. Obama funds largest Abortion increase since ’73. 40-day Fast.

We lost a great battle today in the quest to stop funding abortion with our tax-dollars.  But I say thank you~ to all who joined our fax-campaign and sent nearly 1.4 million petitions to Congress to save the unborn.  Your voices are never in vain.  Ezekiel 3:19 declares~ "If you warn the wicked~ and he does not turn from his wickedness~ nor from his wicked way~ he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul."   Together we prophesied truth to power; their blood is not on our hands.  

Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his 12 so-called "pro-life" Dems caved in today~ and sold their souls to vote "pro-abortion" and fund child-killing on an unprecedented scale.  While Stupak boasted his district suddenly received over $700~000 for airport upgrades~ he also dared to claim victory after trading his vote for a phony executive order that President Obama knows cannot overrule his new "health" care law that funds abortion. Two Democrats both admitted the executive order is a sham~ that will not reduce abortion funds by even one penny.  The new abortion funds in the Senate bill~ which just passed with HR 4872 on a 219-212 vote~ "can’t be changed by executive order~ because an executive order can’t change the law~" admitted pro-abortion Democrat  Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) on Fox News. Retiring Democrat Marion Berry (D-AR)~ one of just a handful to courageously vote against the bill~ agreed:  "Despite the recently announced Executive Order addressing this issue~ I remain concerned that this legislation does not go far enough to satisfy my concerns. As a pro-life Member of Congress~ I believe that abortion is fundamentally wrong~ and taxpayer money should not be allowed to support it."  If only Stupak had such a conscience as Berry.

Obama’s proposed executive order contained two false statements:
1) "The Act maintains current Hyde Amendment restrictions governing abortion policy and extends those restrictions to the newly-created health insurance exchanges."  The new law does no such thing~ and never did~ or there would be no need for this misleading executive order~ that won’t stand up to any court challenge~ so abortions will be funded by law.
2) "Under the Act~ longstanding Federal laws to protect conscience (such as the Church Amendment~ 42 U.S.C.§300a-7~ and the Weldon Amendment~ Pub. L. No. 111-8~§508d-1) remain intact…prohibit[ing] discrimination against…health care providers because of an unwillingness to provide…abortions."  The National Right To Life Committee rebuked Obama’s false statement~ saying~ "Nor can the order correct the omission from the pending legislation of the necessary conscience-protection language … (the ‘Weldon language’)."
 
So no thanks to Bart Stupak~ who caved in like the traitor Benedict Arnold~ or Judas Iscariot for his 30 pieces of silver~ we must now all fast and pray God will change the government this November~ to oust ALL who voted for this bill~ and demand its full repeal. We thus declare a 40-day fast of repentance~ starting Tuesday~ and invite you to pray with many leaders~ and fast from something~ until our big prayer rally with Chaps~ Dobson~ Wildmon~ Sheets~ Jacobs~ Staver~ Scarborough~ Porter~ etc. at the Lincoln Memorial on May 1st~ 2010~ details here:

Retired General: Homosexuals Weakened Dutch Army in Bosnia
 
Let Us Pray.  Almighty God~ thank you for retired NATO commander General John Sheehan~ who had the guts to speak the truth to the Senate Armed Services Committee~ about how the Dutch army collapsed in Bosnia~ in part because they allowed open homosexuality in the military.  Although Senator Carl Levin scoffed at Sheehan’s war-time experience~ Levin only proved again that Jude 1:18 is true~ that in the last days there will be scoffers who will follow after ungodly lusts. God help our Congress preserve “Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell~” and defend our troops against open homosexual aggression~ in Jesus name~ Amen.

Please convict Choi and the other officer of their sin and bring them to repentance~ keeping open sin out of our military~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

Have you signed our free petition to end abortion in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ and California?  Sunday I stood outside the Denver Nuggets game collecting dozens of official signatures~ and I spoke at a church rally for Personhood Colorado~ where petition gatherers have gone into "overtime" to save unborn babies from extermination.   Colorado is one of 8 states with current ballot initiatives (and up to 30 other states are just beginning) to legally define the word "person" as including unborn children~ giving them equal rights (to simply be born) under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  Last month we turned in 79~648 signatures~ but 15~690 of them were rejected by the Colorado Secretary of State~ who extended our deadline by 15 days until March 18th to replace those with 15~000 new signers.  Can you help gather petitions?  

Even if you’re not in Colorado~ Missouri~ Montana~ or Calif~ you can help!  We’re faxing thousands of pastors to get their churches involved~ and you can sponsor and equip scores of churches in those states to receive a free "personhood kit" to gather official petitions~ by donating just 29 cents per church – less than the cost of a postage-stamp.  Please sponsor 100 churches for a $29 gift.  We just spent hundreds of dollars faxing thousands of pastors in Florida~ Mississippi~ and Colorado.  Next up on our list are Missouri ($837 needed)~ Montana ($117 needed)~ and California ($2~612 needed)~ if we can just raise a few hundred dollars more~ we will fax thousands more pastors to equip their churches to gather official petitions to save real babies!  But first~ please at least sign our free petition to defend unborn babies as persons~ and tell 5 friends.

Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 28 Feb – 6 Mar 2010:
FAX PETITION — Obama pressures chaplains to silence speech about homosexual ban

The Senior Military Chaplain at Andrews Air Force Base fearfully disinvited Tony Perkins~ leader of the Family Research Council and former Marine officer~ from a scheduled speaking engagement at a prayer breakfast~ because of pressure by the Obama Administration to censor speech by military chaplains against homosexual sin.  Air Force Chaplain Lt. Col. Gary Bertsch wrote Perkins as he cancelled the invitation~ "As military members we are sworn to support our Commander in Chief~ and are forbidden to make or support statements which run counter to our roles as members of the armed forces."  Perkins had elsewhere criticized efforts to repeal "Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell~" but did not intend to speak on the subject at the prayer breakfast~ and was shocked by the irony of being censored for merely advocating enforcement of current federal law.  

Meanwhile Four Star General James Conway~ the heroic Commandant of the Marine Corps~ made public statements opposing Obama’s homosexual agenda this week~ risking his own career~ and criticizing statements by the current pro-homosexual Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff~ Mike Mullen.  Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz both said they had serious concerns about lifting the ban with two wars raging.  But they need help on Capitol Hill.  Please sign our petition to Congress to keep open homosexual aggression out of our military~ please select here~ sign the petition~ and we will fax it to all 535 Congressmen~ saving you hours of labor.  We’ve already faxed 90~000 petitions.  Can you help reach 100K?

Military Chaplains Fear Obama~ Un-invite Christian Speaker

From Romans 15:16 let them preach the gospel~ despite threats of censorship because of the possible repeal of the “Don’t Ask~ Don’t Tell” policy.  This week some cowardly chaplains disinvited Tony Perkins from his scheduled speech at a prayer event because he opposes the repeal of DADT.  God bless the other chaplains now coming forward more boldly~ agreeing with us the military should not be used for homosexual social experiments~ in Jesus Name~ Amen.

Lt. Dan Choi: ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is a ‘disease of shame’

February 24, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Lt. Dan Choi: ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is a ‘disease of shame’
Monday, February 22, 2010

T.M. Lindsey — Iowa Independent


 
Although Lt. Dan Choi’s current status in the military remains murky, one thing is clear: In his heart and mind the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy is a poisonous disease that spreads beyond the military.

“Through my experiences while serving in Iraq, I discovered why ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is so poisonous is that it forces people to lie about who they are,” Choi told an audience of about 200 LGBT students, allies, school administrators and educators gathered at the 5th Annual Governor’s Conference on LGBT Youth at Drake University in Des Moines Feb. 18. “This is a policy of shame that forces people into the closet.

“I wonder how many of us have a DADT policy in our churches, families, schools, clubs, classrooms, or even here in our own hearts that we’ve placed on ourselves, imposing shame and saying to ourselves: ‘that’s an order,’” Choi said. “DADT is the disease of shame that we all suffer through. For the past 10 years, I had no problem with DADT and thought it was just great. Since I was already in the closet, DADT provided cover and gave me a place to hide.”

Upon returning from active duty in Iraq, he could no longer hide his true identity. Choi, a West Point graduate, Iraq war veteran and Arabic translator, was eventually discharged from the Army when he said “I am gay” on an episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show” that aired last March.

[…]

In an exclusive interview with The Iowa Independent, Choi said one person who could contribute to the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is Iowa’s highest ranking military official, Gov. Chet Culver, who did not attend his LGBT conference.

“If Gov. Culver, Iowa’s commander-in-chief, were here today, I would ask that he join my brothers in arms and call upon the federal government to repeal DADT,” he said, adding: “Gov. Culver is the highest ranking military official in Iowa, so it would be great to see him make some sort of public declaration to show he supports the repeal of DADT.”

Culver can’t formally change the policy, Choi said, but seeing the governor speak out would “mean a lot to the gay Iowa soldiers already serving and those who have been discharged, knowing that their leader supports and stands up for them.”

“In fact, I would call on all commanders-in-chief across the country to stand up for their troops, who have been shouldering a significant portion of the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said. “I would be honored to have Gov. Culver serving with me in my foxhole.”

The Iowa Independent contacted Culver’s office on multiple occasions but received no response.

[…]

Reconciling family and faith

According to Choi, the courage it took to come out on “The Rachel Maddow Show” was nothing compared to what he had to muster when he came out to his parents. He was raised in an evangelical household by his father, a southern Baptist minister, and his mother, a nurse on the maternity ward who always dreamed of a house filled with Korean grandchildren. Feeling the continuous pressure from his mother to marry a Korean girl and have a big, traditional wedding, Choi admitted to the audience that she annoyed him to the point that he buckled and came out to her. “I am not going to marry a Korean girl, nor am I going to marry a white girl,” he told his mother. “I am gay, and I was born that way, and I tried to pray the gay away.”

Choi confessed his father was even more shocked than his mother, to the point of irrationality. “Since when?” was his father’s first response. “You can change, it’s just like Barack Obama, you can change. Yes you can,” his father said to him.

“Thanks to Obama, yes we can turn straight again,” Choi quipped to the audience.

Despite their initial reactions, Lt. Choi stuck to his guns, realizing he was out of the closet and would not turn back on his decision or himself. “It is because I love you that I am telling you the truth,” he confided to his mother. “If I didn’t tell you, that’s when you should be truly concerned, because I would continue to keep lying to your face.”

Reconciling a new path with his father, however, was more challenging, given his father’s religious position and background, not to mention the irrationality of his initial responses. “This is the biggest shame, the biggest sin,” Choi’s father told him when he first found out. “Number one sin.”

“I learned about the biggest sin that you taught me in your church and while growing up in your house was to not accept Jesus Christ, your lord and savior, who said you should love your neighbor as you love yourself,” Choi responded to his father. “Which means you have to love yourself before you can love your neighbor. You have to love yourself as God has created you, and I do, and I love you, and this is why I am telling you this.”

Since he came out to them, Choi’s mother and father have slowly grappled with coming to terms with their son’s sexuality.

“The last time I was in Iowa last October, my dad called me and said he had seen me making appearances on all of the television shows and told me he knew what I was doing and that he accepted me as his gay son,” Choi said.

However, Choi admits that not everyone who shares his faith has been so accepting or understanding.

“There are a lot of people out there who use their religious sentiments against my sexuality and that is the source of their hatred,” he said. “I don’t think I should have to give up my religion and faith, because the politicians and the people with a political agenda within those faiths want to hijack it.”

To help illustrate his point, Choi pointed to Chaplain Gordan James Klingenschmitt, a religious pundit and founder of “The Praying in Jesus Name” project. Klingenschmitt singled out Choi in some of his online posts, calling him a liar for knowingly breaking the West Point Honor Code by lying about his sexuality and called for his immediate separation from the military.

Not knowing how to respond to Klingenschmitt in Jesus’ name, Choi offered the audience an open prayer:

Dear God,

I just want to pray and lift up Chaplain James who needs to learn the pain he causes. You teach us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us. And how many times did you teach us to turn our cheek when somebody does wrong to us. Chaplain Klingenschmitt just doesn’t understand the pain he is causing, and I realize that he doesn’t understand the lessons we learned though your son, Jesus Christ, when He was here on earth. But the tradition and the law and his people turned their back on Him and gave him the death penalty for telling the truth. When oppression and discrimination were present in his time but He stood up. Chaplain James can be blessed to learn these messages.

Amen

“That is how I respond and how I pray in Jesus’ name,” Lt. Choi said. “There will be some people who will continue to use their views and religious bigotry to push their agenda. It is not our job to hate them back, rather to show them the truth and pray for them to understand.”

Choi’s call-to-arms

Despite having been formerly discharged from the Army, Choi was recently called back to active duty and recently reported to his National Guard unit in New York to complete some drills.. “I have been training hard with my unit, with the intent that I will join them when it receives its orders for deployment to Afghanistan,” Choi told The Iowa Independent. “However, a discharge continually looms over my head, and as far as I know, I could be discharged the day before deployment.

“Mentally, I am stuck in a schizophrenic holding pattern,” he added. “In the meantime, like other members in my unit, I will continue to plug away at my day job, which for me is a full-time activist.”

Choi helped form Knights Out, an organization comprised of West Point alumni advocating for the rights of gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, and continues to speak out to the press and events across the country. “Whether I am reinstated or not in the military remains to be seen. Either way, I will continue to speak out against the DADT policy until it is repealed and my fellow gay soldiers can serve openly and without having to serve our country in shame.”

“Ironically, there are gay men and women over in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting for and protecting the very freedoms they themselves cannot openly exercise,” Choi said. “Meanwhile back at home there are some states, like Iowa, that recognize these rights and protections for our gay citizens. Unfortunately, these same rights do not extended to them when they return to their civilian lives and families — who also have to hide the truth and share this overwhelming burden of shame.”

Choi will return to Iowa Thursday to speak at 7 p.m. in the Iowa Memorial Union’s Main Lounge at the University of Iowa.

Two Years Later, Klingenschmitt Might See Victory in VA
January 1, 2010

RightWingWatch.org


 
Back in 2008, we wrote a few posts based on claims by Gordon Klingenschmitt and other right-wing activists that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine had supposedly “fired” several State Police Chaplains because they prayed publicly “in Jesus’ name” and had banned chaplains for praying in such a manner.

It wasn’t true, but that didn’t stop Klingenschmitt, Rick Scarborough, Mat Staver and others from holding a rally in Richmond in an effort to get the decision reversed. That never happened and the issue faded away … at least until recently, as now it looks like the issue will be brought up again now that a Pat Roberston-approved governor is taking control in Virginia:

[Del. Charles W. Carrico, a retired state trooper] already has refiled the measure for the 2010 session, which begins Jan. 13. He said he is hoping for a better result now that senators have had more time to think about the issue.

He also could get a boost from the change in the governor’s office. Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine, who had threatened to veto Carrico’s bill, will be succeeded by Bob McDonnell, a conservative Republican with close ties to the Rev. Pat Robertson.

“The governor-elect is a strong supporter of religious liberty and the right of religious officials to freely practice their faiths, unimpeded by government,” McDonnell spokesman J. Tucker Martin said. “He is reviewing the directive from that perspective.”

[…]

Flaherty issued the order after a federal appeals court upheld a Fredericksburg City Council policy that banned opening council meetings with sectarian prayers. The order applies only to department-sponsored public events, not to private events such as funerals or counseling sessions with troopers or victims.

State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said the directive applied to only one event in 2009 — the department’s annual law enforcement memorial service. She said the department stands by Flaherty’s 2008 statement that the state police must “be inclusive and respectful of the varied ethnicities, cultures, and beliefs of our employees, their families, and citizens at-large.”

Seven Daily "National News Prayer Alerts" for the Week of 21 – 27 Feb 2010:
FAX PETITION — Stop Obama’s "new"  big- government power grab that funds abortion


Newsweek.com has suddenly realized what I’ve been saying for three months~ that 36 House Democrats (and 1 Republican) still hold the key to STOPPING ENTIRELY President Obama’s new   "version 2.0" health-care plan that massively funds abortion with our tax-dollars. Newsweek.com just reported:
"What matters now is how large that ‘unclear number of Democrats’ is [Chaps’ hint: 37]~ how many representatives will oppose the Democrat’s compromise bill because of softer abortion language. If we’re talking Stupak and one or two other members of Congress~ then the Democrats are probably safe. But if the ranks of Stupak-followers reach into low double digits~ Pelosi may have a serious threat on her hands. When we know more of the numbers~ we’ll better understand whether they will pose a threat to health-care reform moving forward."  We already know the numbers! Congressman Bart Stupak claims he has 10 or 12 friends already~ but will their votes be bought by Pelosi~ or will they stand and reduce abortion funding?

Petition for NC Forsyth County to Defend Jesus Prayers

February 14, 2010 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

PLEASE ADD YOUR "AMEN" TO THE FREE PETITION BELOW!


Chairman Linville
Forsyth County~ N.C.
SIGN FREE PETITION BELOW~ TO SEVEN MEMBERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY~ NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS~ TO DEFEND JESUS PRAYERS~ AND DONATE TO HELP THEM.

OUR PLEDGE: 100% of donations given to Pray In Jesus Name Ministries from 1 Aug to 10 Aug 2011 will be pledged and held in reserve for Forsyth County~ to mitigate the risk of loss~ if they boldly appeal to the Supreme Court and lose~ in defense of free speech and the right to pray publicly "in Jesus name." 

Will Forsyth N.C. Appeal Court’s Ban on Jesus Prayers?

The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners will decide on this month whether to appeal to the Supreme Court a bad 2-1 ruling~ Joyner v. Forsyth County by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals that banned private citizens from speaking the forbidden word "Jesus" during a public prayer before council meetings.

The 2-1 Court decision can be read here:  READ THE ANTI-JESUS COURT RULING.  The 4th Circuit Court rules over 5 states: Virginia~ West Virginia~ North and South Carolina~ and Maryland~ where Jesus-prayers are now considered "illegal" if atheist complainers try to sue in those states to stop free speech.

Judge Paul V. Niemeyer~ the lone dissenter in the 2-1 decision~ strongly criticized his fellow jurists:

"The majority has dared to step in and regulate the language of prayer — the sacred dialogue between humankind and God. Such a decision treats prayer agnostically; reduces it to civil nicety; … Most frightfully~ it will require secular legislative and judicial bodies to evaluate and parse particular religious prayers under an array of criteria. … I respectfully submit that we must maintain a sacred respect of each religion~ and when a group of citizens comes together~ as does the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners~ and manifests that sacred respect — allowing the prayers of each to be spoken in the religion’s own voice — we must be glad to let it be."

Alliance Defense Fund Attorney Mike Johnson said:  "America’s founders opened public meetings with prayer. There’s no reason that today’s public officials should be forced to censor the prayers of those invited to offer them simply because secularist groups don’t like people praying according to their own conscience.  The legal team will confer with the county about the process of appealing today’s decision."

A national group called the Alliance Defense Fund is paying the county’s legal bills~ but won’t cover payments to the plaintiffs for damages or legal expenses should the county lose.

The Pray In Jesus Name Project has already raised and pledged $3~000 to help pay for the County’s legal bills~ on the condititon the County appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court and loses their appeal.  If they win~ Jesus-prayers would be restored nationwide and the anti-Christian ACLU (who sued the county) could be forced to pay the County’s court costs~ ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

[So please DONATE HERE~ and help fulfill OUR PLEDGE as stated above.]&nb
sp; WITHOUT A PLEDGE~ THE COUNTY LIKELY WON’T APPEAL.  We need your help.

——–

TAKE ACTION FOUR WAYS: 
1) Sign the FREE petition below and write your comment which we’ll post now. 
2) Please politely email AND telephone each of the seven city council members below and politely ask them to vote to appeal the bad Judge’s decision to ban Jesus’ prayers.
3) Phone and email Chairman Richard Linville himself to encourage him to vote for appeal.
4) Pray God will bless the voters of Forsyth County~ NC with wisdom before the next election.

A PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD~
and
A PETITION TO COMMISSIONERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY~ N.C.:

Dear Commissioners:

We the undersigned~ respectfully petition you to defend religious freedom by allowing visiting pastors 

of all diverse faiths and denominations~ to pray aloud publicly according to the dictates of their own conscience~

at or before city council meetings~ even if they dare to pray aloud publicly "in Jesus name" or invoke their own specific deity. 

Please do not cave-in to atheist intimidation by the enemies of religious liberty~ including the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals~ who ruled

2-1 to ban prayers "in Jesus name" and sided with the anti-Christian ACLU. 

Please conform your decision to First Amendment precedent which allows Jesus prayers among other rotating diverse prayers~

as already decided in the 7th Circuit (Hinrichs v. Bosma) and 11th Circuit (Pelphrey v. Cobb County)

and by the Supreme Court of the United States in two decisions: Marsh v. Chambers and especially Lee v. Weisman. 

Jesus is not an illegal word~ the Bible is not a banned book~ and prayer speech is not a crime. 

We pray to God you will stand with us by taking a courageous stand for liberty~ in Jesus’ name.  Amen. 

Add your "Amen" by signing below~ and WE WILL POST YOUR COMMENTS to the
Commissioners of Forsyth County~ N.C.~ immediately.

FREE PETITION: Urge Forsyth County NC to appeal Court’s ban on Jesus prayers!
(Trouble clicking? Cut and paste: https://prayinjesusname.org/blog_post/show/57)

A federal judge in North Carolina just ruled it’s illegal to pray "in Jesus name" before Forsyth County public meetings.  The seven-member board of county commissioners is evenly split about whether to appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court~ or cave-in to ban Jesus permanently~ but one man~ Dave Plyler~ is undecided.  Alliance Defense Fund is representing~ but will NOT cover the risk of loss to pay opposing ACLU attorney fees~ so Pro-Jesus groups have raised $155~000 of the $225~000 needed to mitigate that risk of loss. (Otherwise the county just won’t risk tax-payer funds~ and Jesus will be permanently banned.)  PLEASE SIGN OUR FREE PETITION to urge the Commissioners to appeal~ and DONATE TO DEFEND the right to pray "IN JESUS NAME" in public meetings.  OUR PLEDGE:  100% of donations given to Pray In Jesus Name Ministries from 13 Feb to 22 Feb 2010 will be pledged and held in reserve for Forsyth County~ to mitigate the risk of loss~ if they boldly appeal to the Supreme Court and lose~ in defense of free speech and the right to pray publicly "in Jesus name." So please donate your 100% pledge this week!
