In a chaotic world, Youth for Christ is here

We live in uncertain times, where everyone from advertisers to drug dealers try to capture the attention of our most valuable asset: young people.

For 65 years, Youth for Christ has strengthened communities by sharing the Gospel with young leaders, and empowering them to make a difference in people’s lives – an impact that spans generations. Let me share about the ministry in the USA.

Every day at thousands of community centers, high schools, middle schools, juvenile institutions, coffee shops, skate parks, and local hangouts, Youth for Christ staff and volunteers meet with young people who need Jesus. It is an amazing opportunity, and even more amazing to see the transformation in the lives of so many young people.

Although we are proud to say that with the support of Americans like you, Youth for Christ was able to reach 650,000 young people in America last year, along with 6.8 million in 116 other nations, we must do more.

Right now, what our country and international community needs most are young leaders who will apply the Gospel and their gifts of hospitality, teaching, and discernment to help lift up those who are suffering and in need.

There is a battle brewing in our world – a conflict of the spirit – and when youth are negatively influenced, violent acts can occur; but when youth have a positive influence and seek God’s Word, they become mobilized to help their community; and they become examples to others.

Youth for Christ strives to bring hope to those who are unable to see God’s purpose for their lives.

With your generous support, young people can rise above the unrest and wonton destruction, and reflect Jesus’ light on the world.

Being part of Youth for Christ, I have witnessed the unifying change that our young leaders bring to their communities, and you can too.

Today, with your donation of $20 a month or more, you will receive a copy of my book, “Kingdom Come”; and know that your gift is helping to transform our communities and train young leaders for Christ.

In this world, the question is not whether young people will be mobilized to change the world, but rather who will capture their hearts, and what cause will they be mobilized for?

The five essentials that work in the US ministry:

  • Widespread prayer – engaging Christians to intercede on behalf of the ministry.
  • Loving relationships – pursuing lost youth and engaging them in life-long relationships with Jesus.
  • Biblical education – teaching young people how to apply biblical truths to their lives.
  • Collaborative community strategy – working with local churches, agencies, and community partners to provide youth and family ministries.
  • Adults who empower – training leaders to reach young people from every demographic.

When all of these are combined, Youth for Christ is able to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus, who lead by their Godliness in lifestyle, devotion to prayer and the word of God, and passion for sharing the love of Christ.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Youth for Christ’s work in Tuscaloosa, Alabama:

In April an F5 tornado, the most violent storm in Alabama’s history, ripped through the state, destroying 5,000 homes and leaving 15,000 Americans homeless.

Among the hardest hit areas was Tuscaloosa, a city of 90,000 residents. Two of the communities that suffered the greatest impact from the tornado are areas that have been served by Youth for Christ for over 40 years.

Having staff and volunteers who live and work in Tuscaloosa, we were able to meet the immediate needs of the community’s children and students – by providing food, water, clothes, and shelter; and we are able to fulfill their long-term spiritual and emotional needs, by providing counseling to students and children who continue to cope with their grief and loss.

With two ministries serving the community, Campus Life and Teen Moms, Youth for Christ regularly works with 600 to 700 middle school and high school students; and because of our ongoing efforts in the community, we are able to help families’ long-term needs.

Whether our nation is suffering from moral and spiritual decline or a national disaster, our staff, volunteers, and young leaders are always on the front lines ready to lend support through prayer and service.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Proverbs 20:11

Youth for Christ prepares for times of crisis, and we also strive to avert crises, by empowering young people to become productive members of society.

Our workers are trained to reach young people in a relational manner, interacting with them on a day-to-day, need-by-need basis. Our goal is to empower as many young leaders as possible, and they will mobilize others, in perpetuity.

You can make sure we have the resources to make this happen.

My fervent prayer is that you will help Youth for Christ in our effort to mobilize young people for Christ. I also encourage you to pass this email on to others so they, too, will know the difference that Youth for Christ making in the lives of our youth.

Conservative American,

The anti-Jihad and anti-Sharia Conference in Nashville has been cancelled due to supposed THREATS to the hotel. More than likely, it is because the hotel does not like the particular “point of view” that was to be presented on November 11th.

The Preserving Freedom Conference was to be held at the Hutton Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The hotel executive, Steve Eckley, Senior Vice-President of Hutton Hotel, told conference organizers on Monday that he had been receiving threatening letters and calls.

In reality, Eckley has caved to Sharia Law, which demands submission by non-Muslims. If every hotel manager was worried about what speakers might say at hotel conferences, no one would have the freedom to say anything at conference centers.

As referenced on the Shariafreeusa website, “Steve Eckley should have been strong on behalf of freedom of speech and religious expression and not have caved to the demand of Islamists. His company owns numerous other hotels including one in London that holds conferences promoting Sharia finance and Sharia compliant life insurance.”

Christian Newswire reports that William J. Murray, chairman of the Sharia Awareness Action Network, the conference organizer, says the Hutton Hotel cannot get its story straight about why it cancelled the “Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference,” scheduled for November 11th.

Murray relayed: “In an October 11 letter to Lou Ann Zelenick of The Tennessee Freedom Coalition, Stephen W. Eckley of Amerimar Enterprises, which owns the Hutton wrote: ‘If you had made us aware at the outset what the content of the meeting was and that at least two of your speakers have a history of engaging people to the point that violence has been imminent, we would not have accepted the booking.’”

Conservative Action Alerts has responded to the urgent need by producing a television spot that tells the real story of Sharia Law. (View it now).

Please CLICK HERE to let us know that you will help us to get this television ad to many, many television markets!

Like YOU, we believe in the principles that were established by our Founding Fathers within the United States Constitution. There is a worldwide movement that we have been writing about for over one-half year called “Sharia.” This radical Islamic Law is over-taking the world, including most of the supposed “Arab Spring freedom fighters.” Country-by-country, the radical Islamists are taking over the deposed governments… even evidence of this happened this month when it looks like Sharia Law will replace Qaddafi Dictator Law in Libya.

Sharia Law is like a “cancer” that is infiltrating the United States. There are over 50 Appellate Court cases from 23 states that involve conflicts between Sharia (Islamic law) and American state law. This represents the infiltration of your home and community.

Radical Islamic Sharia Law is already INSIDE America – ready to come against YOU! That’s right; Sharia Law has infiltrated our United States court systems already. And most of America has no idea what has ALREADY happened!

We are doing much more than just “warning” you! Here at Conservative Action Alerts, we have decided to take an extremely PRO-ACTIVE stance against Sharia Law. That’s why we have produced television spots that help to EXPOSE the real dangers of Sharia law.

Yet, the intimidation continues!


Bill Murray explains: “The hotel was aware that the subject was controversial, only in that militants have decided that Islam may only be discussed positively – never critically. For that reason, the Hutton made us purchase an extra-liability insurance policy, at added expense.”

Quite frankly, this is a FREE SPEECH issue! The Hutton Hotel has NO right to cancel an event because it does not like the point of view presented.

According to Jihad Watch, “In cancelling the conference because it received threats, the Hutton Hotel is kowtowing to violence and showing that terrorism works, instead of doing what it should do: stand resolutely against violent intimidation. The conference was to be well-guarded, and the hotel knew this.”

“The hotel’s cancellation of the event is part of the ongoing efforts by Islamic supremacist groups to force non-Muslims to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws and to acquiesce to the Islamization of the public square. They have been pursuing such efforts in the U.S. and Europe for years.”

“We urge all freedom-loving Americans to voice your outrage at this capitulation to Islamic supremacist intimidation.”

The Preserving Freedom Conference was to feature Pam Geller as a keynote speaker, along with Robert Spencer, Wafa Sultan, Mark Durie, William Murray, Father Keith Roderick, and many voices for freedom.

Pam Geller, the keynote speaker told: “The silencing of free speech is key to the Islamization of America!” “My defense of freedom of speech and freedom of conscience enrages Islamic supremacists to the point of violence, and this is our fault?”

Conservative Action Alerts was a Co-Sponsor of this historic event. So we are extremely disappointed that the conference was cancelled! We continue our television spots to make sure that Sharia Law does not infiltrate our society and court system.

Please CLICK HERE to let us know that you will help us to get this television ad to many, many television markets!

Bill Murray explained, “Charging that two of our speakers have a history of enraging people to the point that ‘violence is imminent’ is absurd and libelous. None of our speakers has ever advocated violence! There are people who will respond with violence to virtually any idea, concept, or event including beating opponent’s fans at baseball games. The outside possibility of a violent reaction from a small minority is no reason to cancel any conference, meeting or sports event in this nation.”

The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference was to be the first major national conference on Sharia and the Islamization of America sponsored by major freedom oriented organizations, including Conservative Action Alerts! This was not just another educational conference. Participants were to go away from this historic conference with an understanding of how to fight the advance of Sharia Law in the United States.

As a Co-Sponsor, we had committed to pay for some of the expenses for this extraordinary event! You see, we believe very passionately against Sharia. We wanted to be a part, no matter what! My hope is that the hotel executive will understand and feel the heat of the Conservative pressure to re-affirm or re-schedule the conference.

According to Murray, “Mat Staver, Dean of the Liberty University Law School – who was to speak to the Conference – is assessing our options and a demand letter (to the hotel management) will be forthcoming!”

Murray promised that conference organizers will pursue all avenues to compel that Hutton will abide by its binding contract, which cannot be legally abrogated by one party.

If you respond today, it will encourage the organizers of the conference to continue at another location!

Here is a list of some of the important, nation-changing topics that would have been covered:
Sharia and Jihad
The European Experience with Sharia
The Dehumanization and Diminishment of Women in the West Under Sharia
Religious Persecution Under Sharia
The Muslim Brotherhood In America
Sharia and Legal Action
Grassroots Organizing Against Sharia and Rabat (including Mega-Mosques)
Defending Liberty In Legislatures
Fighting Islamist Propaganda in the Media

Please help us to be a Co-Sponsor of this global event!

Please help to pay for some of the Sponsorship Costs of this historic event (which will probably be re-scheduled immediately!), as well as our ongoing media efforts, including television ads!

Sharia Law is extremely important to not only the Arab and European immediate future, but also here in the United States!

You see, we have a very pro-active, pro-Muslim United States President – President Obama. This is unprecedented in American political history!

In the “name of peace,” the United States government officials reach out to the radical Muslim Sharia Law activists. For example, they had a meeting with members of the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to several recent reports in the media.

Yes, my friend, we are making a difference. Our more than FIVE million emails on this particular concern have alerted Americans to contact the U.S. Congress to the very real danger of Sharia Law within the United States of America.

And YOU have helped to make the difference!


Let’s continue to make a difference!

Christians are being persecuted in the Middle East … and your United States tax dollars are helping fund their mistreatment!

Think about it … Christians killed for their beliefs … murdered in the streets … arrested in their own homes for praying!

And the Obama administration is just turning the other way, preferring instead to “make nice” with the fundamentalist groups responsible!

The violence is especially bad in Egypt. After President Hosni Mubarak was removed from power, the anti-Christian forces became more bold. On October 9, at least 24 Christians were killed and hundreds more injured when the Egyptian army deliberately drove military vehicles through the crowd of demonstrators.

The United States of America PAID for those vehicles to slaughter Christians …because Egypt receives over $2 billion every year from YOU, the U.S. taxpayer.

Why is the United States sending money to countries that allow religious persecution? Congress needs to protect Christians around the world. Please contact Congress right now and tell them to STOP sending money to countries that murder Christians!

Conservative Action Alerts notified you previously that the Obama administration held secret meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, and encouraged the uprising in Egypt. Since that country fell into instability, Christians have been targeted by the violent Salafis, who are even MORE radical than the Muslim Brotherhood, and they are determined to wipe out all religions other than Islam.

But, ask yourself, WHY? Why would our President want to reach out to the violent Muslim Brotherhood? He claims he is for “peace,” but there is NO PEACE for the embattled Christians in those countries! The State Department will not stop aid, and Congress continues to let this go on. This must stop! Contact Congress right now!

Our First Amendment guarantees us the right to free exercise of religion, but others around the world are not so lucky.

The Muslim Brotherhood is gaining power in the “Arab Spring,” and Christians are under severe attack by the MB and another radical group called the Salafis.

Daniel Pipes, a Middle East scholar, predicts:
“At the present rate, the Middle East’s 12 million Christians will likely drop to 6 million in the year 2020. With time, Christians will effectively disappear from the region as a cultural and political force.”

Send a Fax to every Member of Congress right now and tell them to stop sanctioning religious persecution across the globe!

In EGYPT- The Egyptian Federation of Human Rights reports that by the end of this year, as many as 250,000 Christians could flee Egypt because of the persecution they are experiencing.

In IRAQ-The Shi’a Islamic faction in Iraq has gained power over the last ten years, and is becoming more and more hostile to Christians. Already, more than half of the Christian population – 400,000 – has left the country. Nina Shea, a member of the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, says, “The goal of the extremists is to drive Christians from Iraq. It is religious cleansing.”

In LIBYA- At a rally on October 23rd in Benghazi, Libya’s National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil said, “We are an Islamic state.” He also added, “As a Muslim country, we have adopted the Islamic Sharia as the main source of law. Accordingly, any law that contradicts Islamic principles with the Islamic Sharia is ineffective legally.”

In SYRIA-Many of the hundreds of thousands of Christians who fled Iraq went to Syria; however, if President Bashar Assad’s regime is toppled, these embattled Christians will likely face similar struggles and will be driven out of that country, as well.

Why is the United States sending money to countries that allow religious persecution? Congress needs to protect Christians around the world. Every freedom-loving citizen needs to contact Congress right now and tell them to STOP sending money to countries that murder Christians!

YOUR U.S. TAX DOLLARS ARE HELPING FUND THIS PERSECUTION! And, the State Department is doing nothing about it!

Jihad Watch reports,

Egypt…this year alone has seen nearly 80 Christians killed, their many churches burned or bombed, and their daughters kidnapped and forcibly converted…[yet it was not] listed as a “country of particular concern,” this despite the fact that the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, an independent, bipartisan federal government commission, had recommended that the State Department designate it so.

Neither was Pakistan cited as a “country of particular concern.” “[Secretary] Clinton did not designate Pakistan even though the State Department’s own report stated that Pakistani law calls for the death penalty for people who commit ‘blasphemy’ against Islam or who convert from Islam to another religion – and even though the report listed multiple instances of the Pakistani government using the law to persecute Christians.”


The United States cannot continue to send money to countries that have no respect for religious freedom – and, we cannot continue to turn the other way as Christians around the world are killed for their beliefs.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), said “It is increasingly difficult for us as Americans to maintain support for a government that is attacking the voices that would help sustain its own democracy, while defending the Islamic extremists who inflame religious intolerance,” Franks said.

Tell Congress to ACT NOW and cut funding to countries that persecute Christians. Now is the time to act in the name of religious freedom around the world!

FCC To Regulate Religion & Politics?
IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED – SEND 536 FAXES
TO ALL OF CONGRESS & OBAMA – NOW!

Alert: On Monday, the FCC released a new carriage order that could give Obama control over what you see on TV!

A new scheme by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could sell-off broadband spectrum that only local stations currently use. The air space would be bought up by cellular cartels like Verizon and Google. That means – religious and political broadcasters would be axed! A total of at least 210 stations would be forced off the air.

Did you know the goals of the FCC/Obama free speech grab will…

  • Gag religious voices
  • Kill small businesses and entrepreneurs
  • Elimination of free TV
  • Choke political dissent
  • Destroy all avenues of free speech
  • Give Obama control of the dissemination of information

Have You Had Enough Yet?

Stop Obama & The FCC From Gagging Conservative & Religious Voices!
IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED – SEND 536 FAXES
TO ALL OF CONGRESS & OBAMA – NOW!

Unfortunately, this is only the beginning. If the Obama/FCC power grab is successful, they will likely move to take over the RADIO! Imagine… if Obama could get conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingram off the air there would be no one to question his dictatorship! The only talk radio shows that would EXIST would be radical programs like NPR and uber-liberal mouthpieces like Al Sharpton!

We must act today. Think about the magnitude of this problem for a minute. As you know, Obama’s re-election campaign is kicking into full gear. If he adds control over TV to his war chest, his chances of getting re-elected will increase dramatically. We don’t have any time to waste.

Stop Obama & The FCC From Gagging Conservative & Religious Voices!
IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED – SEND 536 FAXES
TO ALL OF CONGRESS & OBAMA – NOW!

Do you believe that the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects our right to free speech?

Do you believe ANY attempt by Obama and his cronies to gag our religious and political voices is unconstitutional?

If you answered “YES” will you stand with me and DEMAND that Congress STOP Obama’s back-door attempt to choke all voices of dissent.

The only thing standing in between the liberal zealots and your 1st Amendment Rights is the Constitution. But the scary thing is… Barack Obama doesn’t hold that sacred document in very high regard. Truth be told, his actions have proven OVER and OVER again that he has nothing but SCATHING CONTEMPT for our country’s most important document.

You see, because Obama does not respect the Constitution we must be more vigilant than ever to protect those rights! You and I can stop these treacherous schemes. That’s why I’m counting on you to fax Congress today.

Stop Obama & The FCC From Gagging Conservative & Religious Voices!
IMMEDIATE HELP NEEDED – SEND 536 FAXES
TO ALL OF CONGRESS & OBAMA – NOW!

But we can’t do this without your support. That’s why we’ve set up our website so that you can FORCE Washington to “feel the heat” from the MAJORITY of the American people! Take action TODAY — before Obama and the FCC destroy free speech!

Please help us generate OVERWHELMING pressure on the Senate to stop the FCC’s new carriage order!

Your future. My future. And our children’s futures are on the line.

Be sure to MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD TODAY! Thank you!

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 289,000 petitions for Israel.  Can you help us reach 300,000?

Jerusalem may be seized Monday, 3pm EST.  Abbas demands Independent Palestine.

The Jerusalem Post reports:  ”The UN Security Council will meet on Monday to discuss the Palestinian application for membership in the United Nations,” Lebanon’s UN ambassador said.

“I circulated the letter (Palestinian application) to all members of the Security Council and I called for consultations in light of this letter on Monday at 3 in the afternoon (1900 GMT),” Ambassador Nawaf Salam told reporters on Friday.

[Palestinian Authority President] Abbas called on the nations of the world to vote for the recognition of Palestine and urged the UN Security council to expedite their decision.

“I say to the Israelis, come to peace,” Abbas said during the speech, reiterating his position that the statehood bid should not be an impediment to the peace process.”

The future of Jerusalem depends on a United States veto Monday, and the pro-Muslim President Barack Husein Obama holds power to either veto, or abstain.  Now is time to pray for our President.  As much as I’ve disagreed with him in the past, Obama needs our prayers right now, that the devil will not tempt him to do evil.

Let us pray.  ”Almighty God, we pray for the State of Israel, for whom You made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and our Lord Jesus Christ, to watch over and keep, to protect, and someday redeem for yourself, not only with their own land, but with eternal salvation.  Keep them safe now, and let nobody on this earth, not the Muslims, not the United Nations, and not even the President of the United States, violate their rights and ownership of Jerusalem, and all the territory west of the Jordan river.  From Joel 3:2, we pray God ‘will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land,’ in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Folks, this is an urgent time to pray for Israel, and for the peace of Jerusalem.  We cannot fail in our duty to pray, right now.  Many have great confidence in our President’s willingness to protect Israel, but I do not.  I depend entirely on God alone, to keep His word.  And regardless, it is now time for the U.S. Congress to de-fund the UN and the Palestinian Authority, as is now required by U.S. law, since Abbas has abrogated the 1993 Oslo peace accords by seeking independence unilaterally.  Let’s remind Congress to keep their word.

407 Congressmen voted for H.Res 268 which clearly reminds us WHAT U.S. LAW CURRENTLY SAYS:

“Resolved: That the House of Representatives…reaffirms the United States statutory requirement precluding assistance to a Palestinian Authority that includes Hamas unless that Authority and all its ministers publicly accept Israel’s right to exist and all prior agreements and understandings with the United States and Israel.”

In other words, American federal law already prohibits our tax-funding the Palestinian Authority at all, if they violate the 1993 Oslo Accords, and join the Hamas terrorists to seek independence illegally, which they have now done at the UN.  American law requires defunding Palestinians, now that they have violated the 1993 Oslo Accords.  Know any lawyers willing to sue and stop that funding of the Hamas-P.A. abrogators?  Call them.

Let’s remind all 535 Congressmen and Senators, especially those visiting Israel now and next week, that we the American people stand behind Israel…

SELECT HERE TO SIGN URGENT PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS, NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND, AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS.  (WE WILL AUTO-FAX YOUR PETITION TO 535 U.S. CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS!)

Israel military preparing for Muslim violence after UN vote

Following is a breaking news report from CBN, from their reporter on the scene at an Israeli border crossing:

“THE KALANDIYA CHECKPOINT, Israel, September 22, 2011 — Israeli security forces are preparing for possible violence after the Palestinian Authority makes its bid for statehood at the United Nations on Friday.

“The situation in Israel is quiet now, but tense. Security services are on high alert. They’re preparing for every kind of scenario — anything from small, local disturbances to large-scale rioting.

“They’re particularly concerned about what might happen in Jerusalem, the northern border, and also the border with Egypt — any potential flash points between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs.

“One scenario is the possibility of large numbers of Palestinians heading toward checkpoints or Israeli areas, maybe not even violent but the sheer numbers forcing a confrontation with Israeli security forces or civilians.

“That’s one scenario officials want to avoid.

“Israeli security forces say if Palestinians keep their demonstrations in their own areas, they won’t bother them at all.

“Wednesday in Ramallah, a very large demonstration took place in support of Palestinian statehood. One demonstrator tried to burn an American flag, but he was quickly convinced to take it down and put out the flames.

“At this point, the Palestinians are trying to present a different image to the world.

“Still there was some rioting at the Kalandiya checkpoint. Israeli forces had to use tear gas to disperse the crowds. Rock throwing also happened in several places, including along the highways.

“Israel is preparing to quell any type of violence, not just for the days ahead, but also for the next few weeks when the country celebrates the fall holidays.”  Watch full video here.

[If the USA vetoes Palestinian independence today, expect violent tantrums from Muslims.  When he cannot take Jerusalem peacefully, the devil inside those men will resort to war.]

We come to all men in peace, and we petition Congress to de-fund the UN if they seize Jerusalem without Israeli permission.  Forward this email to friends to take a stand.

SELECT HERE TO SIGN URGENT PETITION DEFENDING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO PROTECT HER OWN BORDERS, NOT DIVIDE HER GOD-GIVEN LAND, AND REJECT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S CALL FOR RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS.  (WE WILL AUTO-FAX YOUR PETITION TO 535 U.S. CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS!)

Obama’s speech to UN:  ”USA supports Palestinian State” but no mention of veto

The White House spokesman equivocated Thursday, telling the press what President Obama still refuses to say publicly, and never said in his speech to the UN Wednesday that “we would have to oppose any action at the UN Security Council including, if necessary, vetoing,” a bid by the Palestinian Authority for full voting-member status, said Ben Rhodes, the White House national security council spokesman, after Obama met P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas in New York.

If necessary?  How about “we will veto no matter what!”  Yet because YOU helped apply political pressure on the U.S. Congress, we finally got the first public statement using the word “veto” by anybody who actually works for Obama (yet not by Obama himself), so we remain concerned that Muslim violence will still erupt against Israel in the coming weeks and months.   We hereby insist the President keep the promise made by his spokesman, to veto Palestinian Statehood immediately, until they properly negotiate with Israel.

Obama never mentioned the word “veto” in his speech to the UN, saying instead:   “One year ago, I stood at this podium and I called for an independent Palestine. I believed then, and I believe now, that the Palestinian people deserve a state of their own. … Faced with [a] stalemate, I put forward a new basis for negotiations in May of this year. That basis is clear [the pre-1967 borders]. It’s well known to all of us here…Palestinians deserve to know the territorial basis of their state…”

“Ultimately, it is the Israelis and the Palestinians — not us –- who must reach agreement on the issues that divide them: on borders and on security, on refugees and Jerusalem…   [More proof Obama wants a divided Jerusalem.]

“We seek a future where Palestinians live in a sovereign state of their own, with no limit to what they can achieve. There’s no question that the Palestinians have seen that vision delayed for too long. It is precisely because we believe so strongly in the aspirations of the Palestinian people that America has invested so much time and so much effort in the building of a Palestinian state, and the negotiations that can deliver a Palestinian state…

“Israel must recognize the need to pursue a two-state solution with a secure Israel next to an independent Palestine.”  Text of Obama’s full speech to the UN at Ha’aretz, here.

From this speech, it is clear that Obama wants a two-state solution, an independent Palestine, and a divided Jerusalem.  But thanks to YOUR political pressure on the White House by sending nearly 300,000 faxes to Congress, we helped secure a 407-6 House vote to support Israel, and Obama realized if he failed to veto Palestine, he would lose the upcoming election.  YOUR PRESSURE ON WASHINGTON IS THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED THE NATION OF ISRAEL THIS WEEK, and yet she is not yet safe.

Good news:  After receiving your faxes to defend Israel, another courageous Tea Party Republican, Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL, pictured right), who said: ”There is no such thing as a two-state solution, and no such thing as land for peace. The ultimate peace is going to come through annexation, through Israel having sovereignty over the whole land, from the Mediterranean to Jordan,” Walsh told the Washington Jewish Week.

“My hope is that this will help buck up Israel,” Walsh said. “We’re not going to get peace until the other side realizes that they’re dealing with strength, that Israel and the U.S. are not going to back down.”

–President Obama blamed Israel for the coming Muslim violence in Palestine after the vote, saying Israel would ‘hurt itself’ if it withdraws resources that in any way harmed the PA’s self-policing efforts.  [Are you kidding? So if Israel doesn't fork over money, the Muslims won't be able to control their own violence, so it's Israel's fault?  Only the pro-Muslim Obama could spin that crazy logic.]

–127 nations, including Russia and China, are now ready to vote to divide Jersualem and recognize Palestine independent state inside Israeli territory without Israeli permission.  Only America and some European nations are undecided.

–Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned Wednesday there will be “harsh and grave consequences” if the Palestinians persist with their plan to seek UN membership as a state.  He says Palestinians are planning an “unprecedented bloodbath” after the UN move, and PM Netanyahu is meeting with Defense Minister Ehud Barak to prepare for war.

Israeli General: “All-out War” coming from “Radical Islamic Winter” to kill Jews.

A top Israeli Army officer predicted “all-out war” will be initiated by Muslims from Egypt, Turkey, and Iran next month, after the U.N. vote to seize Jerusalem on 20 Sept.

“Recent revolutions in the Arab world and the deteriorating ties with Turkey are raising the likelihood of a regional war in the Middle East, IDF Home Front Command Chief, Major General Eyal Eisenberg warned Monday,” reports Ynet News and Joel Rosenberg. “‘It looks like the Arab Spring, but it can also be a radical Islamic winter,’ he said in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.”

“‘This leads us to the conclusion that through a long-term process, the likelihood of an all-out war is increasingly growing,’ the IDF general said. ‘Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program. The opposite it true; it continues full steam ahead,’ he said. ‘In Egypt, the army is collapsing under the burden of regular security operations…’”

“Referring to what he characterized as the possibility of a ‘radical Islamic winter,’ Major-General Eisenberg said: ‘This raises the likelihood of an all-out, total war, with the possibility of weapons of mass destruction being used.’”

Meanwhile the Obama Administration has failed in their half-hearted efforts to persuade Palestinian President Abbas to stop seeking a UN vote.  ”We have exhausted all opportunities so we have to go to the U.N.,” Abbas said.

China has announced it will support seizing Jerusalem from Israel for an Independent Palestine, and Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is negotiating to delay the UN vote.

Bottom line:  Our U.S. Congress could still de-fund the UN if they seize Jerusalem.  Let’s take action to stop the “Radical Islamic Winter” and all-out war to kill Jews…

PALESTINIANS RAISING ANGRY MOB

Palestinians refuse to return to the negotiating table, instead pushing forward with plans to ask the United Nations to recognize their independence in September, a move that could lead to war.  Salam Fayyad, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian authority, warned that his own President Mahmoud Abbas is raising public expectations for independence, which the UN vote cannot grant.  ”The truth is the day after the vote will the same as the day before,” he complained that Abbas is deceiving the Palestinian people into expecting independence that the UN cannot grant.  The angry mob is rising.

Polls confirm Abbas is deceiving his own people.  A reporter in Haifa Israel quoted a recent survey of Palestinians that “the public supports the September process,” but “the minute the leadership returns from New York, Palestinian youths expect them to begin exercising absolute sovereignty.”

Palestinian PM Fayyad admitted President Abbas is deceiving the public.  All of the public discussion “is based on a false premise. What I find objectionable is that this has not been explained to the Palestinian people,” Fayyad said.

Jews in Israel fear the crisis coming in September.  The reporter in Haifa Israel said “Around here, everyone is deeply concerned about September. In fact, that’s just about the only thing anyone is talking about.”

The bottom line:  War is coming.  Abbas will force a UN vote, which Obama may not veto, but even if we do veto, Palestinians are raising an army (see below), and their civilian angry mobs will soon declare independence, because Abbas has lied to them, claiming the UN vote will grant independence, when it cannot.  Hoards of angry young Palestinians will not understand the limits of the UN vote, and will take to the streets in violence, calling for Israel’s and America’s destruction.  Israel gives land, but gets no peace.  And our U.S. Congress has not demanded the UN stop their vote.

PALESTINIANS GROWING SIZE OF ILLEGAL MILITARY

“The Palestinian Authority (PA) is quietly and illegally increasing the size of its military, in preparation to fight Israel for control of Jerusalem in September, when the United Nations (UN) may recognize Palestine’s independence and seize Jerusalem without Israeli permission.  IsraelNationalNews.com reports the PA Army has exceeded its legal size limit by 25%, but plans to grow their Army even more:

“Sources inside the PA, [told reporters] senior PA security personnel have expressed concern that its 41,000 strong paramilitary force – some 11,000 stronger than [the 30,000] the Oslo Accords allow – is not up to the task of confronting the IDF [Israeli Defense Force] in Judea and Samaria should Israel, as seems inevitable, dispute any unilateral PA claims [of independence].”  So the PA complains the need even more troops to fight Israel, and may rely upon Syria and Iran when war is declared on Israel.

PA “leadership has lost faith in peace talks which is why they are approaching the matter through the UN,” said Bassam Al Salehi, the Secretary General of the Palestinian People’s Party.  ”So far we have secured the approval of about 120 states from around the world to endorse an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borderline,” he added. “States which recognise each other, draw and fix their borders,” Salehi said.

The United Nations Security Council is debating this week whether to seize Jerusalem from Israel and declare Palestine is an independent state, which the Obama Administration may not veto as expected, as P.A. President Abbas said last month on Lebanese TV:   “President Obama says he wants to see an independent Palestinian state by September.”

CONGRESSMAN LEADS CHARGE TO DEFEND ISRAEL

One pro-Israel U.S. Congressman has introduced a brand new law to de-fund the United Nations if they dare to seize Israeli land, or if President Obama fails to veto any Palestinian land-grab of Jerusalem without permission from Israel.

Pro-Israel Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH, pictured right–>) who chairs the Subcommittee for mid-East relations, introduced H.Res 297, which says the United States should withhold “contributions to the regularly assessed biennial budget of the United Nations … if the General Assembly adopts a resolution in favor of recognizing a state of Palestine outside of or prior to a final status agreement negotiated between, and acceptable to, the State of Israel and the Palestinians.”

The Washington Times confirms the U.N. plans an illegal vote to unilaterally recognize Palestine in September.  ”A unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood would be an illegal act that would violate the letter and the spirit of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). Those binding resolutions called for a negotiated settlement of the dispute with Israel with ‘secure and recognized boundaries.’”

The Times also reports America supplies 22 percent of the U.N. budget, so de-funding would get their attention.  ”The United States cannot prevent this ill-advised move – it circumvents America’s Security Council veto by design – but U.S. leaders can let it be known that the U.N. would incur more than just a political cost.”  The United Jersualem Foundation warns:  ”A unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood by the United Nations General Assembly would cause incalculable harm to peace and stability in the Middle East.”

I just updated our petition words, to INCLUDE support for the new H.R. 297, but so far ZERO Congressman have co-sponsored Chabot’s important bill.  Please call your Congressman and both Senators at 202-224-3121, and say “please co-sponsor H.Res 297 to protect Israel’s current borders, and defund the U.N. if President Obama refuses to veto their Jerusalem land-grab.”  Also please call every member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East here.  Then fax our new petition words to all 535 Congressmen instantly here.  Israel needs our support today…

MORE CONGRESSMEN SUPPORT ISRAEL

Congressman Louis Gohmert (R-TX) led 45 Members of Congress with Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) this week by introducing H.Res 271 supporting Israel’s right to defend its own borders, against attack by Hamas terroists, Iranian nuclear ambitions, and the Obama Administration.

The resolution reads in part:  ”Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel.”  

To help this H.Res 271, I just created a new petition you can sign, asking YOUR Congressman to co-sponsor this critical pro-Israeli self-defense initiative.  Our petition REJECTS President Obama’s plan to return Israel’s borders to the 1967 borders, REJECTS Obama’s plan to divide Israel’s land in a two-state solution, REJECTS Obama’s plan to bring a curse upon America for violating Joel 3:2 and dividing the land of Israel in a phony “land for peace” deception, and REJECTS anybody’s call to take away Israel control of the holy city of Jerusalem.  Please stand with Israel one more time, by signing our petition…

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”
- Psalm 42:1-2

Thirty children between the ages of 8 and 12 sit at Kama Elementary School in Ishinomaki, Japan. The school has no running water, electricity or heat. The children are waiting patiently, reading books or playing cards.

The teachers don’t know what to say to them, because the children are waiting for their parents to come get them after the March 11th earthquake and resulting tsunami. But so far, no one has come. It is expected their parents are among the thousands missing in this town of 160,000, 50 miles northeast of Sendai.

As in all of the 100+ countries where we bring the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, Youth for Christ International is ready to provide relief to the victims in Japan. We are on the ground and prepared to provide care and compassion, because we do it every day.

No new relief workers are being allowed to go where things are the worst in Japan; but that does not impact YFCI, because our teams already live there. We have not needed to find any translators to bring into Japan because our people speak Japanese already… they are Japanese.

Youth for Christ is made up of tens of thousands of indigenous people in over 100 nations each seeking to spread God’s message of hope to the young people of their nation. Because we already have workers in Japan, we are able to provide unique support to those affected by this terrible incident.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is reporting that the postal system is clogged up with people trying to send relief into the area. They are urging people to find out where help is needed most, and to send it there.

That is why Youth for Christ International has been able to be so effective during this crisis; we don’t need to send anything through normal postal channels, or set up an organization to go over there and lend assistance. WE ARE ALREADY THERE.

The March 11th earthquake was the 5th strongest in the world since 1900, and Japan’s worst. The tsunami that followed, and the damage at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant have combined to create a devastating catastrophe.

Japan’s population is 127.6 million. Across the country, approximately 434,000 people have been made homeless and are living in shelters. Thousands are dead and missing; the exact number is not known.

Now, the governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, says he fears the Japanese people were being “punished.”

Spirits are low. They are too proud to ask for help, and too decimated to take action themselves. They are struggling with grief, loss, dangerous conditions and fear.

Now, more than ever, it is vital that Youth for Christ International staff and volunteers get into the street and talk to people, calm their fears, and soothe them with the word of God. Now is the time when our message, and our assistance, can reach the greatest number of people in need.

We want to send bicycles and tents to the affected areas, so the people can get around and not be stuck within the ruins. They need access to shelter, clean food, and water. They need to find their loved ones. (The bikes also have carriers to bring in supplies and carry people out—some for medical care). You have not heard it on the news, but it is a critical need. Many of our YFCI workers have other jobs and volunteer or received a small stipend—but there is no work now, and we need to continue to send them support.

As of March 25th, many roads are being cleared and repaired, so the bicycles will be put to great use in helping the sick and injured.

Our National Coordinator in Japan has asked for a special financial appeal. He sees two major needs that are currently not being given full attention. Bikes and tents are critical because:

Bicycles—Due to a major fuel shortage and damage to the roads and train tracks, people are unable to travel by train or cars in the affected areas. Youth for Christ will purchase a number of bicycles that have cargo capabilities to be able to transport the sick and injured to clinics and hospitals regardless of the condition of the roads. They will also provide people access to food and water.

Tents—Many people have been displaced from their homes. The majority have been relocated far from their place of origin, families and work places. You can purchase a tent and help those who find themselves homeless or those who have been relocated but would like to be situated much closer to their work or families. The tents purchased with your donations come with sleeping bags and cooking facilities.

Our country, Japan, got hit by a large earthquake on Mar 11. I was working in my house and then felt a small but very long shake. Soon I remembered the quake in Kobe (app. 5000 died) in 1995. We Japanese citizens get use to experiencing earthquakes every year and we have been trained to do appropriate actions since childhood. But we have not imagined such a big one.

I was afraid for our team members’ family and friends in the area. But the telephone and traffic system are totally paralyzed and I did not know what had happened to my friends there in the afternoon. Most information could be taken from the twitter site of my friend. She was hit by the quake in the train, and got out of it; it took her two hours to walk back home. On the way she tweeted from time to time with small pictures. TV & radio is OK, but they cannot cover our friends and families.

We are having new information more and more. Atomic power plants are damaged, with more than 1,000 times the normal levels of radiation, which is leaking, causing nearby residents to take refuge. Some villages were washed away by tsunami in a moment. Fires are still going in some places. Some people were saved from the tsunami on the rooftops of the office buildings and it is still very cold over there. Electricity and gas supplies are stopped in the up-north area.

We ask you to open your hearts and your wallets to comfort those in need. Please find it in your heart to send a generous donation so we can help the afflicted.

Our Prayer Requests are:

  • The rescue of the people still in the disaster area (especially for the activity of our defense force, fire station, and police officers)
  • Care for the people who have been hurt, injured and traumatized by the quake
  • The united work of our government and political parties
  • The spiritual needs of the people
  • Local churches’ cooperation

The Japan earthquake was 9.0 on the Richter scale; the Haiti earthquake was 7.0. The devastation is even greater now that radiation is affecting food and water; this is a situation that is quickly spiraling out of control after bad weather in the area has hindered rescue efforts.

It is a misconception that because Japan is a prosperous country, the damage is not as severe. That is simply not true. The earthquake, tsunami, nuclear damage and inclement weather have all combined to bring incredible suffering to very good people.

Youth for Christ International is currently there in Japan, in the midst of the terrible crisis. We ask you to open your hearts and your wallets to comfort those in need. YFCI will ensure support goes to our people who live in Japan, and they will see to it that help reaches those who need it most. You will not only be sending rescue to the people of Japan, but also Youth for Christ, who are citizens of Japan and live among the afflicted. Everyone in that area needs help. Please find it in your heart to send a generous donation so we can help the Japanese get back on their feet.

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? I John 3:17

Please help us with our relief efforts in Japan.

Warmly,

David Wraight, President

Defenders of Religious Freedoms, 

I am bringing you a very important message today from The Pray in Jesus Name Project. PIJN is committed to defending Religious Freedoms through petitioning God and our Government to stop devaluing our and taking away our values and freedoms.

For example, they have already delivered 47,000 fax petitions to our Congressmen/Senators to support the Defense of Marriage Act. We can help them reach 50,000!!

Right now they need your help because several Democrat Congressmen introduced a surprise bill to repeal the 1996 Marriage Act, forcing homosexual “marriage” on all 50 States. To date ZERO U.S. Senators have yet joined the House effort to defend DOMA.

The liberal, non-religious Congress is working overtime to make sure that marriage is no longer defined as one woman, one man and that homosexual relationships should forced into our culture in every State.

PIJN is working on a petition campaign to counter this attack on our Religious Freedoms. Please take a moment to read this short, important message about how you can help defend the [Traditional] Marriage Act.

Sincerely,

Tony Adkins

HOT PETITION!  Defend the Defense of Marriage Act, Marriage between One Man One Woman. Select, sign, WE WILL FAX your petition to 535 Congressmen/Senators now! We’ve already delivered 47,000 fax petitions.  Can you help us reach 50,000?

ZERO Senators defend marriage?  Barney Frank introduces DOMA repeal in 50 States.

 

Yesterday several Democrat Congressmen introduced a surprise bill to repeal DOMA, the 1996 Defense of [Traditional] Marriage Act, forcing homosexual “marriage” on all 50 states. To date ZERO U.S. Senators have yet joined the House effort to defend DOMA in court.

Led by 3 openly homosexual Congressmen Barney Frank (D-MA, pictured right–>), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Jared Polis (D-CO), several Dems held a press conference introducing their falsely named “Respect for Marriage Act” which actually destroys traditional marriage between one man and one woman, by granting federal benefits to gay couples (aka homosexual bonus pay) with YOUR tax dollars.

While many Republicans in the House may (or may not) oppose this radical bill, the prospects for passage of homosexual marriage in the U.S. Senate are strong, since pro-homosexual Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) controls the voting schedule, and could attach such a bill to the Pentagon budget, like he did last year to pass “Hate Crimes.”

If Barney Frank’s and Harry Reid’s DOMA repeal eventually passed conference committee with the House, it would no doubt be signed by President Obama, who last month ordered his “Justice” Department to stop defending the 1996 DOMA law passed by both houses of Congress and signed by President Clinton.  Without any defense lawyers, homosexual “marriage” could be imposed on all 50 states by liberal courts.  Last week, after we faxed 42,000 petitions to all Congressmen, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) appointed a committee who may soon appoint a lawyer to defend the law, since Obama won’t.

Bottom line:  DOMA is now in danger a third time, not only from activist courts, not only from the President, but now from the U.S. Congress, since most Democrats hate traditional marriage between one man and one woman.

Sadly, ZERO Senators have yet joined Speaker Boehner’s effort to appoint a lawyer to defend the 1996 DOMA law, compounding the problem severely.  Let’s send a message by faxing all 100 Senators our petition to defend traditional marriage and DOMA in court, and stop Barney Frank’s homosexual agenda in its tracks.

Please select here to SIGN URGENT PETITION to DEFEND MARRIAGE AND DOMA IN COURT, and STOP ENDORSING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE, and we will auto-fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!)

Christian Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ), pictured right, was asked by liberal blogger Scott Keyes concerning Obama’s and  Holder’s failure to defend DOMA, “I know Newt Gingrich came out and said if they don’t reverse course here, we ought to be talking about possibly impeaching either Attorney General Holder or even President Obama to try to get them to reverse course. Do you think that is something you would support?”  To this question Franks replied, “If it could gain the collective support, absolutely.”

The blogger also asked Franks:  ”What recourse does Congress have? Could you, for instance, defund the Department of Justice (DOJ) if they don’t reverse course and start to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act?”  To which Franks answered, “That’s probably the strongest leverage that we have.”  Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) may soon appoint a special counsel to defend the law.  Funds to the liberal DOJ could be reduced to pay conservative lawyers to defend DOMA, if enough Congressmen support that.

Former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore told WND.com that his organization, the Foundation for Moral Law, has filed an amicus brief to defend the federal definition of marriage between one man and one woman.

“I’m glad we didn’t elect to depend on the president to defend our law,” Judge Moore said. “I hope now Congress will step up and take up the battle where the president has stopped…Basically, he’s not upholding the rule of law.”  Let’s stand with Franks and Moore to demand Congress defend traditional marriage and the 1996 DOMA law.

Congress has not yet appointed a special counsel to defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act in a Connecticut case where two lesbians are demanding a $363,053 tax refund (aka homosexual “bonus pay”) from the federal government.  The two lesbian lovers were reportedly “married” in Canada but not America, and when one died, the other could no longer evade paying estate taxes, so the surviving lesbian hired the ACLU to sue the United States to recognize homosexual “marriage,” and collect their six figure tax-rebate check.  Then last month President Obama directed Attorney General Holder to stop defending the case, essentially conceding your tax dollars must now pay the lesbian couples taxes, and pay their ACLU lawyers, and recognize homosexual “marriage” as lawful, not only in Connecticut, but in all 50 states nationwide.

Yahoo News reported: “The Justice Department will also drop its defense in a similar case in Connecticut federal court with seven plaintiffs. Each plaintiff in the Connecticut case is a surviving same-sex partner who is being denied benefits because the federal government doesn’t recognize the marriage.  Attorney General Eric Holder has informed House Speaker John Boehner that he or other members of Congress may defend the law if they choose. No one has officially stepped forward yet to take on the defense.”

Did I read that correctly?  Not one single Senator is yet willing to defend the 1996 DOMA law that defines marriage between one man and one woman?  Why aren’t they sending lawyers to court?  I don’t understand their delay.  Let’s take action, by calling 202-224-3121 to demand YOUR Senator defend the lawsuit, and defend traditional marriage as only sacred between ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.  You could even call the same phone number 100 times to ask ALL Senators why they don’t care to defend traditional marriage in court, as Holder has invited them to do.  Don’t have time to make 100 phone calls? Please sign our petition, and we’ll auto-fax all 100 Sens with YOUR NAME on each page.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told students at Harvard on Thursday, “Congress is mulling its options,” after President Obama ordered his administration to stop defending the constitutionality of a federal law that bans recognition of gay marriage.

The Virginia Republican said he was “a little taken aback” after the administration said Wednesday that it would no longer fight legal challenges to the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as only between a man and a woman.

Cantor then rebuked Obama for lawlessness.  ”I’ve never been around when a president decided not to defend a law on the books and to me it is contrary to the sense that we are a nation of laws,” he said. “There is a process by which this country reviews its laws.”

Cantor said, “There are some options available to us legislatively that we’re looking at,” he said.  Several lawsuits have challenged the constitutionality of the 15-year-old law.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley filed a lawsuit attacking traditional marriage nationwide, which the Obama Administration will no longer defend, but will allow individual Congressmen to step in and defend the DOMA law.

Cantor said he believed that marriage should be between a man and a woman.  Is your Senator joining the lawsuit to defend traditional marriage?  Let’s petition them all.

Last month the Obama Administration ordered the Justice Department to stop defending the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] which prohibits homosexual “marriage” and defines traditional marriage between one man and one woman.  All 50 states will soon be forced to welcome homosexual “marriage” in federal court, unless their individual members of Congress intervene.  The Hill newspaper reports U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder left open the possibility that individual Congressmen would be permitted to defend DOMA law, if they choose to join lawsuits in place of the Obama Administration.

Associated Press reports, “In a major policy reversal, the Obama administration said Wednesday it will no longer defend the constitutionality of a federal law banning recognition of same-sex marriage.  Attorney General Eric Holder said President Barack Obama has concluded that the administration cannot defend the federal law that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman.”

At a December news conference, Obama said his position on gay marriage is “constantly evolving.”  [It's not evolving.  He wants gay marriage.]  But Traditional Values Coalition Director Andrea Lafferty said, “This unprecedented power grab demands the immediate reaction of the United States House of Representatives, who must do everything possible to fight back against what can only be described as a despotic and alarming attack on the rule of law.”

Congress has authority to defend traditional marriage DOMA lawsuits if the President won’t.  Will your Senator defend traditional marriage?  Let’s ask them. Call 202-225-3121, and then let’s bury them all in fax paper.

The Justice Department had defended the act in court until last month.  The move quickly drew praise from homosexual Congressman Barney Frank who told TPM news:  ”It’s great news…I got some indication they were thinking about their position and I urged them to go ahead with it. I thought there would be no political problem.”  The move drew swift rebuke from Speaker John Boehner (R-OH)’s spokesman Michael Steel:  ”While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, the president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation.”

But here’s the good news:  The Hill newspaper reports AG Holder left open the possibility that individual Congressmen would be permitted to defend DOMA law.  ”While both the wisdom and the legality of Section 3 of DOMA will continue to be the subject of both extensive litigation and public debate, this administration will no longer assert its constitutionality in court,” Holder said.  ”I have informed Members of Congress of this decision, so Members who wish to defend the statute may pursue that option.  The Department will also work closely with the courts to ensure that Congress has a full and fair opportunity to participate in pending litigation.”

But is your Senator willing to defend DOMA in court?  If not, then all 50 states will be forced to embrace homosexual “marriage” by President Obama’s failure to defend the law in courts everywhere, nationwide.  Let’s take action…

Please select here to SIGN URGENT PETITION to DEFEND MARRIAGE, DOMA, AND STOP ENDORSING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE, and we will automatically fax your petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen (saving you much time!)

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

God Bless you, in Jesus’ name,

Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt

NEW PETITION!  Reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the official motto of the United States and  encourage its display in all public buildings, public schools, other government institutions.  Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress.

House Judiciary votes today on “In God We Trust.”  Take Action!

The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will vote today on whether to reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the national motto of the United States, and encourage its public display in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions.

Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA)–> is leading the effort to honor God, by encouraging public display of “In God We Trust” in public schools and buildings, along with 64 co-sponsors (nearly all Republicans–see list far below), but the same bill failed last year when nearly all Nancy Pelosi-led Democrats voted against God.

“Over the past several years, there have been growing efforts to strip references to America’s religious heritage, including our national motto, from federal buildings, documents and ceremonies across the nation,” Forbes said last year.  He recently told Politico, “to a lot of people, the fact that this country was built on faith, the fact that faith is important, ‘In God We Trust’ is important.”

Atheist lawsuits have failed to get rid of the national motto, but succeeded in causing unfounded fear of its public display.  But the Supreme Court and appeals courts have affirmed “In God We Trust” as the national motto, and several state legislatures (notably Kentucky–see my own photo below) have recently displayed the motto in public places.

Let’s take a stand for God, and proclaim our Trust in Him.  Let’s demand all 535 Congressmen and Senators co-sponsor this excellent resolution, House Continuing Resolution 13.  Please sign our new petition today…

SELECT HERE to sign NEW PETITION to reaffirm “IN GOD WE TRUST” as the national motto, and encourage its display everywhere, and WE WILL FAX all 535 Members of the House and Senate instantly, (saving you much time!) AFFIRM OUR TRUST IN GOD.

Not surprisingly, anti-Chrisitan complainer Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State opposes anything that honors God.  ”No organization or group of graffiti artists is going around trying to cover up” the motto, Lynn told CNN, “the motto should be ‘In God, or in no God, or in multiple gods we trust.’”

Another atheist complainer, Michael Newdow, has repeatedly sued (and failed) to have the motto stricken.  Last month the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed “In God We Trust” by refusing to hear Newdow’s appeal.   Even the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the motto, and struck down legal challenges to it.

“Since the initial decision upholding the motto by the trial court in June of 2006, we have seen a steady stream of local governments find their courage to display the motto,” said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute.  PJI successfully defended the motto in court.  ”We believe that the denial of the petition for review by the Supreme Court has cleared away any remaining doubts that officials have,” he continued.

Some states like Kentucky are unafraid, thanks to good state reps like Democrat Tom Riner, who led the effort to post “In God We Trust” above the legislature floor:

HOT PETITION!  Defend military Chaplains and Christian troops from LGBT persecution. Please select, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition to all 535 members of Congress.

Military Chaplains to be charged with “Hate Speech?”  Even liberals predict…

The Pray In Jesus Name Project was featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week, with YOUR fax petition campaign to Congress getting noticed.  Reporter Ann Rogers interviewed military chaplains who fear persecution by the Obama Administration, especially now that open homosexual service is being fast-tracked in violation of the rights of many Christian troops.

“The majority of 3,000 chaplains are theologically conservative Christians, many of whom worry that they will be accused of hate speech if they preach that same-sex relationships are sinful,” the paper reports.

“The Pray in Jesus Name Project, which supports conservative chaplains, has called the Pentagon guidelines the ‘plan to purge Christians’ from chaplaincy.

“‘Now the Obama Administration is officially on record pressuring chaplains to quit the service if they cannot ‘reconcile’ with homosexual sin that violates their Christian conscience,’ said a petition on its website.

“The ‘purge’ is a clause that says chaplains have an option to leave the military that isn’t open to others who object to serving with gay troops. They can ask their faith group to withdraw its endorsement, which would trigger a discharge.

“Retired Brig. Gen. Douglas E. Lee, a former Army chaplain who endorses for six conservative Presbyterian bodies, is less alarmist, but shares the concern that protection of religious freedom may erode.

“The fundamental issue for us is morality, but the debate is being purposely framed as a civil rights or a discrimination issue,” he said.

“Homosexuality is ‘just another sin that affects soldiers, airmen, guardians and Marines. However no other category that we would declare as sin is … claiming civil rights to be a serial adulterer.’

“Any charges of hate speech will ‘depend on how the chaplains handle themselves,’ said the Rev. John Gundlach, a retired Navy chaplain and endorser for the United Church of Christ, which affirms gay sexuality.”

Charges of hate speech against military chaplains?  Even the pro-homosexual liberals admit the charges are coming.  The full article may be read here. But suffice it to say we need to petition Congress to protect our Christian troops and Chaplains right to open religious expression, the same way the Obama Administration is now flaunting open homosexual expression.

SELECT HERE to sign NEW PETITION to PROTECT CHAPLAINS, TROOPS, AND FREE RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION in the face of PERSECUTION, and we will fax 535 Members of the House and Senate instantly, (saving you much time!)  TAKE A STAND!

The Obama Administration has now begun writing policies that will result in discharge of Christian Chaplains and troops who cannot “reconcile” with homosexual sin.  Below are four shocking proof examples revealing how the purge has already begun, and why we must fight back NOW by demanding Congress investigate and pass strong laws defending our troops right to religious freedom starting with H.R. 268 which has not yet passed in 6 years, clearly defending military chaplains’ right to pray publicly “in Jesus name.”

1.  Report: Chaplains who can’t “reconcile” with homosexual sin will be separated.

The newly released Pentagon plan to purge Christians entitled “DADT Report: Support Plan for Implementation” specifically requires Christian chaplains to “reconcile” with homosexual sin or face administrative discharge. It repeats twice on pages 30 and 57: “If a chaplain is unable to reconcile serving with or caring for gay and lesbian Service members with his or her faith, the chaplain may request that the relevant endorsing agency withdraw its ecclesiastical endorsement for him or her. This would trigger an administrative separation under DoDI 1304.28.”  Wow.  Now the Obama Administration is officially on record pressuring Chaplains to quit the service if they cannot “reconcile” with homosexual sin that violates their Christian conscience.  This “plan” alone should alarm the new conservative Congress to the need for bold protection of Chaplains’ rights.  Let’s help…

2.  Chaplains will have religious “freedom” only in context of Sunday chapel.

The Pentagon report dubiously promises to protect Chaplains’ freedoms, “in the context of their religious ministry,” claiming they won’t need to change their sermons, counseling, prayers, or worship.  But speaking from personal experience as a former Navy chaplain, I can decode the secret word “context” to mean chaplains clearly WON’T have religious freedom outside of that “context.”  As proof, in my case the Navy twice declared the only safe religious “context” was ONLY inside a Sunday chapel.  As a chaplain I was punished in writing three times for quoting the Bible EVEN inside chapel, but since the optionally-attended worship service was held on a Saturday, not a Sunday, Navy investigators sided with the Commander who punished my sermons.  Later a Navy judge ruled that my Thursday prayers outside the White House were “not public worship” which was only safe in the context of Sunday chapel, instead finding me guilty of the misdemeanor crime of “worshipping in public” in uniform which he said was NOT protected by federal law, so my commander could order me to stop “worshipping in public” in uniform.  Say what?   Because my prayers in Jesus name were not said in the proper “context,” they were properly punished, the Navy judge ruled to punish the chaplain.

3.  Battalion Commander relieved of duty for refusing to “endorse” open sin.

One Senior Officer in the Army National Guard has already been relieved of his battalion-level commanding officer job after stating his conscience would not allow him to participate in “re-education” training that will soon force young Christians to learn how to respect homosexual sin.  ”Today is my last day in command,” the career Army officer told WND.com, anonymously for fear of losing his retirement.  ”From now on I’ll be a staff officer without a bunch of people working under me, so I won’t have the moral conflict with having to enforce this new policy on them…When I retire I will speak on the record. I don’t know how much I can do before that. Sooner or later I’m going to get told to shut up. If I continue to make statements, it might become a witch hunt. I don’t want to lose my retirement unless it comes to the point they tell me I have to attend the [pro-'gay'] training.”

4.  Left demands punishment of Christian Colonel who is taking a stand.

Atheist bloggers and anti-Christian complainers are demanding punishment for one heroic career Army officer, Lt. Col. Stacy L. Maxey, who said he will exercise his legal right to take a stand for Jesus against homosexual sin by publicly expressing his Christian beliefs.

In a letter to Stars and Stripes entitled “Won’t Choose To Deal With It,” Lt. Col. Maxey took a stand, and wrote:

“So let me see if I understand this: The Defense Department is proposing to let people who choose to live a homosexual lifestyle serve ‘openly’ in the armed forces, but won’t allow Christians such as myself the freedom to ‘openly’ share the good news of Christ with our co-workers — as the faith we’ve chosen requires?

“DOD officials plan to tell servicemembers who have a problem with those living a homosexual lifestyle to ‘learn to deal with it,’ but they are prepared to counsel and/or slap Christians with paperwork if someone feels “offended” by our witness? Wearing sexual lifestyle choices on your sleeve is OK, but not your faith?

“Military chaplains who teach that homosexuality is antithetical to and incompatible with Christianity (which it is) can either muzzle their objections or ‘leave,’ but gays will be permitted to parade their lifestyle choices in front of all?

“Bottom line: So I’m free to express myself if I’m a homosexual, but not if I’m a Christian? What disgraceful hypocrisy.

“Here’s the truth: I will continue to witness to who I want, when I want and where I want. My commitment to my God supersedes my commitment to the DOD and, if officials are upset about that, then I guess they can ‘learn to deal with it.’

“Department of Defense? More like the Department of Double Standards.”

–Lt. Col. Stacy L. Maxey, Afghanistan

This officer deserves a bronze star for his courage.  But do you think he’s being hailed as a hero by the pro-homosexual community?  No, the atheist complainers have demanded this Christian be punished.  Let’s take a stand for Jesus, for our troops, for freedom, and demand Congress protect our chaplains and troops free speech and religion…
