Scouting Scandal

Championing Pastors to Transform America

Dear Pastor Killion, Next week, on Thursday, May 23rd, between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the 1,434 members of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America will vote on whether to change Scout standards to admit scouts regardless of "sexual orientation." FRC and a coalition of pro-family, pro-Scout groups have worked hard to let Americans know what is happening. Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to over 100 key Scout executives and commissioners with a single click, and check out the other resources available on this site. Three requests: 1) Please include the Scouts in your remarks this Sunday and call for prayer; 2) Urge everyone to pray between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM next Thursday; 3) Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to key Scout executives and commissioners. This is critically important to the future of the Scouts and the moral fiber of our nation. Standing for Faith, Family and Freedom, Dr. Kenyn M. Cureton Vice President for Church Ministries Family Research Council www.frc.org

=========================================================
When I made a prayer request about this issue, I was told by a person that claims to be deeply involved in the scouting program that this decision has already been made and is only being made public this Thursday .  In other words, no sense praying about it.  They have decided to open up the program to openly "gay" people but not allow them to be in places of leadership.  Hmmmm.  Well, maybe so, but I cannot help but feel that I need to keep praying about the issue.  

God in heaven knows my heart on the matter and I want everyone else to know that I want the "morally straight part" of the Scout Pledge to stay intact as it was when I was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout.  Homosexuality was not, is not and shall never be a part of the "traditional " Boy Scouts of America.  The sodomites with all of their money and political shenanigans may be pulling strings to push their agenda on everyone in scouting like they have done elsewhere regarding the definition of marriage and so on but, if they are successful for now - that will not be the end of the story.  God is not mocked.  

My prayer is that those that have embraced this twisted ideology will repent before it is everlastingly too late for them.  When the ungodly agenda of open sodomy was introduced into the scouting programs of other countries like Canada and England, the program lost at least one half of their membership due to the fact that many of the sponsors of local scouting programs were in faith based organizations and churches that could not endorse sodomy as acceptable.  

Perhaps after this week the only thing that will change is that we will have two choices for scouting in America, the Old Traditional Boy Scouts of America and the New Homosexual Boy Scouts of America.  May God have mercy on us if we keep going like we are going in this country today.

IRS Abuse

We need more answers about IRS abuse of power

On May 10^th, America learned that the IRS – perhaps the most frightening of all government agencies – has been singling out and targeting conservative groups, including Tea Party groups.  This admission from the IRS confirms what many of us had already suspected.  The IRS has, in fact, been delaying our Tea Party Patriots application and harassing those of us who wanted to form local Tea Party chapter organizations.  In some extreme cases, the IRS went after Tea Party local leaders and audited their family members.

Obama said the IRS’s actions are “unacceptable.”  Really?  He needs to own up to the fact that his henchmen's actions are also un-American and un-Constitutional.  The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to free speech, which includes the right to political speech and the right to associate and form groups with other like-minded individuals.  The Tea Party movement, which began organically in 2010 in response to government excess, has attracted millions of regular Americans.  The Tea Party movement is, at its core, the embodiment of the American spirit.  The Tea Party movement sprang up in response to the government’s abuses of its powers, and this latest stunt from the IRS confirms for many of us why the Tea Party is so necessary.

In response to this outrageous revelation, the House Ways & Means Committee immediately held a hearing to question Steven Miller, the former acting commissioner of the IRS who resigned because of the scandal, but only one month before his term would have ended. The questions at the hearing covered a broad spectrum: When did you learn about this targeting?  What actions did you take after learning about this issue?  Why did you previously lie to the Ways & Means Committee?  Why did you mislead the American people about this problem?  But Mr. Miller is apparently suffering from temporary amnesia because the only answer he offered was: “I don’t remember.”  The systemic abuse of power that took place for nearly three years at the IRS is simply too far-reaching and widespread for Mr. Miller to get away with not remembering what took place.

Americans expect that our government will enforce its laws and rules – especially its tax laws – with fairness and equal application.   Congress needs to keep asking questions and demanding more substantive answers than the evasive responses Mr. Miller provided.

Steve Stockman

Dear patriot,

The United Nations’ so-called “Arms Trade Treaty” makes me sick! 

I’m Congressman Steve Stockman, and this UN Gun Grab is the biggest threat to gun owners in decades.

It requires an international license to own a gun.

It requires registration of all guns worldwide.

It bans all transfers of semi-automatic firearms

It even requires the confiscation and destruction of any gun not approved by the UN. 

Your gun.

Right now anti-gun and global lobbyists are infesting the halls of the Capitol, twisting arms and offering favors in exchange for the U.S. ratifying this gun-grabbing atrocity.

Obama is 100% on board and using every corrupt tool in his arsenal to approve it.

When international forces threaten American sovereignty and freedom, real Americans fight back!

I know you’re a real American, fighting for the rights of every man.

I hope you will join me.

And we must fight the UN Gun Ban without fear and without mercy.

Courage is the thing that keeps us free.

Working with my friend Senator Rand Paul I’ve introduced legislation to overturn Obama’s anti-gun Executive Orders. (HR 410)

I’ve also introduced legislation to:

>> Repeal deadly, failed, “Gun Free School Zones.” (HR 35)

>> Protect veterans from having their guns confiscated simply because they talked to a counselor about their wartime experiences. (HR 577)

But this UN Gun Grab is an entirely different threat.

That’s why I introduced HR 575, The Second Amendment Protection Act, which states Congress must not approve any treaty that threatens the Second Amendment.

But it won’t pass unless Americans rise up and demand it.

That means putting together an aggressive grassroots campaign to alert patriots and blow the whistle on the UN Gun Grab.

You’d be stunned how many patriots have no idea this is happening.

Help me raise a grassroots army and stop the UN Gun Grab.

All I ask of you right now is to please go here and chip in $10 or more to help me alert and organize patriots.

This UN Gun Grab is much worse than anything Clinton ever did.

I will fight it as hard as I can.

But I need you with me.

My Second Amendment Protection Act can stop the UN Gun Grab.

With courage and a unified patriot front, we can do this.

Please go here to chip in $10 or more to help me.

Warmest wishes,

 

CONGRESSMAN STEVE STOCKMAN

Constitutional Republican from Texas

NO more money for murder

SEN. BLUMENTHAL REJECTS
'GAME CHANGING' PRO-LIFE RESOLUTION

CONGRESS, MEDIA MAY IGNORE
INFANTICIDE, BUT WE SHALL NOT!

'GAY' JASON COLLINS STORY RECEIVED
1970% MORE COVERAGE THAN GOSNELL

Tell Washington – No More Child-Killing

"It will have blood, they say. Blood will have blood. Stones have been known to move, and trees to speak. Augurs and understood relations have by maggot pies and choughs and rooks brought forth the secret'st man of blood." (Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Act 3, Scene 4)
As reported by The Daily Caller, a Senate resolution put forth by Constitutionalist Utah Republican Mike Lee aimed at investigating and correcting the policies which led to and enabled the illegal infanticide and gruesome abortion practices of Philadelphia child-killer Kermit Gosnell was BLOCKED Monday evening by an "unknown senator" who objected its unanimous passage.
The sense of resolution found so repugnant?
"The sense of the Senate that Congress and the States should investigate and correct abusive, unsanitary, and illegal abortion practices."

TELL CONGRESS – NO MORE MONEY FOR MURDER
DEFUND HHS MANDATE, OBAMACARE, PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Senator Lee's press secretary later identified the senator who opposed the Gosnell hearings resolution as Senator Rich Blumenthall of Connecticut.
"Congress has the responsibility to investigate and conduct hearings on abortions performed near, at, or after viability in the United States, public policies regarding such, and evaluate the extent to which such abortions involve violations of the natural right to life of infants who are born alive or are capable of being born alive, and therefore are entitled to equal protection under the law," the Lee resolution states.
"It is difficult to imagine why anyone would object to a non-binding resolution calling on Congress to investigate these alleged disturbing, horrific, and illegal abortion practices committed by Kermit Gosnell and others," Lee said in a statement.
BUT WE KNOW WHY – because recognizing pre-term babies as human beings deserving of ANY rights or protections would undermine the entire "pro-choice" movement, which ignores conception as the miracle of God and a blessing to be respected and cherished, choosing instead to annihilate innocent life as a threat to so-called women's "rights"!

TELL CONGRESS – NO MORE MONEY FOR MURDER
DEFUND HHS MANDATE, OBAMACARE, PLANNED PARENTHOOD

The depraved objection by dogmatic Leftist Blumenthall was filed against Senator Mike Lee's resolution calling for a review of public policies that led to the bloody and illegal abortion practices of Dr. Kermit Gosnell and others. Lee attempted to "hotline" the resolution on Monday evening, but Blumenthall blocked unanimous passage of the language.
Lee added: "With numerous reports of similar instances surfacing around the country, the need for greater regulatory oversight of these so-called clinics is so plainly obvious it strains the limits of disbelief to think all members of the Senate would not agree. The resolution is simply an affirmation that we as a country – a moral and compassionate society – have an interest in acting to save the lives of innocent women and children, and to prevent these kinds of heinous acts from happening to anyone again."

Taking IRS to court

	Take Action  |  Contribute   Like     f   Like this on Facebook   Larry, Next week, the ACLJ will directly confront the IRS. As the IRS scandal escalates, with new evidence showing that the IRS even targeted people who "criticize how the country is being run" for extra and unconstitutional scrutiny, our message is clear. Enough is enough. Today, we're working closely with Members of Congress to demand full information and full accountability from the Obama Administration. But next week we're escalating our attack. We intend to file suit against key officials in the IRS on behalf of potentially dozens of conservative organizations. While Congress is doing critical work, this fight is too important to leave in its hands. We have to take the fight directly to the IRS in federal court. As we do, lend us your voice. Let the Obama Administration know that you stand squarely against its outrageous abuses of power. Sign the petition to end IRS abuse.

IRS & Freedom Foundation

Dear Larry, We had to check: Has the IRS been watching the Freedom Foundation? The short answer: Yes. After reviewing our website traffic since the beginning of last year, here's what we found: State government has been all over our site-well over 2,000 visits. That's what we want, of course, since we offer a lot of resources to state and local policymakers.   The IRS has been on our site multiple times. Those visits were relatively brief, but we had two long visits from the White House itself.   Other federal agencies browsing myFreedomFoundation.org? The Department of Justice, FBI ... even Homeland Security (34 times!). I hope all these agencies were just looking for advice ... but that seems unlikely, especially after the last week of revelations about the IRS's gross violations of civil liberties. The truth is that massive bureaucratic government is simply incompatible with the protection of individual rights . An agency like the IRS-whose nearly 100,000 employees hold the power to demand an annual accounting from just about every American worker and business-is, at best, a Sword of Damocles* hanging over all our heads. This is why we at the Freedom Foundation do what we do. Our mission is to advance individual liberty along with the free markets and limited, accountable government that allow personal freedom to flourish. From our litigation team to our media outlet to our citizen trainers and policy analysts, we're proud to defend freedom. And we're not afraid of the IRS. Thanks for being part of the Freedom team. You can help make the team even bigger if you contribute today. For Freedom, Trent England Executive Vice President   P.S. Today is the last day to file for election this year. Get the details and find out who's filed. Not happy with your choices? You or someone you know can run, but you must file today by 4 p.m. *Not sure about the Sword of Damocles? According to Greek legend, Damocles was a courtier of Dionysius II, King of Syracuse. He remarked to Dionysius how wonderful it must be to have such wealth and power. Dionysius let Damocles take the throne, but he had a great sword hung over it, suspended by a single horsehair, to show the great danger that so often accompanies great power.

EDITOR'S NOTE GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE! How much of a joke has "accountability" become in this Administration? Contrary to Barack Obama's tough-guy rhetoric, no one has lost his job over the IRS scandal yet. The Acting IRS Commissioner, Steven Miller - who sat before a House Ways and Means hearing on Friday and answered "I don't know" to virtually every question - is departing on schedule in June. The current head of the tax-exempt organizations department is retiring gracefully, without any hint of shame or punishment... after only one week on the job. And his predecessor, Sarah Hall Ingram - the woman who was actually in charge of that fabulously corrupt department during years of abuse? Why, she got promoted. She's going to be in charge of ObamaCare enforcement now. How is it possible for any government to function with such a low level of trust from the public - let alone a massive super-government that claims the power to regulate our daily lives? The concept of "accountability" is an absolute farce, coming from people who claim they learn about the activities of their own subordinates by watching the news. And the only news channel to report on the biggest Obama scandals is the one the President routinely demonizes. -- John Hayward Senior Writer TODAY'S TOP STORIES

Cost of Amnesty

Urgent Action    The Cost of Amnesty Amnesty for 11 million will increase debt by $6.3 trillion And that doesn't count costs of 22 million additional legal immigrants in just 10 years! Dear Larry Killion , You've probably heard by now that the Heritage Foundation has determined that the immigration bill's amnesty will add $6.3 trillion to the debt over the life of the amnestied aliens. What you might not have realized is that's only the cost of giving amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens. But the immigration bill would also import an additional 22 million immigrants in the first decade alone -- and millions more guest workers. The sad truth is that most of the immigrants that qualify under this bill will receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes, despite the bill's attempt to restrict a few benefits within the first ten years. Just imagine the cost of subsidizing the less-educated immigrants and all the displaced American workers! This is like increasing the U.S. workforce by one third! The highest number of jobs ever created in America in a single decade was 20 million. Already, 20 million Americans can't find full-time work. Just imagine having to find jobs for 40-50 million more workers in just ten years. And that's not even including the millions of graduating students! Imagine how many more trillions of dollars we'll have to spend on social programs for all those jobless workers and working poor! Imagine what will happen to wages when companies can replace nurses, construction workers, engineers and computer programmers with laborers imported from the developing world! If you have never had the chance to donate to NumbersUSA,this month is your PERFECT opportunity! Send $25 and get the hot new immigration film you'll share with all your friends! Stopping the Gang of 8 bill is the biggest legislative crisis we've ever faced. We're outspent 100 to 1, and we're outmanned on Capitol Hill by 170 to 1. To defeat the bill, we need 230 donors from Washington this month. Please be one of them! or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate Larry , while you're considering those things, I need to tell you about a powerful documentary that explores the cost of amnesty, including the potential effect on our national security! Reviews are glowing. Dennis Michael Lynch has created a devastatingly powerful movie, They Come to America 2: the Cost of Amnesty. [E]verything is coming through that border, day labor, drugs and terrorists, and nobody is doing anything to stop them. --Dennis Michael Lynch From the movie: Dennis' fake anthrax bomb. Now, it's marked radioactive, too! What you'll see in this movie: See drug dealers casually hang out in public parks along the border, waiting for their shipments. Watch Dennis smuggle a highly conspicuous, fake anthrax bomb across the border, drive it to Virginia and load it onto an auto train, all without ever being searched or questioned. Listen to the brazen lies of politicians be exposed. You'll see why Fox News is reporting that this video could kill the immigration bill. We're not selling DVDs of this movie. Instead, we're giving them out of appreciation to any donor who gives at least $25, within the next 7 days. It only takes $25 to get your DVD, but this is our biggest legislative crisis in our history, so we need people giving at their absolute maximum to defeat this bill. If you have never had the chance to donate to NumbersUSA,this month is your PERFECT opportunity! Donate at least $25 within the next seven days, and get the hot new immigration film you'll share with all your friends! or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate From Dennis Lynch's movie: a border sign written in Spanish, English and CHINESE! Let me be frank: Without your help to NumbersUSA, this immigration bill will pass. Not enough people would know about the tens of millions of additional immigrants this so-called "reform" bill would bring in. The mainstream news media, the Obama administration, lawmakers from both parties, and even churches are describing the bill as a "reform" that is simply going to solve the problem of illegal immigration. Without us, not enough voters would know the truth. Not enough news and talk show hosts would. Not enough of your elected officials would. They wouldn't know that the bill would encourage illegal immigration to increase. They'd only hear the lies that it would shore up enforcement. They wouldn't know, that contrary to such lies, it puts millions of foreign workers in line ahead of American citizens. But we need your help. We're up to 2.3 million strong to flood Congress, and even social media, with messages alerting our nation to the destruction that this bill would unleash. We have told you about the financial cost and employment impact on American workers, but this movie also powerfully addresses the potential damage to national security that an over-sized amnesty would cause. If you saw Dennis' Lynch's last movie, or especially if you didn't, you have to see this new film! NumbersUSA helps 2.3 million members talk to their elected officials. And we educate millions more through ad campaigns. If you have never had the chance to donate to NumbersUSA,this month is your PERFECT opportunity! Send $25 and get the hot new immigration film you'll share with all your friends! Stopping the Gang of 8 bill is the biggest legislative crisis we've ever faced. We're outspent 100 to 1, and we're outmanned on Capitol Hill by 170 to 1. To defeat the bill, we need 230 donors from Washington this month.
