A Candidate Survey

Several weeks ago, Republican and Democrat candidates for Congress and Senate were mailed and urged to complete Campaign for Liberty’s 2010 Federal Survey.This survey asked questions to find out what each candidate believes about the issues that are important to constitutional government and liberty.Click here to see how the candidates in your area answered.

WE did not sue AZ...

Once again, the despicable conduct of the Obama Administration compels us to do a "reality check," this time in regard to the lawsuit filed by Eric Holder's Justice Department against the State of Arizona. Put aside, for the moment, the abject hypocrisy of his selective devotion to the law, wherein criminal actions are ignored or dismissed if committed by such thugs as King Samir Shabazz of the New Black Panthers against common citizens attempting to vote, while decent and honorable efforts to maintain the integrity of one's country or one's state are targeted for legal dissolution.

Of course the ruling was going to be against Arizona. Susan Bolton, the Federal Judge "deciding" the case was a Clinton appointee. Enough said. From the start, this proceeding never had anything to do with the defense of United States law, nor any other constitutional consideration. It was predetermined on the basis of political ideology. Bill Clinton, like Barack Obama is a leftist. And his judicial appointees, without exception, have been likewise.

Yet Holder's duplicity and corruption go much further than even this abominable event, and aside from the immediate danger posed to the people of Arizona, they represent an enormous breach in the structure of this nation's entire legal system. An out of control justice department not only fails to provide safeguards for all decent Americans; it stands as a threat to the preservation of "domestic tranquility," their birthright. And that should be its real goal and purpose.

For starters, the very name attributed to this action, "The United States Versus Arizona" howls with untruth. The foundations of this nation, based in the principles of a constitutionally cohesive federation of sovereign states, would suggest that if the United States Department of Justice were ever to engage in legal activity under such a heading, it might require a shred of support from "We the People" across the nation. But aside from the elitists of the liberal political and media establishment, no such support exists.

Instead, Americans overwhelmingly support the actions of Arizona, and desire to see the law implemented and carried forward to success for their own sakes as well. Arizona's fate depends on it, as does that of all America. The very argument that Arizona is "usurping federal law," on which the Holder case was fabricated, lends credence to the fact that, at one time, national concern over the illegal invasion was sufficient to establish and implement federal statutes to accomplish the very thing Arizona is now attempting to do.

Were federal officials determinedly and diligently confronting the influx of illegal invaders, Arizona law enforcement operations in this jurisdiction might well be perceived as an unnecessary interference. But of course nothing of the kind is happening in the Grand Canyon State. Federal enforcement has been purposefully nonexistent. And it was for that very reason that Arizona took upon itself the task of dealing with the invasion.

Holder, in his flowery opposition to SB 1070, engaged in the most blatant degree of deceit imaginable. In a purely political venture, the head of the United States Department of Justice sent his team of lawyers into a courtroom armed with outright lies, but comfortable nevertheless with the fact that such would be sufficient for Bolton to "rule" in their favor.

Did the citizens of the other forty-nine states really want to declare war on Arizona for attempting to protect its borders and restore its legal and cultural integrity? Yet that fallacious supposition was precisely what this federal lawsuit represented. In reality Holder, or more specifically his boss and ideological kindred Barack Obama, no more speak for the rest of this nation on illegal immigration than on socialized healthcare, the economic destruction of the Gulf Coast (not by the oil spill, but from the unwarranted drilling moratorium), nationalization of banks and manufacturing industries, or the fanatical effort to outlaw and suppress free speech prior to the upcoming elections.

It is worthwhile to ponder the degree to which the function of our nation's government has been debased and corrupted, leaving us at this abysmal milestone. Rather than allowing the State of Arizona to "secure the blessings of liberty" to its current generation and their posterity, the ability to do so, formerly unquestioned, has now been thwarted by the action of a single Federal Judge who simply chose not to uphold the law as already written.

In other words, the veracity of state sovereignty is under attack. Once the Obama cabal managed to get their case before the right individual, they summarily declared Arizona unable to defend its own citizens from the criminal destruction and taking of their state. And worst of all, this abomination was committed ostensibly in the name of the rest of the American people.
Arizona's ability to maintain a worthwhile social structure within its own borders is foundational to its proper functioning as a state, and along with similar action from other states, is critical to the future of the nation. If it can be dismissed and revoked with such ease at the whim of a judge, at the bidding of a "Justice" Department that has repeatedly exhibited its contempt for true, even-handed justice, no aspect of real America remains immune to the burgeoning menace.
Selective "enforcement" of the law is a sure sign that those in power are using the nation's entire legal apparatus to their own ends. Holder has engaged in such behavior on multiple occasions, for the expressed purpose of advancing his own perverse, leftist, and by definition, anti-American ideology. That he would do so to stop SB 1070 is an attack on the good people of Arizona. That he would presume to do so in the name of this United States is an enormously greater affront, and in fact a crime, against every decent citizen of this country.

Amnesty Law

NEW OBAMA OFFICIALS' MEMOS SHOW PLAN TO AMNESTY MILLIONS WITHOUT ANY VOTE IN CONGRESS

The U.S. Senators who have been demanding answers from the Administration about a rumored administrative amnesty have now revealed shocking memos from top Obama officials. They show Obama Administration officials offering a detailed plan that would offer actual or de facto amnesty to millions of illegal aliens without Congress ever taking a vote.

In this way, the Administration would be able to reap the thanks of all the cheap-labor, outlaw industries relying on illegal labor, as well as the entire pro-illegal voter base. But no Member of Congress would have a vote for amnesty on his/her record while facing elections. A day after a federal judge ruled that the people of Arizona can't enforce immigration laws against illegal aliens, this memo shows a grand plan for the Obama Administration to ensure that most illegal aliens get work permits, keep their jobs and prevent unemployed Americans from getting the jobs instead.
===
HEY! Wait a minute. Wouldn't Amnesty be a LAW? Doesn't the Constitution say that it is ONLY the Legislative branch of our government that has authority to make laws? The Executive branch of the government can only sign into law and enforce that which the Legislative branch has passed and the Judicial branch of the government cannot make laws but only make judicial rulings on laws that have been passed by the Legislative branch. Right? How are they getting away with this kind of stuff?

No Wonder

No Wonder

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, about 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr..
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

The TEN

Good day in the house of the Lord. My sermon today was on "Biblical Economics" and the outline can be seen as usual on the front page of our church website here. A while back I preached a series on Christ and the 10 Commandments and I saw this cute remark taken from the journal of a seasoned Sunday School teacher regarding class discussion of the 10 Commandments...

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year old class. After explaining the commandment to "Honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."
===

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

40 or more years of Obama politics from the bench

There is a chance Americans can roll back ObamaCare...
There is a chance Americans can stop the Obama-led march to statism... There's even a chance that Americans can wrestle back power from the government...

But should Elena Kagan be confirmed as an associate of the U.S. Supreme Court, Obama's radical legal philosophy will impact you, your family and our nation for the next 40 years and there is positively nothing you or anyone
else can do about it... Her confirmation would be permanent!

Her disrespect for the U.S. Constitution and her passion
for using the court to bring about radical social change
will irrevocably skew and undermine the values that have
made our nation great.

As citizens, we are duty bound to speak up...

This is YOUR TIME, and Grassfire Nation has a
way to inject you directly and immediately into this vital
debate gripping our nation...

Say the word, and we will hand-deliver personalized letters
on your behalf to key members of the Senate-- including
your two Senators -- prior to these two historic and
potential disastrous Kagan votes!

Good conservative news

By God's grace, CitizenLink® and our associated groups in the states have helped to advance truth and righteousness in the culture, with results that are tremendously encouraging. Let me share with you a few of those results:

Pre-born children will have a better chance at life thanks to important ultrasound legislation passed in several states. As a result, abortion-minded women will have a chance to see their babies onscreen, and we know how effective that is in saving lives.

Critical religious liberty protections were passed.

Deceptive gambling schemes have been defeated in numerous states—sparing tens of thousands of individuals and families the devastating consequences of gambling addiction.

And there's more:
Public-school textbooks around the nation will have more truth about American history—and less political correctness—thanks to a huge win in one key state.

Parental rights have been strengthened with a landmark victory in another state. The central role of parents is protected when it comes to education, sexual materials, medical records and much more.

Decency and the innocence of children have been safeguarded by the successful defeat of a bill that would have allowed adult bookstores to flourish.

And the homosexual lobby has been dealt severe setbacks by the defeat of bills in two states. One of those would have—in the name of transgender rights—allowed men to use women's bathrooms.

Those victories came from all over the country1 in states like Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.

But without friends like you on our team—providing the support that you do—none of this would have happened. So I mean it when I say thank you for the impact that you have had around the country.

EQUIPPING OUR ALLIES FOR EFFECTIVE ACTION

There's another way that you help to win state battles like these when you invest in CitizenLink. That is by helping us to form and equip state-level organizations that then lead the efforts at the local level.

Nearly every one of the victories I've recounted were led at the local level by groups that CitizenLink helped organize. When CitizenLink (then Focus on the Family Action) was started in 2004, few of the Focus-associated state organizations had family advocacy arms (such as CitizenLink is for Focus on the Family®). Since then, we've helped most of our more than three dozen state groups establish such family advocacy arms, and we regularly help them be more effective through training, networking and strategic advice. This summer, in fact, CitizenLink team members trained more than 30 of these groups on key aspects of organizational effectiveness.
This behind-the-scenes work is not something I talk a lot about, but it's another way that your prayers and support are building the infrastructure of the pro-family movement around the country.

WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN: PREPARING FOR VICTORY THIS FALL

Still, despite these recent wins, we have our work cut out for us in the states. That's because the other side—particularly those devoted to redefining marriage—have poured huge resources into state races in the last two elections.

Frankly, they've done this because they've learned a new axiom of modern politics: When the people vote, marriage wins. Thus, homosexual mega-donors like Tim Gill have poured millions into state legislative races. Their goal? To defeat pro-marriage legislators and give control to politicians who will block votes on marriage amendments in their legislatures. As a result, in many states that don't allow amendments to be put on the ballot by petition, the people never have a chance to vote.

That's what happened in Indiana, where Democrats took over the state House in 2006, and Speaker Pat Bauer has blocked votes on marriage ever since; similar story in Pennsylvania.
It's what happened in Iowa as well. As a result, the state Supreme Court was free to impose same-sex unions on the Hawkeye State. And in New Hampshire, the strategy actually resulted in narrow legislative passage of same-sex marriage last year.

Bro Russell taught on the book of Galatians in our Sunday School this morning. I preached on "The Five C's of Grace" in the worship service and the outline is on our church website here.

I attended a meet the candidates forum for the 29th District here in Tacoma earlier this week and was disturbed to see such a lack of turn out by the voters in my District. I don't know what to think about it. I thought by now the voters would be more interested in meeting the candidates in person so that they might be more informed when they cast their ballots. Maybe THIS is why we wound up with the disconnected characters we have in office now. I like :

Terry Harder for 29th District Senator.
http://www.terryharder.org/
Steve Cook for 29th District position 1 Representative.
http://www.stcookcampaign.org/
Jesse Miller for 29th District position 2 Representative.

In the 6th Congressional District I'm hoping Jesse Young with unseat Norm Dix.

Also, it is imperative that we remove Patty Murray from the US Senate.
I was originally for Craig Williams but he had to drop out of the race.
I was leaning more toward Clint Didier after Craig dropped out. Many are supporting Dino Rossi but I'm not comfortable with Dino. He is a good guy but seems distant and not really fired up about my concerns. I attended my regular TACOMA 912 Project meeting Saturday night and met Paul Akers. I had seen Paul's ad on TV and wasn't really impressed by it. It seemed like a Madison Avenue type ad in which he rattled off a bunch of political cliche's that are what most people probably want to hear. It looked like a professional big money type of thing that didn't really give me any assurance that it wasn't just another political sales pitch. But after meeting Paul in person and hearing him talk for more than an hour I have been persuaded to move over to his camp. I have a DVD that tells more about him. The more I learn the more I like. I am wishing now that Clint would throw his support behind Paul.
Dick Morris, Author and Fox News Analyst, believes Paul is the candidate that can defeat Patty Murray.

April May June 2010

This is our Quarterly Report for the 2nd quarter of 2010. For outlines of Lord’s Day morning sermons see our church website. We finished a series on The Resurrection of Christ and started one on Christ and the Ten Commandments. In our afternoon services we are studying the Articles of Faith. Brother Russell turned his Sunday school class over to Brother Turner. For information on my two books you may check them out on the "Author Page" at the Xlibris Website: www.xlibris.com/Killion.html or contact me personally for a special "Author’s Discount" if you are interested.

We missed attending the Bible conference in Mt. Morris, Michigan this year and the one in Dover, Tennessee but heard that they were very good. We are looking forward to attending the First Annual Bible Conference of the Bible Believers Baptist Church in Naples, Idaho over 4th of July weekend. We had Brother Rick King come professing salvation and requesting scriptural baptism this quarter and we may have the baptism in Idaho this weekend. Several from the church here are traveling over for the meeting at BBBC.

Lines of communication have opened again with Alex Zazhitko in Chernigov, Ukraine. You may remember we almost went there in 09 to baptize, ordain and the organization of a Sovereign Grace Landmark Baptist Church but everything suddenly shut down. It turns out that certain false brethren were sending forged emails to Alex as if they were from me saying that we were no longer interested in the work there. I was told that he had abandoned the work and moved to southern Ukraine to take a mega church but that was not true. He is now in contact with someone in Mississippi that is working with him. Pray for them.

Our church attendance has been up and down and still needs more improvement. Our First Friday of the Month Fellowship continues to be a blessing. Guest speakers this quarter were Jim Tweet, Jim Hunt and Jim Turner. Our Tract a Day Club recorded 331 tracts handed out for this quarter. Pray that we would be more effectual in reaching out to the lost and unchurched. Brother Turner and Brother Bob Ellis finished chemo treatments and are both doing very well thank the Lord. Sister Cookie is recovering from heart surgery and cataract surgery. Pray for her as there are complications with her diabetes and also glaucoma.

Our Missionaries thank you for your prayers. Brother Bob Ellis in Ireland saw his cancer Dr. on 4/22 about the latest PET scan and after another cat scan that went well. They are now working on setting up a bone marrow transplant. Brother Cresencio Baldemor, in the Philippines is doing well. He had his 84th birthday in June. Funds are needed for Lawa-an building project and travel expenses. Pray also for political peace and safety from fanatics of other religions that are a threat to Christians in certain places on Mindanao. Remember our older members in prayer and those in distant places. Thanks again for your faithful prayers. Pray for those in uniform and for our country; we need God now more than ever. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
AMEN.

Do YOU have one?

Happy Independence Day

We had a good trip over to Idaho this week end and I preached Friday night and Saturday morning. We also had a special baptism service at the lake and brother Rick King was added to our assembly by the ordinance of baptism. God gave us traveling mercies as we traveled back home yesterday afternoon. My sermon today at TLBC was on "Christ and the 9th Commandment" To see the outline, click HERE.
