2 Days of Danger

Dear Friend of Liberty,

These next 48 hours are potentially the most dangerous time of the year, as Harry Reid and his statist allies in Washington, D.C. decide whether to head home for the election or try to sneak in a last minute vote to steal liberty, spend money, or empower big labor and other statist allies.

Thankfully, Senator Jim DeMint has taken a stand for liberty and promised to place a hold on any legislation not agreed to by both parties. This does not guarantee Reid won’t try to force a controversial vote in the next two days, but a hold can only be overridden by scheduling a time-consuming cloture vote.

For the moment, it appears after our defeat of the DISCLOSE Act last week that Harry Reid and his cohorts are almost ready to tuck tail and head home, where you and hundreds of thousands of other C4L members around the nation are waiting to hold them accountable for their votes over the past two years.

However, following the November elections, Harry Reid will pull out all the stops in a last ditch effort to pass as many bills as he can in a lame-duck session. According to a report in The Hill today, Democrats are planning to bring up as many as 20 bills in as little as six weeks! Bills such as S. 510, the FDA’s War on Food, Joseph Lieberman’s Internet Takeover Bill, Cap & Tax, and many more we’ve alerted you about are all likely to come up for a vote during that session.

We’ve accomplished great things together during these past two years. Thanks to your efforts, 80% of Americans support a full audit of the Federal Reserve. Despite the enormous odds stacked against us, we’ve held off some of the worst legislation this country has ever seen.

Only 48 hours remain before legislators head home. Let’s make sure they feel the pressure every single second of it.


In Liberty,

John Tate

President

P.S. Campaign for Liberty is committed to the fight against the statist agenda in Washington, D.C. through grassroots mobilization and issue education. However, unlike the Federal Reserve, C4L cannot just print money out of thin air when we need funds. Won’t you consider chipping in just $10 so we can continue to keep our members informed about serious threats to our liberty?

Success

We thank the Lord for another good day in the House of the Lord. My Sunday school Lesson this morning was on "The Earth in Trauma" and the morning sermon was on "The Righteousness of Saints". We finished our study of our Articles of Faith in the afternoon. To see the study outlines and a copy of our Articles of Faith Click Here.

Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

WE WON! But it was close.

We cut it extremely close, but thanks to grass root efforts, we prevailed in today’s Senate cloture vote on the DISCLOSE Act (or as it should be called, “the Establishment Protection Act”).

The Senate fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster by a final tally of 59-39. This one vote victory showcases the importance of contacting every senator.

I personally called both Senators Murray and Cantwell and sent them emails too asking them to oppose disclose in every vote including cloture. As usual, they ignored me and voted to protect the establishment but thankfully the rino from AK did not vote and there weren't enough votes to stop the filibuster on this bill that attacks our freedom of speech. Hooray!

DISCLOSE is designed to silence grassroots organizations like Campaign for Liberty because they have the audacity to challenge the establishment’s failed status quo.

This deals a massive setback to part of the statist agenda, but it is by no means the final blow. Harry Reid is still likely to again try to ram through DISCLOSE in a lame duck session. The momentum is ours, so we have to not only keep the pressure on, but turn it up!

If your senator(s) voted to OPPOSE DISCLOSE, tell them you appreciate their stand and expect their continued opposition to the bill. If they voted for this First Amendment-shredding legislation, make sure they know you’ll be informing your fellow constituents of who their elected officials sided with when the American people’s privacy and free speech were on the line.

This couldn’t have been achieved without dedicated activism. Thank you for all you do to defend freedom and restore the Constitution! Click Here to see how your Senator voted.

Prepare for Obamacare

Dear Larry,

After months of preparation and hundreds of hours of research and fact-checking, I'm proud to say that we have concluded our investigative report into the hidden dangers of Obamacare.

I appreciate your patience. I'm sure you can imagine that with a task this large we had to take every precaution to ensure that the serious findings we uncovered are absolutely true.

And this report couldn't have been released on a more fitting date. Today marks the six-month anniversary of this unconstitutional legislation's passing. And it represents the first day that the effects of Obamacare will begin to be felt by Americans.

It will start slowly, but, mark my words, over the next few years Obamacare will truly take shape. And that's why you need to prepare yourself and those you love right now.

Because the threats of Obamacare are real. But you can stay safe in the days and years ahead.

Obamacare starts TOMORROW

Obamacare Officially
Goes Into Effect Thursday . . .

And That’s Why You Need to Learn
How to Protect Yourself

Dear Larry,

This Thursday, Sept. 23, President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act begins its slow implementation.

The changes will not be felt immediately, as the biggest elements of this intrusive and unconstitutional legislation will take hold in the months and years ahead.

And the transition to this new system of socialized medicine will be far from comfortable.

David Shea, a member of the American Academy of Actuaries' Health Practice Council, described the slow buildup of Obamacare perfectly:

"It's sort of like Chinese water torture. One drop isn't going to kill you, but a million will probably drive you crazy."

And already Americans are being affected negatively. . .

In California, some health insurance companies are raising their rates 15 percent to 25 percent to account for the new costs of doing business under this “reformed” system.

In Connecticut, that figure is 20 percent. We won’t know how bad the price hikes will get across the nation until Obamacare truly sinks its teeth in.

Rising costs are just one issue we all will have to deal with.

The misleading initiatives in this dangerous bill are beginning to threaten the safety of all generations.

Obamacare was crafted truly to help seniors, right?

Wasn’t the closing of the “doughnut hole” deemed a game changer for American healthcare?

In reality, it was nothing more than a White House PR-stunt.

You see, what you weren’t told is that President Obama never addressed the prices the drug manufacturers charge.

And this could have drastic consequences for you.

The Center for Medicare Advocacy and the Medicare Rights Center recently sent a letter to the government agency overseeing the new health insurance plan.

Here’s what it had to say:

“There is legitimate concern that some manufacturers will steeply increase the price of drugs in order to offset the cost of the discount to the manufacturers at the expense of both consumers and the Medicare program itself."

In fact, this group’s research shows that premiums for Medicare prescription drug plans will rise to $30 apiece next year.

So much for closing the prescription drug “doughnut hole” for seniors.

When Obamacare Takes Effect on Thursday, You
Will Be Delivered a Critical Investigative Report
That Uncovers the Dangers That Lie Ahead!

The wait is finally over.

We are putting the finishing touches on a report Newsmax has been preparing for months.

We will document the lies, half-truths, and coverups buried in Obamacare’s thousands of pages.

And since you reserved a copy of this report, it will be promptly delivered to your inbox Thursday morning.

So it’s important you keep a close eye out for it.

You can stay safe in the years ahead. You just need to arm yourself with as much information and guidance as possible.

On Thursday, you will take the first steps towards protecting yourself and your family in these uncertain times.

Stay Safe,

Kenya Birth Certificate

WASHINGTON – Now that every member of Congress has received a certified letter from Lucas Daniel Smith, accompanied by what he claims is a certified copy of Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate procured from Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya in February 2009, as well as an offer to testify under oath, the silence from Congress on the subject is deafening. For more on this story Click Here.

WA 9th Congressional District

King 5 News released a poll conducted by Survey USA showing incumbent Congressman Adam Smith at 49% and Dick Muri at 46%, just one month after the primary election.

"This is good news for our campaign and for America, as we work to restore balance to our federal government," said Muri. Read the rest of the press release HERE.

Originally, many political pundits were counting on this race as a safe Democratic victory. However, Adam Smith's voting record exposes him as a big-government liberal who votes in line with Nancy Pelosi's agenda.

Now, voters of the ninth district are rising up against Smith's "independent" rhetoric. No longer will you stand for reckless generational theft that puts a burden on future generations. No longer will you stand for government mandating your health insurance policy and health care decisions. No longer will you stand for a corrupt congress that lines their pockets with union and lobbyist money for payoffs in the form of bad legislation.

It's time for a change in leadership. That change is Dick Muri. Washington D.C. needs true fiscal conservatives to steer the country back on the right track. He stands for smaller government, lower taxes, responsible spending, and pro-growth in the private sector. Above all else, Dick Muri is a man of integrity with a true desire to serve his constituents, not his political career.

To effectively deliver our message throughout the district, we are asking for a contribution of $10, $25, or $100 today. This is a very viable race, and news outlets all over the country are waking up to the fact that Adam "Pelosi" Smith may be spending his final weeks as Washington's 9th District Representative.

With your support, we will win this race. Let's win in 2010!

Dream or Nightmare?

Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid secretly added the first step toward Amnesty for illegal immigrants to a defense policy bill to be voted on in the Senate this week! He is holding our troops hostage for the sake of criminals.

Harry Reid thinks the DREAM Act is “really important.”

DREAM--Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act--rewards young illegal immigrants WHO BROKE THE LAW with free U.S. Citizenship if they go to college or join the armed services.

This is no DREAM...this is a nightmare!

HELP MINUTEMAN PAC STOP REID’S NIGHTMARE FOR AMERICA!!!

Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are hell-bent on forcing through Amnesty, the worst immigration policy in the history of America! It destroys federal, state, and local immigration enforcement; gives a free pass to all illegal immigrants; and leaves our borders wide open! Help us defeat Amnesty with your best donation of $35, $60, $100 or even $200!!! CLICK HERE

MAXINE on Immigration

We thank the Lord for a place to worship Him in Spirit and TRUTH. My Sunday School lesson today was on "Saints in the Tribulation" and the morning sermon was on "The Light of God". CLICK HERE for a look at the outlines.

Maxine has the answers:


Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida .

Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.

+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.

+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today ?

Yes!

Think about this:

1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

C O W S

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

T H E C O N S T I T U T I O N

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

T H E 1 0 C O M M A N D M E N T S

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians.....It creates a hostile work environment.

It is Time for America to Speak up!

Happy Constitution Day

Did you know that today is Constitution Day?

EVERYONE NEEDS An actual COPY, Read and then challenge the politicians who are hired to defend the constitution and have shown by their actions to destroy it that they are domestic enemies of the USA.

7 Nazi Lessons

When a Nation Forgets God: Seven Lessons We Must Learn From Nazi Germany by Dr. Erwin Lutzer

The elimination of Christian principles in the schools, paganism mixed with Christianity, seminaries, churches and Christians rejecting the authority of the Word of God, dividing one's worldview between the secular and the sacred, an economic crisis and the rise of socialism are just a few of the worldview issues facing America. However, another nation in another time confronted all of these issues and more. How the German people and the church in Germany responded to the rise of Hitler and his Nazi party can teach the American people many important lessons for how we should respond to America's worldview revolution now taking place. In this gripping keynote presentation, Dr. Erwin Lutzer reveals seven lessons we must learn from Nazi Germany.

These lessons include:
1. When God is separated from government, judgment follows,
2. It's always the economy,
3. That which is legal might also be evil,
4. Propaganda can change a nation,
5. Parents—not the state—are responsible for a child's training,
6. Ordinary heroes can make a difference,
7. We must exalt the cross in the gathering darkness.

God and Science

Nice day in God's House again today. Several out sick but the Lord was there. AMEN! It was Sister Joanna's last day with us as she is moving to Burton, Michigan to be with her family there. She really liked the Bible we gave her as a going away present. My Sunday school lesson was on "The Great Day of God's Wrath" and the morning sermon was on "In Case You Forgot". Click HERE for more details and a look at the study and sermon outlines.
=====
So...

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, "Lord, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the 'beginning'."

"Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God.

"Well", says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man."

"Well, that's interesting. Show Me. "

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil.

"Oh no, no, no..." interrupts God.

(I love this...)

"Get your own dirt."

Stock Boy and Checkout Girl

Today was another good day of worship at church. Go to our church website to see the latest news and sermon outlines TLBC.

STOCK BOY & CHECKOUT GIRL

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4.

Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road.

Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well,
let's take the kids with us."

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like the father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added five more kids.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?

Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Iowa, where he is currently Retired as a quarterback of the National Football League. He and Brenda now have seven children and Kurt is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame after the 2014 season. Kurt's Stats.

Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.

THE REST OF THE STORY:

Kurt and Brenda are dedicated Christians and are constantly giving back to the community. One example is when Kurt, his wife and 7 children go out to eat, he has one of his children pick out a family eating at the restaurant. Kurt then tells the wait staff he is picking up the tab for that family's dinner anonymously. He remembers the days when he was working nights in the grocery store and feeding his family on food stamps.

50 Worst

I hope YOU have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I'm looking forward to good services tonight at our First Friday of the Month Fellowship Meeting at TLBC tonight at 7PM.
