Do what the Court would not do.

The Supreme Court wrongly concluded that Obama-care can stand.

Make no mistake.  It is not constitutional.   One Justice using tortured logic defying the intent of the framers and the will of the people will claim it is so.  But it is not.

The key part of their decision, in my opinion was a call to action.

The decision stated: 

Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

The Supreme Court has told us the answer even while helping to trample our rights.

Throw them out.    Every single one of them.

Every Politician who voted for Obama-care, up to and including Mr. Obama must be defeated this fall if we are to have our last chance to stop Obama-care from taking over our healthcare system.


RANDPAC will take the fight to every incumbent Democrat in a competitive race who voted for Obamacare.   We will help lead the charge to do what the Supreme Court just told us is our only option -- throw them out.

Throw them out for violating their oath to uphold the constitution.

Throw them out for a massive government scheme to destroy private healthcare.

Throw them out for massive new taxes and a tightening of their socialist stranglehold on our economy.

  We can't do it without you.

That’s why it’s crucial you sign RANDPAC’s “Repeal Obamacare Now!” petition.

Retaliation

Supreme Court upholds most critical part of Arizona's immigration enforcement law. . . ...But Obama administration retaliates by canceling highly successful 287(g) program in Arizona. Dear Larry, On Monday, the same day that the Supreme Court upheld the heart of Arizona's SB 1070 illegal alien law, the Obama administration cancelled its immigration enforcement partnership with that  state. The federal 287(g) program allows cooperation between the federal government and state and local police forces to identify and remove illegal aliens. Arizona had been signed up with 287(g) for years, until Obama abruptly cancelled it. As you know, Pres. Obama sued the state of Arizona to block S.B. 1070, the nation-leading bill that gave Arizona several ways to enforce immigration laws. The Obama administration claimed that the federal government and only the federal government can enforce immigration laws. After literally years of litigation, the Supreme Court returned a mixed decision. The court agreed that Congress must set immigration policy, and it threw out several of the enforcement methods in SB 1070. Yet the justices allowed the most important enforcement method to stand. Arizona IS permitted to require its police to check on immigration status of people who are already detained, such as in traffic stops. If the persons challenged cannot show they are in the U.S. legally, the Supreme Court agrees that the state can turn them over to federal officers. or click  https://www.numbersusa.com/donate How did the Obama administration react to the court's decision? Did it agree to work hard with Arizona law enforcement officials to remove illegal aliens from that state? No, the administration retaliated by immediately canceling its 287(g) agreement with Arizona. In effect, the people of Arizona were told, "If you dare to speak back to us, we will punish you. We will refuse to cooperate with you. We will not even come to pick up illegal aliens you pick up in your state." This is outrageous! The whole purpose of 287(g) is to help local law enforcement remove illegal aliens they come across while enforcing state law. The administration seems to be warning states that if they pursue their Supreme Court-affirmed right to enquire about immigration status, the federal government will burn down their state and bring out the marshmallows!

Call2Fall

The Basics

Q - What's involved?
A - The Call 2 Fall is nothing fancy.  No slick program.  No big production.  Just setting aside a definite time during worship on July 1, 2012 when you call your people to get on their knees and faces before the Lord in repentant prayer for God to reshape our lives and renew our land.  Click here for free church resources that may be helpful.
Q - Who can join?
A - "Call 2 Fall" on our knees is for every Christ-follower in America.  Specifically, there are multiplied millions of believers who realize that America is in trouble and that neither Washington nor Wall Street has the answers.  We are hoping that at least 40,000 churches will join in a corporate act of humility, repentance, and desperate prayer on our knees before the Lord.
Q - Where will we do it?
A - "Call 2 Fall" on our knees will be happening in the many places Christians meet on Sunday. We realize that the church gathers in worship centers, store-fronts, homes, and various other places all across America.  We are encouraging believers to kneel at least 3 to 5 minutes before the Lord wherever they may gather that day.
Q - When will it happen?
A - "Call 2 Fall" in corporate humility before the Lord is set for Sunday, July 1, 2012. Why that Sunday? Because on the day before we celebrate our "Independence," we should also express our "Dependence" upon the Lord. Throughout this special day, we encourage believers to spend time on their knees in crying out to God to heal our souls and our land.
Q - Why a Call 2 Fall?
A - First, the Scriptures teach it.  The key verse is 2 Chronicles 7:14:

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

The first requirement on the path to renewal is to "humble ourselves," to fall on our knees and faces before the Lord in repentant prayer.  Over and over the Scriptures teach this.   Click here for examples.
Second, our history records it.   Our founding fathers sensed the need for a "Call 2 Fall" in view of the monumental struggle we were engaged in with Britain.    The First Continental Congress called for a day of public humiliation, fasting, and prayer throughout the Colonies on July 20th, 1775 just after war broke out.  James Warren wrote Samuel Adams:

Three millions of people on their knees at once, supplicating the aid of Heaven, is a striking circumstance, and a very singular one in America . May the blessings of Heaven follow in answer to our prayers...

In addition, colonial America and the early years of our republic experienced what observers have called Great Awakenings, which began with God's people humbling themselves in repentant prayer and led to others becoming followers of Christ.  Click here for more examples from our Founders.
Third, our nation needs it. Ponder the past decade.  From 9/11 to war to natural disasters to financial and moral collapse, we are witnessing what happens when a nation turns away from God.  In view of the monumental challenges of our times, do we not find ourselves in a similar situation as that of ancient Israel and early America?  Consequently, we are sensing the need to return to simple but powerful truths like:

• God is sovereign.  He is holy and He is love.
• We are sinners.  We are saved from His severity of His wrath toward sin only by the fierceness of His love in Christ.
• When we drift away in disobedience, we experience His discipline.  His judgments are just.
• The pathway back must begin with:


• A humility and brokenness before the Lord.
• A desperation to find the face of God.
• A heart cry for the mercy of God.
• A desire to turn from our sinful ways.
• A resolve to return to the ways of God.

This is what the ancient words of Scripture are calling us to do when we speak of a "Call 2 Fall."  Click here for testimony from people who sense this great need.

Matching Pro-LIFE Grant

 
I have great news!

I just talked to several very generous and dedicated members of the National Pro-Life Alliance who are so excited about our 2012 program that they have agreed to fund a $100,000 matching grant!

Under this arrangement, these dedicated National Pro-Life Alliance supporters will match your contribution if received by midnight July, 19 . . .

. . . up to one hundred thousand dollars!

That's right.  These generous supporters will multiply the impact of your contribution to this project if you make your contribution within the next 29 days.

Will you accept this Matching Grant Challenge?

Unlike the nation's largest abortion mill, Planned Parenthood, which has received hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, the National Pro-Life Alliance relies solely on voluntary contributions to support its work.

That's why it is vital you make your most generous contribution possible.
 
The fact is, whatever contribution you give today can make the difference not only in our drive to get action on the Life at Conception Act in this Congress, but also to hold politicians accountable for their pro-abortion votes when they face the voters this November.

You and I have never been in a better position to get action.

Now, we must build on our momentum and push for roll call votes.

It's vital you and I pin down each and every politician.

If a politician refuses to take action on the only legislation that will overturn Roe v. Wade and end the slaughter, then you and I must let pro-life voters know that he is nothing more than a "wolf in sheep's clothing."

Just getting a public roll call vote in both houses of Congress on the Life at Conception Act will be a huge victory.

You see, more than 70 percent of the American people are opposed to our nation's policy of abortion-on-demand.

So if pro-abortion politicians want to vote to kill the Life at Conception Act, they'll pay the political price at the ballot box when faced with re-election.

Yet, this fight won't be easy.

That's why it's vital you and I keep the pressure on Members of Congress to cosponsor and force votes on the Life at Conception Act.

Let's face facts.

You and I simply cannot rely on the so-called "mainstream media" to keep the pro-life issue before the American people.

Your $10 contribution will help put every Member of Congress on public record on the abortion issue.

Or if you could possibly give $25 or even $50 -- our Matching Grant donor will match that gift as well.

But it's crucial you make your contribution before July 19th.

Please click here to chip in now and accept the Matching Grant Challenge.



With the help of concerned Americans like you, your National Pro-Life Alliance can cut through the campaign rhetoric and put every Member of Congress on record for or against abortion-on-demand.

Please click here to contribute now.

For Life,

Martin Fox, President      
National Pro-Life Alliance

Obama said he was duty bound to enforce immigration laws (2010) and now he isn’t duty bound to enforce the law (2012).  This new so called executive order has all the appearance of a political gimmick to lure Hispanic votes.

However, like all sectors of our society, economics is key.  Here are a few facts on the President's policies that are negatively affecting the Hispanic community.

Since President Obama Took Office, The Hispanic Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 10.0 Percent To 11.0 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 6/19/12)

Unemployment, Foreclosures, And Poverty Rates Are Higher Among Hispanics Than The General Population. “The unemployment rate among Latinos is 11.3 percent, more than 2 points higher than the general population. Hispanics have felt the home foreclosure more than non-Hispanic whites, and 2010 census figures revealed that more Latino children are living in poverty — 6.1 million — than children of any other racial or ethnic group.” (Alex Leary, “Florida Hispanics’ Frustration With President Barack Obama Is Jobs,” St. Petersburg Times, 10/14/11)

“Hispanics Now Make Up The Largest Group Of Children Living In Poverty.” “Hispanics now make up the largest group of children living in poverty, the first time in U.S. history that poor white kids have been outnumbered by poor children of another race or ethnicity, according to a new study.” (Carol Morello and Ted Mellnik, “Hispanic Kids The Largest Group Of Children Living In Poverty,” The Washington Post, 9/28/11)

54 Percent Of Latinos Say The Economic Downturn Has Left Them Harder Hit Than Other Groups In America. “Fully 54% say Hispanics have been hurt more than other groups by the economic downturn of the past four years, while just 5% say they have been hurt less. Some 38% say Hispanics have been affected about as much as other groups.” (Paul Taylor, Mark Hugo Lopez, Gabriel Velasco, And Seth Motel, “Hispanics Say They Have The Worst Of A Bad Economy,” Pew Research Center, 1/26/12)

Bottom line:  The economy is the number one issue for Americans. President Obama may want to try to change the political focus but economic growth and prosperity is what Americans are looking for today.  To paraphrase another research brief…. AT A CERTAIN POINT, PRESIDENT OBAMA NEEDS TO ADMIT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS FOCUS AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HIS FAILED POLICIES AND RECORD.

140 DAYS until the Nov 6, 2012 General Election

Obama's idea of a prospering "private sector".   

Our Congressmen and Senators continue to pour YOUR money into the execution of little innocent human beings by the hundreds of thousands every year. 

What Planned Parenthood is doing with all that taxpayer money. The Onion has the scoop on its planned $8 billion Abortionplex. 

=====

If the virgin Mary had lived in OUR day and time, she no doubt would have been "counseled" by Planned Parenthood to visit a facility like the one above and solve the embarrassing problem of her out of wedlock pregnancy before being married to the Nazareth carpenter, Joseph.

  Lou Pritchett is a former P & G executive, an acclaimed
author, a dynamic teacher,and one of the world's most highly rated speakers.
It was he who changed the way America does business by creating an audacious
concept that came to be known as "Partnering". Here is part of a speech
given by Lou Pritchett April 15, 2012

" I was born in year two of the Great Depression (1931) and
spent the first 10 years of my life influenced by the extreme hardships of
the depression. By today's standards my family was about a mile below
today's so called 'poverty level'; but if you never 'had'---doing without
was not so 'bad'. Borrowing shoes to graduate from the 8th grade didn't seem
at all demeaning because most of the 8th graders did the same thing.

In June 1944, my only brother, Joe, was killed in action on
Utah Beach in Normandy, France during the D-Day landings. Exactly one year
later, my father died and left me, my mother, and my sister to go it alone.
And alone we went. My mother went to work at a department store, my sister
dropped out of school and joined her and I went to work shining shoes on the
streets of Memphis for a dime a shine. Government assistance was not
available and if it were I am confident my mother would have refused it
because she never wanted the government involved in our lives.

I mention this bit of personal history to help you
understand that millions of Americans, including your parents and
grandparents, grew up like me during the Great Depression and never expected
nor wanted the government to offer them anything other than an opportunity
and now to see what Obama is trying to do to our country tends to make you
crazy.

As some of you know, my "Scare Me" letter went viral with
millions of hits on the internet during the past 3 years. I have now written
a follow-up letter which I will now share with you. It will be released to
the press tomorrow morning. "

**********************************

To the editors:

"In April 2009, I sent President Obama and the New York
Times a letter titled "You Scare Me" because, as a candidate, he promised to
"fundamentally transform America." Now, after observing his performance for
over three years, he no longer scares me--- he terrifies me for the
following reasons:

FIRST He has done more to damage America's standing in the
world, to lower the standard of living in America, to impoverish future
generations and to shake our faith in the country's future than any other
American president in history.

SECOND-- With a compliant Democrat congress, a lapdog media
and a weak, almost nonexistent Republican opposition, he has shattered the
American dream of job security, home ownership and rugged individualism for
millions of Americans and has poisoned and divided our civil society with
his politics of envy, class warfare, race warfare, and religious warfare
which he is using as fundamental building blocks for his 'socialist' agenda.

THIRD-- culturally, he remains totally out of touch with
traditional American values. This has absolutely nothing to do with race or
where he was born, rather it has everything to do with where, how and with
whom he was raised, schooled, educated, trained and associates with still
today.

FOURTH-- he has surrounded himself with naive academicians,
lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats and socialist leaning czars who arrogantly
think and behave exactly as he does. People who offer no balanced
suggestions or devils advocate positions and think in lock step with him
that big government is the answer to all our problems.

FIFTH-- he not only encourages but aids and abets the
unionization of all American industry, the albatross around the neck of the
free market. In turn, they provide the money and muscle to intimidate his
opponents.

SIXTH-- he has increased the national debt by over 30% in
just three years. If re-elected and this rate of increase continues, America
will be burdened with an unsustainable 20 trillion dollar debt which will
result in the Country's financial death. Recovery will be impossible ----
America will be the Greece of 2016.

SEVENTH-- given his fanatical beholding to the
'environmental' and 'man-caused global warming' fringe, he has deliberately
discouraged U.S. fossil fuel exploration and production while wasting
millions of tax payer dollars on solar, wind and algae experiments. He
refuses to accept that oil, gas and coal are not America's enemies, they are
America's assets which, properly managed, could make us energy independent
within a generation.

EIGHTH-- He views the U.S. as a power in retreat which
abused its World dominance. Therefore he systematically apologizes round the
world. Last March he whispered to Russian President Medvedev "--this is my
last election. After my election, I have more flexibility". Just what is the
secret that Obama and Putin are concealing from the American people until
after the election? With what other leaders has he made similar secret
agreements?

NINTH---and finally, after all his mis-steps, bad decision
making, poor management, and zero leadership, the fact that he has the
audacity to seek re-election should terrify every American.
I predict that if re-elected, future historians and
political interpreters will look back at the eight year period 2008-2016,
and conclude "the 44th President of the U.S. allowed the takers to overpower
the payers which resulted in the greatest economy in history vanishing from
the face of the Earth".
Farewell America, the World will really miss you!"

Mitt wasn't my 1st choice

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MITT ROMNEY, HERE'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER:

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …

“ … if Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep five things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4... Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.

We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges - all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.

If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin’ something funky …

5. So, for anybody who is thinking of NOT voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... Imagine this:

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE:

Eric Holder,

Hillary Clinton,

Michelle Obama,

Nancy Pelosi,

Janet Reno,

Al Sharpton,

Jesse Jackson,

George Soros (he ain’t doing what he’s doing for nuttin’),

Occupy Wall Street Organizer Cecily McMillan,

just to name a few!

Be afraid my friends, be very afraid!

FLAG DAY 2012

The present party of power in Olympia tout how they just balanced the budget.  But what they don’t tell you is how they have mismanaged the state budget for the last ten years.  By using budgeting gimmicks, for years they have hidden a mountain of debt in unfunded liabilities and put state workers’ pensions and health care at risk, as well as creating a huge fiscal overhang for all the taxpayers in Washington.
Unfunded debt accrued by Democrat-led Olympia (source Washington Policy Center)

·        $27.3  Billion Total Unfunded Debt

·         $3.2   Billion Unfunded PERS 1 Pension Plan

·         $1.4   Billion Unfunded TRS 1 Pension Plan

·         $0.6   Billion Unfunded PERS 2/3 Pension Plan

·         $6.1   Billion Unfunded Non Pension Retirement (health care)

        

Bottom line:  One party Democrat rule in Olympia is leading us toward a fiscal cliff with their smoke and mirrors budgets. We need a turn around.  It is time for a new direction with a Republican Governor, Republican State Senate and Republican House in Olympia. Let’s double our efforts by helping our Republican candidates win their elections.

A Mom & Dad is best

Joseph Backholm and Rep. Jamie Pedersen, a sponsor of same-sex "marriage" legislation, recently debated Referendum 74 at the University of Washington. Click here to watch that debate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The debate over redefining marriage is a question about whether there is any difference between a relationship involving a man and a woman and one with people of the same gender.   

Proponents of real marriage have long argued that one key difference is the ability or inability to provide a child both a mother and father.  In response, proponents of same-sex marriage have argued that children don't need a mother and father.   

A study released on Sunday, a by Professor Mark Regnerus from the University of Texas, found that there was actually a dramatic difference for children raised in a married mother/father household and children raised by two parents of the same gender.   The key differences are summarized here:  

 

As a result of the study Prof. Regnerus stated that, "The empirical claim that no notable differences exist most go."

The study used a "gold standard" data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults and looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional, and relational outcomes. 

According to the Washington Times story on the study, "when compared with adults raised in married, mother-father families, adults raised by lesbian mothers had negative outcomes in 24 of 40 categories, while adults raised by gay fathers had negative outcomes in 19 categories."

A full copy of the study can be found here.

Just a joke, we love blondes.... :)

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience.

She mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into action.  As it gallops along at its steady and rhythmic pace, the blonde begins to slip from the saddle.

In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but despite her best efforts, slides down the horse's flanks.

The horse continues to gallop along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety.

Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup.

She is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground time and time again.

As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune, Frank, the Woolworth's trolley boy, sees her dilemma and unplugs the horse.

WA State GOP Convention

The Washington State 2012 GOP Convention was held in Tacoma this year and there was a record breaking turn out for it.  People that have never been involved in politics before are now getting involved due to the concern generally felt throughout the population over the FAILURE of our elected officials to do the right thing. 

 Among other things, there is concern over our national security.

Intelligence leaks purported by the Obama administration have drawn the concern and ire from Democrats and Republicans Senators alike.

Combating Terrorism requires a robust counter intelligence campaign Because of our anti terrorism effort the following unclassified actions have occurred.

“At least 42 terrorist plots targeted against the United States have been foiled since 9/11. The top five post-9/11 targets include:

1. New York City: targeted at least 12 times.

2. Military targets: targeted at least 10 times.

3. Washington, D.C.: targeted at least 5 times.

4. Diplomats and politicians: targeted 5 times.

5. Religious facilities: targeted 4 times.

Contrary to the common misperception that most terrorists are illiterate or come from extreme poverty, studies have shown that terrorists often tend to be more highly educated and from wealthier families than the rest of the population of origin. “

(Source:  Heritage Foundation-Issues 2012)

Bottom line:  Published accounts in the New York Times of classified operations will be read and used by the terrorists. Although these articles may make the administration look tough, these leaks put lives and our security at risk.

Thank you Shifty

"Shifty" By Chuck Yeager

Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Infantry.

If you've seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the
History Channel, you know Shifty. His character appears in all 10 episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several of them.

I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago. I didn't know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly gentleman having trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help, assured him that he was
at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle," the symbol of the 101st Airborne, on his hat.

Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the 101st Airborne or if his son was serving. He said quietly that he had been in the 101st. I thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served, and how many jumps he made.

Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so, and was in until sometime in 1945 ..." at which point my heart skipped.


At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped intoNormandy . . . do you know where Normandy is?" At this point my heart stopped.

I told him "yes, I know exactly where Normandy is, and I know what D-Day was." At that point he said "I also made a second jump into Holland , into Arnhem ." I was standing with a genuine war hero ...
and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of D-Day.

I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France , and he said "Yes... And it's real sad because, these days, so few of the guys are left, and those that are, lots of them can't make the trip." My heart was in my throat and I didn't know what to say.

I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in coach while I was in First Class. I sent the flight attendant back to get him and said that I wanted to switch seats.

When Shifty came forward, I got up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have it, that I'd take his in coach.

He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat. Just knowing that there are still some who remember what we did and who still care is enough to make an old man very happy."

His eyes were filling up as he said it.
And mine are brimming up now as I write this.



Shifty died on Jan. l7, my birthday, after fighting cancer.

There was no parade.

No big event in Staples Center .

No wall-to-wall, back-to-back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television.

And that's not right!


Let's give Shifty his own memorial service, online, in our own quiet way.

Please forward this email to everyone you know. Especially to the veterans.
Rest in peace, Shifty.

Chuck Yeager, Maj. General [ret.]


P.S. I think that it is amazing how the "media" chooses our "heroes" these days...
Michael Jackson & the like!
"SHIFTY" - an incredible American hero SHIFTY DIED JAN 17, 2011..........May God rest his soul. Please do me a favor and pass this on so that untold thousands can

read it. We owe no less to our REAL heroes....

Amen Maxine, AMEN!

		One of Maxine's very best!! Minorities We need to show more sympathy for these people. * They travel miles in the heat. * They risk their lives crossing a border. * They don't get paid enough wages. * They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do. * They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different                                 language. * They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day. *I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that so many are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops?Wouldn't it be great if we took the $360,000,000,000 (that's billion) we spend on illegals every year, and spend it on our troops!!! Please pass this on; this is worth the short time it takes! A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America ’ for any amount, up to and including their life.
		Live simply, expect little, give much, trust God, And do your part in exposing the corrupt. Our troops should not have to die in vain for protecting our Constitution while elected and unelected officials defy it.
