"This is not a serious plan for comprehensive immigration reform; it is a comprehensive special-interest New Year's wish list,in which everyone gets something except the American people. Unfortunately,all Americans get is the bill,which they will have to pay with their jobs and their tax dollars."--Rosemary Jenks, NumbersUSA

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6 NKJVDear Praying Friends,
Development and character...can be secured only through action. The strengthening of the physical body, the sharpening of the senses, the quickening of the intellect... is invaluable in the growth and training of youth... represented by the Boy Scout movement... [A] scout binds himself on his honor to do his best, as the oath reads: "1. To do my duty to God and country, and to obey the scout law; 2. To help other people at all times; 3.To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." The 12 articles in the scout laws are not prohibitions, but obligations; affirmative rules of conduct. Members must promise to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent... the boy may not be merely passive in his alliance to righteousness. He must be an active force in his home, his church, and his community...But the Boy Scouts Coolidge spoke about could soon be a thing of the past. Having long-resisted pressures to lower their standards to accommodate scouts with incompatible ideologies and lifestyles (e.g., atheists and homosexuals), the Scouts are reportedly considering outright capitulation to the homosexual community.
The last item in the scout "duodecalogue" ...declares that a scout shall be reverent. "He is reverent toward God....He is faithful in his religious duty [and] respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion ...realizing the scriptural assertion that they who sin are the servants of sin and that the wages of sin is death. The Boy Scout movement has been instituted in order that the youth, instead of falling under the domination of habits and actions that lead only to destruction, may come under the discipline of a training that leads to eternal life... We need a greater faith in the strength of right living. We need a greater faith in the power of righteousness. These are the realities which do not pass away. On these everlasting principles rests the movement of the Boy Scouts of America. (see "American Presidency Project;" Underlining Added)
[The] Boy Scouts long-standing policy of banning "open or avowed homosexuals [2]" is starting to cost it some major financial backers: In the last six months, companies including UPS [3], United Way [4], the Merck Company Foundation [5]and the Intel Foundation [6]have announced they will drop or postpone funding for the Boy Scouts. Verizon Communications could be next: Over 70,000 people [7] have signed a petition asking the corporation to stop funding the Scouts over their discriminatory policies... "We more than understand how much value the Scouting program offers to our Nation and its youth," Brad Hankins, a campaign director for Scouts for Equality [8], the organization behind the Verizon petition and others, tells Mother JonesDon't Ask Don't Tell was overturned in a lame Duck Session of Congress controlled by Democrats. Will Americans stand by silently while this peerless organization for equipping God-fearing young leaders is corrupted? Parents know that the life example and spiritual health of a leader are more important than the content of the instruction. But if this happens the content of instruction will change, given time. Scout leaders are mentors. Many local Scout troops will not survive after families, who refuse to allow their sons to be mentored by practicing homosexual leaders, have taken them out of the program. The salt and light of the Gospel, too, welcomed in earlier days and in many Scout troops today (many are headquartered in churches) will be absent from a program hijacked by homosexual activists, foolishly abetted by American business leaders. Eli's grandson was named Ichabod, because the glory of Lord departed Israel when the Philistines captured the Ark. The blessing and favor the Boy Scouts have known all these years will also depart (see 1 Sam 2:1-5:1). America's youth and America as a whole will be the worse for it. Call the BSA Chief Scout Executive, Wayne Brock at 972-580-2004. Consider writing a letter to the businesses leaders who did this, and pray, pray, pray!
Since at least the late 1970s, the Boy Scouts executive leadership has discriminated against gay members. [9]In 2000, the Supreme Court ruled [10] that forcing the organization to accept gay members would violate its rights under the First Amendment, and the Boy Scouts reaffirmed their ban on gay scouts and scoutmasters in 2012 [11]. Since then, hundreds of Scouts have returned their pins [12] in protest, and the Boy Scouts anti-gay stance has even outlasted the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy...
[According] to The American Independent, [13] in the 2009 tax year, the biggest donor to the Boy Scouts was the Intel Foundation, who donated nearly $700,000. Intel announced in September it will stop funding Scout troops [6] that adhere to the ban, and UPS followed suit [3](Scouts for Equality ran petitions against both companies.)

![]() If there's one thing the headlines of the past week tell you, it's that President Barack Obama, gun ban politicians, and media elitists are willing to say and do whatever it takes to destroy your gun rights. That's why I went on Sean Hannity's show to arm gun owners with the facts they won't hear from the mainstream media. In this interview, I tell America the TRUTH about armed security in our nation's schools...the TRUTH about how millions of law abiding Americans use firearms to defend themselves and prevent crime...and the TRUTH about various types of firearms and how they function (with a LIVE demonstration by world champion shooter Jessie Duff!). Please watch it the moment you get the chance. Or, read a transcript of the interview here. And please, forward this video to every gun owner you know — or post it to a blog or your personal Facebook page. The more gun owners who know the facts about guns, crime and freedom, the more powerful NRA will be in our battle to protect the Second Amendment. Thank you for your support and your commitment to NRA. It means a lot to me personally that you're willing to STAND AND FIGHT for the future of our freedom. Wayne
P.S.
In addition to lies, Barack Obama's anti-gun allies are pouring
millions of dollars into this fight. If there is any way you can help me
and NRA with a contribution today, I would greatly appreciate it.
Whether you can give $100 or more, or $20 or less, every single dollar will go toward saving our Second Amendment freedom. Without your generosity, we don't stand a chance. Thank you again. |
