America continues to remain ignorant on so many issues and the longer they fail to see it the more problematic it will be for this country.
For example: It makes the sobering point that fertility rates are so low in the Europe - and headed that way in the U.S. - that the survival of European civilization is now a biological and historical impossibility.
Europeans aren't having enough children for their culture to survive. Muslims will conquer virtually all of Europe by 2050 without firing a shot, simply through immigration and much higher rates of child-bearing. Unless the U.S. once again heeds the biblical injunction to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth," we're next. And we are the last, best hope of mankind. We go, the world goes. View the video of the worlds change in demographics:(YouTube - Muslim Demographics)
Another example of what that means for America:
From the religion of peace: Islam teaches that apostates must be put to death. As Mohammed himself said, "Any [Muslim] person who has changed his religion, kill him." Not much left to the imagination there. Converting to Christianity is illegal in 22 of the 25 Muslim nations worldwide, and will get your head cut off in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan and Mauritania. Saudi Arabia finances 80% of the mosques in the U.S. One of its prominent scholars said this week that the only thing up for debate is how long the apostate should be allowed to live before his head is chopped off: three days, a week, or several months. Islam and the West: simply and irretrievably incompatible. There is simply no place for authentic Islam in a civilized society. (CNSNews.com - Islamic Scholars Wrestle With Death-For-Apostasy Issue)
Way to go America! Our strong belief in multiculturalism and our immoral behavior of killing one third of the next generation will lead to our ultimate demise. Now that we have almost eliminated God out of every facet of our society who will help us when we need it? Allah? I doubt it. Where will our blessings come from? our protection? We are beginning to see God's and being lifted from this country...Let's see how long it takes for Americans to realize something is wrong-I'll bet it won't be anytime soon.

Nehemiah was a remnant
Today it seems that our churches are silent in fear of persecution from the government. In the last few decades it has bowed itself into a corner to where it struggles with wanting to get engaged politically after being silent or tolerant for so long. Not knowing quite how without polarizing people and directing them away from the church, they struggle with the secularization of the church and how to bring them back to the true word of God.
Activism for Christians is lacking in America resulting in an apathetic church, where we can go on Sunday, take grandma out to lunch and retire to a nap knowing we have done our duty. This is an incorrect understanding of scripture and anyone that read it would know this.
The most compelling reason I hear for avoiding the potential conflict we face in America is the belief we are in the last days and the events we see are simply part of God's plan. This mindset has resulted in one period of profound darkness asnd not until Martin Luther got involved did the darkness end.
Pastors comments are:"our job is to win souls for Christ in love and truth...if we become politically involved will it not create a mass exodus from the churches who have been led to believe the lies of the secularization of the church?"
In the book of Nehemiah, in the bible, the book begins with him praying, fasting and with a broken heart (three indispensable ingredients to restoring a nation). Many Christians realize him to be a devout man of prayer and equally a man of action.
Christians in this post-Christian America have forgotten about position and the influence of power. Position and influence are never granted to Christians for ego-inflation,personal gratification or self-exaltation among other Christians.
Position and influence acheive their highest purpose when one is godly, through honest means while recognizing God's sovereignty in their success. Nehemiah had a comfortable life and yet chose to risk falling into disfavor with the king losing it all to save his beloved Jerusalem.
He endured personal attacks, slander, accusations and plots on his own life to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. This book is a classic study of what a man can expect when he enters the public arena where Satans dominion is strong.
When people ask me why I do what I do, it is because I feel led to, I cannot quit, at least not of today. I am called to do the work that the Lord has commanded, to preach His word, to reveal the truth even if I am turned away, slandered, mocked or persecuted. I care not to offend but long as I preach the truth with love and respect I usually end up offending someone.
We can no longer afford toto hide in thew safety of our Christian schools, churches, TV networks, we must be salt and light in the world. It is important to remember history and to know that once we become to comfortable and denying His will, He finds a way to get our attention and reminds us to focus on Him.
It is my belief that if Christians would stand in the gaps and say "enough is enough" we could regain what we have lost. It seems to me that as long as we are all comfortable there is no reason to stand.

HOSPITAL TO THE WORLD WELCOMES ILLEGALS & CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
http://www.newswithviews.com/Cosman/madeleine3.htm
Dr. Madeleine Cosman, Ph.D., ESQApril 25, 2005 NewsWithViews.com
Illegal aliens cross America’s borders medically unexamined. We shrug. We do not know what Illegal Aliens carry in their backpacks. We do not know what they carry in their bodies.
Long ago we knew what legal immigrants brought with them. When my grandpa came to America, he kissed the ground of New York’s Ellis Island, then he stripped naked and coughed hard. Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival and tested for tuberculosis. Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country. That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy.
Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction to qualify for lawful permanent residency Green Cards.
But Illegal Aliens stop at no medical checkpoint. Whoever walks through our foolishly open Golden Door comes in healthy or sick. If a border patrol sentry catches a healthy Illegal Alien he might be sent back home immediately. However, if we catch and detain a sick Illegal Alien, who after examination by physicians in a detention center proves to have a serious disease, we keep him!
Foolish compassion makes us fear that his home country has neither adequate medical resources nor modern wonder drugs. So we release sick Illegal Aliens to the American streets, to infect others if their diseases are contagious, or we place them in our Medicaid program where we pay for their expensive treatments.
Foolish medical generosity encourages clever Illegal Aliens to exploit free medical care that EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, provides.
[1] Foolish medical graciousness encourages cynical Illegal Aliens to take and take and take again.
[2] Only a foolish guest will refuse what a foolish host offers. Our wide-open Golden Door guarantees that Illegal Aliens in their own self-interest will use and abuse our medical system. Our Golden Door also is propped open thanks to advocacy and legal aid of Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Foundation, National Immigration Law Center, Southern Poverty Law Center, and similar open border groups.
[3] America is fast becoming Hospital to the World.
Horrendous diseases that long ago America had conquered are resurging. Horrific diseases common in Third World poverty and medical ignorance suddenly are appearing in American emergency rooms and medical offices. Along with the visible invasion of Illegal Aliens across our borders is an invisible invasion of deadly diseases.
[4]
Many illegals who skulk across our borders have tuberculosis (TB). That disease had disappeared from America thanks to excellent hygiene and powerful modern drugs such as Isoniazid and Rifampin.[5] ,[6] ,[7] ,[8] ,[9] ,[10] TB’s swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60% of those infected. The culprit is the new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
[11] Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico.
[12] ,[13] The mycobacterium tuberculosis is resistant to at least two major TB drugs. Ordinary TB usually is cured in six months with four drugs (that cost about $2000). MDR-TB takes 24 months with many expensive drugs with toxic side effects (that cost around $250,000).
[14] ,[15] Each Illegal Alien with MDR-TB coughs and infects numerous people who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later, like a time bomb.
TB was virtually absent in Virginia until in 2002 it spiked a 17% increase, but Prince William County, not far from Washington, D.C., had a meteoric rise of 188%. Public health officials blamed immigrants. Indiana School of Medicine in 2001 studied an outbreak of MDR-TB traced to illegal aliens from Mexico.
The Queens, New York, health department attributed 81% of new TB cases in 2001 to immigrants. The Centers for Disease Control ascribed 42% of all new TB cases to “foreign born” people who have up to eight times higher incidence.
[16] ,[17] ,[18] ,[19] ,[20] ,[21] Apparently 66% of all TB cases coming to America originate in Mexico, the Philippines, and Viet Nam.
Virulent TB outbreaks afflicted schoolteachers and children in Michigan,[22] ,[23] and adults and kids in Texas.
[24] The teachers and kids caught it at school from coughing children of Illegal Aliens. In Minnesota, policemen suddenly came down with MDR-TB. The cops caught it in their patrol cars when they arrested Illegal Aliens who coughed in their faces. Recently TB erupted in Portland, Maine, and Del Ray Beach, Florida.
Chagas Disease has no known cure. Chagas has the revolting nickname of kissing bug disease. The Reduviid bug has parasites that favor the lips and face for infection. That noxious Trypanosoma-Cruzi protozoan annually infects 18 million people in Latin America and causes 50,000 deaths.
[25] ,[26] ,[27] ,[28] ,[29] ,[30] ,[31] This seditious disease also infiltrates America’s blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.
[32] After 10 to 20 years, up to 30% will die when their hearts or intestines, enlarged and weakened by Chagas Disease, burst.
[33] Two people died of the three people in 2001 who received Chagas-infected organ transplants.
Leprosy, a scourge in Biblical days and in medieval Europe, so horribly destroys flesh, faces, and fingers it was called Disease of the Soul.
[34] Lepers quarantined in leprosaria sounded noisemakers when they ventured out to warn people to stay far away. Leprosy or Hansen’s Disease was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted.
[35] ,[36] ,[37] ,[38] Suddenly, in the past three years America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy. Leprosy now is endemic to northeastern states. There are leprosy clinics in New York City. Illegal Aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Mexico.[39] ,[40] ,[41]
Dengue Fever is exceptionally rare in America though common in Ecuador, Peru, Viet Nam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Mexico.
[42] Recently there was a virulent outbreak of Dengue Fever on the Webb County, Texas, border with Mexico.
[43] Though Dengue usually is not a fatal disease, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, is one strain of the disease that routinely kills.
Polio was eradicated from America but now reappears in illegal immigrants.
[44] Intestinal parasites were mostly obliterated. Our fine sanitation and microbe-safe food supplies made them disappear. But they are back, in the bodies of Illegal Aliens.
[45] ,[46] ,[47] ,[48] Malaria was obliterated but now is re-emerging in Texas and other states.[49] ,[50] ,[51] ,[52] No mosquito that bites a person infected with malaria checks identification papers before biting another person to transmit debilitating fever.
About 4000 young children under age five annually in America contract the infectious disease called Kawasaki Disease. Youngsters develop fever, red eyes, “strawberry tongue,” and acute inflammation of their coronary arteries and other blood vessels. Many suffer heart attacks and sudden death.[53] ,[54]
Hepatitis A, B, and C are resurging.[55] ,[56] ,[57] ,[58] An outbreak of Hepatitis A in 2003 near Pittsburgh endangered 3000 thanks to infected Mexico-grown scallions and Illegal Alien kitchen workers in a Chi-Chi’s restaurant. Two Americans died. Asians number 4% of Americans but over 50% of Hepatitis B cases. We inoculate all newborns for Hepatitis B although mainly Asians are susceptible.
[59] Why? The answer is political judgment not medical judgment.
[60] Deadly Marburg disease, like the fierce hemorrhagic Ebola, right now in April, 2005, is devastating Angola.
[61] Physicians in that African country are despairing as hundreds of infected people bleed to death. Just one infected person who could walk through the Golden Door of our Hospital to the World could be a suicide bomber with incendiaries in his arteries, veins, or capillaries.
Terrorists are buying so-called “weapons grade” strains of disease organisms for bio-warfare. America risks devastation by evil intent of a terrorist or by innocent accident of an infected Illegal Alien walking through our foolishly open Golden Door.
Illegal Aliens secret in their bodies invisible, deadly time bombs. Homeland Security ignores these lethal weapons of health destruction.

[59] Why? The answer is political judgment not medical judgment.
[60] Deadly Marburg disease, like the fierce hemorrhagic Ebola, right now in April, 2005, is devastating Angola.
[61] Physicians in that African country are despairing as hundreds of infected people bleed to death. Just one infected person who could walk through the Golden Door of our Hospital to the World could be a suicide bomber with incendiaries in his arteries, veins, or capillaries.
Terrorists are buying so-called “weapons grade” strains of disease organisms for bio-warfare. America risks devastation by evil intent of a terrorist or by innocent accident of an infected Illegal Alien walking through our foolishly open Golden Door.
Illegal Aliens secret in their bodies invisible, deadly time bombs. Homeland Security ignores these lethal weapons of health destruction.

A lesson in martial law
Martial law is defined as military rule or authority imposed on a civilian population when the civil authorities cannot maintain law and order, as in a time of war during an emergency.
Hitler turned Germany into a Nazi dictatorship through executive orders. It is interesting to see the legislation being passed through the last few administrations being imposed without martial law being declared and yet no one seems concerned.
Which part of these are Constitutional? NONE!!!
Just to clarify the importance here, it is important to understand what the definition of a terrorist is according to our government. (Please think about this definition as you read it)
"Terrorism , as defined by the DOJ, Department of Justice, states:
"The unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or individual against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"
A few questions should be asked here:
Do you fall under this vague description ?
If you live and breathe and enjoy your freedom you fall under this category. If you happen to disagree with an individual are you not infact a terrorist? Are tea party attendees terrorists? Are those who object to prop 8 terrorists? Is not then the Supreme court, the IRS and the federal government then terrorists as well?Does this apply to parents in times of discipline with their children? Are parents now terrorists?
Not even a word mentioning weapons. To the best of my knowledge Terrorism is the idea of instilling fear in an individual or group, usually violent acts using weapons.
What does the Declaration of Independence say?
"...that if the government has become destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it..."
"...when a long train of abuses and usurpations is designed to reduce them to abslute despotism, it is their right, their duty to throw off such government..."
What does the Constitution say?
There are too many violations to mention, read through the articles for yourself and you will see that in these circumstances a dictatorship has been well established and is finally being executed.
Compare your freedoms now to the ones you have lost and how close we are to losing the rest.
Remember, in the words of Timothy Geithner himself, "we can't let a good crisis go to waste..."
Of course not, look at what they have to gain.
Executive order 10995:
All communications media are to be seized by the federal government. Radio, TV, newspapers, CB, HAM, telephones and the internet will be under federal control. Hence the first amendment will be indefinitley suspended.
Executive order 10997:
All electrical power, fuels, and all minerals will be seized by the federal government.
Executive Order 10998:
All food sources, farms and farm equipment will be seized by the government. You will not be allowed to hoard food since this is regulated.
Executive order 10999:
All modes of transportation will go into government control. Any vehicle can be seized.
Executive order 11000:
All civilians can be used for work under federal supervision.
Executive order 11490:
Establishes presidential control over all US citizens, businesses and churches in time of an emergency
Executive order 12919:
Directs various cabinet officials to be constantly ready to take over virtually all aspects of the US economy during a state of National emergency at the direction of the president.
Executive order 13010:
Directs FEMA to take control over all government agencies in time of emergency. FEMA is under the control of the executive branch of the federal government
Executive order 12656:
"Assignment of emergency preparedness responsibilities" A national emergency is any occurence, including natural diaster, military attack, technological or other emergency that seriously degrades or threatens that national security of the United States.
"Policy for national security emergency preparedness shall be established by the president"
This order includes federal takeover of all local law enforcement agencies, wage and price controls, prohibits you from moving assdets in or out of the United States, creates a draft, controls all travel in and out of the US.
Martial law can be declared due to natural disaster, Y2K crisis, stock market crash, loss of electricity, riots, biological attack or anything that may lead to a breakdown of law and order.

The new Pledge of Allegiance
Written by a 15 yr. Old School Kid in Ohio :
New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME!)
Since the Pledge of Allegiance & The Lords Prayer
Are not allowed in Schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned....
A Kid in Ohio wrote the attached:
Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule.For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights.And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.The law is specific, the law is precise.Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all.In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen, And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong, We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess.So, Lord, this silent plea I make:Should I be shot; My soul please take!Amen

Pied piper is Alive and well !!
There was a Pied Piper who said We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change it! *And the people said, Change is good!Then he said, We are going to tax the rich fat-cats, *And the people said, “Sock it to them!”
And redistribute their wealth. *And the people said, “Show me the money!”
And then he said, Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody *And Joe the plumber said, “Are you kidding me?”
And Joe’s personal records were hacked and publicized.. *And one lone reporter asked, “Isn’t that Marxist policy?”
And she was banished from the kingdom! Then someone asked, “With no foreign relations experience, how will you deal with radical terrorists?”
And the Pied Piper said, Simple. I’ll sit down and talk with them and show them how nice we really are and they’ll forget that they ever wanted to kill us all! Then the Pied Piper said, I’ll give 95% of you lower taxes. *And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes!”
So the Pied Piper said, Then I’ll give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay! *And the people said, “Show me the money!”
Then the Pied Piper said, I’ll tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes! *And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.
And he said, I’ll mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. *And the people said, “Gimme some of that!”
Then he said, I’ll penalize employers who ship jobs overseas. *And the people said, “Where’s my rebate check?”
Then the Pied Piper actually said, I’ll bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket! *And the people said, “Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don’t care for that part about higher electric rates.”
So the Pied Piper said, Not to worry. If your rebate isn’t enough to cover your expenses, we’ll bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over! Then he said, illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let’s grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing *And the people said, “Ole`! Bravo!” And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy slowed even further. Then the Pied Piper said, I am the Messiah and I’m here to save you! We’ll just print more money so everyone will have enough! But our foreign trading partners said, Wait a minute. Your dollar isn’t worth what it was. You’ll have to pay more. *And the people said, “Wait a minute. That's not fair!”
And the world said, Neither are these other, idiotic programs you’ve embraced. You’ve become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you’ll play by our rules! *And the people said, “What have we done?”
But it was too late. If you think this is a fairy tale, open your eyes and ears. Its happening RIGHT NOW!

Earth Day - Communist Propaganda!
Brainwashing, indoctrination and fear mongering! Some national and international elitists, money changers, power brokers, the United Nations, Europe, socialists, radical environmentalists and the one-world-order crowd, aided and abetted by a news media that has lost any semblance of journalism ethics, have perpetrated one of the greatest frauds in the civilized history of mankind. But worse, the American government, at every level, who are supposedly constrained by our Constitution and every American politician who espouses, supports or endorses this nonsense, is complicit in this fraud and the propaganda that propagates it.
Little kids are scared to death that the boogie-man of Man-Cause Global Warming is going to flood their homes, kill their parents and leave them destitute, hungry, homeless and all alone. Disenfranchised and unrepresented rural American landowners have lost virtually all of their property rights, due to draconian environmental land use regulations ..... regulations that are based on another fraud, that we must protect every damn wetland in existence today, even if the wetland was caused by man in the first place.
It is a fraud for one very basic reason that no one ever mentions. Just a short 10,000 years ago in geologic time, for evolutionary believers and 4-5000 years for Christians, one-third of the Earth’s surface was covered by an ice sheet over one mile thick. Underneath that ice there were no lakes, streams, rivers, or wetlands and there was little to any wildlife whatsoever. Somehow the Earth managed to survive without all those wetlands and it will continue to survive whether we save wetlands or not. In fact, the Earth will even survive the miniscule effect that mankind inflicts upon it.
Did you know that man’s foot print on the North American Continent is less than 5% of the total land mass. And that foot print took over 200 years to materialize. Don’t you think that if that foot print rose to 10% over the next 200 years, there would still be a whole lot of land left for the wild creatures and all their little creatures? And no, man is not causing global warming, in spite of the unmitigated lies you are being fed, by those who are hell-bent on controlling you.
This same fraud, perpetrated by government and special interest groups, is forcing inefficient wind and solar power energy sources upon us, that require more fossil fuel energy to build, require huge government subsidies to be viable at all and represent a insignificant fraction of the total energy we consume. In the meantime the policies from this fraud are sucking the energy needed to keep our economy humming by very efficient sources of energy from hydro, nuclear, oil, coal and natural gas, and they are being seriously inhibited or prohibited all together.
A country without sufficient energy is a third-world country, subject to all the vagaries of third-world countries and banana republics. And this insanity about outlawing incandescent light bulbs and replacing them with very environmentally unfriendly, mercury-laced, fluorescent bulbs that require special, expensive disposal handling, is beyond any reason or common sense. Who are these people who make these off-the-wall decisions? Now you may think that we are against environmental stewardship, but you would be wrong.
Our motto is:
Protecting the Environment is Laudable. Trashing the Constitution to do it is treasonous.
So In celebration of this fraud and communist propaganda that is “Earth Day”, we are increasing our carbon foot print and turning on every light in our home and business.
We will not fall prey to worldwide propaganda and unbridled hysteria, because those in power, who want to control every aspect of our lives and are the very perpetrators of the fraud and the propaganda, says it’s so.
Americans must choose. Will they be the marionettes controlled by the almighty government, or will they be the puppeteer that pulls the “strings” ON government?
Wake up Americans, or you will find yourself in chains, if you aren’t already.

Was this pandemic planned
On March 20, 2009, this researcher outlined a peculiar "PANDEMIC VACCINE TRAINING" exercise in Texas scheduled to occur on Saturday, May 2, 2009. See complete article at http://www.rense.com/general85/dsd2.htm
I thought it very strange that a rather obscure Texas county would see fit to conduct such a "training exercise" involving Texas National Guard Troops involving "drive-thru vaccination clinics". I also thought it exceedingly strange that these rather obscure county officials would make the public declarations that emergency "pandemic vaccination programs would mean a line of cars 41 miles long" in Guadalupe County, but that San Antonio's drive-thru vaccine's line would stretch from "San Antonio to Calgary, Alberta Canada" --- strange, because this just happens to be the planned route of the AMERO FREEWAY -- connecting the late-great U.S.A. with Mexico and Canada. Could this, too, be a coded message to insiders?
Just as NORAD was conducting "mock" terrorist drills on the morning of September 11, 2001 - could this May 2 event be TIMED to announce the release of the planned pandemic and the eventual advent of martial law in North America?
Today, Friday, April 24, 2009 - according to USA TODAY, the BBC, and the Associated Press, the World Health Organization (WHO) is "very, very concerned" about a very strange "swine flu" outbreak in Mexico City.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-04-23-swine-flu_N.htm?csp=34 The WHO is so concerned, in fact, that it has ordered all WHO officers to man the "Pandemic Control Room" 24/7 for the 1st time.
ATTENTION AMERICA!!!! This is highly significant. The WHO "Pandemic Control Room" is a creation of the Illuminati elite for the final "end-game" killer virus mapping and tracking, and is thus equipped with super-computers tied to all U.N. member government's security forces. This "control room" is where any declarations of "pandemic" will originate. When such a "declaration" is sent to President Obama, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security "Pandemic Task Forces" will be deployed. Each State Governor will be notified that the provisions of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) will be implemented.
This means that all Americans must consent to mass vaccinations, or be guilty of a FELONY crime (without a TRIAL, mind you!). And why a FELONY and not a mere 'misdemeanor'? Simple. Police agencies know that the use of "DEADLY FORCE" is only approved for felony suspects when they resist arrest. Refuse the government's untested, untried, highly suspect "MADE IN CHINA" vaccine, and you will instantly be labelled a felonious criminal. So, refuse the forced vaccine, and then resist forced relocation to a prepared "quarantine compound" (i.e. concentration/re-education camp) and you can "legally" be shot and killed. (Justified "deadly force".) See http://www.forhealthfreedom.org/Publications/Informed/RevisedModelState.html
Never forget that in 2005, the Chinese PLA "defense minister" declared in a speech to the Chinese PLA brass that China must
"possess" North America (Mexico, America, and Canada) and that 15-200 million Americans "must die" by means of a "perfected" biological weapon. What could be more "natural" and deflect suspicion more effectively than a weaponized "killer influenza" that is propagandized into an "act of nature"??
Beginning in the spring of 1918, an "unusual flu" began to emerge, that eventually blossomed into the killer flu pandemic killing millions worldwide. Subsequent research has proven that the "unusual flu" was a "recombinant strain" showing swine viruses mixed with bird viruses mutating with human-specific strains of flu virus. THIS IS EXACTLY THE KILLER VIRUS THAT DR. JEFFREY TAUBENBERGER AND HIS TEAM AT FORT DEDRICK RE-CREATED DURING YEARS 1997 - 2003. Is it just a mere coincidence that the same recombinant virus is once again making its appearance known?
According to Henry Kissinger and Zbignew Brezinsky's "NEW WORLD ORDER AGENDA" - the earth must be cleansed of at least 5 billion human beings in order to create their "Utopia". In 1974, this agenda was outlined in a report called NSSM 200 - and the genocide was to begin in specific 3rd world countries. See http://www.mathaba.net/0_index.shtml?x=90207
However, it is logical that North America (especially Mexico City) would have to be "cleansed" as well. Never forget that both Kissinger and Brezinsky are solid backers of Barack Hussein Obama. Obama makes an official visit to Mexico, and a short week later, Mexico City schools, Universities, and all PUBLIC BUILDINGS are shut down in pandemic fear -- (for the first time since the devastating 1985 earthquake!) Again, is this just a bizarre co-incidence??
SOMETHING WICKED IS NOT COMING, IT IS ALREADY HERE.
"If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as KILLER VIRUS to lower human population levels."
------ Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, head of the World Wildlife Fund and World FREEMASONRY --- December 1995
"A 'killer virus' is indeed an evolutionary step-up for some of this planet's so-called "elites" ---- hopefully Prince Phillip, Henry Kissinger, Zbignew Brezinsky, et. al. can each achieve this milestone and not return once again as the mutiganeous-primal-pond-scum life-form they currently occupy today."
------ Dr. A. True Ott, Concerned American PATRIOT, April, 2009.
I thought it very strange that a rather obscure Texas county would see fit to conduct such a "training exercise" involving Texas National Guard Troops involving "drive-thru vaccination clinics". I also thought it exceedingly strange that these rather obscure county officials would make the public declarations that emergency "pandemic vaccination programs would mean a line of cars 41 miles long" in Guadalupe County, but that San Antonio's drive-thru vaccine's line would stretch from "San Antonio to Calgary, Alberta Canada" --- strange, because this just happens to be the planned route of the AMERO FREEWAY -- connecting the late-great U.S.A. with Mexico and Canada. Could this, too, be a coded message to insiders?
Just as NORAD was conducting "mock" terrorist drills on the morning of September 11, 2001 - could this May 2 event be TIMED to announce the release of the planned pandemic and the eventual advent of martial law in North America?
Today, Friday, April 24, 2009 - according to USA TODAY, the BBC, and the Associated Press, the World Health Organization (WHO) is "very, very concerned" about a very strange "swine flu" outbreak in Mexico City.

Are you prepared?
Emergency preparedness, in my opinion, is something that is very important for everyone to take the time to learn understand and create an individual family emergency plan in case a disaster should occur.
Americans have lived the "lap of luxury" for so long, become lazy, apathetic, or just too busy in their lives to consider the possibility of a disaster happening to them and have taken even the most basic essentials for granted. Now with the new "nanny state" mentality, we will become more reliant on the government to take care of us than ever before. The fact is that if something does happen, the government will tell you themselves that YOU need to make preparations for yourselves in case no one comes to take care of you...look at Hurricane Katrina.
People were so angry that the government didn't come when they were supposed to that it was considered their fault and theirs alone. FEMA and the Dept of homeland security (DHS) were left in the crossfire for everything that went bad, including president Bush and his administration.
I attended a three day seminar to become a C-CERT instructor with most of the leaders of fire and rescue, EMS and both FEMA and DHS and senior instructors from the four NW states.
During the course they emphasized " Take the necessary steps to prepare yourself, your family, your neighborhood and your community...in that order...Make sure you have enough supplies for at least a week and longer if possible"
We learned that during a mass casualty situation time and resources will be extremely limited and the more people that are prepared the less they will have to worry waiting for someone to come to their rescue.
Are you prepared for an emergency? If not this task is overwhelming. When I began I didn't know where to start.
We have a tremendous LDS population here and so when I thought of preparedness I naturally thought to go the the LDS website( http://www.providentliving.org/) I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be because the website lacked the desired specifics and details I felt I needed. They have a food calculator and provide a list of supplies and food which are excellent but it was clear that this was more designed for people who have already learned how or have already begun to prepare.
Feeling like I hadn't found the details I was looking for I did various preparedness searches for days and found bits and pieces of what I needed but was wanting to find one place that I could get everything I needed. I found two sites in particular the one I recommend most is the Survival center in McKenna, Washington (http://survivalcenter.com/).
Unfortunately this site was the one I stumbled on last but found as the most complete, most cost-effective, most experienced and treated you most like family. In a time where customer service seems to be lacking these fine people exceeded my expectations.
First, I recommend purchassing their basic preparedness DVD set and watch the DVD's the course is easy and the most worthwhile compilation of information. It takes you through the complete process of what to get, why, how much, for how long. It covers caring for elderly, babies, how to store food, what medical supplies to have, how to can, types of canning. it comes with shopping lists, in detail, and solutions for water storage and treatment, fuel treament and goes the extra mile into underground living options.
Second, take your time and view the catalog. Look at all the supplies they have and their varieties, which far surpass anything I had found in my quest for information.
Third, Take a tour through the preparedness manual and familiarize yourself with the sections in this book.
Fourth, make a list of items you wish to purchase. If you cannot afford to buy an entire list try to make weekly, monthly or scheduled purchases to begin to build your kit.
These people are wonderful and will take your calls and will answer your questions as they care more about preparing people to become self sufficient than becoming wealthy. It is their business but it is also their passion.
As far as I am concerned they are my one stop shop but don't take it from me, here are a few other resources:
Emergency essentials ( http://www.beprepared.com/) -website is busy, lots of information but difficult to view items in detail and appear to lack the variety that survival center had.
more references at:
http://www.fema.gov/
www.redcross.com
A great resource, perfect size to be included in every car, day, 72 hour or home kit that was given to me by a friend is a book called "It's a disaster". The book can be requested by leaving a comment on this post or can be downloaded here free:

Earth week propaganda
The last few days were spent on a liberal college campus where theyr'e main focus is on low carbon diets that create the carbon footprint and are responsible for global warming ( www.eatlowcarbon.com) .
It happened to be earth week where there were posters and sidewalk chalk posted and written everywhere. I guess they worship the food gods or ourselves, lifting ourselves up to where we, as insignificant as we are, to a point where we can now destroy the earth with the food we eat.
The interesting thing was that were no signs indicating that we should be good stewards of our food resources due to the coming food shortages around the world that has successfully been hidden by the mainstream media, but their was an easel with the amount of food wasted each day by the students and the numbers were staggering.
For these future liberal-progressives who claim to desire to help those less fortunate and promote "greater good" for the world, how can you focus on one issue like the propaganda of global warming but waste 400+ pounds of food each day? The posters claim that eating a cheeseburger leaves a devastating carbon footprint but what is the effect of countries with no food?
As I wandered the campus, I wondered why it was such a top priority to scare our children into submission and focus on global warming, as inconclusive as it is, when we have become such a lost society facing a socio-economic and political collapse in this country. Was this the way that was planned by our wonderful misleading staff and our high tuitions to keep the children busy by focusing on insignificant issues while our leaders destroy their future?
As I sat eating lunch each day I watched them walk by going about their daily lives and living the eutopic ignorance filling a place that was once used for logic, rationality, common sense, intelligent thought now with innaccuracies, lies and the compassion for worthless agendas in it's place.
Their country is now a "terrorist hijacked freight train" , headed for the cliff with unfinished track at the end, they are aboard and have no clue.
Karl Marx said " He who has control over the children has control of the future" my question is what future?
Some facts from Dr. Roy Spencer
Is global warming happening now? No one knows because of year-to-year climate fluctuations, but temperatures stopped rising in 2001 and may be entering a significant cooling trend.
Is it warmer now than in thousands of years? No--and it was probably significantly warmer in the Medieval Warm Period.
Does declining Arctic sea ice evidence manmade global warming? Warming, yes; manmade, no, and recent trends are not significantly different from those of the 1930s.
Is Arctic sea ice melt rate increasing? No.
Is Antarctic sea ice diminishing? No.
Is CO2 a dangerous gas? "Well, if you breathe pure CO2, you will die--from a lack of oxygen, not because CO2 is poisonous. But if you breathe pure oxygen for very long, that will also kill you. Carbon dioxide is necessary for life on Earth; photosynthesis by plants on land and by plankton in the ocean depend on it. And without these forms of life, all the animals (and we humans) would die as well."
How much has CO2 risen as a percentage of the atmosphere since 1958? Not much: from a little under 1/2 of 1/10 of 1% to a little over 1/2 of 1/10 of 1%.
Is CO2 the main greenhouse gas? No, it's about 3% of the greenhouse effect; water vapor (85% to 90%) and clouds (5% to 10%) outweigh it by far.
How much warming would doubled CO2 cause? Not more than 1 degree Centigrade (1/3 the central estimate of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which depends on computer models that wrongly count clouds as a positive feedback; Spencer's satellite data show they're negative).

Murder video!
Have I ever mentioned that I am "pro-life"? Not the person, although he is a dear friend of mine, but my position on the issue.
Many would consider me "anti-choice", a mere play on words or is it? When do you suppose we as Americans gave ourselves labels on our sexual preference- homosexual or heterosexual, bisexual, transgender, poligamist, beastealist etc or our postion on whether we should take a life or spare it, especially an innocent life that simply had no choice.
The simple fact remains that anyone that was considered to take a life would be considered a "murderer" and one who spares it would not be called anything-that I can think of other than a good descent human being.
If an innocent life, preborn human fetus that is growing in the womb , was taken would this be considered "murder?" If not, Why not? I guess it has to be left to the courts on whether the baby is actually alive or not?Are they qualified with doctors degrees?
They call me "anti-choice" is this really true when I have given the baby the choice to survive?
It really isn't my choice whether the baby lives or not, that is up to God. God giveth and God taketh away. This is an important concept because our culture has taken what is Gods' and given it to the government, now the government giveth and taketh away.
Put another way, who is more "anti-choice" when a "pro-choice" advocate terminates a pregnancy and gives no choice to the baby? It appears to me that the "anti-choice" advocate is the one who claims to be "pro-choice".
I think it should be better noted in these human descriptions instead of being "pro-choice" it should be "pro-self" because it becomes all about ones self, that would be considered selfish and self-centered.
I urge many of my friends to watch this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKXj24GyMo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efacebook%2Ecom%2Fprofile%2Ephp%3Fid%3D1143626566%26ref%3Dprofile&feature=player_embedded
Watch this video, It is important to understand what happens during an abortion, to see it for yourself, before you decide what position you will support. If you can truly watch this and feel nothing and maintain your so-called "pro-choice" ( which really isn't) position then our country is in deeper trouble than I ever thought possible.
If you can watch this and you were as affected as I was, then it should stand to reason that conscience does exist, therefore God does exist within you and you can no longer support the "pro-abortion" position.
I wonder if any who claim to be "pro-choice" have ever thought about what would have happened if their parents had decided to abort?
Our past generations were selfless, we had an appreciation for eachother and had a reverance and excitement for those who had become pregnant. Rather than an acknowledged blessing from God it seems to be a curse from Hell.
It appears that today, what was once considered immoral, now is someones choice, being careful not to offend anyone who agrees but caring nothing for those in oppostition.What was once considered good is now unacceptable in the eyes of society.
How did we get here and how is it possible that we as a nation prefer it this way?

The left continues it's assault...
Another week goes by and the new administration and left continues it's assault on law abiding, tax paying descent American citizens thinking that we will continue to take it. "We are respectful Americans who understand what is at stake here, we are fearful for our future and for the future of our children and we refuse to idly sit and watch our country be destroyed " said one interviewed at the tea party.
Many I saw and and the conversations I heard were to the tune that " This government is turning us into crimminals"
Napolitano accuses our vets and people who oppose leftist ideologies as domestic terrorists-Homeland Security Issued Report on ‘Rightwing Extremism’ Despite Concerns, then apologizes like she thinks it will be forgotten, now is posed with a lawsuit that somehow the mainstream media failed to cover?
http://www.thomasmore.org/qry/page.taf?id=19 T
This comes after much talk of imposing the "fairness doctrine" silencing opposing speech, covering up religious symbols-White House, Georgetown Say Covering Over Name of Jesus Was Unintended Consequence of Staging and then they lie about it-Georgetown Did Not Cover Over Name of Jesus When First Lady Laura Bush Spoke, repeal of FOCA and DOMA,rescinding supreme court decisions, students being punished for praying,the denial that we should protect our borders, the fact that Eric Holder and Obama as well as his congress say one thing and do something else, are anything but transparent, making friends with communist countries-Obama Making Friends With Cuba ,now there is talk of tightening guns laws and re-instating the ban, The reason they said they will not push the gun ban is because it is a sensitive subject!!!Obama Pledges to Enforce Gun Laws; No Assault Weapons Ban What about the Constitution Mr. President? Unpopular? Who cares if it is unpopular-It is our constituional right to bear arms and you can't touch it!The list of atrocities could go on for pages! Don't forget about how Bush was blamed for the economic collapse saying it was inherited...Here is a video proving that he warned us of the possibility of what we are facing now-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM&NR=1
(This video even surprised me!)
Do you really think that all of these issues will allow us to believe there is any sincerity in anything Congress says or our new saviour? Horsepucky! This adminisration as others before are liars!!! I have chosen simply to target this administration in my blog because you cannot change the past,well you couldn't until liberal-progressives polluted every office and the media across the country, you can change the future and no president in history has done so much damage in such a short time...Will Americas constitution be ripped off the wall in the next hundred days? It has been desacrated the first hundred for sure.
Wake up you sleepy Americans, many of you act like you are on some kind of quaalude or happy pills.
All is not rosey nor will it ever be as long as there are those who insist on taking from those who have and giving it to those who have not or pushing, "forcing" their oppressive agendas on others.
You can continue to call us what you will and do as you will as we sit patiently, peacefully but at some point everone loses their self-control- look at the liberals during propostion 8.
For God is our source of peace and knowing we are not perfect because we are human allows us to understand that we must resist our temporal aggressions. We understand that we are not of this world. This may explain why the liberals have more of a problem with self-control because if they do not have a reliance on God, who then temperes theres?
Many I saw and and the conversations I heard were to the tune that " This government is turning us into crimminals"
Napolitano accuses our vets and people who oppose leftist ideologies as domestic terrorists-Homeland Security Issued Report on ‘Rightwing Extremism’ Despite Concerns, then apologizes like she thinks it will be forgotten, now is posed with a lawsuit that somehow the mainstream media failed to cover?

This comes after much talk of imposing the "fairness doctrine" silencing opposing speech, covering up religious symbols-White House, Georgetown Say Covering Over Name of Jesus Was Unintended Consequence of Staging and then they lie about it-Georgetown Did Not Cover Over Name of Jesus When First Lady Laura Bush Spoke, repeal of FOCA and DOMA,rescinding supreme court decisions, students being punished for praying,the denial that we should protect our borders, the fact that Eric Holder and Obama as well as his congress say one thing and do something else, are anything but transparent, making friends with communist countries-Obama Making Friends With Cuba ,now there is talk of tightening guns laws and re-instating the ban, The reason they said they will not push the gun ban is because it is a sensitive subject!!!Obama Pledges to Enforce Gun Laws; No Assault Weapons Ban What about the Constitution Mr. President? Unpopular? Who cares if it is unpopular-It is our constituional right to bear arms and you can't touch it!The list of atrocities could go on for pages! Don't forget about how Bush was blamed for the economic collapse saying it was inherited...Here is a video proving that he warned us of the possibility of what we are facing now-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM&NR=1

mainstream media Sucks!!!
Yesterday was an awesome experience, to stand with likelinded folks, the frustrattion was obvious by the signs and conversations that were heard but was mainly the fear and the concern our fellow citizens felt about the direction of this country. Peoples were well mannered and excited to be there to show the support for one another. I was honored to stand with such individuals.

Although I had expected some opposition there was none, except as I was walking to my car holding my flag, a young punk kid yelled "Death to America-Heil Hitler". I was not surprised by the comments but hurt that people feel they have been given the freedom to speak such defammatory gestures. I thought for a moment about him and realized although he was obviously against America, he was smart enough to realize the direction we are headed while so many others seem to still have their heads in the sand.

"Right wing extremists?"
Right wing extremists? Is that what patriotic, anti-socialist Americans are called now...the ones who cling to their guns and religion? This insinuation is obvious to those who know nothing of our founding fathers, our constitution or any of the other founders documents much less the knowledge of the history of this once great nation. Ignorance has indeed plagued this nation so much , in fact, that Americans do not even know what it means to be an American!
The following is a report from the DHS (dept of homeland security):
Most of this isn't new since DHS assesses all types of scenarios, but this one kinda makes ya go "hmm" especially in light of recent Missouri / militia report debacle. Thought at first 9-pg PDF on WND site might be a spoof but see :Federal agency warns of radicals on right on Washington Times
Homeland Security on guard for 'right-wing extremists'Returning U.S. military veterans singled out as particular threatsPosted: April 12, 2009 9:40 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily
WASHINGTON - A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed "right-wing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.The report, titled "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," dated April 7, states that "threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts." Full article on WND
p.s. Wasn't sure if DHS report listed on WND site was legit but Washington Times' 4/14 article references quotes from DHS staffers and they don't deny it. See also Federal agency warns of radicals on right on Washington Times
Rumors abound that left wing radical groups will insite chaos at these events trying to make it look like we are violent militia groups, lunatics who have gone awry. It Figures, all out hostility on those whom have given their lives, money and support to a country that has now, like so many other countries ...turned their back...Nice Job and Kudos to the government designed to serve the people but instead makes them out to be criminals!!!

History of the tea party
Tomorrow's Tea Party Boise will climax with a 12:30 p.m. rally at Capitol Park, right across the street from the state capitol.Guest speakers will include Rep. Lenore Hardy Barrett, a fierce opponent of tax increases, Rep. Dick Harwood, author of a resolution designed to protect Idaho sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, and Rep. Phil Hart, who knows as much about the malignant growth of the federal income tax as any man alive.
I hope you will join us. Details can be found at www.teapartyboise.com. Founding Father Ben Franklin is also expected to put in an appearance.The original Boston Tea Party, an event which energized the drive for American independence, was triggered by a three penny per pound increase in the price of tea. According to Jane Cook, writing at Townhall.com, this today would be like being forced to shell out $9.98 for a pound of Starbuck's Pike Place Roast instead of $9.95.
Tomorrow's Tea Parties - in Boise and elsewhere - have been triggered, on the other hand, by an $800 billion stimulus package, a federal deficit that will run to $1.75 trillion this year, and annual trillion dollar deficits for years to come that will place an unbearable tax burden on us, our children, and their children and grandchildren after them.By 1773, Boston merchants had been chafing for three years at the unfair market advantage this tax had given to London tea merchants, who had been given a monopoly over the North American market.
The monopoly and the tax were in essence a stimulus package for the East India Trading Company, an effort to keep the company from economic collapse. It was too big to fail.When three ships loaded up with tea arrived in Boston Harbor on Nov. 29, 1773, local residents decided they'd had enough. Armed colonists prevented the ships from being unloaded for more than two weeks.Leaders such as Sam Adams were angered that colonists were being taxed and yet had no elected representatives. Taxation without representation, they argued, was fundamentally unjust. (Today, with 40% of the American people paying no taxes at all, we have something even worse: representation without taxation. As an observer said, "He who robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.")
But corruption was also a driving force for the original Tea Party. Customs officials - including sons of the Massachusetts governor - were pocketing personal profits from the tea tax.Hmm... burdensome taxation coupled with rampant corruption. Something seems rankly familiar here.The Boston Tea Party involved more than 5,000 of Boston's 15,000 residents, who gathered at Faneuil Hall on December 16, 1773 to see if the governor would send the tea-laden ships back to England.All hell broke loose when they received word that the governor would allow the ships to unload their cargo. Said one eyewitness, "You'd thought that the inhabitants of the infernal regions had broke loose.
"Late that same night, 200 tea partiers, poorly disguised as Indians, boarded the ships, used hatchets and axes to break into the chests of tea, and by 9 p.m. that night the contents of every chest - 45 tons worth - had been tossed overboard, while thousands watched from the streets.They then marched off the boats and down the street with a fifer leading the parade.As an editorial in the DC Examiner says, this original protest thus "was neither spontaneous nor a mere lark." Planning had been taking place for weeks prior to the gathering, and Sam Adams had established a pre-arranged signal (his announcement at the meeting, "This meeting can do no more to save the country") for the boarding of the ships.As "Clarendon" says, "They were committing an act of insurrection, not political theater." His Majesty's troops did nothing to stop the Tea Party.
In fact, the British Admiral, John Montague, leaned out of a window as the patriots marched by on the street below. "Boys," he said, "You have had a fine, pleasant evening for your Indian caper, haven't you? But mind, you have got to pay the fiddler yet."And quickly the fiddler demanded his due. Parliament responded by passing the Intolerable Acts, revoking the colonial charter of Massachusetts and sending 5,000 additional soldiers to occupy the city and take up residence in people's homes.
They shut down the port of Boston, and removed all civilian governing authority, replacing it with Royal rule. General Gage immediately went about trying to confiscate gunpowder and arms stored in towns throughout the colony, actions which eventually produced the Second Amendment, which protects the "right of the people to keep and bear Arms."The Intolerable Acts also gave rise in time to the Third Amendment, which prohibits the forced quartering of soldiers in private homes.
The Crown also prohibited even peaceful assemblies in the wake of the Tea Party, giving rise to the plank in the First Amendment that guarantees "the right of the people peaceably to assemble."It is that plank that guarantees the right of the people to host Tea Parties in public places all across the fruited plain. It will be instructive to see if local authorities make further attempts, as they have done in come cities, to block peaceful tea parties based on permitting issues or some such thing.
Today's Tea Parties are mild and sedate in comparison to the risks taken by our forefathers. Perhaps some of that temperance is due to the fact that we ourselves elected the people who did this to us.Tomorrow's protests are important, and we can hope lawmakers will take note. And yet if tomorrow's Tea Parties do not lead to a concerted grassroots effort to elect genuine social and fiscal conservatives at all levels of government, conservatives who take a solemn oath not to raise our taxes and a sacred vow to protect traditional values, in the end it will be nothing but "sound and fury, signifying nothing."Jane Cook : Savoring the Original Boston Tea Party - Townhall.comwww.dcexaminer.com >> Tapscott's Copy Desk - Here's the real story behind the Tea Party Protests

Easter -A celebration of the death, burial and ressurrection
Yesterday was Easter, and it is a lengthy tradition that the nation (including the federal government) honors that special event with a holiday.Since 1971, the Monday following Easter has been observed as the official day of commemoration, but as early as 1776, signer of the Declaration Robert Treat Paine noted in his diary (April 8) that Congress did not meet on the Monday following Easter; and to this day, Congressmen still refer to the weekend holiday as the "Easter Recess."
Celebrating holidays is a practice with Biblical origins. God told the nation to set aside certain days every year as memorials, or holidays (e.g., Exodus 23:14, 17). The purpose of those memorials (i.e., holidays) was two-fold: (1) to stop on that day and remember what God had done for them; and (2) to teach their children and the rising generation about the importance of that day. (This two-fold practice is applicable not only for Easter but for all other holidays as well, including New Years, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.)Today, as much of the nation will abstain from work in honor of Easter, let's also remember to extend the significance of Easter beyond yesterday's church service.
Here are a few Scriptural thoughts about Easter to keep its memory fresh today:
He is not here! He is risen, just as He said! MATTHEW 28:6
This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. ACTS 2:32
Jesus was declared to be the Son of God with power, by the resurrection from the dead. ROMANS 1:4
Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures: He was buried and He rose again the third day – all according to the Scriptures. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4
Remember that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. 2 TIMOTHY 2:8
Happy Easter and remember those who celebrate holidays are those who indirectly acknowledge Christ whether they know it or not!

She was assigned for three months to advise him at the firm.Also connected with the firm was William Ayers' wife Bernadine Dohrn, who was working there when Michelle Obama was hired. A member of her husband's former terrorist group, the Weather Underground, Dohrn had planted a bomb at a San Francisco police station in 1970 that killed one policeman and partially blinded another, according to an FBI report.
In the late sixties and early seventies, Ayers and his wife were responsible for bombing the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol Building, the New York City Police Headquarters, and other buildings. After being on the run for a decade, they surrendered to authorities in 1980, only to be set free on a technicality involving the way investigators had obtained evidence.
In 2001, Ayers — who is currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago — told the New York Times he regretted he "didn't do enough" during his days with the Weather Underground.
1990, Feb. — Obama was chosen president of the Law Review, a full-time volunteer position in which he served as editor-in-chief and supervised the Law Review's staff of 80 editors. Obama's election as the first black president of the Law Review was widely publicized and profiled. As a law student, he took his summers off and returned to Chicago, where he worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley & Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990. After graduating with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago.
1990 to 1995 — Public awareness of Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review resulted in a publishing contract for a book about race relations. To recruit him to join their faculty, the University of Chicago Law School gave Obama a fellowship and an office to work on his book.
He initially intended to complete the book in a year, but the project took much longer, as the effort evolved into a personal memoir. So he could work uninterrupted, Obama and his wife Michelle traveled to Bali, where he immersed himself for several months in his manuscript. That's the official version. Recent scientific analysis of the text suggests the manuscript may have been co-authored by William Ayers, by then a nearby neighbor of Barack. The book was published in mid-1995 as Dreams from My Father.
According to one source, Obama initially received a $125,000 advance from publisher Simon and Shuster in 1992 for his book, but failed to produce a manuscript. Although he and his wife did in fact travel to Bali to gain the "peace and quiet" to write, he still produced no publishable draft. Obama was then asked to return part of the advance payment, and the contract was cancelled.
He came back to Chicago, signed a new contract (with Times Book) for $40,000, and in time delivered a completed manuscript. This version of the facts reinforces allegations that Obama had a ghostwriter.

Obama also worked with the Alinsky group "Developing Communities Project" (DCP), of which Obama became director; "ACORN" (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now); and Project Vote.

She was assigned for three months to advise him at the firm.Also connected with the firm was William Ayers' wife Bernadine Dohrn, who was working there when Michelle Obama was hired. A member of her husband's former terrorist group, the Weather Underground, Dohrn had planted a bomb at a San Francisco police station in 1970 that killed one policeman and partially blinded another, according to an FBI report.
In the late sixties and early seventies, Ayers and his wife were responsible for bombing the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol Building, the New York City Police Headquarters, and other buildings. After being on the run for a decade, they surrendered to authorities in 1980, only to be set free on a technicality involving the way investigators had obtained evidence.
In 2001, Ayers — who is currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago — told the New York Times he regretted he "didn't do enough" during his days with the Weather Underground.
1990, Feb. — Obama was chosen president of the Law Review, a full-time volunteer position in which he served as editor-in-chief and supervised the Law Review's staff of 80 editors. Obama's election as the first black president of the Law Review was widely publicized and profiled. As a law student, he took his summers off and returned to Chicago, where he worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley & Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990. After graduating with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago.
1990 to 1995 — Public awareness of Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review resulted in a publishing contract for a book about race relations. To recruit him to join their faculty, the University of Chicago Law School gave Obama a fellowship and an office to work on his book.
He initially intended to complete the book in a year, but the project took much longer, as the effort evolved into a personal memoir. So he could work uninterrupted, Obama and his wife Michelle traveled to Bali, where he immersed himself for several months in his manuscript. That's the official version. Recent scientific analysis of the text suggests the manuscript may have been co-authored by William Ayers, by then a nearby neighbor of Barack. The book was published in mid-1995 as Dreams from My Father.
According to one source, Obama initially received a $125,000 advance from publisher Simon and Shuster in 1992 for his book, but failed to produce a manuscript. Although he and his wife did in fact travel to Bali to gain the "peace and quiet" to write, he still produced no publishable draft. Obama was then asked to return part of the advance payment, and the contract was cancelled.
He came back to Chicago, signed a new contract (with Times Book) for $40,000, and in time delivered a completed manuscript. This version of the facts reinforces allegations that Obama had a ghostwriter.
