What motivates fundamental Muslims to violence? Much effort has gone into answering this. Muslim apologists are quick to point out Christians have also committed violence. Secularists suggest anybody who believes in God is prone to violence, conveniently ignoring the atheistic killings of the French Revolution, Stalin's purges and Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution.

In an attempt to uncover motivations, founders of the world's two largest religions can be compared. According to the www.CIA.gov World Factbook, the world's 6.5 billion people are 33.32 percent Christian and 21.01 percent Muslim.

If a computer acts up, the technician resets it to the default settings it had when it left the factory. If followers of a religion act up, one should examine the default settings the religion had when it left its founder.

One can examine the life of Jesus from the four Gospels.

One can examine the life of Muhammad from the Quran, Hadith and sources like the Sirat Rasul Allah.

The Quran is a collection of private revelations Muhammad received between A.D. 610-632. Conflicting versions were passed down orally until Caliph Uthman standardized them around A.D. 650.

The Hadith are stories about Muhammad passed down orally until Caliph Umar II began collecting them around A.D. 717-720.

The Sirat Rasul Allah, or "The Life of the Prophet of Allah," was written by Ibn Ishaq between A.D. 707-773 and preserved in copies by Ibn Hisham (d. 833) and al-Tabari (838-923). In 1861, Sir William Muir published an English translation, "The Life of Mahomet." Edward Rehatsek's translation, edited by Michael Edwardes, was presented to the Royal Asiatic Society of London in 1898. Oxford University published Alfred Guillaume's translation in 1955.

A review of these resources reveal:

• Jesus was a religious leader.
• Muhammad was religious leader and a military leader.
  
• Jesus never killed anyone.
• Muhammad killed an estimated 3,000 people, including beheading 700 Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina, A.D. 627:

"The Jews surrendered and the apostle confined them in Medina. … Then the apostle went out to the market … and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. ... There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Ka'b what he thought would be done with them. He replied, 'Will you never understand? Don't you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!' This went on until the apostle made an end of them." (Sirat Rasul Allah)

• Jesus never owned slaves.
• Muhammad received a fifth of the prisoners taken in battle, including women. (Sura 8:41)

"Muhammad gave command and the heads of the two chiefs were severed from their bodies. The scene of torture and bloodshed was hardly ended when Muhammad sent Bilal to fetch the wife of Kinana. ... He cast his mantle around her in token that she was to be his own." (Conquest of Khaybar, A.D. 628, Sirat Rasul Allah)

"The apostle occupied the Jewish forts … taking prisoners as he went. Among these were Safiya, the wife of Kinana. … The apostle chose Safiya for himself. The other prisoners were distributed among the Muslims." (Sirat Rasul Allah)

"Married women are forbidden unto you, except those whom your right hands possess (taken in battle.)" (Sura 4:24)

• Jesus never married.
• Muhammad had many wives.

"Anas said, 'The prophet used to visit all his wives in an hour round, during the day and night and they were 11 in number.' I asked Anas, 'Had the prophet the strength for it?' Anas replied, 'We used to say that the prophet was given the strength of 30 (men).'" (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Bk. 5, No. 268)

"Muhammad said: 'Woman can be married for religion, her fortune, or her beauty. So marry one for the religion.'" (Abu Issa al-Tarmidi, Sunan al-Tarmidi, Medina n.d., p.275, B: 4, H:1092)

"Prophet, we have made lawful to you … the slave girls whom Allah has given you as booty." (Sura 33:50)

When Muhammad's behavior is reviewed, Muslim scholars point out that King David was also a prophet yet he killed people, owned slaves and had many wives.

The response is still that Jesus never killed anyone, never owned slaves and never married. David only wanted a small piece of land – there is no Bible command for Jews to subdue the world.

• Jesus never forced followers to continue believing. After Jesus made a difficult saying, "many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' Then Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.'" (John 6:31-69)
• Muhammad forced followers to continue believing, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Hadith al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Bk. 84, No. 57)
  
• Jesus taught God was our Father (Matthew 6:10).
• Muhammad taught it was blasphemy to call Allah your father (Sura 5:18)
  
• Jesus taught man was made in God's image. (Matthew 22:20, ref. Gen. 1:26-27, 9:6)
• Muhammad taught Allah has no image. (Sura 42:11, Sura 112:4)
  
• Jesus taught "forgive those who trespass against you." (Matthew 6:10-15)
• Muhammad taught to avenge trespasses against your honor, family or religion.

"Narrated Anas bin Malik: 'On the day of the Conquest, the Prophet entered Mecca, wearing a helmet on his head. When he took it off, a man came and said, "Ibn Khatal is clinging to the curtain of the Ka'ba." The Prophet said, "Kill him."'" (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 5, Book 59, No. 582)

"Ibn Khatal ... had two slave girls who used to sing for him and for his companions songs full of abuse of the Prophet. The Prophet's instructions specified that the two slave girls should also be killed. … Another (to be killed) was al-Huwayrith Nuqaydh Wahb Qusayy, one of those who used to insult him in Mecca." (Sirat Rasul Allah)

• Jesus did not retaliate when violence was committed against him, saying "Father, forgive them." (Luke 23:34)
• Muhammad retaliated when violence was committed against him, ordering the death of his enemies.

"Muhammad sent Abdullah to use diplomacy to gain an opportunity to assassinate Sofyan. Abdullah went forth, pretending to be on his Sofyan's side, and when the moment was right, cut off his head. He carried it to Muhammad, who was in the Mosque in Medina. Muhammad was so gratified, he gave the assassin his staff, saying: 'This shall be a token betwixt you and me on the day of resurrection. Verily, few on that day shall have anything to lean upon.'" (Sirat Rasul Allah).

"Ibn Sa'd Tabaqat reported: 'The apostle of Allah entered through Adhakhir into Mecca. … He ordered six men and four women to be killed." (Kitab al-Tabaqat, written by Ibn Sa'd (A.D. 745-845), Vol. 2, p. 168.)

• Following Jesus was voluntary, from the inside out.
• Following Muhammad could be coerced, from the outside in.

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued." (Sura 9:29)

• A martyr in Christian and Jewish thought is one who dies for his faith.
• A martyr in Islamic thought is one who dies for his faith while killing infidels.

"Narrated Abu Huraira: 'The Prophet said, "The person who participates in (holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr)."'" (Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Bk. 2, No. 35)

• Christianity teaches God wants a personal relationship with each individual.
• Islam teaches individuals cannot have a personal relationship with Allah, as he is transcendent and unknowable.
  
• Jesus' religion is known for forgiveness and love.
• Muhammad's religion is known for obedience and fear.
  
• None of Jesus' Apostles led armies. A village did not receive Jesus "and when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, 'Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elias did?' But he turned and rebuked them, and said, 'Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.'" (Luke 9:52-56)
• All of the caliphs who followed Muhammad led armies. (Caliphs Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Muawiyya, the Umayyads, the Abbasids, etc.)
  
• In the first 300 years of Christianity, there were 10 major Roman persecutions, and Christians were fed to lions in the Colosseum. Never did Christians lead an armed resistance against those who attacked them.
• In the first 300 years of Islam, Muslim armies conquered Arabia, Persia, the Holy Land, North Africa, Spain, Southern France, Central Africa, and invaded vast areas of Asia and Asia Minor.

Fighting is inconsistent with Jesus' example but not Muhammad's, as the Sirat Rasul Allah records Muhammad personally led 27 raids, including Battle of Badr, 624 AD; Battle of Uhud and expulsion of Banu Nadir, 625 AD; Attack on Banu Mustaliq, 626 AD; Battle of the Trench and killing Banu Qurayza, 627 AD; Battle of Khaybar, 628 AD; Battle of Mu’tah, 629 AD; Conquest of Mecca, Battle of Hunayn, Battle of Auras and Siege of al-Ta’if, where Mohammed used a catapult, 630 AD; Battle of Tabouk, Subjugation of Banu Thaqif (Yemen) and subjugation of Ghassanids (Arab Christians), 631 AD.

Jesus's teaching on how to treat enemies:

• Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for them which despitefully use you (Matthew 5:44).
• Resist not evil (Matthew 5:39).
• If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to them the other (Matthew 5:39).
• If someone takes your coat, give them your shirt (Matthew 5:40).
• If someone make you carry something one mile, carry it two (Matthew 5:41).
• Forgive and you shall be forgiven (Matthew 6:14).
• Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matthew 7:1).
• Blessed are the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9).
• Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy (Matthew 5:7).
• Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not kill, but I say who ever is angry with his brother is in danger of the judgment (Matthew 5:21-22).
• Treat others the same way you want them to treat you (Luke 6:27-36).
• Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, whatever you do to the very least you have done unto me (Matthew 25:40).

Muhammad's teaching on how to treat enemies:

• Infidels are your sworn enemies (Sura 4:101).
• Be ruthless to the infidels (Sura 48:29).
• Make war on the infidels who dwell around you (Sura 9:123, 66:9).
• Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day (Sura 9:29).
• Strike off the heads of infidels in battle (Sura 47:4).
• If someone stops believing in Allah, kill him (al-Bukhari 9:84:57).
• Take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends (Sura 5:51, 60:13).
• Never be a helper to the disbelievers (Sura 28:86).
• Kill the disbelievers wherever we find them (Sura 2:191).
• No Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel (al-Bukhari 1:3:111).
• The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land (Sura 5:33).

What motivates fundamental Muslims to violence? Where Jesus was a religious leader, Muhammad was a religious leader and a military leader, thus the effort to separate the militant aspect of Islam from the religious aspect is an attempt to split Muhammad.

The closer one follows the example of Jesus, the more peaceful is one's motivation.

The closer one follows example of Muhammad, the more militant is one's motivation.

ALERT: San Diego City Council Declares a Day in Honor of the Abortion Industry

The James Hartline Report

When Good and Evil Collide

San Diego City Council Honors the Abortion Industry

By Declaring Reproductive Choice Day

in the City of San Diego

Five Courageous Christians Stand Up For Life As the

San Diego City Council Votes Unanimously To Declare

A Day Of Honor For San Diego's Abortion Industry

(JHReport) The horrors of the abortion industry were front and center in the San Diego City Council chambers on February 19, 2008 as the San Diego City Council declared Reproductive Choice Day in the City of San Diego. The declaration to honor the abortion industry in San Diego was initiated by lesbian San Diego City Councilwoman Toni Atkins. Prior to her election as a member of the San Diego city council, Toni Atkins managed a number of abortion clinics, as well as being the Chair of the Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

At odds with Councilwoman Atkins and her use of the city council as a vehicle for promoting the abortion industry were five outspoken Christian activists who attended the Feb. 19th city council meeting. During the contentious debate over the abortion honoring proclamation, San Diego city council candidate James Hartline and local pro-life activist Eddie Brown went toe-to-toe with Atkins and the abortion industry. After the Christian pro-life speakers had issued their fervent pleas asking the council to vote no on issuing the proclamation, the San Diego City Council voted unanimously to declare Reproductive Choice Day in the City of San Diego. Once again, a number of San Diego city councilmembers who claim to be Christians sided with the killing of unborn children and the abortion industry. Councilmember Tony Young was not present for the vote.

Eddie Brown retired three years ago from the Navy to become one of America's most recognized voices in the growing pro-life movement. Brown, 28, changed his entire schedule the day before the Feb. 19th council meeting when he found out that Atkins had scheduled a hearing to honor the abortion industry. Eddie Brown has given his entire post-miliary life to the saving of countless unborn babies. He is a man who understands the pain of losing a child. Eddie and his wife April recently lost their first child to a miscarriage. April Brown is currently blessed to be pregnant with another child.

During the Feb. 19th hearing, Eddie Brown issued a truly historic plea on behalf of the unborn children who are being slaughtered in the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood. For six minutes, Eddie Brown's inspiring and thought-provoking presentation caused everyone present in the council chambers to sit transfixed on the podium and its speaker. He reminded Atkins and the other pro-abortion councilmembers that there is a higher authority that they will be held accountable to than just the voters. Brown warned the council that a "prophetic generation" has been arising in America since the 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the United States.

Joining Eddie Brown at the podium was Gordon MacIlvaine, a 31 year-old former teacher who is currently seeking a Masters in Education. Like Eddie Brown, MacIlvaine is involved in a local prayer and pro-life ministry called the Justice House of Prayer.

Followng Eddie Brown was longtime Christian activist and city council candidate James Hartline. Hartline called upon the city council to stop using the taxpayer's precious time and money during council meetings to honor Councilwoman Atkins' obsession with the abortion industry. Hartline stated that each year, in his estimation, the San Diego city council uses up over three entire work days by issuing city proclamations, which in most cases are issued on behalf of the special interests of councilmembers. He also noted that the photographs which are taken of councilmembers with the recepients of these proclamations are then later used during those same councilmembers' reelection campaigns.

Standing with Hartline at the podium was Julie Smith, who Hartline calls, "one of his faithful assistants." Smith, a mother and grandmother, is an outspoken supporter of life and a strong opponent of the abortion movement. Both Smith and Hartline are longtime members of Mission Valley Christian Fellowship, a church where members are encouraged to take active roles in the affairs of their city government.

Opening up the battlefront for the Christian Community during the Feb. 19th city council hearing was community activist and senior citizen Don Stillwell. Don Stillwell has been attending local city council hearings for many years. During his dozens of appearances at city hall, Stillwell has constantly had to remind council president Scott Peters to say the Pledge of Allegiance before starting the council meetings. Councilman Peters, who claims to be a Christian, is a major donor to Planned Parenthood.

Councilwoman Donna Frye, a former candidate for mayor in San Diego, represents the beach community on the city council. Frye was especially negative to Hartline and the other pro-lifers during the debate over the proclamation to honor the abortion industry. Donna Frye has spent years on the city council mocking Christians and fighting every attempt by James Hartline to bring moral values back to the city council.

After Hartline had concluded his remarks, Frye stated, "I support a woman's right to choose, I always will, I always have." After Frye concluded her comments in support of the abortion industry, one bystander commented to Hartline that he felt Frye had somehow crossed "a point of no return" regarding her anti-christian mentality.

From repeatedly voting to remove the Mt. Soledad Cross from a Veteran's War Memorial to voting to affirm a legal brief in support of same-sex marriages, Donna Frye has become a controversial contradiction to her famous surfer husband Skip Frye. Skip Frye was once a very public born again Christian, but after years of attacks on the Christian Community by his wife Donna, few believe that Skip Frye still follows an Evangelical Christian path.

At the end of 2008, Toni Atkins will clean out her city council office and take her many years of rabid homosexual and abortion activism with her. Atkins will be termed out and pro-life activist James Hartline is determined to make sure that her city council seat is not replaced with another misguided proponent of radicalized anti-christian ideals. For the past eight months, James Hartline has been campaigning to become the next city council representative from San Diego's District 3 which is currently represented by Atkins.

For six years, Hartline has been regularly and consistently confrontling the corruptive and immoral agenda of both Councilwoman Toni Atkins and Councilwoman Donna Frye. There has been no greater proponent of strong Christian values at San Diego's City Hall over the past decade than James Hartline. Hartline has paid a price, however. From receiving repeated death threats to being ostracized by many San Diego pastors, Hartline has been tried and tested in the fires of a city that is on the brink of a complete moral breakdown.

That has not stopped James Hartline or his potent activism. In fact, instead of fading away, Hartline says that he is just getting started. Take for example the words that he declared in his speech as he opposed the vote to declare a day in honor of the abortion industry in the City of San Diego. Hartline stated:

"Today's vote on this proclamation is about the promotion of the abortion industry.

Today's proclamation is all about Councilwoman Atkin's obsession with abortion.

"The idea that we have continuously been forced to have our name used to honor the

abortion industry in this city because Councilwoman Atkins is obsessed with

abortion is something that voters in the city of San Diego need to finally declare:

Enough is enough!

"We are once again outraged that we are being forced to have a personal obsession

of Councilwoman Atkins forced upon us. We do not want our names being used to

honor the abortion industry. When these proclamations are declared by the city,

it does so in our name."

James Hartline also looked the council squarely in the face and warned each member:

"Any council person that votes today for this proclamation to honor the abortion industry will never, ever get our votes in any future elections. We will make sure that every voter in San Diego and San Diego County is made aware of those who vote for this heinous proclamation."

Apparently, Councilman Brian Maienschein did not heed Hartline's warning. Maienschein, who has announced he is running for the San Diego City Attorney's seat, has told Chistians in San Diego that he is a fellow Christian. Maienschein, who is now seeking out the support of Evangelical Christians for his upcoming campaign, has repeatedly betrayed those same Christians by voting for gay pride and pro-abortion proclamations. By voting to honor the abortion industry, Maienschein has clearly demonstrated that he is not going to honor his previously professed Christianity while seeking out the Christian vote.

With over 17,000 daily readers and thousands more on various other news websites throughout America, James Hartline has one of the most effective and established networks for conveying information to San Diego Christians. One of the things Hartline has told JHReport he intends to do after the Feb. 19th vote is to make sure that voters are aware of how the council voted on the abortion industry proclamation.

"No Christian of conscience can vote for Councilman Brian Maienschein to become our city attorney after he so blatantly violated his commitment to Jesus Christ by honoring the abortion industry," says an emphatic James Hartline. "It is time we vote out these hypocritical politicians who will say anything to get our vote and then ever so quickly they will betray us and our values. The day of dishonoring us without consequences is officially over," Hartline adds.

A Nationwide Silent Siege on Passover April 26, 2008

The Mercy Seat - April 26, 2008 A Nationwide Silent Siege on Passover In 2008, America finds herself in a place similar to that of 1860...a nation laden with the guilt of her innocent dead. In the 1860's, the issue was slavery. Today, we bear the guilt of 50 million unborn babies. The heart of the Lord is every bit as moved today as it was then. Abraham Lincoln, speaking at his second inaugural address, drew a direct connection between the heart of God and the Civil War... "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue . . . until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." America is facing a dire crisis. If 600,000 men died in the battlefields of the Civil War--both North and South, black and white--for the shed blood of the slaves, then what will it mean to America--black and white and North and South--if God brings a day of reckoning for the shed blood of 50 million babies? In the twilight hours before God's most severe judgment on Egypt, the blood of the lamb applied to the doorpost caused judgment to "pass over" that home. Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and it is His blood that must be applied without delay to the doorposts of our national guilt. During this season of Passover, will you join us as we cry for mercy for our nation? On Saturday, April 26th Bound4LIFE and TheCall will be mobilizing Christians to gather at supreme courts in all 50 states along with the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC. Would you answer this urgent call to prayer and join with thousands across the nation on this day when we will be holding a simultaneous Silent Siege of every Supreme Court? Coinciding with Passover, the purpose of this day will be to stand in silent prayer before the doors of our justice system and plead the blood of Jesus. We urge you to make the journey either to Washington, DC or to the supreme court in your own state. For more information, court locations and to REGISTER go to www.Bound4LIFE.com. Download and circulate the FREE MP3 "Nothing But the Blood" I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it.

SPRING LIFE CHAIN & 40 Days for Life update

Hi Everyone,

First & foremost - As a finale to the spring 40 Days for Life campaign we are planning a Spring Life Chain. This will be similar to last November's Life Chain which attracted close to 400 pro-lifers. Please mark your calenders. There will be three opportunities to participate in the Spring Life Chain.

1. In support of our main goal - TO STOP the PROPOSED PLANNED PARENTHOOD HEADQUARTERS on MLK Jr Blvd - the main Life Chain will be;

Sunday: March 16th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: NE Beech St and MLK Jr. Blvd, Portland (the site of the proposed headquarters).

2. In support of the 40 Days for Life campaign at the Beaverton Planned Parenthood, the MLK Life Chain will be proceeded by a Beaverton Life Chain;

Friday: March 14th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: 12220 SW 1st St, Beaverton (by the Post Office)

3. And to let Planned Parenthood know how serious we are about our support for the unborn we will be holding a life chain at their current headquarters;

Saturday: March 15th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: 3231 SE 50th, Portland (3 blocks N. of Powell Blvd)

This will be a good opportunity for those who have been unable to attend the current Wed all-day vigils at the 50th location.

Please pass along the word about the Spring Life Chain. We will have fliers available soon.

40 Days for Life Update:
This past week our 40 Days vigils were again very successful. At our all-day Wed Vigil at the Planned Parenthood on SE 50th Ave there were approximately 30 participants including many new faces. I need to start keeping a list, but off the top of my head, I'd say we've had people from at least a dozen parishes throughout the Portland/Vancouver area, from Vancouver First Baptist Church & other churches as well.

On Thursday and Friday, February 21st and 22nd, and on Sun, Feb 24, at the vigils at NE Beech & MLK Jr. Blvd folks from many neighboring churches were there as well as people who traveled by bus or car pooled from other locations. Many came from University of Portland and prayed and participated in the Thursday vigil.

On Friday, many people stopped to speak with us and one lady came with the cutest baby in a stroller and thanked us for being out there. She mentioned she had a few abortions and it still haunted her. One of the men from Precious Children of Portland gave her a big hug and then took both of her hands and prayed with her and for her healing. Minutes after that another lady came up and had the same story and we got to talk with her and she also asked for brochures on healing after an abortion and for resources for pregnant women in need. She encouraged us to reach out and help women so they did not have to go through abortion.

Some young children and a grandmother put some beautiful blue and pink hearts in the ground as the sky grew dark. People stayed well past 5:30 on Fri and around 6:40pm when people were getting in their cars, one man stopped and a lady from Precious Children of Portland thanked him for stopping. His reply, "I could not help but stop."

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers. They make a difference in so many ways. Here's one small way they make a big difference; When I first arrive at a vigil & have those initial feelings of anxiety, I wonder how long they will last. But once I start to pray & realize I am joining with so many others in support of the unborn, I soon find that I don't want to stop. And it is incredibly powerful & encouraging to meet so many brothers and sisters in Christ who are happy to have an opportunity to to be actively pro-life.

Please continue to let others know about 40 Days for Life. And please call or email me if you'd like more info about our vigils or anything else.

And please plan to - Stand For Life for the final Three Days of 40 Days for Life at Three Different Locations at Three Special Spring Life Chains;

- Friday: March 14th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: 12220 SW 1st St, Beaverton (by the Post Office)

- Saturday: March 15th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: 3231 SE 50th, Portland (3 blocks N. of Powell)

- Sunday: March 16th, 2:00 - 4:00pm: NE Beech St and MLK Jr. Blvd, Portland.

Come to as many of these events as possible and tell everyone you know to come and pray and sing. Last fall we had hundreds on MLK so let us have thousands at all three of these vigils.

Finally, below is a very important message from the Family Research Council - about current action being taken by some pro-abortion members of congress. Please take time to read it & consider letting your representative know how you stand. It is an excellent opportunity for community outreach - to let others know how important it is for us to inform our representatives in government how unpopular it is for them to support the abortion lobby. Please pass it along.

Thanks again & God bless all of you,
Randy Stewart

The House Foreign Affairs Full Committee markup on the PEPFAR/Global AIDS re authorization bill has been re-scheduled for Thursday, February 28. The current draft by new Chairman Howard Berman (D-Calif.) still deemphasizes the values that have made our international anti-HIV program successful and that have made the United States respected in the countries where it is implemented. The Berman bill would eliminate that success to create a massive $10 billion per year pot that will be tilted toward abortion operators and promoters.

While President Bush is touring Africa and receiving nearly unanimous praise from African leaders on his AIDS program, Rep. Berman and the Democratic Leadership are taking PEPFAR, created to protect future generations in Africa, and trying to change it into a program that would instead help to eliminate those generations. This bill was originally passed and signed into law only with hard work from both sides of the aisle. Now the Democratic leadership is shutting out any pro-life, pro-Africa voices and eliminating the successful ABc model of promoting abstinence, being faithful and, only when necessary, using condoms. Rep. Berman instead would mandate full integration with abortion operators and could even require the provision of abortion, all paid for by American taxpayers. Furthermore, the draft bill removes the Prostitution Pledge, essentially giving the U.S. government's stamp of approval on prostitution and sex trafficking. You need to e-mail your Representative to stop this from happening!

Please take the time and send the Congress a clear message now. Aid for Africa must not reward the abortion lobby. Thank you for taking part in this effort!
Don't Turn Over Global AIDS Funds to the Abortion Lobby
Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
President
P.S. Please forward this alert to your friends. The Global AIDS program can exemplify American compassion, while reinforcing abstinence, marital fidelity, and messages against sex trafficking. Click here to help maximize the messages we send to Congress on this vital issue.

"The Chinese People, Shackled in Chains, Welcome the Olympics!"

~ Chinese Blogger & Poet Guo Weidong ~

The U.S. Olympic Team Prepares to Go For the Gold in Beijing as

China's Brutal Communist Government Forces Mothers to Get Abortions,

and Political Prisoners Are Executed So That Their Organs Can Be

Harvested and Sold on the Black Market to Wealthy Elites.

Chinese House Churches are Bulldozed, Religious Leaders are Imprisoned,

and Political Dissidents are Tortured as America Honors China by Sending

The U. S. Olympic Team to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Will American Christians Stand Up To China's Evil Red Dragon?

Meng Shulan's fearful and sleepy eyes abruptly pop open as she hears the agonizing screams pierce through the cold and merciless winter night. The tormenting screams are a painful reminder that Meng Shulan will never find a complete night of rest in her homeland of China as long as the brutal Communist regime in Beijing is allowed to continue its murderous reign of terror. The screams belong to Meng's friend, Zhou Chenxiu. Once again Zhou is being beaten by the local police because she will not reveal the source of the Gospel literature that she distributes in the country town of Moding.

Meng Shulan buries her dreams and her face into her dirty, well-worn pillow. No matter how much she attempts to muffle the sound of her beloved Christian friend screaming in response to the police brutality, Meng knows that the beatings will never stop because Zhou Chenxiu will never tell the state police where she obtains her Bibles and Gospel literature.

Shuang Shuying, a neighbor of Meng Shulan, hears the screams as well. Shuang, a 33 year-old mother of one son, stares silently at the dirt floor in her two room house. As she slowly rocks herself back and forth, Shuang holds back great tears of grief. Her tears trickle down her face as she hears the tormenting sounds of Zhou Chenxiu crying out after each slap in her face and after each punch in her stomach.

Shuang Shuying has much to cry over. It is still painful for her to recall the day, ten years ago, when the medical police broke into her tiny home and drug her away to the abortion clinic. She will never forget the day that she was tied down on the cold, stainless steel table and her precious five month-old baby ripped from her womb. Shuang Shuying is one of the millions of Chinese women who have been victimized under Chinese law which bans any woman from having more than one child.

The Chinese government's forced abortion law is strictly carried out in China against any woman who refuses to willingly abort her pregnancy after the woman has already had her first child. This is the cruel legalization of rape by the murderous Communist regime that has ruled China for nearly sixty years. This is also the same murderous Chinese government that was given the right to hold the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

The Communist Madmen of China have been well-rewarded for their heinous crimes. In an incredible act of hypocrisy and cruelty, United States President George W. Bush has agreed to attend the Olympics in Beijing. According to the New York Times, President Bush said on September 6, 2007 that he has accepted an invitation from President Hu Jintao of China to attend the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, a move that is likely to inflame China’s critics, who are calling for a boycott of the games to protest human rights abuses in that country.

Back in Moding, Meng Shulan is now silent. The beating has stopped for the night and she is returned to her prison cell in the Moding Province labor camp. The labor camps are always busy. Nearly 100 million Chinese Christians live with the possiblity of being taken to one of the Chinese labor camps where they will be beaten, tortured, and deprived of basic human dignity. Their crimes: attending Christian services at one of China's secret house churches or distributing Bibles and Gospel literature.

There are other vile crimes being committed against the oppressed citizens of China by their demonic communist dictators. Yes, many, many other evil crimes. NewsMax reported on December 15, 2004 about the horrific infanticide and forced abortion crimes being perpetrated by the Communist dictators in China. According to NewsMax, the U.S. State Department reported that despite some changes, China's one-child family planning program remains a source of coercion, forced abortions, infanticide and perilously imbalanced boy-girl ratios.

Testimony before the House International Relations Committee focused on a Shanghai woman who, since her second pregnancy in the late 1980s, has been assigned to psychiatric wards, coerced into an abortion, and removed from her job. She is reportedly subject to torture in a labor camp. "Mao Hengfeng," said Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., "is the most egregious example of China's mistreatment of women who do not comply with China's draconian policies, but there are thousands of other victims."

"The one-child policy is the most pervasive source of human-rights violations in China today," said Harry Wu, a human- rights activist who spent 19 years in the Chinese labor camp system. Wu cited a 2003 document from an area of southern Guangdong Province where party secretaries and village heads were told their salaries would be cut in half if, in a 35-day period, they did not reach a goal of sterilizing 1,369 people, fitting 818 with IUDs and carrying out 163 abortions.

While the murderous leaders of Communist China are authorizing a demonic reign of terror against the millions of defenseless citizens of China, there may be one crime that will be committed against the Chinese people in August, 2008 that will be worse than anything they have yet to experience. That crime will be the refusal of America's Olympic athletes to speak out against the murderous crimes being inflicted upon the wonderful Chinese people by their brutal Communist dictators.

U.S. Olympic athletes are now lifting weights, running laps, taking their vitamins and eating plenty of nutritious meals in preparation for the Beijing Olympics. At the same time that U. S. athletes are living in unequaled freedom, Chinese political dissidents like Hu Jia, 34, and his wife, Zeng Jinyan, are being abused, imprisoned and silenced as part of the Chinese Communist regime's oppressive pre-olympic steps.

According to the International Herald Tribune, human rights advocates and Chinese dissidents say that Hu's detention is the most telling example of what they describe as a broadening crackdown on dissent as Beijing prepares to stage the Olympic Games in August. In recent months, several dissidents have been jailed, including a former factory worker in northeastern China who collected 10,000 signatures after posting an online petition titled "We Want Human Rights, Not the Olympics."

"This is a coordinated cleansing campaign," said Teng Biao, a legal expert who has known Hu since 2006. "All the troublemakers — including potential troublemakers — are being silenced before the Olympic Games."

There was a time in America, when the U. S. government had the courage to stand up to oppressive regimes like the Chinese government. There was once a national American front that said NO to the evils of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Today, powerful corporate interests are working through the U. S. government to make trade deals with the dictators in Beijing. Yesterday's great American honor has been exchanged for today's corporate greed.

There is no difference between the slave traders that once controlled U. S. plantations and the Chinese factories that manufacture the billions of dollars worth of goods sold in America's shopping malls. There is no difference between the Apartheid regime that once controlled South Africa and the murderous regime that killed 10,000 Chinese students in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

America's civil rights advocates once spoke out boldly against the world's atrocities. Today those same civil rights advocates are either working for Corporate America or playing politics for financial gain. In fact, many of yesterday's powerful voices for freedom will have their eyes glued to their television screens during the Olympics and their mouths shut as they refuse to speak out against the venemous crimes of Beijing's cruel Communist dictators.

There are many U. S. Olympic Athletes who call themselves Christians. As they win their events in Beijing, they will move aside the heavy gold crosses hanging around their muscular necks to make room for their gold medals. As they are interviewed by network sportscasters, they will wipe sweat from their brows and declare, "I want to thank God, my mother and all of my fans for my great victory today." Will these same Christian U. S. Olympians actually demonstrate their commitment to Christ by calling on the Communist dictatorship in Beijing to let religious freedom ring in China? While the television cameras are rolling and the world's audience is watching, will these Christian gold medal winners give back their Olympic medals in protest of the murderous governmental mobsters that control Communist China?

Indeed, will U.S. athletes be bold enough to boycott the Beijing Olympics? Will these same Christian athletes prove their faith is more than just a feel-good syrupy Joel Osteen sermon by actually bringing Bibles into China where they are so desperately needed....and wanted by the 100 million Chinese Christians who are currently banned from owning a Bible?

While America's Christian athletes will be practicing and racing in Nike shoes made in China and reading Bibles printed at China's Zondervan factory, few, if any, will consider the horrific conditions their fellow Christians in China are enduring. Take the following recent case being reported by China Aid, a watch dog organization that monitors the evil crimes being committed against Chinese Christians at the hands of their Communist government persecutors:

MORE THAN 40 MEMBERS OF CHINESE HOUSE CHURCH ALLIANCE DETAINED

IN INNER MONGOLIA; SOUTH KOREAN MINISTER ALSO MISSING

Xilinhaote City, Inner Mongolia -- China Aid has learned that the President of the Inner Mongolia Branch of the Chinese House church Alliance, Wang Dawei, was detained along with more than 40 co-workers on Wednesday, February 20, 2008. The leaders were in the 3rd day of Bible study when more than 100 Police officers from the State Security Bureau and members of the Religious Affairs bureau disrupted the meeting and detained the ministers. Police officials also confiscated the offering collection and more than 30 boxes of Bibles and other Christian literature. Security Bureau members then searched the personal residence of Wang Dawei later on in the afternoon. The leader of the meeting, a South Korean minister, was also detained during the incident, his whereabouts remain unknown.

The intensity of persecution amongst members of the Chinese House Church Alliance continues to increase as the Beijing Olympics draw near.

American athletes, some wealthy, some students, are all determined to go to Beijing to earn a gold medal necklace and a million dollar endorsement contract should they win their respective events. While U. S. athletes are eating well, getting their massages and garnering the adulation of their U. S. fans and supporters, Chinese citizens will be beaten, tortured, starved and imprisoned.

Bill Getz of the Washington Times reavealed in his March 24, 2006 expose that a hellish industry exists in China where human organs are being harvested for sale. According to Getz, a Chinese journalist has uncovered a secret detention center in northern China that is being used by a hospital to harvest human organs for sale to domestic and international buyers.

Jin Zhong, a pseudonym for the journalist who fled China recently, also said in an interview that a failed Chinese intelligence operation led to the 2004 death of a Japanese diplomat who committed suicide rather than give up secrets. On the prisoner abuse, Mr. Jin said he first learned of the harvesting operation between October and December and that the prisoners used were members of the outlawed Falun Gong religious group.

"This is murder, and murder sponsored by a state," said Mr. Jin, who in the past has been a contributor to a Japanese news agency. "It must be stopped."

This is the environment that U. S. athletes will be competing in during the 2008 Olympics. This is the nation that President Bush will celebrate when he visits Beijing to root for Americans to go for the gold.

On a daily basis, Communist thugs roam the streets of Chinese cities looking for Christian house churches. Christians are regularly rounded up, beaten, tortured and imprisoned. Their crimes: holding church services, distributing Bibles and Christian-based literature. Bob Fu, director of the American-based organization China Aid, monitors the ongoing epidemic of religious persecution of Christians by the atheist communist government in China. Fu issued a press release on February 19, 2008 which reads:

21 Major House Church Leaders Sent to Labor Camp in Shandong at the Same Time. LINYI CITY, Shandong, Feb. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the most massive persecution case since 1983, CAA learned 21 major house church leaders were sent to labor camp at the same time recently by Linyi City Re-education through the labor Commission. They were all detained on December 7, 2007 when they gathered together for leadership training with other 249 leaders in Hedong District, Linyi city, Shandong. After paying fines and finishing detention from a few days to a few weeks, 249 were released. The 21 most senior leaders were sentenced to 3 years to 1 year and three months. They were accused as "evil cult" members, an arbitrary charge to any non-registered house churches by the PSB. Among the 21 sentenced, 17 are men and 4 are women.

When the Communist dictators in China were bidding on the 2008 Olympics, the Chinese government promised to improve its heinous restrictions on religous freedoms in China. To this day, China has deceived the world and not delivered on its promises. There are more crackdowns on dissidents and Christians than ever before in China.

While President Bush and Democratic presidential contender Barak Obama will be attending church services this weekend, there will be no talk coming from the pulpits of their respective pastors about the vile torture being inflicted upon Christians in China. Much will be preached about the need for "change" in America and little will be said about the blood running in the streets of pre-olympic Beijing.

According to Prisoner Alert, a ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs, in July 2007, 42-year-old Li Mei and nine Chinese house church leaders were arrested, when they were discovered having a Sunday worship service. They were charged with singing Christian hymns to villagers, showing the JESUS film in a nursing home and praying for healing for a disabled elderly man. The nine were sentenced to "re-education" through labor for 12 to 18 months. Li Mei served part of her one-year sentence in a hospital with both hands chained to her bed. Repeated beatings and torture caused her to require a hysterectomy. She is currently serving the remainder of her sentence at home under house arrest.

On December 22, 2006, Pastor Wang Weiliang and seven other church leaders were sentenced from one year to three and one-half years in prison by the People‘s Court of Xiaoshan District, China. Four are in prison, four received suspended sentences. In prison, the men are forced to make clothing and shoes for export and prohibited from praying openly or reading the Bible. These leaders were arrested after thousands of PSB officers bulldozed their church building on July 29, 2006.

Since Pastor Weilang's arrest and imprisonment for being the leader of a house church, the United States government has continued to encourage even more trade with China. Time after time after time, the Bush administration has financially rewarded China despite its horrific record on human rights. Most Americans will take no notice of the "made in China" stickers attached to the products they buy. Most Americans will take no thought that their purchase of Chinese goods is empowering one of the most cruel dictatorships on the face of the Earth.

On February 7, 2008, Pastor Bob Fu, president of China Aid Association, was awarded the 2007 John Leland Religious Liberty Award at the Library of Congress. When accepting the award, Pastor Fu called on Christians to stand up for believers in China who face harassment, detentions and sometimes death because of their faith. Pastor Fu said, “From my own experience of being arbitrarily detained in a Chinese jail, and from the hundreds of documented cases of harassment, arbitrary detentions, seizing of property, torture and even the death of some of my Christian friends and former coworkers in China, I cannot stay silent for those who share our same faith, but not all our basic freedoms.”

While wealthy U.S. corporations will be sponsoring America's Olympic team, there is virtually no possibility that television giants like ABC, NBC, CBS and ESPN will focus on the atrocities being inflicted upon Chinese Christians in Communist state-run prisons that are within walking distance of the Olympic sports venues. Will America's television viewers hear about the following crime that occured in the Yunan Province on January 23, 2008:

YUNAN, China, Jan. 30 /Christian Newswire/ China Aid Association has learned that members of a House Church in Yunan Province were severely beaten by police officials on the morning of January 23. The incident occurred after two church members walked into the Xishan District's Public Security Bureau office to request an account of the items, including Bibles, that were taken from the church and burned by police officials in early December of 2007. After ignoring the members' request, officials proceeded to violently remove them from the office. One female church member 54-year- old Ms. Liang Guihua was thrown into a wall and rendered unconscious for more than 10 minutes.

~ Take Action~

What would you do if you were trapped in a nation where you were beaten every day for being a Christian? Helpless and hopeless, wouldn't you hope that someone, somewhere in the outside world, would stand up for you? Chinese Christians are defenseless against their evil persecutors? They are crying out for American Christians, who have been given so much prosperity and liberty, to rise up and make their stand for religious freedom in China.

San Diego Christians are critical to the current crisis in China. San Diego County plays a significant role in the battle over the rights of Chinese citizens during the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics. Chula Vista, California is located in the heart of San Diego County. Chula Vista is also home to the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The Training Center rests on a 150-acre complex adjacent to Lower Otay Lake in San Diego County. The center has sport venues and support facilities for nine Olympic sports: archery, canoe/kayak, cycling, field hockey, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, and track & field.

Many U. S. Olympic athletes who will be competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics are practicing at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. Christians in San Diego, as well as every American citizen, must contact the U.S. Olympic team and demand that they issue a public statement that denounces the horrendous abuse of Chinese Christians by the Communist regime in Beijing. In addition, both the Chula Vista City Council and the San Diego City Council must issue declarations calling on the Communist regime in Beijing to release its religious prisoners and allow all Chinese citizens the right to practice their religion freely and without governmental intrustion or oppression.

This may be the finest hour of Christianity in American history. As we make our stand for our oppressed and abused brothers and sisters in China, we expect to hear the shouts of "We are Free! We Are Free!" reigning in every church in China and in every heart of every Christian in America!

Conference Report & Call to Prayer

February 24, 2008 In this issue Conference Recap Prayer Requests "Absolutely awesome!" The best yet!" "Never been to a more enlightening conference!" "How do you argue with speakers who were in Terri Schiavo's room at the end, in the homosexual activist lifestyle as an insider from the earliest days, or a confirmed Muslim terrorist who knows what is going on even inside America today?" "What a tragedy that so many Christians didn't even bother to take advantage of what was right here under their noses in Portland!" "Christians are asleep! We are all into denial and feel good Christianity!" "I am so weary of 'feel good Christianity' that wants to stick its head in the sand! How refreshing!" "When will we wake up and get involved?" These were only a few of the many comments made to me personally that described the observations and concerns of the more than 500 Christians from Oregon, Washington, California and as far away as Florida, Washington D.C., Colorado, and Louisiana. Along with Ben Stein's sobering and troubling film "Expelled" documenting the systematic cleansing of professors and scientists from the American academic community for even mentioning the words "intelligent design", to the refusal of the media to tell the truth, the Conference was a continuing landmark event for the Northwest and a state immersed in political correctness.

Quick Links... Restore America Homepage Our Mission What we believe Endorsements "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; if it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it." Judge Learned Hand

Dr. Johnston Celebrates Liberal Newspaper's Endorsement of Opponent;

Newspaper Editorial Board Misrepresents Dr. Johnston's Positions to the Public in Sunday Editorial

I should feature it as a "Breaking News" alert on my campaign website: "Dr. Johnston's Opponent Gets Endorsement of Liberal, Dishonest Newspaper Editorial Staff." Because of my outspoken conservative stands against abortion, for less state spending, and for "school choice", I did not expect to get this endorsement anyway. However, I was hopeful that I and the issues for which I stand would receive fair treatment in the newspaper after my opponent and I received a fair interview by the Editorial Boards of the Coshocton Tribune and the Times Recorder on February 8.

I was, however, terribly misrepresented by the editorial staff in their editorial on Sunday, February 17. My position on education, on jobs, and on abortion was made thoroughly clear during the interview, and has been made thoroughly clear in the articles on my campaign website. There was no room for confusion on where I stand on the issues. If you doubt it, listen to the interview here: http://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080208/NEWS03/80208024/1004.

First, the editorial board gave the impression in their article that I have not focused on bringing jobs into the area. That is patently false. Most of my campaign literature focuses on doing what is necessary to increase jobs in Ohio. During my fundraisers in Coshocton and Zanesville, I spent most of the time of my lecture on bringing jobs into the area.* During the interview with the editorial boards, I articulated a clear plan that would cause employment to blossom in Ohio.

Secondly, the editorial board misrepresented my position on education and told the reader that I wanted to "disband public education." Nothing could be further from the truth! I want to improve public education by doing what is best for the education of the children instead of what is best for the government system. I have an extensive article detailing my plan to improve the cost efficiency and quality of the education of the public in a manner that would remedy the present unconstitutional system of school funding. I detailed my position on public education during the interview. The editorial board was not ignorant at all of my position on education, so there is no excuse for their insincere caricature of my position in their editorial. I want to work toward a free-market educational system that puts the control of public education into the hands of parents instead of bureaucrats. I want to implement the plank of the Republican Party platform called "school choice." I want to free local educators from the constraints of bad educational policies imposed on them by superiors. I want to free taxpayers from the unreasonable expense of the top-heavy government bureaucracy that doesn't serve their children well. I want to make government schools better, but I don't want to disband public education.

Thirdly, they called me "callous" and made the public think that I wanted public services for the handicapped defunded. On the contrary, I want more - not less - funds to be provided by the public for services for the handicapped and other worthy services! I just want people to be free to decide how much to give and to whom to give it. I don't want to fine, imprison, or confiscate the property of those who fail to yield what the state demands for those services. The confiscatory taxation power of the state should not force Ohioans to give to causes to which they would not give willingly if they had the free choice. I want to limit the state to its constitutionally-justified obligations and let Ohioans be free. The individual is a better steward of his own hard-earned money than bureaucrats and politicians who want to increase their chances of re-election by raiding the treasury to fund their favorite charities and programs back in their district. On this subject, I have been thorough and clear, both during the interview and in the articles on my website, yet again the editorial board misrepresents my views to the public.

Lastly, the editorial board said that my opponent's obvious discomfort with the interview was due to him having to respond to my "outrageous views." That is just patently false. My opponent agreed with me on almost every subject except a few, and often said, "I agree with Dr. Johnston." The only outrageous views were espoused by the editorial staff during the interview. For example, one of them justified the killing of unborn children conceived through rape, and another equated the murder of an innocent person with the execution of capital murderers. Even my opponent had the sense to disagree with their outrageous assertions during the interview.

Conservative candidates for office should never trust the liberal staff of an editorial board. If the Coshocton Tribune and the Times Recorder wanted to campaign for my opponent, they could have at least done it without misrepresenting my views to the public and feigning objectivity. I am encouraged: some citizens have said that an endorsement by our liberal newspaper would have been a terrible blow to my campaign and an indication that I was doing something wrong! My faith is in the Lord and in the people of this district to investigate our positions and our experience and judge the matter rightly. The editorial board may represent the far-left opinions of N.O.W., Handgun Control, the N.E.A., the A.C.L.U., and the National Abortion Rights Action League, but they are fooling themselves to think that they represent the voters of Distict 94.

The Joy and The Agony of Being

A Christian in 21st Century America

There Is A Price To Pay For Making A Stand

As A Christian Candidate In An Anti-Christian World.

~ On The Campaign Trail In 2008 ~

It was Sunday, February 17, 2008 and I had just finished going to the grocery store to buy some fruit to contribute to a local church picnic in the relaxed San Diego neighborhood of Kensington. I was happy to have a brief respite from the harsh schedule of my campaign for the San Diego City Council. I was also gratefully enjoying the early afternoon walk towards the park where friends from Mid-City Christian Fellowship were gathering for food and fellowship. However, my comfortable walk to the park soon turned into a drastic brush with death. Seconds after I had stepped off of the curb and onto the pedestrian crosswalk leading into the park, I was hit by a black four-door Toyota station wagon.

Time seemed to stand still as I watched the car approaching me at about 15 mph. I just assumed that the driver was going to stop at the red light. Instead, this madman behind the wheel kept coming at me. Already six feet into the pedestrian walkway, there was little room for me to maneuver away from the inevitable impact I was about to have with the murderous grill attached to the front of the Toyota.

My shock soon turned into a strange dancing motion that allowed me to roll along the hood of the car and safely land feet first at the left side of the assaultive vehicle. Once again, I have had my faith in God reconfirmed as I was miraculously spared any injury. The driver got out of his car which was now stalled completely across the pedestrian walkway. With bloodshot eyes and a twisted disposition, the driver had been drinking, something he admitted to me when I accused him of being drunk. Because I was not injured and the drunk driver had returned to the accident scene after fleeing, the police said that they would not be charging him. In fact, the police officers only gave him a sobriety test because I had stated that they were going to let a drunk driver leave without charging him which could potentially endanger other vunerable community members.

One hour after I had first been hit by the drunk driver, I finally left the location of the incident and walked into the park. Having my life threatened has become routine for me in the assignment that God has given me to save our nation. Some things are more easy to endure than others. While I expect the constant threats to come my way from the radical gay activists who are determined to stop my stand for Jesus Christ, there are other kinds of spiritual assaults and pitfalls along this path that are not so easy for me to dismiss.

For me, there is nothing so agonizing as the sight of my city suffering the fires of moral decay -- and only a handful of professing Christians willing to come and help me to put out the destructive flames. As I compete for a seat on the San Diego City Council, I am confronted daily by a Christian Community that seems to have been injected with a sedating toxin so spiritually devastating that I fear they may never awaken from their comatose state.

In 2004, we were on the brink of losing a major component of our constitutional right to free religious expression. The cross that sits atop the Mt. Soledad Veteran's War Memorial was close to being removed and most San Diegans had lost all interest in the legal case. I began to rally Christians to reinject themselves into the battle. I was able to get hundreds of Christians to turn out for hearings at the City Council. Long before the rich politicians got involved in the Mt. Soledad Cross battle so that they could gain political favor with the voters at election time, I was crying out for churchgoers to make their stand for our religious freedom at city hall. You can watch one of my many speeches on religious liberty and the Mt. Soledad Cross legal battle at the San Diego City Council by logging into the following:

Click on Break Return and slide time ruler to time of 44:08.

Despite the fact that one million Christians in San Diego are now enjoying the blessing of seeing the Mt. Soledad Cross still standing, only 34 Christian voters have contributed to my campaign for a seat on the San Diego City Council.

After all of these years of fighting for the protection of the kids of my city, and after all of the battles that I have waged to clean up the moral rot in our community, I am virtually treated like a dog by the vast majority of pastors in San Diego. In my campaign for the San Diego City Council only 7 of the 2,000+ pastors in San Diego have endorsed my campaign. These seven courageous pastors are good and faithful men. They are more concerned with pleasing God than what others may think. Out of the 2,000+ pastors in San Diego, only one pastor has contributed financially to my campaign.

Two years ago when the holy city of Jerusalem was about to be infested with some of the most perverted sexual events in history, I was the first voice to cry out against this ungodly injustice. I wrote the first Christian news story about the World Gay Pride event and the plan by gay activists to come to the holy sites in Jerusalem where they would pollute them with evil and vile perversions. Because of my initial reporting on this disgraceful event, a worldwide protest began to stop the World Gay Pride event in Jerusalem. Christians and Jews throughout the world were eventually able to celebrate the stopping of the World Gay Pride event.

Two years later, as I campaign for the San Diego City Council, only 34 Christians out of the millions who have been blessed by my work to stop the World Gay Pride event in Jerusalem have even contributed to my campaign for the city council.

Last year, I was the first Christian writer to report on the horrible event at Petco Park where thousands of young San Diego children were going to be exposed to the gay organization which had hired dangerous pedophiles in 2005 as part of the San Diego Gay Pride festival. Thousands of San Diego parents were able to protect their kids because of my reporting and my Christian activism against the Petco Park assault on the youth of our city. One year later, only 34 Christians and one pastor have said thank you by contributing financially to my campaign for the San Diego City Council.

Over the last five years, I have led the charge to shut down nine pornographic businesses in the city of San Diego. Included in the list of these terrible businesses that are now shut down is a gay bathhouse location where thousands of men over a period of 22 years were exposed to AIDS and illegal drug use. Today, many lives are being spared because this death house is now closed. Today, only 34 Christians have said thank you by contributing to my campaign for the San Diego City Council.

I recently asked God about the role of my particular city council campaign in our city. The Lord responded by letting me know that my campaign is a test for the Christians of San Diego. You see, pastor after pastor preaches in the pulpit about the corruption and immorality in our culture. These same pastors now have a chance to do something about the things they have been preaching about. If they do not support my campaign for the city council, than all of their complaining is just empty rhetoric.

My campaign is a test for me and it is a test for the Christian Community of San Diego. For me, it comes down to my obedience to God. God instructed me to run this race. Whether anybody supports me or not, I still have an obligation to God to follow Him and to remain obedient to His call for my life. For the Christians in San Diego, my campaign is an oppurtunity for them to prove whether their years of complaining about the corruption and immorality on the San Diego City Council has been an honest concern of theirs or just the bitter verbage of lukewarm Christians who are all talk and no action.

I would imagine that if I was rich and influential in our culture, the 2,000+ San Diego pastor would be lining up to support me. After all, when wealthy politicians like Leslie Devaney ran for the San Diego City Attorney in 2004, pastors in San Diego gave her their pulpits and their time to help her campaign. I recently found out that one of the most influential pastors in San Diego brought mayoral candidate Steve Francis before a conference of hundreds of Christian leaders to introduce him. Francis is one of the most rabid supporters of homosexuality in the Republican Party. He is also one of the richest.

While millionaire Steve Francis has been campaigning to become San Diego's next mayor, and at the same time, destroying the Republican Party's opposition to homosexuality, he is being helped by pastors in his campaign. These same pastors have never helped me with anything in my years of faithful service to God, yet they can help a pro-homosexual millionaire in his bid to become mayor of our city.

Perhaps if I supported homosexuality and had millions of dollars, this same pastor who is helping Steve Francis would help me in my campaign for the city council. Sadly, this pastor has never once offered me any help or assistance with my ministry, much less my campaign. Instead, I now see this pastor more in the light of this story told by Jesus:

Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived

each day in luxury. At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus. As Lazarus lay

there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his

open sores. Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with

Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and his soul went to the place of

the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham. "The

rich man shouted, `Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip

the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these

flames.' "But Abraham said to him, `Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being

comforted, and you are in anguish." Luke 16:19-25

My campaign volunteers and I may not have the wealth of this pastor and pro-homosexual candidates like Steve Francis and gay Republican activist Carl DeMaio, but we know we have our dignity and we are obedient to our God. We may live in one of the poorer neighborhoods in San Diego rather than the wealthy suburban safezones of pro-abortion mayoral candidate Steve Francis and homosexual activist Carl DeMaio, but we will not compromise our obedience to God or His word.

When I caused a media uproar in late 2007 by reporting on the treacherous plan of the San Diego City Council where the council was planning to issue a legal brief in support of gay marriage, all of the so-called family organizations like Concerned Women For America were down at city hall in front of the cameras clamoring for televsion time to promote their organzations and their opposition to gay marriage. Yet, during my campaign for the city council, not one of these women have helped me with my campaign. Not one has contributed to my campaign or endorsed me.

Our city is burning - burning down. Our morals are disintegrating and sexual anarchy is exploding in our city. I am fighting the good fight. Yet, less than two dozen San Diegans have even contributed to my campaign. While homosexual activists have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to my opponents, I am left with a few good people supporting me and the rest of the churches completely turning their backs on me during this grave battle.

God has spoken to me about my campaign. The Lord has said to me that my campaign is a test of where the churches in San Diego are. While Christians do alot of talking about the problems in our culture they show little action. They show even less interest when it comes to supporting Christians who run for office. While I have been going to the city council for years to stand up for God's people, only one pastor in San Diego has contributed financially to my campaign.

If Christians are not willing to suppport a faithful Christian candidate in their own community than all of their complaining about gay marriage, abortion and bad politicians is just a bunch of hot air.

I am not the first servant of the Lord to articulate the apathy of a lukewarm group of believers. And I won't be the last either. The Bible talks quite a bit about those who are negligent with the things of God. 2 Chronicles 29:11 states:

"My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him,

to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense."

The word negligent means to deceive. When we promised the Lord to serve Him, to honor Him and to help our fellow Christians as we gave our lives to Christ, that was a vow we made to God. When we become negligent in our vows to God, we are deceiving the Lord. When we say that we need to get rid of the bad politicians, but then we won't even support our Christian candidates, we are deceiving ourselves if we think that God is going to be pleased with our actions.

If we don't turn this nation around by electing Godly leaders we are going to be the generation responsible for destroying the great land that God gave His servants 400 years ago. Let us remember that the Bible clearly states that revival and the healing of the land is solely the responsibility of Christian believers. Let us remember the plan of action that God gave us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and let us be diligent to act upon it:

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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."

Terri Schiavo's Family Lobbies Canadian Hospital on Samuel Golubchuck's Behalf

Hello to our readers here is some information for you

Terri Schiavo's Family Lobbies Canadian Hospital on Samuel Golubchuck's Behalf

Winnipeg, Canada (LifeNews.com) -- The family of Terri Schiavo is coming to the aide of Samuel Golubchuck and has lobbied a hospital in Canada to not revoke his food and water or his lifesaving medical treatment. The Schindler family's help comes just as Golubchuck's family celebrated a court decision in their favor. Golubchuck's family won a victory this past week when a court issued an injunction preventing Grace General Hospital from removing Samuel Golubchuck's life support and killing him. His family has been arguing with hospital officials who claim he is to far gone to receive proper medical care. Grace Hospital will not be allowed to remove the respirator, dehydrate, or starve Golubchuck while the family presents more evidence at a trial. The family is getting help from Bobby Schindler, Terri Schiavo's brother, who says their situation is worse because they are in agreement about Golubchuck's care but are fighting hospital officials who are bent on letting him die. "We're against what the hospital is doing," Schindler told the Canadian Press. "This is alarming when you have hospitals making these decisions." Schindler said he wrote hospital officials on Samuel's behalf and, "They did respond, but it basically said they were giving the gentleman the best care they could." Full story at LifeNews.com.

Pray for Conference & Speakers

February 17, 2008 Before man harnessed electricity, those who could read, read by candlelight. When Wycliffe began printing Bibles, and the masses began to read, it was the Bible that captivated men's attention. Now it is the electronic world that has captured our time and attention. The world of television and radio, the computer, the cell phone, the internet, and the ipod. We are all wired in some way, and all distracted from the things of God. We have become too 'busy' about the wrong things. Those 'things' have now become our idols, preoccupations to satisfy our cravings and fill the voids in our lives. They have led increasingly to the sin of omission. We omit time with God in prayer, the reading of Scripture, and the search of His revelation to us of truth. We are so full of omission of God Himself and time with Him that we fail to see or comprehend the times in which we live and what God has revealed to those willing to search the Scriptures and pray. We neglect those near us, the house of God, and His purposes on the earth. We don't need Him anymore. We have plenty to do to keep us occupied and in denial as we pursue the things of this world. Dear LORD, God of the universe, perfect in your Being, and beyond our finite ability to comprehend your wisdom, power, love, and perfections. . . have mercy on us. Left to ourselves, and without your Spirit and revelation, we would be lost beyond hope; dead in dreadlocked sin, without peace of mind, broken beyond rescue, unwitting servants of the destroyer of our souls. Find a way dear LORD to reveal to us that we are destitute of meaning, full of fear and emptiness far greater than ravenous wolves. Speak to us by thy Holy Spirit, lest we drown out your voice amongst our tinsel toys. Open the eyes of our hearts to see what we are becoming with our trinkets, self absorbed fears, and worldly preoccupations. Open our eyes to see that you are intimately involved in our rising up and sitting down, and patiently waiting for us to turn back to you as little children longing for the safety and protection of a loving father and mother. Teach us again Jesus, that unless we die unto ourselves, and receive life from You, we are lost, dead in our sins, and without hope. Help us yield to You anew and afresh in this moment of reflection, to surrender all that we fearfully possess and which holds us in bondage. Set us free dear Savior. We ask these things in your Name. Amen

Pray that . . . Many, many more Christians will attend the Conference this coming Friday and Saturday at Rolling Hills Community Church Our eyes will be opened to what God wants to do in and through His people Our hearts will be moved from fear to faith, confidence and action Our Speakers will arrive safely, full of Him, and anointed with His Spirit to speak what He would have them speak Charlene Cothran Deborah Flora David Kupelian Star Parker Kamal Saleem David Gibbs Jonathan Flora Marshall Foster Dennis Marcellino David Crowe Watch the Conference Video Register for the Conference

Christian Candidate Blocked From Participating In Panel At Elementary School

The James Hartline Report

- On The Frontlines Of The Culture War -

February 14, 2008

~ Campaign 2008 Update ~

Religious Discrimination Corrupts San Diego City Council

Race For The Second Time In Four Weeks.

Gay-Friendly Community Group Blocks Christian Candidate

From Participating In Candidate Panel At Public Elementary School.

This is the second time San Diego Christian Candidate James Hartline

has not been allowed to participate with gay candidates

in District 3 City Council candidate's forum.

(JHReport) For the second time in recent weeks, complaints of religious discrimination are being alledged in the highly contested San Diego City Council race to replace lesbian City Councilwoman Toni Atkins. James Hartline, a nationally recognized Christian activist and San Diego City Council candidate vying to replace Councilwoman Atkins, has been the target of political attacks and discrimination by homosexual activists during his campaign. Last month, Hartline was denied the right to participate in a candidate forum at a gay-friendly church with other candidates who are campaigning for the District 3 City Council seat.

The religious discrimination being directed towards Hartline by members of San Diego's homosexual movement has been so pronounced that even the Gay and Lesbian Times called for an end to the discriminatory efforts that are targeting Hartline. An editorial in the Gay and Lesbian Times stated:

"Regardless of whether you agree with ex-gay religious crusader turned candidate for

District 3 City Council James Hartline, there's no disputing the fact he has a voice. Some

local political and community organizations, however, are working their hardest to make

sure you don't hear it. The Kensington-Talmadge Community Association, for example, did

not invite Hartline to attend its candidates forum. Likewise, The San Diego County

Republican Party and the San Diego Democratic Club went out of their way to prevent

Hartline from participating in candidates forums."

Four weeks after Hartline was blocked from participating in the candidate forum at Kensington Community Church, there is new and troubling evidence that gay-friendly political forces in San Diego are intensifying their attempts to keep Hartline out of venues where the other candidates in his race are participating in public forums. On Tuesday, February 19, 2008 the South Castle Neighborhood Association will be holding a candidate panel discussion at Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary School located at 4721 Myrtle Avenue in the heart of San Diego's City Heights district. While other candidates in the District 3 race have been invited, James Hartline is not being permitted to participate on the panel at the school.

"No one contacted me or invited me," states Hartline. "This is another case of gay activists who demand tolerance from Christians, but then these same gay activists are willing to corrupt our political system by blocking Christians from participating in our constitutionally-guaranteed political process," he adds.

Hartline says that he was recently contacted by one of his supporters who is a member of the South Castle Neighborhood Association, the group that is hosting the Feb. 19th candidate event. His supporter says that one of the leaders of the association who is homosexual told the organization's members that Hartline wasn't invited because "he probably wasn't interested in participating in the event." Hartline's supporter would not have known otherwise if she hadn't called him.

This Hartline supporter also states that she spoke with one of the women who was involved in organizing the candidate event at the public elementary school on February 19th. She tells Hartline that the organizer told her that instructions were given to John Hartley to invite the other candidates to participate in the panel discussion at Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary School. John Hartley, a liberal Democrat who is running against Hartline in the District 3 race, never contacted Hartline to invite him. According to Hartline's supporter, she was told that Hartley did invite the gay candidates in the city council race to attend the panel.

John Hartley is the described coordinator for an alliance called "Neighborhoods For Clean Elections." It is clear that Hartley does not extend support for clean elections when it comes to Christians like James Hartline running for public office. John Hartley has never made any effort to contact Hartline about participating in any campaign forums or discussions. "Hartley's hypocrisy in the matter of the discrimination being waged against me is a blackeye on the face of fair political practices in our city," says Hartline.

Organizers for the candidate forum on the school property have had ample time to invite Hartline. District 3 candidate Todd Gloria, a gay activist who advocates legalizing male sodomy in the military, has had the February 19th candidate's event posted on his campaign website for several weeks. At no time has anyone contacted Hartline to make sure that he was given an invitation.

While advocates for San Diego's radicalized gay movement are determined to block Hartline from appearing at various forums with the other candidates in his race, District 3 voters are not very happy with the attacks on him. "The more they discriminate against me, the more phone calls I am getting with offers to help my campaign," says Hartline.

Hartline says that he now has six volunteers who are circulating nominating petitions for his campaign. "One week ago, I only had one volunteer who was gathering signatures for my campaign. I now have six. Support is growing for my campaign despite attempts by gay special interests to stop me from enjoying the same constitutional rights that the other candidates are taking for granted."

San Diego voters would be well-served by taking a closer look at the corruption that is going on in the District 3 race. It is an important opportunity to see how the problems at city hall are first conceived and created at the grassroots level in the city council districts.

"What you have in this situation are certain leaders of community groups who are willing to deceive and to discriminate to make sure that their candidate is elected and then they have control over the people's business at city hall," says Hartline.

"Once again, hypocrisy and corruption are playing key roles in promoting a specific segment of the gay community in San Diego, California. And my job as the District 3 Councilman will be to drive out the moral rot and corruption at City Hall so that our district's communities will have fairness and integrity when the people's business is being conducted by the city council," Hartline strongly contends.

For Hartline, he is trusting in God and the good judgment of his district's voters to help him win his election. Hartline also believes that over the next three months, thousands of Christian voters in District 3 will line up to support him and his message of bringing integrity, justice and truth to San Diego's municipal government.

"This corruption will be defeated. I will fight the good fight until this religious discrimination against Christians in San Diego is fully prosecuted and these anti-christian bigots are given their eviction notices from the political system," contends a determined James Hartline.

Concerned Citizens can contact Florence Griffith-Joyner Elementary School to demand that they put a stop to the religious discrimination occuring on their school's property via James Hartline being kept out of the candidate's forum on school property.

Conference to show Ben Stein's Film "Expelled"

Ben Stein's New Film "Expelled" Portland Screening at The Conference February 14, 2008 The Truth about Intelligent Design - and the War being waged against It "There is growing support among scientists that there is evidence of intelligent design operating in nature. Yet these scientists, researchers and educators are being routinely persecuted for their scientific views. Who is behind this persecution? Why is this happening in America? How did this situation develop?" "Knowing this - should our government be engaged in official, de facto promotion of the exclusively secular, materialist worldview inherent in neo-Darwinian theory in our nation's public schools, universities and research institutions? Why?" "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" presents a point-of-view so powerful, that it literally forces a re-examination of these issues." Not a Comedy This is not a film just for students, or educators, political leaders, parents or professors but for anyone concerned about what our children are being taught and the undergirding belief system in America that is increasingly anti-God, anti-truth and anti-Christian. Come see this early pre-release film at the Restore America Conference, Friday evening, February 22nd. If you are an educator, college professor or administrator, youth pastor, or simply a parent of teen sons or daughters, bring them to what is becoming 'the' pivotal issue of the 21st century. Friday February 22nd, 9:00-11:00PM at Rolling Hills Community Church (Premier Portland Screening with Expelled Producers follow the evening session of the Conference.)

Major Culture War Summit Will Feature Historical Gathering Of Christian Leaders

Written by James Hartline Report

Sunday, 02 December 2007

The "Gathering Of Eagles" Leadership Summit Will Feature Historic Assembly of America's Top Culture War Leaders In Effort To Educate Christians About It's National Moral Crisis San Diego Christian Conservative Leader James Hartline To Join Republican Presidential Candidate Alan Keyes And An All-Star List of Christian Leaders At Major Culture War Summit In Coshocton, Ohio (JHReport) Some are billing it as one of the greatest gatherings of top American Christian Conservative leaders in recent years. Nationally recognized radio talk show host Coach Dave Daubenmire is calling it the finest event to ever come to the state of Ohio. A "Gathering of Eagles" Leadership Summit, scheduled for December 14-15, 2007, will bring together many of America's most experienced Christian Conservative leaders for the two day conference in Coshocton, Ohio. The goal of the conference: to ignite a spiritual fire that will awaken Christians throughout America. The keynote speaker for the event will be 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Alan Keyes. As the two-time Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, Alan Keyes challenged liberal Democrats Paul Sarbanes (1988) and Barbara Mikulski (1992). In the 1996 and 2000 Republican presidential campaigns, Alan Keyes eloquently elevated the national political debate as a candidate for president. With his unequivocal pro-life, pro-family message, he forced the GOP leadership to address America's moral crisis. His political views are consistently based on America's founding ideals, those in the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Dave Daubenmire, a coordinator and speaker for the Gathering of Eagles Conference, is known throughout America for his courageous stand for religious liberties. Daubenmire, a veteran 25 year high school football coach, was spurred to action when attacked and eventually sued by the ACLU in the late 1990’s for alledgedly mixing prayer with his coaching. After a two year battle for his 1st amendment rights and a determination to not back down, the ACLU relented and offered coach an out of court settlement. God honored his stand and the ACLU backed off. Coach’s courageous stand, an inspiration to Americans everywhere, demonstrated that the ACLU can be defeated. Vision America founder Rick Scarborough will be joining the conference as a featured speaker. Dr. Scarborough holds a Master of Divinity Degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Houston Baptist University, with a double major in Political Science and Speech. In 1992, Dr. Scarborough gained national recognition when he exposed the contents of a disturbing assembly program at a local high school. Under the auspices of an “AIDS Presentation,” a young lady, sponsored by the AIDS Foundation of Houston, candidly discussed every sex act imaginable expressing the opinion (presented as fact) that “safe sex” was attainable by using condoms. Dr. Scarborough recorded the assembly and then made transcripts available to his congregation the following Sunday morning. The resulting furor that erupted caught the eye of the national media. The Washington Times has referred to Dr. Scarborough as one of the "rising stars in the politically active arm of American evangelicalism." Peter LaBarbera, considered to be one of the preeminent threats to the radical homosexual lobby, will be bringing his many years of Christian Conservative leadership to the Gathering of Eagles Conference. LaBarbera, 45, is president of Americans For Truth (about Homosexuality, or AFTAH), a group dedicated to exposing the homosexual activist agenda. Founded as a part-time venture in 1996 but newly reorganized in August 2006, AFTAH seeks to apply a single-minded determination to oppose the radical homosexual agenda and to stand up for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family. America Asleep kNOw More, a Missouri-based Christian ministry, is providing a number of speakers for the two day event. Gregory Thompson, the founder of America Asleep kNOw More, has traveled throughout the United States to sound a clarion call for Americans to awaken to the moral dangers which are quickly costing them their civil and religious liberties. From 1998 - 2004, Thompson was the Superintendent of Humansville R-IV School District in Polk County, Missouri. He was President of the Ozark School Superintendents from 2000 - 2004. It was in 2004, that President Gregory Thompson sacrificed his career on behalf of Christians everywhere in America. He was officially fired on Sept. 8, 2004 for refusing to keep the Ten Commandments out of the school, the Cross off of his office wall, the Bible off of his desk, and for indicating that he would pray for U.S. military veterans, children and their families. Joining Gregory Thompson at the conference will be America Asleep kNOw President Mark Kiser. Mark Kiser serves as a pastor in Springfield, Missouri and is the father of seven children. Kiser has earned a reputation throughout Missouri for his Biblical stand against sexual immorality, illegal drug use and abortion. The pro-life movement will be well-represented at the Gathering of Eagles Summit. Rev. Flip Benham, who was the national director for Operation Rescue in 1994, will be bringing his many years of activism to the conference. Appearing on numerous local and national television and radio programs (Good Morning America, 48 Hours, Sonja Live, David Praegger Live, ABC World News Tonight, CBS News, NBC News, Hannity & Colmes, and CNN), Rev. Benham is a bold witness for the Lord Jesus Christ in the public arena. Dr. Patrick Johnston, not only works to help young women have healthy lives and healthy babies, but he and his wife, Elizabeth, practice what they preach at home. They are the parents of six, very young children. Patrick and Elizabeth Johnston reside in central Ohio with their six young home-schooled children. Dr. Johnston is a family practice physician and founder of the Association of Pro-life Physicians. He is also a candidate for Ohio's 94th District in the 2008 elections. Dr. Johnston will be a featured speaker at the Gathering of Eagles Conference. California's Christian Conservative movement will be represented at the Gathering of Eagles Summit by San Diego-based activist James Hartline. Hartline is the founder of California Christian News. Hartline caused a stir in national and local news services in July when he announced that he would be seeking a seat on the San Diego City Council. As a former homosexual, James Hartline's city council district is located in the area that is home to much of San Diego's gay community. In 2006, James Hartline's life story was featured on an international broadcast of CBN's The 700 Club. During that broadcast, James told the story of how he was infected with the AIDS virus in a San Diego gay sex club in 1997. As a result of that broadcast and a four year battle waged by James to shut the club down, the City of San Diego shuttered the club's doors for good in 2007. It marked the eighth time in the past five years that Hartline has successfully shut down a pornographic business in the city of San Diego. "I am going with an expectation that something big is going to happen in America as a result of this conference," says Hartline. "So many of the men coming to this event have given their lives for the cause of Christ and we will not be denied our goal of spiritually igniting Christians in America to awaken this nation!"

Listen to Dr. Johnston's Exciting Online Debate

Listen to Dr. Johnston's Exciting Online Debate with His Republican Opponent

Dr. Johnston's Opponent, Troy Balderson, Thinks the Ohio State Legislature Should Let Abortion Remain Legal and That the Rights of Ohio Concealed Carriers Should Be Restricted

You now have the exciting opportunity to listen online to Dr. Patrick Johnston and Troy Balderson, the 94^th Ohio District Republican candidates for State Representative, field questions from the editorial boards of the Coshocton Tribune and the Zanesville Times Recorder.

Troy Balderson has declared that that he was "100% pro-life"; but in political campaigns, too often words are used to appeal to a constituent group, not to demonstrate any sincere belief or intention. So when a candidate admits that he is pro-life, we must always ask, "What do you mean by that?" When finally forced to elaborate on his position, Troy Balderson informs us that, although he is personally "pro-life," he would not protect the preborn in Ohio if he is elected to the legislature After all, Mr. Balderson claims an abortion ban would not prevent "back alley abortions."

Mr. Balderson also claims that he will "protect and defend our second amendment rights." However, if you will listen to the debate online you will hear Mr. Balderson argue for restrictions on law-abiding gun owners in Ohio.

Apparently, Troy Balderson's campaign is worried that Dr. Johnston is going to win. They are now calling voters in the district and telling them that Dr. Johnston is "a religious extremist" and informing them of an unconstitutional arrest at a prolife event years ago, where Dr. Johnston was arrested without warning while holding a pro-life sign. Of course, the case was dismissed and Dr. Johnston was declared innocent. Clearly, Mr. Balderson must be desperate to resort to this kind of mud-slinging. Dr. Johnston is convinced that Mr. Balderson's personal attacks on a true conservative will not settle well with the voters.

Why is Troy Balderson so desperate?

- Dr. Johnston has received the coveted endorsement of Ohioans for Concealed Carry because of his unwavering commitment to our right to keep and bear arms. Click here to read their endorsement.

- Dr. Johnston has received the important endorsement of both local "Right to Life" leaders in his district as well as the director of the local Crisis Pregnancy Center and American Right to Life. Click here to read these and many other endorsements. On our campaign website, you can listen to a speech by the President of Muskingum Valley Right to Life President Mike Musselman in which he endorsed Patrick Johnston's campaign.

- Over 300 retirees, factory workers, farmers, educators, and parents have given sacrificially to Dr. Johnston's campaign, while Mr. Balderson hired a professional fundraiser to solicit large donations from executives and "big name Republicans." Dr. Johnston's strong grassroots campaign is a threat to those who want the "good ole' boy politics" of the 94^th District to continue.

This interview is a perfect example of how you have to look past the candidate's sound bites and investigate his experience and what he actually intends to do if elected. Mr. Balderson will continue the status quo. Dr. Johnston, however, brings strong conservative leadership to the Republican ballot on March 4, with a long track record of defending the preborn and fighting for lower taxes and more responsible state spending.

The Editorial Boards and Managing Editor Len LaCara did an excellent job asking difficult questions, and the candidates' answers really demonstrate to voters the differences between the two candidates. They asked questions related to several critical subjects, such as whether abortion should remain legal, whether exceptions should be made for rape victims, whether there was any problem with public education and how to best fund it, on the death penalty, and on the right to keep and bear arms in restaurants and churches. On the key points on which they disagree, it is Mr. Balderson who departs from principled conservativism and the principles of life and liberty ingrained in our nation's founding documents. Click here to here this exciting and educational online debate!

Dr. Johnston needs your help!! With thousands of dollars of advertisements necessary to counter Mr. Balderson's desperate personal attacks, please visit Dr. Johnston's campaign website, www.JohnstonForOhio.com, and donate online today!

Dr. Johnston remains dedicated to bringing the Republican Party and the state of Ohio back to the principles of life and liberty, back to the ideals ingrained within the Constitution and the Republican Party platform. He remains committed to defying the unconstitutional and immoral Roe v. Wade decision and protecting the preborn statewide in Ohio. Dr. Johnston may remain the best remedy for what's ailing the Republican Party in Ohio with their growing detachment from grassroots conservatives. His candidacy is a test on whether the voters of his district will prefer experienced leadership over "good ole' boy politics", a committed pro-life ethic over unproven, contradictory rhetoric, protecting the right to keep and bear arms versus restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, and improving the cost and the outcomes of our educational system over preserving the failing status quo.

Spiritual Warfare Training For The Last Days

~ The Great San Diego Siege Has Begun ~

Siege: to confine, secure, besiege, to be an enemy to your adversaries;

-- to form and fashion things your way in the midst of your opponents.

"When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not

destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut

them down. Are the trees of the field people, that you should besiege them?"

Deuteronomy 20:19

"However, you may cut down trees that you know are not fruit trees and

use them to build siege works until the city at war with you falls."

Deuteronomy 20:20

In the past ten years, I have met many citizens in San Diego who have come to this city, not knowing why they are really here. They have a deep and abiding yearning to know their destiny and how living in San Diego plays a role in the God-ordained purpose for their lives. I believe that this is the season when many revelations are about to be granted to God's people that they might know the tremendous significance of San Diego in the last days and their reason for being here.

There are great and horrific tragedies coming to our nation. The approaching years will be difficult ones. God has shown me that San Diego has been appointed as a holy refuge for our nation during the times of impending calamities which will shake these United States. In order for San Diego to be prepared for this troubled season ahead, the city must be purified. San Diego must be tried. San Diego must be cleansed.

There are Christians who have been sent to San Diego to help in the preparation for this city's holy assignment. These particular believers may not yet fully understand their important assignment, but they know that God has been getting them ready for something extremely important. They have been drawing close to the Lord through great trials and in the process of these trials, God has been purifying them, much like He will do to the city of San Diego.

When these Christians are ready, they will be uniting into a mighty army for God to help in the construction of this great holy city of refuge in San Diego. As one who has been granted a forerunner assignment, God has been using me to go ahead of God's people to begin laying the blueprint for this political and moral revival in San Diego. Per God's instruction, I have laid a plumb line down in this city that would clearly distinguish the God-serious Christians from the lukewarm Christians. Oh yes, it is easy see who is serious about God, and who is just plain lukewarm in their faith, when people hang out with me.

As part of our ongoing Classroom in Spiritual Warfare, we will be having a number of educational and pro-active events in the next few weeks. These events will be connected to the ongoing battle to take back the city of San Diego, allowing our city to be the ignition for a third great spiritual awakening in America. If you are serious about taking your faith to the next level, then you will certainly want to take part in these insightful and spiritually signifcant endeavors. If you are not in the San Diego area, you can contact me to set up a similar event schedule for your city.

These events are great training exercises in spiritual warfare:

All Day Prayer & Fasting - Saturday - March 8, 2008

We are asking everyone to set aside Saturday - March 8, 2008

for a day of prayer and fasting. Send me your prayer requests and I

will be taking them before the Lord. This is our season for God to

move powerfully upon our behalf. There are difficult times ahead in

our nation. Let us put God first on this day by setting aside

everything else for a time of intercession, cleansing and purification.

Journal Along The Street Of The Lost Generation

Saturday - March 15, 2008 - 10am - 12noon

And a main road will go through that once deserted land. It will be named the

Highway of Holiness. Evil-hearted people will never travel on it. It will be only for

those who walk in God's ways; fools will never walk there.

Lions will not lurk along its course, and there will be no other dangers.

Only the redeemed will follow it.

~ Isaiah 35:9-10 ~

We will be conducting an educational tour in an area where hidden witchcraft,

devil worship and idolatry is being established in a place that is polluting

the entire city of San Diego. If you want to learn a powerful lesson in the hidden

war against Christianity in a major U. S. city then you will not want to miss this

important lesson in spiritual warfare. There is a reason that I have been getting

stronger in the Lord Jesus Christ despite having lived in a major devil's stronghold

for the past eight years. We must learn the spiritual weapons of our warfare.

I will show you how on this educational tour. AND I will show you how God

desires to use us to turn this area of unholy industry into a Highway of Holiness.

For information on the location of this event you must register via an RSVP.

Will you help me take back my District in the City of San Diego?

We will be prayer walking, handing our my campaign literature and

witnessing to neighbors in San Diego's District 3. These are great opportunities to

put your Christian Faith into action!

Restore America Conference 2008

Can a Secular Government Protect Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? February 11, 2008 President Woodrow Wilson said, "A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about."

Conference Speaker - Marshall Foster In the January Issue of the Mayflower Institute Journal, Founder and President Marshall Foster states, "Each moment of our lives we make decisions that lead us to either misery or happiness, liberty or tyranny, God or His evil foe. It is not the special interest group, political party or union that shapes our future. They are just groups that carry out the choices we, each one of us, have made to follow one of two very different roads." He then quotes Teddy Roosevelt, America's 26th President who said 100 years ago, "I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism." As a Christian historian Marshall Foster will answer the question about secular government that you will not hear from our secular historians and philosophers. We are "trying to do a futile thing" when we don't understand the basis of civil government in America. Don't miss his enlightened message. Sign up for the Conference and meet Marshall in person.

February 22-23 Conference: Key to Oregon's Future

February 22-23 Conference: Key to Oregon's Future February 10, 2008 Lou Engle, co-founder of "TheCall", speaking of our propensity as Christians to compromise on issues such as abortion when selecting a candidate for public office, asked, why should we "soften our stand?" In doing so, we cease to be "the conscience of the nation." When we succumb to the headlines in Oregon's newspapers and the 50 public officials who disregard the will of the people regarding marriage and morality - and do not act - we fail to become the conscience of all Oregonians. We lose our 'savor' as the people of God, make ourselves indistinguishable from the world, and destroy our witness for Christ as LORD. Engle says, "...our thinking is humanistic and we believe in politics more than the power of prayer."

Taking Action - At The Conference Two Initiatives to repeal SB 2 and HB 2007 will be introduced Sign up as petition circulators in all counties will continue Petition instructions, distribution, and collection plans will be provided The strategy to obtain and turn in 100,000 signatures will be detailed Thousands of Voter Registration Forms will be available Pray that... 2000 Christians who will not bend the knee to 'baal' will attend the Conference Oregon's Christians will catch the vision to place both SB 2 and HB 2007 on the November ballot Oregon's Christians will choose to believe that He is 'with us' Oregon's Christians will again trust the power of God to work through His people for righteousness sake Oregon's Christians will choose to be 'salt and light' as long as it takes, to preserve marriage, morality and the image of God in Oregon Christians throughout America will not forget their heritage and ability to elect godly people to public office God will give wisdom and insight to the Restore America and Concerned Oregonians Team The Body of Christ in Oregon and around the nation not. . . 'soften our stand' nor lose our 'savor' LORD of heaven and earth, ruler of the universe, create in us believing hearts. Set our hearts ablaze with your eternal Word, and your unchanging power to honor your Name in a fallen and sin sickened world. Forgive us dear LORD for doubting you as we listen to the world's unenlightened and the doubting Thomases in our midst. Speak to each one who reads this humbled prayer. Call out to them to lift up their eyes to heaven. Open our eyes to see that is you in whom we should place our trust. You are our deliverer, not this dying world and those who despise and dishonor your Name. It is you and you alone who saves, who delivers us from our sin, who seeks to bless us, our neighbors, our communities and our nation. For it is in you LORD, that we live and move and have our being. Persuade our doubting hearts that you will be with those who seek to preserve your ways and honor You. In the Name of Jesus, LORD of lords, Amen.

Award Winning Film Couple to Speak at Restore America Conference:

Award Winning Film Couple To Speak at Restore America Conference February 8, 2008 Jonathan and Deborah Flora are an amazing couple and true culture warriors! Jim Tressel, Head Football Coach at Ohio State University says of their film, "A Distant Thunder is an intense presentation that makes one search their inner-being. A thought provoking piece that is sure to make an impact with its creativity, stellar performers, and intellectual challenges." Dale Dye USMC (Ret) - Actor/Director/Military film consultant for Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, and Band Of Brothers, says of their film, "This is an absorbing and relevant drama. It's one of those rare shockers that leaves you wondering where you really stand on an important social issue." The film to which they are referring is about partial birth abortion, and their comments demonstrate the importance of Christian film making. I was fortunate to meet and speak with Jonathan and Deborah at the Washington D.C. Values Voter Summit in October of 2007 and after hearing them share their vision for Christian films, with over 1500 people, I knew they had to speak at our Conference. Don't miss this opportunity to catch their vision! See their Bio's Register for the Conference

February 22-23 Conference Introduces Two Initiatives

More Important Than Ever February 6, 2008 The ruling by Federal Court Judge Michael Mosman to disallow counting unnecessarily rejected petition signatures, is not being received well by the vast majority of Oregonians who VOTED in 2004 to preserve traditional marriage. Here's why: When a substantial majority of the Voters vote in favor of a Measure placed on the ballot by the people, they do not like to see their will circumvented and voided, especially by small but well organized special interest groups, and in particular, by elected officials who abuse the structures of government to impose their will instead. They are particularly troubled when the issues are serious and profound moral and ethical issues. When it happens repeatedly on a broad array of issues, it poses a serious threat to our rights as citizens to ensure government is of, by, and for the people.

Restoring Oregon civil government to the people No greater opportunity to restore citizen voting rights in Oregon exists than the "Know the Truth. . .

Judge Tosses Signatures Seeking to Stop Oregon Domestic Partnerships

Family News in Focus

'This decision should send shockwaves not just through Oregon, but every single state.'

A petition drive to reverse Oregon’s domestic-partnership law failed last week when a federal judge ruled it fell just short of the number of signatures needed, but no one seems to be able to explain why some signatures were rejected. The law went into effect Monday.

“I feel like I don’t matter, like my rights have been discounted," said Phillip Lemons, who was told his signature had been removed from the petition.

“The county clerk told me she didn’t have the power to accept my signature, even though I identified myself as, yes, this is really me; I really did sign this.”

Dozens of voters told the same story.

Austin Nimocks, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, said it doesn't make sense.

“Even when they went down and looked the county clerk in the face and said, ‘This is my signature,’ (and) provided a driver’s license to confirm that it was a valid, genuine signature on that petition, nobody would listen to them," he said.

What's more astounding, Nimocks said, is that Judge Michael Mosman essentially said there is no guarantee that signatures will be counted.

“This decision should send shockwaves not just through Oregon, but every single state that has an initiative and referendum process," he said, "because it’s a process that exists in half of our country’s states.”

San Diego Pastors Trade In Bibles For Apathy & Silence

In Wealthy Church District Where Gay Candidate

Is Seeking A Seat On The San Diego City Council

Silence By District 5 Church Pastors Is Empowering

The Campaign of Homosexual Republican Carl DeMaio

In San Diego's 5th District City Council Race

(JHReport Update) The majority of evangelical churches in San Diego, California have an official theological position that calls the act of homosexuality a sin. However, in this 2008 campaign season there is not one pastor in San Diego who is speaking out against the candidacy of local homosexual Republican activist Carl DeMaio. DeMaio, who revealed his personal involvement in homosexualiity in an April, 2007 edition of San Diego Magazine, is the endorsed Republican candidate for the 5th District of the San Diego City Council.

During the April, 2007 San Diego Magazine interview, DeMaio degraded the opinion of Christian Conservatives by stating that voters were not concerned with the issue of homosexuality. DeMaio's comments were made right before hundreds of outraged San Diego voters turned out at the San Diego City Council to oppose a pro-gay marriage legal brief that was being issued in the name of all San Diego voters by the city council.

When revealing that he was homosexual, DeMaio stated of his homosexuality: "But at the end of the day, I don't think it's very relevant when you consider all the things that are really important to voters." Shortly after DeMaio decided that the public needed to know about his homosexuality, transvestite activist Nicole Murray Ramirez placed a photograph of DeMaio with two other prominent San Diego homosexual activists in his column in the Gay and Lesbian Times.

Despite the fact that DeMaio disparaged the city's Christian voters in the San Diego Magazine interview, pastors in San Diego's 5th City Council District have remained astonishingly silent on the possibility that DeMaio will be representing their church families on the city council. For all general purposes, pastors in San Diego's 5th City Council District have spiritually neutered themselves on the matter of opposing DeMaio.

San Diego's 5th City Council District includes the communities of Mira Mesa, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, Sorrento Mesa, and San Pasquel Valley. Some of San Diego's wealthiest and most influential churches are located in these communities. Yet, on the matter of confronting the Republican Party's promotion of a homosexual activist who will be representing the important city council seat where these large and influencial churches are located, pastors have become verbally castrated, trading their Bibles in for complete apathy and silence. In one of the great moral catastrophies in San Diego history, these pastors have exchanged their pastoral obligation to be courageous for the embarrassment of cowardice.

Maranatha Chapel is perhaps San Diego County's largest and most prosperous church with 7,000 members. Located in the community of Rancho Bernardo, Maranatha Chapel is located in the heart of San Diego's 5th City Council District. The idea that Pastor Ray Bentley is not confronting the potential that his church will be represented by a homosexual activist on the city council, is a demonstration of just how disconnected from the political process these wealthier churches in San Diego have become.

Horizon Christian Fellowshp - North County, an extremely large and wealthy Rancho Santa Fe-based church, has enormous influence on the business community in San Diego. The church's pastor, Bob Botsford, has been completely silent on the matter of Carl DeMaio being elected to the San Diego City Council. Recent events surrounding Horizon Christian Fellowship may give some hint as to why the pulpit of its extremely wealthy sister church, Horizon Christian Fellowship - North County, is silent on the DeMaio campaign. In recent years, a number of wealthy members of Horizon Christian Fellowship have supported pro-abortion and homosexual candidates for public office.

Horizon Christian Fellowship Pastor Mike MacIntosh has refused to publicly rebuke his wealthy members for their political compromise. One Horizon Christian Fellowship member, Larry Stirling, endorsed homosexual Republican Ralph Denney for the California State Assembly in 2006. In 2004, Stirling endorsed rabid pro-abortion Republican Tricia Hunter for the 76th District of the California State Assembly. Stirling has continued his sell-out of San Diego Christians in 2008. Both Larry Stirling and his wife Linda have both endorsed Carl DeMaio for the city council and both have given the maximum amount of financial contributions to DeMaio's campaign.

Linda Stirling supports homosexual activist Carl DeMaio at the same time that she promotes herself to the Christian community as a corporate member of a local Christian women's business group. Linda Stirling's immoral flip-flopping places her in the top echolons of hypocrisy. She is currently involved with the Professional Women's Fellowship. The website states this about Stirling: she is a "founding board member of Ken Blanchard's Lead Like Jesus Foundation, as well as a member of the Finance Committee for the San Diego Billy Graham Mission. Linda is also a founder and current corporate member of PWF."

Horizon Christian Fellowship - North County is awash in wealthy members. The church is located in the community of Ranch Santa Fe which is listed as the highest income community in the United States with at least 2,500 households at $196,298. Forbes reported Rancho Santa Fe as having the third most expensive zip code in the United States, and most expensive in California, with a median home sale price of $2,585,000. In recent years, the area was represented by Congressman Duke Cunningham, who is now in prison for taking bribes.

Two years ago, James Hartline, a well-known Christian activist, was driving with a friend in the area around Horizon Christian Fellowship - North County. Driving past the church, Hartline could not believe what his eyes were seeing. In the church facility parking lot was a limousine, a Rolls Royce, Jaguars, numerous Mercedes Benz vehicles, BMW's, and a multitude of expensive Cadillacs. Hartline, who ministers in one of San Diego's poorer neighborhoods, felt a sense of nausea at the magnitute of seeing so much hoarded wealth on a church property while many Black and Hispanic churches in San Diego are so poor they can barely keep their doors open.

There is no vocal opposition against Carl DeMaio coming from any Horizon Christian Fellowship Church. "We are all going to suffer because these San Diego pastors will not show any backbone or moral courage during this political crisis," declares James Hartline. "Opposition to the homosexual political movement has been replaced with the promotion of golf and tennis tournaments by many of these wealthy church pastors," Hartline states.

San Diego pastors cannot say that they do not have any options regarding the District 5 City Council race. DeMaio has a strong pro-family opponent in the District 5 race by the name of Bob Ilko. Bob Ilko, a former police officer who nows earns his living as an attorney, is a member of a local synagogue. The James Hartline Report has spoken with Ilko on a number of occasions. Although JHReport has asked Ilko to fill out a family-values questionnaire, Ilko has been hesitant to fill out a Christian voter guide because he is Jewish.

Even without reading his answers on a questionnaire, it is fairly easy to conclude that Bob Ilko is a strong supporter of families in San Diego's 5th District. Having received numerous awards from local community groups, Bob Ilko has a sixteen-year history of volunteering to help San Diego families during difficulties like the 2003 Cedar Fire. Carl DeMaio, on the other hand, just recently moved into District 5, having almost no ties to the district. Despite his capretbagger status and involvement in homosexuality, the county GOP is backing DeMaio over Bob Ilko.

Long before he declared himself a candidate for the San Diego City Council, Bob Ilko was working to gain justice for the District 5 community he has lived in for many years. In a 2003 newsletter that contained information on the devastating Cedar Fire, Bob Ilko wrote a compassionate and inspiring article on what he personally experienced during the catastrophe. He concluded his article with this statement:

"As I sit at my office desk this early Monday morning, I wait for the sun to rise to see

what can be done for those who lost and to pray that more do not have to bear the

same suffering. I hope that those who lost will have the strength to find their way

back home."

Sincerely, Bob Ilko, Scripps Ranch Planning Group

Two months ago, James Hartline contacted Community Bible Church, one of the largest churches in District 5. Hartline spoke briefly with Pastor Barry Minkow, informing him of the potential of having a gay Republican representing his church's district on the city council. Additionally, Hartline sent emails to all staffmembers of Minkow's church regarding DeMaio. Hartline says that there was absolute apathy among the church's leadership and staff regarding the District 5 race.

The very people who have the responsiblity for making sure that Christians maintain the moral compass in San Diego, California are the city's 2,000 pastors. Out of those 2,000 pastors, not one has spoken out against the Republican Party's promotion of the candidacy of homosexual activist Carl DeMaio.

When the cameras were rolling late last year as the San Diego City Council was voting on the gay marriage legal brief, there were the traditional "family" values groups and pastors crying out against the injustice of gay marriage. However, when the cameras disappeared and Carl DeMaio began to express his homosexuality right before he began his official city council campaign, San Diego pastors nervously shuffled their feet and made reservations for their next paid vactions. Perhaps, while they are in Hawaii, Europe or anywhere else where they are putting their feet up and enjoying their vacations, someone else with some God-given courage will step up into a San Diego pulpit and declare war on the moral abyss being created in San Diego by the apathetic spirit of Christian leaders in San Diego's 5th City Council District.

February 5, 2008 For Immediate Release Lake Oswego, Oregon - Today is 'Super Tuesday' in many states around the country, including Oregon - especially for one Federal Judge, one Governor, one Secretary of State, 35 state of Oregon legislators, and 12 County Clerks! Thats all it took to overturn the votes of over a million Oregonians in just 4 short years. How Oregonians Voted on Marriage in 2004 The February 22-23 Restore America Conference Why Oregon VOTERS are Cynical about Oregon Politicians and Civil Government In November of 2004, 1,028,546 (thats one million, twenty eight thousand, five hundred and forty six) Oregonians VOTED to place an Amendment in the Oregon Constitution stating that marriage is between a man and a woman only! Strike that! As of yesterday, that Amendment means nothing, and neither do the VOTES of not only the million plus Oregonians who voted then, but also the nearly 63,000 who signed petitions last Summer and Fall protesting the legislature's end run on the VOTERS of Oregon, and the now meaningless Constitution of our once respected state! So much for your VOTES Oregonians! "I'll fix it" Ted and his gang sure did! Want to write a book? You could title it, "How to Unceremoniously Circumvent the Will of the People" by 50 Oregonians who believe they know better and wish to have it their way." Or, you could sub title it to read, "Oregon's Oligarchy: Tyranny by the few, with a thumb in the eye to the million" By Teddy and the 'Gotcha Gang'! Teddy and the 'Gotcha Gang' Message to Oregon's Youth Hey kids! Lets just run down to the county clerks office and get hitched! The benes (provided by the taxpayers of Oregon) are great! And its easy too! We can all get it done in a day, you know, herd em up, roll em out! Raw hide! Yaaaaaahh! Thanks Ted, and of course, your marriage 'wrecking crew' too! What's marriage anyway! And oh yeah! Forget this voting stuff! We can get arround it! "Earth to Teddy" We won round one in 2004 and round two in the 2005 legislative session. You won round three, four, and now. . . five, but guess what? You and the 'gotcha gang' will wake up the day after the November General Election to a knock out punch by Oregon's VOTERS! Remember? The Oregon VOTER? That uninformed, non elitist million plus you and your gang of 49 don't believe are as enlightened as you and your friends? He still has the final say.

Standing Firm, Staying Strong, in Defense of Our Right To Vote on Marriage & Moral Issues

Hoping To Nullify Even The Prospect of Our Vote February 3, 2008 Friday, February 1st, after five hours of examination, cross examination, and the clear exposure of the State Election Division's signature verification process as flawed, to the surprise, even shock of those in the Courtroom - including the State's attorneys - Judge Michael Mosman, through a series of convoluted reasoning, denied the permanent injunction on HB 2007 becoming law in Oregon. Using other court decisions to support his ruling, which cases he earlier stated he did not find 'controlling,' he ignored the fact that the State of Oregon's 'expert witness' was certainly no expert in signature verification, and did not know what she was doing. Judge Mosman himself said, "There are, I hope, many things heard today that should be troubling to the secretary of state about the signature verification process. . . but if there's anything that should trouble the secretary of state here, it's the difficulty the State has had in actually articulating the standard to be applied to these differing judgments in different counties. I attribute some of that to the obvious confusion by Ms. Carlson in terms of what she was really being asked here." And although he admitted what was obvious to everyone in the court room, he later said, "It's my view -- I would say barely so -- that the State has come forward with sufficient evidence to defeat the request for a permanent injunction. . . That is, there is a standard out there. The general standard being applied quite obviously I think is whether the signatures match or don't match. That's the standard." What was obvious is that the State in fact, did not persuade the rest of us that this 'standard' and the training presented by Ms Carlson, was anything but superficial, convenient, and inadequate for the purpose of verifying signatures on petitions. Further, Judge Mosman refused to take into consideration what was clear to all through the ADF attorneys: The Elections Division and County Clerks refused to obey the 30 day window they had themselves requested of the legislature several years ago, in either contacting or allowing the rejected signers to validate their signatures. Although Judge Mosman admitted that, 'Notice and opportunity to be heard' is always the case in due process, he proceeded to state that 'procedural due process' did not apply in this case because he had already ruled it out! Instead, he focused his decision on whether the state had promised, granted, or given a right or entitlement to the voters with regard to honoring their signatures, which he concluded they had not, and therefore had no obligation to even count their signatures at all! While there is much more to say about this ruling, suffice it to say at this point that it was clear to me and others in the court room that the law was used inappropriately to avoid considering whether the rejected signatures were valid or not, and thereby avoid a permanent injunction that would allow the people of Oregon to vote on HB 2007 in November. This ruling will be appealed by the Alliance Defense Fund.

Pray. . . For the Restore America Conference, now more important than ever That Oregonians, including Christians, see through the obfuscation of the law to void valid signatures, justify the Oregon Elections Division and thus deny the right of all Oregonians to VOTE on crucial moral and social issues That the Christian Community by not dismayed or discouraged but recognize that He Who has been with us from the beginning, is not dismayed or put off That we will be more determined than ever to reclaim our right to VOTE on these issues, and not allow ourselves to think that one human judge can overrule the eternal Judge, and the will of the people That we believers will continue to walk in faith that He Who lives within us is greater than he who is in the world That in faith, we will all step forward together to place both these bills on the ballot in December For those who walk in deception, suppress the truth, and as a result, are opposed to traditional marriage, the family, and morality as what is best for all Americans For grace and mercy upon us all, awakening and revival As we work together, and now that far more Oregonians are aware of these two bills and what the legislature and Elections Division have done, it is only a matter of organizing from where we left off in October to the successful attainment of our goal: Sufficient petition signatures to surpass the Elections Division process and place the bills on the November ballot. Stay focused, committed, involved, in His Word, and in prayer. You willl hear more soon. Thank you for your ongoing and strengthening prayers, and God bless you all as you serve Him.

Press Release: Today's Court Hearing on Restoring Voter Rights in Oregon

Restoring Voter Rights in Oregon February 1, 2008 For Immediate Release Lake Oswego, Oregon - Today marks a significant step in restoring civil government to the people of Oregon. The Alliance Defense Fund Case in the Multnomah County Federal Court is not about bigotry, hatred, the definition of marriage and family, or discrimination, as many seek to paint it. It is about a fundamental, bedrock American right, a right held sacrosanct by all Americans: The right to VOTE. And in protecting that right, we protect the very essence of a free people: government of, by, and for the people. It is what our Forefathers fought for. It was fundamental to what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for in removing the poll tax on blacks who wanted to vote. Having our votes counted was what the 'hanging chads' battle was all about in Florida in the 2000 Presidential Election, and it is what we are contending for now: The right to have our votes counted on a far more important issue than a presidential election. The cultural, moral and social policy issues raised by the two bills in question, have far reaching cultural and moral ramifications for America. The people have a right to vote on such issues. It should not be left to a partisan legislature pandering to a small, organized, and vociferous special interest group who have political power, and an agenda. The issue before the Court today is truly about respecting the fundamental rights of Oregonians to VOTE on issues that will affect what our schools teach our children about love, sex, and marriage; the way we view the relationships between men and women; what marriage is and is not, and the family itself. It has taken decades to awaken the American people to the devastating effects of taking the life of the innocent unborn, a decision made by a handful of misguided judges without our having a say. America's citizens can't afford to stand idly by while another monumental mistake is made in moral and social policy by a small group of elected officials who chose to ignore and circumvent the will of the people as manifestly expressed in 2004 through Measure 36. The effect on marriage, the family, morality, education, and the very stability of the nation, makes it paramount that this time, the people 'weigh in' on these radically culture changing bills. The cavalier attitude demonstrated by this Governor, the Secretary of State, partisan legislators who refused to consider the protests of the people, and those who wish to impose a new, sociologically unsubstantiated view of marriage, and morality - apart from our voices through the ballot box - is not, and should not be, acceptable. To that end, and out of deference to the nearly 63,000 Oregonians and hundreds of volunteer circulators who came forward with little notice to circulate and sign petitions 303 and 304 - and those in 2004 who made their will clear about marriage - our only option - depending on Judge Mosman's decision and the response of Basic Rights Oregon - may again be the Initiative Process. As in 2004, when more than 200,000 Oregonians signed the petition that led to a Constitutional Amendment saying marriage was between a man and a woman only - in only five weeks - it can, and should be done, again. Oregonians want to vote on both SB 2 and HB 2007 in November, and they have the right to do so. We trust, and we pray, that Judge Mosman restores that right, today.
