Petition: http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacAM_petition.aspx?pid=0219&npla=EH17

Abolishing the murder of babies within the womb by Congressional law will actually be faster and more effective than waiting on the court. Right now there are five justices on the court who support the murder of babies within the womb. The four radical Leftist justices appointed by Democrat Presidents and Justice Kennedy. Therefore, to even have a chance of the court reversing, we need two more Constitutional Justices and the second one has to replace one of the five pro-murdering babies within the womb justices. Even then, it would take a couple of years, at least, to get the case through the court system.

Passing a law of Congress is the best way of ending the terror of our American holocaust. The best way to abolish the murder of babies within the womb. The best way to stop any State from passing a law allowing the murder of babies within the womb. And it is also best constitutionally.

Life for all persons within the United States including babies within the womb is guaranteed and protected by the Declaration of Independence, Amendment V of the United States Constitution, and Amendment XIV of the United States Constitution. No court, no government body, no individual can constitutionally sanction the murder of babies within the womb. All such decisions, laws, and regulations are patently unconstitutional and illegal and should be immediately abolished by Congress by law!

Statistically, everyday of delay over 2,700 babies are murdered in the womb through abortion using 1 million abortions a year as a baseline. It is past time to attack the evil of murdering babies within the womb on every front with every legal weapon we can use until the murder of babies within the womb is abolished completely throughout the United States and its territories. Murder of babies within the womb is a horrendous evil that needs to and must be terminated.

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative



Isaiah 1: 1-31 (NIV)

The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem [Applicable to the United States today, in my opinion. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. HE is righteous, just, and true yesterday, today, and tomorrow!] that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me [The United States has and is rebelling against GOD!]. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel [the United States] does not know, my people [the United States] do not understand.’

Woe to the sinful nation [the United States], a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him.

Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.

Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!], we would have been like Gomorrah [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!].

[Read Genesis 18 and 19 for the Biblical account. Genesis 19: 23-29 (NIV)]

“By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he [GOD] overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities [A righteous act by a righteous GOD WHO destroyed evil people who refused to repent from their evil. And yes, I believe the account and so did JESUS the SON of GOD. HE referenced Sodom and/or Gomorrah several times. Matthew 10: 15 (NIV) “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”]—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he [GOD] brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”

This is also why homosexual radicals attack Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior. Christians who know the Bible know that homosexual behavior is sin punishable by spiritual death. There is NO rightto homosexual behavior and people are NOT born homosexual. Homosexual behavior is learned behavior. Therefore, people do not have to be involved in the behavior and people can repent and STOP being involved in the behavior!]

Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [the United States]; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah [the United States]! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you [the present or the future for the United States?]; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening [the present or the future for the United States?].

Your hands are full of blood [the present for the United States as we as a nation MURDER over a million babies a year through government sanctioned abortions!]!

Wash and make yourselves clean [Will we?]. Take your evil deeds out of my sight [Will we?]; stop doing wrong [Will we?]. Learn to do right [Will we?]; seek justice [Will we?]. Defend the oppressed [Will we? Who are more oppressed than murdered babies?]. Take up the cause of the fatherless [Will we? GODS family structure not mans]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GODS family structure not mans].’

‘Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient [Stop rebelling], you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.

Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: ‘Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.’

Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. ‘You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.’”

“Ted Cruz Outsmarts Trump: Introduces EL CHAPO Act to Make Mexican Drug Lord Pay for Wall
April 26, 2017

Senator Ted Cruz (Republican, Texas) introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order [Clever.] (EL CHAPO) Act on Tuesday, intending to cover the cost of the southern border wall by seizing more than $14 billion in drug proceeds from infamous Mexican drug lord Joaquin El ChapoGuzman [and other Mexican drug lords].

According to Cruz’s press release, the bill would use all funds forfeited to the federal government during the prosecutions of El Chapo and other Mexican drug lords to fund the construction of the border wall. The funds could additionally be appropriated for other border security needs [after the wall is paid for]. The government is currently seeking over $14 billion from El Chapo in drug proceeds and other illicit profits.

Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,’ Cruz wrote in the release [My first priority, in regard to the border, is to secure the border. How it is secured should be based upon the best method in that particular section of the border. If by a wall, fine. If by other means, also fine. I dont think anyone plans on a wall stretching from Californias west coast to the east coast of Texas. As a reminder, both Republicans and Democrats voted for the original fence.” Much of which has been built.].

‘Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities [As it should be for every Congressman and for all of the citizens both along the southern border and throughout the United States. Even the Left should be for this since many of the illegal aliens, who are dangerous, move to large American cities after illegally crossing the border. Does the Left not understand this or do they just not care? The Obama Administration allowed thousands of dangerous illegal aliens to cross the border unhindered. The Obama Administration allowed the United States to be invaded. It helped to insure the election of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.].’

Cruz also noted that the bill would lessen the impact on the federal budget while still fulfilling President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to increase border security.

‘‘We must also be mindful of the impact on the federal budget,’ Cruz wrote.

‘By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and his ilk, we can offset the wall’s cost and make meaningful progress toward achieving President Trump’s stated border security objectives.’’

According to a Department of Homeland Security internal report, the wall would take over three years to build and would cost about $21.6 billion. The president had previously suggested that the wall would cost around $12 billion, while House Speaker Paul Ryan (Republican, Wisconsin) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican, Kentucky.) intimated it would cost around $15 billion [The way the federal government does federal contracts which is terribly cost inefficient and needs to be changed, the cost is probably in the $21 billion range, if not more.].

Cruz’s bill comes in the wake of a week in which uncertainty marred the future of the border wall. There were mixed messages from the Trump administration as to whether or not funding would appear in the FY [Fiscal Year which ends on September 30th] 2017 federal budget. On Tuesday, Trump insisted that the wall would be built ‘soon [In federal government speak, soon could be three elections down the road.].’ However, budget negotiations as of late Tuesday afternoon did not appear to include funding for the wall.

Guzmán was extradited to the United States in January, and is currently being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. On January 20 [The last day of the Obama Administration], the Department of Justice announced that it was charging the drug lord with ‘leading a continuing criminal enterprise’ and other drug-related charges. If convicted, he will face a mandatory life sentence.

On his website, Cruz issued a call to ‘build the wall and make El Chapo pay for it [Great idea.].’

View the full act here [Do you think it is a thousand pages long?].”

https://www.cruz.senate.gov/files/documents/Bills/20170425_EL%20CHAPO%20Act.pdf

This is the type of innovative thinking that made Senator Ted Cruz the best choice for President of the United States. I dont agree with all his positions on the issues. However, I had no doubt that Senator Cruz was the best choice for President in 2016 and that position has not changed.

Certainly a Trump Administration is much better than another Clinton Administration. However, Donald Trump is not a conservative Republican. Hes not a Republican. And he is not conservative. Im looking forward to a Ted Cruz Administration either eight years from now or four. Donald Trump needs to succeed in achieving such things as ending the murder of babies within the womb, defunding completely Planned Murderhood and other pro-murder of babies within the womb organizations, and other needed conservative initiatives within his first term or he needs to be replaced with a true, proven conservative. That conservative is Senator Ted Cruz.

“Durbin: Trump Will Be Shutting Down Government If He Insists on ‘Outlandish’ Border Wall
Susan Jones | April 24, 2017

(CNSNews.com) - Because of the broken congressional appropriations process [The process is not broken. The process is not followed. The last six years of the Obama Administration, the Left did not want a budget. They wanted to force a budget showdownbecause they knew the Republicans would capitulate each time. And the Republicans did even when they had a Congressional majority the last two years. If the process works for them and establishment Republicans, why change? Different year, same process, probably the same capitulation results.], it has become a familiar story in Washington: Whose fault is it if Republicans and Democrats can’t agree on emergency legislation to keep the government funded, in this case, beyond Friday [It is always the fault of the Republicans and the establishment Republicans use that excuse to capitulate. “We dont want to be blamed for shutting down the government.” The one time it did happen, the Republicans were blamed. Yet, at the next election, the Republicans gained control of the Senate. The establishment Republicans still continued to use the same old excuse. “We dont want to be blamed for shutting down the government.”]?

Senator Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat [Who, when first elected, claimed to be a pro-life Democrat.], told CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ on Sunday that President Trump should not expect Congress [Translation inLeftist Speakthat the President should not expect the Left to give him money to fund a border wall which was first funded by Congress in 2006 by a bipartition vote with 26 Leftist Senators voting for it, according to Mark Levin. Then, it was a border fence instead of a wall and a good portion of it was actually built.] to give him any money to fund his ‘outlandish’ border wall [It was not outlandish when first supported by both establishment Republicans and the Left.].

Trump has requested $1.4 billion to get the wall started in the current fiscal year, which runs through September, but Durbin on Sunday called it a political stunt and a poison pill [Anything and everything that the Left disagrees with is apoison pillwhether it be the wall, or defunding Planned Murderhood, or defunding Obamacare, or defunding the Public Broadcasting System.]:

‘I hope the president will back off,’ Durbin said.

‘To think that he would consider shutting down the government of the United States of America over this outlandish proposal of a border wall [The President doesnt shut down the government and Senator Durbin knows it. MoreLeftist Speak”.], which we can’t even pay for at this point [The Left is NOW concerned with spending money we dont have? Seriously? ], and is opposed by Democrats and Republicans all along the border [Really? I know of people along both the Arizona border and the Texas border who are desperate to have illegal alien smuggling, drug smuggling, and the invasion of terrorists across our border stopped by any legal means possible.], that would be the height of irresponsibility [The Left concerned about irresponsibility when it comes to spending? What a laugh.]. He would not want that to define his first 100 days [The Left is concerned with how Donald Trumps Presidency is perceived? What nonsense.].’

Trump, in two tweets on Sunday, said:

‘The Democrats don’t want money from budget going to border wall despite the fact that it will stop drugs and very bad MS 13 gang members.’
‘Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall.’

Durbin said Democrats are ‘ready to work and cooperate with Republicans [As long as the Left gets its way as it has for the last eight years.]’ to keep the government open, but:

‘But we told the president and the Republicans weeks ago, don’t try any political stunts [Like the Left always does. A political stunt being defined as anything they do not like as far as the budget is concerned.], don’t put any poison pills [Anything they do not like as far as the budget is concerned.] into this process. Let’s just do our responsible [The Left talking about responsibility? Do they even understand the meaning of the word?], important work of funding [Spending money we dont have to fund projects that we dont need constitutionally and are often harmful or unproductive.] this government.

‘We know what this wall is all about. This was a promise made by the president during his campaign, and don’t you remember, he said the Mexicans were going to pay for it. Now we know it’s going to cost $20- to $70-billion for this wall [According to whom? If it was 20 to 70 billion dollars of spending that the Left wanted, it would be no problem. It would be referenced as a minuscule part of government spending. It might even be classified as an investment in the future of the United States.”].’

Durbin said Democrats and Republicans representing border areas oppose the idea [Does he have any proof? Think of how such spending wouldhelp the economiesof such border areas. Isnt that one of the arguments for ever increasing government spending? To help grow the economy. It is a false argument but an argument used none the less by both the Left and establishment Republicans. By the way, border security is actually one of the constitutional responsibilities of the federal government. “Growing the economyis not a constitutional responsibility.]. ‘It’s a political stunt [Leftist speak.], an obsession for the president that should not shut down our government [Leftist speak.].’

Earlier in the show, Dana Bash pointed to a Wall Street Journal article noting that no member of Congress representing the U.S. border supports President Trump’s request for $1.4 billion to start construction of the border wall this year [Does that make it true? How many of those Congressmen are Leftists?].

Also appearing on CNN, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly blamed ‘politics.’ He said many of these immigration issues ‘would go away’ if those same lawmakers ‘would take a really long, hard look at immigration, immigration laws [How about enforcing the laws we have? Enforcement was almost non-existent during the Obama Administration.], and do what is necessary to solve the problems [Which are what?].’”

“Shut Down the Democrats

From: Senate Conservatives Fund
April 25, 2017

Fellow Conservative:

Republican leaders will have an opportunity this week to cut liberal spending and advance conservative priorities [Will it actually happen? Very unlikely in my opinion based upon past experience.]. For years, these leaders said they needed control of the White House to win spending fights with the Democrats [Before that, after regaining control of the House, they insisted they also needed to regain control of the Senate. We gave them control in 2014 and they still capitulated claiming they also needed the Presidency.], and now they have it.

The time for excuses is over.

Congress will consider legislation this week to extend government funding beyond April 28th, and Republicans should use this bill to advance conservative reforms and protect American taxpayers [Could, should. Will they?].

Republicans should include the $1.4 billion President Trump requested for the border wall. This was a major campaign promise and it’s central to controlling our borders.

Republicans should also defund Planned Parenthood, sanctuary cities, refugee resettlement, the Iran nuclear deal, and Obamacare [All of which are considered to be poison pills to the Left.]—all things they say they oppose but refused to defund while President Obama was in office.

Democrats have threatened to block government funding and cause a shutdown if they don’t get their way in this debate, but Republicans should not surrender the power of the purse [They should not. Will they?].

Punting on these priorities will break promises made to taxpayers and embolden the Democrats to block them in the future. Now is the time for Republicans to draw a line in the sand [Good luck with establishment Republican doing that.].

Americans did not elect Republicans to the House, Senate, and White House so Democrats could continue to control government funding [Theoretically.]. If Democrats cause a shutdown to block these reforms, that’s a debate Republicans should welcome and do everything they can to win [And will win if they do not capitulate once again.].

Now is not the time to surrender.

What do you think? Please answer our grassroots budget survey and see the instant results.

[ 1) Should Republicans fight for conservative budget priorities even if the Democrats oppose them and cause a government shutdown?

Yes

Comments:

At best it will only be a partial shutdown. Conservatives should be working to eliminate the eight federal Departments that are unconstitutional starting with the Department of Education. They should also defund Planned Murderhood, the UN, PBS, and NPR among other programs in any Continuing Resolution. The Republicans control Congress and the Presidency. If a Continuing Resolution is not passed, how is it the fault of the Republican Party?

2) Please rate how important the following budget reforms are to you with 1 being the least important and 5 being the most important.

Begin funding the border wall: my answer: 4 [The President can divert money from other programs. President Obama did it all the time.]
Defund Planned Parenthood: my answer: 5 [It is my FIRST priority when it comes to defunding efforts.]
Defund sanctuary cities: my answer: 5
Defund Iran nuclear deal: my answer: 5 [The President should withdrawal from the deal completely. It is not a treaty.]
Defund refugee resettlement: my answer: 5
Defund Obamacare: my answer: 5 [Should be repealed lock, stock, and barrel]

Will the Republicans stand firm and united or will they capitulate once again even though they control both Congress and the Presidency? That is the question. We will learn the answer soon enough.
