Petition: Support North Dakotas suit against the dangerous transgender mandate

Support North Dakotas suit against the dangerous transgender mandate
By CitizenGO USA · 11/11/2016

Respect practitioners freedom of conscious

Dear Department of Health and Human Services and the Office for Civil Rights,

I am writing to express my disappointment in your department’s final rule on ‘Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities.’ This rule disregards the freedom of medical practitioners to refuse to perform treatments that they believe will seriously and permanently harm their patients. Your mandate forces medical practitioners to violate the Hippocratic Oath [And is morally obscene!].

The State of North Dakota and several other institutions in North Dakota recently filed suit against you for this dangerous mandate. I am writing in support of their suit. I ask you to immediately revoke this mandate to protect the freedom of medical practitioners.

The Department of Health and Human Services previously declared that Medicare and Medicaid need not pay for gender transition treatments since ‘there is not enough evidence to determine whether gender reassignment surgery improves health outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with gender dysphoria [It does not! It mutilates the body of a person for no possible reason. Mutilating the body of a person does not change the sex of an individual!]’ Especially given this lack of evidence, the freedom of medical practitioners should be respected.

Sincerely,

Don L. Vance”

“Petition: STOP THE U.N. ENFORCER OF THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA

“Recommendation on HRC report, Res. 32/2

With regards to the report of the Human Rights Council (#A/71/53)

[ http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/71/53 ], resolution 32/2

‘Protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,’ I recommend the following:

1) The General Assembly must suppress the office ofindependent expert on violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.’ Anything short of this amounts to allowing the United Nations to launch a global campaign to destroy the family and the health and morals of our children.

2) Abstaining from an inevitable vote to suppress the mandate is not an option and amounts to a betrayal of the family and our children. We will not stand idly by while marriage, the family, and our children are attacked.

3) We will not be intimidated by threats to withdraw development assistance. Development assistance will not save the family and our children if it comes at the cost of sacrificing their heath and morals.

Sincerely,

Don L. Vance”

It is past time for the US to get out of the UN and the UN to get out of the US. It has become a corrupt international organization!

“The painful truth is this: Your tax-dollars help finance Planned Parenthood [Of course they do and the Republicans even while having a majority in Congress since the 2014 election keep funding it every year. The Continuing Resolution ends December 9 of this year. Will the Republican majority continue to fund Planned Murderhood?].

Becauseevery yearPlanned Parenthood [Murderhood] gets about $528 million in federal funding, which covers 40% of its pro-abortion [Murder] budget. With that infusion of cash, Planned Parenthood killed [Murdered!] 327,653 babies in one year, according to its own annual report.

That’s 27,304 abortions per month ... 910 per day ... 37 per hour [And about 1/3rd of all abortions/murders per year.].

Please sign this pro-life petition now. Tell Congress to STOP funding Planned Parenthood [Murderhood].”

Now is the time to seize the day to win in 2018 with pro-life candidates to abolish the murder of unborn babies once and for all through an act of Congress!

Restore the Constitution
Take Back the Nation



I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.




From: Senate Conservatives
To: Don L. Vance
Subject: Sessions for Attorney General
Date: November 19, 2016

JEFF SESSIONS PICKED FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL: President-elect Donald Trump has selected U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) as his pick for Attorney General of the United States. Senate Conservatives Action President Ken Cuccinelli praised the nomination saying that Sessions has a ‘long record of defending the rule of law’ and would ‘restore confidence in our judicial system.’ For more on why Senator Sessions is such a good pick, please read the op-ed written by The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky for FoxNews.com. We will be working to help confirm Sessions as Attorney General and to help fill his seat with a principled conservative.”

Jeff Sessions was an early supporter of Donald Trumps presidential candidacy. I imagine that Donald Trump told him that he could choose the position he wanted in a Trump Administration. There is nothing underhanded about it. Winners reward their early supporters.

Two plusses for Jeff Sessions being approved for the nomination. By long practice, Senators support other Senators, even of the opposition party, when appointed to an administrative position by the President. Plus, Jeff Sessions is a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which holds the hearing for the appointment for Attorney General. Furthermore, the Republicans hold an 11 to 9 member advantage on the Committee. Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin is a member of the Committee and a ranking Democrat in the Senate. If he votes for confirmation in Committee, I would think that it is going to happen. If not, the Democrats may filibuster. If they do, it will be interesting how hard Republicans will fight for one of their own. This could give insight into what to expect with other nominations.

I personally think it should turn out to be a good nomination. Time will tell. There is no question in my mind that the current Department of Justice is politically corrupt through and through!

“7 things Sessions can do immediately to restore the rule of law at Justice [Department which is currently known by many as the Department of Injustice]
By: Daniel Horowitz | November 18, 2016

Talk about change we can believe in! Senator Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama (C, 78%[Conservative Review Scorecard rating]) as attorney general would be nothing short of a game changer for the rule of law, sovereignty, and our security. [Lets pray that is true. What a difference it would be from the current Injustice Department!].

There is no part of the federal government that is more vital to our system of government, yet more damaged by the Obama years, than the Department of Justice. Whether it’s immigration law, domestic crime, jailbreak [Releasing convicted criminals early], crushing the states with lawsuits [particularly Texas as the most powerful Republican State], or religious liberty concerns [As well as many other areas.], the Justice Department stands at the nexus of the most important issues of our time. If there was ever an agency that must be cleaned out from top to bottom, its the DOJ. And no man is better suited for that job than Senator Jeff Sessions [None? Putting him on an impossible pedestal?]. He will promote equal justice under the statutes passed by Congress. Moreover, he can serve as a watchdog to ensure that other areas of the federal government are following the letter of the laws passed by Congress.

While some systemic reforms will have to come from Congress, there are some immediate steps that Sessions can take on day one to implement triage on the rule of law.

1) Clamp down on voter fraud [Every State needs a voter ID card law that is enforced]

There is nothing more critical to the rule of law and our democracy than having free and fair elections. Federal judges, acting on lawsuits promoted by Obama’s DOJ, have been misinterpreting statutes [lying for political purposes and not following the rule of law they have sworn to follow! Our federal courts are out of control because they are not held accountable!] in order to prevent states from cleaning their rolls of dead, fraudulent, and non-citizen voters. We are seeing those consequences play out now in the North Carolina governor’s election. While some of the statutes need updating from Congress, Sessions can act on day one to clean up the mess, according to J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation:

Sessions can begin to enforce federal election laws the Obama administration deliberately stopped enforcing. Motor Voter requires voter rolls to be free of foreigners, the dead and ineligible voters. Obama’s Civil Rights Division lawyers stopped enforcing that law because they disagree with the law. Sessions already understands the problems in the Civil Rights Division so I am overjoyed by his nomination [Which means the Democrats are not!].’

2) Terminate all of Obamas lawsuits and appeals [Amen! That literally may be hundreds of court cases!]

On the first day of his tenure, Sessions should call in all unit heads and have them suspend every onerous lawsuit against states who enforce immigration law, election integrity, or implement laws pushing back against the transgender [transsexual] agenda, such as North Carolina’s HB2. He should also suspend the racially-charged lawsuits against local police departments [And return control of local law enforcement to local officials. Plus, a whole lot more!]. Sessions must reverse the growing trend of federal involvement in local law enforcement that does not relate to federal law.

3) Allow states to enforce immigration law and punish sanctuary cities [Agreed! States have the authority to arrest law violators within their State boundaries!]

As Attorney General, Sessions can interpret the immigration statutes as properly written to allow states to help enforce immigration law. At the same time, they could cut off law enforcement grants (Byrne JAG, COPS, and SCAAP funds) to localities that designate themselves as sanctuary cities and refuse to cooperate with the Secure Communities program, which helps ICE identify illegal aliens housed in local jails and state prisons.

4) Defang the U.S. Sentencing Commission

While some on the Right disagree over the scope and jurisdiction of some federal criminal statutes, it is clear that this determination must be left in the hands of Congress. Sentencing for federal crimes should be determined by federal judges, as dictated by guidance pursuant to congressional statutes. Yet, in recent years, the unelected U.S. Sentencing Commission, housed within the Department of Justice, has essentially operated autonomously to commute the sentences of 46,000 criminals. As attorney general in charge of the personnel within the department, Sessions can prevent the Sentencing Commission from executing its massive jailbreak agenda beyond its statutory mandate.

5) Replace immigration judges

Why do we have so much amnesty even though the congressional statutes call for illegal aliens to be deported? The immigration judges within the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EIOR) have granted de facto amnesty by overturning deportations and letting criminal aliens roam free [Isnt this a crime? Should be!]. The administrate judges within the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which serves as the appellate body of EOIR, have the ability to overturn a deportation order from a lower administrative judge and can review all enforcement actions taken by ICE and the border patrol. As Ian Smith of the Immigration Reform Law Institute warned, many of these administrative judges were former lawyers for illegal immigrants or organizations funded by George Soros [The corruption of the Obama Administration!]. Given that they all work for the DOJ, Jeff Sessions can clean out the agency of Soros-affiliated immigration judges so that the foxes are not guarding the hen house and countermanding the intent of immigration statutes.

6) Immediately seek deportation for all illegal re-entrants

Deportations have become encumbered in a myriad of civil proceedings. There is definitely a long-term need to tighten up some enforcement statutes. But one low-hanging piece of fruit is for the DOJ to immediately seek expedited deportation for those who have re-entered illegally for a second time. Illegal re-entry is automatically a criminal prosecution [Just had a case in Texas where an illegal re-entrant murdered a young girl who was a relative! Took her from a church building while her parents were talking with others! Blood on President Obamas hands and those in his corrupt administration?], not a civil case. Moreover, many of the re-entrants are criminal aliens and should be immediately deported anyway.

7) Properly interpret the Constitution to protect states from liberal judges

There are three separate branches of the federal government. The judiciary does not have a monopoly on interpreting the Constitution. Even John Marshall’s controversial concept of judicial review [The Constitution does not give the federal courts the power of judicial review. Even my professors said as much.] only meant that the Supreme Court also has the right to interpret the Constitution for its own purposes in the cases and controversies that come before it as a co-equal [The Constitution did not create three co-equal branches of government! This is a lie of the Left that has been passed down for years!] branch of government. But the notion that the other two branches can’t push back on precedent and make a good faith attempt to interpret the Constitution for their own functions, is an ignorant misnomer among the political elites. As I noted in my piece on judicial reform, Congress has many tools it can use to fight back against the judiciary [Yes they do! The framers expected Congress to hold both the executive and judicial branches of government ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE! Congress has FAILED to do so for years!]. But the executive branch also has the right to use its own interpretation when exercising its proper scope of power. That prerogative rests with the attorney general, under the orders of the president.

Therefore, in cases where lower courts force states to infringe upon religious liberty rights of private business owners or force schools to place boys in female dressing rooms, Sessions can make it clear that his version of the Constitution mandates no such right on the states. Although he can’t overturn a particular case, he can make it clear that the executive branch will not send out the marshalls to enforce a flagrantly unconstitutional order of the court [The federal courts have NO enforcement powers. They rely on the executive branch for enforce of their decisions!]. This is exactly why the Founders vested the judiciary with no enforcement mechanism—because they are not the sole and final arbiter of the Constitution [Absolutely correct! Constitutionally, they never have been and are not today. We have let them get away with judicial tyranny!]. It is then up to Congress to either push back, affirm support, or ignore such a determination by the attorney general.

Whether one agrees with Jeff Sessions on policy or not is irrelevant to his appointment as attorney general. The job of a president, most profoundly manifest through his attorney general, is to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,’ as stated in Art. II Sec. 3 of the Constitution.

[Article II Section 3 of the United States Constitution

“He [the President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.]

If liberals are upset about our statutes or our Constitution as adopted there are legitimate ways of changing them. As it stands now, they must be regarded as the supreme law of the land. Liberals will whine and moan about the politics of Jeff Sessions, but if they truly understood his commitment to the law, they’d seek to change the laws themselves—not the personnel faithfully executing them [Much easier to change them by court fiat and by not confirming presidential appointees who will actually work to uphold the Constitution as written and amended!].”
