2018 Election, the Senate, the House, Conservatives, Retirements, and a Golden Opportunity to Turn Congress Conservative
Men fight for the good so they don’t have to fight against the evil.
Or as GOD says:
Proverbs 14: 34 (NIV)
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”
Mathew 15: 17-20 (NIV)
[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Everyone of these Republicans In Name Only should be primaried and defeated by an actual constitutional conservative who has not capitulated to the radical homosexual lobby in this nation. These 24 RINOs by voting to affirm the delusional fantasies of transsexuals are helping to destroy the military and are, in my opinion, putting both delusional transsexuals and all other military personnel in danger on the battle field during combat.

https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/unsustainable-raising-taxes-solves-nothing-makes-illinois-worse-off/
“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

Much has been written for many years now about how Illinois is being mismanaged. The votes to override common sense is only the latest chapter in that mismanagement.”

Nine months after the 44th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, approximately 747,945 babies within the womb have been murdered because of federal government sanctioned evil based upon one million murders of babies within the womb per year. And the murders continue day after day. What has Congress done to stop the unconstitutional murder of our own children? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Congress can not even defund Planned Murderhood.

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 one more Constitutional Justice and the one appointed 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.

Petition to defund the United Nations:
http://madisonproject.grassrootsaction.us/defund-the-united-nations-h/
The UN is a completely failed organization. It needs to be defunded.
¨ For its attacks on the sovereign State of Israel,
¨ For its promotion of and support for murdering babies within the womb and the radical homosexual agenda.
¨ For supporting and promoting the scientific nonsense of man-made global warming,
¨ And for its call for one world government in direct violation of the sovereignty of the United States of America.
¨ Then, the US needs to get out of the UN and get the UN out of the US.
I have been asking these questions for a good while. The correct answers are given below.
A brief quiz on the Constitution:
1) What Article, Section, Paragraph within the United States Constitution gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States?
There is no provision within the Constitution that gives the federal courts the power to interpret the Constitution of the United States.
2) What are the constitutional qualifications for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Appointed by the President and approved by the Senate by a simple majority vote. There are no other specific qualifications. They do not have to be lawyers. Technically, there is not even a citizenship requirement.
3) What is the constitutional term of office for individuals appointed to the federal courts?
Good behavior. As stated in this post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2017/09/constitution-day-federal-courts.html there is no “life time” appointment. The correct answer is good behavior.
Restore the Constitution
Take Back the Nation
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 [the United States]; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him [the United States] .
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 “right” to 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? GOD’S family structure not man’s]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s].’
‘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.’”

August is back to school month which is normally the second busiest season for retailers like Target. Yet, while the Dow Jones was up 3.99%, Target was only up 1.14%. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.
Dow Jones was up 3.58% in just over a month. Target was only up 1.75%. Target is still lagging behind the larger market as measured by the Dow. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.

“Jeff Flake and Bob Corker Head for the Exits
October 25, 2017
Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) announced yesterday that he will not seek re-election next year [Good. He is not a conservative.]. This, combined with the retirement of Senator Bob Corker (R-Tennessee), is good news for the country [Indeed.].
It's not just that Jeff Flake and Bob Corker have been so critical of President Trump; it’s that they campaigned as conservatives, but then supported countless liberal [Leftist] policies [Exactly.].
As SCF [Senate Conservatives Fund] supporters know, Jeff Flake misled us and misled the voters in Arizona when he said he would never support amnesty for illegal immigrants again. Shortly after he won his Senate race in 2012, he broke that promise and sided with Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and other liberals in pushing amnesty [Both Flake and McCain were part of the “Gang of Eight.”].
Yesterday, Flake unwittingly admitted that he lied to the voters.
‘The path that I would have to travel to get the Republican nomination is a path I’m not willing to take, and that I can’t in good conscience take,’ Flake said. ‘It would require me to believe in positions I don’t hold on such issues as trade and immigration and it would require me to condone behavior that I cannot condone.’
This is nonsense.
The position of opposing amnesty that he’s now unwilling to take is the very position he took back in 2012. The problem here is not that Flake is unwilling to lie about his support for amnesty; it’s that nobody will believe him this time [Ouch.].
Senator Bob Corker has been equally disappointing. He helped President Obama pave the way for his Iran nuclear deal [An absolute disaster and part of the appeasement policy of Ex-President Obama.] and has voted for massive spending, bailouts, and debt [As did a number of other Senate Establishment Republicans.].
The establishment says that Flake and Corker are retiring because of President Trump, but the real reason is that they have betrayed the voters and want to avoid embarrassing primary defeats [Ouch, again.].
These two retirements are an important step forward, but now conservatives need to work together to nominate strong replacements [Exactly. Their retirements mean little if we do not replace them with strong conservatives.]. These races have now been completely jumbled so we will have to see who runs and work with the grassroots to elect the best candidate [Arizona has four Republican members of the House who are proven conservatives. However, one just took his position this year so he may not want to venture a run for the Senate just yet. I could support any of the other three. We do not want more than one of the three to run, however. It dilutes the conservative vote. We’ve seen that in primary after primary. The last one was the primary in Utah for the special election there.].
The primary elections in Arizona and Tennessee won’t take place until August so there is plenty of time for good candidates to establish themselves with the grassroots and to help fund their campaigns [Correct. However, they need to start now. Kelli Ward has been running for over two years counting her unsuccessful campaign against Senator McCain.].
Please support our efforts to identify, recruit, and fund strong conservatives by making a contribution to SCF today.
Winning these races won’t be easy [It can and needs to be done though. We desperately need more conservatives in the Senate and 2018 will be a great year to accomplish this goal.]. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) learned nothing from the rebuke he got in Alabama and will try to recruit other pro-establishment candidates in these races [Unfortunately true. It looks like Kelli Ward may be courting his support.].
We need to be prepared to fight back and elect conservatives who will keep their word and help drain the swamp [Without question.].
Thank you for doing so much to advance conservative leadership in Washington [You are welcome. Thank you for your work in this effort.]. We’re grateful for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli II

#BREAKING Senator Jeff Flake says he will not seek re-election in 2018, citing the nastiness of Trump-era GOP politics http://azc.cc/2gGcZcK
1:46 PM - Oct 24, 2017
Citing ‘nastiness’ in politics as a reason for his retirement [How about he would not win the primary election?], Flake told the Arizona Republic that ‘there may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party [No room for a Republican In Name Only [RINO] in Arizona.].’
Flake cited support for President Trump’s agenda among Republican primary voters as a reason he is leaving.
‘Here’s the bottom line: The path that I would have to travel to get the Republican nomination is a path I’m not willing to take, and that I can’t in good conscience take,’ Flake said. ‘It would require me to believe in positions I don’t hold on such issues as trade and immigration and it would require me to condone behavior that I cannot condone.’
Though, the real reason Flake is leaving probably has something to do with his tanking poll numbers in Arizona [Could well be.] If he stayed in the race, he likely would lose to primary challenger Dr. Kelli Ward.
Ward is now running unopposed for the GOP nomination for Senate in Arizona. But Ward comes with baggage that might convince other conservatives to jump in the race [I hope so. I supported her against John McCain only because she would be better than John McCain. I do not consider her to be a true conservative from the information I have about her. She reminds me a lot of Joni Ernst of Iowa whose Conservative Review Scorecard grade is a tepid D 63% after 2 years in the Senate. 2020 is her next election.].
Recently, two of Ward’s top campaign aides quit the campaign [Not a good sign at all.], calling their efforts to legitimize Ward’s candidacy a ‘mistake [Ouch.],’ and suggesting that Ward is cozying up to figures from the D.C. swamp to become a senator [Mitch McConnell and company? If true, not good at all.].
‘After running her campaign, we’ve realized that our successful efforts to legitimize her campaign was a mistake,’ said former Ward press secretary Jennifer Lawrence last week.
‘Her campaign was such a disaster that we saw an opportunity to prove how much we can help struggling campaigns and we did just that,’ said Dustin Stockton, a former Breitbart News writer and Ward’s former Chief Strategist. ‘Unfortunately, she showed that she isn’t up to the task of standing up to the pressure that causes so many candidates to betray voters when they get to Washington [If true, good to know that now rather than after the election. All the more reason for a qualified conservative to run in the primary.].’
On Twitter, Stockton suggested that Ward has sold out for her own ambition [Wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last time, if true. This is why it is important to have a candidate who has a proven record of conservatism.] .

With Flake’s exit however, the race for the GOP Senate nomination in Arizona is Ward’s to lose [And a true conservative’s to win.].”

“Republicans who won’t be coming back to Congress after 2018 midterm elections
Kaitlyn Schallhorn, Fox News | October 25, 2017
Senator Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, an ardent critic of President Trump, announced on Tuesday that he would not seek reelection—criticizing the president and the ‘flagrant disregard of truth and decency’ as he made the announcement from the Senate floor.
Fall retirement announcements are nothing new. On average, 22 House members retire each cycle without seeking another office, Roll Call reported.
Here’s the list of Republicans, in the House and Senate, who have announced they will not seek reelection [I moved Senator Flake from the alphabetic listing to the top of the list because his announce precipitated the list, from what I can tell. Plus, he is one of two Republican Senators who have announced they will not seek reelection. The rest on the list are members of the House of Representatives.].
01) Senator Jeff Flake [F 53% 4 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Arizona, announced on October 24 that he would not seek reelection. Flake is an ardent critic of Trump.
Flake, 54, faced a tough reelection campaign in Arizona against Kelli Ward, a physician who has also challenged Senator John McCain, R-Arizona. Trump has previously said that it’s ‘great’ that Ward is running against a ‘toxic’ Flake.
In announcing that he won’t run for reelection, Flake said the GOP is becoming a ‘backward-looking minority party [Minority Party? They control the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Presidency, most Governor offices, and most General Assemblies. By any standard, how are they a minority party? Jeff Flake, as many Republicans do, pretends to be a conservative. However, his voting record demonstrates the opposite.].’
‘It is clear in this moment that a traditional conservative [He is not.], who believes in limited government and free markets, who is devoted to free-trade, who is pro-immigration [He was part of the “Gang of Eight” promoting amnesty for illegal aliens. That IS NOT being pro-immigration. Just the opposite. That is for lawlessness.], has a narrower and narrower path to nomination in the Republican Party, the party that has for so long defined itself by its belief in those things,’ Flake said.
02) Senator Bob Corker [F 47% 10 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Tennessee, said he wouldn’t run for a third term. His feud with President Trump has only escalated.
Senator Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, announced on Sept. 27 that he will not seek a third term in 2018.
Corker, 65, had previously said that he ‘couldn’t imagine’ serving more than two terms. Corker has often feuded with Trump.”
As far as I am concerned, neither Senator will be missed. This is an opportunity to replace two failing Senators with much more conservative Senators. Senators who are as conservative as the States from which they come. Both Arizona and Tennessee are more conservative than the Senators who represent them. Both States have two Republican Senators. All four of them have F scorecards. All four have become Establishment Republicans. It is past time to replace two of the four with conservatives. This is a golden opportunity. We then need to replace the other two with conservatives when the time comes.
03) “Pennsylvania Representative Charlie Dent [Pennsylvania-District 15 F 30% 12 years in office, 2018 up for reelection] said on September 7 that he would not seek reelection. The seven-term congressman told Fox News that he made the decision both for personal reasons and because ‘the polarization around here is pretty severe [He is in the “Hall of Shame” for voting for delusional transsexuals in the military. It is great to see him leave.].’
Dent, 57, has been openly critical of Trump. He voted against party lines and a repeal of ObamaCare earlier this summer.
04) Representatives Jimmy Duncan Jr. [Tennessee-District 2 B 80% 28 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Tennessee, announced in July that he would not seek reelection.
In announcing his retirement, Duncan, 70, thanked conservatives who supported him against ‘recent attacks against me from the far left.’
‘I love my job, but I love my family more.’
- Representative Duncan
‘I have decided I wanted to spend less time in airports, airplanes and traveling around the district and more time with my family, especially my nine grandchildren, who all live in Knoxville,’ Duncan said. ‘I love my job, but I love my family more.’
Roll Call reported that Duncan’s sister, state Senator Becky Duncan Massey, could launch a bid for his empty seat.
05) Representative Lynn Jenkins [Kansas-District 2 F 53% 8 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Kansas, announced on Jan. 25 that she would not seek reelection or run for another office.
Jenkins, 54, said she wanted to return to the private sector although she was highly rumored to be a possible gubernatorial candidate in Kansas.
06) Longtime Texas Representative Sam Johnson [Texas-District 3 B 82% 25 years in office, 2018 up for reelection] announced his retirement on January 6.
‘For me, the Lord has made clear that the season of my life in Congress is coming to an end,’ Johnson, 87, said.
Johnson is an Air Force veteran who was a prisoner of war at the infamous Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam.
07) Representative Raul Labrador [Idaho-District 1 A 94% 6 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Idaho, announced this summer that he would finish out his current term but then run for governor of Idaho in 2018 instead of reelection, according to HuffPost.
Labrador, 49, is a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus [He will be hard to replace.].
08) GOP Representative Tim Murphy [Pennsylvania-District 18 F 45% 14 years in office, 2018 up for reelection] of Pennsylvania announced on October 5 that he would resign his position in Congress. The news followed reports that the lawmaker, who has publicly been staunchly anti-abortion [murder of babies within the womb], had an affair and asked his mistress to get an abortion [murder of babies within the womb] when they believed she was pregnant.
Murphy, 65, said he will ‘take personal time to seek help as my family and I continue to work through our personal difficulties [I would say he has some. They seem to be of his own making. Actions always have consequences.].’
09) Instead of seeking reelection in 2018, Representative Kristi Noem [South Dakota at large Representative F 46% 6 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-South Dakota, announced in November 2016 that she will run for governor instead.
In her announcement, Noem, 45, officially kicked off her gubernatorial bid this year.
10) New Mexico Representative Steve Pearce [New Mexico-District 2 C 74% 6 years in office, 2018 up for reelection] opted to run for governor of his state instead of reelection in July.
Pearce, 70, has been a congressman for more than 12 years [The conflict between 6 and 12 years is that he earlier held office for six years and then was out of Congress. He was elected again in 2010 taking his position in 2011. Thus, both are correct.]. He told the Albuquerque Journal that as governor he would focus on the exodus of young people leaving the state.
11) After serving seven terms in Congress, Representative Dave Reichert [Washington-District 8 F 28% 12 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Washington, said he would not seek reelection on September 6. A former sheriff, Reichert, 67, represents a district that is being targeted by Democrats in 2018. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won the area in the 2016 election.
Reichert said the decision to retire from Congress was ‘the right one for my family and me [He is in the “Hall of Shame” for voting for delusional transsexuals in the military. It is great to see him leave.].’
12) Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [Florida-District 27 F 24% 27 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Florida, announced on April 30 that she would not seek reelection. Ros-Lehtinen, 65, has been a congresswoman since 1989.
‘The most difficult challenge is not to simply keep winning elections; but rather the more difficult challenge is to not let the ability to win define my seasons,’ she said.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Ros-Lehtinen is considered a moderate Republican who was not a strong supporter of Trump [She is in the “Hall of Shame” for voting for delusional transsexuals in the military. It is great to see her leave.].
13) Ohio Representative Pat Tiberi [Ohio-District 12 F 40% 16 years in office, 2018 up for reelection] that he would resign from Congress in early 2018 to lead the Ohio Business Roundtable, as the association’s president [Special election to replace or an appointment?].
Serving as a Republican Congressman for 17 years, Tiberi, 55, said that while he has ‘not yet determined a final resignation date, I will be leaving Congress by January 31, 2018.’
14) Representative Dave Trott [Michigan-District 11 F 33% 2 years in office, 2018 up for reelection], R-Michigan, announced on September 11 that he would not seek reelection.
Trott, 57, will retire at the end of his second term. His district is Republican-leaning, but analysts told the Detroit News that a Democrat could flip the seat.”
4 of the 12 members of the House of Representatives not seeking reelection have passing scorecards and need to replaced with conservatives who are equal to or more so.
1) Idaho Representative Raul Labrador Idaho-District 1 A 94%
2) New Mexico Representative Steve Pearce New Mexico-District 2 C 74%
3) Tennessee Representatives Jimmy Duncan Jr. Tennessee-District 2 B 80%
4) Texas Representative Sam Johnson Texas-District 3 B 82%
8 of the 12 members of the House of Representatives not seeking reelection have failing scorecards. They need to be replaced with good solid conservatives. This is an opportunity to replace Republicans with MUCH MORE conservative Republicans.
1) Florida Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Florida-District 27 F 24%
2) Kansas Representative Lynn Jenkins Kansas-District 2 F 53%
3) Michigan Representative Dave Trott Michigan-District 11 F 33%
4) Ohio Representative Pat Tiberi Ohio-District 12 F 40%
5) Pennsylvania Representative Charlie Dent Pennsylvania-District 15 F 30%
6) Pennsylvania Representative Tim Murphy Pennsylvania-District 18 F 45%
7) South Dakota Representative Kristi Noem South Dakota at large F 46%
8) Washington Representative Dave Reichert Washington-District 8 F 28%
Now it is time to donate for the general election victory over the Leftist candidate. I have been receiving e-mails from him daily and he is a typical Leftist candidate. He needs to be crushed as well.

“QUOTE OF THE WEEK // Hans Fiene on anti-Christian Twitter mobs: ‘Twitter: We hate Joel Osteen for not following the Bible. Also Twitter: We hate the Nashville Statement for following the Bible.’”
Supposedly, Joel Osteen said his church would not be available during the current Houston flooding challenge. The Nashville Statement confirms the long standing Christian acknowledgment that homosexual behavior is sinful behavior.
The Left hates anyone and anything that disagrees with them and their agenda.

“At the Orgy of Self-Righteousness
George Neumayr | August 18, 2017”
“One wonders what entitles this generation to speak so confidently about past evils given its inability to recognize present ones. Modern America is awash in the blood of millions of aborted [murdered] children—a monstrous evil we’re told is as central to the modern lifestyle as slavery was to the ancient one [Make no mistake about it. Murdering one’s own children is far more evil than slavery. And yes, slavery is evil.]”
The best, most constitutional way to accomplish abolishing abortion is to do the following:
1) Congress by law affirms that human life begins at conception/fertilization.
http://nationalprolifealliance.com/rlacaa_petition.aspx?npla=EH17&pid=0820c
2) Congress by law affirms that human life is protected by both Amendments Five and Fourteen from the beginning of life at conception to the end of life through natural causes.
3) Congress by law affirms that the taking of a human life within the womb is a criminal offense and establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses. Congress by law affirms that any local official and/or State official who tries to hinder and/or does not apply these laws properly has committed a criminal offense. Congress by law establishes the legal parameters for prosecuting and punishing all such criminal offenses.
4) Congress by law affirms that any and all previous court case rulings in contradiction to these specific laws passed by Congress are null and void.
5) Congress by law removes the courts from any ability to alter and/or invalidate any provisions of these specific laws passed by Congress.
Rules of Life:
1) Actions have consequences and may have a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
2) There is no reset, undo, or edit button in life.
3) You are the ONLY person responsible for your actions.
4) You are free to choose whatever action you want to take, but you are NOT free from the consequences of that action.
5) Doing nothing is an action.
Or, as GOD said in James 4: 17 (NIV)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”
Matthew 12: 35-37 (NIV)
“‘A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned [We are all held accountable by GOD.].’”
