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.



Update: Illinois Leftists “Wall of Shame.”

1a) Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner: The last week of September, 2017 Governor Rauner also signed into law a bill requiring Illinois taxpayers to pay for the murder of babies within the womb for Illinois Medicaid recipients and State of Illinois employees.

2) 64 members of the Illinois State House of Representatives [Listed at the end of the original article]
3) 32 members of the Illinois State Senate [Listed at the end of the original article]

Update: The Illinois House of Representatives overrides the Governor’s veto increasing the individual State income tax rate by 32%.

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.”

Over 44 years of government sanctioned murder of our own children. Evil personified!

Eleven months after the 44th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, approximately 915,068 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.

DEMAND FULL REPEAL of OBAMACARE

Petition: http://madisonproject.grassrootsaction.us/demand-full-repeal-of-obamacare/



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.’”

“Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] says it needs hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding to help pregnant women. Yet when moms need prenatal care, ultrasounds, and adoption services, Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] turns them away and tells them to ‘Google it.’ How is the abortion [murder of babies within the womb] giant using our tax dollars [Over half a billion dollars of federal money in the last fiscal year and funded by a Republican Congress through the 2016-2017 fiscal year that ended September 30, 2017.]?”

Boycott Target UPDATE:

The purpose of the Target boycott is to help Target change its current policy of allowing men into the facilities of women and allowing women into the facilities of men by hurting its bottom line. A classic “follow the money” approach. Is it working? Your decision:

Target stock as of the day American Family Association called for a boycott of Target because of its transsexual policy.

Dow Jones Industrial Average June 1, 2017 closed at 21,144.18
Dow Jones Industrial Average September 1 closed at 21,987.56 up 3.99%.
Dow Jones Industrial Average October 6 closed at 22,773.67 up 3.58%.

Target from 56.15 on 9/1/17 to 57.13 on 10/6/17 up 1.75%.

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.

Target from 57.13 on 10/6/17 to 59.50 on 12/1/17 up 4.15% with the Dow up 6.4% over the same period. Target is still lagging behind the larger market as measured by the Dow. The boycott stills seems to be having the desired effect.

In my last post, I posted this paragraph in which I asked a question:

“This bill [Heartbeat Protection Act, H.R. 490] is a bit more controversial than the others because it has failed to attract the support of National Right to Life [Why? I can not understand why.]. Representative King has recently questioned their lack of support on Twitter.”

Yesterday’s post: https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2018/01/congress-pro-life-bills-pain-capable.html

Tonight’s post deals with the possible answer to why the Heartbeat Protection Act, H.R. 490 has failed to attract the support of National Right to Life.

“U.S. Congressman: Pro-life ‘turf battle’ preventing vote on bill to ban nearly all abortions [murders of babies within the womb]
Claire Chrétien | January 12, 2018

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-life groups and members of Congress are divided over whether on the day of the March for Life, the U.S. House should vote on a bill that would ban nearly all abortions [murders of babies within the womb], or instead a bill to ban infanticide after botched abortions [murder of babies within the womb. How about voting on BOTH of them on the same day?].

The Heartbeat Protection Act would make it illegal to abort [murder] babies whose heartbeats can be detected [ALL murders of babies within the womb should and need to be abolished.].

‘It’s the most protective incremental bill in existence,’ said one of its organizers, Janet Porter of Faith2Action.

The U.S. House is slated to vote on the Born-Alive Abortion [Murder of babies within the womb] Survivors Protection Act, which would expand Bush-era anti-infanticide protections for babies born alive during botched abortions [murders of babies within the womb], on January 19 as hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists march through D.C.

The Born-Alive Abortion [Murder of babies within the womb] Survivors Protection Act has 87 cosponsors. The Heartbeat Protection Act has 169 cosponsors.

Fetal heartbeats begin at 21 days and can usually be measured around six weeks into pregnancy.

Under the Heartbeat Bill, babies with detectable heartbeats who are conceived in rape cannot be aborted [Murdered. “Thou shalt not murder.” has no exceptions. Neither should ANY pro-life bill.].

The pro-lifers behind the Heartbeat Bill argue that their bill should be voted on during the March for Life.

One Democrat, Representative Collin Peterson, D-Minnesota, is a cosponsor of the Heartbeat Bill.

Since the original Born-Alive Bill became law in 2002, undercover investigations have revealed abortionists [murderers of babies within the womb] let babies “expire” or don’t give them life-saving care if they survive a late-term abortion.

Jill Stanek is a nurse who witnessed late-term babies born alive during abortion [murder of babies within the womb] procedures and left to die. She now works as the Susan B. Anthony [SBA] List’s National Campaign Chair.

‘Horrific crimes are taking place in abortion [murder of babies within the womb] facilities around the country. Children born alive are denied medical care and left to die— cold, alone, abandoned and discarded like medical waste,’ she said. ‘From Kermit Gosnell’s ‘house of horrors,’ to a D.C. abortionist [murderer of babies within the womb] admitting he would not intervene to save the baby, to a former Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood] medical director stating that the main consideration when determining whether to provide lifesaving care is who’s watching, pleading ignorance is not an option. This is infanticide, plain and simple. Everyone should be able to agree on equal protection under the law for these children [Should. The Leftists in Congress will not. They will not support any bill that in any way restricts the murder of babies within the womb].’

‘We thank Leader McCarthy for bringing this bill to a vote,’ said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. ‘It makes an excellent companion to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed last October and would end the cruel late-term abortions [murders of babies within the womb] that are so likely to produce born-alive survivors. The House has been a dynamo generating pro-life legislation over the past year and momentum is clearly building. Senate colleagues must do their part and hold a vote [Will they?].’

Although SBA has been championing the Born-Alive and Pain-Capable Bills, ‘we support the Heartbeat legislation’ its communications director Mallory Quigley told LifeSiteNews.

One of President Trump’s campaign promises to the pro-life movement was to sign the Pain-Capable Bill into law. It passed the U.S. House 237-186 last year.

Pro-life activists who focus on passing laws like the Pain-Capable Bill to end most late-term abortions [murders of babies within the womb] or the Born-Alive Bill to stop infanticide put pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] Democrats [Leftists] in an uncomfortable position. When Democrats [Leftists] voted against the Pain-Capable Bill in 2017, they were literally voting to keep legal late-term abortions [murders of babies within the womb] on babies capable of feeling pain (who often can survive if born prematurely).

If the U.S. House votes on the Born-Alive bill during the March for Life, Democrats [Leftists]’ pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] extremism will again be revealed as they vote against a bill stopping infanticide.

Some people say that bans on dismemberment abortion [murder of babies within the womb] and/or late-term abortion [murder of babies within the womb] on pain-capable babies are more likely to hold up under Supreme Court scrutiny, meaning they could significantly chip away at or even undo Roe v. Wade.

The Heartbeat Bill supporters also argue that their bill will be upheld by the Supreme Court, especially after President Trump makes his next appointment to the court when a justice dies or retires [It takes several years for a court case to move through the system to finally reach the supreme court.].

‘The next appointment to the Supreme Court makes it very likely that a Heartbeat Bill would be upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court,’ the Heartbeat Bill’s sponsor Representative Steve King [As I said in yesterday’s post, “One of the good guys.”], R-Iowa, told LifeSiteNews.

Voting to allow abortions [murders of babies within the womb] on babies with beating hearts would also likely speak volumes about the beliefs of pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] Democrats [Leftists].

Republican leadership apparently unwilling to vote unless NRLC gives stamp of approval

The Heartbeat bill’s architect, Janet Porter of Faith2Action, and Representative King believe National Right to Life (NRLC) and House Majority Leader Representative Kevin McCarthy, R-California, are betraying the pro-life movement by preventing a vote on this bill.

It’s a pro-life ‘turf battle,’ King told LifeSiteNews, in which both sides are very attached to their strategies.

‘Can you believe it?’ King posted on Facebook. ‘A ‘pro-life’ activist group is actually attempting to block a pro-life bill! This is absolutely insane and they need to be called out on their hypocrisy ASAP.’

King posted a link to NRLC’s ‘contact’ page and urged those in support of the Heartbeat Bill to call them.

NRLC disputed King’s claims.

‘National Right to Life President Carol Tobias personally told Representative King that we do not oppose his heartbeat legislation,’ Tatiana Bergum, NRLC’s deputy press secretary, told LifeSiteNews. ‘We don't understand why he is singling out National Right to Life for his unfair attacks.’

‘We are focused on supporting the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the Born-Alive Infant Survivor Act, and the Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act,” said Bergum.

King told LifeSiteNews that if the Susan B. Anthony List, Family Research Council [FRC], and National Right to Life all supported the bill, it would be brought to the floor for a vote.

‘The only organization that we can identify that’s not publicly endorsing and supporting the bill is National Right to Life,’ he said. ‘I think National Right to Life needs to decide to lead, follow, or get out of the way.’

In response to Tobias’ remarks, King said Tobias should ‘pick up the phone and call Speaker Ryan.’

King and Porter maintain that the onus is on NRLC to actively support the bill because that is the only way Republican leadership will allow a vote on it.

If Tobias gives her approval to Ryan to vote on the bill, ‘I guarantee it will come to the floor for a vote. And the lack of doing so blocks the movement of the bill,’ said King.

‘That’s all she has to do.’

It remains unclear why members of Congress feel they must have approval from NRLC to vote on a bill.

Republicans spar over which bill to put forward [How about both of them?]

‘How on earth can we protect children if members of our own party stand in the way?’ King’s Facebook post asked of his colleague McCarthy.

McCarthy’s office sent LifeSiteNews a statement arguing the Born-Alive Bill is ‘another important step’ in implementing pro-life legislation.

‘This House has proudly stood for life, passing bill after bill to stop taxpayer funding for abortion [murder of babies within the womb], defund Planned Parenthood [Planned Murderhood], protect conscience rights, and severely limit abortions [murders of babies within the womb] themselves,’ said McCarthy. ‘We have stood hand-in-hand with our allies throughout the pro-life community to make this one of the most pro-life Houses in history. Next week’s vote on the Born Alive Abortion [Murder of babies within the womb] Survivors Protection Act is another important step to our goal of saving lives, helping mothers, and protecting the most vulnerable members of our population.’

The March for Life didn’t respond to multiple enquiries about its stance on the Heartbeat Bill.

‘We are happy the House is voting that week on born alive and hope the Senate follows suit to vote on the pain capable bill around the same time,’ Tom McClusky, Vice President of Government Affairs at the March for Life, told LifeSiteNews via email. ‘We are honored to work in a coalition with FRC, National Right to Life, SBA List and all the great pro-life groups to push Congress to be bolder for protecting the unborn.’

King said that in a meeting, McClusky had been ‘a voice of encouragement’ for the Heartbeat Bill.

Several national pro-life groups to whom LifeSiteNews reached out regarding the Born-Alive and Heartbeat Bills did not respond.

Both factions in this quarrel say public opinion polling is on their side.

Are pro-lifers too cautious or not cautious enough?

King said that during a January 10 Pro-Life Caucus meeting, nearly a dozen or so legislators expressed support for the Heartbeat Bill.

‘Chris Smith chairs (the caucus) and Andy Harris is co-chair now in the absence of Trent Franks,’ said King. ‘Andy (Harris) is very solidly in support of this bill.’ Representative Smith is a Republican from New Jersey and Representative Harris is a Republican from Maryland.

‘There was caution that was voiced by Chris Smith’ that essentially was ‘we might hurt ourselves by doing too much,’ said King. King noted he and Smith remain close and have a good relationship.

‘We have been too cautious in the past [I agree. It has been frustrating how cautious the pro-life movement has been.],’ said King. ‘But now we have a pro-life majority in the House, a pro-life majority in the Senate—as difficult as it is to get to 60 votes in the Senate—(and) a president that’ll sign the bill.’

‘National Right to Life has been arguing that the Supreme Court won’t uphold’ the Heartbeat Bill, he said. ‘I think the argument’s stronger in upholding the Heartbeat Bill than it is in upholding the Pain-Capable Bill.’

‘I don’t wanna disparage (the) Pain-Capable’ Bill, said King, who is one of its cosponsors. ‘But that bill was written during the Obama era with the idea that Obama could be convinced to sign it [Which was not going to happen. Ex-President Obama was NOT going to do anything that the pro-murder of babies within the womb Leftists did not want. He was and IS one of them.]. It wasn’t written with the expectation that we would have a president that would actually sign a pro-life bill ... the Heartbeat Bill is written with that’ understanding.

‘It’s time for us to be bold and confident and strong [Past time. Which is how Christians and ALL pro-lifers should always be.]. We’re a pro-life nation now [We always have been when the people are told the truth instead of the continues lies that come from the Left and the Leftists within the federal court system.],’ King argued.

King is also a cosponsor of the Born-Alive Bill.

The Heartbeat Bill ‘has more than earned a place’ on the U.S. House floor, said King. He said soon he’ll be left with two choices: ‘simply give up and put the bill in the drawer’ or ‘do the things that now make people uncomfortable.’

‘I know if I have to answer to God which one He’ll tell me I need to do,’ said King. ‘He’ll say, ‘save the babies. Don’t worry about people’s feelings; save the babies.’’

‘I’m not interested in people’s egos; I’m interested in saving the lives of babies,’ he said. And if he’s unsuccessful in bringing the Heartbeat Bill to the floor for a vote, ‘I’ll be obligated to do everything that I can do that is within the rules and within the morals and ethics and standards that each of us should have.’

‘This is your moment to act’

Speaker of the House Representative Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, is speaking at the March for Life, along with Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Washington, Representative Dan Lipinski, D-Illinois, and Representative Chris Smith, R-New Jersey.

‘If people want to end abortion [murder of babies within the womb], they need to mount grassroots pressure like never before,’ said Porter. ‘The easiest way to do that is to click one button to send seven faxes to the ones who can call for a Heartbeat Bill floor vote in Congress. You can do that at Faith2Action.org.’ [I just did this. The seven FAXs are free.].

‘There’s no reason not to do it … I’m actually losing money’ by funding this, said Porter. ‘If you want to do more than march to end abortion [murder of babies within the womb], this is your moment to act.’”

We need many more conservatives in the Senate to abolish the sinful EVIL that is the murder of babies within the womb. That is why I will be concentrating on Senate elections in 2018 although also dealing with some important House races. We need to end the abomination that is the murder of babies within the womb. Every day is a day too late.

It is past time to hold federal judges accountable. Impeachment is a method provided within the Constitution to hold federal judges accountable. We need to elect Congressional candidates who are willing to expose the misdeeds of judges and are willing to hold them accountable through impeachment and conviction, if necessary. 

John 3: 20 (NIV)

“Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”

Ephesians 5: 11 (NIV)

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

Proverbs 26: 26 (NIV)

“Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.”

We need to replace as many Establishment Republicans will conservatives as we can. We all know Mitch McConnell and his crew are going to support the Establishment Republican over a conservative. They have time after time. We last saw it in Alabama where Establishment Republicans including Mitt Romney actually helped the Leftist win the special election.

This election year, I will concentrate on federal Senate elections, selected federal House elections, and certain gubernatorial elections. Illinois will be one of those gubernatorial elections. The Illinois primary is currently underway. In the primaries, I will concentrate on the Republican candidates most often.

We need to rededicate ourselves to abolishing the murder of babies within the womb this coming year. The sooner the murder of babies within the womb is abolished, the more innocent lives that will be saved. Pray and then get actively involved in the solution. If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. Words have consequences. Actions have consequences. Inaction has consequences.

Ephesians 6: 10-17 (NIV)

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

1) belt of truth.
2) breastplate of righteousness.
3) feet fitted gospel of peace.
4) shield of faith.
5) helmet of salvation.
6) sword of the Spirit. [Our weapon is the HOLY SPIRIT. Is there a more powerful weapon, if used righteously?]

“Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

[Refrain]

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.”

Matthew 5: 10-12 (NIV)

“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.’”

“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.].’”
