Be a patriot. Call Sacramento and join a July 4th tea party!

Friday, July 3, 2009, 3:12 pm |

As we approach the 233rd birthday of the United States of America, I want to challenge you to celebrate God’s planting of this nation with your heart, soul, mind and strength.

First, realize there is battle raging right now in Sacramento over more taxes, fees and borrowing. See our latest alert and call Sacramento.

When you call, please emphasize “No more borrowing,” since that’s one of the big sticking points right now.

The good news is the Republicans’ tough stand against higher taxes and fees has apparently gotten the Democrats to say they’re dropping their tax-and-fee hike proposal.

Second, watch this short video to remind yourself of the price of freedom and that freedom from immoral bondage is the real definition of freedom. Watch John Adams speak in 1776 for the Declaration of Independence. I was inspired by this and watched it twice today.

Third, if you can, stand up Saturday for freedom from immoral tyranny at the state and federal level. Don’t degrade Independence Day by turning it into Party Day or Overeating Day or Personal Whatever Day. Help rescue America by attending a July 4th Tea Party near you. See TeaPartyPatriots.org and TeaPartyDay.com.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
       Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
Unless the LORD had given me help,
       I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
       your love, O LORD, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
       your consolation brought joy to my soul.
Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
       one that brings on misery by its decrees?
Psalm 94:16-20 NIV

Are “passive pastors” to blame for bad government?

Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 4:41 pm |

Molotov Mitchell has a new video called “Who’s to blame?” which takes on priests and pastors that don’t speak out against homosexuality and abortion or teach Biblical standards for voting.

“Priests and pastors,” says Mitchell, “are the voice of America’s conscience, and many of them have grown silent, leaving congregations of voters adrift and confused.”

“Shepherds should not fear their flock,” he concludes. “That’s not leadership. That’s not Jesus.”

View this provocative two-and-a-half minute video. Then send it to your friends, family, pastors and priests who need a Biblical challenge.

Did Joel Osteen really say he doesn’t ever preach about abortion or homosexuality because it’s a “distraction”? Yes, he did, in 2006 in a TV interview with Barbara Walters.

As a born-again Christian and a pro-family patriot, I agree with this video’s challenging message. It’s high time and long overdue for pastors to start leading for moral values in their communities!

SaveCalifornia.com can train pastors or anyone to take the first steps.

I think the relevant Bible verses that apply to this video are John 10:11-15, 2 Timothy 4:1-5, John 12:42-43, and Matthew 5:13.

Schwarzenegger vows to veto tax and fee hikes

Monday, June 29, 2009, 3:47 pm |

We expected this. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he will veto the Democrats’ “majority vote” tax and fee package. Read his statement.

For those who care about the constitution, it requires a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature to raise revenue (whether it be taxes or fees).

My prediction is that if Republican lawmakers persevere for days or weeks in their opposition to new taxes, fees or borrowing, the tax-and-spend Democrats will be forced to agree.

Then the budget deficit will be plugged, government reforms begun, and working families protected from higher taxes.

The victory will belong to active and persistent citizens who hold Republican lawmakers accountable with calls, emails, faxes and more. Take action now.
