I?ve been pretty exhausted this past weekened and luckily I was able to get some much needed rest, but I have been following several legislative issues over the last week which I believe to be crucial in our fight to put this country back on the right track.
On Thursday, March 3rd, Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) reintroduced The Constitution Restoration Act, first introduced back in February of 2004 and Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.4thDist.) reintroduced an identical House version of The Constitution Restoration Act (HR 1070), also first introduced as (HR 3799) back in February of 2004. The passage of this legislation would effectively create an impenetrable wall of separation between church and activist federal judiciaries. There needs to be firm limits on federal courts in order to prevent them from infringing on rights provided to the states by the Tenth Amendment. Continuous assault by radical secularists on constitutional rights such as the ?free exercise? clause of the First Amendment must end!
On Wednesday, March 2nd, Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC-3rdDist.) reintroduced "The Houses of Worship Freedom of Speech Restoration Act" (HR 235). Backed by Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) This legislation would repeal an IRS law that threatened the tax exempt status for houses of worship that use their pulpit to voice political opinions which might support or denounce political candidates running for an office. In 1954 Senator Lyndon B. Johnson worked this revision into the tax code to stop pastors in Texas from voicing their opposition to his reelection due to his un-Christian-like behavior.
BTW, if it hasn?t yet become clear to some of you, the reason why liberals can?t stand the hard line religious Judeo-Christian voice is because it holds them in contempt for their stance on issues which run counter to God?s plan as described throughout the Bible.
There?s also an important piece of legislation being drawn right now up by Congressman David Weldon (R-Fl-15thDist.) called "The Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act" which would protect severely disabled people ? unable to speak in their own defense - from having their plugs pulled without "de novo review" typically given to death-row inmates where an alternate and objective court can thoroughly review all evidence in the case to their case prior to the execution. The bill should be introduced this week and hopefully it will spend less than a day in committee in order to be voted on right away in both houses of Congress and signed into law by the end of the week.
Lastly, my clueless male Senator from NY, Chucky Chump Schumer (D-NY) decided to introduce an amendment to "The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention Act" (S 256) which would prevent pro-life demonstrators from filing for bankruptcy as financial protection from lawsuits brought by disgruntled abortion clinics. Because of pr-abortion legislation sponsored by Ted "hicup" Kennedy back in the early 90?s and signed by BJ Clinton in 1994 called "The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE)" demonstrators have been assaulted by scores of civil suits aimed at bankrupting the entire pro-life movement into science.
These are all new and current issues on slate for both houses of Congress. Please contact your U.S. representatives and make your voices heard. You may think that they will not listen to you, but large volumes of calls, emails, faxes and letters do get their attention.
