Open or Secret Ballot

VOTE IS TODAY!

DEMAND SCOUT DELEGATES
VOTE BY OPEN BALLOT

Yesterday morning I received by email the following press release asserting that when BSA Delegates meet in Dallas this week the votes they cast on the proposal to modify the ban on homosexuality in scouting will be given by secret ballot.
I spoke with the grassroots group distributing this press release to get a sense of its accuracy. Because if what it says is true, people who care about scouting need to do everything possible to MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD, and spread the word TODAY before the vote takes place.

Press Release For Immediate Release: NOSECRETS IN SCOUTS.org May 21, 2013 "All aspects of the Scouting Program are open to observation by parents and leaders" – Boy Scout Handbook Boy Scout Delegates to Cast Secret Vote on Controversial Policy Change Scouting Families Demand Openness and Transparency On May 23, 2013 1400 delegates from across the nation will meet in Dallas, Texas to vote on the most contentious issue to face Boy Scouts in its 103 year history, whether or not to admit openly or avowed homosexuals. This past spring, scouts, parents and churches completed an extensive survey concerning this issue. From these surveys the views of the local councils on whether to amend Scouting's membership policy were assembled and a resolution proposing a change in membership policy was drafted. Scouters are raising concerns that their views on the policy change will not be represented because the votes of the 1400 delegates will be made in Secret. Whether for or against the proposed change in membership policy scouts have a right to know how their representatives voted. Scouting's own guidelines require there be no secrets in scouting stating, "All aspects of the Scouting Program are open to observation by parents and leaders". The members of NoSecretsInScouts.org insist this guideline should apply to the policy vote as well. NoSecretsInScouts.org demands the May 23, 2013 vote be open and transparent.

SHOUT NO CHANGES TO BOY SCOUTS' MORAL CODE

The secret ballot makes sense as a means of protecting from intimidation individuals acting on their own behalf from intimidation. But it makes no sense for people who are serving as representatives. This is why, for example, in votes of substance in America's legislative bodies each representative's vote is publicly declared and counted. Even their presence or absence is clearly recorded.
As the name implies, delegates act on behalf of those they represent. True representation demands accountability. But the secret ballot procedure is precisely intended to prevent those who vote from being called to account for their vote. Therefore a secret ballot defeats the purpose of representation whenever people with delegated authority are voting on matters that require a substantive exercise of that authority (i.e., on matters not simply procedural.)
This way of proceeding with the BSA's decision on homosexuality adds to the ugly impression that the BSA is being bullied by an elitist clique of powerful financial backers into adopting a policy detrimental to the organization and its members, and firmly opposed by a solid majority of them.
The scouting way of life is one of honesty and honor, not duplicitous secrecy. If enough people are made aware of this travesty of representation beforehand, their protests may encourage delegates who respect that way of life to demand that an accountable vote be taken. If they succeed, what some, in the shadow of secrecy, might be intimidated into betraying, others may in light of constituent scrutiny be emboldened to defend.
Please let the Boy Scout National Board leaders know where YOU stand!

SPECIAL Prosecutor needed

WHAT DID OBAMA KNOW,
AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

Anti-Tea Party IRS Union Leader Met With Obama
One Day Before Conservatives Targeted
"Leaker" Lois Lerner Now Refuses to Testify
Pleads The Fifth

DEMAND A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NOW!

URGENT: If you haven't yet read the American Spectator "Smoking Gun" piece by Jeff Lord on the IRS CRIMES and on-going COVER UP that traces the start of the IRS political persecution of Tea Partiers, patriots and Christians to a White House personal meeting with BARACK OBAMA, read it soon!
In the meantime, here's the gist:
According to the White House Visitors Log, the IRS careerist president of the hard-left 150,000 member National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, VISITED BARACK OBAMA on MARCH 31, 2010 at 12:30 p.m.
THE VERY NEXT DAY, the order went out for the IRS political assault against conservatives, says Treasury Department Inspector General's report! Coincidence? Not likely; more likely it's Obama's 'smoking gun' that will prove to tie him directly to felony abuse of the IRS against hundreds, perhaps thousands, of organizations and private citizens!

ENDORSE THE INJUNCTION – DEMAND CONGRESS ACT NOW!
STOP OBAMA'S IRS ASSAULT ON POLITICAL SPEECH & OUR LIBERTY
TELL CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE, INDICT, IMPEACH!

The IG report reads:

April 1-2, 2010: The new Acting Manager, Technical Unit, suggested the need for a Sensitive Case Report on the Tea Party cases. The Determinations Unit Program Manager Agreed.

And as Lord so adeptly reminds us with the infamous phrase from the run-up to NIXON'S IMPEACHMENT proceedings:
WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?
The NTEU represents IRS employees along with those of 30 other separate government agencies – its PAC endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 and has thrown in HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO OBAMA AND OTHER LEFTISTS, SEEKING TO DEFEAT ANTI-TEA PARTY CANDIDATES! In other words… IRS employees were actively supporting Obama's reelection and financing anti-Tea Party candidates as part of their union PAC while in their official capacities they were blocking, auditing and outright intimidating Tea Partiers and patriots around the country!
But wait – it gets worse.
SIX DAYS after the 2009 White House Christmas Party, attended by Kelly as well as four labor "activists" representing AFL-CIO, SEIU, UNITE and the UFCW, Barack Obama issued an Executive Order 13522: "Creating Labor-Management Forums To Improve Delivery of Government Services."
In design and in effect, this presidential EO allows favored employees and unions to have pre-decisional involvement over ALL workplace matters – this is the same union that already dominated IRS employees. Jeff Lord uses the example of determining WHO gets a Blackberry and HOW big is someone's office. This is the same union who Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer, Al Franken, Max Baucus and others OPENLY URGED TO TARGET TEA PARTIERS AND CONSERVATIVES.
TIT-FOR-TAT. Democrats were DETERMINED to PUNISH the rightwing for their 2010 election victories; shut down the Tea Parties in the 2012 election cycle… and ensure that no repeat of 2010 would be allowed!
YET, NO ONE IS REVEALING WHO KNEW WHAT AND WHEN THEY KNEW IT!

ENDORSE THE INJUNCTION – DEMAND CONGRESS ACT NOW!
STOP OBAMA'S IRS ASSAULT ON POLITICAL SPEECH & OUR LIBERTY
TELL CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE, INDICT, IMPEACH!

Last week at Barack Obama's press conference with the Turkish Minister (the one where the unfortunate Marine was called in against Corps regulations to play butler and hold the 'Anointed One's' presidential umbrella), Julianna Goldman of Bloomberg News asked:

"Mr. President, I want to ask you about the IRS. Can you assure the American people that nobody in the White House knew about the agency's actions before your Counsel's Office found out on April 22nd? And when they did find out, do you think that you should have learned about it before you learned about it from news reports as you said last Friday? And also, are you opposed to there being a special counsel appointed to lead the Justice Department investigation?"

Obama's response:

"But let me make sure that I answer your specific question. I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked through the press."

NOTE: GOLDMAN DID NOT ASK WHEN HE KNEW ABOUT THE IG REPORT.
Obama ducked. He dodged, and so far he's getting away with it as the quislings in Congress feign OUTRAGE while  at the same time REFUSE TO EMPOWER A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO HOLD THIS ADMINISTRATION AND ALL OF ITS LITTLE INTERDEPARTMENTAL CO-CONSPIRATORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR TOTALITARIAN ASSAULTS ON OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES!

ENDORSE THE INJUNCTION – DEMAND CONGRESS ACT NOW!
STOP OBAMA'S IRS ASSAULT ON POLITICAL SPEECH & OUR LIBERTY
TELL CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE, INDICT, IMPEACH!

As of now the law for Special Prosecutors or Independent Counsels – Watergate-style investigations headed by a prosecutor OUTSIDE the president's Department of Justice – has EXPIRED and we all know WHY Harry Reid and the Obamacrats will be very, very reluctant to RE-AUTHORIZE that legislation! But can they seriously expect America to accept a prosecutor from Eric Holder's shop to handle this scandal?
We cannot possibly expect any justice out Holder's corrupt DOJ for ANYTHING – be it the IRS political targeting, BENGHAZI, Fast and Furious or that SIXTY MILLION medical records seized by the  IRS ObamaCare compliance-Gestapo!
MAKE NO MISTAKE: These are not just "missteps" or "bad judgment" by some civil servant underlings. They are strategically planned political FELONIES!
EVERY SINGLE VIOLATION MUST BE PROSECUTED to the fullest extent of the law.
If we put enough of Obama's functionaries in prison, or in jeopardy of doing federal time, some of them will split on him. These crimes involve malicious violations of the public trust; they represent serious misdemeanors and FELONIES begging for jail time, NOT MISTAKES OR "POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE"!
Accountability is what they did with the Watergate conspirators… people went to jail, even AFTER they cooperated.
That is what we must do RIGHT NOW.

ENDORSE THE INJUNCTION – DEMAND CONGRESS ACT NOW!
STOP OBAMA'S IRS ASSAULT ON POLITICAL SPEECH & OUR LIBERTY
TELL CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE, INDICT, IMPEACH!

More Planned Parenthood Brutality

Butchers of Planned Parenthood to Train Medical Students How to Perform Abortions


by Dave Jolly
Planned Parenthood Wilmington Delaware

In a previous article, Planned Parenthood Patient Torture Leads to Huge Lawsuit, I wrote about another botched abortion that gave the report from the ER doctor who had to save her life. This case has led to a huge lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, which is being handled by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Ayanna Beyr.

Also in that article, I listed numerous other articles relating to the horrors and deaths at the hands of abortionists, a number of them which preform their butchery in Planned Parenthood clinics. I only mentioned a few, but if you go searching online, you will find many more reports of women who have been killed or seriously injured by incompetent abortionists, some which can’t even get hospital admitting privileges.

Knowing the savagery that takes place in abortion clinics around the nation, I was surprised to learn that one of the worst Planned Parenthood clinics is seeking medical students for abortion training.

Dr. Eric Schaff, the doctor at the Wilmington Planned Parenthood clinic in Delaware has begun trying to recruit medical students to come and train with him in the art of female butchery. Schaff has a shining medical record that should attract the worst medical students available. In August of 2005, New York censured and reprimanded him along with ordering him to pay $5,000 for falsifying medical records. Not to be deterred from his quest to slaughter the female species, Schaff took his skills to Pennsylvania and Delaware.

At the Wilmington Planned Parenthood clinic, there have been four botched abortions in the last five weeks:

Feb. 8, 2013 – The clinic had to call 9-1-1 because they had a female patient that was unconscious and having difficulty breathing and needed to be bagged. There were two doctors and three nurses on hand and yet they still needed to call 9-1-1.

Feb. 16, 2013 – The clinic had to call 9-1-1- because they had a female patient that was bleeding more than the doctors could handle.

Mar. 8, 2013 – A female patient underwent an incomplete abortion at the clinic that required hospitalization 5 days later. Doctors at the hospital discovered fetal tissues, including a leg and foot, still inside the woman.

Mar. 13, 2013 – A female patient was observed being loaded into an ambulance from a local hospital. During the filming of this incident, 63 year old Rae Stabosz, was assaulted by a woman that came out of the Planned Parenthood office and the assault was caught on Rae’s video.

Operation Rescue has been monitoring this Planned Parenthood clinic and is responsible for the reports. Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue commented about the Wilmington Planned Parenthood clinic, saying:

“Given the recent safety concerns at this Planned Parenthood facility, it is shocking to think of the shoddy training that must be going on there. We don’t need more abortionists out there maiming women with substandard practices.”

“This clinic needs to be closed in the interest of public safety, and we are in the process of filing complaints to make sure that happen.”

Allowing Dr. Schaff to train medical students on how to perform abortions is like putting someone with absolutely no leadership skills in the office of President of the United States. Wait, we did that and look at the way Obama’s butchered our nation. I don’t think we want to see women treated the same way and I agree with Newman that this Planned Parenthood needs to be shut down, along with every other abortion clinic in the United States.

Victory!  Supreme Court takes case for Jesus prayers

Larry Killion

Today the U.S. Supreme Court announced a miracle.  They will hear our plea, and answer our prayers, by taking the case Town of Greece vs. Galloway (formerly Galloway vs. Town of Greece), which will be the most important free speech case in a generation, when arguments begin in October.  After declining 3 similar cases in recent years, they finally agreed to hear a GREAT case to rule if it's OK to pray publicly "in Jesus' name."

In 2007 I wrote and faxed the hero Supervisor John Auberger of Greece, New York, who heard our plea and defended citizens and pastors free speech rights to pray "in Jesus' name," before council meetings.  When atheist complainers threatened to sue, I advised him to hire Christian lawyers from ADF who would defend him pro-bono in court.  He did exactly that.  Those lawyers I recommended to him will now argue at the Supreme Court.

In 2008, the atheist complainers sued Greece and Auberger.  Two citizens with Americans United for Separation of Church and State complained they were offended that some prayers ended "in Jesus' name" or they heard Christian prayers spoken by Christians.   (They ignored the fact Jewish and Ba'hai people also prayed freely, taking turns, and atheists declined to say their own speech when invited).

The atheist sued, and lost in 2010.  But they appealed and the atheists won in 2012.  The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it's illegal for citizens to pray "in Jesus' name" because by allowing free speech, the town was favoring freedom, rather than censoring the illegal word "Jesus" which is banned by the Constitution as illegal speech. (Say what?)

Outraged but not surprised, we prayed for a miracle, and God answered our prayers today.   Watch our recent prayer on video, which God heard today, here-->

Considering only a handful of cases are taken by SCOTUS each year, this is truly a miracle!  Yet now we must pray in earnest, that they get the decision right.

Scouting Scandal

Championing Pastors to Transform America

Dear Pastor Killion, Next week, on Thursday, May 23rd, between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the 1,434 members of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America will vote on whether to change Scout standards to admit scouts regardless of "sexual orientation." FRC and a coalition of pro-family, pro-Scout groups have worked hard to let Americans know what is happening. Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to over 100 key Scout executives and commissioners with a single click, and check out the other resources available on this site. Three requests: 1) Please include the Scouts in your remarks this Sunday and call for prayer; 2) Urge everyone to pray between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM next Thursday; 3) Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to key Scout executives and commissioners. This is critically important to the future of the Scouts and the moral fiber of our nation. Standing for Faith, Family and Freedom, Dr. Kenyn M. Cureton Vice President for Church Ministries Family Research Council www.frc.org

=========================================================
When I made a prayer request about this issue, I was told by a person that claims to be deeply involved in the scouting program that this decision has already been made and is only being made public this Thursday .  In other words, no sense praying about it.  They have decided to open up the program to openly "gay" people but not allow them to be in places of leadership.  Hmmmm.  Well, maybe so, but I cannot help but feel that I need to keep praying about the issue.  

God in heaven knows my heart on the matter and I want everyone else to know that I want the "morally straight part" of the Scout Pledge to stay intact as it was when I was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout.  Homosexuality was not, is not and shall never be a part of the "traditional " Boy Scouts of America.  The sodomites with all of their money and political shenanigans may be pulling strings to push their agenda on everyone in scouting like they have done elsewhere regarding the definition of marriage and so on but, if they are successful for now - that will not be the end of the story.  God is not mocked.  

My prayer is that those that have embraced this twisted ideology will repent before it is everlastingly too late for them.  When the ungodly agenda of open sodomy was introduced into the scouting programs of other countries like Canada and England, the program lost at least one half of their membership due to the fact that many of the sponsors of local scouting programs were in faith based organizations and churches that could not endorse sodomy as acceptable.  

Perhaps after this week the only thing that will change is that we will have two choices for scouting in America, the Old Traditional Boy Scouts of America and the New Homosexual Boy Scouts of America.  May God have mercy on us if we keep going like we are going in this country today.

IRS Abuse

We need more answers about IRS abuse of power

On May 10^th, America learned that the IRS – perhaps the most frightening of all government agencies – has been singling out and targeting conservative groups, including Tea Party groups.  This admission from the IRS confirms what many of us had already suspected.  The IRS has, in fact, been delaying our Tea Party Patriots application and harassing those of us who wanted to form local Tea Party chapter organizations.  In some extreme cases, the IRS went after Tea Party local leaders and audited their family members.

Obama said the IRS’s actions are “unacceptable.”  Really?  He needs to own up to the fact that his henchmen's actions are also un-American and un-Constitutional.  The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to free speech, which includes the right to political speech and the right to associate and form groups with other like-minded individuals.  The Tea Party movement, which began organically in 2010 in response to government excess, has attracted millions of regular Americans.  The Tea Party movement is, at its core, the embodiment of the American spirit.  The Tea Party movement sprang up in response to the government’s abuses of its powers, and this latest stunt from the IRS confirms for many of us why the Tea Party is so necessary.

In response to this outrageous revelation, the House Ways & Means Committee immediately held a hearing to question Steven Miller, the former acting commissioner of the IRS who resigned because of the scandal, but only one month before his term would have ended. The questions at the hearing covered a broad spectrum: When did you learn about this targeting?  What actions did you take after learning about this issue?  Why did you previously lie to the Ways & Means Committee?  Why did you mislead the American people about this problem?  But Mr. Miller is apparently suffering from temporary amnesia because the only answer he offered was: “I don’t remember.”  The systemic abuse of power that took place for nearly three years at the IRS is simply too far-reaching and widespread for Mr. Miller to get away with not remembering what took place.

Americans expect that our government will enforce its laws and rules – especially its tax laws – with fairness and equal application.   Congress needs to keep asking questions and demanding more substantive answers than the evasive responses Mr. Miller provided.

Steve Stockman

Dear patriot,

The United Nations’ so-called “Arms Trade Treaty” makes me sick! 

I’m Congressman Steve Stockman, and this UN Gun Grab is the biggest threat to gun owners in decades.

It requires an international license to own a gun.

It requires registration of all guns worldwide.

It bans all transfers of semi-automatic firearms

It even requires the confiscation and destruction of any gun not approved by the UN. 

Your gun.

Right now anti-gun and global lobbyists are infesting the halls of the Capitol, twisting arms and offering favors in exchange for the U.S. ratifying this gun-grabbing atrocity.

Obama is 100% on board and using every corrupt tool in his arsenal to approve it.

When international forces threaten American sovereignty and freedom, real Americans fight back!

I know you’re a real American, fighting for the rights of every man.

I hope you will join me.

And we must fight the UN Gun Ban without fear and without mercy.

Courage is the thing that keeps us free.

Working with my friend Senator Rand Paul I’ve introduced legislation to overturn Obama’s anti-gun Executive Orders. (HR 410)

I’ve also introduced legislation to:

>> Repeal deadly, failed, “Gun Free School Zones.” (HR 35)

>> Protect veterans from having their guns confiscated simply because they talked to a counselor about their wartime experiences. (HR 577)

But this UN Gun Grab is an entirely different threat.

That’s why I introduced HR 575, The Second Amendment Protection Act, which states Congress must not approve any treaty that threatens the Second Amendment.

But it won’t pass unless Americans rise up and demand it.

That means putting together an aggressive grassroots campaign to alert patriots and blow the whistle on the UN Gun Grab.

You’d be stunned how many patriots have no idea this is happening.

Help me raise a grassroots army and stop the UN Gun Grab.

All I ask of you right now is to please go here and chip in $10 or more to help me alert and organize patriots.

This UN Gun Grab is much worse than anything Clinton ever did.

I will fight it as hard as I can.

But I need you with me.

My Second Amendment Protection Act can stop the UN Gun Grab.

With courage and a unified patriot front, we can do this.

Please go here to chip in $10 or more to help me.

Warmest wishes,

 

CONGRESSMAN STEVE STOCKMAN

Constitutional Republican from Texas

NO more money for murder

SEN. BLUMENTHAL REJECTS
'GAME CHANGING' PRO-LIFE RESOLUTION

CONGRESS, MEDIA MAY IGNORE
INFANTICIDE, BUT WE SHALL NOT!

'GAY' JASON COLLINS STORY RECEIVED
1970% MORE COVERAGE THAN GOSNELL

Tell Washington – No More Child-Killing

"It will have blood, they say. Blood will have blood. Stones have been known to move, and trees to speak. Augurs and understood relations have by maggot pies and choughs and rooks brought forth the secret'st man of blood." (Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Act 3, Scene 4)
As reported by The Daily Caller, a Senate resolution put forth by Constitutionalist Utah Republican Mike Lee aimed at investigating and correcting the policies which led to and enabled the illegal infanticide and gruesome abortion practices of Philadelphia child-killer Kermit Gosnell was BLOCKED Monday evening by an "unknown senator" who objected its unanimous passage.
The sense of resolution found so repugnant?
"The sense of the Senate that Congress and the States should investigate and correct abusive, unsanitary, and illegal abortion practices."

TELL CONGRESS – NO MORE MONEY FOR MURDER
DEFUND HHS MANDATE, OBAMACARE, PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Senator Lee's press secretary later identified the senator who opposed the Gosnell hearings resolution as Senator Rich Blumenthall of Connecticut.
"Congress has the responsibility to investigate and conduct hearings on abortions performed near, at, or after viability in the United States, public policies regarding such, and evaluate the extent to which such abortions involve violations of the natural right to life of infants who are born alive or are capable of being born alive, and therefore are entitled to equal protection under the law," the Lee resolution states.
"It is difficult to imagine why anyone would object to a non-binding resolution calling on Congress to investigate these alleged disturbing, horrific, and illegal abortion practices committed by Kermit Gosnell and others," Lee said in a statement.
BUT WE KNOW WHY – because recognizing pre-term babies as human beings deserving of ANY rights or protections would undermine the entire "pro-choice" movement, which ignores conception as the miracle of God and a blessing to be respected and cherished, choosing instead to annihilate innocent life as a threat to so-called women's "rights"!

TELL CONGRESS – NO MORE MONEY FOR MURDER
DEFUND HHS MANDATE, OBAMACARE, PLANNED PARENTHOOD

The depraved objection by dogmatic Leftist Blumenthall was filed against Senator Mike Lee's resolution calling for a review of public policies that led to the bloody and illegal abortion practices of Dr. Kermit Gosnell and others. Lee attempted to "hotline" the resolution on Monday evening, but Blumenthall blocked unanimous passage of the language.
Lee added: "With numerous reports of similar instances surfacing around the country, the need for greater regulatory oversight of these so-called clinics is so plainly obvious it strains the limits of disbelief to think all members of the Senate would not agree. The resolution is simply an affirmation that we as a country – a moral and compassionate society – have an interest in acting to save the lives of innocent women and children, and to prevent these kinds of heinous acts from happening to anyone again."

IRS & Freedom Foundation

Dear Larry, We had to check: Has the IRS been watching the Freedom Foundation? The short answer: Yes. After reviewing our website traffic since the beginning of last year, here's what we found: State government has been all over our site-well over 2,000 visits. That's what we want, of course, since we offer a lot of resources to state and local policymakers.   The IRS has been on our site multiple times. Those visits were relatively brief, but we had two long visits from the White House itself.   Other federal agencies browsing myFreedomFoundation.org? The Department of Justice, FBI ... even Homeland Security (34 times!). I hope all these agencies were just looking for advice ... but that seems unlikely, especially after the last week of revelations about the IRS's gross violations of civil liberties. The truth is that massive bureaucratic government is simply incompatible with the protection of individual rights . An agency like the IRS-whose nearly 100,000 employees hold the power to demand an annual accounting from just about every American worker and business-is, at best, a Sword of Damocles* hanging over all our heads. This is why we at the Freedom Foundation do what we do. Our mission is to advance individual liberty along with the free markets and limited, accountable government that allow personal freedom to flourish. From our litigation team to our media outlet to our citizen trainers and policy analysts, we're proud to defend freedom. And we're not afraid of the IRS. Thanks for being part of the Freedom team. You can help make the team even bigger if you contribute today. For Freedom, Trent England Executive Vice President   P.S. Today is the last day to file for election this year.

According to Greek legend, Damocles was a courtier of Dionysius II, King of Syracuse. He remarked to Dionysius how wonderful it must be to have such wealth and power. Dionysius let Damocles take the throne, but he had a great sword hung over it, suspended by a single horsehair, to show the great danger that so often accompanies great power.

EDITOR'S NOTE GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE! How much of a joke has "accountability" become in this Administration? Contrary to Barack Obama's tough-guy rhetoric, no one has lost his job over the IRS scandal yet. The Acting IRS Commissioner, Steven Miller - who sat before a House Ways and Means hearing on Friday and answered "I don't know" to virtually every question - is departing on schedule in June. The current head of the tax-exempt organizations department is retiring gracefully, without any hint of shame or punishment... after only one week on the job. And his predecessor, Sarah Hall Ingram - the woman who was actually in charge of that fabulously corrupt department during years of abuse? Why, she got promoted. She's going to be in charge of ObamaCare enforcement now. How is it possible for any government to function with such a low level of trust from the public - let alone a massive super-government that claims the power to regulate our daily lives? The concept of "accountability" is an absolute farce, coming from people who claim they learn about the activities of their own subordinates by watching the news. And the only news channel to report on the biggest Obama scandals is the one the President routinely demonizes. -- John Hayward Senior Writer TODAY'S TOP STORIES

Pray for traditional Scouting

Championing Pastors to Transform America

Dear Pastor Killion, Next week, on Thursday, May 23rd, between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, the 1,434 members of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America will vote on whether to change Scout standards to admit scouts regardless of "sexual orientation." FRC and a coalition of pro-family, pro-Scout groups have worked hard to let Americans know what is happening. Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to over 100 key Scout executives and commissioners with a single click, and check out the other resources available on this site. Three requests: 1) Please include the Scouts in your remarks this Sunday and call for prayer; 2) Urge everyone to pray between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM next Thursday; 3) Urge your people to visit OnMyHonor.net to send their thoughts to key Scout executives and commissioners. This is critically important to the future of the Scouts and the moral fiber of our nation. Standing for Faith, Family and Freedom, Dr. Kenyn M. Cureton Vice President for Church Ministries Family Research Council www.frc.org
