NEWS: Two years ago, Governor Beshear pushed for an amendment to the Kentucky Constitution to allow for expanding gambling (slot machines) in our state, the votes failed for that. During the last legislative session, it was tried to put this under the umbrella of the lottery. The votes failed for that too. Now this isn't coming up for a vote at all; it's just being put in place without the voters or General Assembly getting to say anything about it. The slot machines, called "Instant Racing," are where gamblers put money in a machine and bet on films of old horse races. It is a back-door attempt to do what the gambling industry failed to convince legislators to do during the last General Assembly session: allow wealthy horse tracks to bypass the Kentucky Constitution.

The Family Foundation of Kentucky has filed a brief in Franklin Circuit Court to intervine in what it calls a "one-sided case" filed by several horse tacts that would expand gamling byond current limits. This way of incrasing the state's revenue violates Biblical principles. (See Proverbs 22:16; 28:22; 11:28.)

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: You can do two things: 1) You can contact the Family Foundation of Kentucky and help them in their fight against expanded gambling. 2) You can contact your State-level legislators and tell them to take action to stop this violation of the State Constitution.

Boycott Sears!

Kagan: anti-military, anti-family, anti-homeschooling

NEWS: Elena Kagan's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court will soon be before the full U.S. Senate. When clerking for Justice Thurgood Marshall during a Supreme Court case where an Ohio family wanted to homeschool their child she tried to get the ruling against the parents by writing, that the parents are "self-described born-again Christians who adhere to a literal interpretation of the Bible and have little sympathy with the secular world." In addition, in trying to persuade against the Christian parents right to homeschool she wrote: "This burden on religious freedom is slight, and the interest of the state is great."

In addition to her anti-homeschooling stance she also kicked military recruiters off of campus when she was a university president, and has called the Defense of Marriage Act "abhorrent." In her hearings she also said she doesn't believe in "natural rights" referring to the Declaration of Independence which says that"all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: To stop this radical left-wing liberal from getting a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court you must contact your Senators in Washington D.C. before her nomination is put to a vote. Let them know if they vote for her that you will not be voting for them. Click here for your Senator's contact information.

Help a school in fight against ACLU

NEWS: The communistic ACLU is at it again. They have threatened a lawsuit against a school in Rhode Island if a prayer, mounted on the wall since 1958, isn't changed. (Prayer is listed below.)

Officials of the school district say they cannot afford to fight the ACLU, which objects to the religious references and will likely give in to the ACLU. All this does it let the ACLU win without even a fight. In actually court battles, the ACLU has a growing trend of losing. We should not give in to intimidation!

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: The school committee is scheduled to take action August 16. You can contact Cranston High School West and express your encouragement to keep the prayer in the school and to not give in to the ACLU. You can call the main office at: (401)270-8049, or e-mail them at: chsw@cpsed.net or write them at:

Cranston High School West

80 Metropolitan Avenue

Cranston, RI 02920

Here is the prayer in question:

"Our Heavenly Father,Grant us each day the desire to do our best,To grow mentally and morally as well as physically,To be kind and helpful to our classmates and teachers,To be honest with ourselves as well as with others.Help us to be good sports and smile when we lose as well as when we win.Teach us the value of true friendship.Help us always to conduct ourselves so as to bring credit to Cranston High School West.Amen"

Sodomy taught at 1st grade!

NEWS: There is a new sex education program in Montana teaching fifth-graders the different ways people have intercourse, first-graders about homosexual love, and kindergartners anatomical terms.

The program also teaches high school students about erotic art (PORNOGRAPHY), and about anxiety concerning sexual performance in high school.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT: Though this particular issue is in Montana, it is spreading all over the country. To keep this outrage from coming to your child's school, attend school board meetings to find out what materials they intend to push on your children.

Parents in Montana are considering impeachment the school board members or filing a lawsuit. We must take a strong, active, vocal stance against such perversions.
