From our friends at Family News in Focus and CitizenLink Daily Update we find some disturbing news coming out of Cincy.

Abortion giant calls itself a parking garage in stealth move.

No one noticed when “Auburn Avenue Parking” decided to move into Cincinnati. Turns out, the parking garage was just a front for Planned Parenthood.

Jim Sedlak, president of STOPP International, said the deception is telling.

“It’s really speaking to the fact that Planned Parenthood cannot operate freely under its own name because the public knows about them and knows they’re not to be trusted,” he said.

There may be another reason the abortion giant hid its identity, according to Paula Westwood, executive director of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati — it’s near Western Hills High School.

“Students are bused from all over the city, and it is predominantly African-American,” she said. “The strategic move is to be near the very large high school.

“Black American women are about 6 percent of the population but receiving about 35 percent of the abortions.”

Westwood and her team of life advocates are working to halt construction. She said she’s received a lot of support from residents who are outraged by the deception.

In Aurora, Ill., Planned Parenthood bought property under the name “Gemini Office Development.” In Denver, the abortion provider’s building permit was filed under “Fuller 38.”

‘Marriage is not a legal vehicle for the purpose of equality; it’s a social institution with children at its heart.’

New York Gov. David Paterson has sided with gay activists by deciding to change up to 1,300 state policies and regulations to include same-sex couples who were “married” elsewhere.

Paterson’s directive to state agencies was issued May 14 and became public this week.

Same-sex “marriage” is illegal within New York state borders, but the Court of Appeals, the highest court in New York, decided this month to let stand a ruling that required the state to recognize same-sex “marriages” performed legally elsewhere. Paterson’s directive affirms the ruling.

In 2006, the same court ruled that only the union of a man and a woman is a legal marriage, and that the definition is constitutional.

Jenny Tyree, associate marriage analyst at Focus on the Family Action, said the court and Paterson are ignoring the 20 million New Yorkers who have defined traditional marriage via state statutes.

“Our children and grandchildren will pay a very high price if we allow marriage to be changed to suit another purpose entirely,” she said. “Marriage is not a legal vehicle for the purpose of equality; it’s a social institution with children at its heart.”

Paterson’s directive follows the recent 4-3 decision by the California Supreme Court to legalize same-sex “marriage.”

Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said these actions highlight the need for marriage protection at the federal level.

“A governor’s constitutional duty is to enforce the laws of his state, not make them,” he said. “The legal quagmire created by these authoritarian decrees reinforces the need for a federal marriage amendment to be added to the U.S. Constitution.”

TAKE ACTION
Please ask your U.S. representative to co-sponsor the Marriage Protection Amendment.

So what does Exxon and other oil hogging giants do with all their oil profits?

One avenue that helps their chances at minimizing operating costs and other related expenditures (to increase a relatively low profit margin 10.83%, to be fair…but why, 11% at $4/gallon?) is to contribute to people in congress who will vote in their favor to keep laws and restrictions from hindering their abilities to achieve these record breaking goals.

Well, now there’s a little tool made available to us by the people at the Center for Responsive Politics. It’s a game called “follow the oil money;” a game you and I can’t win.

To play, just click this link, enter your zip code and find out how much your congress people are getting from big oil profits.

In words that almost quote John Wayne…”It’s re-gosh-darned-diculous!”

I don’t want to point fingers but let’s point fingers.

First let’s look at the Speaker of the House.

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA08)

She accepted $36,800 from the oil and gas industry since 2000. She supported the industry in 22% of selected votes. From this she doesn’t look all that evil, but evil is as evil does, right?

• All contributions since 2000: $36,800
• 110th Congress (2007-2008): $9,200
• 109th Congress (2005-2006): $25,100
• 108th Congress (2003-2004): $0
• 107th Congress (2001-2002): $2,500
• 106th Congress (1999-2000): $0

Let’s use my former Governor turned Senator as another example, Senator Voinovich. This is what he has received since 2000.

Yeah, I’d be smiling too.

Senator George Voinovich (R-OH)

He accepted $176,117 from the oil and gas industry since 2000. He supported the industry in 100% of selected votes. 100%!!!

• All contributions since 2000: $176,117
• 110th Congress (2007-2008): $23,450
• 109th Congress (2005-2006): $12,200
• 108th Congress (2003-2004): $90,850
• 107th Congress (2001-2002): $34,150
• 106th Congress (1999-2000): $15,467

Do you think he’s feeling this petroleum crunch? Here are the specifics.

The total of the contributions in this table may be less than the overall total because some contributions have been hidden by the filtering options.

It’s just disgusting. I urge you to send this link to everyone you know. Let’s expose corruption for what it’s become…and that’s congress.

Obscenity crimes are not protected under the first amendment. Let’s bust this myth right now. When I read this article from Focus Family News I felt the need to give it even more exposure. This story won’t be on your local television news.

The Department of Justice tells folks to file their complaints about obscene internet material through ObscenityCrimes.org. Over 70,000 complaints have been logged this way.

The Department of Justice tells folks to file their complaints about obscene internet material through ObscenityCrimes.org. Over 70,000 complaints have been logged this way.

The DOJ points you to the Morality in Media website, ObscenityCrimes.org, if you want to tell the government about obscene internet porn. Consultants such as Roger Young, a retired FBI special agent, forwards those complaints to the DOJ.

“I have read various complaints from citizens about, ‘please do something about this.’ ‘This keeps coming to me at work.’ ‘My child was exposed at home trying to do a school project. Please do something about this.’”

Bob Peters with Morality in Media says even DOJ officials praise ObscenityCrimes.org.

“The problem is that going on six years that Morality in Media has been operating the ObscenityCrimes.org website project, to our knowledge, after more than 70,000 the justice department has not acted on a single complaint. That is just simply beyond comprehension.”

Tom Rodgers, a former Indianapolis Police Detective, says ignoring complaints and crimes is absolutely unacceptable.

“As a police officer, if I was sworn to uphold the law, and if I wasn’t doing my job, someone above me would get my attention quickly. And I would probably be fired.”

The Department of Justice refused to comment for this story.

Nothing gets my goat than justice not being served. It’s not even being acknowledged. Thanks to the Department of Un-Justice.

…one small unnoticeable piece at a time.

They’ve sickened and killed our pets, they’ve poisoned our children with lead based paints, they’ve illegally subsidized corporations to lower cost and undercut American manufacturers while devastating our economy. And now we are watching them drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

As congress hesitates to allow the U.S. to drill in its own coastal waters in the Gulf, the Chinese are taking advantage.

And people, they don’t care about consequences and they aren’t even equipped to handle an ecological disaster should there be a spill.

Reports have been made of the Chinese using tactics of slant drilling off the Cuban coast into the Florida Straits. They are tapping into U.S. oil reserves estimated between 5 to 10 billion barrels. This is like digging into the vault of a bank from a neighboring backyard.

This oil stash compares to the 4 to 10 billion barrels in An-war where tree huggers, more specifically caribou lovers, are holding a proverbial gun to congress’ head. Experts say drilling in An-war would not harm or endanger the caribou. Permission to drill failed by only two senatorial votes.

In Michael Reagan’s article titled, Put The Blame Where It Belongs he says,

We’re in the mess in which we find ourselves because of a small handful of people… three individuals two who are located in New York City. If you want to drill in Alaska or the Gulf of Mexico or in the continental U.S. — where billions of gallons of petroleum are just waiting to be tapped — or build refineries, these three people stand in your way; John Flicker of the National Audubon Society, Frances Beinecke of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Trip Van Noppen of the organization Earthjustice.

Reports have also stated that there is more oil in Alaska than there is in Saudi Arabia. But the caribou are endangered. This is wacky, people. We’ll slaughter millions of unborn babies because of convenience but won’t dare inconvenience the caribou to save our nations oil dependencies.

We need to wake up; stopping hitting the snooze button. And by all means, quit worrying about the latest “buzz” in Hollywood, or the hottest fashion trend. And being politically correct is disabling our abilities to discern right from wrong.

Bottom line: Buy American on every level. We’re supporting foreign government subsidized companies that don’t give a damn about the war on terror. Don’t buy another piece of Chinese made junk with their name on it. Send a message to these corporate greed-driven CEO’s.

Read Michael Reagan’s full article for contact information to those three knuckleheads and let them know how you feel. Keep on eye on what your congress representatives are voting on by going to http://www.govtrack.us/.

And support your local farmers markets. We’re paying higher produce prices because a lot of what you put in your belly comes from Mexico. This puts a strain on demand for fuel, driving costs even higher.

And pray for our authorities. You may not like them but they are there and part of a bigger picture we cannot see. Romans 13:1 says, Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

I admit to being surprised at the reports of Sam’s Club and other retailers limiting bulk sales of rice. Panic-buyers, breathlessly reported by mass media, generating concern among the public of possible food shortages, and skyrocketing prices of basic food staples. Is this the next crisis we must face in these bizarre times, or is this just another sign of the times?

In fact, WSJ’s Brett Arends opined the other day that “maybe it’s time for Americans to start stockpiling food.”

Maybe it is.

9/11, Katrina, H5N1 preparation, …. If these events didn’t get America’s attention, then maybe a potential problem with food supplies will do the job.

We have been buying a few extra cans all along, trying to get to the point that we can go for ninety days — like FEMA has recommended to our hospitals — but 90 days of self-sufficiency is a tall order. That’s a lot of cans.

Kind of like filling the Strategic Petroleum reserve. If it’s there when you need it, it really doesn’t matter what you paid for it.
