“Every hand you shake,
Every cent you take,
Every vow you break,
Every vote you make,
We’ll be watching you!

Every single day,
Every word you say,
Every game you play,
Every time you stray,
We’ll be watching you!

Oh, can’t you see,
You represent me?
How my wallet aches,
With every vote you make!

Every hand you shake,
Every cent you take,
Every vow you break,
Every vote you make,
We’ll be watching you!

I recall what you said during the race,
The policies you promised to embrace,
Now, it seems like you’re all over the place!
Did your values disappear without a trace?
We keep waiting, watching, hoping, please!”

“House Passes Resolution Banning D.C. ‘Anti-Religious Freedom’ Law, But Senate Fails to Act
Kelsey Harkness / @kelseyjharkness / May 01, 2015

In a historic move, the House voted late last night in favor of striking down a Washington, D.C., anti-discrimination law that opponents say infringes on the ability of organizations to operate in accordance to their religious beliefs (I posted about the House vote on this blog on May 1, 2015—my addition).

The Senate, however, is choosing not to move forward with its own vote, essentially blocking any chance of overruling what many Republicans consider ‘anti-religious freedom’ legislation in the nation’s capitol (Why did the Senate Republican leadership decide not to do this? This is a Republican Party platform issue!—my addition).

Some believe the Senate decided not to hold a vote in wake of the firestorm that occurred after Indiana passed a law in favor of protecting religious liberty (If so, the Republican leadership is a bunch of spineless cowards! Wait! We know this to be true!—my addition).

‘Standing up for liberty should be a minimum requirement for elected officials (One would think!—my addition),’ said Dan Holler, communications director for Heritage Action, which is the advocacy arm of The Heritage Foundation. Heritage Action supports striking down the law (As it should! It is a terrible law!—my addition).

‘Not only that, the political implication of further alienating the pro-life movement is likely to be substantial (Not likely! It is! The McConnell “leadership” team seems not to care. And yet, Republicans win because of our support!—my addition),’ Holler said.

The controversy surrounds a law called the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Act, which ensures that ‘individuals are protected from discrimination by an employer, employment agency, or labor organization, based on an individual’s or dependent’s reproductive health decisions (Reproductive health is the Left’s code phrase for abortion/MURDER! Thus, it is discrimination for a pro-life organization to refuse to hire someone who supports and promotes abortion/MURDER or has had an abortion/MURDER! It is a totally absurd law! We have already seen how such “discrimination” laws have been used in Leftist States to destroy and control people with Christian faith in relation to homosexual behavior! This is the next step to do the same in relation to being pro-life! There is NO question about it! The capitulation “leadership” in the Senate would not even allow it to come to a vote! And both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul supported Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign early on against a Tea Party candidate! I don’t know how ANY pro-life person can support either one of them for President!—my addition).’

Congress used a rare measure called a ‘resolution of disapproval’ in attempt to kill the law, which, with the support of both houses and the president, would overrule the legislation passed by the D.C. City Council (There is a major problem with this whole law and concept! It violates the Constitution of the United States!—my addition).

[Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution:

“The Congress shall have Power …

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;—And”

“EXCLUSIVE Legislation in all Cases whatsoever….” It is Congress that has exclusive control of Washington D.C. Nowhere in the Constitution does Congress have the authority to delegate that power to another body or anyone else! To do so is to amend the Constitution unconstitutionally! Therefore, Washington D.C. has no constitutional authority to pass any such legislation! NONE!—my addition]

The political tactic hasn’t been used in over two decades, and local lawmakers such as Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., view the effort as a violation of ‘the local democratic rights of 650,000 District residents (They have no such right! She ought to read the Constitution! Congress ought to read the Constitution!—my addition).’

Congress reserved the power to do so under the Home Rule Act of 1973, which secured lawmakers the authority to review all legislation passed by the District of Columbia and overrule it with a resolution of disapproval (Did it backwards! Congress determines law in D.C. according to the Constitution and Congress can not give that power away! The original Home Rule Act is clearly unconstitutional! Notice the Act was passed the same year that the Supreme Court sanctioned abortion/MURDER!—my addition).

Norton, speaking on the House floor Thursday afternoon, accused Republicans of furthering the ‘war on women,’ in fighting the legislation (The same old Leftist nonsense! Democrats are waging the War on Women not Republicans! How many women are MURDERED every year through abortion/MURDER?—my addition).

‘The goal here is to resume the war on women,” she said. ‘The predicate for getting to the nation’s women is the D.C. Home Rule Act. It goes after self-government (Self-government for Washington D.C. is a myth!—my addition) and women at the same time.’

The resolution of disapproval passed the House on Thursday largely along party lines, with 13 Republicans voting against it.

[The vote in the House is here:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll194.xml —my addition]

On March 18, Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas and James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, introduced an identical version to overturn the legislation in the Senate, but leadership failed to schedule a vote before the 30-day deadline Congress had to act (Republican “leadership!”—my addition).

In a press release this morning, Cruz not only criticized Congress for ‘running the clock to the eleventh hour’ in regards to the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination act, but D.C.’s Human Rights Amendment Act as well.

The Human Rights Amendment Act seeks to prohibit religious-affiliated schools from discriminating against gay and lesbian student groups.

Conservatives, like Cruz, argue this policy would infringe on the ability of private schools to operate according to their religious beliefs (Of course it would!—my addition).

‘The District of Columbia’s [Human Rights Amendment Act] would allow fines or penalties against religious schools that sincerely believe it violates the tenets of their faith to support homosexual activities on campus,’ Cruz said.

‘If the [Human Rights Amendment Act] is not repealed, then a group of students could sue to force a private religious school to provide official recognition, facilities, and financial support for homosexual student activities on campus against the school’s sincerely held religious beliefs.’

Representative Vicky Hartzler, R-Missouri, led the effort against the Human Rights Amendment Act in the House, but the Oversight and Government Reform Committee never brought that resolution to a committee vote.

The D.C. City Council is now predicting both laws will go into effect Saturday, May 2 (And they unconstitutionally did!—my addition).”

There is NO question about it! The capitulation “leadership” in the Senate would not even allow it to come to a vote! And both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul supported Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign early on against a Tea Party candidate! I don’t know how ANY pro-life person can support either one of them for President!

Planned MURDERHOOD is the undisputed leader in MURDERING boys and girls in the United States—the American holocaust!

Every abortion is MURDER! Everyone!

The abortion/MURDER method used after 13 weeks to MURDER a baby in the womb:

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

From: http://www.prolife.com/ABORMETH.html

“Dilation and Extraction (D and E): Used after 13 weeks - The cervix is dialated and the unborn child is dismembered with plier-like forceps. Force is needed to pull the baby apart. The instrument is used to seize a leg or other part of the body and then, with a twisting motion, tear it from the baby’s body. The baby’s spine is snapped and the skull crushed. After the baby parts are removed, they are reassembled outside the womb to be sure all are removed. Frequently baby parts are left inside the mother’s womb. This can cause serious complications and sometimes death.”

After 13 weeks: The baby’s limbs are pulled from his/her body! His/her spine is snapped! His/her skull is crushed! And the Left complained about waterboarding prisoners of war? Are you serious!

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

Abortion is government sanctioned torture and MURDER!

Life begins at Conception!

Personhood begins with Life!

Having an abortion MURDERS a person!

STOP abortion/MURDER NOW!

Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

Victory through JESUS the Christ is complete! The question is how many will join the FAMILY of GOD and how many will be lost?

Let’s make 2015 a benchmark year in protecting all human life from conception to natural death. It can be done. It will not be done if we do not try, pray, work, and put our faith and trust in GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT and THEIR power!

www.grtl.org

Planned MURDERHOOD is the most prolific MURDER organization in our nation’s history! Without question! And the federal government gives it money! And the federal government gives money to worldwide organizations that MURDER unborn babies! Why are we funding MURDER?

2 Corinthians 5: 10 (NIV)

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

Romans 8: 28 (NIV)

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
