Jury Rights Day September 5, 2008
Jury Rights Day September 5, 2008
HELENA, Montana, Sept. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fully Informed Jury Association and Christian Citizens against Corruption.
Friday marks the 338th anniversary of when jurors refused to convict William Penn of violating England's Conventicle Acts, despite clear evidence that he acted illegally by preaching a Quaker sermon. In refusing to convict Penn, the jurors ignored what they knew to be an unjust law. This is known as jury nullification.
By refusing to enforce what they knew was an unjust law, the Penn jurors served justice, and provided a basis for our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, religion, and peaceable assembly. For refusing to find Penn guilty, the judge sent four of Penn's jurors to prison. Their exoneration fixed forever the English and American doctrine that jurors have the responsibility to decide both matters of law and fact in any case before them. Individual jurors are the last line of defense for people who are prosecuted under bad laws by overzealous prosecutors and court officials.
The Founders intended that jurors would use their rights and responsibilities to judge the law and the facts in every trial, and do justice. The Sixth an d Seventh Amendments were included in the Bill of Rights to guarantee that every person brought to trial has Juror Protection.
Juror nullification is integral to our judicial system. It is one of the "checks and balances" of justice required by a free society. An individual juror has the authority to stop an unjust prosecution by refusing to convict. No reason for the verdict is required. Most Grand and Petit Jurors do not know about their authority. Knowledge of this authority must be restored to protect us.
Our Founders embraced juror nullification as necessary to a free society. Nullification is the test that all laws must pass. Juror nullification has been used by jurors throughout our history to "nullify" unpopular and unjust laws, including laws against witches, publishing the truth, free speech, religion, hiding slaves, and Prohibition.
The Fully Informed Jury Association is dedicated to educating all Americans about the authority of the Juror. FIJA publishes and distributes educational material but depends upon grassroots activists to inform jurors of their rights and to under take state- level lobbying or ballot-issue efforts.

Faith Time Inc., a media buying agency dedicated to promoting the religious sector, will begin airing religious and humanitarian shows on Viacom owned channel CMT.

With such an extended reach, CMT will be available to the vast majority of the US population.
"CMT negotiated an impressive deal with Faith Time.

"At half the price of comparable networks, Country Music Television's Faith Time block will quickly become an anchor for the early morning line up. Few networks can claim 88 million households. Faith Time is pleased to have been selected to exclusively represent the Christian religious airtime on CMT."

Story of 20th Century Icon Billy Graham Comes to the Big Screen in 'Billy: The Early Years', Releasing Nationwide October 10, 2008
Story of 20th Century Icon Billy Graham Comes to the Big Screen in 'Billy: The Early Years', Releasing Nationwide October 10, 2008
Coinciding with the 90th birthday of Billy Graham, new film captures the heart of the beloved man
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The coming-of-age story of 20th century icon Billy Graham will be seen on the big screen this fall through the release of the film Billy: The Early Years. This highly anticipated film will be released theatrically on October 10, 2008 across the country.
Billy: The Early Years captures the true essence of Graham's life's journey from an earnest young man at the crossroads of faith and doubt, to ultimately facing the moment of decision that launched one of history's most influential evangelists. Starting out with the tranquility of the Graham dairy farm in North Carolina, Billy: The Early Years depicts the look and feel of the Depression-era as we accompany Graham to the tent revival where he finally heeds the altar call, and follows him through the struggle of doubt and resolution of the next decade of his life.
The film paints a vivid portrait of Graham against the backdrop of his relationship with the evangelical star of the 1940's, Charles Templeton, a gifted young preacher whose faith would not withstand the onslaught of scientific skepticism. Templeton and Graham eventually part ways, and in the film, Templeton comes to personify the rising tide of disbelief into which Graham launched his crusades. The movie's power lies in it's honest portrayal of Graham's struggle with the ideas represented in Templeton's eventual unbelief and shows how Graham's faith, so compellingly represented in the film, goes on to change the face of modern evangelism in the second half of the 20th Century.
Graham is portrayed in the film by rising young star, Armie Hammer (Veronica Mars, Flicka), who was announced as the upcoming Batman/Bruce Wayne in the new film, Justice League: Mortal. Hammer plays an incredibly authentic and poignant Graham, and takes the viewer deep into the heart of this iconic world- renowned yet humble figure.
Directed by veteran Actor/Director and Golden Globe nominee, Robby Benson (the voice of the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Ode To Billy Joe, Ice Castles, The Greatest Story Ever Told), the Billy: The Early Years' cast includes well- known Hollywood talent including Oscar-winner Martin Landau (Mission: Impossible, Ed Wood) and Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman); as well as Stefanie Butler (CSI: NY), daughter of ex-Atlanta Brave Brett Butler; Kristoffer Polaha (North Shore) and platinum selling country sensation Josh Turner ("Long Black Train") as singer George Beverly Shea. John Carter Cash, son of John and June Carter Cash, serves as music producer.
Together with Rocky Mountain Pictures, In Service America, Interlinc and other additional marketing partners, the Billy: The Early Years marketing plan will seek to create significant grassroots traction while radio, television and newspaper advertising and promotions will work in conjunction with additional aspects of the campaign. The film launch will also encompass a number of strategic marketing elements, including more than 50 VIP screenings in key markets, a soundtrack highlighting Christian and country music artists, key events built around Graham's 90th birthday, a novel of the work published by Thomas Nelson Publishers and an upcoming home entertainment DVD release.
Nashville based Landis Entertainment & Media Partners, run by Barry Landis, will spearhead all marketing aspects of the film, in association with the distributor Solex/MATP. Landis, a long time entertainment marketer of faith-based properties for major, high level entertainment and corporate conglomerates such as Wrigley's and AT&T was also the head of companies such as Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. and KOCH Records Christian divisions, has made a solid mark on the entertainment world through his visionary accomplishments and multiple career achievements.
Producers Larry Mortorff and Martin Shiel commented, "We are extremely excited to be surrounded with such an amazing team and have tremendous confidence in their ability to market this distinguished and touching new film." Producer Bill McKay said, "Barry Landis is a blend of an entertainment strategist as well as a great wrangler and distiller of the group's ideas."
Filmed in and around Nashville, Tennessee with a 90% Tennessee crew, Billy: The Early Years made perfect use of the new incentive plan from the state of Tennessee that grants up to a 32% cash rebate. "This particular film is definitely in Tennessee's 'sweet spot',” said Perry Gibson, executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment and Music Commission.

Coinciding with the 90th birthday of Billy Graham, new film captures the heart of the beloved man
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The coming-of-age story of 20th century icon Billy Graham will be seen on the big screen this fall through the release of the film Billy: The Early Years. This highly anticipated film will be released theatrically on October 10, 2008 across the country.
Billy: The Early Years captures the true essence of Graham's life's journey from an earnest young man at the crossroads of faith and doubt, to ultimately facing the moment of decision that launched one of history's most influential evangelists. Starting out with the tranquility of the Graham dairy farm in North Carolina, Billy: The Early Years depicts the look and feel of the Depression-era as we accompany Graham to the tent revival where he finally heeds the altar call, and follows him through the struggle of doubt and resolution of the next decade of his life.
The film paints a vivid portrait of Graham against the backdrop of his relationship with the evangelical star of the 1940's, Charles Templeton, a gifted young preacher whose faith would not withstand the onslaught of scientific skepticism. Templeton and Graham eventually part ways, and in the film, Templeton comes to personify the rising tide of disbelief into which Graham launched his crusades. The movie's power lies in it's honest portrayal of Graham's struggle with the ideas represented in Templeton's eventual unbelief and shows how Graham's faith, so compellingly represented in the film, goes on to change the face of modern evangelism in the second half of the 20th Century.
Graham is portrayed in the film by rising young star, Armie Hammer (Veronica Mars, Flicka), who was announced as the upcoming Batman/Bruce Wayne in the new film, Justice League: Mortal. Hammer plays an incredibly authentic and poignant Graham, and takes the viewer deep into the heart of this iconic world- renowned yet humble figure.
Directed by veteran Actor/Director and Golden Globe nominee, Robby Benson (the voice of the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Ode To Billy Joe, Ice Castles, The Greatest Story Ever Told), the Billy: The Early Years' cast includes well- known Hollywood talent including Oscar-winner Martin Landau (Mission: Impossible, Ed Wood) and Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman); as well as Stefanie Butler (CSI: NY), daughter of ex-Atlanta Brave Brett Butler; Kristoffer Polaha (North Shore) and platinum selling country sensation Josh Turner ("Long Black Train") as singer George Beverly Shea. John Carter Cash, son of John and June Carter Cash, serves as music producer.
Together with Rocky Mountain Pictures, In Service America, Interlinc and other additional marketing partners, the Billy: The Early Years marketing plan will seek to create significant grassroots traction while radio, television and newspaper advertising and promotions will work in conjunction with additional aspects of the campaign. The film launch will also encompass a number of strategic marketing elements, including more than 50 VIP screenings in key markets, a soundtrack highlighting Christian and country music artists, key events built around Graham's 90th birthday, a novel of the work published by Thomas Nelson Publishers and an upcoming home entertainment DVD release.
Nashville based Landis Entertainment & Media Partners, run by Barry Landis, will spearhead all marketing aspects of the film, in association with the distributor Solex/MATP. Landis, a long time entertainment marketer of faith-based properties for major, high level entertainment and corporate conglomerates such as Wrigley's and AT&T was also the head of companies such as Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. and KOCH Records Christian divisions, has made a solid mark on the entertainment world through his visionary accomplishments and multiple career achievements.
Producers Larry Mortorff and Martin Shiel commented, "We are extremely excited to be surrounded with such an amazing team and have tremendous confidence in their ability to market this distinguished and touching new film." Producer Bill McKay said, "Barry Landis is a blend of an entertainment strategist as well as a great wrangler and distiller of the group's ideas."
Filmed in and around Nashville, Tennessee with a 90% Tennessee crew, Billy: The Early Years made perfect use of the new incentive plan from the state of Tennessee that grants up to a 32% cash rebate. "This particular film is definitely in Tennessee's 'sweet spot',” said Perry Gibson, executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment and Music Commission. "We love the subject matter and were bowled over at how the producers put together such a talented Tennessee cast and crew, as well as garnered some the top names in the Nashville music industry. We'd welcome them back anytime, they were really terrific."

1 Million Will Attend the Church of Oprah Monday, March 10, 2008
1 Million Will Attend the Church of Oprah Monday, March 10, 2008
SEATTLE, March 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christians are being deceived! We must pray and stop allowing this in their homes! Christian women are tuning in...hey, it's not like it's Marilyn Manson...or is it?
A new book, Don't Drink The Kool-Aid: Oprah, Obama and The Occult, just released March 3, 2008 exposes a plan by the "most powerful woman in the world," in her very own words to transform the WORLD! Oprah.com gives a daily lesson from A Course In Miracles and from their own description they tell us that it is...mind-training!
On The Oprah Winfrey Show, February 28, 2008, Oprah said, "I really do believe I was born to be a vehicle for this information to come to all of you. If you want to be a part of it, if you want to find out who you really are, join the largest interactive classroom in the world. It's free, because I want to begin to transform the world one reader at a time."
WHAT IS THE CURRICULUM? Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, which says:
"A glimpse is enough to initiate the awakening process, which is irreversible."
"The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light."
"Sin is a word that has been greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted. To sin means to miss the mark, so to sin means to miss the point of human existence."
"The man on the cross is an archetypal image. He is every man and every woman."
This book will show you that what we have here is deeper than the first glance. This is part of a long, calculated plan. Not necessarily on the part of the key players, but orchestrated by one who has been around since the fall of man. What you have here is evil doctrine, persuasive and subliminal techniques, sudden rises in power and even the latter day peace alliance, formed by one of the New Age gurus profiled in this book. The pieces of the puzzle are coming together. As a former viewer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Carrington sends an open letter to Oprah asking her to return to the original teachings she embraced.
For detailed information, video clips and to purchase Don't Drink The Kool-Aid, visit www.csteeleonline.com. Carrington Steele, a former magazine editor, embarked on this journey to bring true enlightenment to the world for her Lord Jesus Christ.

Viele rechtsextremistische Straftaten im Jahr 2008
Viele rechtsextremistische Straftaten im Jahr 2008
Berlin. (red). 16. März 2008. Petra Pau, Mitglied im Vorstand der Fraktion DIE LINKE und im Innenausschuss, erklärte:
"Auf meine monatliche Standardfrage hat das Bundesministerium des Inneren geantwortet. Demnach wurden im Januar 2008 bundesweit 932 rechtsextreme Straftaten registriert, darunter 54 Gewalttaten.
Die Zahlen sind nicht nur vorläufig, sie sind auch unvollständig. So haben die Bundesländer Berlin und Bremen jeweils Null Straf- und Null Gewalttaten ausgewiesen, obwohl rechtsextreme Vorfälle publik wurden.

Putz´ Deine Stadt raus 2008 - die 5. Mannheimer Reinigungswoche
Putz´ Deine Stadt raus 2008 - die 5. Mannheimer Reinigungswoche
Mannheim. (red). 13. März 2008. Auch wenn die "Mannemer Putzwoch" - wie die im April zum fünften Mal stattfindende Reinigungswoche im Volksmund heißt - mittlerweile fast schon zur Routine geworden ist, bleibt der organisatorische Aufwand eine Mammutaufgabe für die Organisatoren bei der Stadt. Bei der Vorbereitung, die schon im Sommer des Vorjahres beginnt, arbeiten Mitarbeiter verschiedenster städtischer Dienststellen eng zusammen. Jürgen Grieb vom Fachbereich Straßenbetrieb und Grünflächen leitet das Organisationsteam, dem außerdem Mitarbeiter der Abfallwirtschaft Mannheim, des Dezernates für Sicherheit und Ordnung, der Bürgerdienste, des Fachbereiches Kinder, Jugend und Familie, des Fachbereiches Bildung und dem Großmarkt/CityEvents angehören.
Schulen, Kindertagesstätten, Vereine, politische Gremien, Firmen und Betriebe werden angeschrieben, Flyer und Plakate gedruckt und verteilt, Abläufe und Bestellmengen geplant, Sponsoren und Unterstützer geworben, Putzpakete gepackt und das Rahmenprogramm für die große Abschlussveranstaltung auf den Kapuzinerplanken am 19. April auf die Beine gestellt.
Schon im Herbst melden sich die ersten Putzer. Im Frühjahr dann, wenn die Briefe an die Vorjahresteilnehmer verschickt und die Flyer verteilt sind, gehen immer mehr Anmeldungen bei den Hotlines ein. Mittlerweile liegen knapp 6.000 Anmeldungen vor. Weitere werden erwartet und immer noch gerne unter der Rufnummer 0621 293 - 40 03 oder von den Bürgerdiensten entgegen genommen.
Bernd Schölles von der Abfallwirtschaft Mannheim koordiniert die betrieblichen Abläufe vor und während der Reinigungswoche. Er sorgt dafür, dass eine ausreichende Anzahl an Sammelsäcken, Greifzangen und Handschuhen vorhanden ist und richtet das Material für alle angemeldeten Putzer. Während der Aktionswoche leitet er ein Team aus Kollegen der Müllabfuhr, der Stadtreinigung und der Grünflächenunterhaltung, das den eingesammelten Abfall und die gefüllten orangefarbenen Säcke an den vereinbarten Stellen abholt und der Entsorgung zuführt.
Bei der letzten Reinigungswoche 2007 konnten knapp 1.600 Säcke mit Unrat entsorgt werden, die von den 9.200 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern, darunter 72 Vereine, 42 Schulen, 35 Kindertagesstätten und 7 Jugendhäuser, eingesammelt wurden. Gut 18 Tonnen Abfall und Sperrmüll, sowie 22 Kubikmeter Schrott kamen dabei zusammen.
Gemeinsam gefeiert wird am 19. April ab 13 Uhr auf den Kapuzinerplanken. Mit dieser Veranstaltung bedankt sich der Oberbürgermeister Dr. Peter Kurz bei allen aktiven Putzerinnen und Putzern für deren Engagement für eine saubere Stadt.
Bei musikalischer Unterhaltung durch die Böse-Band, der "Haus-Band" der Abfallwirtschaft, und einer Leistungsschau der Stadtreinigung erhalten die aktiven Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer einen kostenlosen Imbiss und ein Gratisgetränk. Darüber hinaus werden ab 15 Uhr die Sieger des Wettbewerbs um die aktivsten Sammlergruppen der Kategorien Kindertagesstätten, Schulen, Jugendhaus, Vereine und Stadtteil prämiert. Hier winken Preisgelder zwischen 200 und 500 Euro.
Weiterhin erhalten alle anwesenden Putzerinnen und Putzer die Gelegenheit, eines von 100 Putz-Paketen zu gewinnen, die neben Putzutensilien auch viele attraktive Gutscheine enthalten.
Unter www.mannheim.de/rausputzen2008 oder unter der Rufnummer 0621 293 - 40 03 können sich Interessierte für die Teilnahme an der 5. Mannheimer Reinigungswoche "Putz´ Deine Stadt raus 2008" anmelden.
