Christians Under Fire
Open Doors USA President Carl Moeller Available to Speak About International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church Nov. 9
SANTA ANA, Calif., October 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Open Doors, an international Christian ministry which supports and strengthens persecuted believers, is calling on Christians to pray for over 100 million suffering Christians during the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) on Sunday, Nov. 9.
During that day churches in the United States, as well as churches around the world, will focus on prayer and support for our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. IDOP is one of the largest prayer events in the world and has heightened awareness of persecuted Christians since its inception in 1996.
"The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church presents a tremendous opportunity for millions of people to make a difference in the lives of those being persecuted for their faith in countries like North Korea, Iran, Iraq, China, India and many more," says Open Doors USA President/CEO Carl Moeller. "Persecuted believers have asked us who live in freedom to pray for them - always their number one request. And on Nov. 9 we have the opportunity to collectively lift our petitions to the Lord on their behalf."
Pray for believers in such restrictive countries as:
North Korea - Earlier this month the United States removed North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. The 2008 Open Doors World Watch List ranked North Korea as the top violator of religious rights for the sixth year in a row. The U.N. investigator on human rights Vitit Muntarbhorn said last week North Korea is using public executions to intimidate its citizens and has imposed restrictions on long distance calls to block the spread of news about rising food shortages in the reclusive nation. Many Christians have been beaten, tortured or killed because of their religious beliefs and thousands are in political prisons.
Iran - Without international pressure there is little to stop the Iranian government from ratifying a bill that will make "apostasy," or leaving Islam, a capital crime, say human rights groups and experts. On Sept. 9 the Iranian parliament approved a new penal code by a vote of 196-7 calling for a mandatory death sentence, according to Compass Direct News. The Christian and Baha'i communities of Iran are most likely to be affected by this decision. Islam is the official religion in Iran, ranked No. 3 on the Open Doors World Watch List.
Iraq - "At this time 10,000 Christians have left Mosul because of the escalating terrorism specifically targeting Christians," says Olaf, Iraq country coordinator for Open Doors. A local contact of Open Doors says that the number of families fleeing Mosul has reached 2,000 in the past week. Olaf adds: "Our Iraqi colleague, let's call him Yassr for security reasons, says that terrorists dressed like policemen asked a Christian for his identification card. When the ID showed he was a Christian, he was shot right on the spot." At least 15 Christians have been killed in Mosul since the first of the month.
India - Violence against the Christian community in Orissa has claimed the lives of at least 60 people in the last two months. More than 18,000 have been injured while around 4,500 houses and churches have been destroyed. The violence, which has spread to at least 14 districts of Orissa, has left more than 50,000 people homeless.

New Website Targets Undecided Pro-Lifers with Facts, Emotion, Spiritual Adoption
New Website Targets Undecided Pro-Lifers with Facts, Emotion, Spiritual Adoption
Movement offers opportunity to name, adopt and commit to vote on behalf of aborted babies
ATLANTA, October 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- The "Undecided Voter" is typically used to describe a person who may still cast a vote either way in an upcoming election. Such a voter is usually targeted in the weeks before the election, since they can play the definitive role in determining the outcome.
For Janice Givens, a mom and homemaker in Atlanta's northern suburb of Alpharetta, the lack of commitment to voting pro-life by those she always considered fellow pro- lifers was stunning. "As we got closer to Election Day, I found many pro-lifers - people I had known for years - were conflicted or misinformed on where the candidates stood on abortion, and therefore were still undecided or not voting to protect the unborn. I found people who I always considered pro- life wavering on the life issues because of current events and basic ignorance on what could happen if we lost this election," says Givens. "Last week, I gathered some friends together who I knew shared my discouragement and shock; we prayed for wisdom and were inspired to do something in the names of the nearly 49 million lives lost to abortion."
In less than a week, the ambitious group of six launched a movement to turn things around. Lisa Fiamingo, one of the co-founders of One Baby One Vote, states the facts, "Forty nine million babies have been aborted in the last 35 years. Twenty five million would have been old enough to vote on November 4. This movement is for them. If we can cast one vote for each of their lives, we can turn this election around."
The website, www.OneBa byOneVote.com, is the center of the grassroots effort. Pushing a very simple, yet powerful mission, the movement's potential to have a significant impact on this election is clearly possible through the hands of committed pro-lifers. There are three steps:
1. Adopt - Spiritually adopt a baby lost to abortion. Name the baby and cast your vote on their behalf.
2. Pray - Join the companion prayer effort - Operation Consecration - a nationwide simultaneous prayer to take place on November 2nd at 3pm EST. Prayer gatherings can happen in homes, churches, open fields or community-wide events in all 50 states.
3. Inform – Through the power of word-of-mouth, share the website and resources such as the Top Ten Questions on Abortion for Undecided Voters.
For many, the most powerful aspect of the movement will be the spiritual adoption. Says Fiamingo, "When the site launched last Friday, and I adopted and named my baby Claire; it was incredibly powerful. I actually wasn't prepared for the effect the simple act of naming one of these babies would have on me. I can't imagine what it will feel like to enter the voting booth on Election Day and cast my vote in Claire's name."
In addition to the spiritual adoption and commitment to vote, the movement includes a companion prayer effort which the six friends have named, Operation Consecration. The word consecrate is a verb which means "to make or declare sacred", and the mission of Operation Consecration is to consecrate every state to God before Election Day and reclaim the nation for the values on which it was founded. People in all 50 states are asked to gather two or more together at 3:00pmET on November 2 (the traditional day of prayer on the Catholic liturgical calendar for the souls of the deceased) and say a prayer of consecration. The website recommends the consecration prayers from 2 Chronicles 7:14-16:
"If my people, humble themselves and pray, and seek my presence and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and revive their land. Now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place. And now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever; my eyes and my heart also shall be there always."
The group is asking existing pro-life and faith communities to add Operation Consecration to their scheduled activities in the days before the election. A one-page planning sheet is available in the website. To download the resources, adopt your baby, or just learn more about the movement, visit www.onebabyonevote.com or email Info@onebabyonevote.com.

Many Individuals with Eating Disorders not Getting Help They Need As Economy Suffers, So Do Many with Eating Disorders
Many Individuals with Eating Disorders not Getting Help They Need
As Economy Suffers, So Do Many with Eating Disorders
PHOENIX, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- As the current economy crisis deepens, many individuals with eating disorders are worried about treatment and not seeking the help they desperately require.
"The danger of not seeking help for an eating disorder can be very serious because they can cause many medical complications, even death," said David Wall, PhD, director of psychological services at Remuda Ranch Programs for Eating and Anxiety Disorders ( http://www.remudaranch.com). "Eating disorders often take a turn for the worse due to increased personal and family stress. As eating disorders intensify, they become more difficult to treat."
It's clearly understandable that individuals and their families are reluctant to seek treatment in times like these, but the delay in treatment often makes things worse as the eating disorder may slip into a more severe state.
Stress typically doesn't cause an eating disorder, but stress makes the disorder much worse. Often people with eating disorders use their disorder as their primary means of coping with stress. The stress causes the eating disorder to intensify and as the eating disorder intensifies, it creates more stress for the individual, in something of a vicious cycle where the person's health can spiral rapidly downward.
The family, often the primary system of support for the eating disorder patient, is also experiencing the stress and uncertainty of the current economy and becomes less capable of providing support as their emotional energy and resources are already stretched. This can further worsen the eating disorders, since individuals with eating disorders are often very sensitive to stress in the family and blame themselves for problems that are occurring.
"An eating disorder is often a way for the individual to avoid other problems in his or her life," adds Wall. "The focus on their body and food becomes so intense it helps block other problems. In addition, the eating disorder is often a way of maintaining control, when things are out of control."
Remuda recommends that individuals with eating disorders should not give up. Often people assume they cannot afford treatment so they don't even try to get the help they need. Various levels of providers, whether they are inpatient, outpatient or day treatment, may be even more willing to work with patients during the crisis. It's worth the effort to call several healthcare providers, including Remuda Ranch, seeking some arrangement that can be managed.
"I have seen some churches or a group of friends and family provide funds for treatment," adds Wall. "Don't be embarrassed to seek help. There are many resources out there like self help groups and community health centers."

Victory - 11th Circuit Court Rules to Allow Prayers 'in Jesus Name.' Virginia
Victory - 11th Circuit Court Rules to Allow Prayers 'in Jesus Name.' Virginia
Governor Unrepentant, State-Wide Prayer Rally Saturday Honoring Six Police Chaplains (Press Conference Friday)
RICHMOND, Virginia, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, the event organizer for the November 1st State-Wide Prayer Rally outside the Virginia Governor's mansion, is celebrating a new court ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which allows legislative Chaplains to pray publicly "in Jesus name," even in government forums.
The 11th circuit court authorized "sectarian" prayers at government hosted events, ruling in Pelphrey v. Cobb County, "We refuse to embark on a sensitive evaluation or to parse the content of a particular prayer...Whether invocations...are 'sectarian' is best left to theologians, not courts of law." This new ruling directly contradicts the 4th circuit court ruling in Turner v. Fredericksburg, which had banned the word "Jesus" as illegal speech.
"This ruling proves Virginia Governor Tim Kaine wrongly prohibits his state police chaplains from praying publicly 'in Jesus name,'" said Chaplain Klingenschmitt, "and his administration was wrong to force six chaplains to resign for the crime of praying 'sectarian' prayers in public. The Governor violated the chaplains' constitutional rights."
Since Governor Kaine rejected a request by 86 Virginia Pastors to reinstate the six heroic trooper chaplains who took a stand for Christ, many churches and pastors will join together at a prayer-rally this Saturday outside the Governor's mansion. The "Virginia, Stand Up For Jesus!" prayer rally is open to the public, on Saturday from 10-11am (arrive 9:30) at the Capitol Square Bell Tower (900 Bank Street), Richmond.
All reporters and media are invited to cover the big crowds expected at the Saturday rally. Event speakers include Mat Staver, Rick Scarborough, Gerald Glenn, Darryl Husband, Bill Carrico, Victor Torres, Jeff Ginn, Council Nedd, and several state- trooper chaplains.
A PRE-RALLY PRESS CONFERENCE will also be held FRIDAY, 31 Oct, at 10am, at the same outdoor location, one full day before the prayer rally, where several pastors will be available to media who desire private, early "scoop" access to the event leadership.
Chaplain Klingenschmitt is available now for interviews at 719-360-5132 cell or email chaplaingate@yahoo.com. All citizens are encouraged to attend, and SIGN THE PETITION to reinstate the six police chaplains, at www.PrayInJesusName.org.

Popular New Pro-Life Movie Sweeps Past McCain and Obama on GodTube
Popular New Pro-Life Movie Sweeps Past McCain and Obama on GodTube
MEDIA ADVISORY, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Visitors to GodTube's new social-networking area are flocking to see the award- winning movie "Come What May" overwhelmingly more than McCain and Obama's group pages.
Launched just 3-days ago, Monday, October 27, the Group page for "Come What May" has attracted nearly 14,000 visitors compared to McCain's (2,166 visitors) and Obama's (2,150) Group pages, which launched 26-days ago.
The movie, made by 40 home schooled filmmakers, some as young as 11 years old, dramatizes the case for overturning Roe vs. Wade at the U.S. Supreme Court. The unconventional story and its growing audience have drawn the ire of abortion proponents and quick praise from pro-life leaders.
"How compelling is it when we see our youth take on such a strong subject as Roe Vs. Wade directly with a film like 'Come What May,'" extols Kurt Ramspott, founder Guys For Life. "Surely, as generation after generation of young Christian warriors lead their families in righteousness, Roe Vs. Wade will see it's day and abortion will no longer be one of America's greatest blights. Amen."
Valley Family Forum director, Dean Welty, believes the movie could impact the November elections. "If this little movie gets widely known, and it could breakout because it's very controversial, then watch out," Welty predicts.
Thus far, about 250,000 viewers have seen part or all of CWM from free screenings hosted by the American Family Association and GodTube. Viewers can go to www.adventfilmgroup.com/freemovie, then link to AFA or GodTube screenings from there. "This film could be a tipping point in this dramatic battle of Good vs. Evil in our lifetime," Ramspott exclaimed. "It is a 'must see' that will spur you onto action!"
"We are showing the movie free online for another few days, perhaps through November 4, as audiences support it through increasing DVD sales," explains George Escobar, founder of AFG. "The screening is underwritten by AFG and sponsors, but now families have come alongside us. They're excited to share the DVD with their family and friends."
Advent Film Group (AFG) produced the movie in association with Patrick Henry College (PHC), a true-to-life powerhouse in collegiate debate and moot court competition, whose students are showcased in the movie. Michael Farris, chancellor of PHC and constitutional attorney, wrote the film's legal framework.

Struggles and Triumphs: Retelling the Stories of Historical Women
Struggles and Triumphs: Retelling the Stories of Historical Women
ENUMCLAW, Wash., October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- As Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin step up into the political spotlight, many people may ponder on the influence of women throughout history. Cynthia L. Simmons, a former nurse and homeschooling mother of five, releases her new novel, "Struggles and Triumphs" (Pleasant Word 2008) in which she shares her passion for history and for the women who helped shape history.
While visiting the Smithsonian Museum one year, Simmons was particularly interested in an exhibit detailing the impact of women on politics. After researching a number of possibilities, Simmons settled on nine particular individuals.
"Each of the [women in my book] had something that made me feel a connection with them. For instance, I particularly liked Princess Alice, daughter of Queen Victoria, because she was a nurse. She had some serious questions about her faith and found answers."
"Struggles and Triumphs" offers a glimpse into the lives of nine prominent women from history--many have faith, several don't; all experience fears, expectations, challenges, dangers, oppression, and grief. Those who know Christ find their way through heartache with God's help and guidance
Follow the stories of these nine remarkable women from the past--some who overcame insurmountable odds by putting their faith and trust in God:
• Katie Luther, wife of Martin Luther
• Susannah Thompson, later Mrs. C.H. Spurgeon
• Princess Alice, daughter of Queen Victoria
• Queen Kateryn, wife of Henry VIII of England
• Louise, Duchess of Coburg
• Caroline Bauer, wife of Prince Leopold
• Ellen McCallie, wife of Thomas Hooke McCallie
• Princess Vicky, daughter of Queen Victoria
• Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk
"This is a book about women and for women. It shows that women have value wherever they find themselves in life," says Simmons.
Cynthia L. Simmons resides in the Atlanta area with her husband, Ray. She teaches a women's Sunday school class and enjoys studying the Bible, growing orchids, arranging flowers, playing the piano, singing, and historical research.
To order your copy of "Struggles and Triumphs" visit www.winepressbooks.com or call 877-421-7323. For a review copy or to schedule an interview please contact Abigail Davidson at 360-802-9758 or abigail@winepressgroup.com.

Renown Pro-Life Leader Expresses Desire to Vote Obama
Renown Pro-Life Leader Expresses Desire to Vote Obama
WASHINGTON, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- National Pro-Life leader Paul CB Schenck has issued the following statement. Schenck is co-founder of the National Pro-Life Action Center near the Supreme Court and National Pro-Life Radio.
The presidential election is closer than we think: national polls seem to show that Barack Obama has a commanding lead throughout the country. In almost every one, he is 3, 4, 5 some even 10 + points ahead of John McCain.
But there is s till a large number of "undecideds" out there - and they could well determine the outcome. I am among those "undecideds." Yes, I admit - with less than a week to go, I am not yet committed to a single candidate. Let me try to explain why -
I really want to be able to vote for Barack Obama. I want the long shadow of slavery, Jim Crowe and racial discrimination to be forever banished from our memory and experience. I want to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's color blind society by choosing the son of an Anglo mother and African father as my national leader. I want to tell my African-American family (I have 5 black nieces and nephews) and friends that I don't judge leadership qualities on the basis of skin color or ethnic identity. I want to lift up the poor and share the wealth. I want to show the world that America is not a prejudiced society and that we are the friends of the colored nations of the world. And yes, that we can elect a man by the name Hussein.
But I'm torn - truly tormented by Sen. Obama's baffling and inexplicable belief in victimizing the weakest, most vulnerable and voiceless members of our human community. I cannot comprehend his endorsement of dehumanizing the purest, most innocent and non-threatening persons, or his casual dismissal of our very nearest neighbors. Neither do I understand his unwillingness to extend the protection of the law to the people who hold forth the highest promise and greatest potential of any of the human race. It stupefies me that Barack wouldn't provide basic health care to the innocent victims of lethal violence. I am stumped that the son of a single mom raised by his grandparents wouldn't use his good offices to defend an abandoned child.
Senator Obama's support of abortion - which kills the pre-born child and forever scars her mother and father, is so confusing to me that I can't get past it to cast my vote for a man who otherwise promises to transform our national conscience. If I were to cast my vote for this man who in so many other ways fulfills my aspirations for our country - I feel that I would be selling out tomorrow's generation to assuage my own feelings of guilt over racism. So, I'm no longer undecided: I won't be voting for Barack Obama.

Informing the Christian Vote in 2008
Informing the Christian Vote in 2008
OPINION, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Most agree that for Christians, the number 1 issue is life. One black friend told me "Obama is pro-life and he's a Christian." But at the forum hosted by Rick Warren, while John McCain said life begins at conception, Obama said he didn't know when life began, but his voting record shows he thinks an unborn baby - even one surviving a botched abortion - has no right to life. He has a 100% rating by pro-abortion lobby NARAL and, according to a popular news site ( http://laiglesforum.com/2008/10/29/prominent- feminist-a-mccain-presidency-would-threaten- abortion-rights/), is endorsed by a prominent pro- abortion legal activist. Yet his campaign insists he is pro-life.

Is ignorance an excuse? The Bible says: my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. As Randall points out, God was so incensed by the Israelites who adopted pagan child sacrifice practices that even after they repented, He refused to pardon them! Clearly, the greatest sin against God is killing a helpless child.
How would God punish us? Has He not allowed us to suffer the worst bank crisis in all of human history? Or was that a mere coincidence?
Which brings us to the number 2 issue, the economy. Before the financial crisis, John McCain was leading in the polls. Since the crash, he has trailed Obama, showing that the economy is the pivotal issue, turning around the polls on the assumption that the Republicans caused the crisis. The Obama camp blamed the "unregulated" free market, suggesting President Bush had caused it by promoting free market principles. But is that accurate? The administration of popular news site Laigle's Forum (http://laiglesforum.com ) decided to investigate and discovered that, the crash was caused by over-regulation of mortgage companies by government do-gooders to "help" minorities. Knowing that the Left ignores opinions not shared by "mainstream" media, they found an improbable source in the mainstream French newspaper Le Figaro -- an article by Hayek Institute President and financial expert Vincent Benard. Laigle's Forum became the only news source in America to carry its own into-English translation of this article, which you can read here:

Will God allow our economy to be destroyed for the sin of disobedience - and of willful ignorance? No one knows. But we had better pay attention to this question: If we elect a president who defends the "right" to kill the unborn, would God be justified in allowing our nation to perish? You decide.

HWJV.org Launches Website to Explore the Scripture to Enlighten the Question, How Would Jesus Vote
HWJV.org Launches Website to Explore the Scripture to Enlighten the Question, How Would Jesus Vote
NEW YORK, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- A group of faith centered Americans who are proud of both of our faith and our country has banded together to try and debunk what seems to be accepted as fact: That Jesus belongs to the conservative right republicans.
In looking at the policies of the republican party: more war friendly, tax and program cutting, pro-gun, pro-big business... it didn't seem to fit. So we looked into scripture to come up with a rational argument that maybe the republican candidate is not Jesus' candidate after all.
What we found was amazing. On almost every important election issue there was good reason to believe that the democratic candidate was at least as good a choice, if not better for what we commonly accept as Jesus' teachings brought to life in policy.
Even if people don't have their mind changed, we hope it will cause some people to think. There shouldn't be an automatic answer to the question H.W.J.V. But hopefully from the site people will find pause for thought and ammunition for spirited discussion.
Below is excerpted from the website "About Us" page:
Who We Are:
A group of faith centered Americans who are proud of both of our faith and our country.
What We Believe:
We believe in Jesus' original teachings of love, forgiveness, peace, and caring for the less fortunate.
We believe that Jesus is a progressive, not a conservative. If you look at his policies on taking care of the poor, the sick and welcoming foreign strangers, he's more progressive than either candidate in the race. This is something that is lost in all the rhetoric and boiling down to single issues.
What we don't believe
We don't believe Jesus or religion should be used as a wedge issue. We cannot accept that religion, God, Jesus or morality belong more to one political party or the other. We find it offensive that the Republicans and conservative Christians have hijacked the political lives of faithful people by telling them there is only way to vote if they're not going to commit a sin. This is wrong.
We believe there is a strong case-- based on scripture--that Jesus would be very progressive politically and that he would support programs and views that are very far from the conservative agenda. We believe he would be appalled at many of the ways we conduct ourselves as citizens and neighbors and members of the world community.
We believe that this hijacking of America and of religion by the conservative wing of the Republican party is causing many of this country's and the world's ills. And the worst part is that it's being done under the guise of divine infallibility.
This must stop.
What we hope you come away with
We hope we provoke you into thinking for yourself.
You don't have to agree with us. But hopefully you'll see there are many interpretations of the word of the Lord. And you should run far away from anyone who tells you their interpretation of the gospel is the only interpretation.
We hope you come away with a feeling of freedom. Freedom to choose whom to vote for based on YOUR beliefs, YOUR relationship with God and the real issues at stake.
And to you who maintain an open mind and constantly challenge yourself to find God's guidance in challenging times, instead of increasingly hardening defense of a narrow view, we say good luck and God Bless.
What Obama Believes:
"We think of faith as a source of comfort and understanding but find our expressions of faith sowing division; we believe ourselves to be a tolerant people even as racial, religious, and cultural tensions roil the landscape. And instead of resolving these tensions or mediating these conflicts, our politics fans them, exploits them, and drives us further apart."
- The Audacity of Hope
"Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."

Claims by No on Prop 8 Grow More Desperate as Polling Numbers Sink
Claims by No on Prop 8 Grow More Desperate as Polling Numbers Sink
SACRAMENTO, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Polls continue to slide for No on Prop 8 Equity for All, as reports leak out that the campaign's management structure is in utter disarray. A series of orchestrated, factually false press statements have been issued alleging the sky will fall if Proposition 8 passes on Tuesday.
"Clearly, this is nothing more than a floundering campaign grasping at straws to save its effort," said Chip White, Protectmarriage.com - Yes on 8 campaign spokesman. "It's quite sad because those who are hurt most are voters. We invited the No on Prop 8 campaign to debate Proposition 8 this weekend in a live, televised format, but it declined our invitation. If the No campaign is so confident in its arguments, why refuse the debate?"
Claims reporting Proposition 8 has nothing to do with schools, to Proposition 8 will cause a high-tech brain drain, are being passed off as fact. These claims are nothing but noisy rhetoric and last minute campaign stunts aimed at confusing voters instead of educating them.
Claim One: Proposition 8 has nothing to do with schools.
Truth: A few weeks ago children in a 1st grade class attended their teacher's gay wedding in San Francisco on a school-organized field trip. The principal called it a "teachable moment." That sure sounds like same-sex marriage instruction in schools.
This week kindergartners at Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science in Hayward, CA, were asked to sign pledge cards saying they would not use anti-LGBT language. Parents who felt their children were far too young for such a discussion, most at an average age of 5 who are just learning the basics of reading and writing, were not permitted to opt-out, but instead had to keep their children home from school.
As we have clearly demonstrated, California Education Code Section 51933 states schools "shall teach respect for marriage and committed relationships." According to the California Department of Education website, 96% of schools teach this curriculum. And under the Supreme Court's ruling, current California law means marriage instruction includes instruction on gay marriage. Thus, gay marriage is already part of the curriculum. Perhaps because of these simple facts, Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell refuses to debate.
Claim Two: Proposition 8 would have no effect on a church's tax-exempt status.
Truth: The No on 8 campaign used a classic lawyer trick, rolled out a group of lawyers yesterday to falsely state our concern about the impact of same sex marriage on religious freedoms, and then saying our concerns are false. For the record, the Yes on 8 campaign has never said that churches, acting as churches, would be forced to perform gay marriages. However, it is clear that where churches interact with the public square, in providing social services or even conducting business, their tax exempt status is at risk.
In one well publicized case, Catholic Charities in Boston ran adoption facilities that managed 700 cases since 1987, most involving children with special needs. Catholic Charities placed such children into parents in traditional marriages, according to their faith. After gay marriage was legalized in Massachusetts, the state told Catholic Charities it had to place children with gay marriage couples as well. Faced with such a decision, Catholic Charities reluctantly decided to stop providing adoption services.
Another religious non-profit, Ocean Grove Campground in New Jersey, lost a portion of its tax-exempt status on a rental pavilion because it refused to rent the facility to a lesbian couple for a civil commitment ceremony.
Claim Three: Proposition 8 discriminates against gays and lesbians.
Truth: Under California's current domestic partnership law, (Family Code Section 297), gay couples are awarded the same legal rights and privileges as married couples. California has the strongest civil union/domestic partnership law in the nation, and Proposition 8 does not take away any of those rights.
Claim Four: If Proposition 8 passes there will be a brain drain to gay-friendly Massachusetts.
Truth: Gay marriage has been legal in Massachusetts for five years and California still remains the epicenter of technology, biomed and other science-based industries. If a "gay brain-drain" was going to happen, shouldn't it have started 5 years ago?
"The claims being disseminated by the No on 8 campaign are preposterous," said White, "and have no basis in fact. We realize the No on 8 has a new team that has to justify their hiring, but cheap campaign stunts and false claims do not serve the public."

Free Speech Now Welcome at Columbia College
Free Speech Now Welcome at Columbia College
COLUMBIA, Calif., October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Campus Life Tour returned to the campus of Columbia College yesterday, just two months after three members were unanimously acquitted on criminal charges of causing a campus disturbance during their April 2007 visit. This time the group was greeted with open arms by the same college officials who had them arrested a year and a half ago. Campus Life Tour is a pro-life campus outreach project of Survivors, a Christian, pro- life activism organization dedicated to educating and activating high school and college age individuals. (www.survivors.la)
During the criminal trial, the judge declared the college's free speech policy unconstitutional because it required individuals to apply for a permit at least 15 business days prior to exercising their constitutional rights. Columbia College learned a hard lesson and took the court's ruling to heart. The public community college has changed its policy and now welcomes free speech advocates to its campus rather than censoring their message.
Upon arriving on campus yesterday, the Campus Life Tour was personally escorted to a particularly well- traveled area on campus by college officials. The team set up their displays, quietly held signs, distributed literature, and peacefully dialogued with students. "We were fiercely challenged by some contentious faculty members, but all in all, this was a victory for the constitution and free speech advocates everywhere," said Don Blythe, a local activist who was one of those arrested during the previous visit to Columbia College.
Allison K. Aranda, who defended the Survivors in the criminal trial, stated "It is always a great feeling when your clients' rights are vindicated. But, this is an example of true justice! To come full circle and see the Columbia College correct their unconstitutional policy and openly embrace, not only my clients', but every American citizen's First Amendment right to free speech restores a glimmer of hope in our country's public institutions of higher learning."
Executive Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation, Dana Cody, commented on the situation at Columbia College stating, "Kudos to the campus administration for being so cooperative." Ms. Cody added, "This same outcome is exactly what we expect in the Alameda case we notified the media about yesterday. I predict that because of LLDF's efforts and Ms. Aranda's legal tenacity, during the next visit to the College of Alameda, their campus administration will welcome the Survivors with open arms."
Life Legal Defense Foundation, one of the organizations who partnered to defend the Survivors in this litigation, is a non-profit organization composed of attorneys and other concerned citizens, committed to giving helpless and innocent human beings of any age, and their advocates, a trained and committed voice in the courtrooms of our nation. For more information call Allison K. Aranda at 951-541- 9327.

"We were fiercely challenged by some contentious faculty members, but all in all, this was a victory for the constitution and free speech advocates everywhere," said Don Blythe, a local activist who was one of those arrested during the previous visit to Columbia College.
Allison K. Aranda, who defended the Survivors in the criminal trial, stated "It is always a great feeling when your clients' rights are vindicated. But, this is an example of true justice! To come full circle and see the Columbia College correct their unconstitutional policy and openly embrace, not only my clients', but every American citizen's First Amendment right to free speech restores a glimmer of hope in our country's public institutions of higher learning."
Executive Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation, Dana Cody, commented on the situation at Columbia College stating, "Kudos to the campus administration for being so cooperative." Ms. Cody added, "This same outcome is exactly what we expect in the Alameda case we notified the media about yesterday. I predict that because of LLDF's efforts and Ms. Aranda's legal tenacity, during the next visit to the College of Alameda, their campus administration will welcome the Survivors with open arms."
Life Legal Defense Foundation, one of the organizations who partnered to defend the Survivors in this litigation, is a non-profit organization composed of attorneys and other concerned citizens, committed to giving helpless and innocent human beings of any age, and their advocates, a trained and committed voice in the courtrooms of our nation.

'Fight For America' Bread of Stone Urges Christian Vote
NASHVILLE, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- With the November 4th Election being less than one week away, Bread of Stone hit the media trail this past month, discussing the importance of voting on the principles this country was founded on and why it is important to vote. Ben Kristijanto, lead singer and co-founder of the band, shared his views on the importance of encouraging Evangelicals, especially young adults to cast their ballots.
Having done over two dozen interviews during the month of October, Bread of Stone hit the road sharing their testimony, discussing the importance of voting and performing on Christian and mainstream radio and television stations, including FamilyNet's "Everyday with Lisa and Marcus" and "Mornings with Lorri and Larry," which airs not only live on TV, but also simulcast on Sirius Radio. The live interview can be heard here.
While in Atlanta, the band stopped at WATC-TV 57's Atlanta Live, where they were interviewed by Bishop William Sheals and performed 5 songs throughout the live show. Continuing to Montgomery, AL, the band was featured during the morning show on WAKA-TV, a CBS affiliate.
Throughout the month, Bill and Ben Kristijanto shared how their ministry began in 2004 and talked about living in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country the first 9 years of their life. The band was interviewed by stations including, The Path FM, WJTL, His Radio, WEKZ, WEEC, and The River, a new Christian radio station in Montgomery, AL.

Dallas Ad Agency Exec has 10,000 Praying in 5,000 Zip Codes at PrayForSarahPalin.com
Dallas Ad Agency Exec has 10,000 Praying in 5,000 Zip Codes at PrayForSarahPalin.com
DALLAS, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Vicki Garza, owner of Garza Creative Group, announced today that her volunteer website www.prayforsarahpalin.com has reached 30,000 unique visitors. Of those, over 10,000 have committed to pray daily for Sarah Palin's peace, protection and wisdom as well as for the other candidates on the ballot.
Garza explains what led her to form the prayer site: "I felt compelled to create this website when Senator McCain urged everyone to 'do something' in his acceptance speech for the Presidential nomination of the Republican party. As a mother of five and grandmother of seven, as well as a Christian businesswoman, I can relate to Sarah Palin. The verbal attacks, mocking jokes and disgusting videos and photos that have come out against her have been mean-spirited and demeaning. There is no doubt she needed the power of prayer surrounding her every minute of every day during the campaign process. This site was something I knew I could do for her."
With this race as tight as it is, Garza believes our prayers and our Christian walk will make a difference. "When it's all over and the dust has settled after the elections, our faith to believe God for the best in our nation will be counted unto us for righteousness. And those who were watching us have either witnessed us praying and walking in love and grace, or they have seen us stoop to the level of other mean- spirited people. I'd rather be found faithful in prayer."

Free Speech Now Welcome at Columbia College
Free Speech Now Welcome at Columbia College
COLUMBIA, Calif., October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Campus Life Tour returned to the campus of Columbia College yesterday, just two months after three members were unanimously acquitted on criminal charges of causing a campus disturbance during their April 2007 visit. This time the group was greeted with open arms by the same college officials who had them arrested a year and a half ago. Campus Life Tour is a pro-life campus outreach project of Survivors, a Christian, pro- life activism organization dedicated to educating and activating high school and college age individuals. (www.survivors.la)
During the criminal trial, the judge declared the college's free speech policy unconstitutional because it required individuals to apply for a permit at least 15 business days prior to exercising their constitutional rights. Columbia College learned a hard lesson and took the court's ruling to heart. The public community college has changed its policy and now welcomes free speech advocates to its campus rather than censoring their message.
Upon arriving on campus yesterday, the Campus Life Tour was personally escorted to a particularly well- traveled area on campus by college officials. The team set up their displays, quietly held signs, distributed literature, and peacefully dialogued with students. "We were fiercely challenged by some contentious faculty members, but all in all, this was a victory for the constitution and free speech advocates everywhere," said Don Blythe, a local activist who was one of those arrested during the previous visit to Columbia College.
Allison K. Aranda, who defended the Survivors in the criminal trial, stated "It is always a great feeling when your clients' rights are vindicated. But, this is an example of true justice! To come full circle and see the Columbia College correct their unconstitutional policy and openly embrace, not only my clients', but every American citizen's First Amendment right to free speech restores a glimmer of hope in our country's public institutions of higher learning."
Executive Director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation, Dana Cody, commented on the situation at Columbia College stating, "Kudos to the campus administration for being so cooperative." Ms. Cody added, "This same outcome is exactly what we expect in the Alameda case we notified the media about yesterday. I predict that because of LLDF's efforts and Ms. Aranda's legal tenacity, during the next visit to the College of Alameda, their campus administration will welcome the Survivors with open arms."
Life Legal Defense Foundation, one of the organizations who partnered to defend the Survivors in this litigation, is a non-profit organization composed of attorneys and other concerned citizens, committed to giving helpless and innocent human beings of any age, and their advocates, a trained and committed voice in the courtrooms of our nation.

Law of Subjective Responsibility
Law of Subjective Responsibility
OPINION, October 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Tony Nassif:
EXTENDED IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND MORALITY
The policies, positions and morals of the leaders of the nation will set in motion the Law of Subjective Responsibility.
LAW OF SUBJECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY
The Law of Subjective Responsibility, coined by Tony Nassif in his book Jesus, Politics and the Church, states that whatever the leader of the nation does that aligns or rebels against God's standards, will bring the consequences (good or bad) of their policies, morals, and decisions upon those over whom they govern.
ADAM and EVE
When Adam sinned against God the whole human race fell. All of creation fell victim to sin and death because of one man's decision.
ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
The faith of Abraham (father of Isaac and Jacob) procured the blessing to the whole nation of Israel for generations.
MOSES AND PHAROAH
When Pharoah obey God's demand through Moses' and would not let Israel go he was the only one who rebelled against God yet the ten plagues fell on the whole nation of Egypt and THEY DID NOT HAVE A VOICE IN THEIR GOVERNMENT.
KING DAVID
In the Bible, King David rebelled against God and numbered the Israelites (I Chronicles 21:7-17. As a result of his rebellion 70,000 Israelites lost their lives.
KING CONSTANTINE 3rd century A.D.
When Constantine won the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (early 4th century A.D.) he became Emperor over the whole Roman Empire which he attributed to Jesus Christ who spoke to him through a vision.
Consequently, he issued the Edict of Milan (313 A.D.) which stopped all Christian persecution. The tortures inflicted upon the Christians are unspeakable.
THE OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT
The office of government, in and of itself, has no morality. It is an instrument of power. The book of Esther in the Bible shows that while Hayman was Prime Minister he used it to perpetrate evil against the Jews. When Esther's Uncle occupied the seat of authority it was used to bring good.
Therefore the morality emanating through the office of government to the people came through the morality of the one holding the office.
CONCLUSION:
Be very careful of who we elect to hold the offices of authority. We may well be the victims or benefactors of their morality.

Is the U.S. Secret Service already prepared ? Every 5th German woman is dreaming about a love affair with U. S. President Barack Obama
Is the U.S. Secret Service already prepared ?
Every 5th German woman is dreaming about a love affair with U. S. President Barack Obama
By Andreas Klamm
Washington, D. C./New York City./3mnewswire.org/November 4, 2008. It is amazing how people are planning to celebrate the possible winning of the U.S. election of the first Afro-American U.S. President Mr. Barack Obama in the American history. On the internet women do offer already “sex deals” only to have a chance to be a part of the big and massive party which will be held in the city of Chicago. The newspaper BILD (“Image”) has issued a release that women offer “sex” in exchange for a ticket for the Obama Party which will be held after the U.S. election.
According to the leading German newspapers BILD almost 40 percent of the German women are looking for a love affair with Barack Obama. The U.S. Secret Service and its though men will have to face new challenges which they might have never seen before in the American history. Every 5th German woman is according to the paper BILD dreaming about a love affair with the U.S. President Barack Obama.
In a public poll 22 percent of German women have admitted that they want a love affair with Mr. Barack Obama. In the group of the women aged 14 to 29, 38 percent (!!!) of the women have admitted that they are looking for a love affair with Barack Obama.
Only 2 percent of the German women are looking for a love affair with John McCain. It seems that there is no serious challenge caused by women in love with John McCain.
As our international observers have learned the U.S. Secret Service is usually prepared for all kind of terrorist threats but is the U.S. Secret Service prepared for love? And what about the serious situation if German women might fall in love with members of the U.S. Secret Service, too?
This might be a quite new challenge for the members of the U.S. Secret Service. They might have been prepared for war and disasters but had the members of the U.S. Secret Service really a chance to be prepared for the situation if they are going to meet a huge number of women: “Crying in a choir: I want you tonight, baby?”
Imagine the pictures that may about almost 40 percent of women of the country of Germany will travel to Washington D. C. and trying hard to get in personal touch with Barack Obama.
As the U.S. election is still ongoing it is at this stage unknown if the U.S. Postal Service is prepared for delivering a lot of gifts send by women from German in love with Barack Obama to Washington, D.C. . It seems that the wife of Barack Obama and in the future also the new First Lady of the the United States of America Michelle Obama will have to take an active part in protecting her husband and her marriage.
In some parts of the country of Germany people are already celebrating in advance before the official end of the U.S. election the new 44th President of the United States of America, Mr. Barack Obama. Some unofficial sources have mentioned something like “Oba-mania” or the “Obama fever” is influencing women from all over the world not only in Germany.
Besides the high number of women which are already in love with Barack Obama many people in Germany have also not only have the hope for love but that the war in Iraq will soon come to an end while others have expressed that torture will be banned in the future in the United States of America, too. The newspaper BILD has called the U.S. election already the “most important election in the world ever...”
The latest news from the U.S election polls. 53 percent for Barack Obama and 42 percent for Senator John McCain. The U.S. election is not over yet. Please, wait before you celebrate.
Source: BILD, http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/politik/2008/11/02/obama/countdown-wichtigste-wahl-der-welt.html
It seems that many people in the entire world are observing the U.S. election. In this case Senator Barack Obama has already caused a change in many different places in this world. As I have been an observer of the former U.S. elections I can not remember that German women have made such statements of expression of love towards a potential U.S president in the past. There is a change already: Women in love with Barack Obama.

Right Livelihood Award Schweden - Jakob von Uexkull: Menschen sollten sich mehr in der Politik engagieren und Demokratie verteidige

Right Livelihood Award Schweden
Jakob von Uexkull: Menschen sollten sich mehr in der Politik engagieren und Demokratie verteidigen
Von Andreas Klamm
New York / London / Stockholm./3mnewswire.org/13. November 2008. „Die Menschen sollten sich mehr in der Politik engagieren und die Demokratie verteidigen.“, das sagte der Gründer und Direktor der Right Livelihood Award Foundation in Schweden, Jakob von Uexkull, in einem Interview mit dem Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autor mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm, in einem Radio-Interview bei Radio IBS Liberty.
Am 8. Dezember wird Jakob von Uxekull den Preisträgern des Right Livelihood Award der Auszeichnung für das Jahr 2008 die Preise im Parlament von Schweden in der Stadt Stockholm überreichen. Der Right Livelihood Award ist weltweit bekannt als alternativer Nobelpreis, der jährlich in den Tagen vor der Nobel-Preis-Verleihung an die Empfänger des internationalen Preises verliehen wird. Den Preisträgern ist der Preis oft eine große Hilfe, weil die engagierten Frauen und Männer bisher oft ohne jede finanzielle Unterstützung wichtige Projekte der sozialen Transformation realisiert haben, die für viele Menschen in aller Welt von kaum schätzbarer Bedeutung und Nutzen sind.
In diesem Jahr werden, Monika Hauser, eine Ärztin aus Deutschland, die in vielen Krisenregionen und Kriegs-Gebieten in dieser Welt gearbeitet hat, um den überlebenden Opfern und Frauen von Massenvergewaltigungen und sexueller Gewalt während der Kriege zu helfen und sie zu rehabilitieren. Monika Hauser gibt den Opfer von Gewalt, Schutz und Unterstützung und engagiert sich auch dafür, dass die Vergewaltigung von Frauen während der Kriege als Kriegs-Verbrechen verfolgt und bestraft wird. In diesem Bereich setzte sich die Ärztin auch in großen Gefahren unter anderem während des Krieges in Bosnien und in Asien ein.
Asha Hagi ist eine Parlamentarierin in Somalia. Somalia ist bekanntlich ein Land, das im Chaos versinkt. Das hat die Frau nicht davon abgehalten einen Clan für Frauen zu gründen. Bisher gab es in dem Land, das immer wieder durch Kriege zwischen den Stämmen und Clanen erschüttert wird, fünf Clan-Organisationen, die ausschließlich von Männern repräsentiert waren. Asha Hagai gründete den sechsten Clan. Den Clan der Frauen. Sie engagiert sich zudem für Frieden und für ein Ende der immer wieder neu aufflammenden Kämpfe in Somalia. Sie mischte sich gewissermaßen damit gleichberechtigt in die Verhandlungen ein. Den Right Livelihood Award erhält sie für diese Arbeit und Mut den die Frau einbrachte.
Ein Ehepaar aus Indien wird ebenso ausgezeichnet mit dem Right Livelihood Award. Nach Schweden kann jedoch „nur“ die Ehefrau Krishnammal Jogannathan reisen, da ihr Ehegatte schon weit über 90 Jahre alt ist. Das Ehepaar und Krishnammal Jogannathan arbeitete schon mit Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi zusammen. Ihr Hauptziel ist dafür zu sorgen, dass die Menschen ohne Land, Zugang zu Land erhalten. Das Interesse an der Arbeit Ghandis wächst durch das Engagement des Ehepaars sehr. Dies vor allem auch aufgrund der wachsenden Probleme durch den Klimawandel.
Als erste Journalistin in der Welt wird eine der besten Journalistinnen in dieser Welt zum ersten Mal mit dem Right Livelihood Award ausgezeichnet und gefördert. Amy Goodman, die Gründerin eines kleinen alternativen Medien-Imperiums in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und eines politischen Informations-Programmes, das auch der Ausbildung dient, Democracy NOW! (www.democracynow.org) wurde im September 2008 während einer politischen Bericht-Erstattung verhaftet. Am 8. Dezember 2008 wird sie die erste Journalistin in der Welt sein, die den angesehenen Right Livelihood Award, den alternativen Nobel-Preis, erhalten wird.
Das Projekt Democracy NOW! gründete die Journalistin, die an der angesehenen Harvard University in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika studierte und seit Jahr 1984 Radio-Sendungen produziert. Democracy NOW! kann als Radio- und Fernseh-Sendungen inzwischen weltweit in der englischen Sprache bei mehr als 700 regionalen Fernseh-Stationen und rund 250 Radio-Stationen, von Montag bis Freitag, gehört werden. Amy Goodman ist gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder David Goodman auch die Autorin von politisch kritischen Büchern wie „Standing up to the madness“, Drilling and Killing: Chevron and Nigeria's Oil Dictatorship' (1998), Massacre: the Story of East Timor'. Diese Geschichte kostete fast das Leben der Autorin. In Ost -Timor überlebte die Journalistin mit einem weiteren Journalisten das Massaker im Jahr 1991, in dem Soldaten aus Indonesien 270 Menschen in Ost-Timor ermordeten.
Die Autorin und Journalistin schrieb drei weitere Bücher gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder mit harten Fakten: The Exception to the Rulers (2004); Static: Government Liars, Media Cheer-leaders and the People who Fight Back (2006); and Standing up to the Madness (2008). Sie schreibt zudem regelmäßig Kolumnen für Zeitungen in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.
„Wir brauchen alternative Stimmen. Es gibt diese Stimmen. Aber diese Stimmen werden oft nicht gehört in den Medien. Das ist durch die Gleichschaltung der Medien besonders auch in den USA der Fall. Das macht es unmöglich irgendwelche komplexen Zusammenhänge vernünftig zu erklären im Radio oder Fernsehen. Amy Goodman sorgt mit ihrem Programm für eine informierte Debatte und gibt den alternativen Stimmen ein Gehör.“, erklärte Jakob von Uexkull.
Die Jury hat die Verhaftung der Journalistin mit großer Sorge beobachtet. Das war sicher einer der Gründe für die Nominierung auch wegen der amerikanischen Wahlen. Die Verhaftung zeigte der Jury noch stärker, wie wichtig es ist eine derart engagierte Frau und Journalistin zu unterstützen und zu schützen.
Besonders auf dem Gebiet der Wirtschaft sieht Jakob von Uexkull das Problem des gefährlichen Demokratie-Defizits. Lügen in der Politik, wie etwa in der Bankenkrise, in der seit Jahren Menschen immer wieder erzählt wurde, es sei kein Geld da, als plötzlich dann Milliarden von Euro und U.S Dollar „auftauchen“ um die Banken zu retten, sollten nicht zu einer Politik-Skepsis führen, sondern vielmehr dazu , dass sich mehr engagierte Menschen politisch, regional oder national einsetzen. Demokratie müsse immer wieder neu erkämpft werden. Der Stiftungs-Gründer betonte: „Man muss bereit sein sich im politischen Leben auch zu engagieren. Nicht etwa als Berufspolitiker und auch nicht für das ganze Leben, doch durchaus lokal, regional und national, vielmehr als bisher. Ein Beitritt zu Organisationen und Vereinen genügt nicht. Man muss sich auch politisch und gesellschaftlich persönlich engagieren, wenn man dafür sorgen will, dass der Krieg gegen die Demokratie nicht etwa von den Feinden der Demokratie gewonnen wird.“

Ground Breaking New Series for Catholic Tweens
Photo: Christian NewswireGround Breaking New Series for Catholic Tweens
MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Exposure to sex on television may influence teen pregnancy by creating the perception that there is little risk to engaging in sex without using contraceptives and accelerating the initiation of sexual intercourse," so says the just released RAND Health Study.
Media expert, talk show host, and best selling Catholic Author Teresa Tomeo is available to comment on this new study as well as the importance of providing children, especially girls, with solid Christian materials to counteract the damaging messages coming from today's over-sexualized culture. Teresa is the co-author of a new groundbreaking series for girls called "All Things Girl." As a media expert with almost three decades of experience, Teresa offers hope and insight as she delves into the destructive secular messages that infiltrate our homes and families. Now, more than ever, we must catechize our families with the teachings of the Church!
The series includes five individual titles and an accompanying journal that has prominent Catholic authors and speakers such as Dr. Meg Meeker saying...
"The truths presented are poignant, easy to read and wholly inspiring- helping every girl understand that her real identity begins as God's beloved daughter."
Using the truths of JPII's Theology of the Body and Feminine Genius, the goal of each book is to impart the Truths of the Catholic Church to daughters in such a way as to build a foundation from which Catholic girls can confidently grow into Catholic women ready to say "yes" to God. Girls are given real tips on fashion and beauty but are also encouraged to "have a plan" that develops their relationship with Christ and their true inner beauty. Girls will understand what it means to be a daughter of the King.
The titles in the series are:
Friends, Boys, and Getting Along
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...What is Beauty, After All Girls Rock!
Modern and Modest
Mind Your Manners
All Things Girl Journal for Prayers, Thoughts, and Other Important Things
The series also includes additional products such as daughter of the King bracelets and tote bags. A leader's guide will be available December 1, 2009 so that the books may be used in a variety of programs and groups. The books are available at most Catholic bookstores, online booksellers, and through the co- author's website at www.RunwaytoReality.org.
These books make excellent Christmas gifts for daughters, granddaughters, friends, and schoolmates.
See why everyone loves this ground-breaking new series for daughters of the King! For bulk purchase information, visit www.BezalelBooks.com or contact Cheryl at BezalelBooks@gmail.com. Teresa is available at 586-777-2691.

Internet Evangelist Declares, 'The Hand of God Has Been Removed from this Nation'
Internet Evangelist Declares, 'The Hand of God Has Been Removed from this Nation'
MEDIA ADVISORY, November 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bill Keller, founder of Liveprayer.com and the world's leading internet evangelist, has been long concerned about the American economic crisis, and with the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of the United States, Keller declared, "the hand of God has been removed from this nation."
Keller explains that this nation has been operating in rebellion to God and biblical truth for decades, legally slaughtering four thousand innocent babies daily, making a mockery of God's plan for marriage and the family, turning to the lusts of the flesh and pleasures of earthly existence, while worshiping the idols and false gods of the world.
Against this backdrop, says Keller, the nation has just elected a man who will insure abortion on demand in all fifty states, champion the radical homosexual agenda, and be friendly to those nations that want to see Israel destroyed. And while President-elect Obama claims to be a Christian, his stated beliefs and actions in office illustrate his rebellion against God and the truth of the Bible. In addition to supporting the legalized killing of the unborn and the homosexual agenda, Obama has stated that he believes the universalistic lie that everyone will get to heaven despite rejecting faith in Jesus Christ.
The United States has had presidents before who were not friends of God, and the nation did not crumble spiritually because at the time there was still a vibrant remnant of true followers of Christ. Today, we have the better percentage of two full generations who have never been to church; so many churches today do little or no evangelism. Over the past forty years, that remnant of true followers has dwindled down considerably as older saints have gone to be with the Lord and haven't been replaced.
The effect of Obama's election is that it will empower those who oppose the work of God. Their target will be zeroed in on those who believe, preach, and teach the Bible as God's inspired, inerrant word, representing absolute truth and our final authority in all matters. They will be out to destroy true followers of Jesus Christ. The destruction will come in many forms such as the introduction of laws that allow the Bible to be referred to as hate speech, as other countries have already implemented. For the first time, real and tangible persecution is going to be felt by those who refuse to compromise the truth of the Bible and preach the Gospel.
The end result is that people are no longer going to be able to stand in the middle. The election of President Barack Hussein Obama is going to finally force people to take a stand. You are either a follower of Christ, which means you are also a follower of His word, or you are not. Jesus said you can't serve two masters. Elijah told the people on Mt. Carmel to choose who they would serve. It is now time for true followers of Jesus Christ to step up and take their stand for Christ.
This spring, God gave Keller a vision for this nation and the evangelist launched the Jonah Project. The Lord gave Keller this vision and the Holy Spirit guided him to set up this vehicle to bring together true followers of Jesus Christ at this moment in human history, to call this nation to repentance, to turn back to God and biblical truth, and to help lead the lost to faith in Jesus Christ while taking a bold and visible stand on the social issues of our day.
Please visit the Jonah Project homepage at www.liveprayer.com/jonah/ and watch the vision video. The only hope for our nation and for each soul is to turn back to God and biblical truth.

Obama's Startling Reaction to Funeral Service for Baby Killed After Failed Abortion Renews Calls for Prosecution
Obama's Startling Reaction to Funeral Service for Baby Killed After Failed Abortion Renews Calls for Prosecution
New video shows clips from Baby Shanice's funeral along with the Obama reaction
HIALEAH, FL, Nov. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the wake of her long- anticipated funeral, inflammatory comments by President-elect Barack Obama have renewed calls for charges to be filed in the death of Baby Shanice Denise Osbourne, who was born alive after a failed abortion at a Hialeah, Florida, abortion clinic, shoved into a plastic bag, and tossed on the roof of the abortion building to die in July, 2006.
Rev. O'Neal Dozier, of the World Wide Christian Center where Baby Shanice's funeral took place last month, used the opportunity to expose Obama for opposing legislation in Illinois that would have provided protection for babies like Shanice.
In startling response to the media, an Obama spokesperson accused Rev. Dozier of engaging in "the most disgusting and manipulative kind of hate politics around."
"In trying to defend the indefensible, all Obama and his henchmen can do is demonize those who are telling the truth about his voting record," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "No smear tactic can erase the fact that Obama clearly voted to deny protections for babies like Shanice. In spite of opposition from Obama, there are clear laws protecting live babies from being murdered in cold blood."
The Obama camp's inflammatory remarks only served to call attention to the lack of enforcement of laws that are designed to protect babies who die during failed abortions, and have renewed demands for prosecutors to end the delay in charging unlicensed abortion worker Belkis Gonzalez with Baby Shanice's murder.
It was Gonzalez, according to a clinic worker who secretly reported the incident to the police, who cut the baby's umbilical cord and, while the little girl was still moving as gasping for air, swept her into a biohazard bag filled with chemicals, and tossed her on the roof of the abortion clinic in order to conceal her body from discovery. Police later recovered Baby Shanice's body and an autopsy proved that Shanice's lungs had breathed air.
After over two years of prosecutorial stalling, Operation Rescue is renewing its demand that authorities arrest and charge Gonzalez.
"In the interest of justice, we need an immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible for this innocent baby's murder," said Newman. "We urge the public to contact the local prosecutor and demand that this case to move forward."

Is Photoshop Killing Photojournalism? New Black Star E-Book Takes a Hard Look at the Ethical Challenges Facing a Profession in Crisis
Is Photoshop Killing Photojournalism? New Black Star E-Book Takes a Hard Look at the Ethical Challenges Facing a Profession in Crisis
In an age of photo doctoring and other technology-driven turmoil, the legendary photographic agency Black Star has released a free e-book to help photojournalists and students sort through "what's right and wrong today."
NEW YORK, November 10 /Standard Newswire/ -- Black Star, the 73-year-old photographic agency that helped introduce contemporary photojournalism to the United States, today announced the release of an e-book -- "Photojournalism, Technology and Ethics: What's Right and Wrong Today?" -- that examines photojournalism's ethical challenges through the prism of the profession's past, present and future.
"The profession of photojournalism as we know it is threatened by technological transformation, the rise of video, and the fragmentation of the media," said John P. Chapnick, executive vice president of Black Star. "It's under fire from a suspicious public - watchdog bloggers, cable and radio pundits, and other critics who question the profession's credibility and authority to bring us an accurate picture of the world.
"This e-book looks at the implications of these changes for the future of photojournalism. It also asks what actions photographers, editors and publishers can take to ensure photojournalism's authority with audiences, now and in the years ahead."
Authored by Black Star editorial director Anh D. Stack and Black Star Rising editor Scott Baradell, "Photojournalism, Technology and Ethics" explores issues such as Photoshop manipulation, shot-staging, and the politicization of photojournalism. It includes probing interviews with working photojournalists and academics.
The e-book's chapters include:
* "Our Pictures Must Always Tell the Truth"
* The Golden Age of Photojournalism
* Altered Photographs, Staged Shots and the Era of Distrust
* Toward a 21st Century Ethical Model

Richard Viguerie: Conservatives deserve credit for resignations of Blunt, Putnam
Richard Viguerie: Conservatives deserve credit for resignations of Blunt, Putnam
MANASSAS, Virginia, November 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Conservatives deserve credit for the resignations of Roy Blunt and Adam Putnam from their positions as the second and third-ranking House Republicans, Richard A. Viguerie, the Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said.
The resignations show that "Grassroots conservatives are being heard," Viguerie said. "Conservatives who make up the base of the Republican Party know that we will never get to the political Promised Land with the leaders who got us into this mess."
Said Viguerie: "The so-called 'cranky conservatives' - those who refused to fall in line behind the Republican Party, and who maintained their independence, at the price of being ridiculed as 'impossible to please' - deserve credit for forcing the Republicans to change leaders.
"And credit should also go to those Republicans in Congress who risked their careers by demanding changes at the top.
"In addition, Congressmen Blunt and Putnam deserve thanks for putting the future of their party ahead of their own ambitions. It's nothing personal. These are good men, but the Republican Party needs to go in a different direction with new leaders.
"Now it's time to finish the job. The Republican leaders in the House and Senate, at the Republican National Committee, and everyone else responsible for this debacle, must go."
Viguerie said that includes House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and the Republican Party chairman, Mike Duncan. It also includes Congressman Tom Cole, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is responsible for electing Republicans to the House.
Viguerie noted that conservatives have been calling for new GOP leadership for years, beginning before the disastrous 2006 election. For example, in his book Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause, (Bonus Books, August 2006), Viguerie called on conservatives to "cut off your support of the Republican National Committee and other party fundraising committees" and "demand sweeping changes in the Republican congressional leadership."
Just last week, on the morning after the election, Viguerie said that "The [Republican] congressional leadership must be replaced with principled conservatives. If the congressional leaders refuse to resign, grassroots conservatives should cut off their support - their financial support, and their volunteer support."
Viguerie was not alone in demanding new GOP leadership. Last July, the influential Lincoln Club of Orange County, California vowed to cut off fund unless the leadership changed. Columnist Robert Novak said of the declaration: "The Lincoln Club of Orange County is telling the GOP leaders of both the House and Senate . . . [t]hey must go - or else lose big money."

MANASSAS, Virginia, November 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Conservatives deserve credit for the resignations of Roy Blunt and Adam Putnam from their positions as the second and third-ranking House Republicans, Richard A. Viguerie, the Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, said.
The resignations show that "Grassroots conservatives are being heard," Viguerie said. "Conservatives who make up the base of the Republican Party know that we will never get to the political Promised Land with the leaders who got us into this mess."

Will Federal Female Employees Be Safe from Cross-Dressing Men Using Ladies'
Will Federal Female Employees Be Safe from Cross-Dressing Men Using Ladies' Restrooms in the Obama Administration
'The Obama-Biden Transition Project does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other basis of discrimination prohibited by law.' -- Application for non-career federal jobs in an Obama Administration, http://change.gov/page/s/application
CHICAGO, November 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Americans For Truth reacted to the news that an Obama Administration will likely enact "gender identity" as a nondiscrimination category by questioning whether federal female employees will be protected from transsexual men wearing dresses who demand to use ladies' restrooms on the basis of their self-perceived "female identity."
"Men who believe they are women, and vice versa, will be officially protected based under Obama on the basis of their 'gender identity' (read: gender confusion)," said Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth about Homosexuality. "Cross- dressing, 'male-to-female' activists already demand the right to use female restrooms on the basis of this same notion of 'gender identity'-based rights. So will an Obama Administration allow these big-boned men in female clothing to use ladies' restrooms in federal buildings?
"What will a President Obama do to protect the right to privacy of female federal workers who don't want men wearing dresses - with male genitalia - sharing their women's restroom?" LaBarbera said. "Will a President Obama request funds from Congress to embark on an ambitious 'Transgender Restroom Construction Project' to build special "trans" bathrooms in government buildings - so as not to subject female employees to sexual harassment and violations of their privacy?"
The ACLU is commending the Obama for including "gender identity" in its hiring criteria, calling it a "bold departure from the past." The news is circulating on homosexual-oriented websites and e-mail discussion groups, increasing the likelihood that many men and woman embracing gender-confused "identities" will be applying for jobs in an Obama Administration.
The online Obama- Biden job application site stipulates that the presidential transition agency "does no discriminate" on the basis of "gender identity," among other categories. President-elect Obama has boasted not only of his strong support for homosexual activist policy goals, but also transsexual rights ("gender identity" nondiscrimination). Obama supported a pro- transgender homosexual rights bill as an Illinois state senator, and backs the more liberal, transgender- inclusive version of the federal Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA).

Pro-Family Election Results Show America Remains a Center-Right Country
Pro-Family Election Results Show America Remains a Center-Right Country
WASHINGTON, Today /Christian Newswire/ -- Despite what some have suggested, the 2008 general elections were not a repudiation of pro-family values. In key races and constitutional amendments across America, when voters were presented with well defined choices, pro- family values won many clear victories.
Christian Coalition distributed millions of voter guides in targeted states and races all across America, and those voter guides were clearly instrumental in providing voters with critical information regarding candidate's positions on key faith and family issues.
In a historic repudiation of the decision by four judicial tyrants to legalize homosexual "marriages" earlier this year, California voters passed an amendment to their constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Voters in Florida and Arizona overwhelmingly outlawed homosexual "marriages" in their state constitutions as well, becoming the 29th and 30th states to do so (with a national approval average of seventy percent). This is obvious evidence that America remains a culturally center-right country.
The President of the Christian Coalition of America, Roberta Combs said: "Although we are disappointed that the executive branch and legislative branch will be controlled by pro-abortion leadership, we are encouraged with the number of pro-family and pro-life Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle that were either re-elected or elected for the first time. We were also encouraged by the huge victories of many pro-family measures that were on the ballot, especially the passage of state constitutional amendments upholding traditional marriage in California, Florida and Arizona."
Besides the passage of marriage amendments, Arkansas voters banned homosexual couples from adopting children or becoming foster parents; Nebraska voters ended affirmative action; and even in liberal San Francisco, a measure to legalize prostitution was overwhelmingly defeated.

Subpeona List for Tiller's Upcoming Hearing Assures Courtroom Drama
Subpeona List for Tiller's Upcoming Hearing Assures Courtroom Drama
Operation Rescue will announce specific plans Tuesday for prayer and prophetic outreaches in conjunction with next week's hearing
WICHITA, Kansas, November 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Late-term abortionist George R. Tiller is scheduled to appear in court on November 17 for a week-long hearing of his motion to suppress evidence and dismiss 19 criminal charges of illegal late-term abortions brought against him last year by former Attorney General Paul Morrison.
Those already subpoenaed by Tiller's defense include seven high-profile figures, some of which have dominated headlines over the course of the last five years that Tiller has been under investigation.
According to court records, subpoenas have been issued to the following people:
* Former Attorney General Phill Kline, who originally was granted access to approximately 90 heavily redacted abortion records from Tiller and Planned Parenthood after a three-year battle in the Kansas Supreme Court.
* Former Attorney General Paul Morrison, who, after review of the abortion records left by Kline's investigation, filed 19 criminal charges against Tiller that are now the subject of the current action. Morrison resigned in disgrace after a sex and abortion corruption scandal surfaced.
* Judge Richard Anderson, the District Court judge who oversaw the redaction of the abortion records under the rules of the Kansas Supreme Court. He also found probable cause to believe that Tiller had committed 30 other crimes filed by Kline, which were later dismissed at the request of Tiller's friend, District Attorney Nola Foulston, on dubious jurisdictional grounds without being considered on their merits. Judge Anderson is resisting the Tiller subpoena and has filed his own motion to quash it and has requested a protective order.
* Thomas D. Williams, a special investigator in the Kline administration.
* Eric Rucker and Stephen Maxwell, Assistant Attorneys General under Kline who participated in the Tiller investigation.
* Jared Reed, one of the investigators in Kline's office who worked under Thomas Williams.
The court has reserved the entire week for the lengthy hearing where Tiller's attorneys will ask for the evidence of Tiller's criminal conduct contained in the abortion records to be suppressed and the case to be dismissed. If Tiller's motions fail, he faces trial on March 16, 2009.
Operation Rescue plans to monitor the hearings and will announce specific plans tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, for series of prayer and prophetic outreaches in conjunction with next week's hearing.

Ärzte helfen als Fernseh-Produktions-Assistenten: Danke an Ärztin und Schwestern
Ärzte helfen als Fernseh-Produktions-Assistenten:
Danke an Ärztin und Schwestern
Von Andreas Klamm
London/Frankfurt. 11. November 2008. Am Samstag und am Wochenende ist es geschehen. Nach dem es mir gelungen ist aufgrund fehlender Krankenversicherung in Deutschland immer ganz bewusst als Patient einen ganz weiten Bogen um Krankenhäuser zu machen für ganze 19 Monate, hat mich am Samstag ausgerechnet bei wichtigen Fernseh-Aufnahmen in einer für mich fremden Stadt eine seltsame und überraschende Krankheit regelrecht überfallen.
So sehr, dass dadurch die wichtigen Fernseh-Aufnahmen unterbrochen werden mussten. An dieser Stelle danke ich der Ärztin, die mir mit Verständnis geholfen hat und natürlich auch dem Pflege-Personal, das rund um die Uhr knochenharte Arbeit in den Kliniken leistet und oft viel zu selten mal ein liebes Wort des DANKES zu hören bekommt.
Daher DANKE ich ausdrücklich an dieser Stelle.
Vermutlich eher unverhofft, hat die gute und schnelle Hilfe wenigstens dazu geführt, dass ich ein Interview und eine Fernseh-Produktion an der ich immerhin schon fast 12 Monate recherchiere doch noch am Sonntag-Vormittag und Sonntag-Mittag stattfinden konnten, obgleich ich noch geschwächt war.
Es ist richtig zu schreiben, dass damit sich die Ärzte und Krankenschwestern gewissermassen auch als Produktions-Assistenten an einer sehr interessanten Fernseh-Sendung beteiligt haben ohne ihr Wissen, die für viele Menschen wichtig sein wird.
Ohne Übertreibung ist es eine große Herausforderung unter schwersten Umständen Radio- und Fernseh-Produktionen zu produzieren. Denn so merkwürdig es klingt, auch Arbeit, wo auch immer diese geleistet wird, kostet zunächst Geld.
Wer etwa an einem Arbeitsplatz gelangen will, muss immer zuerst einmal Geld investieren, etwa für Fahrtkosten, Gesundheit und eine Vielzahl anderer Voraussetzungen und muss dann in der Hoffnung leben, vielleicht auch irgendwann einmal für die geleistete Arbeit einen angemessenen Lohn oder Gehalt zu erhalten.
Bei der neuen Fernseh-Produktion geht es immerhin um wichtige Themen wie Demokratie, Freiheit, die Freiheit von Presse, Meinungs- Presse- und Informations-Freiheit, sozialer Friedensdienst, die Freiheit von Journalisten und diese Themen sind in einer Demokratie fundamental und elementar wichtig, mindestens ebenso wichtig, wie gute Ärzte und Krankenschwestern, die sponatan auch in einer extremen Ausnahme-Situation helfen.
GOTT sei DANK - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, dass ich in der zweiten Profession stattlich geprüfter Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger und Rettungssanitäter bin, sonst wäre der Rettungsdienst notwendig gewesen und das hätte ich beim besten Willen nicht bezahlen können.
Dazu genügen meine Einnahmen als freiberuflicher Journalist und Autor beim besten Willen nicht.
Die Hilfe war notwendig und ich durfte diese auch erfahren unter sehr schwierigen Umständen.
DANKE!

Buch mit Themen zu den Menschenrechten: Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporter
Buch mit Themen zu den Menschenrechten:
Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporter
New York / London / Ludwigshafen. (intle)./3mnewswire.org/November 8, 2008. Nach mehr als zwei Jahren mühevoller Arbeit ist ein neues Buch des Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autors mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm erschienen. „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporter“, ISBN (-13): 9783837072433, beinhaltet auf 272 Seiten Auszüge aus umfangreichen Dokumentationen zu den Themen Menschenrechte und der Verletzung von Menschenrechten. Bei dem Buch handelt es sich um den ersten Band einer Serie, die im kommenden Jahr eine Fortsetzung finden wird mit dem zweiten Band, der im Frühjahr erscheinen soll.
Das internationale Medienprojekt „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters – Medienprojekt Menschenrechts-Reporter“ wurde durch einen weiteren Autor und den Journalisten und dem Autor Andreas Klamm im Dezember 2006 gegründet. Seit Dezember 2006 konnte ein internationales Team von Journalisten, Autoren und Medien-Produzenten in 33 Ländern mehr als 170 massive Verstöße gegen die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations, UN, www.un.org, News York) dokumentieren. Die Proklamation der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte wird weltweit am 10. Dezember 2008, dem 60. Jahrestag, gefeiert. Das Buch ist als Teil eines Projektes der internationalen Völkerverständigung in englischer und in deutscher Sprache geschrieben. Im Jahr 1986 gründete der Journalist das internationale und alternative nicht kommerzielle Medien-Netzwerk Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty (IBS Liberty, Leeds), das seit 1986 der internationalen Völkerverständigung dient.
In dem Buch wird auch über Gewalt gegenüber kritischen und investigativen Journalisten und über die Ermordung von Journalisten berichtet. „Wichtig war mir nicht nur mit erhobenen Zeigefinger auf die schlimmen Menschenrechts-Verletzungen in fernen Ländern hinzuweisen, sondern auch in Deutschland aufmerksam und kritisch die Geschehen und Entwicklungen in Bezug die Einhaltung oder die massive Verletzung von Menschenrechten zu dokumentieren. Deutschland ist kein Land in dem in Bezug auf die Einhaltung der Allgemeinen Menschenrechte, Milch und Honig fließen. Oder mit anderen deutlichen Worten: Deutschland ist kein Menschenrechts-Paradies. Vermutlich gibt es ein solches Land in der gesamten Welt nicht. Im ersten Band war es nur möglich einen kleinen Teil der zum Teil sehr schlimmen Ereignisse zu dokumentieren. Daher wird im Frühjahr der zweite Band der Serie erscheinen, die auch als Radio- und Fernseh-Sendung produziert wird.“, erklärte der französisch-deutsche Journalist und Autor.
Die Veröffentlichung des Buches hatte sich im Dezember 2007 verzögert, nach dem der Journalist erneut Drohungen erhalten hatte. Bereits im Jahr 2000 erhielt der Journalist, Fernseh-Produzent und weitere Co-Produzenten Drohungen und Mord-Drohungen nach der Ausstrahlung der kritischen Fernseh-Dokumentation „Der 9. November 1938 und heute.“, die sich mit den Verbrechen der Nazi-Terroristen in den Jahren 1933 bis 1945 auseinander setzt.
Zudem hatten drei falsche Zeugen im Herbst 2007 in schriftlichen Anschuldigungen gegenüber dem Journalisten den öffentlichen Vorwurf gemacht, der Journalist habe im Zusammenhang mit der Bericht-Erstattung zum „Fest für obdachlose Menschen in Ludwigshafen am Rhein“ einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von geschätzten 700 Milliarden Euro begangen.
In der regionalen Presse und im Internet wurde der Journalist und Autor, ohne dass je ein öffentliches und ordentliches Gerichts-Verfahren in Ludwigshafen am Rhein stattgefunden hat, bereits im Voraus verurteilt von den regionalen Medien. Die Zuhilfenahme und Rechtsberatung eines Anwaltes wurde dem Journalisten bereits mehrfach verweigert. Auch bei einem Polizei-Verhör im Herbst 2007 wurde dem Journalisten die Hinzuziehung eines Anwaltes in einer anderen Sache verweigert.
Die offenbar falschen Zeugen machten alle drei in ihren schriftlichen Anschuldigungen so wörtlich den Vorwurf: - Zitat -: „Dass immer alle Spenden, die in Deutschland gemacht werden ohne Ausnahme auf das Konto von Andreas Klamm gehen.“ - Zitat Ende - . Gegenüber der Presse wurde mitgeteilt, dass die Kriminalpolizei Ludwigshafen in der Sache des größten Betruges der je in der Geschichte Deutschlands und Europas stattgefunden haben könnte, ermitteln würde. Seitens der Kripo Ludwigshafen gab es hierzu gegenüber unserer Redaktion in einer Anfrage bei der Kripo Ludwigshafen keine offizielle Bestätigung.
Ungeklärt ist zur Zeit noch die Frage wie es dem Journalisten und Autor gelungen sein soll unbemerkt gleichzeitig an alle Spendengelder der Christlich Demokratischen Union (CDU), Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, FDP, Die Linke, andere Parteien, der katholischen und evangelischen Kirche Deutschlands, World Vision Deutschland, von Unicef Deutschland, Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, Deutscher Spenden-Siegel, Ein Herz für Kinder, Kinder unter dem Regenbogen von Radio Regenbogen, der Rettungsorganisationen Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, Malteser Hilfsdienst, Die Johanniter, Arbeiter Samariter Bund (ASB) und weiterer mehrerer tausend Hilfsorganisation in Deutschland zu gelangen.
Mehrere unabhängige Beobachter gelangten nach einigen Prüfung zur Einschätzung dass dies offenbar nicht möglich ist.
„Für eine solche Aktion wäre wohl eine Art universeller Kontozugriff auf alle Spendenkonten aller Parteien und Hilfsorganisationen in Deutschland notwendig. Für wenig glaubhaft halte ich es, dass die Vorsitzenden der beiden großen Volks-Parteien, Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel und der ehemalige Parteivorsitzende und Ministerpräsident des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz, Kurt Beck, nicht über die Bewegungen auf ihren Partei-Konten informiert gewesen sein sollen, sofern diese in der Realität stattgefunden hätten.
Der Vorwurf des Spendenbetruges in Höhe von 700 Milliarden Euro ist absurd und lächerlich. In Anbetracht der Summe müsste sich Josef Ackermann und die Deutsche Bank ja schon fast wie eine arme Kirchenmaus fühlen.
Den deutschen Sicherheits-Behörden, wie dem Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden kann man in Zeiten der Total-Überwachung aller Menschen in Deutschland sicherlich zumindest in der Hinsicht vertrauen, dass Konten-Bewegungen in Höhe von mehreren Millionen oder gar Milliarden Euro sicher den Behörden nicht verborgen bleiben könnten. Die zuständige Staatsanwaltschaft, die Generalbundesanwaltschaft in Karlsruhe und das Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden habe ich nach den Vorwürfen öffentlich zur unverzüglichen Prüfung meiner Konten aufgefordert. Die Ergebnisse stehen noch aus. Zur Zeit beträgt der aktuelle Konto-Stand auf meinem Konto etwas weniger als 1 Euro.
Den falschen Betrugsvorwurf halte ich nicht für witzig. Mal ehrlich, für wahrscheinlich halten sie einen Vorwurf, dass sich der gesuchte Top-Terrorist Osama bin Laden zur Zeit als Gast der Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel bei Tee und Plätzchen in bilateralen Gesprächen im Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin befindet. Wer würde so einen Vorwurf glauben schenken? Wie wahrscheinlich soll es dann wohl sein, dass ein kranker, armer und behinderter Journalist durch die Aufforderung armen Menschen in Ludwigshafen zu helfen, einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von 700 Milliarden begangen haben könnte. Die falschen Vorwürfe sind ernst und schlimm. Daher erhalten 100 obdachlose Menschen in schwerster Not keine Hilfe und Spenden mehr und zudem befinde ich mich nachweisbar öffentlich bekannt, mit chronischen Erkrankungen und körperlichen Behinderungen auch in schwerster Not. Das konnten inzwischen auch die Beobachter internationaler Menschenrechts-Organisationen, dazu zählt auch Amnesty international, feststellen. Dem Mord geht bekanntlich der Rufmord voraus.
Wenn man Menschen, auch Kindern und Frauen in schwerster Not vorsätzlich jede vernünftige Form der finanziellen Hilfe vorenthält, die notwendig wäre um die Menschen mit Nahrung, Kleidung und medizinisch zu versorgen, dann sollte man das auch offen nennen was es ist: Vorsätzlicher Mord mit besten Wissen aus Habgier und niedrigen Beweggründen.
Erfreulicherweise bin ich kein Jurist und kein Richter, sondern nur Journalist, Rundfunk-Journalist und Autor. Es fällt mir schwer zu verstehen, wie doch nicht wenige Menschen mit so großer Freude erfüllt werden, wenn diese arme, kranke und vermeintlich schwache Schutz-bedürftige Kinder, Frauen und Männer in Not vernichten und töten.
Es geht mir und das betone ich ausdrücklich, nicht darum zu urteilen oder zu verurteilen, sondern auf eine wirkungsvolle Änderung des Sozial-Verhaltens vieler Menschen in das Gute hinzuwirken. Gutes Sozial-Verhalten von Menschen bedeutet für mich die Toleranz, Geduld, Offenheit, Dialog, Kommunikation, Gerechtigkeit, Frieden, Liebe, Mitgefühl und wenn es notwendig ist auch kranke oder schwächere Menschen in der Gesamtheit aller Menschen auch finanziell mitzutragen.
Da sich mir bekannt zur Zeit weitere Menschen in schwerster Not befinden und um das Überleben kämpfen bleibt mir nichts anderes, als meine Kritik so offen und so deutlich auszusprechen auch dann wenn das reiche und andere Menschen als Provokation, sicher nicht ganz ohne Grund, empfinden sollten.
Vor dem Richterstuhl Gottes muss sich jeder einzelne Mensch dieser Erde ohne Ausnahme verantworten. Es werden sicher alle Dinge an das Licht gelangen. Die Wahrheit wird nicht verborgen bleiben, da bin ich mir sicher.“ ergänzte Andreas Klamm.
Im Oktober 2007 stellte der Journalist und Autor beim U.S.Department for Justice in Washington, D.C. in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika einen Antrag auf den Wechsel der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft in die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft nach Artikel 15 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte. „An dem Wunsch des Wechsels der Staatsbürgerschaft halte ich fest. Es handelt sich um ein Allgemeines Menschenrecht.
Zu Deutschland habe ich kaum noch irgendeine Beziehung. Dieses Land ist Gott sei Dank und definitiv nicht mein Land auch dann wenn ich hier nicht wenige Steuern bezahlt habe und immer noch bezahle. Es fällt mir schwer mich in diesem Land ausdrücklich gegen meinen Willen aufzuhalten. Das hat mehrere Gründe. Zum einen bin ich von Geburt an französisch-deutscher Bürger und zum anderen denke ich seit mehr als 20 Jahren kosmopolitisch und weniger national.
Meine Großmutter Martha Kolacz wechselte bereits im Jahr 1950 ihre Staatsbürgerschaft und verließ Deutschland für immer. Sie hatte gute Gründe nicht eine einzige Sekunde nach Deutschland zurück zu kehren obgleich es Freunde gab, die sogar für ein Flugticket an ihrem ehemaligen Arbeitsplatz sammelten, damit sie ihre Tochter, meine Mutter, in Deutschland besuchen könnte.
Dazu ist es nicht gekommen und meine Großmutter ist vor einigen Jahren von uns gegangen. Sie wurde in der australischen Stadt Melbourne beerdigt. Mich zieht es mehr nach Amerika in die Stadt, die nie schläft, nach New York und in der zudem viele Menschen leben und wirken, die kosmopolitisch denken. Im Allgemeinen ist mir meine Großmutter ein großes Vorbild.“, sagte der Journalist und Autor.

Nach mehr als zwei Jahren mühevoller Arbeit ist ein neues Buch des Journalisten, Rundfunk-Journalisten und Autors mehrerer Bücher, Andreas Klamm erschienen. „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporter“, ISBN (-13): 9783837072433, beinhaltet auf 272 Seiten Auszüge aus umfangreichen Dokumentationen zu den Themen Menschenrechte und der Verletzung von Menschenrechten. Bei dem Buch handelt es sich um den ersten Band einer Serie, die im kommenden Jahr eine Fortsetzung finden wird mit dem zweiten Band, der im Frühjahr erscheinen soll.
Das internationale Medienprojekt „Liberty and Peace NOW! Human Rights Reporters – Medienprojekt Menschenrechts-Reporter“ wurde durch einen weiteren Autor und den Journalisten und dem Autor Andreas Klamm im Dezember 2006 gegründet. Seit Dezember 2006 konnte ein internationales Team von Journalisten, Autoren und Medien-Produzenten in 33 Ländern mehr als 170 massive Verstöße gegen die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen (United Nations, UN, www.un.org, News York) dokumentieren. Die Proklamation der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte wird weltweit am 10. Dezember 2008, dem 60. Jahrestag, gefeiert. Das Buch ist als Teil eines Projektes der internationalen Völkerverständigung in englischer und in deutscher Sprache geschrieben. Im Jahr 1986 gründete der Journalist das internationale und alternative nicht kommerzielle Medien-Netzwerk Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty (IBS Liberty, Leeds), das seit 1986 der internationalen Völkerverständigung dient.
In dem Buch wird auch über Gewalt gegenüber kritischen und investigativen Journalisten und über die Ermordung von Journalisten berichtet. „Wichtig war mir nicht nur mit erhobenen Zeigefinger auf die schlimmen Menschenrechts-Verletzungen in fernen Ländern hinzuweisen, sondern auch in Deutschland aufmerksam und kritisch die Geschehen und Entwicklungen in Bezug die Einhaltung oder die massive Verletzung von Menschenrechten zu dokumentieren. Deutschland ist kein Land in dem in Bezug auf die Einhaltung der Allgemeinen Menschenrechte, Milch und Honig fließen. Oder mit anderen deutlichen Worten: Deutschland ist kein Menschenrechts-Paradies. Vermutlich gibt es ein solches Land in der gesamten Welt nicht. Im ersten Band war es nur möglich einen kleinen Teil der zum Teil sehr schlimmen Ereignisse zu dokumentieren. Daher wird im Frühjahr der zweite Band der Serie erscheinen, die auch als Radio- und Fernseh-Sendung produziert wird.“, erklärte der französisch-deutsche Journalist und Autor.
Die Veröffentlichung des Buches hatte sich im Dezember 2007 verzögert, nach dem der Journalist erneut Drohungen erhalten hatte. Bereits im Jahr 2000 erhielt der Journalist, Fernseh-Produzent und weitere Co-Produzenten Drohungen und Mord-Drohungen nach der Ausstrahlung der kritischen Fernseh-Dokumentation „Der 9. November 1938 und heute.“, die sich mit den Verbrechen der Nazi-Terroristen in den Jahren 1933 bis 1945 auseinander setzt.
Zudem hatten drei falsche Zeugen im Herbst 2007 in schriftlichen Anschuldigungen gegenüber dem Journalisten den öffentlichen Vorwurf gemacht, der Journalist habe im Zusammenhang mit der Bericht-Erstattung zum „Fest für obdachlose Menschen in Ludwigshafen am Rhein“ einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von geschätzten 700 Milliarden Euro begangen.
In der regionalen Presse und im Internet wurde der Journalist und Autor, ohne dass je ein öffentliches und ordentliches Gerichts-Verfahren in Ludwigshafen am Rhein stattgefunden hat, bereits im Voraus verurteilt von den regionalen Medien. Die Zuhilfenahme und Rechtsberatung eines Anwaltes wurde dem Journalisten bereits mehrfach verweigert. Auch bei einem Polizei-Verhör im Herbst 2007 wurde dem Journalisten die Hinzuziehung eines Anwaltes in einer anderen Sache verweigert.
Die offenbar falschen Zeugen machten alle drei in ihren schriftlichen Anschuldigungen so wörtlich den Vorwurf: - Zitat -: „Dass immer alle Spenden, die in Deutschland gemacht werden ohne Ausnahme auf das Konto von Andreas Klamm gehen.“ - Zitat Ende - . Gegenüber der Presse wurde mitgeteilt, dass die Kriminalpolizei Ludwigshafen in der Sache des größten Betruges der je in der Geschichte Deutschlands und Europas stattgefunden haben könnte, ermitteln würde. Seitens der Kripo Ludwigshafen gab es hierzu gegenüber unserer Redaktion in einer Anfrage bei der Kripo Ludwigshafen keine offizielle Bestätigung.
Ungeklärt ist zur Zeit noch die Frage wie es dem Journalisten und Autor gelungen sein soll unbemerkt gleichzeitig an alle Spendengelder der Christlich Demokratischen Union (CDU), Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, FDP, Die Linke, andere Parteien, der katholischen und evangelischen Kirche Deutschlands, World Vision Deutschland, von Unicef Deutschland, Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, Deutscher Spenden-Siegel, Ein Herz für Kinder, Kinder unter dem Regenbogen von Radio Regenbogen, der Rettungsorganisationen Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, Malteser Hilfsdienst, Die Johanniter, Arbeiter Samariter Bund (ASB) und weiterer mehrerer tausend Hilfsorganisation in Deutschland zu gelangen.
Mehrere unabhängige Beobachter gelangten nach einigen Prüfung zur Einschätzung dass dies offenbar nicht möglich ist.
„Für eine solche Aktion wäre wohl eine Art universeller Kontozugriff auf alle Spendenkonten aller Parteien und Hilfsorganisationen in Deutschland notwendig. Für wenig glaubhaft halte ich es, dass die Vorsitzenden der beiden großen Volks-Parteien, Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel und der ehemalige Parteivorsitzende und Ministerpräsident des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz, Kurt Beck, nicht über die Bewegungen auf ihren Partei-Konten informiert gewesen sein sollen, sofern diese in der Realität stattgefunden hätten.
Der Vorwurf des Spendenbetruges in Höhe von 700 Milliarden Euro ist absurd und lächerlich. In Anbetracht der Summe müsste sich Josef Ackermann und die Deutsche Bank ja schon fast wie eine arme Kirchenmaus fühlen.
Den deutschen Sicherheits-Behörden, wie dem Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden kann man in Zeiten der Total-Überwachung aller Menschen in Deutschland sicherlich zumindest in der Hinsicht vertrauen, dass Konten-Bewegungen in Höhe von mehreren Millionen oder gar Milliarden Euro sicher den Behörden nicht verborgen bleiben könnten. Die zuständige Staatsanwaltschaft, die Generalbundesanwaltschaft in Karlsruhe und das Bundeskriminalamt in Wiesbaden habe ich nach den Vorwürfen öffentlich zur unverzüglichen Prüfung meiner Konten aufgefordert. Die Ergebnisse stehen noch aus. Zur Zeit beträgt der aktuelle Konto-Stand auf meinem Konto etwas weniger als 1 Euro.
Den falschen Betrugsvorwurf halte ich nicht für witzig. Mal ehrlich, für wahrscheinlich halten sie einen Vorwurf, dass sich der gesuchte Top-Terrorist Osama bin Laden zur Zeit als Gast der Bundeskanzlerin Dr. Angela Merkel bei Tee und Plätzchen in bilateralen Gesprächen im Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin befindet. Wer würde so einen Vorwurf glauben schenken? Wie wahrscheinlich soll es dann wohl sein, dass ein kranker, armer und behinderter Journalist durch die Aufforderung armen Menschen in Ludwigshafen zu helfen, einen Spenden-Betrug in Höhe von 700 Milliarden begangen haben könnte. Die falschen Vorwürfe sind ernst und schlimm. Daher erhalten 100 obdachlose Menschen in schwerster Not keine Hilfe und Spenden mehr und zudem befinde ich mich nachweisbar öffentlich bekannt, mit chronischen Erkrankungen und körperlichen Behinderungen auch in schwerster Not. Das konnten inzwischen auch die Beobachter internationaler Menschenrechts-Organisationen, dazu zählt auch Amnesty international, feststellen. Dem Mord geht bekanntlich der Rufmord voraus.
Wenn man Menschen, auch Kindern und Frauen in schwerster Not vorsätzlich jede vernünftige Form der finanziellen Hilfe vorenthält, die notwendig wäre um die Menschen mit Nahrung, Kleidung und medizinisch zu versorgen, dann sollte man das auch offen nennen was es ist: Vorsätzlicher Mord mit besten Wissen aus Habgier und niedrigen Beweggründen.
Erfreulicherweise bin ich kein Jurist und kein Richter, sondern nur Journalist, Rundfunk-Journalist und Autor. Es fällt mir schwer zu verstehen, wie doch nicht wenige Menschen mit so großer Freude erfüllt werden, wenn diese arme, kranke und vermeintlich schwache Schutz-bedürftige Kinder, Frauen und Männer in Not vernichten und töten.
Es geht mir und das betone ich ausdrücklich, nicht darum zu urteilen oder zu verurteilen, sondern auf eine wirkungsvolle Änderung des Sozial-Verhaltens vieler Menschen in das Gute hinzuwirken. Gutes Sozial-Verhalten von Menschen bedeutet für mich die Toleranz, Geduld, Offenheit, Dialog, Kommunikation, Gerechtigkeit, Frieden, Liebe, Mitgefühl und wenn es notwendig ist auch kranke oder schwächere Menschen in der Gesamtheit aller Menschen auch finanziell mitzutragen.
Da sich mir bekannt zur Zeit weitere Menschen in schwerster Not befinden und um das Überleben kämpfen bleibt mir nichts anderes, als meine Kritik so offen und so deutlich auszusprechen auch dann wenn das reiche und andere Menschen als Provokation, sicher nicht ganz ohne Grund, empfinden sollten.
Vor dem Richterstuhl Gottes muss sich jeder einzelne Mensch dieser Erde ohne Ausnahme verantworten. Es werden sicher alle Dinge an das Licht gelangen. Die Wahrheit wird nicht verborgen bleiben, da bin ich mir sicher.“ ergänzte Andreas Klamm.
Im Oktober 2007 stellte der Journalist und Autor beim U.S.Department for Justice in Washington, D.C. in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika einen Antrag auf den Wechsel der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft in die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft nach Artikel 15 der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte. „An dem Wunsch des Wechsels der Staatsbürgerschaft halte ich fest. Es handelt sich um ein Allgemeines Menschenrecht.
Zu Deutschland habe ich kaum noch irgendeine Beziehung. Dieses Land ist Gott sei Dank und definitiv nicht mein Land auch dann wenn ich hier nicht wenige Steuern bezahlt habe und immer noch bezahle. Es fällt mir schwer mich in diesem Land ausdrücklich gegen meinen Willen aufzuhalten. Das hat mehrere Gründe. Zum einen bin ich von Geburt an französisch-deutscher Bürger und zum anderen denke ich seit mehr als 20 Jahren kosmopolitisch und weniger national.
Meine Großmutter Martha Kolacz wechselte bereits im Jahr 1950 ihre Staatsbürgerschaft und verließ Deutschland für immer. Sie hatte gute Gründe nicht eine einzige Sekunde nach Deutschland zurück zu kehren obgleich es Freunde gab, die sogar für ein Flugticket an ihrem ehemaligen Arbeitsplatz sammelten, damit sie ihre Tochter, meine Mutter, in Deutschland besuchen könnte.
Dazu ist es nicht gekommen und meine Großmutter ist vor einigen Jahren von uns gegangen. Sie wurde in der australischen Stadt Melbourne beerdigt. Mich zieht es mehr nach Amerika in die Stadt, die nie schläft, nach New York und in der zudem viele Menschen leben und wirken, die kosmopolitisch denken. Im Allgemeinen ist mir meine Großmutter ein großes Vorbild.“, sagte der Journalist und Autor.
