Obama to Campaign for Harry Reid
We are attempting to confirm reports that Senator Reid responded to the gesture by saying "that's real white of him."
Dr. Alveda King to Planned Parenthood: Stop Lying About Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Every year Planned Parenthood tries to imply that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would approve of what it does today because he received an award from the organization 44 years ago," said Dr. King. "Every year they lie. My Uncle stood for equal protection and non-violence -- two concepts that Planned Parenthood violates every day by being the nation's largest abortion business."
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, stated that Planned Parenthood is no stranger to falsehoods. "Videotape reveals that Planned Parenthood doesn't tell the truth to women and doesn't tell legal authorities about possible criminal activity," said Fr. Pavone. "Its implied claims about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are just more of Planned Parenthood's stock in trade -- deceit."
"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did not attend the event where his award was presented. We don't even know if he wrote the words of the acceptance speech that was read at the banquet," added Dr. King. "In 1966, abortion on demand was unthinkable. To imply that Uncle Martin's receipt of that award constitutes his endorsement of what Planned Parenthood engages in today -- the destruction of human lives -- is an outrage."

Bush Responsible for Obama and Brown Victories, Says Obama
Obama to Senate: Don't "Jam" Through Health Care Until Brown Seated
From ABC News
By Karen TraversPresident Obama warned Democrats in Congress today not to "jam" a health care reform bill through now that they've lost their commanding majority in the Senate, and said they must wait for newly elected Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown to be sworn into office.
The president also said the same voter anger that swept him into office in 2008 carried Brown into office on a stunning upset victory Tuesday night over heavily favored Democrat Martha Coakley.

Churches Across UK to Tune in to 3-Minute Warning Video This Sunday
Proposed Legislation greatest threat to "people's private expression of faith since the Reformation"
Opposition is being spearheaded by Christian Concern for our Nation which has called the legislation "the biggest state intervention into people's private expression of their faith since the Reformation."
Director Andrea Minichiello-Williams points out that if the legislation is approved, churches will not be able to advertise for a "Christian youth worker", but just a "youth worker". The role of worship leader, often pivotal in any church, would no longer be restricted to Christians.
Williams commented, "Christians and Churches across this nation need to be aware that this bill has enormous implications for their day-to-day functioning. If it is passed in its present form, the Equality Bill will result in churches and Christian organisations having to recruit people to key positions who are unsympathetic to the need to reflect Christ and to worship Him through their work. That will in turn affect the way in which Jesus Christ is perceived by those served by the Church and its ministries."
The video to be seen in churches throughout the United Kindom follows:
British Christians are also urged to sign David Skinner's anti-Equality Bill petition on the No 10 Downing Street website, which again can be accessed via www.ccfon.org.
What Was Romney Doing at the Party?
But Martha Coakley was not the only loser last night.
There was a shameless, political opportunist who crashed the party but who will also feel the voters' wrath. Most advocates of ObamaCare readily admit that the plan is based on a universal health care plan implemented in Massachusetts known as Commonwealth Care. That plan is the legacy of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, and in the view of Democrats and Republicans in Massachusetts, it has been a colossal failure and is bankrupting the state. Even the state's Treasurer, a Democrat, has called the plan "unsustainable." More disturbing to many conservatives, the plan provides $50 abortions and is moving toward health care rationing. In fact, Governor Romney, while claiming to be pro-life, unconstitutionally established a permanent government seat on the state-run health care board for an unelected representative of Planned Parenthood.
Massachusetts has a constitution that forbids judges from even hearing challenges to marriage law and policy. In defiance of the law, Romney urged the legislature to legalize homosexual “marriage." When they refused to do so, he illegally ordered justices of the peace to perform same-sex “marriages.” As most of the nation's leading conservatives said in a nationally published newspaper ad in 2008:
"When a chief executive can violate multiple articles of the oldest functioning constitution in the world and disobey statutes he solemnly swore to defend and execute faithfully, then blame judges who never even asked him to intervene, he mocks the principle of limited government and the separation of powers. He robs Americans of their unalienable right to self-government, for which so many soldiers, sailors and airmen have died."

South Carolina Senate Strikes a Blow for Liberty
Though symbolic, we hope that the House will quickly add their support to this resolution which could lead to the nullification of ObamaCare, should socialized healthcare be foisted on South Carolina by the Democrat Congress.
May this resolution mark a new-found determination by South Carolina's General Assembly to oppose ALL unconstitutional mandates flowing from the federal government. The heart of this reaffirmation of states' rights under the United States Constitution says:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the State of South Carolina sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved that it is the policy of the State of South Carolina that:
No law shall interfere with the right of a person to be treated by or receive services from a health care provider of that person's choice;
No law shall restrict a person's freedom of choice of private health care systems or private health care plans of any type;
No law shall interfere with a person's or an entity's right to pay directly for lawful medical services; and
No law shall impose a tax, penalty, or fine, of any type, for choosing a health care provider, to obtain or decline health care coverage or for participation in any particular health care system or plan.
Be it further resolved that it is the policy of the State of South Carolina that the Attorney General will challenge the constitutionality of any provision enacted by the United States Congress that would violate any of the policies established by this resolution and join with other states that are like-minded to make such a challenge.
Be it further resolved that no state agency, agent, department, instrumentality, or subdivision shall cooperate or participate in any way with any mandate passed by Congress upon notification by the Attorney General that the mandate has been successfully challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction, and further provided that there is not an order to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the Citizens of South Carolina and the State of South Carolina freedom from all laws and mandates that violate the rights granted under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved that this resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as South Carolina's agent, to cease and desist immediately all mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal government's constitutionally delegated powers.
