Dr. Alveda King to Planned Parenthood: Stop Lying About Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has responded to Planned Parenthood's King Day press release linking the work of the abortion business to the civil rights leader.

"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."

Obama to Senate: Don't "Jam" Through Health Care Until Brown Seated

From ABC News
By Karen Travers

President 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"

Churches across the UK will interrupt their worship this Sunday to watch a three-minute warning video about a so-called Equality Bill, promoted by the Labour government and due to be voted on in the House of Commons the following day.

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?

In the most unlikely of places, Martha Coakley was the victim of voters' anger over state and federal governments that have over-reached in promoting a radical, immoral, and anti-Christian agenda, in their disregard for constitutional mandates, and in the massive debt and oppressive taxes being imposed on the working men and women of the nation.

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."

The former Governor of Massachusetts may have forced his way into last night's celebration, but when this deceitful phony is exposed for having significantly advanced sodomy-based "marriage" and the culture of death, he will be thrown out on his ear by a newly aroused and principled conservative movement.

South Carolina Senate Strikes a Blow for Liberty

This is a great day for liberty, and we thank and commend the South Carolina Senate for their support today of the sovereignty resolution (S.424).

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.

Gov. Chris Christie Declares 'Change Has Arrived' in His Inaugural Speech

From Home News Tribune
By Rick Malwitz

Taking the office at a time when New Jersey is facing historic economic challenges, Gov. Chris Christie declared in his inaugural address, "Today change has arrived.''

He made quite clear, as he became the 55th governor of New Jersey, that change is needed to turn around a state with enormous economic woes.

His theme: Change, change, change.

"Our economy is struggling. Our budget is in deep deficit and our state is losing ground. Our people are dispirited and wondering if our best days are truly still ahead of us,'' he said.

"I understand the task before me and I am well aware of your expectations for me and this government. You voted loudly and clearly for change and you have entrusted us with what may be our last, best hope for a stronger New Jersey,'' he said.

"New Jersey, you voted for change and today change has arrived - right here, right now.''

Republican Gov. Chris Christie interrupted his inaugural address to reach across the political aisle and clasp hands with Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, D-Essex.

The gesture drew the loudest applause during his address.

"Let us shake hands as a symbol for our citizens of all that is possible in a future that demands that who gets the credit finally takes a back seat to doing something worth getting credit for,'' Christie said.

For the first time since Gov. Tom Kean took office in 1982, a Republican chief executive will govern with Democrats controlling both houses of the legislature.

Democrats have a 23-17 margin in the senate and 47-33 in the assembly.

Bret Schundler, who lost the governor's race to Jim McGreevey in 2001, is confident Christie can woo Democrats.

"He is a very charming guy. He will make connections with the Democrats to get things done,'' said Schundler, Christie's nominee to be Commissioner of Education.

In attendance yesterday was Michael Steele, Republican National Committee Chairman, who called the inauguration of a Republican governor in New Jersey, "A big deal, a very big deal.''

Coupled with the victory in November of a Republican in the Virginia governor's race - and anticipated success Massachusetts, where a conservative is poised to win the seat vacated by the death of U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy - a message is being sent to Washington, Steele said.

"This sends something very loud to the administration (of President Barack Obama),'' Steele said.

While he governs as a member of the minority party here, Christie made it clear he is in charge of the state's executive branch.

"Whether you voted for me or not, whether we have agreed or disagreed in the past - today, I am your governor. Young or old, Republican or Democrat, rich or poor, regardless of color or heritage, I promise you this: I will work every waking hour of every day for a better life for all of our citizens,'' he declared. While emphasizing his theme of change, the new governor said, "The era of runaway spending and higher and higher taxes has not worked. We have the largest budget deficit per person of any State in the Union. We have the highest tax rates in the nation. We have the highest unemployment rate in over a quarter century.''

He did not elaborate on specific plans to reduce taxes and spending.

"Our economy is stagnant and our people are suffering under the burden government has placed on them,'' he said.

"Today, a new era of lower taxes and higher growth will begin. The era of broken schools and broken streets and broken dreams in our cities has not worked. Too many urban school districts have failed despite massive spending per pupil,'' he said, while calling on the state to embrace school choice and charter schools.

"I stand here today as governor supremely confident that we are up to the challenge. Why am I confident? Because we have the tools to grow again. Because we have resources that few other states can match,'' he said.

While confident in himself, he said, "We are not a state of passive observers. We are a state of builders and doers.'' "This is not a time for just another season of cynicism. With a state in crisis, we must cast aside blame and embrace action. One person can make a difference. I will make a difference. And each of you will make a difference too, if you believe in a better tomorrow,'' he concluded.
