"Justice Sunday" - Bending judges to the will of theocrats

[derby378]

Read this notice carefully. Is this a possible violation of Federal law??

Dear Friend:

A day of decision is upon us. Whether it was the legalization of abortion, the banning of school prayer, the expulsion of the 10 Commandments from public spaces, or the starvation of Terri Schiavo, decisions by the courts have not only changed our nation's course, but even led to the taking of human lives. As the liberal, anti-Christian dogma of the left has been repudiated in almost every recent election, the courts have become the last great bastion for liberalism.

For years activist courts, aided by liberal interest groups like the ACLU, have been quietly working under the veil of the judiciary, like thieves in the night, to rob us of our Christian heritage and our religious freedoms. Federal judges have systematically grabbed power, usurping the constitutional authority that resides in the other two branches of government and, ultimately, in the American people.

We now have a President who is committed to nominate judicial candidates who are not activists, but strict constructionists -- judges who will simply interpret the Constitution as it was written. We now have a majority in the U.S. Senate that will confirm these nominees. However, there is a radical minority that has launched an unprecedented filibuster against these outstanding men and women.

Many of these nominees to the all-important appellate court level are being blocked, not because they haven't paid their taxes or because they have used drugs or because they have criminal records or for any other reason that would disqualify them from public service; rather, they are being blocked because they are people of faith and moral conviction. These are people whose only offense is to say that abortion is wrong or that marriage should be between one man and one woman.

Only 51 votes are needed to approve these nominees and most of these candidates, if not all, would receive more then 51 votes if a vote were held on the Senate floor. But a radical minority in the Senate is using the filibuster to block an up or down vote on the Senate floor. They are requiring a super majority, 60 votes, to proceed on these nominees. This liberal minority does not respect the will of the people: they want judge-made law because our elected officials will not give them the social anarchy they demand.

The Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist of Tennessee, is committed to returning Constitutional order to the Senate by requiring an up-or-down vote on these nominees. To do this, he urgently needs the help of every "values voter." Without doubt, this will be the most important vote cast in the United States Senate in this term. If this effort fails, the best we can hope for are likely to be mediocre judges who meet the approval of Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

We must stop this unprecedented filibuster of people of faith. Join us on Sunday, April 24, as we observe Justice Sunday. On that date, just around the corner, FRC will host a nationwide, live simulcast to engage values voters in this all-important issue of reining in our out-of-control courts.

The simulcast will originate from Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky. Participants joining me include Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Al Mohler, Chuck Colson, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.

For more information on how your church can participate or how you can find a venue to participate in this critically important simulcast, click the links on website below. This is an event you won't want to miss, an historic debate we can't afford to lose!

2. Can you show a blatanly political ad during a church service?

Is this going to be the sermon parishioners are treated to? If so, each church that broadcasts this should be stripped of their tax-exempt status.

3. Not if you want to remain Tax Exempt. N/T

4. This propaganda makes me sick. Unfortunately,

thousands of people will fall for it. What they propose is against the Constitution. They are only furthering the takeover of the Republican party.

5. this is so irresponsible

For years activist courts, aided by liberal interest groups like the ACLU, have been quietly working under the veil of the judiciary, like thieves in the night, to rob us of our Christian heritage and our religious freedoms.

It will only take a handful of unbalanced religious extremists to take this message to heart and begin a campaign of violence against judges. It's like a call to jihad, isn't it?

6. Henry VI (Part 2): "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

The one glimmer of hope we have is that public sentiment is turning against DeLay for overplaying his rants against judges. Let's cross our fingers...

7. Jesus H. Frist

(to borrow First Draft's wonderful headline)...

Time to write to the Senate Majority Leader and ask him if he's going to step up and take responsibility if he gets a judge killed somewhere.

Did you see Chuck Schumer's comments? They're right on the money and deserve to be shared with a wider audiences...

[Mr.Green93]

8. Could we get injunctions

and stop these things from being passed out?

[derby378]

9. That's what I wanna know

We need a "pre-emptive strike" against pastors who try to force this crap down their parishioners' throats. It would be so much easier than pickets, protests, disrupting services, etc.

10. While we're at it...

Here's something every evangelical must be forced to watch:
