The Problem with the Constitution Party

From the archive… The Problem with the Constitution Party I agree with the Constitution Parties stance on just about everything. However, I feel that the CP misses the essence of the constitution. They forget how it was formed in the first place – through compromise. The CP is unwilling to reach out to large percentage of the population because they refuse to build any sort of broad based...

Our Current Economic Crisis

It is important to understand why our economy is not doing well. I wanted to share with you some videos that help explain why we are in this mess. Unfortunately our choices are either paying the price now with a recession or putting the recession off by getting in more debt. The recession might turn to a depression so it’s a tough call. Problem Bush is wrong. His $700 Billion bailout is not taxpayer...

Conclusion & Full Abolition of Abortion PDF

Download the PDF If all of these characters have one thing in common, it is devotion. We know little of true devotion today.

One of the things that most helped the war for independence was the host of part time volunteers called minutemen. These men were ready at a moments notice to show up where they were needed. They were willing to do anything even lay down their lives if need be. If you are not called to serve full time...

The Architect & Baby Steps (Abolition of Abortion)

The Architect is the one that works behind the scenes, strategizing and keeping everyone working together. Not being in the middle of the fray helps the Architect keep a healthy perspective. For the Abolition Movement one of the Architects was James Stephen . In 1806, roughly 20 years after Wilberforce started his floor fight, the abolition movement had made little to no progress. Stephen came up...

Ted Turner gives millions if not billions...

Hill Agitator (Abolition of Abortion)

The agitator is the tireless force for change. This person, more than anyone else, is willing to sacrifice her entire life to see change come about on Capital Hill. William Wilberforce, John Adams, and Patrick Henry are great examples of effective agitators. If we had three words to describe these men they would be passion, courage and dedication. Unlike the Public Figure, the hill agitator is not...

Floor Champion (Abolition of Abortion)

The Floor Champion fights on the congressional floor for the actual legislative change. While the Public Figure operates in the community influencing the opinions of the people, the Floor Champion fights in Congress. We need a Senate that will refuse to confirm pro-choice judges. The revolutionary war had Floor Champions in every state. Richard Henry Lee served as a Floor Champion in the Virginia...
