No Surprise — LGBT Super PAC for Obama

Becky Yeh – OneNewsNow California correspondent

A family activist says it’s no surprise that a California LGBT super PAC wants another term of President Barack Obama.

Trending groups known as super political action committees (PACs), which came about in 2010, are able to raise unlimited monies for political causes. One was recently created to get President Obama re-elected in November. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Pride-LGBT, a newly formed San Francisco-based super PAC, will seek to reach the lesbian, “gay,” bisexual, and transgender community through social media platforms on behalf of Obama. The group’s founder, Marcus Lovingood, says that demographic is “so incredibly strong” that if empowered more, it will be “engaged and work together on a larger scale.”

Randy Thomasson of SaveCalifornia.com is not surprised.

“He has done everything [for the LGBT community] except [give them] the word ‘marriage,’ but he is threatening inside to go with that in the future,” Thomasson offers. “And so it’s no surprise whatsoever that the homosexual, bisexual, transsexual activists have said Let’s raise money for Barack Obama. He’s our guy. He does our values. Well, that’s certainly true.”

Lovingood also told the Chronicle that the LGBT community could really change the outcome of the election in November, adding that President Obama has done more for those individuals in the past four years than any president has done in 25 years.

The group wants to increase voter registration and grassroots efforts, and it hopes to raise $1 million by June.

Obama Warning to Supreme Court ‘Unprecedented’

Why do conservatives allow this argument to stand without showing the MANY MANY situations where the court has OVERTURNED conservative legislation enacted by the “democratically elected” body?

Mr. President, sir,….uh the knife cuts both ways!!!!    Have you EVER complained ONCE when duly passed pro-life legislation was struck down?????

It cuts both ways and moreso against conservative bills….

GOP: Obama Warning to Supreme Court ‘Unprecedented’

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 11:48 AM

By: Jim Meyers

Republicans have taken sharp issue with President Barack Obama’s warning to the Supreme Court on the Obamacare case, charging that the president is seeking to “intimidate” the high court.

Obama warned on Monday that a rejection of his healthcare reform law would be an act of “judicial activism” that Republicans claim to oppose.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said it is a “fantasy” to think “every law you like is constitutional and every Supreme Court decision you don’t is ‘activist.’”

“Judicial activism or restraint is not measured by which side wins but by whether the court correctly applied the law.”

GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, in an interview with Fox News, said an activist court is one that “departs” from the Constitution and legislates from the bench. In this case, he maintained, the judges simply are weighing whether a law is constitutional.

“That will not be an activist court — that will be a court following the Constitution,” Romney said.

Obama said at a news conference with the leaders of Canada and Mexico on Monday: “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.

“And I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this court will recognize that and not take that step.”

Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, responded by telling Fox News Radio: “Nothing could be more appropriate for the Supreme Court to decide than whether a bill is constitutional or not.

“It is not unprecedented at all for the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutional; they do that on a regular basis so it’s not unprecedented at all. What is unprecedented is the president of the United States trying to intimidate the Supreme Court.”

The court spent three days hearing arguments last week in four separate challenges to Obamacare.

A central challenge was over the individual mandate — the requirement that Americans buy health insurance. Republicans say the mandate is unconstitutional and the government cannot force people to buy insurance.

The court is expected to issue formal opinions in the case by late June.

Poll Watching and Election Fraud

The Republican Renaissance Group (RRG) is looking for good people who are willing to be trained to protect the integrity of the voting process.

If you suspect any cheating at the polls in your district, and you are interested in helping to police the potential problem, this is a great opportunity for you.  The RRG will be in a high profile district in the City of Chicago during the March 20th primary with 200 volunteer poll watchers.  They hope this will serve two purposes.

1. stop the cheating in this high profile primary on March 20^th
   
2. train people to become poll watchers & trainers

You will come away with the knowledge in poll watching to train others and stop nefarious campaigns from stealing the election from the voters! Hotel, meals and excellent training will be provided from seasoned election attorneys.  

Here is the game plan: You will arrive the afternoon before the primary (March 19^th).  We will share a meal together and get completely trained at the hotel the night before.  You will be given all of the training and tools you need to be, and to train, effective poll watchers.

The morning of March 20^th,  vans  will take you to your destination.  All day long we will have attorneys floating throughout the district in the vans to respond to any calls that poll watchers make to them.  We will provide lunches.

We will also provide a debriefing at the hotel after the polls close, and will provide a second night at the hotel for those who want to stay and drive home the following day.

Personal safety is not an issue in this district.  The neighborhoods are well kept and have very decent people living there.  It is however, a high profile race and will be  GREAT TRAINING GROUNDS for the November and future elections.

Carol Davis is organizing the “Team 200″ volunteer program.  We have some excellent attorneys organizing the attorney team. We have several others working on the details and logistics.  We just need your people to make this a two phase success.  Please Jim or Carol as soon as you for more information about volunteering for March 19 and 20.

Religious Liberty: Obamacare’s First Casualty

GOP Debate Nails Media Bias (Video)

Debate Nails Media Bias Video This link will direct you to You Tube site and away from IFA.

GOP presidential candidates turned the tables on the media during January 7th evening debate in New Hampshire on ABC .  Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich responded to a highly emotional and liberally slanted question about homosexual marriage. His comments were arguably the most important point of the evening:

I just want to raise the point about the news media bias. You don’t hear the opposite question asked. Should the Catholic Church be forced to close its adoption services in Massachusetts because it won’t accept gay couples? Which is exactly what the state has done. Should the Catholic Church be driven out of providing charitable services in the District of Columbia because it won’t give in to secular bigotry? Should the Catholic Church find itself discriminated against by the Obama administration on key delivering of service because of the bias and bigotry of the administration? The bigotry question goes both ways, and there’s a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side and none of it gets covered by the news media.

Debate moderators Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos quickly changed the subject so they wouldn’t have to deal with the very real issue of liberal media bias.  Gingrich received a loud round of applause for his comments, and obviously benefited from turning the tables and exposing the media’s liberal bent.

The Left’s Heart of Darkness

A great post from Bruce Walker at AmericanThinker.com. Here’s an excerpt:

Conservatives sometimes get too distracted by dollars and deficits and debt. These matter, of course — they matter a great deal in political life. But the deconstruction of the American economy is a consequence, not a cause, of our fundamental problem, which is moral.

The road back requires first of all that politicians who are asked to cure social problems be allowed to tell the truth about why these problems exist. The values given us from above are beyond the reach of leftist pygmies, and the laws prescribed for us by God have definite and absolute consequences which ripple throughout our lives and the lives we touch.

Most of us secretly know that the hedonistic and atheistic system foisted upon our culture by leftist bosses is a suicide pill. Let us hope — better, let us pray — that those men and women who carry the banner of conservatism into political combat have the courage to speak that too often unspoken truth.
