“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Our basic freedoms are under attack again from the Obama administration!

From Martha:

A fellow patriot forwarded this article from the Weekly Standard. Please read the statement from the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops. I urge you to print this article or forward it to your pastor or leaders of your church. We must demand that all faiths stand in solidarity with the Catholic Bishops. The issue is not contraception, the issue is the state assuming more power over its citizens.

Here is the link to the Catholic Diocese in Spokane: www.dioceseofspokane.org.  According to Bishop Cupich of Spokane, the state of Washington is also considering a similar mandate that would force religious organizations to provide insurance coverage for abortions. Contact your state senator and representative and let them know of your opposition to HB 2330 and SB 6185.

I think it's important to realize that anti-Christian bigotry is becoming common place.  Bigotry in any form should be fought, but this is a recent trend, and it's an ugly one, regardless of how one thinks the world came to be.
