Terri Santus Subito!
:)
I've got some even worse news for you. This whole situation is not what it seems.
Did you know that, mathematically, once you get back 33 generations, that each one of us in the whole world are related?
This is irrefutable, mathematic fact.
Think of it as diamond shaped. you, the individual, are the bottom point. Then it starts widening with your 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great g'parents, etc. The further you go, and it increases fast, you will start to see the same couple appear in your line more than once.
For example, In the line of my 8th great-great parents, I have 5 lines back to one couple, 4 lines back to another, etc. And I, and you, and everyone, has over 4,000 "grand parent" in that generation - and the equal number of ancestors from ourselves back to that generation. So after a few more generations back, the number of "repeat" couples starts to bring the diamond shape back until it gets to the one common ancestor of us all. That one person has been genetically tracked by the scientists - it is a woman, and they nicknamed her "Eve".
So we are, literally, all brothers and sisters. So when we fight for one - anyone = we fight for family.
Welcome to FreeRepublic - we are glad to have you hear and will enjoy working with you.
Stop judicial tyranny and stop the filibusters.
When I went to a pro-life meeting this evening, they had postcards for us to send to our U.S. senators.
If you call your U.S. Senators, tell them you want them to vote to end filibusters by a simple majority as the Constitution requires.
Should the Senate fail to conform to the Constitution's rule of a simple majority, a minority of 40 liberal Senators can use the filibuster to force their agenda on every American. Get your friends to call.
The NEW toll-free number is 1-877-762-8762! If that's busy, you can call this toll number (202-224-3121) or call
your U.S. senators at their individual numbers (or contact them by FAX).
Ask to speak with your Senator. When finished leaving your message, call your other Senator.

There is a formula, and I THINK it goes like this:
If you e-mail, it counts it as 10 voters.
If you call, it counts it as 50 voters.
If you write a letter, it counts it as 100 voters.
If you go in person, it counts it as 500 voters.
I think I have the formula down, but please correct me if I am wrong.
No--
You have the formula down pretty good!
The problem is that most conservatives just live their life focused on their own actions. The best witness is not your words- but your actions. So we don't spend as much time rinning to cameras and microphones trying to sway opinions and spend so much of our efforts in rhetoric. But we are learning.
We have been pushed into a corner for too long. We are starting to PUSH back. And the opposition DOES NOT LIKE IT!
This was an action thread, not a thread for debates. If you wanted to debate the subject, you should've just started a separate thread.
When a firefighter is getting ready to run into a burning building to save a dying woman, do you pull him aside and challenge him to a debate? No. There is a time and a place (and a thread) for everything.
This was neither the time, place, nor thread for debates once it had been established that this was not a complete hoax.
Perhaps, you believed that some of the facts of this case were still sketchy enough to merit some restraint on our part. But... we chose to err on the side of life and come out swinging anyway. When the clock is ticking fast and much is hanging in the balance, it is better to err boldly, than to stand meekly on the sidelines debating your next move, or whether you should even move at all... until it's too late.
BTW
I posted your link on my blog-- and gave you the hat tip-- of course!!!
You are so right.
If I did not believe that, I would have been done long ago. I am sad for those who do not have the comfort of belief - no, KNOWING that God is by our side, that He is watching, guiding, and that He will help whenever we ask.
The biggest thing is to remember that we DO have to ask, because He gave us free-will and will, therefore, not force His help on us. But, oh, He stands at the ready for us to ask - "knowing"
Thanks for the ping!
MAE IS SAFE!!!
HALLELUJAH!
PTL!!!!!
Yeah!
What you say!!
LOL!!
Couldn't have said it better!
Thank you!!
Yes, but you want to act without knowing the full information. Apparently Mae refused a feeding tube she was not withheld one and that is coming from the pastor of the Lagrange church.
Interesting.
Oh for Pete's sake!
Well then by all means!
Have you ever heard of Bill Keller?
Bill is that you???
How old are you??
I talked to the JUDGE OF THE CASE AND THE HOSPICE (bot to mention an actual family member)!
But if a pastor in the same town KNOWS BETTER!
He had best get up to the city hall and let them know!
and your formula is dead on.
However, if mailing, mail direct to your senator in your state - not DC, as the mail getting to them there, because of the continued screening (anthrax) takes up to 2 months (!) to get through. Also, they pay more attention getting mail at their home office, they know it's from the people that vote for them.
A press conference will be held to clear this matter up.
Ken has been less than forthcoming in his statements.
The pastor was at city hall.
