A group of injured American servicemen are teaming up to track down child predators and rescue their victims. The ICE/HERO program not only has a noble aim, it is allowing injured veterans to make use of their skills to aid our most vulnerable. Meet Cpl. Justin Gaertner and Sgt. Gabriel Martinez. Both men were Marines who lost their legs during the same attack while serving in Afghanistan. Now they are partnered together conducting computer forensics needed to track down sex traffickers. The program, which was originally limited to only US Special Operations Command veterans is now open to all medically...

A precious member of our family is in need of your prayers. Richard, aka Little Man, is 2 and a half yrs. old. After receiving what his parents were told were "every test known to man" during Christmas, and being sent home with a tube for feeding (he had been admitted after weeks of diarrhea which caused dehydration) began vomiting a week ago. His Mom insisted upon re-admittance to the hospital which they did. The doctor ordered a catscan and ultrasound (why that wasn't done before is beyond us, but we put that away for another day). The test found...

It could happen here By Tom Mountain/ Our Turn The Newton Tab - Newton, Massachusetts Wednesday, June 28, 2006 All David Parker of Lexington ever wanted was for his young son to attend a normal school in a normal environment devoid of any ideology and propaganda that contradicted his Judeo-Christian ethics. All he ever sought was the respect and consideration normally granted to any parent of any child in any American public school. All he ever needed was an assurance from his child's school that his parental rights would be respected and upheld in accordance with state law and that...

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HOLDING SURPRISE PUBLIC HEARING ON BILL OF ADDRESS THIS TUESDAY !!! Very strange. No public notice given by committee, just an obscure posting on a State House bulletin board !! The sponsors of the bill weren't even notified. (Nothing on normal State House notification venues: official letters & email to reps, legislature's Web site.) Sleazy, disgusting tactic by committee chairmen to keep public from showing up & testifying for the Bill of Address. Is this what we elect our representatives to do?? Call these committee chairmen BEFORE TUESDAY and DEMAND that they STOP the sleaze. That this is...

IMPORTANT SPECIAL ELECTIONS COMING UP - March 15! (last updated 3/9/05) Marriage Newspeak by Jeff Jacoby Boston Globe, Sunday, March 13, 2005 BACK IN 2003, a few days after the highest court in Massachusetts unveiled a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, I ventured a prediction. ''Sooner than you think, it will become improper to speak of unique sex roles in family life," I wrote. ''The meanings and status associated with words like 'husband' and 'wife' will be erased from the law; most likely, the words themselves will be replaced in statutes with the unisex 'spouse,' just as 'father' and 'mother'...

Jerusalum Action Alert seek help from Christians everywhere. I am outraged! Our Lord’s last words to us commanded that we were to be witnesses unto Him, first in Jerusalem. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are organizing WorldPride 2005, an international parade in the city of Jerusalem. This is not heaven witnessing; it is hell. There are now homosexual churches all over America and the world, whose adherents claim to be good Christians. Join our fight to stop this desecration of Jerusalem. Add your signature to our letter of support to Mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolianski, now! They plan to travel...

-----Having learned nothing, Kerry now boosts Stalinist W.E.B. Du Bois Why has John Kerry sponsored a Senate resolution honoring a Stalinist who championed racial separatism? The Soviet Union awarded W.E.B. Du Bois the Lenin Peace Prize. Maoist China staged a national holiday in his honor in 1959. Now, for reasons unexplained, the Democratic Party's 2004 presidential nominee seeks to honor Du Bois too. Kerry's efforts to honor Du Bois have been joined by fellow Bay State Democrat Ed Markey, who, along with more than three-dozen colleagues, has advanced a similar resolution in the House of Representatives. Both resolutions await floor...

Dover's police chief called teacher James Risi ``a poster boy for pedophiliac behavior'' and helped drive him out of his toney town's schools, but after he left, the boys and girls of Brockton and Chelsea called him something else: their teacher. ``It was the one thing we had all been promised, that he would never get another teaching job,'' said the mother of the 9-year-old Dover girl whom Risi traumatized. ``This is just so sad on so many levels.'' Doctors ultimately said Risi had no sexual interest in children, but the state found his record disturbing enough to eventually revoke...

George W. Bush and James Dobson are both gutsy guys willing to take on terrorists or those who terrorize American culture. That's why they have enemies among establishment mediacrats who work to take down anyone who stands up. Since press opponents will twist anything they say if given the opportunity, both have to be extraordinarily careful whenever they make public statements. They can't let anyone over-promise: President Bush has been lambasted because a PR aide stuck a "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him in 2003 when the tougher Iraq war was not ending, but beginning. They can't let down. The bashed...

This is an update email I received that might interest many. I wrote the suggested letter to Margaret Spellings, and hope you all will also. SHe is being bombarded by the homosexual activists. Lets show her our suppost!! Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, in her first day on the job, told Public Broadcasting System officials that a cartoon promoting the homosexual lifestyle should not be broadcast on their tax-supported stations. She said that many parents would not want their children exposed to the homosexual lifestyle. A spokesman for PBS said that the government-funded network had agreed not to air the...

A group of billionaire philanthropists are to donate tens of millions more dollars to develop progressive political ideas in the US in an effort to counter the conservative ascendancy. George Soros, who made his fortune in the hedge fund industry; Herb and Marion Sandler, the California couple who own a multi-billion-dollar savings and loan business; and Peter Lewis, the chairman of an Ohio insurance company, donated more than $63m (£34m) in the 2004 election cycle to organisations seeking to defeat George W. Bush. At a meeting in San Francisco last month, the left-leaning billionaires agreed to commit an even larger...

"Get your hands off our God!" shouted one indignant protester. Others, urging him to stay calm, knelt on the ground and prayed. Still other demonstrators took to chanting, "Put it back! Put it back! Put it back! …" Prominent national voices wailed in indignation. Dismayed and angered Americans unleashed a fusillade of letters, faxes and e-mails to politicians and newspapers and each other. Evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson, who had urged his 3 million radio listeners to head to Montgomery, Alabama, in a show of support, fervently warned that America was witnessing a campaign "to remove every vestige of faith...

Mainstream media, sensing a challenge from the new media, are increasingly ringing an alarm bell over its alleged unreliability. Despite Newsweek reporter Evan Thomas' assumption that most media backed Kerry, and that the bias could translate into anywhere from 5-20 million votes, Bush won anyway. One study found media stories favoring Kerry by two-to-one. When the Swift Boat vets with their powerful anti-Kerry message came along, they were for the most part snubbed or dismissed by mainstream media.

Focus on the Family's asks for apology after Shepard murder revisted -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: December 11, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Prompted by a TV news investigation questioning whether Matthew Shepard's murder was an "anti-gay hate crime," the traditional-values group Focus on the Family asked NBC News to apologize for suggesting Bible believers were responsible for creating the "climate" in which the attack took place. But NBC defended "Today Show" host Katie Couric for her questions in an an Oct. 12, 1998, interview with the then-governor of Wyoming, where the attack took place.

The Mass. homosexual movement 2005: Plans, quotes, and photos from the Nov. 18 statewide homosexual activist strategy session. === If you think the homosexual movement is satisfied with their progress this past year, think again. They've got big plans for 2005 to do even more. To solidify what they've got, and to push the envelope even further. If you think you can just stop worrying because things can't get any worse, you're quite wrong. They've only just begun. On Thursday, November 18, the homosexual activists had a gala "public forum" at the fancy Colonnade Hotel in downtown Boston to celebrate...

Sen. Kennedy Says Opponents of “Gay Marriage” Are Bigots Sen. Edward Kennedy has told A.P. that opponents of “gay marriage” are bigots. The news service reported last week: “Meanwhile, Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy criticized supporters of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, saying that would be a civil rights setback. “Kennedy said bigotry should not be written into the federal constitution, and constitutional amendments should be about expanding rights and liberties.” Unitarians Confirm Our Forecast that Group Sex Will be Next The Unitarian Church is now welcoming those who believe in group relationships including the practice of “romantic love.”...
