Take Action TODAY to Protect the Preborn

Pro-Life Vote Set for U.S. Senate on Tues., Sept. 22

Sent by Focus on the Family

Sent: 9/18/2015 5:25 PM

Action Alert: The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on an important pro-life bill Tuesday, Sept. 22, and we need your help.

The bill, the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" (H.R. 36), prohibits late-term abortion beginning at 20 weeks after fertilization except in limited circumstances.

The measure passed the U.S. House of Representatives in May and represents one of the best opportunities in recent years at the federal level to reduce the number of abortions, and serve as a major blow in the courts to Roe v Wade.

This is a key opportunity to speak up for defenseless preborn babies by contacting your two U.S. Senators and asking them to support and vote for H.R. 36.

It's easy to make your voice heard in support of this bill before Tuesday:

·       If you want to contact your two U.S. Senators this weekend, we suggest using our Action Center to email messages to their offices.

·       If you can call today (Friday) or Monday, Sept. 21 (the day before the vote), please call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, and leave a message with both of your senators' offices.

When you call your two senators:

·       Be prepared to give your name and street address to verify where you live. This is standard procedure with every Senate office.

·       Then, respectfully ask the senator to SUPPORT and VOTE FOR the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," H.R. 36.

Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless.

Their fate is in our hands.

P.S. Please feel free to share this alert with your friends and family via email or on social media. We will have alerts on our Thriving Values Facebook page, so you can go there and "share" one of our alert posts or create your own. Thank you!

Helping Families Thrive

Focus on the Family is a global Christian ministry dedicated to helping families thrive. We provide help and resources for couples to build healthy marriages that reflect God’s design, and for parents to raise their children according to morals and values grounded in biblical principles.

We’re here to come alongside families with relevance and grace at each stage of their journey. We support families as they seek to teach their children about God and His beautiful design for the family, protect themselves from the harmful influences of culture and equip themselves to make a greater difference in the lives of those around them.

No matter who you are, what you’re going through or what challenges your family may be facing, we’re here to help. With practical resources - like our 1-800 Family Help line, counseling and websites – we’re committed to providing trustworthy, biblical guidance and support.

Our Passion

Our passion for what we do is driven by our foundational values:

We believe that all people are of infinite value, regardless of age, development, appearance or ability.

We believe that marriage is the foundation of family life, and that God’s design for marriage is a relationship where both husband and wife are committed to loving and caring for one another for a lifetime.

We believe children are a gift from God, and thrive best in a home where both mother and father are committed to raising them with love, intention, and care.

We believe sex is given by God as an expression of love to be shared and enjoyed exclusively between a husband and wife.

We believe that Christians have a responsibility to promote truth and social policy that improves the strength and health of the family, as God designed.

And we believe that parents should aspire to model for their children how to humbly follow the teachings and spirit of Jesus at home and in the community.

Our Purpose

Ultimately, we believe that the purpose of life is to know and glorify God through an authentic relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. This purpose is lived out first within our own families then extended, in love, to an increasingly broken world that desperately needs Him.

Through our radio broadcasts, websites, simulcasts, conferences, interactive forums, magazines, books, counseling and much more, Focus on the Family equips parents, children and spouses to thrive in an ever-changing, ever-more-complicated world. If you feel there is a specific way we can help your family, or if you'd simply like to know more about us, please browse our website or call us toll-free at 1-800-A-FAMILY.

Boehner is the Chain that Binds Conservatives

John R. Houk

© January 6, 2014

Self-proclaimed Conservative John Boehner (R-OH) is the Speaker of the House. Many Conservatives have questioned whether or not Boehner is a bona fide Conservative or a part of the Republican in Name Only (RINO) crowd. RINOs can Center-Left to Center-Right but definitely not committed to the entirety of Conservative principles that have been a part of the Republican Party Platform for some time. In Boehner’s case he has taken the GOP Establishment line that the Tea Party Movement needs to be minimized if not downright ostracized from the Republican Party. If the Republican Establishment has their way the removal of the Tea Party will mean we will have to come up with a new acronym representing the present day RINO. Maybe something like Republican Establishment Party Only (REPO). Or maybe something like Republican Elitist Party Only (REPO). You get the point, no true Conservatives are a part of the GOP.

Now if Boehner and his Establishment buddies’ war on the Tea Party is not bad enough here is a thought that should make you want to flush Boehner and the Republican Establishment down the political toilet. Retired Lieutenant Colonel and former Representative Allen West wonders if the Speaker is helping Obama cover-up Benghazigate.

No matter how much it might hurt in 2016, it is time for Conservatives and Tea Partiers to form a new Political Party to give American voters an opportunity to side with the Conservative vision to return the Original Intent of the Constitution which includes less government and fair taxes.

EXCLUSIVE–ALLEN WEST QUESTIONS IF BOEHNER, CANTOR HELPING COVER UP BENGHAZI

By MATTHEW BOYLE

6 Jan 2014, 1:50 PM PDT

Breitbart

Former Rep. Allen West (R-FL), a leader in the conservative movement and retired Lt. Colonel of the United States Army, told Breitbart News that he thinks House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) might be trying to help the Obama administration cover up the Benghazi scandal.

West is a signer of the letter from a coalition of conservative and military leaders, along with three family members of the victims in the Benghazi terrorist attack, that demanded Boehner create a select committee to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attack. Boehner has been blocking the House Resolution from Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) that would create such a committee, even though H. Res. 36 has 178 cosponsors in addition to Wolf.

“There is widespread support for a select committee to get to the bottom of disturbing questions surrounding the attack, as H. Res. 36 has 178 cosponsors,” West said in an email to Breitbart News. “Yet Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor refuse to bring it to the House floor for a vote. You have to wonder, is there something they know that they prefer not come to light?”

The letter delivered to Boehner on Monday similarly questioned whether Boehner is helping President Barack Obama's administration cover up the Benghazi scandal. Specifically, because Boehner is a member of the “Super 8”—congressional leaders who are briefed on national security matters—the coalition wondered if he knew something that a full investigation into Benghazi would reveal.

“Some analysts believe your inaction and passivity towards getting to the truth concerning Benghazi is because you were briefed on the intelligence and special operations activities in Libya as a member of the ‘Super 8,’” the group wrote. “You may possess ‘guilty knowledge.’ We recall how then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi developed a form of ‘amnesia’ concerning a documented briefing she received on so-called ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ – later termed ‘torture’ for political purposes."

**************************

Editor: As I was preparing to post this I came upon another Breitbart article on Boehner’s minions pertaining to a Benghazigate investigation. Boehner insinuates he still desires to investigate Benghazi. Now that sounds fishy to me because if Boehner is serious I have to ask, “What is the hold-up?”

GOP LEADERSHIP: BENGHAZI VICTIMS' FAMILIES 'ABSURD AND INACCURATE' IN SELECT COMMITTEE DEMAND

By MATTHEW BOYLE

6 Jan 2014, 3:52 PM PDT

Breitbart

An anonymous aide for House GOP leadership told the Washington Examiner Monday it believes three family members of the victims of the Benghazi terrorist attack and other conservative movement and military community leaders are being untruthful in their demand for a select committee investigation into Benghazi.

The unidentified aide would work for either Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, or Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, per the Examiner's identification.

Pat Smith, the mother of murdered Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and Charles Woods, the father of murdered security officer Tyrone Woods, along with Smith’s uncle Michael Ingmire, joined scores of conservative movement leaders in demanding Boehner install a select committee.

A bill that would do so is sitting in the House with 179 cosponsors including lead sponsor Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), more than a substantial majority of the House GOP conference. Boehner, Cantor, and McCarthy will not schedule a vote on the matter, despite overwhelming support from the conservative movement, victims’ families, the American people, and the GOP conference.

Instead, an anonymous House GOP leadership aide responded to Monday’s letter, which was exclusively reported by Breitbart News, to the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard by accusing the coalition writing the letter of making false statements in the letter regarding the GOP leadership’s incapacity to lead an investigation into Benghazi.

“These complaints are absurd and factually inaccurate,” the anonymous GOP leadership aide said. “The committees’ efforts are coordinated by a full-time leadership staffer, administration witnesses have testified publicly and privately, and the committees have both professional investigators and subpoena authority.”

Boehner aide Michael Steel added that Boehner wants to still investigate Benghazi. “House Republicans are committed to finding the truth about what happened in Benghazi and why the White House failed to level with the American people,” Steel told Bedard.

Steel has not responded to a series of questions on the matter from Breitbart News, including details on the lone staffer he says House GOP leadership has working to coordinate the investigation among the various committees.

BENGHAZI: THE MORE WE HEAR, THE WORSE IT GETS

ACT for America brings up some recent points of interesting pertaining to Benghazigate. You know, that which Obama claims is a phony scandal or should I say one of many phony scandals the President is attempting to persuade Americans are irrelevant.

[Here is a video that has nothing to do with the ACT for America email on Benghazigate, but since I am a Palin fan and she is speaking of Obama’s phony scandals, I couldn’t resist to include it.]

BENGHAZI: THE MORE WE HEAR, THE WORSE IT GETS

Sent from: ACT for America

The more time that passes since the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack that killed four Americans, including a U.S. Ambassador, the more we hear troubling information about it.

For example, just last week the following concerning allegations came to light:

1.   Months before the attack, American intelligence knew about a massive al-Qaeda rally during which there were calls for the murder of U.S. diplomats. Further, U.S. intelligence officials circulated not one, but THREE reports within the Departments of Defense, State and multiple intelligence agencies detailing these threats. Click HERE for an article providing more details.

2.   The attackers knew the location of Ambassador Stevens’ safe room, beforehand. Click HERE for more details.

In addition, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA/22^nd) recently sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner regarding his concerns about Benghazi. His letter included nine important questions that he feels deserve answers and we couldn’t agree more.

Further, in a recent interview with Chris Wallace, Rep. Nunes spoke about his concerns with “discrepancies” between statements of the survivors of the attack and the Administration.

Our enemies are watching as the Administration and the U.S. Congress continue to demonstrate that the Benghazi attack isn’t a high priority. This makes our nation and our citizens more vulnerable, both at home and abroad.

As of today, 178 members of the U.S. House of Representatives (more than a supermajority) have publicly stated their support for the creation of a special committee by signing on as a cosponsor to Rep. Frank Wolf’s legislation, H. Res. 36. Is YOUR Representative on the bill? And if not, why not?

** Important Benghazi Action Item **

Please contact your legislator in the U.S. House of Representatives TODAY to express support for H. Res. 36, Rep. Frank Wolf’s legislation creating a special congressional committee to investigate the Benghazi attack. Further, please pass this request on to everyone you know.

Click HERE to obtain contact information for your House Representative.

Click HERE for a list of Members that have already cosponsored Rep. Wolf’s bill and if your House legislator is on the list, be sure to thank him/her!

After one year of alternative approaches yielding no positive results, there is no excuse for a Member of Congress to not support a special Benghazi committee at this time.

Two more additional important facts:

1.   The special committee would be comprised of members of each of the 5 congressional committees that have Benghazi in their jurisdiction, and could use the information those committees have received to-date (so no “starting over” is necessary).

2.   The special committee would not cost the taxpayer one dime.

Please let your Representative know that this is a very important issue to you and that you are a constituent and a voter. Let him/her know that you will be tracking how the U.S. Congress handles the Benghazi issue. As always, please be respectful at all times.(NOTE: H. Res. 36, Rep. Wolf’s Benghazi bill, is NOT the same as H. R. 36. Please be sure to accurately identify the legislation we are supporting, to avoid confusion.)

Thank you for all that you do. Together we ARE making a difference.

REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT!

EASY STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL AND ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABILITY!

By Lisa Piraneo, Director of Government Relations

Sent by: ACT! For America

The one-year anniversary of the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans, including a U.S. Ambassador, is right around the corner – September 11^th. Despite ongoing promises by our federal elected officials to get to the bottom of the attack, there has been little progress made in achieving this very important task.

I don’t need to tell you that this is inexcusable and shameful. We have waited for our elected officials to do the right thing and that’s clearly not happening, so it looks like it’s once again up to the American people to get the ball rolling.

ACT! for America has joined together with a coalition of strategic partners to honor the brave Americans who lost their lives during the Benghazi attack. We continue to believe a special short-term congressional committee is needed to find out precisely what happened one year ago, and with our strategic partners we want to turn up the heat on Congress to make that committee a reality. To do this WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Exclusive: Conservative Groups Launch 'Remember Benghazi Four' Social Media Campaign

By Matthew Boyle

29 Aug 2013

Breitbart.com

Various conservative organizations have banded together on a social media campaign designed to memorialize the four Americans murdered in the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, nearly a year ago on Sept. 11, 2012.

The campaign demands accountability from President Barack Obama’s administration and an open, complete investigation into the scandal surrounding the attack, something that has yet to happen as the first anniversary of the terrorist attack nears.

“As we begin our march to honor the four Americans who lost their lives on 9/11/12 in Benghazi, let us never forget some ran to the sound of guns, while others ran to bed,” former Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said on behalf of the coalition in a release provided exclusively to Breitbart News.

The coalition is asking grassroots activists across America to apply a “Twibbon,” or a small image of a ribbon for avatars on Twitter and Facebook, that they hope will become a symbol of the rallying cry for justice for the four Americans murdered in the terrorist attack: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Management Officer Sean Smith, and security officers former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

In its press release, the … READ THE REST      

What can YOU do to help? It’s easy. You can take just a few simple actions that, when joined together with our 260,000 other members, will create the level of ear splitting volume we need to reach Washington, DC.

1.  First, click HERE to find out if your House legislator has cosponsored Rep. Frank Wolf’s (R-VA) legislation (H. Res. 36) creating a special short-term committee to investigate the Benghazi attack. To-date, over 2/3 of Republican members in the House of Representatives have cosponsored this important resolution. If your House legislator, Republican or Democrat, has not – shame on them. Please contact him/her right away and ask for co-sponsorship before the one-year anniversary of the attack.

[NOTE: H. Res. 36 is DIFFERENT than H.R. 36. Please use the correct bill number to avoid confusion.]

2.  Second, add a royal blue Benghazi “Twibbon” to your Facebook or Twitter Account and add #Benghazi as a hash tag to all of your Benghazi-related Tweets. A Twibbon is an electronic commemorative ribbon that will prominently display your support for honoring the “Benghazi 4” via Facebook and Twitter. Here are the EASY steps to do so:

a.    Visit www.RememberBenghazi4.com.

b.     Click “Add to Twitter” and/or “Add to Facebook.”

c.      When the pop-up window appears, click to “Authorize App.”

d.     You will be prompted to position and resize the ribbon on your profile picture.

e.      Click “Add Twibbon” to complete.

f.       Help spread the word to recruit others!

Next week, Congress reconvenes after its month-long August recess and there are a lot of issues waiting on Capitol Hill for our legislators to address. Today, let’s send them a message that addressing the Benghazi issue (by making H. Res. 36 a reality) must be a top priority.

Thank you for ALL that you do for our great nation.

REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT!
