From: Center for Reclaiming America Date: Nov 17, 2006 5:13 AM Subject: A taste of things to come + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Friday, November 17, 2006 There are those in power who would silence the Church and secularize our culture. As the election dust settles, the first rumblings out of Washington confirm what I anticipated in last week's election summary: these next two years will be a time of active vigilance for those of us who care about the future of life, family, and religious freedom in America. + + Life and Religious Liberties Targeted for Attack It looks like the attack will hit two important fronts first: life and religious liberties. Reports indicate that Speaker (to be) of the House Nancy Pelosi intends to revive the embryonic stem cell research federal funding legislation in the first 100 hours of the new Congress in January. President Bush vetoed this legislation just months ago. The recurring threat to religious liberties will rear its ugly head again in the form of 'hate crimes' legislation. Pro-life, pro-family legislators have successfully defeated it, time and again, but legislators dedicated to this attempt to create special rights for homosexuals that stifle freedom of speech have inserted it into all types of bills, including defense authorizations. At least one newly elected senator has pledged to make sure this legislation gets another vote. + + Our Strategy is Forthcoming I will be in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with others who are concerned about the directions our new Congress may go. Rest assured, I will return with a full report and practical actions you can take to stem the tide. This legislation has failed in the past because concerned Americans, like you, have faithfully informed your legislators of your opinions and encouraged our President to stand firm and use his veto power. These actions can continue to make a difference. Now, more than ever, we must answer the call to reclaim America for Christ. I am confident that as we work together, we will see God's hand moving in our nation in exciting new ways.
