Cap & Tax (Cap & Trade)! Let's pray this is true, and please take action ASAP!! The votes are reportedly very close!

Cap & Tax (Cap & Trade)! It could potentially pass today, but there's some good news: Democrats had an emergency meeting last night and again this morning, reportedly because they haven't yet gathered enough votes to pass their tax-raising, prosperity-destroying, economy-busting, tax-hiking, anti-growth Cap and Trade legislation. Let's pray this is true, and please take action ASAP!! The votes are reportedly very close!

The Democrat swing votes on H.R. 2454, the Cap and Trade legislation, according to RedState.com (if you live in their district, call now):

Vote Black?

by Elder G. Craige Lewis of EX Ministries

http://www.blackvoices.com/boards/news-and-sports/elections/election-hub/new-blog-by-g-craige-lewis-vote-black/2883/1?utc=true

The 2008 Hip Hop Awards came on the other day and it proved one thing to me. Some black folks will be dumb until Jesus comes back! How can anyone look at pimps, thugs, and gangsters as a good thing that needs to be celebrated? How did Hip Hop become the voice of our youth to the point that the black church is bending over backwards for it's acceptance? This is a shame. But one thing that they did on this show that really got me going was the push for a "black" vote in the election. Not knowing the issues at hand, but yet and still, they constantly pushed the young folks and Hip Hop fans to "vote black" this election.

How embarrassing! These folks undid everything that Dr. Martin Luther King dreamed of in one dumb hour! They took apart his dream and the civil rights movement by pointing to the black candidate as the mandatory vote of black people. This is sad. Martin Luther King said that he dreamed of the day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character! How can you say, "vote black" and not go against that dream? Just because an African man mixed with white is running does not mean he is the right choice or the only choice for black people. We are moving to the back of the bus again and we don't even see it. As far as straight politics goes, Blacks are the only race of people that are not bipartisan. We have been conditioned to be on one side and never split our vote. Other races and ethnic groups including, Hispanics, Catholics, and Jews put people on both sides of the ticket for leverage and a voice no matter how the pendulum swings. But blacks stay at the back of the bus and don't spread out so when we lose, we lose our voice and power. That's slave mentality.

Our freedom to vote is our right to vote that was fought for by many civil rights leaders in the past. This is the right to vote either way, republican or democrat, and most importantly, it is our right to NOT vote at all if we don't feel that either candidate deserves our support. We have corrupted the freedom of voting so much these days that people don't even know the issues at hand and they are just voting the color of their skin or what pop culture is dictating to them. I'm sorry folks, but we can't stay on this road. This is the road that leads to the accepting of the mark of the beast. This is the road that hides the truth and promotes the lie. This road will get you voting for economics rather than morality. And that's the road that will lead to the Antichrist! The bible said that in the end, you will not be able to buy or sell unless you pledge your allegiance to the beast! Buy or sell? That's economics. That's money! And if you are voting for economic reasons and not considering morality or your own convictions, then you are essentially doing exactly what the bible predicts will happen in the end. People will begin to vote in the man that will lead us to the Antichrist and the end. They will vote this man in based on economic issues and popularity. He will be voted in because of the financial crisis of the government and people will not even consider his true moral ethics. Black Christian leaders have totally abandoned the bible in this election. They have chosen culture over Christ and have accepted the 3 things that the Antichrist will implement in his rule. Abortion, Homosexuality, and the silencing of the truth! These things are on the table and being ignored because of the color of a man's skin?

Muhammad Ali faced the challenge of not fighting in an American war because it went against his religious convictions. He became an African American hero because of it. With that said, if you do not feel that either candidate in this race fits your conviction, then you are obligated to NOT vote at all. I know black people go crazy when you talk like this and they bring up all the slaves that died and the folks that fought for your right to vote. Yet in that same breath, they don't think of the millions that have died of AIDS through homosexual activity, the millions of lives that are not here because of abortion, nor do they consider the millions that are deceived because the church is silent on moral issues!

Sure many fought and died for the right to vote. But that fight was not just for a right to vote, but a right to chose to vote. After all, if we are forced to vote, we didn't have a right to not vote and thus we are still bound and not free. And if you don't have a choice that is comfortable or in line with your convictions, then what do you do? Pick the lesser of 2 evils? Or pick the black man because you are black? God forbid! I will not be guilty of ushering in the Antichrists policies because a man is of color! I am not practicing to receive the mark of the beast. And if you are voting against your own beliefs and bible for the sake of money, color, or party biases, then you have just passed the mark of the beast test. You have just proven that socialistic reasons supersede your spiritual convictions! And this is exactly what the Antichrist will do. He will exalt himself above God and make his immoral beliefs acceptable by all. And without question we see that Barack Obama has caused preachers and pastors, great and small, to follow him in spite of his Antichrist morals. Abortion, homosexuality, and the silencing of the church are on his ticket and yet black church folks don't care. The very things that are killing us as a people are the very things that we are in favor of. The scariest part is that this is just rehearsal for the coming rule of the Antichrist and the black church has lined up on the wrong side! I'm not saying that McCain is the answer, but I'm saying that if you are voting, your convictions as a believer in the bible should out weigh every thing else.

How did we get here? Why are we ignoring the obvious here? The money problems America is having is just a prelude to the coming of the one world government and the rule of the Antichrist. That's why his policies are being tested here in America. I'm not calling Obama the Antichrist, but I'm saying his policy is in line with the morality of the King of the East that will rise up and rule. Barack Obama plans to go into churches and demand that they accept the homosexual agenda. Michelle Obama even bragged at the gay and lesbian counsel of the Democratic National Convention about going into a black church and telling them to stop being homophobic and accept the gay agenda. You can hear it for yourself below.

Yet, the black church is so full of homosexual activity, it was a plan all along by the enemy to get these homosexual leaders of the black churches in power so that when this agenda comes through the White House, they would lead their flocks directly into it. God showed me 15 years ago that every major black pentecostal denomination would be lead by a homosexual before Jesus returns. And now, they are all in place and leading this nations black churches into the arms of the Antichrist by pushing an agenda that is not of God. Barack even hired a gay pastor to travel with him and Donnie McClurkin to black churches and was welcomed with open arms. What is this? Isn't AIDS the number 1 killer of black people? Isn't abortion black genocide with 1400 performed every day in the black community? Wasn't the black church once the pillar of our community and the moral guide for our youth? Now, all of these things are being undone and reversed because of the Antichrist agenda that is working behind the scenes. What a perfect setup!

Don't get me wrong. White people are as much to blame for the "vote black" mindset as blacks are. You see, if the white leaders of this nation had stood up for blacks in America and confessed their wrong treatment of us and repented openly about it, then healing could have taken place. They should have put our history in the white history books and they should have repented openly and made real atonement for the unjust treatment of our people a long time ago. You can't sweep 400 years of oppression under a rug and expect it to vanish. It's still there and it requires effort to correct more than just 1 month of the year. You see, racism is at the forefront of American politics now because it's been ignored and hidden for so many years. Don't get me wrong, I do feel that we have progressed some as a people, yet we have so many issues because we have not had proper healing from what happened to us. With that said, when the black man that was pushed to the back of the bus sees Obama, he sees justice. When the black woman that was called Nigger all her young life sees Obama, she sees justice. When the preachers that saw the White churches prosper and the black churches shunned see Obama, they see justice. White people that are reading this will never understand what it feels like to be discriminated against because of color. They don't know what it feels like to be called an animal or less than human and treated like a reject! But blacks have experienced that and it's caused us to want justice on a grand scale. And to many, Barack Obama represents progress, justice, and atonement for our people.

But, if his policy and his morality does not line up with the God we serve as true believers, then is it justice or is it a setup? Those of us that have been discriminated against and treated unfairly by whites because of our race need healing. And because this nation has not offered us a just version of healing or paid us just due, we are still hurting as a race of people. But isn't that what Jesus is all about? Wasn't he the savior of Israel when they were in bondage? Didn't he show himself mighty in their time of turmoil and unjust treatment? Isn't that when the power of God comes into play? Don't miss it people of God. Jesus, not Obama, is the real answer here and we must push him instead of a political system! We must stand on the word of God and not waver in this coming election. If you cast your vote for a man that is for the agenda of the Antichrist, you have just passed the mark of the beast test and proven that you will accept the mark, even if it goes against your convictions as a believer and your bible that you read. Come on saints of God, stand up. Don't let anyone sway you here. It's late in the hour and Jesus is taking notes on where you stand. Your vote is your stand. And it would be better to not vote at all than to cast a vote for the very agenda that the Antichrist will promote.

Looking for the rapture,

ACORN

I had to steal some quotes from RUSH they were so brilliant just for FYI

In Missouri, officials are buried in duplicate registration forms from ACORN; in Nevada, registrations for the Dallas Cowboys' starting lineup are among the fraudulent submissions. Other states are conducting similar investigations. Eight ACORN workers in Saint Louis recently pled guilty to fraud in the 2004 elections.


The ACORN thing is important along with a whole host of other issues but ACORN is crucial because it puts the lie to all of Obama’s airy hope rhetoric about change and social justice or injustice. ACORN is a 30-year-old organization, and for 30 years they have been listed as nonpartisan and they get government grants.

Tthe right to vote -- in honest and fair elections -- is the cornerstone of our republic; blood was shed for minorities' and women's voting rights in historic struggles that took decades to succeed.
There are investigations of ACORN going on in 13 states now.

I would think this would outrage people.
Even on the Left, I mean it is not about partisen stuff but they are making you look bad, and by defending the practices you are saying oh this is fine, instead of shouting up and saying hey yeah get them – I don’t want some organization like that being a reflection of who I am, I know if it were a Conservative/Republican/Christian organization I would be just as mad and upset as I am now only more because now they just gave me a bad name I have to overcome, along with everything else.

ACORN is a subdivision of the Democrat Party. Even in the original rescue plan, the bailout bill, how much was it for ACORN? There was some millions earmarked for ACORN, and of course somebody spotted it, raised hell about it, and they pulled it out of there.

This is not an attack or mudslinging this is real, Like many things but it is even more real because the fate of our country is at stake. And what about honor doesn’t that mean anything anymore? “Given the ties between Obama and ACORN and the money that his campaign has sent them and the job that he had with them in the past, Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he's willing to fight voter fraud”

In King County, Washington, to get a governor installed last cycle, Democrats were able to produce more votes than there were voters. In 1960, dead voters in Cook County, Illinois, gave Jack Kennedy his victory in the wee hours of the morning.

I thought about just pulling out pieces of facts I thought were important but then I was like nah Reading is good and I hate trying to retell something or only picking what I think is important

Why should there be some type of outrage on the Left?
His website says: I have nothing to do with ACORN; I never had anything to do with them. I may have known some people there, but ACORN is just some group down the street in the neighborhood that had a sign out that said "ACORN." I don't know anything about ACORN. Let's go December 1st, 2007, Heartland Democrat Presidential Forum. Obama took questions from the moderator, Katherine Hughes. Katherine Hughes says, "If elected president would you agree in your first 100 days to meet with a delegation of representatives from these various community organizations, the Campaign for Community Values, and so forth, can they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?"

OBAMA: Yes. But let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. (cheering) We're going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda of the next presidency of the United States of America!


Come on people

The list goes on BTW and finding the actual convictions of ACORN members is not that hard to do, this is not something they have done only this election, it is just they are more bold about it I guess now. They keep getting caught and charged and even convicted but still the organization remains I guess they figure hey why not. Win no matter what, who cares about majority we what power.

"The liberals have the media, and that's what makes it look like this is a country so different from what it reality is. We're not Marxist, we're not socialist, and the majority of our people do not want to sit on their butts and let the government take care of them."

2 Questions Obama

Barack Obama has said he is a constitutional scholar, right? I mean he has said that and he writes it in his book and resume, right? He taught law, he was head of the Harvard Law Review
Ok so we have established that so Obama has been running commercials in northern Virginia saying that McCain wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and the ad says which would prevent women from getting abortions. Now, the truth is that if that ever happened it would mean that the states would decide the issue, or even Congress for that matter. Reversing Roe v. Wade would not end abortions, to my great disappointment, but nevertheless that's the case. Shouldn’t Obama Know this? And if he does why is he out there running false ads? If he does not know this, how can he call himself a scholar, what kind of student could he have bee? And more over if he didn’t know before he runs the ads shouldn’t he check for accuracy before putting his stamp of approval on it? What kind of leadership does this show? I thought he said he was about change? I thought he wanted to bring integrity to the office?

One Other thing that I keep wondering about Obama, he keeps saying he has a solution to the “economic woes” we are seeing right now and that he has a clear plan to help alleviate the problems we are seeing. GREAT!!!!! What are they? Waiting……waiting…….waiting……Obama says he has a plan but will tell us once he is elected. WHAT??? Isn’t he part of the senate now? Isn’t he being paid to help us and his constituates now!!! Why do we have to wait for him to be elected? If he puts out his plan now and proposes a bill or anything for that matter that is a good policy that will give him a huge bounce, those who have reservations about his lack of experience and understanding will be able to say NOW LOOK there ya go see he does have good sense he is qualified and then if it is a good plan and it works well then WOW he would have his mojo back. But in stead it is like he is trying to hold us hostage with the answer, I will only tell if you vote for me. Vote for me and then I will help. How is that hope and change and compassion? I don’t get it
