AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
January 14, 2009
1.) Will the Cross at Site of Flight 93 Memorial be Removed?
2.) Freedom of Choice Act
3.) How Much is a Trillion Dollars?
4.) FYI: Obama’s Inauguration Lineup
- Shortly after Flight 93 crashed into the field in Shanksville on September 11, 2001, a temporary memorial sprang up as Americans from across the country came to pay tribute to the heroes of Flight 93. One of the first items left at the site was a cross donated by the Somerset Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. Click here to view a picture of the cross taken in July 2008. Now, we have been told that there is a very real possibility that the cross will not be part of the final Flight 93 National Memorial. Too many are under the impression that religious symbols cannot be permitted at government parks or memorials. In response, we wrote a letter to the National Park Service. Click here to read our news release about this letter, plus the one to President Bush about the treatment of the landowner of the crash site and the 275 acres surrounding it.
- President-elect Obama has promised Planned Parenthood that one of the first things he will do is sign the Freedom of Choice Act into law. This is one of those ‘nice sounding’ bills that is extremely dangerous. Just what would this bill do if signed into law? It would abolish all pro-life regulations across the nation, from parental notification laws to bans on federal funding of abortions --- check out the last section of the bill.
- How Much is a Trillion Dollars -- from the National office of the AFA.
- We’ve all heard that Pastor Rick Warren will be offering the opening prayer for President-elect Obama’s inauguration and the homosexuals are very upset with Obama. But did you know who else will be praying at events during that week? During a pre-inaugural event at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, the invocation will be delivered by openly homosexual V. Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire. Robinson has said he will not refer to the Bible during his prayer because it is offensive to some. This event will be attended by both President –elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden.
The inauguration itself will not only include Warren, but Rev. Joseph Lowery who will be delivering the benediction. Rev. Lowery supports civil unions and special rights for homosexuals. He also opposes efforts to pass Marriage Protection Amendments.
Additionally the Lesbian and Gay Band will be performing in the inaugural parade and a Washington-based Gay Men’s Chorus will be performing at the same Sunday event that Robinson will be offering the invocation.
The day after the inauguration during the national prayer service at the National Cathedral, Rev. Sharon E. Watkins will deliver the sermon. She is the president and general minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She has not taken a position on same-sex marriage and the church she pastored before becoming president cannot reach a consensus on the issue, according to Watkins.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Pray for America as though her existence as a free God-fearing nation depended upon it – because it does.
2.) Contact the National Park Service and ask them to keep the cross as part of the Flight 93 National Memorial. You can call (814) 443-4557 or fax (814) 443-2180. You can also e-mail using the contact form by clicking here.
3.) Contact your U.S. Congressman and Senators Specter and Casey asking them not to support the Freedom of Choice Act. This act is not about freedom nor is it about choice, but it is about taking away the freedom of babies to live, taking away the parental rights of pregnant teenage girls and taking away the choices between life and death of a newly created child. Click here for Congressional contact information. To contact Senator Specter and Senator Casey click here. Please call the district office nearest you as well as e-mail your Congressman and Senators Specter and Casey.
