I already signed the following petition and called both Senators to ask them to oppose Obama's nominations for the Justice Department. I do not approve of such scumbags. On citizenslink.org I found some helpful iniformation.
By Jennifer Mesko, editorSen. Specter said he has never seen so much opposition from voters — 11,000 phone calls, letters and other contacts.The Senate Judiciary Committee dealt a blow to cultural morals last week by approving David Ogden's nomination for deputy attorney general, meaning the full Senate could vote anytime.Sen. Arlen Specter, the committee's ranking Republican, reportedly told National Public Radio he had never seen so much opposition from voters — 11,000 phone calls, letters and other contacts with the committee.Unfortunately, Specter joined the 13 Democrats in supporting Ogden. The other five Republicans on the committee voted against Ogden.Ogden opposes restrictions on abortion and pornography, and has represented Playboy and Penthouse in court. He has filed a brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in support of child pornographer Stephen Knox, who possessed sexually explicit videos of children. Ogden argued that, because the children's genitalia were partially covered by clothing, such exploitation is protected by the First Amendment.Committee member Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said that while he usually defers to a president's nominees, he was troubled by Ogden's representation of the pornography industry and other controversial clients, the Legal Times reported."Mr. Ogden has consistently taken very liberal positions over a long period of time on issues that are very important to me," Hatch said. "The pattern here is so consistent and the record is so long that it does give me pause."Tom Minnery, senior vice president of government and public policy at Focus on the Family Action, said that rather than depoliticizing the Justice Department, the new Democratic administration is re-politicizing it."They take our breath away the more we learn about these people," Minnery told The Associated Press. "This is Left-wing politicization of the Justice Department. This is not a Justice Department that looks like America." TAKE ACTIONFour nominees to the Justice Department — including David Ogden — are expected to go before the Senate soon. Please ask your senators to oppose all four nominations.

(NEW YORK – C-FAM) The annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meeting continues at the United Nations (UN) this week and delegates have begun the arduous task of negotiating the “outcome document” – a non-binding agreement on HIV/AIDS and care-giving that is the focus of this year’s session. While the meetings have been closed to non-government organizations (NGOs), the United States (US) delegation has openly stated that “sexual and reproductive health and rights” would be a priority issue for the Obama administration.
At a briefing hosted by the United States, a member of the US delegation, Ellen Chesler, stated that it was a specific priority of the US delegation to ensure that “comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights” are included in the document. She added that they are a “fundamental part” of the Beijing Platform for Action of the 1995 UN women’s meeting held in Beijing, China, where countries ultimately rejected attempts to make abortion an international “right.” The idea of sexual rights was rejected at the Beijing conference. Additionally, the term “sexual and reproductive health and rights” has been interpreted by radical feminist NGOs and some governments to include abortion.
Chesler, who authored a biography praising the work of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, also included “comprehensive sexual education, rights and services,” promotion of a new UN gender office, as well as US commitment to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)” as priority issues for the Obama administration at this CSW.
At the end of the briefing, an audience member questioned the Obama administration’s support for abortion despite the myriad scientific evidence which shows how detrimental it is to the lives and health of women. Chesler dismissed the woman’s question stating that the evidence is “unreliable because it has ideological elements.”
Another contentious provision in the draft CSW document calls on states to support the CEDAW committee’s non-binding “concluding comments.” 185 countries have ratified the convention, but language supporting the CEDAW committee’s concluding recommendations remains controversial. The CEDAW committee has questioned more than 70 nations on their abortion laws even going so far as creating their own "general recommendation" that reads abortion into the document even though the nations that negotiated the treaty made sure that controversial issue was never mentioned.
Delegations are expected to battle it out over the CEDAW paragraph in negotiations this week over concerns that the committee is pressuring countries on abortion. Some feminist NGOs at the CSW, however, already consider abortion an accepted part of CEDAW and have now set their sights on using the CEDAW committee to protect “lesbian rights” and same-sex “marriage.”
At an event commemorating 30 years of CEDAW, the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership claimed that CEDAW successfully established a “right to abortion” by linking it to “reproductive health.” Organizers argued that now the CEDAW committee should focus on protecting a “woman’s right to choose their partners,” which is not limited to members of the opposite sex.
The CSW will conclude in New York on Friday.
I oppose the vain repetition of the mantra of "Change". Constantly we hear these ubiquitous mottos of "Change We Must", "Change We Can", "Bring about real change". What kind of change is Obama talking about?
Is he talking about the change left in the pockets of Americans after numerous bank & insurance bailouts and a record Dow Jones drop of 777 points on the Jewish New Years Day?
Obama is asking us to believe in his version of change as if he is some political messiah ushering in his own kingdom. Who does he think he is?
First of all, I am glad I serve a god who does not change. His attributes and nature remain always the same. See Malachi 3:6, "I am the LORD, I change not." With God there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17.
God warns us of the danger of man-made change in Romans 1. In an age of apostasy and departure from God people will be obsessed with "change". There were people who changed the glory of the uncorruptible God. Then they changed th truth of God into a lie. Thidly, they changed the natural of the sexes and became sodomites. Finally, God gave these poeple up to their own destruction.
What was the problem with the change those people believed in? They did not like to retain God in their knowledge, they had a reprobate mind and they were filled with all unrighteousness.
True change, however, comes from God. God changes people in conversion. It is not a political change. It is an inward change that works itself out.
This change begins when a sinner is born again by trusting Jesus Christ, who died for sinners, so that we might be saved. To be saved means to have forgiveness of sins, to receive a new nature that pleases God, to have the hope of a bodily resurrection and eternal life.
Jesus Christ is asking us to believe on Him. Study John 3:16-36!
The Bible advises us: "Change We Must". Yes, we must repent - have a change of heart and mind. Jesus Christ calls us to repentance in Lk. 13:3, Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
Once you are saved, God wants to change you. Change now means correction, Christian growth, sanctification. You are being changed daily by not conforming to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2. This means once you are saved it will change your thinking - your opinions, views, standpoint, perspective, etc.
Finally, you will be changed according to 1. Corinthians 15:51-55 when you receive a new glorified resurrection body that will not decay but we be like Christ Jesus.
The only real change I believe in comes throuugh Jesus Christ alone.
George Bush went to Iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction. But he found nothing. Now I am glad that Saddam Hussein is history, but Bush should have been honest and clearly state that all of this war action in Iraq deals solely with US interests - mainly oil. Not Kuwait. Not terrorism. Not weapons of mass destruction.
To me it seems increasingly absurd to go hunting for weapons of mass destruction in foreign countries far away, when the US is full of weaposn of moral destruction everywhere. If I go to a grocery store and am forced to see how other people clothe themselves or rather neglect to properly clothe the nakedness of their body I can tell that there is something wrong with society. When I see how people sit glued in front of a TV set with a child that is only 4 years old and watch divorce shows then I know there are some serious weapons of moral destruction in America.
Let us closer identify and then remove those weapons of moral destruction from our own home territory. I invite you to download and listen to the following message:

Thank you for listening.
Mr. Obama, you seem to be very concerned about the shape of the environment. You mention issues like climate change and global warming. Now some people tend to exaggeration and think they can save the planet by emitting less gases such as carbon dioxide. Let me tell you it is not our job to save the planet. But that is an expression I have noted in your speeches. Nobody should pride himself to be the savior of the planet. There is only one Savior and His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His job is not to save the planet, but to save souls before this present planet will perish and God will create a new and heaven and a new earth according to the scriptures.
I believe in energy conservation. However, my motive is not to save the planet. I conserve energy from an old-fashioned Christian standpoint of frugality, economy, utility, moderation and simplicity. I conserver energy so I pay less on utility so I can give more to missions or simply focus my money on issues that matter to me. The Bible teaches that waste is wrong. However, Bible-believing Christians know that it is futile to save the planet because the planet is doomed because of sin. Read about the global warming and the climate catastrophe in 2. Peter 3:9-16. This present evil world (Gal. 1:4) is not our hope and is not our home. That's why man must be born again, so he can have hope in the glory that shall be revealed.
But if you believe that carbon dioxide emission harm our planet, then why did you fly around the world in a Boeing 757 just to give speeches in front of foreign people that are not eligible to vote for you anyway? How does that Boeing 757 affect your carbon footprint? Sorry, I hate to use these fad words. Can you tell the American public how many tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases that Boeing 757 emitted on that world trip you made? How many gallons of kerosene did that jet burn up? If you become president of the USA, are you going to keep flying in the VC-25 Air Force One - the kerosene-guzzling refurbished Boeing 747-100? That plane is getting up in years and should be replaced by a more "green" jet or what do you think? Why not get real and put an end to the climate hysteria and hypocrisy?
Last year I made a trip to Germany myself. I did not hold a speech in Berlin but I preached in front of a small group of people in a rural village on the issue of "God is not wasteful". My scripture lesson was from Luke 15 where the prodigal son wasted his goods with riotous living. Modern America is guilty of the most wicked forms of riotous living. So many people are spoiled rotten with prosperity and wasteful habits such as buying too many vehicles that are too large, eating out, eating fast food, addicted to entertainment and sports, building megalomaniacal homes, churches and schools, etc. To make matters worse, the average Bible-Belt "Christians" are the worst of all when it comes to addiction to bad social habits. Bible Belt states have the highest divorce, bankruptcy and obesity rates.
Just like the prodigal son wasted his goods until nothing was left, so America is borrowing itself into bankruptcy. The prodigal son came to himself. So I pray that more Americans will come to themselves, arise and go back to the Bible basics. More people need to arise and come to Christ. Overbearing pride keeps many from coming to themselves. I hope true humility will open hearts for God.
You are invited to listen to a new episode of Ingo Breuer's conservative Christian podcast. This time we'll refute the fair speech presidential candidate Obama made in Berlin. Let's take our Bibles, expose the flattery and the propaganda for one-world government, economy and religion. That's what Obama tried to promote. Does he aspire to become president of the globalized world or the United States? The overbearing pride of this man is getting ugly. Can't America come up with some better presidential candidates? Obama does not even seem to believe in America. His definition of the United States is that this country is just a stepping stone toward a "more perfect union" which will ultimately be a one-world global tyranny.
