But it looks like the opposition is gathering signitures for an initiative of their own. See here … Read More
Get Ready for the New Congress
It seems that democrats plan on resurrecting the issue of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research early on in the next session. “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says a measure similar to the one President Bush vetoed earlier this year will be voted on during the first 100 business hours of the next congressional session that begins in January.” Lucky … Read More
Nicaraguan President Signs Abortion Ban
I wish we had more politicians like this in America: MANAGUA, Nicaragua: Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolanos signed a bill Friday banning abortion in all cases — including when a woman’s life is endangered — despite opposition from doctors, women’s rights groups and diplomats. Presidential spokesman Lindolfo Mojarretz told The Associated Press that Bolanos signed the bill Friday and that it … Read More
Conservatives to Republicans: Stand Up for Your Values!
Jill Stanek, from World Net Daily, reports that perhaps election day was not really a set back for pro-lifers.

We Need This Man in the Senate…
Or in the Oval Office! So, I wasn’t planning on posting anything today. But, I would be really sad to see this man voted out today. Senator Rick Santorum is an amazing defender of the family and human life and it would just be a shame to see the people of Pennsylvania not reward his good service. I pray that … Read More
Praying for Elections
Last night there was a Prayer Rally to Defeat Amendment 2 in Fulton Missouri. It was a wonderful time of praise and worship calling on God to help us defeat Amendment 2 tomorrow. I gave a little pep talk during the rally. I had to write out what I was going to say of course (there is a link to … Read More

This picture was taken at the University of Missouri vs. Oklahoma football game in Columbia last week. The plane flew over the stadium for most of the beginning of the game. Pretty clever! Way to go MRL!
