Welcome Eric Scharn

Ron and I want to welcome Eric Scharn to our leadership team. He will project a youthful voice and enthusiasm to our meetings, outlook and philosophy. Eric is a founding Director of the group “Restoring American Values” now known as CIPA, “The Conservative Institute for Public Awareness,” he also is serving as the Vice-President of the Ronald Reagan Republican Club of Pinellas County. He and his wife, Patty, are elders of their local church, Countryside Christian Center, serving as teachers there.

Eric is a firm believer in following the Constitution exactly as it is written, work toward a smaller, less intrusive government at all levels, traditional family values including the sanctity of life, a strong military and secure National Borders.

Eric and Patty have lived in Clearwater since 1988 and have 4 daughters and 6 grandchildren, and have been faithful in attending our meetings regularly. Be sure to welcome Eric and Patty at our January 7^th meeting of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

FL Presidential Primary Voter Guide, Jan 31

This voter guide (http://www.frcaction.org/index.cfm?i=LK11L03&f=AL11L04) outlines candidate stances on issues that are important to the family. We researched the candidates' statements and votes on the ten issues that best give voters an understanding [of] the candidates [..] values. [more...]

YouCut – a first-of-its-kind project - is designed to defeat the permissive culture of runaway spending in Congress. It allows you to vote, both online and on your cell phone, on spending cuts that you want to see the House enact. Vote on this page today for your priorities and together we can begin to change Washington's culture of spending into a culture of savings.

How many times do we have to run this experiment before Republican primary voters learn that "moderate," "independent," "maverick" Republicans never win, and right-wing Republicans never lose? The Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain - by Ann Coulter 11.06.08

"The world expects of Christians that they will raise their voices so loudly and clearly and so formulate their protest that not even the simplest man can have the slightest doubt about what they are saying. Further, the world expects of Christians that they will eschew all fuzzy abstractions and plant themselves squarely in front of the bloody face of history. We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said." - Albert Camus [French writer and philosopher (1913-1960)]

Tips for New Voters
1.) If not registered, get registered, at least, 60 days prior to the election. Call your County Elections Office. [29 days in FL] 2.) When you sign up to vote, you will be asked if you want to choose a political party. It does not cost anything. 3.) Before the election, you will get a booklet from your County Elections Office. It will list all the candidates and measures that will be on your ballot. 4.) You don't have to vote on everything in an election. Just choose the things that interest you and learn more about them.	5.) You can choose to vote by mail. Apply for "an absentee ballot" using the form that comes with your Sample Ballot. Someone can help you fill it out if you like. Just be sure to return your ballot by election day. 6.) If you want to vote at the polls on election day, look for the address of your polling place on the mailing label of the Sample Ballot.

"During the creation of the Constitution, James Madison proposed a 'separation of powers,' dividing the government into three separate branches - an idea that mirrored the three functions of governance ascribed to the Lord in Isaiah 33:22: 'For the Lord is our Judge [judicial], the Lord is our lawgiver [legislative], the Lord is our king [executive].' " The Attack on America's Christian Heritage , Coral Ridge Ministries, August 2008

Someone has said if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.

Did you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America . If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation.

If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Please forward this to your praying friends.

Ronald Reagan had a rule of thumb when negotiating with the Democratic Congress. This rule was described to me by an associate of Reagan's as, "I show the American people the light. They turn up the heat on Congress." Your Friend, Newt in The Newt Gingrich Letter, February 16, 2011· Vol. 6, No.7

Frequently in politics there are rallies for righteousness, conservatism and Constitutionism that get side tracked, marginalized, watered down, by an emphasis on money such that the hoped for principled reform is left wanting. The YouCut link above is posted so that we can monitor some of the money issues without giving up the major reform goal which is a return to The Rule Of Law, legislating morality and a Pristine Constitution - the new PC! Somebody's morality will be legislated to rule over our nation. Whose morality will depend on who you vote for. ...

So vote for righteous people because your child's freedoms depend on it. (rek 6.24.10)
