Operation Holy Night for Our Precious Infants: Success !

You are those who have continued with me in my trials

 (Luke 22:24, RSV Edition, Harmony Media)

Dear Brothers and Sisters for Life, Purity and Healing,

I cannot thank all of you enough who came last week to the board meeting.  We had over 200 people and we filled the auditorium and a great deal of the surrounding area.  We will probably meet again in the future and there is room for 1000.  Don't be shy and be ready to come and stand for life and purity.

A special thanks to the speakers; they were tremendous,  One speaker came straight from the airport, another barely got across the river, but they all made it.
I gave a message of healing.  I could tell that one board member really seem to have an old injury on her heart.  She was quoted in the Oregonian as saying the program is fine.  Please, please pray for her.

I so want to thank all of you again and again for your prayers and for your time last Monday.  Please continue to pray.  There was another hearing last week and one this week at school.  I have been directed to not work on multiplication tables with the students in my math class.  Please pray for a miracle of how I can accomplish this without teaching it.  This directive is so sad because when children learn to multiply it makes such a difference.

Please continue to pray for all those helping me, my lawyer James Leuenberger, my union representative, Kathi Koenig and a few other lawyers working in the background.  Kathi did ask that people do not contact her.  My lawyer specifically asked for prayers and he really appreciates all of you.  He is a fine man of faith and so supportive of me both legally and emotionally.

God Bless,
Bill

Dear Brothers and Sisters for Life, Purity and Healing,

And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

(Luke 1:43:44, RSV Courtesy of Harmony Media)

I wanted to thank you all again for your prayers and support. Monday, December 3, 2012 is the day that will go down in history where thousands came to a Portland Public School Hearing to stand for life and purity.

Please come and please bring your entire family. There is no better gift to give this Christmas Season than the gift of life.

All children should have their purity respected and should be able to have a good education by certified teachers and have the opportunity to marry and have children. Unfortunately Portland Public Schools and Planned Parenthood have other plans. I just got a hold of the latest school report for this year and look how race fits into Planned Parenthood's plans? Can someone please tell me why this is not profiling?

School	Percent of Students that are White	Planned Parenthood on Campus?
Jefferson	17.2%	Yes
Benson	28.7%	Yes
Roosevelt	30.8%	Yes
Madison	37.2%	Yes
Franklin	49.5%	No
Grant	65.6%	No
Cleveland	68.7%	No
Lincoln	75.4%	No
Wilson	77.8%	No

CCHD - "CHANGE AGENTS : Alinskyian Organizing among Religious Bodies"

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.

-- Saul Alinsky

A brief history of Alinsky and Catholic Campaign for Human Development e-booklet from Speroforum by Stephanie Block CMC
 
"CHANGE AGENTS : Alinskyian Organizing among Religious Bodies"

We are fortunate indeed to have a Catholic grassroots woman who, for decades, has kept a history of Saul Alinsky and his effect in our lives.  This woman's name is Stephanie Block from New Mexico.

In 2007, many Oregonians participated in three workshops that she and VOCAL presented in Portland, Salem and Bend: "Justice in Pieces".  You can still get a Powerpoint CD and handout that the members of the workshops received.  This is a free gift so send VOCAL your address and it will be sent right out.

The name Saul Alinsky has been tied to the Catholic Church since the beginning and we still keep this mindset alive by our ignorance and trust.  How can our Church leaders be so lost?  Catholics and Christian denominations generate massive amounts of money, but more importantly lead the faithful astray and in Oregon the Earth Charter is sometimes the focus instead of the Catechism. (VOCAL has more posts about this..just enter "Earth Charter" in the front of the blog for this and any other question".
 
The Rules for Radicals 

• RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
• RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
• RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
• RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
• RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
• RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
• RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
• RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
• RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
• RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
• RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
• RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

• We can ask Stephanie Block to re-visit our state and have some quality time asking questions about Oregon and CCHD.  Let your voice be heard.  REFORM CCHD NOW

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you...sorry this is a little late.

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”   G.K. Chesterton

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."  Colossians 3:17

Bishops Reject Left-Wing Agenda at Fall Conference Nov. 12-15

Bishops Reject Left-Wing Agenda

November 14, 2012

Bill Donohue comments as follows:

Last week, Catholic left-wingers felt emboldened. This week they are in despair. At the meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore, the bishops once again committed themselves to the civil rights of the unborn, the defense of marriage, and the cause of religious liberty. Thus those Catholics who reject the Church’s teachings on abortion and marriage, and who support the anti-Catholic mandate being imposed by Health and Human Services, lost big time. Moreover, a vaguely worded document on the poor, which was not distributed to the bishops until they arrived at the meeting, was shot down.

Cardinal Dolan: Not Giving Up Fight Against Obamacare

It is important for the practicing-Catholic community—the only subset that really counts—to understand that there are any number of front groups out there who deceitfully use the Catholic label to advance their agenda. Three such entities that are condemning the bishops are Catholics for Choice, Catholics United, and Faithful America.

Catholics for Choice is the oldest of the anti-Catholic front groups—it is a creature of the Ford Foundation and has no members—and it told the bishops that they need to “realize the error of their ways.” There are two groups lecturing the bishops to “refocus their attention on caring for the poor and vulnerable” (by which they mean pushing for more welfare): Catholics United and Faithful America; the former was founded with seed money from atheist billionaire George Soros, and the latter is an online hybrid of another Soros-funded front group, Faith in Public Life.

 

Remember all those Catholic left-wingers who for years were singing the refrain about the need to achieve common ground? Some of us never believed them, and now at least one of them has admitted that this was a ploy all along. “It is said after every election that the victors should put politics aside and work for the good of the country,” wrote E.J. Dionne this week. Then he unloaded: “If President Obama believed this pious nonsense, he would put his second term in jeopardy.” Nice to know he does not want the president to “work for the good of the country.”
