The sanctity of marriage in the Bible The Presidential Prayer Team is currently urging us to: "Pray for the President as he seeks wisdom on how to legally codify the definition of marriage. Pray that it will be according to Biblical principles." Here, in support of the Prayer Team's admirable goals, is a proposed Constitutional Amendment codifying marriage entirely on Biblical principles: A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.) B. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21) C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21) D. Marriage between a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30) E. Since marriage is for life, neither this Cons...

National "I'm Embarrassed by My President" Day = April 1st, 2004 Are you embarrassed by the arrogance, greed, shortsightedness, selfishness, and outright lies told by George W. Bush? Join tens of thousands of others across the country and world and wear a brown armband or ribbon to symbolize all the BS coming out of the White House. It's not just that I disagree with the current dministration. I'm outraged. And I'm downright embarrassed to talk to anyone from another country. I'm embarassed to have an President so arrogant, so dishonest, so hawkish, that in three years, he has nearly destroyed any good relations we had before he took office, and worsened those that were already bad. I find myself apologizing to my foreign friends both in this country and abroad while trying vainly to explain the sheer idiocy and illogic of the current administration's policies. So this April 1st, April Fools day, join tens of thousands of others w...

Targetting Martha Stewart Was Martha Stewart Targeted Because She is a Major Democratic Contributor and a Woman? Where is Ken Lay? (an article from Democracy Now, dated March 11th, 2004 ) No charges have yet been brought against former Enron chairman Ken Lay who was a close friend of President Bush and a major Republican campaign contributor, while Martha Stewart, who is a major Democratic contributor,faces up to 20 years in prison for lying to a federal investigator. The Bush presidency has been marked by war. The invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq and now the apparent overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. But these three years have also been marked by rampant corporate crime. Enron, Tyco, Adelphia, WorldCom have all become household names. The Bush administration has said that it is a priority of the president to crack down on corporate crime. But most of the CEOs and corporate officials responsible for the collapse of huge companies and the loss of ...

Good Things About John Kerry's Environmental Record John Kerry was not my top choice for president, but he's a vast improvement over the current (p)resident. George W. Bush has demonstated that he has little regard for environmental safety or energy efficiency standards. There are many reasons why I think Bush is worst president in my lifetime, and the environment is a major issue. The League of Conservation Voters has a superb overview of John Kerry's environmental record in the Senate. I encourage you to check it out at: http://www.lcv.org/Campaigns/Campaigns.cfm?ID=1961&c=4

Willie Nelson still asks WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PEACE ON EARTH? Back in December, Willie Nelson wrote a song called "What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth." I posted some information about this song, and how it was going to be premiered at a Dennis Kucinich fundraiser. Then, by some odd fluke, I erased my own entry. I didn't erase any other entries. Just that one. Because Willie's message is so strong, I'm going to repost it.... What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth by Willie Nelson (all rights reserved) There's so many things going on in the world Babies dying Mothers crying How much oil is one human life worth And what ever happened to peace on earth We believe everything that they tell us They're gonna' kill us So we gotta' kill them first But I remember a commandment Thou shall not kill How much is that soldier's life worth And whatever happened to peace on earth And the bewildered herd is still be...
