Ask a Horse – Family Values Are Key

PI2013 #732 – Family Values Are Key

ASK A HORSE

“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.” ~ John Paul II

Tuesday,November 12th, 2013

Liberty Lovers,

http://www.usdebtclock.org: Every American Taxpayer Now “Owes” “The (federal) State” $149,456, every citizen $54,060.

“Break up the institution of the family, deny the inviolability of its relations, and in a little while there would not be any humanity.” ~ E. H. Chapin

Families Are America’s Building Blocks; America will stand strong when Her families are strong, crumble when families crumble. People assimilate their values, good and bad, from family experiences. Enduring nations are characterized by strong families.

Absent Family Ties, People learn character and confidence by other means. Families are our first and foremost examples of how we recognize how we are to find our way successfully as society members. Families teach us individual strength to stand by our beliefs, lest outsiders would entice us to set those beliefs aside.

Diversity Has Forced Departure from traditional family concept definition and example. “We, the American People” need to be on guard to assure this departure does not distort or erode principles of Liberty imbedded in family values.

“There is one class of men who . . . have taken a keen and practical interest in the constitution of the Family, . . . Statesmen. They have realized how intimately the welfare of the State depends upon the influence and nature of the Families . . . and they have endeavored that the State in turn should mould and influence the Family to its own purposes.” ~ Helen Wendy Bosanquet

People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to authorize public (‘government’/”State”) schools to delve into their children’s attitudes, values, or beliefs. They raise their children to be independent, self-reliant, and to think for themselves.

Senator Toomey Breaks Promise to Pennsylvania Voters

November 12, 2013

Senator Toomey Breaks Promise to Pennsylvania Voters,
Time for Citizens to Hold Him Accountable

It is deeply disappointing and troubling that U.S. Senator Pat Toomey broke his promise to Pennsylvania voters that he would oppose the “Employment Non-Discrimination Act” (ENDA) should it come before the Senate. Last week, he not only voted to bring ENDA to the floor for a vote (one of only seven Republican senators to do so); he then voted for passage of ENDA without the religious liberty protections he said it needed.

ENDA is a false bill of goods: while it claims to end discrimination, this bill in fact fosters discrimination against business owners and employers with sincerely held religious beliefs.

Background: In 2010, when seeking the open U.S. Senate seat for Pennsylvania, Toomey assured voters he would oppose such legislation. In his signed response to the Pennsylvania Family Council Voter’s Guide Survey, Toomey circled “O” for “Oppose” on this question: Do you support or oppose “Passing a law prohibiting employers from discriminating on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation?”

Candidate Toomey made it plainly known in the 2010 Pennsylvania Family Council Voter’s Guide that he would oppose ENDA-type legislation. Last week, he did the opposite, and in addition, issued a statement saying he has long supported such proposals – going back to 1996. Something is not right here.

We at the Pennsylvania Family Council recognize that many of you rely on our Voter’s Guide each election cycle; so much so that you have helped to distribute hundreds of thousands of printed guides to your church, family and friends, and used our online guide at PAFamilyVoter.com.

In between elections, we encourage your active citizenship, including the important duty to hold our elected officials accountable. Now is such a time. We encourage you to join us in E-mailing, phoning or writing to Sen. Toomey to express your disappointment and to question his vote, in spite of his stated position as recent as our 2010 Voter’s Guide. As always, please remember to: (1) be gracious and professional in your communications to our elected leaders and (2) pray for those in authority (I Timothy 2:1-2).

Call to action – Senators Toomey and Casey Scheduled to Vote Dangerous Bill That Threatens Religious Freedom and Conscience

November 1, 2013
Senators Toomey and Casey Scheduled to Vote
Dangerous Bill That Threatens Religious Freedom and Conscience

Employers know best what qualities or characteristics are relevant to performing a particular job, not the federal government. So why does Congress want to inject itself into business owners employment decisions?
This is the question that needs to be asked as the Senate moves to vote on the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill that would prohibit businesses from taking into account any conduct related to “actual or perceived sexual identity or gender identity” when making employment decisions even if it violates their religious beliefs or if it is inappropriate for their workplace.
ENDA would force religious business owners and workplaces such as Christian bookstores, religious publishing houses, pre-schools and religious television and radio stations to accept as normal any employee who has had a sex-change surgery, any employee who has changed or is “transitioning” their public “gender identity” (regardless of whether they have had surgery or hormone treatments), transvestites (people who dress as the opposite sex on an occasional basis for emotional or sexual gratification), and drag queens or drag kings (people who dress as the opposite sex for the purpose of entertaining others).
Making matters worse, “perceived gender identity” status does not require sex-change surgery, so ENDA would allow some biological males (who claim to be female) to enter and even appear nude before females in bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers. Situations like this have already been reported in several states with ENDA like laws such as Maine, Colorado and California.
ENDA offers no guidance on how employers should deal with these situations and opens them up to costly lawsuits by inviting disgruntled employees to sue for “discrimination” over a characteristic (in the case of sexual orientation) which is not even visible and of which the employer may have been unaware. This has already been seen in the case of public employers (which are explicitly covered by ENDA) where such laws at the local and state level have led to large settlements being paid at taxpayers’ expense.
Please contact US Senators Pat Toomey and Bob Casey, Jr and urge them to oppose S. 815, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act as it imposes on employers freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of conscience and the free market economy.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION TODAY!

CALL YOUR U.S. Senators and ask them to please Vote NO on S. 815, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Congress should not tell private employers whom to hire or make sexual orientation or gender identity a protected class. It’s a matter of protecting the right of conscience and religious freedom.

Call Pat Toomey at 202-224-4254
Call Bob Casey, Jr at 202-224-6324
Or contact them both by using our Citizen Action Center.
