BOYCOTT! The Home Depot promotes the homosexual agenda

American Family Association reports – “Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake kept his word when he told shareholders earlier this month that his company would continue to support gay marriage activists and activities.

Last weekend, Home Depot sponsored the Southern Maine Pride event in Portland. During the opening ceremony, emcee Khris Francis thanked the company and shouted “Gay men just l-o-v-e Home Depot” over the loud speaker system. . . ”

MINISTRY VEHICLES: How California Policy Could Affect Your Church

Christian Law Association to take action to help protect the historic rights of churches to use their buses in reaching others with the Gospel. 

California regulations imposed on owners of diesel-fueled buses and trucks will soon require California churches and other non-profits to make expensive changes to older buses, making it a possibility their bus outreaches may be destroyed unless exempted from the regulations. This crisis prompted Christian Law Association to take action to help protect the rights of churches to use their buses in reaching others with the Gospel.

Statement of the Issue

California Air Resources Board’s Truck and Bus regulations designed to significantly reduce diesel emissions apply not only to commercial vehicles, but also to privately and publicly owned school buses that weigh 14,000 pounds and above.

The regulations require owners of these buses to begin installation of exorbitantly expensive engine retrofits by January 1, 2012, and to have replaced all older vehicles starting in 2015.

By 2023, nearly all buses that weigh over 14,000 pounds must have 2010 model year engines or equivalent.

Impact on California Churches and Nonprofits

The regulations do not exempt church- and nonprofit-owned buses.

Churches and nonprofits may need to pay over $35,000 per bus to comply.

Most church and nonprofit buses have a much lower annual use than vehicles used for commercial purposes.

Government grants are not available for low-use vehicles.

Churches and nonprofits use their buses to transport disadvantaged inner-city children and youth, without charge, to educational and worship activities and to provide social services to California citizens.

Churches and nonprofits operate their buses with no commercial or government funding.

How Can You Help?

Churches and other nonprofits offering transportation, educational, religious, and other social services at no charge to California citizens need the exemption from the California Truck and Bus Regulations that will cripple, if not kill, these nonprofits’ charitable outreaches.

Your support of the exemption petition to the Air Resources Board will carry great weight with the Board and demonstrate your recognition of the invaluable services churches and nonprofits provide to California citizens.

Write a strong letter of support in favor of the exemption petition to the Air Resources Board for low-mileage (under 10,000 miles per year), diesel-fueled vehicles owned by churches and other nonprofits.

If you will help, please:

1.   Address and Mail the letter to:

      Clerk of the Board

      Air Resources Board

      1001 I Street

      Sacramento, California 95814

 

2.   Send a copy of the letter to the person who is the state contact for this exemption effort:

 

      Pastor Jerry Vargo

      First Baptist Church of Long Beach

      1000 Pine Avenue

      Long Beach, CA 90813

Obama using doctors to identify gun owners

Dear Patriot,

Florida Governor Rick Scott signed first in the nation legislation last week preventing doctors from asking and recording information regarding whether or not a family has a gun in their house. It may surprise many of you who do not have young children that pediatricians across America have included questions of gun ownership in their standard patient documentation for the last few years under the guise of protecting children from accidental death. It should be noted that these doctors do not ask about swimming pools, staircases, elevated decks or cleaning chemicals that each year kill far more children than do accidents with guns.

The Federal government has been pushing doctors toward electronic medical records for the last 10 years and under Obamacare, it will become mandatory for all medical records to be stored in central data repositories that will be accessible by the government. Using this data, the government will be able to more easily identify which households have guns and which do not. The Brady Center for Gun Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics (both politically liberal organizations) have filed suit in Federal court to block the new law.

We fully expect the Obama Administration and Attorney General Eric Holder will join in the lawsuit much the same way they did regarding Arizona’s illegal immigration laws to allow the continued collection of gun ownership information. What better way to find out who owns the millions of legal but unregistered firearms than hide behind the liberal standard of “we just want it for the children”.

We encourage the safe storage and handling of all firearms, especially in those homes with children. It is the responsibility of every gun owner to make sure that firearm accidents are prevented. The pediatricians could easily give parents a handout on gun safety around children. They could also include safety information on pools, hot tubs, chemicals and other injury hazards. Don’t be fooled for a second that these questions are about protecting children.

This is about data collection, period. Are you getting nervous yet?

Sincerely,

Roger Stockton
