Just as important, please also ask him to declare the facts about adult stem-cell research and results, which the MSM refuses to report. While S.5 passed by a comfortable margin, 63-34, supporters still fell shy of the 67 votes needed to override President Bush's promised veto.

Unprecedented Growth in Social Security's "Earnings Suspense File"   (tscl.org) The Growing Cost of Illegal Immigration To Social Security

$2.2 trillion illegal alien taxpayer sticker shock 2/3 of immigrants cost Americans $22,449 a year, shows new study
(WorldNetDaily.com) Someone has finally fixed an approximate taxpayer cost of between 12 million and 15 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S. A new study by the Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector found a household headed by an individual without a high school education, including about two-thirds of illegal aliens, costs U.S. taxpayers more than $32,000 in federal, state and local benefits. That same family contributes an average of $9,000 a year in taxes, resulting in a net tax burden of $22,449 each year.  Read The Full Story

What Colleges Don't Teach, Phyllis Schlafly (The Conservative Voice)

At SFSU, 'Allah' Carte Protections of Free Speech  (frc.org) I just heard about this and thought you might find this case of "flag desecration" interesting. It was not Old Glory that was burned or stomped on this time; it was two replicas of banners representing terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. College Republicans (CR) hosted an anti-terrorism rally and, according to the Washington Times, "stomped on pieces of paper they had painted to look like flags..." After the incident a Muslim student filed complaints against the CRs because the Arabic script on the paper had the word "Allah" and the stomping was therefore blasphemy. Unlike the indifference that most university officials have to the burning of the American flag, they quickly responded to this complaint and filed charges against the students for "incivility" and creating a "hostile environment." The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, aptly called FIRE, is representing the rally organizers and urging the administration to "spare [itself] the embarrassment of fighting the Bill of Rights." Surely a university, of all places, recognizes the students' inherent rights to express their opinions--however unpopular they may be. As Frederick Douglass said, "Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground." Expect this type of persecution of political incorrectness only to intensify if Congress passes the "Hate Crimes" bill that is now before them. It will further encourage this type of outrageous behavior displayed by the university. Additional Resources - Do College Republicans Hate Allah?

Big labor’s anti-business campaigns (Heritage Foundation) After decades of declining membership, labor unions are becoming increasingly desperate to sign up more members.

Are Americans Snowed In or Snowed Over? Debunking Global Warming Myths (cfif.org) Many Americans awoke Sunday morning to celebrate Easter sunrise services in the glow of snow. Meanwhile, the Sunday morning political talk shows were filled with alarmist liberals crying "global warming catastrophe." "The hysteria is all a bunch of hot air," says Christopher Horner, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism. "For years, the Left has been using over-hyped environmental crises and faulty science as excuses to limit our freedoms and justify 'reforms' from pollution control to tax increases." In his new book, Horner blows the whistle on myths disseminated by the liberal media, revealing how green activists, wealthy social and entertainment elites, and Big Business have created the "global warming" movement to advance their agenda at the expense of the American economy and the average American. Recently, Christopher Horner joined CFIF Corporate Counsel and Senior Vice President Renee Giachino to discuss his book and dispel the "global warming" myths of the Left, including what Horner refers to as "Al Gore's Inconvenient Ruse."

Contemplate (What is the Kingdom of God?)

American Minute for April 16th: On APRIL 16, 1859, French historian Alexis de Tocqueville died. After nine months of traveling the United States, he wrote Democracy in America in 1835, which has been described as "the most comprehensive...analysis of character and society in America ever written." Alexis de Tocqueville wrote: "Upon my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention...In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united." De Tocqueville continued: "The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other...They brought with them into the New World a form of Christianity which I cannot better describe than by styling it a democratic and republican religion." In Book Two of Democracy in America, de Tocqueville wrote: "Christianity has therefore retained a strong hold on the public mind in America...In the United States...Christianity itself is a fact so irresistibly established, that no one undertakes either to attack or to defend it."

Democracy without God is man's worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence or humanism, where man becomes his own measure for morality, judgment, and justice. Myles Munroe Kingdom Principles
