  • What the Media Gets Wrong

    The main stream media tries very hard to get the facts correct but every once in while they get it wrong.

    LGBTQ rights are NOT a threat to religious liberty – When the Supreme Court and the media portray LGBTQ rights as a threat to religious liberty, it actually hurts the religious liberty of pro-LGBTQ Christians, including churches that celebrate marriage equality and ordain LGBTQ clergy. According to the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, “Vast majorities of most major religious groups support nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people.” This includes more than 75% of Catholics of color, white Catholics, white mainline Protestants, Black Protestants, Jewish Americans, Muslims, Unitarian Universalists, Hindus, and Buddhists — and even 61% of white evangelicals. 1

    It could have been worse – Listen carefully to many inexperienced reporters say the phrase, “It could have been worse.” This is a terrible thing to say when a disaster hits and kills several people. This phrase must be erased from any reporter’s vocabulary.

  • How The Republicans are Trying To Destroy Your Voting Rights

    Republicans Limiting Your Voting Rights

    The Supreme Court is hearing oral argument for Moore v. Harper.

    1) Republicans are basing their argument on the “independent state legislature” (ISL) theory — a far-fetched legal theory that claims that state legislatures are the ONLY state entities with the power to regulate federal elections.

    2) If the Supreme Court sides with the power-hungry politicians in this case, the fair congressional map in North Carolina will be replaced with the gerrymandered map that the state court deemed unconstitutional.

    3) Worst case scenario, the ISL theory opens the door for power grabs by anti-democratic advocates and elected officials in other gerrymandered states. By claiming that state legislatures have exclusive power over federal elections, extremists in Republican state legislatures could effectively nullify state constitutional provisions that protect voters.

    Being Thankful Changes the Way We See the World by Ross Reck

    Thank You

    “David R. Henson made a post to his blog that that grabbed my attention, and I would like to share part of it with you. “Studies show that spending time counting our blessings, keeping a gratitude journal, or writing letters of thanksgiving to our family, friends and mentors is one of the most reliable ways to lift our mood and transform our outlook on life…. The antidote to fear isn’t courage. The antidote to worry isn’t faith. The antidote to anxiety isn’t a devil-may-care attitude. Rather, the antidote, I believe, is gratitude. It’s thanksgiving. Something profound and transformative happens when we give thanks and live our lives in gratitude…. And if we make a lifelong practice of it, it fundamentally shifts the way we view the world.”” – Ross Reck
