President Barack Obama, “We have to reduce the influence of money in our politics.”
Congresswomen, Nancy Pelosi, “Without the help of End Citizens United, we NEVER would have elected a wave of reformers.”

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Has A Member That Is Part of A Hate Group
Tony Perskins [Member of a SPLC hate group] appointed by Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) – Photo from USCIRF Website The Family Research Council 1 has been listed as a anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Tony Perkins, Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom2, is president of this organization.
Tony Perkins, serving as chair, was appointed by Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) for a term expiring in 2020.
The videos are titled ‘It Gets Better.’ 3 They are aimed at persuading kids that although they’ll face struggles and perhaps bullying for ‘coming out’ as homosexual (or transgendered or some other perversion), life will get better. …It’s disgusting. And it’s part of a concerted effort to persuade kids that homosexuality is okay and actually to recruit them into that lifestyle. – Tony Perkins, FRC fundraising letter, August 2011
Today[July 18, 2019], the State Department is holding a major international conference on religious freedom — but as long as hate-group leader Tony Perkins is in charge of American efforts, the U.S. will have no credibility on this issue.
In 2015, Perkins argued that Muslims do not deserve religious liberty because Islam is “incompatible with the Constitution.” He has also said that pro-LGBT clergy should not have the religious liberty to conduct LGBT weddings. Perkins is clearly unfit for his new role as chair of the U.S. committee on religious freedom. Worse yet, he’s chairing the committee while remaining president of the Family Research Council — which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated an anti-LGBT hate group since 2010. Faithful America has beaten Perkins before, and we can do it again. Our grassroots advocacy convinced TV producers to stop booking him to represent Christianity. Now we must tell Congress to protect religious freedom from his hateful agenda. 4
Faithful America is encouraging their members and friends to “fight hatred” by signing their petition which can be done by Clicking Here.

Real Christians Don’t Define the Religious Right
Christians putting faith in action. Faithful America is the largest and fastest-growing online community of Christians putting faith into action for social justice. Their members are sick of sitting by quietly while Jesus’ message of good news is hijacked by the religious right to serve a hateful political agenda. They are organizing the faithful to challenge such extremism and renew the church’s prophetic role in building a more free and just society. 5

Attorney General William Barr Could Take A Lesson from George Washington
George Washington / painted by G. Stuart ; engraved by H.S. Sadd, N.Y. – Library of Congress Attorney General William Barr please pay attention. Write this on the caulk board 100 times.
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation.” – George Washington
George Washington wrote out a copy of the 110 Rules of Civility in his school book when he was about 14-years old. Vote for your favorite or comment on which Rule you think is still relevant today.
These maxims originated in the late sixteenth century in France and were popularly circulated during Washington’s time. This exercise, now regarded as a formative influence in the development of his character, included guidelines for behavior in pleasant company, appropriate actions in formal situations, and general courtesies.6
How can a future President of the United States see how these 16th century maxims could be so violated by our current US Attorney General? George Washington was wiser then some in current high positions in our government.
