Pro-Life Action

Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert is spearheading Pro-Life legislation (SB6) in Arkansas which could very well become the case brought to the Supreme Court that determines if Roe v. Wade is overturned, like the Dredd Scott decision and Plessy v. Ferguson, both of which were bad legal precedent and overturned. You can help in these Pro-Life efforts by doing any or all of these three things:

. 1. Share this video interview of Abby Johnson and Jason Rapert
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgw8771HECg">youtube
or
Flashpoint

. 2. Contact Arkansas Govenor Asa Hutchinson asking him to protect life by signing SB6, either at Sen. Rapert website or Arkansas Gov

. 3. Support Christian Politicians, and faithful Catholic Politicians by staying informed, speaking up, praying and spreading the word. Learn about groups such as the National Association of Christian Lawmakers,
- Closest State chairpersons are in NH and VT. Maybe we need one in MA.

Without God, there is no virtue, because there is no prompting of the conscience … without God, there is a coarsening of the society; without God, democracy will not and cannot endure … if we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under. - President Ronald Reagan

Democracy & Covid Update
Also proposed in the $1.9T Covid Relief bill
- $1.5 million earmarked for the Seaway International Bridge, which connects New York to Canada. Senate Leader Chuck Schumer hails from New York.
- $50 million for “family planning” – going to non-profits, i.e. Planned Parenthood, or public entities, including for “services for adolescents[.]”
- $852 million for AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps Vista, and the National Senior Service Corps – the Corporation for National and Community Service – civic volunteer agencies. This includes $9 million for the AmeriCorp inspector general to conduct oversight and audits of the largess. AmeriCorps received a $1.1 billion FY2020 appropriation.
- $470 million in the bill doubles the budgets of The Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment of the Arts and the Humanities.
- $200 million in the bill to The Institute of Museum and Library Services (FY2019 budget: $230 million). This agency is so small that it doesn’t even employ an inspector general.
- $270 million funds the National Endowment of the Arts and the Humanities (FY2019 budget: $253 million) – In 2017, our study showed eighty-percent of all non-profit grant making flowed to well-heeled organizations with over $1 million in assets.
- $350 billion to bailout the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The allocation formula uses the unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Therefore, states like New York and California –who had strict economic lockdown policies and high unemployment – will get bailout money. States like Florida and South Dakota – who were open for business – will get less.
- $128.5 billion to fund K-12 education. The CBO determined that most of the money in education will be distributed in 2022 through 2028, when the pandemic is over.
- $86 billion to save nearly 200 pension plans insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. There are no reforms mandated while these badly managed pensions are bailed-out. Many of these pension plans are co-managed by unions.
- $50 billion goes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A portion of these funds is earmarked to reimburse up to $7,000 for funeral and burial costs related to COVID deaths.
- $39.6 billion to higher education. This amount is three times the money – $12.5 billion – that higher ed received with the massive CARES Act funding from last March.
- $1.5 billion for Amtrak – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. In FY2020, Congress appropriated $3 billion for Amtrak ($2 billion in annual appropriations, plus an additional $1 billion in the CARES Act COVID relief bill). In the three years before the pandemic, AMTRAK lost $392 million – even after a $5 billion taxpayer subsidy (FY2017-FY2019).

God bless you all, Buckle up! Keep the Faith – remember you believe in Jesus, not people who purport to represent Jesus.
