Bonus Legislation
[Every week, we will try to spotlight some positive legislation that is worthy of conservative support.]
The Eliminate the Misuse and Abuse of Public (MAP) Funds Act
We all know that shrinking the welfare state and weaning people off dependency programs is not an easy task. But the least we can do is start with the low-hanging fruit, such as corporate welfare. At present, the federal government spends about $200 million a year on subsidizing marketing activities for large profitable corporations. The Market Access Program, which is run by the USDA, funds overseas marketing for large corporations and trade associations. Beneficiaries include companies like Welch's, Sunkist, and Blue Diamond. This program has funded such preposterous ventures as Japanese Twitter campaigns, reality TV shows in India, and international wine tastings. This sort of corporate welfare must end now. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) is sponsoring the Eliminate the Misuse and Abuse of Public (MAP) Funds Act. Find out if your member of Congress supports this bill.

Security Bulletin issued by DHS/FBI for Faith-based Organizations
On September 13, 2012 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a bulletin specifically for the private sector and faith-based organizations in an effort to deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks in the U.S. relating to domestic threats related to the crisis in the Middle East. While there is no specific threat at this time, the security breaches in U.S. embassies including the violent murders of diplomats, the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya, and the controversial film negatively depicting Mohammad sparked widespread violence in North Africa this week.
The attacks on the Libyan embassy appear to have been highly orchestrated and organized and the movie was used to aggravate the mobs of protestors outside U.S. embassies. The video while blocked by YouTube in many countries is still being aired in some parts of the Middle East and is continuing to incite violence. Despite U.S. Muslim leaders who have condemned the violence and inciting of Muslims in the Middle East the film has gained attention and DHS believes the risk of violence in the U.S. could increase. Again there is no specific threat at this time.
Due to the escalating situation in the Middle East, CEN strongly advises the Christian community to take specific protective measures such as:
- Train staff to be aware of unusual activities such as loitering or taking photos of facilities
- Develop emergency operation plans
- Establish safe rooms, shelter in place, and communication plans
- Posting sentries during worship services that are rotate and rove
- Establish relationship with local law enforcement and report suspicious activity
- Limit vehicle access to the perimeters of facilities
- Lock windows and doors, use fencing and gate locks
- Review faith-organization's website for any information that is sensitive
- Identify entry exits clearly to emergency evacuations

"Go Signal: American schools possibly targeted for terror"?
Brownsburg (Indiana) school district's website hacked - Re: Allah
The Brownsburg school district's website was hacked Wednesday night, displaying a posterlike graphic that purported to vow allegiance to Allah and a possible reference to a video that insults Islam and has triggered anger among Muslims worldwide.
The website was taken down, police are investigating, and parents can expect to receive more information today, district spokeswoman Donna Petraits said.
In a release sent out shortly before 8 p.m., Petraits said the apparent hacking had occurred earlier in the evening.
"District personnel and police are aggressively investigating how this happened and who is responsible," she said.
"(The district) apologizes for any offensive language or information on the site and for the inconvenience of its unavailability. The website will be up as soon as we are assured it is safe," Petraits' statement said. "More information will be available as the investigation continues."
The school district's home page was replaced with an image with a black background, a dominant stylized word or phrase designed to appear to be in Arabic and credited to be from a group representing "All Moslems of the World," according to a screen grab on WISH-8's website.
Below that, text in white said, "This breakthrough in response to the film and graphics depicting the master of the world may Allah bless him and grant him peace." Below that, in red text: "Coming, soon you will hear voices of our swords."

Brownsburg police say the person who hacked the Brownsburg Community School Corp. website Wednesday night was from Iraq, and is known for promoting propaganda but not inciting violence. Read more.
-- Please pray for safety for the schools in your own communities. May all law enforcement personnel, as well as campus security teams, be especially "on alert" in coming days for any unusual behavior or item seen on campus, and respond accordingly. Pray Psalm 91 over your schools!

1. Marines on Ground in Yemen as Mobs Attack Embassies in Tunisia, Sudan - Fox News
URGENT: Angry Muslim mobs scale walls of US Embassies in Sudan and Tunisia, breaking windows and setting fires as anti-American violence flares in Cairo and throughout North Africa and Middle East following attacks on US diplomatic posts on 9/11. Violence also spread to Tripoli, Lebanon where a mob burned KFC and Arby's restaurants in protest of Pope Benedict's visit.
~Abba, we cry out to You for the return of sanity to the streets in all these countries where angry mobs are causing destruction and loss of life. Father, we come against spirits of lawlessness, hatred and murder, and we put the blood of Yeshua, the only Saviour of the world, over these embassies, the Pope, and all the innocent people. We know that "as it was in the days of Noah" so shall it be when You return for Your bride. Lord, we read that the "whole earth was filled with violence" in those days, and again, we see it unfolding now in these attacks on our embassies, and in the streets. We do bind up fear and violence, and release repentance and restoration to these trouble spots throughout our world. O Prince of Peace, bring peace to these volatile situations, we pray. Amen.
- "Day and night they are all around its walls, and evil and trouble are everywhere inside. Destruction is everywhere in the city; trouble and lying never leave its streets." (Psalm 55:10,11)
2. Telephoned bomb threats prompt evacuations at University campuses in Texas, North Dakota -Fox News
Thousands of people streamed off university campuses in Texas and North Dakota on Friday after phoned-in bomb threats prompted evacuations and officials warned students and faculty to get away away as quickly as possible. No bombs were found on either campus by early afternoon it was not clear whether the threats were related.
~Abba, we ask that these bomb threats would stop in Yeshua's Name. We put the blood of Yeshua over all these campuses, and all buildings and people who may be threatened. We ask for Your peace that passes all understanding, to rule and reign in the hearts of Your people. Give wisdom to those who are tasked with the responsibility of protecting these students and all the people who may be affected by these acts. We pray that it would come to a quick conclusion, and that there be no loss of life. We do pray for those who are instigating these attacks, and ask that they be brought to a saving knowledge of You. We pray they will repent and put their trust in You, O Lord. Amen.
"- For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)
3. California man confirms role in anti-Islam film - Yahoo Finance
The anti-Muslim film, implicated in mob protests against US. diplomatic missions in the Mideast, received logistical help from a man once convicted of financial crimes and featured actors who complained that their inflammatory dialogue was dubbed in after filming. The self-proclaimed director of "Innocence of Muslims" initially claimed a Jewish and Israeli background. But others involved in the film said his statements were contrived, as evidence mounted that the film's key player was a southern California Coptic Christian with a checkered past. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, told The Associated Press in an interview outside Los Angeles Wednesday, that he managed logistics for the company that produced "Innocence of Muslims", which mocked Muslims and the prophet Muhammad. His Grace Bishop Serapion of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Los Angeles, Southern California and Hawaii, said Thursday he doesn't support the views portrayed in the movie and he also condemned the murders of the U.S. ambassador and three others. Serapion learned Thursday that a long-lost member of his congregation at the Bellflower parish is the same man federal authorities say was behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited violence against U.S. embassies in the Mideast. Serapion said Nakoula hadn't been noticed by the priest at services in a very long time.
~Father, we come asking You to intervene in this explosive situation, for the sake of the innocent people suffering as a result of anothers actions. We pray for this man, who has expressed his hatred for Muslims through this incendiary film. We ask that he would come to know You and be delivered from these tormenting spirits of anger, prejudice, and murder. We also pray for those acting out violently. We ask that they, too, would be delivered from these same spirits, and exercise self-control. We bind up spirits of violence and terror, and loose peace and restraint. We ask, Lord, that there be no "backlash" against Coptic Christians, in that this man responsible for this film, claims to be one. We note he is not attending services, and his actions do not represent the sect as a whole. Protect them we pray. Amen.
-"For you have made Adonai, the Most High, Who is my refuge, your dwelling-place. No disaster will happen to you, no calamity will come near your tent; for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go." (Psalm 91:9-11)
4. QE3: Fed Pulls Trigger, to Buy Mortgages in Effort to Lower Rates - CNBC
The Federal Reserve fulfilled expectations of more stimulus for the faltering economy, taking aim now at driving down mortgage rates until an improvement in unemployment that the central bank says will be a problem for several years.
b.) Social Security and Disability Payments Hit Annual Records - With One Month Left in Fiscal Year - CNS News
By the end of August, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Treasury, the federal government had already paid out record annual amounts in both Social Security and disability benefits during fiscal 2012 -- even though there was still a month left in the year.
~Lord, we know this is an election year, and we also know the economy is on a slide downward. We see that the Federal Reserve, and U.S. Treasury, are trying to paint this disaster in a good light, to help those running for reelection. We again ask, Lord, for Your light to shine in the darkness, and expose those things that need to be exposed and dealt with intelligently. We pray for truth, honor, and integrity to enter this economic situation, and turn it around for good to all those who are adversely affected by this "out of control" spending. May we sow good seed, and reap a harvest of needs being met. In Yeshua's Name we pray, Amen.
- "Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them. Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well. So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:32-34)
5. Congress told: U.S. Life 'Unsustainable' after EMP - WND
Congress today was told that the Department of Homeland Security hasn't identified an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, event as a serious national security threat to the nation's grid system even though testimony revealed it could making living in the United States "unsustainable" for 70 to 90 percent of the population.
~Lord, we come to You, asking that You will restrain any and all nations from launching an EMP attack, which would devastate and annihilate so many people. Surely, You will need to intervene to keep us from annihilating ourselves, on Planet Earth. If life in the U.S. would be "unsustainable" for 70-90% of the people, how much worse in other less developed countries? We come against fear of such an attack, and ask for Your divine intervention, our precious Prince of Peace! Amen.
- "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." (Philippians 4:6-8)
6. Dems apologize for using Russian warships in convention tribute to vets - Fox News
Democrats apologized Wednesday for using a fleet of Russian warships as the backdrop for a Democratic National Convention tribute to U.S. military veterans, blaming a vendor for the mistake.
~ Lord, we ask that the Dems will own their own mistakes, and stop playing the "blame game". We are amazed that none of them noticed, and that a tribute to our troops would actually feature one of our enemies' fleet. Lord, we choose to forgive this offense to our troops and to us as a nation. We ask for more diligence on the Dems behalf, and not repeat this in four years at the next Convention. Amen.
- " Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men." (Proverbs 22:29)

From the Sublime to the Ridiculous
There seems to be a fine line between sublime and ridiculous. For example, the occupant of the Oval Office's bravado in announcing his "new day" foreign policy with Islam has turned into a national security nightmare for America reminiscent of Jimmy Carter. The first lady is not far behind in her attack on obesity. She enthusiastically agreed on the Dr. Oz Show that obesity is the greatest national security threat. Islamic terrorists in Libya and Egypt, whose new "democratic" governments were funded in a large part by American tax dollars, are burning the US Flag and murdering our diplomats, and this White House issues a statement that we should not do things to hurt Muslims' feelings.
Fat people and Americans who criticize the violent and oppressive Islamic culture are a national security risk, while Libyan Islamists can kill our diplomat and his aides, parade his half naked body around the streets, and burn our Embassy and the president and the secretary of state apologize for someone being offensive to Islam. The occupant of the Oval Office refuses a meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel, a close ally of the US, while at the same time putting on his schedule the newly elected President of Egypt--a leader of the terrorist sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood. For those of us who remember the Jimmy Carter era, this presidency is far surpassed Carter's incompetence both domestically and in foreign policy.
"Blame it on Bush," the president's shills say over and over again. It is far time to put the failings of George Bush in the rear view mirror. When this president entered the Oval Office, gas was $1.83 a gallon. Now it is over $3.80 a gallon. There are over 86 million people who have fallen off the unemployment roles, making true unemployment more than double during his term. America is in debt to the tune of 16 TRILLION dollars--that's $51,000 per citizen, over $140,000 per tax payer. I don't know about you, but the value of my home has declined over 30% since 2008, and many people have lost their homes and are destitute. The middle class, the little guy this president says he represents, is disappearing.
There are many reasons for the failures of US leadership. I believe it is because most Americans, who choose their leaders, are too busy trying to make ends meet to focus on the job their elected officials are doing. In fact, most Americans are so busy that they do not pursue a relationship with YHVH, which would give them the wisdom to manage their time and keep their morals and teach their families. Many, maybe most, are just not engaged. The Lord gave us the roadmap to choose leaders in Exodus 18:21, "Moreover, thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear YHVH, men of truth, hating covetousness..." Based on this moral and spiritual criteria, who deserves leadership?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
