 PATRIOTIC & SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS MEMO: There are many individuals & organizations that claim to be "patriotic," but their "love" for our country is clouded by their lack of religious beliefs that our Founding Fathers possessed. Many politicians even claim to be "Christian," but since they do not truly practice their Faith, once they occupy a political office they continue to be more concerned with serving themselves and achieving their own selfish goals than they are with serving God & our country in an honest & humble manner. The organizations shown below appear to be made up of individuals who truly care about social and moral values and truly love our country. I hope you will also honor their ideals and help them through your prayers and through your participation in the work they are attempting to do for the good of society, and for the good of our nation. Thank you & God bless you.

American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) - "Through our work in the courts and the legislative arena, the ACLJ is dedicated to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms.

Centuries ago, our Founders boldly proclaimed to the world a distinctly American faith in democracy; a faith rooted in the self-evident truths that 'all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'... Sadly, the culture of death continues to be promoted in our media, courts and legislatures. Millions of unborn children have been killed over the last 30 years as a result of our country’s selfishness, justified under the euphemisms of choice and privacy." Ashbrook Center - "Scholarly defense of individual liberty, limited constitutional government and civic morality, which together constitute our democratic way of life."

We work to clarify the ways in which moral principles shape the choices that political leaders must make in our democracy." First Amendment Center - Freedom also requires that we be responsible for our actions. However, this is not always understood by our courts and those who seek to hide behind the First Amendment.

Our growing, global network of pro-life groups spans over 30 countries." Terrorism Awareness Project - "This threat did not begin with 9/11. The 1990’s were marked by a series of Islamic terror attacks against the United States. The response of our elected officials was mainly passive in the face of these attacks. Missiles were launched into Afghanistan and Iraq by the Clinton Administration but to little effect and not as part of a sustained response." The American Conservative Union - "We reaffirm our belief in the Declaration of Independence, and in particular the belief that our inherent rights are endowed by the Creator.
