ACTION

There is a debt of service due from every man to his country, proportioned to the bounties which nature and fortune have measured to him.

Thomas Jefferson[i]

Have you ever wondered what is meant by the term ‘public servants?’ I suppose these days it depends on who is either using or misusing the term. If you look at any of the signers of the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution, you will see men who believed in public service. And I will show you examples of this. I have absolutely no doubt the founding fathers of this nation knew what the term meant: to serve the public for the greater good; public servants. But what is today’s meaning? As I have shown in other treatises about the Legislative and Executive Branches, our politicians are extremely self-serving. They concern themselves with the aggrandizement of their bank accounts by trading stocks using classified information, they take money from lobbyists, they believe in nepotism even though House Ethics Rules forbid the practice and there have been earmarks where Congressmen have made vast sums of money at our expense. There have been incidents such as Watergate and Iran/Contra, plus there have been organizations like the Suite 8F Group. All of these examples have been of our present day public servants, but they only served themselves. I believe our illustrious, or should I say lusterless politicians believe public servant means something altogether different, such as the public as servants; public servants. The term public servants isn’t really a double entendre, but it has been perverted into just that; a term with a double meaning, which when used by our smiling two-faced professional prevaricators, has rendered us all into nothing more than offal on the slaughterhouse floor, to be devoured as carrion by our vulture-like politicians. I suggest we take a look at some of our forefathers and find out just what it means to be a public servant.

I found something interesting on a blog called Dover Beach. John Adams wrote, “Public business…must always be done by somebody…If wise men decline it, others will not; if honest men refuse it; others will not…Integrity should be preserved in all events…through every stage of his existence. His first maxim should be to place his honor out of reach of all men[ii].” John Adams does make me ask a few questions. Do our elected leaders today have this same belief? Are our leaders in any way wise or honest? Do they have integrity or honor? One might think that as the most powerful nation on the planet, the answer to these questions would be an unequivocal yes. Unfortunately, just the opposite would appear to be true. Our elected leaders are only wise in their deception to the public and their honesty is always a matter for debate. As far as integrity and honor, I seriously doubt you can have either if you aren’t wise and honest, but I would state our politicians possess neither. But there isn’t a reason to go over the dirty-laundry list of our politicians again; I would simply direct you to read some of my other treatises or read whatever you can find on our leaders of today, then you can answer the question yourself. This is more about the founding fathers of this nation and their beliefs with regard to public service, so we will know exactly what it is to serve the public. We can easily look back at history and state with certainty, the founders were an extremely wise and honorable group of men, who possessed a great deal of integrity and honor. All one really needs to do in order to know this is read the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and they will come to that conclusion.  John Adams finished his thoughts for the most part with these words, “In order to do this he must make it a rule never to become dependent on public employments for subsistence. Let him have a trade, a profession, a farm, a shop, something where he can honestly live, and then he may engage in public affairs, if invited, upon independent principles.” I cannot fathom in this day and age, a politician who isn’t a career politician; much less one who has undertook public affairs upon independent principles. Certainly some have been quite successful before they entered public office, but we see these people feeding from the public trough for twenty, thirty years at a time, while gorging themselves at the cost of our nation’s wealth and well being. And they consider themselves to be righteous! No matter how much they have, they want more and actually increase their net worth while in office at an astronomical rate. This isn’t public service, it’s gluttony and avarice.

Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it is obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.

James Madison[iii]

As I was reading George Washington’s first inaugural address, it made me think about what was just written about John Adams and his beliefs regarding public service. While it may seem as though I am actually going backwards, from the 2^nd U.S. President to the 1^st U.S. President, I believe what George Washington said in his first address simply underscores what John Adams averred. George Washington stated, “Since there is no truth more thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness; between duty and advantage; between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity; since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained[iv].” Washington’s ardent belief that man is perpetually bound by his association to the truth through the immutable bond between his virtue and his happiness, his moral obligation and his circumstance, his generous course of action and the blissful rewards of his office, reminds me of Adams when he spoke of wisdom, honesty, integrity and honor; without these four maxims which Adams spoke of so fervently, there can be no truth which Washington spoke of so eloquently. As our first President, Washington knew this new nation would rely on his wisdom, honesty, integrity and honor, and his duty as our first President relied on truth to the people. His reward was not only his happiness but the divine advantage given to him by the people and by God. Washington was happy to serve, he sought nothing more than the opportunity to be a public servant in a prosperous nation of people, “When I was first honored with a call into the service of my country…the light in which I contemplated my duty required that I should renounce every pecuniary compensation…I must decline as inapplicable to myself any share in the personal emoluments…and must accordingly pray that the pecuniary estimates for the station which I am placed…be limited to such actual expenditures as the public good may be thought to require.” I cannot say it enough times; George Washington’s only desire was to serve the public. His reward was the honor of the office itself; he eschewed any monetary compensation other than the expenses which were appropriate in relation to the Office or greater good of the nation. I realize there are politicians in this day and age who receive no more than $1 for their service, which is admirable. I can only believe they are not only fans, but followers of our forefathers. Men like Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison truly believed leadership was best accomplished by being a public servant, and by being a public servant they were able to lead by example.

I would like to take a moment and speak about the 5^th President of the United States, a man who is considered to be the last founding father of this nation who was President, James Monroe[v]. Monroe had a long history of public service to this nation; his final service was obviously as the President. Just prior to Monroe’s departure for Europe after being appointed as Minister to France in 1794, he gave his nephew some advice which gives us some insight into Monroe himself, “You may by your industry, prudence, and studious attention to your business…advance your fortune and reputation in the world, whereby alone your happiness or even tranquility can be secured[vi].” I believe Monroe was telling his nephew that only through the careful and diligent application of his endeavors would he truly be able to increase his wealth and his repute or good name. And from those endeavors alone would he find happiness and the inner-peace of an honest businessman. How many men these days tell their own sons such things? Monroe then said, “Solid merit and virtue alone will support and carry you with credit through the world.” Once again, here is a man who espouses good, hard, work not only done honestly but done with a good moral center or righteousness as a mantra for a way to live a good life.  But if you look at Monroe’s reasoning for telling his nephew this, you can see where public service comes into play. “The principle danger…if he errs, he inflicts the most incurable wound on his reputation, is the abuse of pecuniary confidence. Let me, therefore, warn you never to use your client’s money…for the protection of virtue, it should never be commenced.” This was really just the beginning of Monroe’s cautionary advice to his nephew with regard to vice and virtue. Monroe, like the rest of the founders, believed that virtues were Heavenly as vices were not. The belief that a man’s reputation was his name meant everything. If one was to get caught with their hand in the so-called cookie jar the lack of confidence in the man and his name would simply be irreconcilable. This all goes right back to George Washington and trust, John Adams and wisdom, honesty, integrity and honor. Without any of those five traits, there is no virtue, no good reputation and certainly no happiness or tranquility would or could follow a man throughout his life. Monroe further stated to his nephew, “I would make it one of those sacred rules of my life which should not be violated.” There can be no doubt James Monroe knew any type of service to others, especially public service, cannot be done without a virtuous reputation which fosters trust. Are we able to say this of our present day politicians? Think about the seven deadly sins and the seven Heavenly virtues for a moment. Most people could name the sins, but not the virtues. Which seven do our politicians follow?

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

George Washington[vii]

I have been asked why I write these papers. My only response can be that I find what the founders said and wrote to be extremely enthralling. That being said, and with regard to this paper, in no way do I claim these treatises are a public service of any kind. If anything, I believe they are simply a vehicle for me to express what infuriates me with regard to our government today and if these treatises actually possess anyone to think about the state of the union, if I am allowed to make that pun, I believe it is a good thing. But I cannot help but to compare our modern times and political leaders of the day with that time of our past political leaders which we call our forefathers and recognize the predominant chasm which exists between them. Truly, I believe if our politicians carried themselves in a manner akin to the forefathers of this nation, with the same passion for our Constitution and showed the wisdom and an honorable determination to lead by virtue rather than vice; perhaps I could and would be content. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

I was asked by a friend, “Why do you put your own name on these treatises rather than using a pen name? Don’t you think if they ever read this stuff you will get into trouble?” My response was actually quite simple. I told him, “Do you really think the shameless lot of bottom-feeders who are running this nation into the ground care about what I think or say? After all, I really have nothing to lose.” Certainly, any fraudulent charge could be trumped-up against anyone, but that’s nothing more than an exercise in futility. I say this because it would only tend to confirm what I write and what I claim to believe. Of course, the point is moot. After all, today’s politicians habitually speak out publicly against each other without a modicum of truth to what they say and in as harmful a manner as possible. I at least give honest examples of what I believe. Their sole purpose is to publically malign and destroy their political rival for personal and political gain. As I have previously stated, I only want people to think. But privately, I would bet they [these political rivals] are friendly sipping Dom Perignon, eating fillet mignon and lobster while washing it down with a bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild together, and on our dime. I simply can’t imagine the founding fathers of this nation carrying on in such a dishonorable manner. What we witness is nothing more than a public dog and pony show which is meant to appease us, as well as divide us in a partisan manner, while they privately scratch each other’s backs and reap the abundant rewards of the dishonest lawmaker. Besides, if you look at the bigger picture, such as the way our infant-like politicians constantly bicker with each other and the odious nature of their discourse (especially during an election year), I would have to say that I’m really being quite generous.

Think about John Hancock for a minute. This man didn’t just sign the declaration of Independence, his signature was so large compared to the rest of the signers, he may as well have had a neon-sign with arrows pointing directly at him. John Hancock had his wealth, property, position, family and his life to lose. Of course, in no way am I or would I compare myself with John Hancock who I consider to be a great man and leader. So that comparison just isn’t possible. I am only trying to point out a man, a leader, who really had something to lose, but did the honorable thing despite the overwhelming risk. The vast majority of us today are a mere fraction of what any of our founding fathers were, and we should all be extremely grateful for their sacrifice, intelligence, courage, selflessness, honor, integrity and public service. We should also remember to view them as true role models.

Stop and think about what it is to really put yourself in jeopardy. Look to our troops throughout the history of this great nation who courageously put themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis, that’s public service. Or look at the fire departments throughout the nation, while people are running out of burning buildings, who risks their lives by running inside to save people and property? The firemen do and that’s public service. When there is an armed robbery or a kidnapping or any number of other violent crimes being committed, who wades in while putting themselves in danger? Someone in law enforcement does. These people have families and they have something to lose, yet they still come to the aid of others, that’s public service. And there is a seemingly endless list of other professions which also provide a public service to our nation. Are any of these people our servants? No, of course they are not. However, they are all public servants and they all do their duty which serves the public interest. How can it be that the leaders of a nation are not held in such high esteem? Personally, if I was a politician, I believe I would be offended. Yet the ordinary people of America who are in these various professions, don’t stand there telling you how great they are, they stand there and tell you how great America is. Yet our politician can’t wait to have a press conference and tell you about their exploits and accomplishments, which are nothing more than mere fantasies! So I would have to ask you, who really are our leaders?

So, after all of this has been said.  Who are our leaders and public servants? Is it our forefathers, our elected and appointed politicians, or those Americans who daily risk their lives for us? The easy answer is our forefathers, there can be no doubt they knew what public service was all about; George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Hancock as well as every other founder who was an honest and honorable upstanding man. Then there are the regular Americans who work within the vast variety of professions who daily risk their lives or who work under conditions so deplorable that most of us would not wish it on an enemy, these people are certainly our leaders. Perhaps they aren’t elected, but they are leaders nonetheless and they certainly know what public service is. And lastly, we come to our elected and appointed politicians. What can I say? If these people had the wisdom, honor, integrity, honesty or sense of duty the size of a mustard seed I would undoubtedly fall over dead. But it would appear as though all they desire from public office is to find the lamp which holds their Djinn, so they may rub it and be granted whatever they wish. Sadly, what they wish for is the public to be their servants.

An avaricious man, who might happen to fill the office, looking forward to a time when he must at all events yield up the emoluments he enjoyed, would feel a propensity…to make the best use of the opportunity he enjoyed while it lasted, and might not scruple to have recourse to the most corrupt expedients to make the harvest as abundant as it was transitory.

Since the birth of the Tea Party, we have had great success if replacing liberal, establishment Republicans with Tea Party conservatives.  When Mike Lee defeated "Bailout Bob" Bennett, we sent a shot across the bow of the RINO Republicans.  

This year Richard Mourdock defeated 36 year incumbent Dick Lugar and soon, in Texas, Ted Cruz can send more shockwaves through the establishment by beating insider David Dewhurst in the Republican primary.  But those aren't the only battles.

In Florida, redistricting placed two incumbents John Mica and Tea Party freshman Sandy Adams in the same district.  Mica is a career politician who has now been caught with his hands in cookie jar.

Since his election to Congress 20 years ago, Mica has become a world traveler -- on the taxpayer dime.  

Adams estimates that Mica's trips to countries like Malaysia, Italy and France have cost taxpayers in excess of $4 million.  Adams spokesman Lisa Boothe said, "John Mica’s decision to put his international travel bucket list ahead of Central Florida taxpayers is appalling.  While Mica has been attempting to pull the wool over voters’ eyes by denying his long history of runaway spending and record-setting earmarks, his 20 years in Congress tell a different story.  On top of adding $10 trillion to our nation’s debt and requesting $4 billion in earmarks, Mica has been earning frequent flyer miles on the backs of hard-working Americans.  At a time when Central Florida families and small businesses are struggling to pay their bills, how can Mica justify jet setting on their dime to some of the world's most popular international travel destinations?”

Conservatives and Tea Party activists in Florida's 7th district have an easy choice to make this August 14th in the GOP primary.  They can continue the Tea Party revolution by going with Sandy Adams or they can reward a RINO for his earmarks, K-Street connections and extensive taxpayer travel.  The choice is ours.  

Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and George Washington, do these names make you proud to be an American?

What makes them a Renaissance Patriot? If we look at what these founding Fathers had in common could we stack up?

All these Heroes had different back grounds before and during the American Revolution, some had a formal education while others were self educated.

Of them I think Mr. Benjamin Franklin was the most rounded of them all in the terms of a ‘Renaissance Man’.

Mr. Franklin was a self educated person, having started working at a young age as an apprentice for his Uncle at a print shop.

Although very few historians actually touch on the work experience young Mr. Franklin did, you would have to imagine that the work was physically demanding even at that time period in American history.

Mr. Franklin was famous for different things, discovering electricity, inventing the ‘pot belly stove’ are among his accomplishments, he was also instrumental in the writing of the US Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

These are a few of Mr. Franklin’s varied accomplishments; our historians will embellish or reduce his work towards making this the Greatest Nation in the history of the world.

My question still stands: “Are you a Renaissance patriot?’

Most people today have at least two years of college (I do) and have a few talents.

Unlike Mr. Franklin’s time we do very little hunting and gathering for our survival (unless you call shopping at the local super stores hunting and gathering) because our society has innovated to a point where all our needs are produced and brought to us by others in the Free Market system we have created over the centuries.

“I have little doubt that if a disaster hit this Great Country that a lot of people would not survive past two weeks.”

My reasoning for this statement?

Because on a whole our society has moved from the ‘hunter/gather’ society to a higher plain of existence, where food and shelter is provided for monetary gain by other individuals.

I am not saying that this is wrong what I am saying is that we as a society have lost some of the things that makes our Fore Fathers and Founding Fathers the Renaissance Men of their time.

I doubt seriously more than 0.01% of the US population could hunt for food or more than 0.1% could actually till the soil, plant the seeds, and harvest the crop that they grow.

Of course the cautious person will have stockpiled (do not confuse this with hoarding) enough food for a minimum of two months along with the necessities for survival in the event of a disaster.

This type of planning is wise because a natural disaster can strike anywhere at any time and those that denounce “being prepared” as unpatriotic or even criminal are just stupid.

These are the people that would vote for a tax increase on you to pay for their survival or would try to take what you have when a disaster strikes. (During the flooding of New Orleans in 2005 shop owners were disarmed by the local police, then the thieves broke in to shops and stole what ever they wanted. They were not looking for food and survival goods no they were stealing TVs, stereos, and anything else that they took a fancy to.)

A modern day Renaissance person would have varied talents such as the ability to hunt or gather the food and materials to survive.

Other talents that would be handy would be the use of non powered tools; can you use an ax properly? Do you own wood working tools such as a hammer, saw, maybe a plane?

If your car broke down could you fix it? (I hate to say this but if a car made after 1991 broke down electronically you could not fix it, neither could I and I am a certified Computer Technician). Such as: could you remove a starter and repair it if failed?

If the USA was attacked by a belligerent nation could you survive with out your computer, cell phone, or other electronic devices?

This is not a scare tactic but a reality in the world of today. There are enemies of this Great Nation that have plans to take out any electronic device that is not shielded or hardened in such a way that electro magnetic impulse (EMP) will not affect it. (Are you aware that a car built prior to 1984, and not modified to have an ‘electronic’ ignition, will survive an EMP attack?)

When you bought that fancy new telephone with all those neat new features did you happen to keep that old rotary dial phone? Your fancy new phone will not survive an EMP attack but that old rotary phone will and so will 90% of the phone lines in the USA. (Garage sales anyone?)

The more people that have those ‘Renaissance’ talents we as the Greatest Nation this world has know will be able to over come natural disasters and attacks by enemies foreign and domestic.

Considering the state of affairs in the USA and the world today would you consider learning a few of these talents that would insure your families’ survival in the advent of a natural disaster or an attack from a foreign or domestic source?

A Renaissance Patriot would …

It was the 80s at WJZ-TV an ABC affiliate television station in Baltimore, MD. I was a rare black graphic designer in the art dept. Oprah Winfrey was the co-host of the station's local morning talk show, “People Are Talking”.

“People Are Talking” associate producer Debbie DiMaio sent her “reel” to Chicago in response to a job opening. The folks in Chicago, saw Oprah on Debbie's reel, liked her and the rest is television history.

Little did I know my co-worker would eventually “Oprah-rize” America; making everything about feelings and self-esteem. Please do not get me wrong. I am not saying Oprah is solely responsible for feminizing our culture and banning score keeping at school sporting events for fear of injuring the losing team's self-esteem. Unquestionably, Oprah is a superstar on the liberal Socialist/Progressive team committed to furthering their “brain dead” all-about-feelings agenda.

My brother has been coaching little league football for over 25 years. He has noticed a disturbing shift in the attitudes of more and more kids. They think they are entitled; demanding maximum rewards for minimal effort.

Contributing greatly to America's new “gimme” mindset is President Obama, preaching his gospel of “spreading the wealth around”, confirming blacks victims of racial inequality, promoting entitlements and demonizing achievers.

And when did a belief and faith in God become a bad thing in America? God is so banned from the public square, any politician boldly proclaiming their faith is branded a religious zealot nut case by the liberal media. Meanwhile, the liberal media considers anything less than a celebration of sodomy to be ignorant and worthy of attack for bigotry. I preface my comment by saying I have homosexual family and friends whom I love dearly. But, I will not be bullied into proclaiming their behavior normal.

Founding father, John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”. And yet, the left seeks to ban all references to God from government.

Surfing the channels, I stumbled across a TV program titled, “Hip Hop's Most Shocking Moments”. It was unfortunate witnessing so many youths influenced by a culture which celebrates ignorance, crudeness and guys employing a duck waddling walk to keep their pants which are already below their butts from falling all the way down. The liberal media celebrates this behavior as authentic “blackness”. Conservative educated English speaking blacks are trashed for trying-to-act-white.

The liberal media and the left also appear to hate any suggestion of standards, character and honor. In their perverted thinking, unless you can walk-the-walk of Jesus Christ, you have no right to demand a standard of behavior from anyone. Thus, any Conservative Republican misstep is heralded by the left as punishment for daring to raise a standard in the first place.

Democrat sins are celebrated as resume enhancements; portraying them as flawed and “real” like the rest of us.

Brother and sister patriots, I believe it is crucial that we make an immediate u-turn from the direction our country is going; get back to standing up for standards, character and honor.

When selecting our presidential candidate, I believe the “C” word, (character) means everything! Presidents have an abundance of advisors and fact finders to educate/brief them on any issue. Only a president of character with faith in a power greater than him/herself will make decisions based on what is best for the American people rather than what is going to win the most votes. While this is not a formal endorsement, I believe Herman Cain is a man of character worthy of occupying the Oval Office.

Bottom line, we tea party patriots MUST take our country back; back from politicians who demonize achievers; back from politicians who promote entitlement to enslave as many voters to government as possible; back from bottom feeding parasites seeking freebies from Obama's stash; back from those who hate moral standards of any kind; back from those who hate our military; back from those who seek to divide us along racial lines for political gain; back from those who celebrate and sympathize with the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.

And most of all, back from Obama who upon entering the White House toured the world apologizing for America's greatness and has vowed to “fundamentally transform” her. You sir, are unworthy of our extraordinary legacy. And with God's help, we will take our country back from YOU come November 2012.

Todd Platts lies to his constituent

The York Sunday News reported that once again Todd Platts PA-19 proposes legislation for Congressional Term Limits. However like every time before, this bill has no chance of passing. Todd Platts has again shown that he is all show. The York Sunday News quoted Mr. Platts as saying that he will probably run for a seventh term in direct reversal of his Campaign Promise that he would self induce term limits even if he doesn't get the legislation passed.

The electorate in York and Adams Counties have a long history of pitching out of office those politicians like Todd Platts that have reached the 12 year maximum.

Not long ago Mr. Platts voted for "Special Rights" for Gays, in addition to allowing Gays to serve openly in  the military. Both are an affront to the direction his constituents wished. As Joe Biden stated, This is a path to allowing Gay Marriage.

The Platts Hate Crime bill punishes your priest, rabbi, or minister for speaking the truth about homosexuality.

It's time to send Platts home!

From the office of Congressional Candidate Eric Maloney

Candidate for U.S. Congress for South Central Pennsylvania, York, Adams and Cumberland Counties.

Today January 25th 2011 we are returning to our daily activity following an event many across the country missed.

The annual march for life in Washington D.C. coincided with the horrific news of a Philadelphia Doctors practice of butchering babies at his abortionarium. The horrific accounts speak to the practice of using scissors to decapitate babies as late as the 9th month. Women who changed their minds were beaten, tied to the table, and had their babies murdered while they watched in horror. As one raised, educated and practicing Conservative Roman Catholicism, I am appalled to say the least and promise that when I am elected in November of 2012 to make it my one of my first priorities to bring an end to this ruthless industry once and for all.

As we are all aware his travesty has occurred because just as in the case of Mr. Platts, we have begged and pleaded with him to keep his promise, only to be rebuffed with the statement that nothing can be done to stop it.

Actions really do speak louder than words!

Republican (R.I.N.O.) Congressman Todd Platts Pa-19th stated that he had an epiphany and is now pro-life, however as I said, actions speak louder than words.

Before Todd Platts became pro-life (only to get conservative votes), he was an ardent pro-abortion supporter, some even say an abortion activist!

Todd Platts has the highest rating of any republican and even some Democrats from the abortion industry.

But worst of all Todd Platts enjoyed the addition to his household income, and campaign coffers derived from the slaughter of innocent children through his wife's employment with Planned Parenthood of Central Pennsylvania.

The business Mr. Platts recieved money from (Planned Parenthood) was started by Margret Sanger who was a devotee of racial/ethnic cleansing A.K.A. Eugenics.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated the position of those who support this genocide;

                "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about  population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of"

Planned Parenthood targets what insiders in the abortion industry call "The Dirty Races" (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Indians and yes even the Irish) by placing the majority of its abortionariums in the inner city. To work for Planned Parenthood one must advocate abortion at every stage of pregnancy to include a period of time after the child is born naturally.

Planned Parenthood makes most of its money through federal and state funding.

You would think that he would have done something positive! however during Mr. Platts tenure, he has done nothing to interfere with or frustrate Planned Parenthood receiving tax payer dollars even though we have told him to stop. On the contrary, Todd Platts has made even more money available to Planned Parenthood through increases in federal spending.

So Mr. Platts really hasn't turned over a new leaf, and just like during the second world war - he's looked the other way when millions children considered by some as "Dirty" have been murdered.

I contend that a person just cant go from being in favor of murdering babies, to being pro-life in the blink of an eye while still taking blood money from the industry that butchers children.

Mr. Platts the blood of those children are on your hands!

I forward the following challenge to Mr. Platts. If in fact you have turned over a new leaf then calculate how much money your family earned from the abortion industry, and out of your own pocket donate an equal sum divided equally between  "Sanctity of Life Ministries" www.sjy.org/life, and Rachel's Vineyard Ministries www.rvpamd@gmail.com. Rachel's Vineyard serves those who are suffering the emotional and spiritual effects of an abortion.

Sincerely

Eric Maloney
