Langston Hughes wrote a poem entitled, "I, Too" in which he dreamed of a day when African Americans would not be shunned. This simple poem speaks volumes about personhood and the struggle to attain equality.
Corrie Ten Boom wrote a book entitled, "The Hiding Place" in which she talked about her days in a concentration camp. She was not Jewish; she was imprisoned and tortured for hiding Jews in her home because she believed they were equal human persons.
Rosa Parks sat down and refused to get up from a seat she was told she had no right to sit in. She decided that she was no longer going to be told that she was less human than anyone else on that bus.
Anne Frank wrote in her diary, "I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains" – this coming from a young woman having to live in a hidden apartment for two years because she was declared a non - human person.
Martin Luther King, Jr. cried out, "I have a dream." He believed in a world where men were not looked at as black or white, but as men. He believed we could live as equal human persons and destroy the prejudices that plagued mankind.What do all these people have in common?Some may say oppression. Oppression is certainly a word that can be used to describe all of their lives.
Can you imagine yourself as young girl like Anne Frank living in a small hidden apartment for two years, never allowed to leave for fear of certain death?
Some may say determination. Langston Hughes was determined to see a day when our African American brothers would not be seen as less than any other American.
Some may say courage. I can't imagine the courage it took for Corrie Ten Boom to risk her own life and freedom for total strangers. She endured years of torture and even found a way to thank God for her bunk being infested with fleas, knowing it saved her from abuse.
Some may say resolve. Oh, to see the resolve in the face of Rosa Parks on the bus that day! To see her claim her spot as an equal human person and refuse to be dehumanized.
Some may say passion. Passion is one of the best words you can use to describe Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. When you hear his speech you can't help but be moved. While all of these words are truly things these great humans had in common, there is one other thing that makes them stand out from others who have been dehumanized: their voice. They all had a voice and were able to use that voice to cry out for their lives, their freedom and their humanity. A voice is something that thousands of innocent people every day in America will never have.
Can you imagine if a child in the womb could write a poem about how one day he too would be called an American?
Can you imagine if babies that were not going to be killed by abortion could hide others that were scheduled for death?
Can you imagine if when the abortionist tried to kill a young little girl she was able to sit down in the womb with resolve and say, “I will not be killed”?
Can you imagine the speech a young child would give proclaiming the day all innocent pre-born children are counted as human?
While we know these things are impossible for the children in the womb to accomplish, they are not impossible for us. We do have a voice; we now need to find the courage, determination, resolve and passion to fight against the oppression of innocent children.
Some may say, "How dare you compare abortion with the holocaust or oppression of African Americans!" I say how dare we not. How dare we look back at some of the most brutal, inhumane and dehumanizing acts in history and not also include the killing of innocent babies?We are ushering in a new era in America this year. With the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency, we are seeing something many people believed would not happen in their lifetime. We are witnessing something that we should all be proud of regardless of our political views. America has taken one more step towards equality and wiping out racial prejudices.
So many people do not believe they will see the killing of innocent children stop in their lifetime either. So many people have accepted the abortion holocaust as status quo. I refuse to accept or believe that we cannot defeat this evil.
It is time, my friends, to adopt the words that describe these great humans I wrote about.
It is time to believe that we will usher in an era where pre-born children are considered full human persons.
It is time to use our voices to proclaim life and freedom for the thousands of our brothers and sisters who die needlessly every day.
It is time to say: They, Too, America.

Have you seen that girl?
Innocent, Confident, with a hint of curiosity.
And an heir of what you see is what you get
Fun to be around, laugh at herself
Never worried
Life is short but what's the hurry?
Bright eyed and ready to take on the world
Have you seen that girl?
That everybody says I used to be
Have you seen that girl?
Where along the way did I lose me?
Have you seen that girl?
She was full of life
Looked on the brighter side
If it was worth a chance she'd take it
Said that life is what you make it
But a few wrong moves lead to a few wrong turns,
And once you're burned you're not the same
You tend to shy from the flame
I hate to think she's given up her dream
Have you seen that girl?
That everybody says I used to be
Have you seen that girl?
Where along the way did I lose me?
Have you seen that girl?
Have you seen that girl?
And an heir of what you see is what you get
Fun to be around, laugh at herself
Never worried
Life is short but what's the hurry?

Have you seen that girl?
That everybody says I used to be

Have you seen that girl?

Planned Parenthood and the Total Desecration of Christmas
As most of the Nation celebrates the birth of Christ this Christmas , in Indiana, Planned Parenthood offers gift certificates that can be used for killing your baby. Over the past several years Planned Parenthood has sold "Choice on Earth" Christmas cards and t-shirts each Christmas season. Not only are they raising money to kill babies, the card mocks the birth of Christ.
“Choice on Earth”, the name of the Planned Parenthood card, is a disgusting attempt to spread their message of death while exploiting the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Luke 2:11-14 - 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The phrase “peace on earth” is based on this verse from Holy Scripture. Angels were proclaiming peace on earth and I am sure there was no thought of child killing being part of that peace.
What does the word “ choice ” mean in the context of Planned Parenthood's card? It means abortion; it is the choice to kill your baby through abortion. In essence, Planned Parenthood is celebrating Christmas by saying “abortion on earth”. It is ironic that in the day Christ was born, King Herod was having young babies murdered.
King Herod had every boy two years or under killed because of greed, pride, power, and control. These are also some of the same sins Planned Parenthood will instill in a young woman to get her to believe that she should kill her baby.
Planned Parenthood has become a modern day King Herod. They are more concerned with their own greed than the life of an innocent child.
Their greed and selfishness is more important than life itself. They make women feel like there is no other choice for their lives than abortion. They instill in them lies about how bad their lives will be if they give birth. They make them fear losing money, control over their own lives, opportunities, and happiness.
Just like King Herod, Planned Parenthood is more concerned about their own wealth, power and position in life than anything else and they want to pass that way of thinking onto young women and the world.
They are so dedicated to this evil way of thought they are willing to mock the birth of Christ and try to steal the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas is a time of joy and peace as we ponder the birth of our Savior. It is a time to promote love and life not a time to promote death and hatred.
Planned Parenthood has attempted to steal the meaning of Christmas and distort it as they ignore the very reason we celebrate.

Crawl
How long will this take?
How much can I go through?
My heart, my soul aches I don't know what to do I bend,
but don't break and somehow I'll get through Cause I have You
And if I had to crawl
Well you'd crawl too
I stumble and I fall
Carry me through
The wonder of it all
Is you see me through
Oh Lord, where are you?
Do not forget me here
I cry in silence
Can you not see my tears
When all have left me
And hope has disappeared
You'll find me here
When everything I was is lost
I have forgotten
Where you have not
When I am lost
You have not lost me
Oh Lord, where are you?
Do not forget me here
I cry in silence
Can you not see my tears
When everything I was is lost
I have forgotten
Where you have not
When I am lost
You have not lost me
You have not lost me
How much can I go through?
My heart, my soul aches I don't know what to do I bend,
but don't break and somehow I'll get through Cause I have You
And if I had to crawl
Well you'd crawl too
I stumble and I fall
Carry me through
The wonder of it all
Is you see me through
Oh Lord, where are you?
Do not forget me here
I cry in silence
Can you not see my tears
When all have left me
And hope has disappeared
You'll find me here
When everything I was is lost
I have forgotten
Where you have not
When I am lost
You have not lost me
Oh Lord, where are you?
Do not forget me here
I cry in silence
Can you not see my tears
When everything I was is lost
I have forgotten
Where you have not
When I am lost
You have not lost me
You have not lost me

Really? Get rid of the damn sticker! It's not 1997!
The Clintons
Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton :
I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore."So, I sat down and reflected on that. I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:
1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones ,Monica Lewinsky , Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and JuanitaBroderick .Did I leave anyone out?
2. Thank you for teaching my younger siblings and I about oral sex.
3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place(especially the White House) and on the job is OK.And all you have to know is what the meaning of "sex" is.It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and oneperson may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex.
4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a newgeneration and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.
5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.
6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising
7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.
8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much ofour foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations"carefully disguised as necessary trips.
9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I reallydidn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting.I understand you, the family, and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.
10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardonsof convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile.We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scoresyou pardoned while Governor of Arkansas)
11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware.I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway.Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."
12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White Housefor vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out.I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China ,silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass,flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1.The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!
13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs.Who says crime doesn't pay!
14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986.The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners".However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands.The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center .This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.It was censored in the US from all later reports.Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?What a guy!!
If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on.God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.
SINCERELY,
A US Citizen
PS.Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail.
AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the"Congressional Retirement and StaffingPlan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.(Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only4 years?)If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies.He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary out lives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency,they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua , NewYork. Makes sense.They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for theuse of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton 's salary,mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salariesfor their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal!

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.
6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising
7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.
8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much ofour foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations"carefully disguised as necessary trips.
9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I reallydidn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting.I understand you, the family, and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.
10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardonsof convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile.We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scoresyou pardoned while Governor of Arkansas)
11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware.I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway.Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."
12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White Housefor vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out.I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China ,silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass,flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1.The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!
13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs.Who says crime doesn't pay!
14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986.The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners".However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands.The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center .This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.It was censored in the US from all later reports.Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?What a guy!!
If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on.God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.
SINCERELY,
A US Citizen
PS.Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail.
AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the"Congressional Retirement and StaffingPlan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.(Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only4 years?)If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies.He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary out lives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency,they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua , NewYork. Makes sense.They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for theuse of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton 's salary,mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salariesfor their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal!
