Early life

Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta,[1][10] where his parents, Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson Darragh
[11][12][10][13][14][15] and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz,[14][13] were working in the oil business.[16][17] His 
parents owned a seismic-data processing firm for oil drillers.[13][18] Cruz’s father, who was born in 1939 in 
Matanzas, Cuba,[14][13] did, as Robert T. Garrett of the Dallas Morning News has described, “suffered beatings 
and imprisonment for protesting the oppressive regime”[13][18] of dictatorFulgencio Batista. He fought for 
communist revolutionary Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution[19][20] when he was 14 years old, but “didn’t know 
Castro was a Communist.” A few years later he became a staunch critic of Castro when “the rebel leader took 
control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent.”[13][21] The elder Cruz fled Cuba in 1957 at 
the age of 18, landing in Austin[18] to study at the University of Texas, knowing no English and with only $100 
sewn into his underwear.[22][23] His younger sister fought in the counter-revolution and was tortured by the new 
regime.[20] He remained regretful for his early support of Castro, and emphatically conveyed this remorse to his 
young son over the following years.[13][20] The elder Cruz worked his way through college as a dishwasher, 
making 50 cents an hour,[12] earning a degree in mathematics.[18] Cruz’s father today is a pastor in Carrollton, 
Texas,[11] a Dallas suburb, and became a U.S. citizen in 2005.[24]
Cruz’s mother was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware,[14] in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[17][12] 
She was the first person in her family to attend college. She earned an undergraduate degree in mathematics 
from Rice University in Houston in the 1950s, working summers at Foley’s and Shell Oil.[24] She later worked in 
Houston as a computer programmer at Shell.[18] Cruz has said, “I’m Cuban, Irish, and Italian, and yet somehow 
I ended up Southern Baptist.”[25]
Cruz’s parents returned to Houston in 1974, after working in the Alberta oil fields, when a slump hit the price of 
oil and they sold their first seismic data company.[11] Cruz’s mother and father divorced after when Ted was in 
law school.[18]

Education

Cruz attended high school at Faith West Academy in Katy, Texas,[26] and later graduated from Second Baptist 
High School in Houston as valedictorian in 1988.[11] During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based 
group called the Free Market Education Foundation where Cruz learned about free-market economic philosophers 
such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.[20] The program was run by 
Rolland Storey and Cruz entered the program at the age of 13.[18]
Public and International Affairs in 1992.[1][4] While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic 
Society‘s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship 
and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[27] In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the 
Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton).[27] Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 
Cruz’s senior thesis on the separation of powers, titled “Clipping the Wings of Angels,” draws its inspiration from 
a passage attributed to President James Madison: “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal 
controls on government would be necessary.” Cruz argued that the drafters of the Constitution intended to protect 
the rights of their constituents, and the last two items in the Bill of Rights offered an explicit stop against an 
all-powerful state. Cruz wrote: “They simply do so from different directions. The Tenthstops new powers, and the 
Ninth fortifies all other rights, or non-powers.”[24][29]
After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with 
a Juris Doctor.[1][30] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive 
editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[4] 
Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts 
Cruz currently serves on the Board of Advisors of the Texas Review of Law and Politics.[36][37]

Private practice

After Cruz finished his clerkships, he took a position with Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal, which is now known as 
Cooper & Kirk, LLC, from 1997 to 1998.[39]
In 1998, Cruz served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner’s lawsuit against 
Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.[40]

Bush Administration

Cruz joined the Bush–Cheney campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then-Governor George W. 
Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, 
immigration, and government reform.[39]
Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings for filing with the Supreme 
Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential 
recounts, leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.[36][41]
After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice 
Department[1][41] and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.[1][12][41]

Texas Solicitor General

Appointed to the office of Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott,[3][42] Cruz served 
in that position from 2003 to 2008.[20][36]
Cruz has authored more than 80 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including 
nine before the United States Supreme Court.[3][22][12] Cruz’s record of having argued before the Supreme 
Court nine times is more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress.[43] Cruz has 
commented on his nine cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court: “We ended up year after year arguing some of 
the biggest cases in the country. There was a degree of serendipity in that, but there was also a concerted effort 
to seek out and lead conservative fights.”[43]
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 
31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment 
right to keep and bear arms.[22][44] Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion

Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United 
Cruz has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in 
America,[42][47] by The National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in 
America,[48][49] and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter 
Century.[50][51]

Private practice

After leaving the Solicitor General position in 2008, he worked in a private law firm in Houston, Morgan, Lewis 
& Bockius, often representing corporate clients, until he was sworn in a U.S. Senator from Texas in 2013.[24][36] 
At Morgan, Lewis, he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.[5]
In 2009, while working for Morgan, Lewis, Cruz formed and then abandoned a bid for state attorney general when 
the incumbent Attorney General Greg Abbott, who hired Cruz as Solicitor General, decided to run for re-election.[11]

U.S. Senate

2012 election

Main article: United States Senate election in Texas, 2012

Cruz’s election has been described by the Washington Post as “the biggest upset of 2012 . . . a true grassroots 
victory against very long odds.”[52] On January 19, 2011, after U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said she would 
not seek reelection, Cruz announced his candidacy via a blogger conference call.[6] In the Republican senatorial 
primary, Cruz ran against sitting Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst. Cruz was endorsed by the Club for Growth, 
a fiscally conservative political action committee;[53] Erick Erickson, editor of prominent conservative blog Red 
State;[54] the FreedomWorks for America super PAC;[55] nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin;[56] former 
Attorney General Edwin Meese;[41] Tea Party Express;[57] Young Conservatives of Texas;[58] and U.S. Senators 
Tom Coburn,[59] Jim DeMint,[60] Mike Lee,[61] Rand Paul[62] and Pat Toomey.[63] He was also endorsed by 
former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin[64] and former Texas Congressman Ron Paul,[65] George P. Bush,[41] and 
former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum.[66]
Cruz won the runoff for the Republican nomination with a 14-point margin over Dewhurst.[67] In the November 6 
general election, Cruz faced Democrat Paul Sadler, an attorney and a former state representative from Henderson, 
in east Texas. Cruz won with 4.5 million votes (56.4%) to Sadler’s 3.2 million (40.6%). Two minor candidates got 
the remaining 3% of the vote.[7] Cruz got 40% of the Hispanic vote.[68][69]

Political positions

Cruz is pro-life, with an exception only when a pregnancy endangers the mother’s life.[70][71] Cruz also supports 
a federal definition of marriage and opposes same-sex marriage.[72]
Cruz is a gun-rights supporter.[73] On March 25, 2013, an announcement was made by Cruz and U.S. Senators 
Rand Paul and Mike Lee threatening that they would filibuster any legislation that would entail gun control, such 
as the Manchin-Toomey Amendment, which would require additional background checks on sales at gun shows.[74]
On April 17, 2013, Cruz voted against the Manchin-Toomey Amendment.[75] Republicans successfully filibustered
the amendment by a vote of 54–46, as 60 votes were needed for cloture.[76]
Regarding foreign policy, in 2004, he criticized Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry for being “against 
defending American values, against standing up to our enemies, and, in effect, for appeasing totalitarian 
despots.” [77] In 2013, Cruz stated that America had no “dog in the fight” during the Syrian civil war.[78]

Affordable Care Act and U.S. government shutdown of 2013

Main article: Affordable Care Act
Main article: United States federal government shutdown of 2013
In the summer of 2013, Cruz embarked on a nationwide tour sponsored by The Heritage Foundation to promote 
a congressional effort to defund the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, arguing that a shutdown of the 
government would not be a disaster for America or the Republican Party.[79][80]
On September 24, 2013, Cruz began a speech on the floor of the Senate regarding the Affordable Care Act 
relative to a continuing resolution designed to fund the government and avert a government shutdown.[81][82] 
Cruz promised to keep speaking until he was “no longer able to stand.”[83] Cruz yielded the floor at noon the 
following day for the start of the proceeding legislative session after twenty-one hours nineteen minutes.[84] 
His speech was the fourth-longest in United States Senate history.[85] Following Cruz’s speech, the Senate voted 
100–0 regarding a “procedural hurdle toward passing a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown.”[86] 
Cruz was joined by 18 Republican senators in his effort to prevent stripping out a clause that would have defunded 
the Affordable Care by voting against the cloture motion, leaving the effort 21 votes short of the required number 
to deny cloture.[87]
Cruz is believed to a major force behind the U.S. government shutdown in 2013.[88][89] Cruz delivered a 
message on October 11, 2013 to fellow Republicans against acceptingObamacare and describing it as a “train 
wreck,” claimed the American people remain “energized” around the goal of gutting the law.[90] Cruz claimed 
Obamacare is causing “enormous harm” to the economy.[90] Republican strategist Mike Murphy stated: “Cruz 
is trying to start a wave of Salem witch trials in the G.O.P. on the shutdown and Obamacare, and that fear is 
impacting some people’s calculations on 2016.”[89]
The Houston Chronicle which had endorsed Cruz in the general election, regretted that he had not lived up to the 
standard set by the previous U.S. Senator from Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison.[91][92] After a deal was made to 
end the shutdown and to extend the debt-ceiling deadline, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called Cruz’s 
actions “not a smart play” and a “tactical error”[93] and Cruz stated: “I would do anything, and I will continue to 
do anything I can, to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare. The test that matters. . . is are we doing anything 
for all the people that are getting hurt from Obamacare?”[94]

Committee assignments

Speculation for higher office

Further information: United States presidential election, 2016
Many commentators have expressed their opinion that Cruz is running for President in 2016.[95][96][97] 
On March 14, 2013, Cruz gave the keynote speech at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference in 
Washington DC.[98] He came in tied for 7th place in the 2013 CPAC straw poll on March 16, winning 4% of the 
votes cast.[99]
Cruz planned several speaking events for the summer of 2013 across Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina 
which are early primary states, leading to speculation that he was laying the groundwork for a run for President 
in 2016.[100]
As Cruz was born in Canada, various commentators from the Austin American-Statesman[101] and the 
Los Angeles Times,[102] discussed Cruz’s legal status as a natural-born citizen. Because he was a U.S. citizen at 
birth (since his mother was a U.S. citizen who lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years as required by the 
Nationality Act of 1940), most commentators believe Cruz is eligible to serve as President of the United 
States.[10][103][10][104] After hearing that according to legal experts he is a dual citizen of Canada and the 
U.S., Cruz announced on August 19, 2013 that he would renounce his Canadian citizenship.[105]

Personal life

Cruz and his wife, Heidi Cruz (née Nelson), have two daughters. Cruz met his wife while working on the George 
W. Bush presidential campaign of 2000. Cruz’s wife is currently head of the Southwest Region in the Investment 
Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and previously worked in the White House for Condoleezza Rice 
and in New York as aninvestment banker.[106]

Fitzgerald: Attorney General Roy Cooper Has Compromised His Impartiality


Raleigh, NC – Attorney General Roy Cooper has announced his support for same-sex “marriage”, calling into question his willingness to vigorously defend the state’s Marriage Amendment.


The Attorney General is representing the State of North Carolina and several other elected public officials in a federal lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of North Carolina’s Marriage Amendment.


Tami Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the North Carolina Values Coalition, denounced Cooper’s actions:


“The Attorney General has compromised his impartiality and his ability to vigorously represent the State’s interest in defending its marriage and adoption laws. Elected public officials are not allowed to violate the will of the majority of voters in North Carolina just because they do not like the law, and our Attorney General should not be parading around the State undermining the very laws he is charged with defending.  He owes his allegiance to the people of our State who passed our marriage laws by referendum, not to his own political ambitions.”


Following the Attorney General’s announcement of his support for same-sex “marriage,” the Register of Deeds in Buncombe County announced his intention a few hours later to accept applications from same-sex couples for marriage licenses.


Ms. Fitzgerald cautioned the Registers of Deeds that issuing a marriage license to a same-sex couple would violate the laws and Constitution of North Carolina that the Buncombe County Register of Deeds is sworn to support, maintain, and defend. “It is very clear that Registers of Deeds in North Carolina have no legal authority to either accept applications for nor issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” said Ms. Fitzgerald.


Fitzgerald contacted the Buncombe County Register of Deeds by email to warn him that he could be prosecuted under NC Gen. Stat. § 161-27 with a Class 1 misdemeanor and removed from office if he accepted the applications for marriage licenses from same-sex couples.

HOUSE STENOGRAPHER DRAGGED OFF FOR CONFESSING JESUS; SENT FOR MENTAL EVALUATION

REIDY FAMILY
Published on Oct 18, 2013 on YouTube:
Just as an 11th hour deal had been made in the US House of Representatives to end the standoff to avoid a government shutdown. House stenographer Diane Reidy took the podium and began talking about God and the Freemasons.

In her own words, “He will not be mocked; He will not be mocked… don’t touch me… He will not be mocked. The greatest deception here is that this is not one nation under God,” Reidy continued. It never was. Had it been… it would not have been… No. It would not have been… the Constitution would not have been written by Free Masons… and go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus.”

Reidy was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, given her unusual behavior, which many noted was completely out of character for the stenographer. She was also interviewed by police, but no charges are expected to be filed.
The mainstream media has reported that Reidy was taken to a hospital for evaluation. What we will not hear much about is that she was taken to a mental facility for evaluation.

Reidy has been working in her current position for several years and is well known in government circles.

Since a deal was made to keep the US government going by raising the debt ceiling which essentially means all the bickering over the last two weeks was just theatrics, since supposedly that was what kept them from making a deal in the first place. One wonders what prompted Reidy to speak up at the time she did. Since she is privy to much of what goes on behind the scenes in Washington we must assume that the last 2 weeks of standoff was a smokescreen covering something important that the government did not want the American public aware of.

In any case, there is more to this than just a psychotic moment experienced by someone who had no previous record of similar incidents.

FREEMASON SHRINERS~GLOBAL WARMING~TRILATERAL COMMISSION

From the Communitarian Trap Blog:

Shriners, Global Warming, and the Trilateral Commission


A symbol representing the origin of their ancient pagan roots. Note the crescent moon 
and star borrowed from Islam. 



Not much is said about the Shriners in our country, but they are a fraternity of Freemasonry.

In order to become a Shriner, the member must have completed 33 degrees of Masonry. 
By the time they work their way up to the highest levels of Masonry, they are fully 
indoctrinated Luciferians. 

Barry Goldwater (far right)[1]

One well known political figure was a Shriner. His name was Barry Goldwater, and he was the 

the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the 1964 election. His allegiance to the 
‘god of this world‘ and the future of Third Way Communitarianism, can be seen in the way he 
fought against the increasing influence of the Christian Right on the Republican Party. He 
became a vocal opponent of the Religious Right on issues such as abortion, gay rights, and 
the role of religion in public life, although the Republican Party has been able to rally most 
Christians into their camp.

For example, Goldwater once said: “The big thing is to make this country, along with every 

other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just 
because they’re gay. You don’t have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to 
be gay. And that’s what brings me into it.”  [2]

He is right about that. Our country was founded by Deists and Universalists to worship a 
supreme being, not the Lord Jesus Christ. They worship Lucifer, the Lightbearer, and they 
are part of a Masonic hellbound cult. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who 
put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Isaiah 5:20 If Christians had a reality check, 
they would see that our countries founding was based on an anti-Biblical Masonic foundation, 
and it is the prototype for the One World Religion.  (see Ephesians 5:11 blog) “Whosoever 
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in 
the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, 
and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:9-11


An Inside Job 
Barry Goldwater was privy to the true founding and direction of our country – to take a lead 

in the future world government. In this telling quote about one of the strands of Satan’s evil 
web, Goldwater said:































In so many words, Goldwater’s quote had to do with Capitalist restructuring and globalism 

for the Third Way. The symbol for the Trilateral Commission has an interesting origin, but 
perhaps the three arrows also reflect a Third Way. It’s all one in the same.

It tends to remind you of the recycling logo – another link of in the chain of our false reality. 

Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev once said: “The environmental crisis is the cornerstone 
for the New World Order.”[4][5] 





It’s just more proof that we are caught in a Luciferian web of deception. “He [Satan] was a 

murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. 
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” 
John 8:44“…until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, 
who is the blessed and only Potentate [ruler], the King of kings, and Lord of lords;” 
1 Timothy 6:14,15

COMMON CORE’S SOCIAL ENGINEERING~”OLWEUS ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM” FROM SCHOOLS TO YMCA


Published on Oct 18, 2013
Dr. Duke Pesta, academic director at Freedom Project Education, discusses the dangers of the new Common Core national education standards. He highlights the particular concerns parents should have about the upcoming health, sexuality, science, and history standards that will soon be used in our nation’s public schools.

“Olweus Anti-Bullying Program”, PART OF THE FEDERAL STANDARDS AND CURRICULUM UNDER COMMON CORE; ANOTHER “TROJAN HORSE” AS A THREAT TO FREE SPEECH:

OLWEUS AT SCHOOL AND YMCA:

    See how the federal government’s anti-bullying program is geared to really suppress truth and free speech in the following links. 
    In its perpetual drive to be “community” oriented at the expense of individual expression, the YMCA of the Brandywine Valley in Pennsylvania (having seven locations) is the first YMCA in the country to introduce the “OLWEUS” program, in conjunction with the same program in the public schools. By aligning with a federally sponsored program, the YMCA is slowly ramping up from being just “community” minded to a larger form of collectivist/communitarian focus which suppresses individual expression. Together with its yoga, tai-chi, and meditation classes, the YMCA is now very far from its original “Christian” roots, despite its claims to the contrary. That is why the YMCA does what it pleases once it has your money, disregarding the voices of members, donors, and grantors. The YMCA has lost its moorings and is willingly becoming another arm of the liberal socialist dictatorship by trying to be an extension of, or substitute for, the school and family.

According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, more than half of all children are bullied at some point during elementary and high school. At least 10% of children are bullied regularly, which means every seven minutes a child is bullied at school. Bullying is a serious problem in schools. For example, every day 160,000 children miss school because of bullying. Cyber-bullying through the internet and social media has become particularly pervasive. Children who are bullied often have a distorted view of positive relationships and suffer damage to their own self-image in ways that can affect them for life. They can see their school work suffer. In some cases, serious depression and attempted suicide can result from being bullied.” 
“Bully-Proofing Our Kids – Bullying, is largely preventable. At the Y, we want to give kids and teens the self-awareness and tools to help prevent bullying to them or among their peers. The YMCA of the Brandywine Valley plans to implement the renowned “Olweus Bullying Prevention Program” in our after-school and camp programs. This program is an evidence-based curriculum that includes classroom, community and individual components.” 
“As a brief history, Dr. Dan Olweus, a research professor of psychology from Norway, is considered the “pioneer” in bullying research. Dr. Olweus created the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program as a result of three adolescent boys in northern Norway committing suicide. The act was most likely a consequence of severe bullying by peers, prompting Norway to initiate a national campaign against bullying in schools.”

Dr. Dan Olweus and the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (Norwegian):
EXCERPT FROM: http://www.bullyingstatistics.org/content/olweus-bullying-prevention-program.html, shows a flawed system of prevention:
“OLWEUS was developed by Dr. Dan Olweus, a psychology professor from Norway, and based on his systematic research on bullying, which he has been carrying out since the early 1970s. After three teens died by suicide in Norway in what was thought to be a response to serious peer bullying. Dr. Olweus developed the first version of his program. For more about this program, keep reading.    
Dr. Olweus’s interests were never confined to Norwegian schools. His proposals for anti-bullying legislation to protect school children were enacted in Sweden and Norway by the mid-90s. His work with American colleagues to adapt Olweus Bullying Prevention Program to the United States also began in the mid 1990’s, and he worked mainly in conjunction with Dr. Susan P. Limber of Clemson University in South Carolina. 
The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is designed for students in grades 3-10, and its adaptation to high school can be discussed. It is a program of some duration, since it says it can be effective with younger students in as little as 8 months, and with older students may require several years. It is important to note that it is not  a program aimed at the bullies in the school or even just at the bullies and victims: it is a schoolwide program, that is implemented at the school level, the classroom level, through individual students, and in the community. 
What Is Bullying? 
The definition of bullying that Dr. Olweus uses, according to the FAQs on the site is: “A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the  part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself.”  The FAQs go on to give a list of forms of bullying including physical and verbal bullying, being threatened or forced to act, being excluded or gossiped about, having property taken or damaged, and racial, sexual, and cyber bullying. 
It is important to note that the Olweus program has a circumscribed definition of bullying. First, although bullying may often occur as a pattern of behavior, being forced to do something or having one’s lunch money stolen once is still a problem. It is not clear how one-time incidents fit into Dr. Olweus’s calculus. Second, this definition either excludes, ignores, or leaves to other programs some particularly troubling cases of bullying. By explicitly stating that “Bullying is a form of peer abuse” later in the FAQs, the program rules out consideration of both the bullying of teachers and school staff by students as well as the bullying of students by teachers and school staff. Perhaps they propose that some other term be applied in this situation, but if so, it is not clear from a reading of their FAQs. Third, some very damaging, but subtler forms of bullying are not mentioned, for example, mocking someone through imitating their mannerisms or style of dress or following someone. 
The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) has a State School Healthy Policy Database, where you can find the legislation your state has enacted related to bullying, harassment, and hazing, as well as examine the situation in other states. This material is likely to provide your state’s definition of bullying. nasbe.org 
Cost of the OLWEUS Bullying Prevention Program 
The cost of the program consists of the cost of program materials and training, at minimum. 
Program materials include a survey for each student which is either $0.95/student or $34.50 for 30 students with scanning services or $28.50 without (in which case the data must be hand entered). The schoolwide guide is $89.95, a single teacher guide is $55.00, the school staff DVD training program is $175.00, and the book Bullying at School is $28.95. The curriculum for Grades 6-12 is $99.00. Resources for grades K-5 are $69.95 and for grades 6-8 are $59.95.  This is puzzling because the program runs from Grade 3-10, and while there are materials for kindergartners, there are none for students in grades 9 and 10. The program “Peaceful School Bus” is $119.00,and a “Complete No Bullying Program Curriculum” for K-8 is $799.00.
Costs of a mandatory two-day training by a certified Olweus trainer (or two) are capped at $4500. Personnel expected to attend are the principal or vice principal, a teacher from each grade level, a school counselor or psychologist, a representative of the school’s nonteaching staff, several parents who are not employed by the school district, a community representative who might have a stake in the program, and other school personnel who might have a particular contribution to make. This likely requires paying for substitutes for the school personnel. Other costs, such as a kick-off event or designating a coordinator for the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program could involve even more funds.”

IOWA GOVERNOR BRANSTAD EXECUTIVE ORDER ASSERTS STATE’S RIGHT OVER COMMON CORE

October 16, 2013
(Des Moines, IA) Iowa Governor Terry Branstad signed Executive Order 83 at 8:50a this morning in order to address growing concern among Iowan over the Common Core State Standards.  He is ordering a regular public review of the state standards, asserting Iowa’s sovereignty over standards and assessments, and ordering that only aggregate data required by federal law be disclosed.
The language of executive order 83 is below:
Executive Order Number Eighty-three
WHEREAS, the Iowa Constitution encourages a strong educational foundation by providing that, “[t]he General Assembly shall encourage, by all suitable means, the promotion of intellectual, scientific, moral, and agricultural improvement” (Iowa Const. art. IX, 2d, § 3); and
WHEREAS,rigorous state standards detailing expected academic achievement are essential to provide a high-quality education, which is key to students’ futures and the future of this state; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of state standards should be done in an open, transparent way that I ncludes opportunities for Iowans to review and offer input; and
WHEREAS,it is the responsibility of local school districts to make decisions related to curricula, instruction, and learning materials consistent with state academic standards; and
WHEREAS,it is inappropriate for the federal government to require as a condition of application of federal grants the adoption of any federally developed standards; and
WHEREAS,the protection of student and family privacy is paramount and Iowa must protect its citizens against intrusive, unnecessary data collection and tracking.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Terry E. Branstad, Governor of the State of Iowa,
declare the following:
The State of Iowa, not the federal government or any other organization, shall determine the content of Iowa’s state academic standards, which are known as the Iowa Core. The Iowa Department of Education shall develop a regular review cycle for the Iowa Core, including public comment, to determine the contents of and to continually improve state academic standards.
The State of Iowa, not the federal government or any other organization, shall choose the statewide assessments that will measure how well students have mastered the Iowa Core. School districts may also choose to use additional assessments to measure student academic progress.
The collection of student data by school districts and the Iowa Department of Education shall be done in a manner consistent with state and federal laws intended to protect student and family privacy. Only aggregate student data shall be provided to the federal government to comply with federal laws.
No Constitutional right of Iowa children and their families shall be violated through an overreach by the federal government into Iowa’s educational system.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I HAVE HEREUNTO SUBSCRIBED MY NAME AND CAUSED THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF IOWA TO BE AFFIXED.  DONE AT DES MOINES THIS 16TH DAY OF  OCTOBER IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO THOUSAND  THIRTEEN

LIBERAL LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR SUPPORTS COMMON CORE

SUCCUMBS TO DAVID COLEMAN;

SWALLOWS HIS “CHARM OFFENSIVE” 

WITH CHRISTIANS

Karen Swallow Prior

Karen Swallow Prior, Ph.D., is a professor of English at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. She is the author of Booked: Literature in the Soul of Me (T.S. Poetry Press) and serves on the faith advisory council of the Humane Society of the United States. She and her husband, Roy, serve as deacons in their church and keepers of their 100-year-old homestead, where they live with their horses and dogs—and, more recently, Karen’s mom and dad.
See: http://www.christianitytoday.com/women/writers/karen-swallow-prior.html.
Prior’s article: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2013/june-web-only/good-news-of-common-core.html?paging=off, reprinted in full, unedited here below:

The man behind the Common Core State Standards, a set of robust learning measurements that have the potential to change the state of American education, recently reached out to Christians to discuss the role of literacy in our society.
David Coleman, also the president of the testing organization the College Board, recognized that Christians, as a “people of the book,” would take a particular interest in the next generation’s ability to read, think, and understand texts. Coleman invited about a dozen Christian thinkers and scholars to join him for a two-day conference held this spring to discuss the challenges and implications of the new literacy standards for people of faith.
For while the development of reading skills is essential to college and career readiness (the mission of the College Board and the goal of Common Core), no one more than evangelicals can appreciate the importance to a people and a culture of the ability to read, and read well—or the devastating effects of being unable to do so.
From the carving of God’s commandments on stone tablets to the narratives and letters circulated within the early church, from the painstaking preservation of the scriptures at the hands of medieval scribes to the Protestant Reformation’s birthing of the printing press and the invention of the modern university, ours has been a faith centered on the Word—and words.
The Christian obsession with text is not only a part of our history—but something that continues to shape contemporary Christianity. We readily engage questions around biblical interpretation in deep ways, as we consider infallibility, inerrancy, context, hermeneutics, canonicity, and scriptural authority. Even in the 21st century, entire spectrums of denominations, doctrines, and practices center around our reading, studying, and understanding of Scripture.
Thus, despite my own skepticism toward the countless education reforms I’ve seen in almost 25 years of teaching, the Common Core reading standards hearten me not only as an educator, but more so as a Christian who recognizes the centrality of words to our faith.
The deep, reverent reading that we find so essential to the Judeo-Christian tradition is one of Coleman’s driving passions. And it is this passion that informs the reading standards of Common Core. So far, 45 states have adopted these new standards, which push for deeper, more applicable, concept-based understanding in reading and math.
At this point, if you’ve heard of Common Core, you’ve probably heard from the opposition. Critics complain that it’s a federal program (it’s not) or that it’s too dramatic and difficult a shift for our public education system. As a college professor, I can tell you such a rigorous approach is needed, even if it’s a struggle for teachers and students to adopt. My colleagues and I in higher education see the deficits in reading comprehension far too often in the college classroom. The kind of sustained, deep reading taught through Common Core will require more discipline—on everyone’s part—but the rewards will have exponential results.
The vision behind the literacy standards boasts that the skills taught through Common Core—engagement with literary and informational texts, critical reading, cogent reasoning—will apply beyond the classroom and workplace. It’s easy to see the parallels between these skills and the close reading and study of Scripture upheld by today’s evangelicals. The Common Core Reading standards require students to understand a text in deep and meaningful ways, prompting them to:
  • cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly
  • determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings
  • analyze how the parts of a text contribute to its overall structure and meaning as well as its aesthetic impact.
Such an approach represents a sharp turn from the subjective reader-response methods of teaching reading that have trickled down over the past several decades. No longer will there be an emphasis on politicized readings over what texts actually say.
This kind of deep reading has been shown in recent research in the cognitive sciences to be an experience distinct from the more superficial decoding of words that comprises much of our daily reading. In fact, these studies demonstrate that deep reading cultivates the brain’s ability to feel empathy and makes readers “morally or socially better”—but only through the kind of slow, reflective reading the Common Core standards encourage.
Despite whatever bureaucratic or pragmatic difficulties the Common Core State Standards pose (and surely, there are some), evangelicals can take heart that others share our understanding of the significance of reading. “Reading is resonant,” Coleman explained during the meeting. “It’s not important just for academic life, but for work life and spiritual life, too.”
Indeed, the kind of careful readers the Common Core literacy standards seek to develop are exactly the kind of readers that people of a Word-based faith seek to cultivate, too: readers encouraged to develop command of textual knowledge, to ask reverent questions of the text, to rely on textual evidence making judgments and drawing conclusions, and to demonstrate these skills by producing their own skillful texts.
In short, the Common Core standards of reading promise to revitalize the fading art of reading well. For Christians, this is indeed good news.

Common Core Hurts Education, Biblical Knowledge

Jane Robbins answer to the Prior article above:
“David Coleman, the non-English teacher who wrote the Common Core national English language arts (ELA) standards, is conducting a charm offensive to persuade Christians to embrace the new national standards. According to Mr. Coleman, students “educated” under Common Core will be better readers and better able to understand Scripture, and thus will enjoy deeper and more satisfying spiritual lives. Quite a claim for any set of school standards – much less standards based on an arid view of workforce-training rather than true education.
The central organizing theme of the Common Core ELA standards is that study of creative literature must be diminished in favor of nonfiction “informational texts.” The idea is that students should be drilled in the types of documents they are more likely to encounter in their entry-level jobs (and make no mistake, Common Core is a workforce-development model, not an education model).
What is Coleman’s evidence that switching focus from classic literature to nonfiction (including Federal Reserve documents and the EPA’s “Recommended Levels of Insulation”) will create better readers? There is none. To the contrary, all the historical and empirical evidence confirms the opposite. As Dr. Sandra Stotsky and Dr. Mark Bauerlein have shown, “classic literary texts pose strong challenges in vocabulary, structure, style, ambiguity, point of view, figurative language, and irony.” Isn’t this the kind of education students need to be able to understand Scripture – much of which, obviously, is constructed as stories, parables, and creative literature?
The premise that great literature creates great readers is validated by the Massachusetts experience. Massachusetts rejected the workforce-training model in 1993, embracing instead a reading curriculum rich in high-quality literature. This curriculum was incorporated even into the vocational high schools, so that students who chose that path would still be expected – allowed – to explore the classics. The result? Massachusetts SAT scores rose for 13 consecutive years beginning in 1993, and Massachusetts students routinely scored highest in the nation on national reading tests. Sadly, this was before Massachusetts jettisoned its high standards for Common Core.
When not trying to win over Christians, Coleman himself promotes a method of teaching that is greatly at odds with true Bible study. Coleman advocates “close reading” of a text, unencumbered by anything that might help the reader actually understand the text. For example, he has trained English teachers to present the Gettysburg Address “cold,” with no instruction about the historical situation, the purpose of the address, or the scriptural allusions, and no dramatic reading of the speech. Students are to consider it as merely a collection of sentences that fell from the sky and arranged themselves on a page.
Apply that technique to Bible study. Christians should read the Scripture closely, of course, but in isolation from the breadth of Biblical truth? How are we to truly understand Jesus’ teachings without reference to the Mosaic Law that came before? How is it possible to fully appreciate the instruction concerning, for example, marriage and family without locating it in the center of God’s covenantal love throughout Scripture? How can the poetry of the Psalms touch our hearts if it is severed from the deep faith – the souls — of the people who composed it? Or are the Psalms even worth our time? When has a supervisor asked any one of us to explain Psalm 37?
The fundamental problem with the Common Core approach is that, to achieve its job-training goals, it recognizes no difference between one “complex” text and another “complex” text. A great work of literature has value far beyond the complexity of the words used – it allows students to understand the eternal human condition; it allows them to confront human challenges that recur throughout the ages; it teaches empathy, prudence, forgiveness; it transports the readers to places and times not their own. The Common Core ELA standards are, quite simply, indifferent to this type of education. Training, not educating, is their goal. They are not interested in helping students become the people God created them to be; they are interested in creating workers.
So although Coleman argues that the ELA standards promote “slow, deep, reflective” reading, Christians should ask exactly what types of texts are being offered. Why does Common Core reduce the type of texts that can actually help develop good Christian men and women – and that comprise most of the Scriptures? “Recommended Levels of Insulation,” read slowly, deeply, and reflectively, is still “Recommended Levels of Insulation.” Students deprived of the great stories are less likely to embrace, fully, the greatest Story.”

TEEN TRANSGENDER BOY HARASSES GIRLS IN THEIR BATHROOM AT SCHOOL

Press Release from the Pacific Justice Institute at:
http://www.pacificjustice.org/1/post/2013/10/nightmare-teen-boy-harasses-girls-in-their-bathroom-colo-school-tells-girls-they-have-no-rights.html, reprinted in full, unedited here:

Nightmare: 

Teen Boy Harasses Girls in Their Bathroom;

Colo. School Tells Girls They Have No Rights

10/10/2013
Florence, Colo.—Attorneys with Pacific Justice Institute sent a strongly-worded letter this afternoon to school officials at Florence High School, warning them against squelching student privacy and speech rights in order to cater to the wishes of a teenage boy who has been entering girls’ bathrooms on campus.
“This is a nightmare scenario for the teenage girls—some of them freshmen—and their parents at this school,” noted PJI staff attorney Matthew McReynolds, who sent the letter to Principal Brian Schipper and Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti. “This is exactly the kind of horror story we have been warning would accompany the push for radical transgender rights in schools, and it is the type of situation that LGBT activits have been insisting would not happen.”
Parents at the school, located near Colorado Springs, became irate when they learned that a teenage boy was entering girls’ bathrooms and, according to some students, even making sexually harassing comments toward girls he was encountering.  When the parents confronted school officials, they were stunned to be told the boy’s rights as a self-proclaimed transgender trumped their daughters’ privacy rights.  As the controversy grew, some students were threatened by school authorities with being kicked off school athletic teams or charged with hate crimes if they continued to voice concerns.  The parents became aware of PJI’s Notice of Reasonable Expectation of Privacy and contacted PJI for help.

The letter sent today by PJI explains that the non-transgender students retain significant privacy rights that are being ignored by the school.  The letter also points out that Florence High has not taken minimal precautions such as requiring the student to continuously and exclusively identify with one gender.  According to student witnesses, he sometimes uses girls’ bathrooms and other times uses boys’ facilities.

“We’re not going to stand by and let 99.7% of our students lose their privacy and free speech rights just because .3% of the population are gender-confused,” stated Brad Dacus, the president of Pacific Justice Institute.  “LGBT activists are sacrificing the safety and sanity of our schools to push an extreme political agenda.  This battle is no longer confined to California or Colorado; it is spreading to every part of the nation.  It is crucial that we act now to prevent a crippling blow to our constitutional freedoms.”

PJI is demanding assurances from the school that privacy and expressive rights will be protected and any accommodations will not involve the girls giving up access to most of their restrooms, as has previously been suggested by the school. 

Earlier this year, PJI led the opposition in California to AB 1266, the most sweeping legislation yet to assert transgender rights in schools.  That law, which is set to take effect January 1, 2014, is currently being targeted by a citizen referendum drive.  Californians who have not yet signed a petition should visit www.privacyforallstudents.com to get involved.  PJI’s Notice of Reasonable Expectation of Privacy is available in both California and nationwide versions, and can be accessed at www.pji.org. _______________________________________________________________________________________

COMMON CORE: PROFITS FOR BILL GATES

Common Core: 

What’s in It for Bill Gates?

By Carole Hornsby Haynes

Why has Bill Gates spent millions of dollars to develop, promote, and fund the establishment of Common Core standards and testing in U.S. public schools?
To set the record straight, Common Core is not about “core knowledge” but rather is the foundation for left-wing student indoctrination to create activists for the social justice agenda. Education is being nationalized, just like our healthcare, to eliminate local control over education, imposing a one-size-fits-all, top-down curriculum that will also affect private schools and homeschoolers.
Being in the business of contributing to educational technologies for decades, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has a much vested interest in education. Great concern has been expressed over the years regarding the driving force behind Gates and his organizations, which have demonstrated unflagging support of many leftist causes.
Lamenting that Obama’s powers are too limited, Gates stated at a Politico event that, “Some days, I wish we had a system like the U.K. where, you know, the party in power could do a lot and you know, you’d see how it went and then fine, you could un-elect them.”
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation cast a long shadow across America. It is dangerously influencing American education as it funnels money to a vast number of entities.
In education media, the foundation supports Editorial Projects in Education, the parent company of “Education Week” magazine. Grants have been awarded to the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, National Association of States Boards of Education, National Association of Education Publishers, and a number of similar organizations. The foundation has also funded associations of unelected high officials such as the Council of Chief State Schools Officers.
Other donations of interest include these: $498,055 to Clemson University for work with members of Measuring Effective Teachers (MET) team to determine feasibility of using Galvanic Skin Response bracelets with teachers and students, $15 million to Harvard for education policy research, and $1 million to national PTA.
The intrusion of billionaires into education is not new. In the 1920s Pierre S. du Pont gave more than $6 million to train teachers and to build 120 public schools in Delaware. The Rockefeller family funded child development research which helped to lay the foundation for the Head Start program. In 1993 publisher Walter Annenberg gave $500 million which was matched by $600 million in gifts from other sources.
The story of Bill Gates’ first foray into education has been well circulated. But for those who are unfamiliar with the outcome, let me briefly summarize it. Using limited data, Bill Gates was convinced that the way to improve education was to have smaller schools. Moving ahead like a steam locomotive, from 2000-2008 the Gates Foundation funded the breakup of large public high schools with low test scores and graduation rates into smaller units totalling nearly 2700 schools.
Bill Gates admitted publicly that the initiative results were less than stellar. However, he neglected to mention that his meddling had created much havoc including the disruption of schools, a mass exodus of teachers and students, and plummeting attendance, test scores, and graduation rates.
Not to be discouraged, Gates announced they would move on with a new plan: performance-based teacher pay, data collection, national standards and tests, and school turnaround. Indeed the Gates Foundation had already begun funding the creation of The Turnaround Challenge, touted as the authoritative guide on school turnarounds. This strategy was funded by Gates for the Chicago Renaissance 2010 with Arne Duncan as CEO of public schools. It was this program that propelled Duncan into the national limelight and the position of Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. He took with him the Gates turnaround reform strategy. By January 2010 studies began to circulate about the dismal results of the Ren10, causing a stir about the selection of Arne Duncan as USDOE chief.
For the new initiative, Gates decided that teachers should be evaluated on student test score gains. Like his philanthropist friends, Eli Broad and the Waltons, Bill Gates believes that education should be run like a business. Eli Broad explained that, “We don’t know anything about how to teach or reading curriculum or any of that. But what we do know about is management and governance.”
It seems obvious from the ongoing negative results of their “unique ideas” that they know nothing about education from any perspective, not even management or governance.
Apparently Gates had no inkling about how teachers would react to the plan to tie teacher performance to test scores. When the storm of teacher wrath erupted, Gates decided that rather than focusing solely on test scores, it might be wiser to spend $5 billion to place cameras in every classroom in America so that multiple reviewers could observe classroom activity. Student evaluation of teacher performance was to be used also. Foiled again…. seems that classroom cameras aren’t popular with teachers either.
Wait! Don’t forget about those Galvanic Skin Response bracelets to measure teacher performance. Will there be student tattoos or microchips next?
Gates and other left-wing starry eyed dreamers believe that their money and their unique ideas will solve what ails American education. However, lack of money is not the problem. Some of our worst school systems (e.g. Washington, D.C.’s) spend the most money per pupil. It’s obvious that billions of dollars have not solved the problem of social dysfunctions that are the heart of America’s education downfall. Neither will tying teacher performance to test scores nor using Galvanic Skin Response bracelets.
Perhaps these genius billionaires should analyze why American education has been so successful in the past. But then their social justice agenda would have to be dismantled — to use a favorite term of the White House gang.
With all those billions being plowed into education, we have to wonder if there is something other than left wing philanthropy that has the attention of the Gates Foundation. A bit of research reveals just how profitable Common Core will be for Bill Gates and friends.
One component of Common Core is assessments or tests. The profits here are staggering. According to surveys by the Pew Center on the States and the Brookings Institution, state spending on standardized testing rose from $552 million in 2001 to $1.7 billion in 2012.
This huge increase in testing was due to the emphasis on standardized testing by No Child Left Behind. This has been a major source of frustration and sometimes anger among parents and students. It’s going to get worse, according to Dr. Stephen Krashen, professor emeritus at the University of Southern California. He has calculated that there will be a 20-fold increase in testing for Common Core.
The Gates Foundation has partnered with Pearson, the giant textbook publisher, to create online curriculum for Common Core which will drive the volume of testing.
Pearson is the exclusive testing contractor for the State of Texas. According to Pearson’s year-end review for 2011-2012, more than 11.5 million tests were administered to Texas public education students in grades 3 through 12 for the State of Texas Academic Readiness, or STARR. The cost was more than $89 million!
By 2015 the cost for standardized testing is expected to cost Texans nearly $100 million. Based on figures provided by Texas Education Agency, Pearson’s five-year contract with Texas from 2010-2015 will total more than $468 million. Even more staggering is the grand total from 2000 -2015 that Texas taxpayers will have paid Pearson — nearly $1.2 billion for developing standardized tests and related materials.
Data mining is another component of Common Core that will reap huge profits for Gates. In a public-private collaborative, the foundation and others gave $100 million to inBloom for a public school database. The purpose is to collect and analyze data which will be shared with private companies that sell educational products and services. These lucky insiders get to mine the information and create new tailored products to sell.
Bill Gates has attempted in an unprecedented manner to set public policy, although he is accountable to no one. Few will speak the truth about his failed programs or intrusion on a global scale into the government and the lives of so many. In an imperious overreach, he has funded and marketed Common Core to Americans and circumvented voters on educational issues. The 10th Amendment leaves education to state and local control. Allowing private foundations to set our public policy and to control American education is dangerous to our Republic and our liberties and must be stopped.

“inBloom statement: . . . While in this day and age no security protections can be 100% guaranteed, inBloom has greatly improved student data protection beyond the measures currently used by most school systems. We are meeting the highest industry standards and are exceeding federal requirements. You can learn more by visiting our privacy commitment page. Districts who use inBloom in conjunction with commercial applications and services may choose to disclose certain student information to those third-party providers to power the learning applications they implement in their classrooms. Those disclosures are controlled by the school district, and third party providers are only allowed to use the selected data for the purposes for which they were contracted by the district.”

 “Recent changes in the regulation of a federal education privacy law have also helped the industry. That law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, required schools to obtain parental permission before sharing information in their children’s educational records. The updated rules permit schools to share student data, without notifying parents, with companies to which they have outsourced core functions like scheduling or data management.”

Excerpt: “The National Park Service has closed privately run marinas, restaurants and inns throughout the country and in some cases even posted guards to keep people from using them during the government shutdown, arguing that it doesn’t have the money, manpower or authority to let them operate.”

Excerpt: “It’s another thing entirely for a civil bureaucracy entrusted with the privilege of caring for our national heritage to wage war against the citizenry on behalf of a political party.”

Excerpt: “From closing down parts of the ocean around Florida to booting elderly citizens from their private homes on Lake Mead to shutting down private restaurants and farms that just happen to sit on federal land, the Democrats’ overreach has finally backfired.”

Obama to National Park Service – Make life as difficult for people as we can.

October 8, 2013

Dear John,According to one national park ranger, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.” Read the full story here.
The National Park Service, under the direction of the White House, has gone out of its way to make sure regular Americans suffer during the government shutdown.
Without rhyme or reason, the National Park Service (NPS) is closing open-air, public areas that normally do not involve the need for ranger presence.  For example, prior to the shutdown:
–  The WWII Memorial in Washington was open 24/7 to anyone at any time.  Now it has barricades and guards to prevent visitors.
–  The parking lot to Mount Vernon, privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, was closed by the NPS.
–  Roadside pull-offs to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota now have orange cones, preventing visitors from stopping to take pictures of the monument.
–  NPS rangers blocked the entrance to the privately run Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina because access to the inn leases property along the parkway.
Ironically, it’s costing taxpayers more to close these places than to simply leave them open!
But that’s not all. 
Under the shutdown, the Amber Alert website was taken down, while Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” website remained active.  Oh, and those golf courses that the president plays every weekend…they’re still open too.
Furloughed Catholic priests in the military face disciplinary action if they hold Sunday Mass on bases.  And…Harry Reid defended his rejection of a mini-spending bill that would help children with cancer, asking, “Why would we want to do that?”
Many would be surprised to learn that 83% of the Federal Government is still operating.  And it could be more if it weren’t for the Obama administration trying to inflict “pain” on the American people.
Friends, we have an Obama administration that is vindictive, petty and small-minded.  And your elected officials need to know you want them fighting for you!
TAKE ACTION
We have prepared a letter for you to send to your representative and senators, asking them to take a clear and straightforward message to the president – Stop playing games with the American people!
The letter is editable, so feel free to add your personalized message to your elected officials.

It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.
