WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIAN ACTIONS OF REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS?

A moral compass and Christianity need to go hand in hand. So many politicians say that they are Christian. If they don't tell "me", I wouldn't have any idea. Actions say it all.

Top 10 Worst Things about the Republicans' Immoral Budget

The Republican budget would:

1. Destroy 700,000 jobs, according to an independent economic analysis.

2. Zero out federal funding for National Public Radio and public television.

3. Cut $1.3 billion from community health centers--which will deprive more than three million low-income people of health care over the next few months.

4. Cut nearly a billion dollars in food and health care assistance to pregnant women, new moms, and children.

5. Kick more than 200,000 children out of pre-school by cutting funds for Head Start.

6. Force states to fire 65,000 teachers and aides, dramatically increasing class sizes, thanks to education cuts.

7. Cut some or all financial aid for 9.4 million low- and middle-income college students.

8. Slash $1.6 billion from the National Institutes of Health, a cut that experts say would "send shockwaves" through cancer research, likely result in cuts to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's research, and cause job losses.

9. End the only federal family planning program, including cutting all federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood to support cancer screenings and other women's health care.

10. Send 10,000 low-income veterans into homelessness by cutting in half the number of veterans who get housing vouchers this year.

From Sound the alarm

This week, Congress could cut a deal on the budget. And if Republicans get their way, billions will be cut from vital programs that millions of Americans count on—while tax cuts for the richest are protected.

But most people don't have any idea what's at stake—and how devastating these cuts would be to their communities—even though the cuts could take effect within weeks. So we're launching an emergency campaign to spread the word. Republicans want to gut programs with enormous public support, and hope no one notices. So it's up to all of us to spark a public outcry before it's too late.

The devastating impact these cuts will have on our country—and on your community—is unprecedented. Check out the list below. If we can get it out to a million people, we can start to sound the alarm and stop the GOP. Click here to post on Facebook and Twitter, or simply forward this email.

Thanks for all you do.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS HIS NAME

I am currently reading for the first time Dreams From My Father - A Story of Race and Inheritance written by Barack Obama. Although I purchased Mr. Obama's two books months ago, I am really just getting into the first book. It is very, very interesting to read the words now since we know he will be our 44th President. Here you can read what he added in the 2004 release in its Preface. The book can be purchased at www.amazon.com for $14.27 (HC). Paperback is $8.22.

For anyone to openly let others into their thinking as Barack Obama does in this book illustrates courage and a willingness to be vulnerable.

The marketing that is burgeoning on Barack Obama's story and all that surrounds him would make him rich if he trademarked his name. Maybe the economy nationally and internationally - could be boosted by the sales around his image and what all is being written about him.

I am choosing to mostly ignore all the negative and racist undercurrent that is being written. When I see something written, I immediately do a search on the person who has written the article or accusations. Considering the source is prudent.

Plenty of unhappy and needy people writing what you might expect from someone who has garbage residing in the place of a healthy soul.

Could you be a leader on the world stage and survive all the sickness masquerading as what is right, Christian thinking or political polarization?

I can't wait for Dana Perino to go. Robert Gibbs is named as President-elect Obama's White House Press Secretary. I will have to adjust my cringe-reflex reaction.
