Pro-LIFE ALERT >>> #STAND4LIFE on Twitter

by Cathie Adams | June 30, 2013 |

Texas Eagle Forum “Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena. Not all liberals have read his book or know his name, but his tactics have become universal. Sadly for conservatives, when two evenly matched forces go head-to-head outside of a fairy tale, the side that tries to play nice usually ends up with its head in a box. So, don’t lie or become an evil person like Alinsky, but learn from what he wrote and give the Left a taste of its own medicine,” writes John Hawkins for Townhall.com. Anarchists using Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” stalled our defense of LIFE last week in Austin, but they will NOT succeed again. Texans will never, never, never, never give up, nor forsake the more than 55 million babies killed since the U.S. Supreme Court declared a “shadow” in the U.S. Constitution granting the “right” to abortion. We thank God for our courageous pro-LIFE Gov. Rick Perry who called another special session to begin on Monday, July 1. Our pro-LIFE bill, HB 2, has been pre-filed by Rep. Jodie Laubenberg. It will protect women and save LIVES of Texans. This omnibus bill will change our state laws governing abortions, abortuaries, and abortion-inducing drugs: Abortionists will be required to determine the baby’s age before performing an abortion and will be prohibited from performing abortions after 20 weeks. Abortionists will be required to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortuary that will be required to have the minimum standards equivalent to those for an ambulatory surgical center. Only a physician, not a nurse or physician assistant, will be legally allowed to give, sell, dispense, administer, or prescribe an abortion-inducing drug (RU-486) to a pregnant woman. A follow-up visit within 14 days after use of the drug will be required. A public hearing on HB 2 is expected in the House State Affairs Committee on Tuesday, July 2 at 2 p.m. Please join us in Austin on Tuesday, July 2 at the John H. Reagan Building, 105 W. 15th Street, at 10 a.m. for the public hearing scheduled for HB 2 to begin at 2 p.m. And plan to stay until at least midnight. - See more at: http://ramparts360.com/join-texas-pro-lifeers-in-austin-on-tuesday-july-2/#sthash.vMxjmVXn.dpuf

The United Nations is meeting in Qatar to negotiate a “complete transformation of the economic structure of the world,” explained Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at a Monday press conference.

“What is occurring here, not just in Doha, but in the whole climate change process is the complete transformation of the economic structure of the world. It should happen much quicker, but it cannot happen overnight,” she added.

Figueres concluded, “This Conference of the Parties will produce a second commitment period to the Kyoto Protocol, the only legally binding agreement. It will have the necessary amendments to go into a second commitment period as of January 1, 2013.... We are also moving toward a universal legally based agreement by 2015 to go into effect in 2020.”

Morton Blackwell: FAKE GOP Convention Compromise. Conservatives Must Not Back Down! Demand Roll Call Vote!

Attention Republican National Delegates: DO NOT BACK DOWN. Go forward with the Minority Report. Reject these bad rule changes. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FAKE COMPROMISE. DEMAND A ROLL CALL VOTE!

This Morning I got an urgent email from Cathie Adams of Texas Eagle Forum. Cathie got an email last night at 3am from from trusted national conservative figure Morton Blackwell. Blackwell says that the compromise we have heard about is a fake that is meant to get conservatives to back down and not submit a minority report opposing these bad rule changes. The compromise only covers ONE of the bad rule changes anyways. There are other bad rule changes that need to be defeated, such as the proposed change that would allow the RNC to change the Party rules between conventions and with no approval from the delegates.

Thank you Texas Delegates (especially Butch Davis) for leading the charge to fight these changes! DO NOT BACK DOWN though, keep fighting! Do not settle on one change but then let the other changes got forward. We cannot give the RNC ANY power to chance party rules between conventions!


Below is the Urgent Message from Morton Blackwell about the Fake Compromise:

Dear Fellow Delegate,

You have heard the growing controversy regarding a number of new power grabs in the Rules of the Republican Party as proposed for adoption in the report of the Convention Committee on Rules and Order of Business. 

That committee report will be considered by the convention at today's afternoon session.

Do not be fooled into believing that a good "compromise" has been reached which is even near acceptable.

The Minority Reports are alive and well.  Although ferocious efforts have been made to get Rules Committee members to withdraw their names from the Minority Reports, grassroots outrage actually persuaded additional Rules Committee members to sign onto the Minority Reports since the Rules Committee meeting last Friday.

The Rule 15 "compromise" affects only one of the three most damaging changes which the Minority Reports would correct.  That is the proposal that presidential candidates would be given the power to disallow and remove delegates elected under state party rules or state law.

Unchanged in the "compromise" are the gutting of the currently-in-effect reforms which succeeded this year in stopping the trend toward a national presidential primary and the very worst change proposed in the national rules, the proposed new Rule 12, permitting the Republican National Committee to regularly amend the national party rules between the national conventions.

The Minority Reports would solve both problems.

Proponents of the "compromise" ignore the enormously destructive problem of the proposed Rule 12.  Rule 12 would enable 75% of the Republican National Committee later to eliminate their "compromise" and to destroy or make drastic changes in dozens of other rules which have served our party well over the years.

In practice, Rule 12 would enable an RNC chairman to enact almost any rules change he or she desired, because an RNC chairman already has so much power and influence that he or she can almost always can get 75% or more of the RNC members to vote for or against anything.  A chairman already has the enormous "power of the purse," and should not have also the power to change party rules at will. 

There is already quite enough power flow from the top down in our party.  Instead of approving more power grabs, we should be looking for ways for more power to flow from the bottom up.  That's how to attract more participants into our party.

The media's picked up on this series of last-minute manipulations by D.C insiders and consultants, and I'm sure you've been bombarded with contacts from both sides.

The truth is, this isn’t a compromise.  It’s far from it.

This is insider establishment politics at its worst – and they’re dealing furiously against grassroots conservatives like you and me.

And no change to Rule 15 will mean anything if a party chairman decides to use the powers given under a new Rule 12 that allows the RNC to change the Rules of the Republican Party between national conventions.

So I’m asking you to support the full Minority Reports on the Rules – and to not be fooled by any so-called “compromise.”  I especially ask you to take a stand in your delegation for a roll call vote on the Minority Reports.
