o  Looking for opportunity to impact Maryland political landscape?  MDFVA is looking for Maryland citizens willing to volunteer 2-3 hours a week.  Contact us at MDFVA@aol.com. 
o  Life  Pamphlet [Click here]:  Download and distribute this short pamphlet...Have in your back pocket and in the back of your mind the 8 succinct arguments for why abortion is wrong and utterly unjustifiable.   Another resource you need to have in your library is Scott Klusendorf's Pro-Life 101 which can be ordered at [Click here]
o  Boycott!   [Click here] for the sponsor list for the Human Rights Campaign, the leading homosexual behavior advocate in the United States.  Not surprisingly, the National Education Assocation is among them.  When you do business with these businesses, your dollars are used to destroy your values.   When you have a choice, avoid doing business with these businesses.

                                KEY EVENTS (January and February)
o  National March for Life on Mall in Washington D.C., Monday, January 24, 2005: Rally-9 am, March-12:30 pm.  The pro-life message is winning out and, if ever there were an event responsible for it, this is it.  Please bundle warmly and be there. 
o  Maryland Pro-Marriage Rally, Thursday, January 27th, 2pm to 4pm, On The Lawyer's Mall in Annapolis, MD....if at all possible, please be there.   The communist founded ACLU filed a lawsuit that would force Dorchester, Prince George's, St. Mary's and Washington counties and the city of Baltimore to accept same-sex "marriages."   The lawsuit, under the guise that it deprives  individuals equality as guaranteed by the state constitution, seeks to nullify a 1979 state law that defines marriage as being only between a man and a woman.   Only you, as citizens of Maryland can put a stop to the spread/sanctioning of perversion.   We must show the governor, senators, and delegates that Maryland holds marriage precious and that marriage must remain exclusive to one man and one woman.  To redefine it in any way is to destroy it.  For more [click here]

o  Take immediate action against the Target Store chain for evicting the Christian based Salvation Army.    Target can make all the excuses it wants for evicting the traditional Christmas Salvation Army bell-ringers from its premises.  Don't believe a word!  Their action is just one more politically correct tactic toward eliminating traditional Christian based Christmas traditions and Christian institutions from the American landscape.   Should they fail to reverse their policy, with your help, the Target company will join the ranks of Pan Am, TWA, Bradleys, and Ames as former American enterprises.  For actions to take and sample letters [click here].           
Celebrate this most holy of birthdays, have a very Merry CHRISTmas and keep CHRISTmas in your heart all year long!

o  Weekly Washington Times Family Values News, Dec 6 - Dec 12 7415
o  Pamphlet on Homosexuality:  Know the facts and help destroy the lies about homosexual tendencies/behavior.  Homosexuality continues to be a psychological disorder regardless of how many times liberals profess it is gene based.   Regardless of how many times a lie is perpetuated, a lie remains a lie.  
Have a very Merry CHRISTmas season!

o  Upcoming Events and Action Items   [ Try back  tomorrow ]
o  Separation of Church and State Pamphlet:  Know the facts and help destroy the lie so effectively perpetuated in our courts and by our mass media.  Print this pamphlet and keep it in your back pocket.  While not a theocracy, ours is a nation based on Judeo Christian philosophy.

o  The Senate Republican Leadership decided to sit on a time bomb by supporting Arlen Specter as the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Senator Frist said he has never known so many E-mails as he received urging him to select someone other than Specter for the position.  Good Job!  We must stay vigilant.  
o  Upcoming Events and Action Items   [ Should be available tomorrow ]
o  BOYCOTT  NOTICE:  UNITED WAY - Branches of the UNITED WAY, particularly in the Northeast have been allowed to remove the Boy Scouts of America from their donation list because they adhere to a morality code that excludes homosexual behavior and will not allow homosexual predators among their leadership.    The only way to get this to change is to boycot UNITED WAY altogether......just donate directly to the BOY SCOUTs

o  Abortion supporting Senator Arlen Specter, if appointed Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, likely to neutralize all we've worked for.  MUST TAKE ACTION NOW! [ Click on Family Research Council here ]
o  Upcoming Events and Action Items   [ Click here ]
o  BOYCOTT  NOTICE:  HILTON HOTELS continues to support Planned Parenthood with generous donations.  As some percentage of every dollar spent at Hilton funds the wholesale marketing of abortion, when given a choice, sleep/vacation elsewhere.   Hilton properties include Conrad, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, 
and Homewood Suites by Hilton.

o  MDFVA is researching the Maryland election results for conclusions and patterns.     

11/03/04.....ELECTION RESULTS..... 
o  Great News - Marriage won in every state that marriage was on the ballot.  At this time, 5:25, the electoral college sits at 269 votes for George W. Bush and 242 for Kerry.  The popular vote is 51% in favor of Bush, 48% in favor of Kerry.  Per the news network, more votes were cast for Bush than any president in history.  With the electoral college vote still open, Bush's victory is not in the bag.  Keep praying for the deliverance of this nation.  

Unfortunately, nothing changed with regards to Maryland's Congressional representatives.  Maryland remains a Corinth of a state.  At least, Roscoe Bartlett remains as our shining star.  Go Roscoe!  We still have a long way to go!  We all need to do more and we only have two years before the next election.  Particular emphasis must be applied to countering the influence of  Maryland's feel good, do anything, no morality from the pulpit "churches".   With such a large percentage of  Marylanders being Catholic, Barbara Mikuski being one, the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Archdiocese of Washington remain a significant part of the problem.  To awaken Christians, we may have to stand outside every one of these churches handing out flyers asking the question....Are you Christian or are you Democrat (see the flyer)?   

Once again the networks' exit polls failed to tell the story.  People have finally broke the code and now understand that these exit polls are broadcast to influence the vote.  In case you haven't been listening to the news networks this morning, the resources/newscasters are focused on proposing and exploring ways that the Kerry team could contest Ohio's electoral votes.  What a surprise!

Hats off and condolences to the efforts of McKinnis, Brooks, and Duckworth, candidates who truly represented family values.   God bless you for your efforts.  Our hearts are with you and we share in your disappointment.

o  Pray!  This nation owes its existence, its founding, and its success as a nation to God.  The United States, above all other nations, has been especially blessed by God.  Just as it was He who has brought this nation to where it is today, it is He who will determine where it stands in the coming days and years.  Tomorrrow and the days that follow are not the time to fervently pray that our state and country will be delivered from evil, as we did in 2000.   It is today.   Now, before work, at breaks during the day, and after work is the time to be beseeching God to forgive us personally, to deliver this nation from the evil that besets us, and to set this nation on a course that will honor, respect, and abide by His Word.  Pray!  
o  For election coverage, save yourself from the grossly liberally biased commercial news networks, CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN.   If you have cable, watch the FOX network and if you don't, refer to their home page at [click here] 

10/30/04
o  TURN YOUR TELEVISIONS OFF - THE LIBERALLY BIASED INDOCTRINATION/FREE ADVERTISING FOR JOHN KERRY AND OTHER LIBERALS BY ABC, NBC, AND CBS UNDER THE BANNER OF FAIR AND BALANCED REPORTING HAS GOTTEN COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND AND VERGES ON UNLAWFUL, IF IT ISN'T ALREADY.   FAIR AND BALANCED MEANS THAT FOR EVERY MINUTE A NETWORK  SHOWS SOMETHING FAVORABLE TO A LIBERAL, IT SHOWS A MINUTE OF SOMETHING UNFAVORABLE ABOUT THEIR CONSERVATIVE OPPONENT.   Just check the media section of this weeks selection of Washington Times articles below.  As for newspaper bias see [  Click here ]
o  Weekly Washington Times Family Values News, Oct 25 - 30    

10/29/04
o  1-4 Supreme Court Judges will be appointed by our president.  The most liberal of all Senators, John Kerry must not be elected.  Mikulski, Cummings, Cardin, Wynn, Hoyer, and Van Hollen all have similarly deplorable family values voting records.   This is no time to be sitting on your hands.  Call the campaign headquarters of those MDFVA endorses and ask what you can do in these closing days of the campaign to ensure their victory.

10/28/04
o  URGENT NOTICE!  In our haste to produce a non-partisan voter guide last night, MDFVA made a horrible error transcribing the intent of a partial-birth abortion bill amendment.  It has been corrected.  The corrected version is at  [Click Here] 

10/27/04
o  In the absence of Christian Coalition voter guides for Maryland Congressional races and the fact that candidates have responded to diverse position surveys that are difficult to align, the MDFVA has prepared a vanilla, non-partisan Congressional Incumbent Voting Record suitable to be printed, copied, and distributed in churches.   [Click Here]   

10/23/04
o  2004 General Election Voter Guides, Voting Records, and Endorsements
o  Vote your Faith Flyer (front of flyer) & Congressional Voting Record (back of flyer)...distribute as many as possible 
o  URGENT!  URGENT!  URGENT!  Contact MDFVA for Vote your Faith Flyers/Voting Records and distribute them where you can.  Convince all you know that Bush, a man with conviction vs a flip-flopper witha "plan", should get their vote.   Our next President will nominate between 1-4 Supreme Court judges.   This election is CRITICAL. 
o  Weekly Washington Times Family Values News, Oct 18 - 24  
o  Within reason, boycott Target department stores!  Buy it at Walmart!  As of this last week Target evicted the Christian Salvation Army Christmas kettles from their premises! 

10/22/04
WHAT TIMING!  Last week our web server service went down.  Through no fault of their own, 1/3 of their server contents was corrupted.  The contents of the Maryland Family Values Alliance was among that third.   By the end of the weekend, we project at least having the 2004 Election section reconstructed.  

It is critical that Maryland vote out or keep out the Godless pagans!  Anyone who supports killing (via the partial-birth abortion) an infant when all but the baby's head has been delivered is unconscionable and is capable of rationalizing any atrocity put upon mankind.   MDFVA endorses the following candidates for the 2004 General Election:

o  President:  Bush
o  Senator:     Pipkin
o  Representative, District 1:  Gilchrest
o  Representative, District 2:  Brooks
o  Representative, District 3:  Duckworth 
o  Representative, District 4:  McKinnis 
o  Representative, District 5:  Jewitt 
o  Representative, District 6:  Bartlett 
o  Representative, District 7:  Salazar 
o  Representative, District 8:  Floyd

Green - Endorsed because of their openly stated pro-family values positions 
White - Endorsed because their opponent consistently votes against family values
Orange - Marginally votes in family values column

We must emphasize that MDFVA is strictly non-partisan and evaluates each candidate on their own merits.   Check out our 2004 General Election Section, posted on the left frame, to understand how we derived our endorsements.  We pray that we will be able to endorse an equal number of  Democrats as Republicans.   But the Democratic Party is not the same Democratic Party of old.  It has lost its compass and has been hijacked by such pagan factions as Planned Parenthood (wholesale abortion), the Human Rights Campaign (homosexual behavior), and Hollywood (anything goes immorality).  As the honorable Conservative Democratic Representative Zell Miller insists, " I didn't leave the party.  It left me."

The citizens of Maryland are good God fearing folks.  It is just that they are indoctrinated by the mutually supportive indoctrination of the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, and CBS.  To fan the fire, far too many of Maryland's pastors are fearful of confronting these secular values from the pulpit.  It is the responsibility of  us who know the truth about the candidates to our citizens.  

God bless you all and Take Back Maryland!
