Anne Graham Lotz Releases Statement in Support of the Marriage Amendment

RALEIGH, N.C. — On Thursday, Anne Graham Lotz, founder of AnGeL Ministries and daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, released a statement in support of the North Carolina Marriage Protection Amendment. Although Lotz states that she rarely offers an opinion on political matters, Lotz said, “…there are times when a political issue is also a moral and spiritual issue that I need to take a stand on.” Lotz offered biblical, spiritual, practical, and personal reasons for her support of preserving marriage as the union between one man and one woman in the North Carolina Constitution.

“Gaining the support of Anne Graham Lotz in our effort to protect marriage in North Carolina illustrates how faith leaders support preserving marriage between one man and one woman,” said Tami Fitzgerald, chairwoman of Vote FOR Marriage NC. “As a native North Carolinian, Lotz knows that the threat to marriage is real in our state. For nearly a decade, we have waited for the chance to protect marriage from the anti-family agenda of activists who want to redefine marriage for everyone. Recent polling shows that sixty-one percent of likely voters in the state support the Amendment. We are thankful that we finally have the chance to preserve marriage—an institution authored by God—with an amendment to the North Carolina Constitution.”

Vote FOR Marriage NC is the referendum committee working to pass the Marriage Protection Amendment on May 8. The campaign is comprised of a multitude of policy organizations, denominations, and civic groups. Its Executive Committee consists of the Christian Action League, NC Values Coalition, a coalition of African American pastors, NC Baptists, and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM). The referendum committee is working with several thousand churches and volunteers across the state to promote the Marriage Protection Amendment through phone banks, door-to-door activities, rallies, and events.

Update on upcoming Events!

Summer in Mitchell, Avery and Yancey Counties were alive with tourism, as folks came to enjoy the many colorful festivals, crafts shows and recreation in our mountain communities!                               

As summer was winding down in August, the ARW was winding up, as Joyce Krawiec, NCFRW Grassroots Coordinator, left members in fits of laughter at our monthly speaker’s forum with her witty advice on subjects ranging from how to hand out palm cards in Wal-Mart’s parking lot, to how to behave at Senator Hagen’s “Town Hall” meetings.  She peppered her comments with advice from our new rule book, “Rules for Radical Conservatives”, inspired by the infamous Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.  (Did you know that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton based her senior thesis on the Marxist principles proposed in this book as a blueprint for an American revolution?)                          

Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, 11th Congressional District candidate, was the first candidate to reach out to the ARW with his concerns and his desire to take back America.                                                                      

In September, Dr. Carl Mumford, psychologist and daily commentator of the “Conservative Minute”, spoke about his work in Asheville with troubled teens.  He inspired members to understand how faith, truth and clarity of our conservative message, is the only way to do combat within our conflicted culture.   

Bonnie Sagan, ARW member, made a presentation on her six months research on the UN’s Agenda for the 21st century in October.  She began this investigative journey after the announcement of Obama’s Executive Order 13575 on the White House Rural Council sparked her curiosity.   She concluded that Agenda 21, as it is commonly referred to, is the biggest threat to American sovereignty.  Literature was distributed on the dangers of the “Sustainable Development” movement, as outlined in by Agenda 21.  

World Magazine founder, Dr. Joel Belz, spoke to the group in November, as he outlined the history of how the magazine was started, and the mission this monthly Christian magazine hopes to play in American culture today.  His humor, honesty and message motivated each of us to keep informed, stay active and be clear.                                                                                                                                              

December gave members the opportunity to “stand up” in Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).  As ARW members lit candles in the chilly evening in support of the May 8 amendment, upholding traditional marriage between one man and one woman, drive-by-folks “Honked in support Traditional Marriage”.                                                                                                                                                        

To end the year, there was a celebration of our Christmas hope with members sharing food, song and gifts. 

As we began 2012, members listened to one of their own, Michele Presnell, Yancey County Commissioner and candidate for NC House of Representatives for the 118th district, as she spoke about the Scenic Byway that was approved by the Democrat members of the Yancey County Commissioner.  Michele did not vote for this legislation, as she believed it would limit property rights of residents along the route.                                                                                                                                     

Plans for February include joining the McDowell County GOP on Friday, February 10 for a Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Marion to hear Pat McCrory, gubernatorial candidate, speak about how he plans to lead in NC.                                                                                                                                                                                

On Sat., February 11, there will be a showing of the shocking documentary, “AGENDA: GRINDING AMERICA DOWN”, by Curtis Bowers a Christian Congressmen from Idaho, at the Liberty Covenant Church in Micaville at noon.  Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, US Congressional candidate for the 11th district, will give commentary, as he has met Mr. Bower, and spoken to him about the film’s research on the “enemy” within.     *** A must see for everyone!                                                                                                               

March plans include hosting a “meet and greet” for all of the 11th Congressional candidates and NC Representatives.   We hope to organize a debate for all candidates of the 11th Congressional District before the May 8 voting.                                                                                                                  

The last two Saturdays in April, we will be conducting a women’s NRA certification class to improve shooting skills, understand the new NC laws, i.e. the Castle Doctrine, and have an opportunity to apply for a concealed carry permit upon completion.                                                                                                                                         

We will hold a final vigil in support of DOMA to raise awareness and get out the vote in support of the Marriage Amendment on May 8, as well as distribute palm cards in support of traditional marriage. Along with our newly formed Faith and Family group that includes ARW members and local Pastors-

Sincerely-  Bonnie Sagan, President

  Written by: Beth Walker                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              In a recent article by Judge Andrew Napolitano, he states that 50,000,000 (yes, that is 50 MILLION!) abortions have been performed since the Roe V. Wade decision 39 years ago that made abortion legal in all 50 states.  Just let that percolate in your brain for a few moments and then really think about the magnitude of that number.   As my father, Col. Wyly Watson noted, "That's over eight times the number of Jews murdered by Hitler during the Holocaust.  Or, a bit closer to home, about two hundred -- yes, that's 200 -- times the number of Americans killed in World War II.  Or more than eighty times the number of Americans -- on both sides -- who died in the American Civil War.  

If those numbers don't impress you, consider, then, the repentant woman interviewed on Fox who worked on commission as an arranger of "legal" abortions.  She alone -- by her own admission -- sent 35,000 babies to their death at the hands of abortionists.  For which, she admitted, she was rewarded handsomely.” 

 Basically Roe V. Wade all boils down to the Supreme Court having rejected dozens of decisions in other courts in the US and the UK when they chose to declare that a baby in the womb is not a “person”.  They gave no precedent or rational basis for this decision.  As Napolitano notes “it merely said that because philosophers, physicians, and lawyers could not agree if babies in wombs are persons, it would declare them not to be persons.”  This is significant because if babies in the womb are persons, which I believe they are, then they are under the very clear protection of the US Constitution and all abortions would be unlawful!

 What does this decision and subsequent genocide say about our nation and its regard for the sanctity of life?  Who gets to be the arbiter of “personhood”?  How easy will it be to change the definition of “person” to meet the diabolical agenda of some evil dictator (think Hitler)?  How many Albert Einstein’s, Leonardo Da Vinci’s, George Washington’s, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, not to mention mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers  have been killed all in the name of a “woman’s right to choose”?  As someone who used to be “pro-choice” in my ignorant youth, I can say that 20 years ago, I believed the pro-abortion propaganda that it all boils down to a woman’s right to choices about her body.  I can proudly say that I was insightful enough to see past all of the distortion, spin and lies and to allow my opinion to evolve; to admit that I was WRONG in the past.

 I consider trying to figure out what shoes to wear, which way the toilet paper roll goes on the dispenser or what toppings to get on my pizza a “choice”, not the life or death of an unborn child.  On this somber anniversary of Roe V. Wade, I urge you take a moment to absorb the number of aborted babies whose innocent lives have been taken.  Think about this staggering loss of life in real terms.  A baby is not a “choice” it is a person.

"AGENDA"

Grinding America Down

When:            Saturday February 11,  12 pm

Where:           Liberty Covenant Church   Hwy 19E  Micaville, NC     *Next to the Silver Bullet

Dr. Dan Eichenbaum will be with us to intro the film and do Q & A after the movie- He's met and talked to Curtis Bowers the maker of this film!

When Idaho legislator Curtis Bowers wrote a "letter to the editor" about the drastic changes in America's culture, it became the feature story on the evening news, people protested at the capitol, and for weeks the local newspapers were filled with responses. He realized then... he'd hit on something. 

Ask almost anyone and you'll hear, "Communism is dead! The Berlin Wall came down." And though the word communism isn't used anymore, this film will show the ideas behind it are alive and well. 

Join Bowers for a fascinating look at the people and groups that have successfully targeted America's morality and freedom in their effort to grind America down. It's not just another conspiracy theory. It's a well documented agenda.


Curtis Bowers and  made this film because he hoped that once you saw the facts you would realize what he did after researching this topic... what has happened to America hasn't been an accident. 

Now is the time to get involved before the "Left" accomplishes their goal of destroying the greatest country in ALL world history!         Agenda Grinding America Down
