Why this site and why now?

This site is designed to help you — in order to help them live. There is a growing grassroots movement in Georgia seeking to reestablish the sanctity of each and every human life from conception to old age. Join together with men, women, and children from every walk of life and every denomination of the Christian faith in this mighty work of God's people to protect the lives of those little ones who are utterly unable to protect themselves. Help your fellow Georgia citizens end this terrible holocaust of human life.

Now is the time, as the momentum and the voices of concerned Georgians rise, for you to become part of something significant in the history of our land. As never before since the Roe v. Wade decision, we have within our grasp the instrument which will turn the tide — House Bill 1.

We believe that our voices do matter and that if enough of us speak out, the Judicial Committee members in the Georgia House will see to it that HB1 gets not only a fair hearing, but also a favorable vote that will carry it into the Rules Committee and then to the full House floor for a vote.

The crucial battle to see House Bill 1 become the law of our state is now at hand! We cannot let up in our efforts for so many lives are at stake.

We need to lobby strongly for the passage of HB1, the bill that puts Sanctity of Life principles to work on an every day basis in our state, shutting down and criminalizing the practice of abortion.

A Clarification for GeorgiaHLA Suporters from Jenny:
Friday, May 15, 2009
  

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Heretofore I've remained completely unfettered and at total liberty to blast away at will within the political spectrum of Georgia. My chief aim has been to expose legislation that erodes individual life and liberty, rebuke the legislators who sponsor and advance such legislation, and to support the few legislators who believe in a Constitutionally restrained government. I have enjoyed this liberty and made full use of it.

However, as the campaign director for Ray McBerry, I recognize that I must choose a course of action which will not detract from our broader message and aim of seeing McBerry as our Republican Governor in 2010. Though I will continue to expose legislation that undermines and erodes the Jeffersonian ideals of civil government bound by the chains of the Constitution, I will refrain from addressing particular legislators in general during this campaign process.

I have immense respect for Ray, and am proud to be able to serve the people of my state under his leadership. His unswerving devotion to God given life and liberty, his ability to articulate the importance of states' rights, his broad understanding of the mechanics of government and the private business sector, and his work ethic continues to impress upon me the privilege it is to work with such a servant of the people.

I look forward to celebrating a victorious finish in 2010, and I know that I will look back upon these months as a time of hard work, but also a rich experience in learning, understanding and serving the widely varied communities of Georgia. It is a joy to be a part of a movement that continues to unite the counties of Georgia into a single cause for freedom and prosperity in our time and our state.

For the Life and Liberty of Georgians,

Jenny Hodges

Campaign Director for Ray McBerry 2010

Life and Liberty without Compromise,

that's Ray McBerry.

(May 11, 2009) Saturday we were training over 50 campaign volunteers from across the state of Georgia. The group was comprised of an interesting strata of liberty lovers, and all were intent on taking an aggressive part in the campaign.

This well varied group aptly represents what we always say- Freedom is popular! Though the slogan of our campaign is: "Not Atlanta, Not Washington, but Georgia First," our basic premise is that life and liberty are God granted, and absolute rights. The chief end of good government is to merely protect that which God has given.

As we went through the training manual, the theme of life and liberty rang through everything that was said. For one couple, this was uncomfortable. They felt that they had moderated their position on abortion by coming to the table to campaign for Ray in spite of their firm belief in a woman's right to hold the power of life and death over her baby in the womb. In the world of politics where compromise is number one, they felt that since they had compromised, we should do likewise.

We are inflexible on the absolute fact that life and liberty are gifts from God, given at the moment of creation. Any piece of legislation, any act of civil government, any act of individual citizens which erodes or steals these unalienable rights, is an immoral act of aggression. It is a solemn and sacred duty to undertake being chartered with the responsibility to protect the life and liberty of individual Georgians.

Ray McBerry is seeking to serve an informed Georgia, where individual responsibility and Constitutionally restrained government are chief characteristics. As more political dirt is revealed in the campaigns of other candidates, the more brightly McBerry will shine as a candidate untangled by political favors and intrigue, who will best serve the interests of each Georgian.

Ray McBerry demonstrates a resolute commitment to limited taxation and restrained civil government. He is a true Republican and will be a Governor that will increase the pride of Georgians for their state and values. He continues to unite the state in the common cause of individual life and liberty, and stands resolute against the advancing socialistic agenda of the federal government.

Join us at www.georgiafirst.org and be a part of the growing movement within Georgia for life and liberty. Because it's "Not Atlanta, Not Washington, but Georgia First!"

Legislation voted on by the House:
Thursday, March 12, 2009
Crossover Day at the Capitol

This is merely a brief over-view of the legislation passed yesterday in the Georgia House. Please visit the Madison Forum website for more details. The information should be posted over the weekend. For Life and Liberty,
Jenny Hodges (jenny@prolifeunity.com):

HB 480- eliminates the Ad Valorem tax by replacing it with a much higher Title Tax.
First, I was against this bill because it merely manipulates the Georgia public out of the same or
more money, while leading them to believe they received a tax cut.
Second, it will take 5-7 years to break even on casual car sale fees.
Third, this legislation closes a loophole for casual car buyers—such as in family car sales, or
selling your used car personally. It insures casual car buyers are nailed with the tax.
All of this is accomplished through a 7% tax on the purchasing price of your car through a title fee, capped at $2,000. Failing to file for the title within 30 days of purchase slaps on a 10% fine
immediately, with additional fines the longer you wait. The only exemption on the title fee, is if your spouse dies, and you need to transfer the title into your own name, it is a mere $50 fee.But there are some other hidden details in the bill. It reorganizes how the tax money is allotted to
the county in which the purchase is made. Currently a percentage of the money goes directly to the county. As a result of this bill, the money goes to the tax commissioner who then assigns the money back to the county, allowing for more state control. Centralized tax collection was argued as a more manageable and streamlined process. The local decal fees remain at $20.
Those defending this bill bragged that it was brilliant legislation because the House can
take credit for eliminating the Ad Valorem tax by shifting it to the title tax, increase
government regulation, and increase tax revenue and control centrally over how that
revenue is spent. Passed 133-39

HB 396 Brings the state of Georgia into further compliance with the REAL ID act, raises the fee by $5 for getting drivers’ license. Passed 139-21

HB 509 is a monstrosity of a bill from the House Committee on Health and Human Services. It was presented by Representative Sharon Cooper, Cobb County. Sharon cut questions short before all questions from the floor were answered. She seemed irritated that the House didn’t accept the wisdom of the committee that sent the bill to the floor. She also brushed it through as mere house keeping. The bill does a whole lot more to inhibit alternative health care, and increase licensing requirements throughout the state. The bill is 110 pages long and increases government regulation, federal regulation, and other anti-life & liberty elements. This is a terrible piece of legislation. I was appalled reading through the 110 pages. Passed 140-24

HB 344 This bill imposes an additional charge on felony defendants sentenced to a day reporting center. Passed 102-58

HB 614 I quote: “So as to enact the “Georgia Prescription Monitoring Program Act”, to provide for the establishment of a program for the monitoring of prescribing and dispensing Schedule II,III, IV, or V controlled substances by the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency, to provide for the establishment of a Prescription Monitoring Program Advisory Committee”. Passed 169-9

HB 350 This bill requires hospitals not contracted with the prison system to accept prisoners at
capped Medicaid rates. Passed 164-1

HB 355 This is to impose greater regulation and restriction on anyone selling tobacco (after
reading through this, the sale of tobacco is more regulated than abortion clinics). “No tobacco
products shall be sold in this state unless lawfully obtained from a person licensed pursuant to this chapter.” This bill was 12 pages long. Passed but I missed the vote count.

HB 364 Provides for the sales and use tax exemption in regard to airplane flight simulation training devices. Passed 164-2

HB 367 “so as to provide for permits for the construction and maintenance of boat shelters on High Falls Lake, to provide for a fee,” etc. This raised the cap on permit fees for boat docks and boat shelters from $50 to $75. Passed 163-2

HB 385 Repeals the sunset on the Commission for Family Violence. Passed 149-6

HB 388 Option of Adoption- streamlines the process of moving cryogenically suspended humans from freezer to uterus, by updating adoption processes for frozen embryos. Unfortunately, it does not ban the continued creation and freezing of embryos. Passed 96-66

HB 473 Allows GA Environmental Facilities authority to use unconstitutionally appropriated federal funds. Passed 157-3

HB 553 I quote: “So as to provide for comprehensive regulation of local government equipment
financing; to create the Local Government Equipment Financing Authority…” This bill was 14 pgs long and passed 157-9.

Georgia's Elected Officials Doing Life and Liberty No Favors

The Republican Representatives and Senators would do less damage to our God ordained Life and Liberty if they just stayed home. The vast majority of legislation passed by the House thus far increases government control and taxation. Here's a list.

HB (meaning House Bill) 69: this legislation lowered to 1 the number of doctors required to issue a DNR order, meaning do not resuscitate. This passed the House 158-4.

HB 71: You know those novelty ID's that you can get in souvenir shops? This bill criminalizes those. Passed 161-13.

HB 116: If you are a non-Georgian, and you purchase plane parts in Georgia, you are exempt from sales tax. But Georgia citizens must pay the sales tax. Passed 134-31.

HB 141: this gives subpoena power to the Department of Banking, because it is so pesky to go through the judicial branch to get that authority. Just consider it cutting out the middle man to get to your private property. Passed 161-5.

HB 143: This one is lovely. It eliminates the Homeowner Tax Relief Grant, passed 117-55.

HB 184: This bill requires the Department of Human Resources to urge those who apply for marriage licenses to have a sickle cell test. Then it was decided to amend the bill to add that the Speaker of the House, the Speaker Pro-Tem and some other legislators now have the authority to conduct marriage ceremonies. What that has to do with sickle cells...I dunno. Passed 155-1.

HB 185: This wonderful legislation EXPANDS emergercy powers and grants the Georgia Chief Justice to indefinitely extend a state of emergency. Passed 159-5.

HB 200: This bill actually failed. It was sponsored by Wendell Willard, and stated that if a person in a car wreck was not at fault, but failed to comply with Georgia seatbelt laws, the insurance company liable for covering damages would be exempted. It failed 15-148. Probably only Republicans voted for this bill.

HB 207: Oh, this one is a doozy. This bill makes it a misdemeanor to commit the egregious "sin" of driving a recreational vehicle in a stream. Even if you own the stream. Cool huh? Thank you, Republicans, who stand for limited government. Meaning, your rights are limited to what we say they are. This passed the House, 149-14.

HB 220: Since Judges will never ever overstep their boundaries, we can remove the grounds for impeaching them with this choice legislation. Passed the House, 102-56.

HB 221: Prohibits mandamus against judges, passed 130-3

HB 227: Provides confidential voter information to other states, territories and the Fed, Passed 155-3.

HB 229: Requires an annual fitness assessment in government schools, Passed 116-42

HB 280: Unfunded mandate to pay math and science teachers more, passed 128-36.

HB 311: Federal Student Loan: Ga. Higher Ed Assistance Corp to become Lender of Last Resort, Passed 161-1

HB 325: Requires fingerprints for EMS personnel, 156-2

HB 396: This was sponsored by Tom Graves, who was kind enough to raise our Driver's License fees by $5 and bring them into compliance with the Federally mandated Real ID. Really disgusting. Passed 139-21

Then there were 5 or 6 bills raising hotel/motel taxes in different counties. There was only 1 no vote for each of those- compliments of Bobby Franklin, of course.

I'll be updating you tomorrow on what is passed the last day before crossover.

We need to wipe the slate clean of establishment Republicans, and get defenders of the Constitution into office.

HB 388, The “Option of Adoption”,
the latest abomination in misguided“prolife” attempts.
Written by Jenny Hodges, National Director for Pro-Life Unity

(March 12, 2009)
This year’s adventures in incrementalism in pursuit of civil government recognized personhood,
demonstrates an all new low in a prolife industry centered on strategy and not morality. This
supposed strategic approach actually garners a loss, much like fractional reserve lending.

HB 388, the “Option of Adoption Act”, is a legislative effort that attempts to move cryogenically
suspended humans out of storage and into uteruses with such dehumanizing terms as “legal
embryo custodian”, “relinquish rights and responsibilities to an embryo”, and “recipient intended parent.”

The messy legal jargon clearly attempting to objectify cryogenically suspended humans so as not to inadvertently apply the idea of full humanity and protection under the Constitution, first raises more questions than it answers. The embryo custodian isn’t referred to as a parent until such time as the embryo transfer may result in a live birth. This would muddy the waters for death certificates issued for post 20 week gestation prenatal babies in the state of Georgia. If you aren’t a parent, and your baby dies after 20 weeks gestation, how can a custodian be issued a death certificate for failed embryonic property?

If one has rights and responsibilities regarding these embryos, what legal responsibility does the invetro clinic have for embryos? What if some embryos are killed, aka “discarded” in the process of fertility treatments? What if cryogenically suspended humans are misplaced or thawed to their detriment? On the basis of “embryonic rights and responsibilities” in what way can parents prosecute for the improper care of their embryonic children?

Furthermore, this legislation as currently written would open the floodgates for a new industry in
pedaling human property. It would encourage fertility doctors to “create” greater quantities of
embryos since money would be made in their care and adoption process. This legislation would
give birth to a whole new world of human trafficking.

In January 2008 according to testimony by doctors engaged in human embryo production, during the HR 536 Personhood committee hearings, there were 40,000 cryogenically suspended humans in the state of Georgia. The money to be made in openly trafficking those humans to the adoption market, and increasing inventory supplies through increased embryo production outside the womb, would only add to the dehumanization of children in the modern era of “bioethics.” Market competition would encourage the streamlining of techniques for creating certain traits, sexes, eye color, hair color, and other attributes, as “in-vitro” and adoption clinics vied for business from a growing population afflicted with infertility. In our current economic crisis, college campuses would be flooded with appeals for girls to surrender to egg harvesting for payments of $5,000 or more.

Furthermore, studies are showing that cryogenically suspended humans once brought out of
animated suspension and allowed to mature have elevated health risks, and tend to contract
certain childhood diseases at a much higher rate than naturally conceived children. An increase in the production of cryogenically suspended humans for the purpose of the embryo adoption
industry, would further debilitate a health care system already gone very bad.

Unless this legislation includes an amendment banning any further production of embryos
in the state of Georgia outside the womb, it is a grossly misdirected effort, that will advance
technology in cloned and made to order babies, further erode the sanctity of human life, and further advance a profitable industry of bio-engineering on helpless human subjects.

A vote in favor of HB 388 the “Option of Adoption Act” as currently written is to vote into
existence an industry that will streamline the made to order baby, create mass quantities of
cryogenically suspended human embryos as valuable inventory, further erode the sanctity
of human life, and increase the likelihood for cloning and production of embryos for stem
cell research and other biotechnology purposes and experimentation.

The Republican Party of Georgia proves itself to be a scam in this year's legislative session.

John D. Rockefeller, Civil Rights, Black Power, and Ronald Reagan—
what do these possibly have in common?

Ronald Reagan is the Republican pride of the Christian Conservative Movement in America, however hebears the title and blame of being the first man to legalize abortion in America when he signed into law theTherapeutic Abortion Act of June 1967. Yet, in doing so, Reagan acted in accordance with the wisdom ofthe day, though he came to deeply regret the decision later in his career. In the face of growing unrest withinblack communities dotting the American landscape, and a fear of greater violence, eugenics seemed anecessary evil. But Reagan could never have reached such a conclusion without the groundbreaking work of the early eugenicists of the 1900’s and the funding of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr. who observed and grappled with the dilemma of the lower classes canappropriately be called the Father of American Eugenics. Men like Rockefeller Sr., who had built empires of commerce through the ruthless quest for profit had brought together a mass of cheap labor; miserable congregations subject to terrible working conditions, living conditions, malnutrition and ignorance. They were the unavoidable residue of big industries and big corporations all reaping the benefits of government loans, subsidies and gifts, while brutalizing the cheap labor that bore the brunt of the dirty work. These unfortunates, the objects of Rockefeller, Jr.’s attention, would never have a part in the wealth their cheap labor brought to those lucky enough and brilliant enough to be on top.

Rockefeller’s reflections didn’t translate into a need for equal economic opportunity, fair wages and education. Instead he saw a people who were polluting the classes and the social structure, and whose progeny was automatically the inheritors and perpetrators of societal degeneration.

In 1910 with Rockefeller’s money, the Eugenics Records Office was founded, with the stated aim being to forcibly sterilize 15 million Americans, namely the bottom 10% of the population. “In October 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the United States and by 1922 the Birth Control League had been incorporated (The organization was renamed the Birth Control Federation in 1939 and in 1942 was renamed the Planned Parenthood Federation of America).” Margaret Sanger made no secret about her abhorrence of black Americans
stating her aim clearly was to “exterminate the negro population.”

The 1920’s saw the continuation of the elitist movement against the black population with such books as The Passing of the Great Race and The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy. During WWI the Army carried out intelligence testing amongst ethnic groups. Their work was cited “in 1923, during a national debate on restricting immigration,” during which Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History and strong proponent of evolution stated: “I believe those tests were worth what the war cost… if they served to show clearly to our people the lack of intelligence in our country,..that the negro is not like us.”

By 1926 Rockefeller’s name had become synonymous with eugenics in the United States, and he continued to give heavily to the American Birth Control Society and the American Eugenics Society. Rockefeller was even giving $410,000 per year to the German study of eugenics.

When the labor pains of the Civil Rights movement began, exterminating the negro population was well within the scope of Planned Parenthood, but by this time, birth control was limited to chemicals, forced sterilization, and voluntary sterilization. American eugenicists weren’t certain how to successfully sell abortion to the average white American, in such a way that the political leadership would be willing to step forward and legalize it.

As peaceful demonstrations led by Martin Luther King, Jr. swept the south and were greeted with violent police recourse, the national black community filled with increasing unrest.

Finally, in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angelos, California the inevitable happened. It was August 11, 1965, a hot summer day, and the Watts neighborhood was full of poor disenfranchised blacks, tired of living in the face of white tyranny. When a white police officer stopped a 21 year old black male for suspected DUI, a crowd gathered and began to taunt the police officer, when backup was called. A second police officer joined the scene and struck out against the crowd with his baton. The fuse had ignited. After 4 days, 34 people were dead, over 1,000 had been injured, white owned stores in the area had been plundered and burned, and 16,000 National Guardsmen along with police officers had been called in to quell the storm.

Martin Luther King, Jr. called it a war on class, not a war on race. The white eugenicists across the country pointed to overpopulation as the cause of the social unrest and upheaval stirring across the nation. In California, it was pointed out that Watts was overpopulated and poverty stricken. In reality, these black Americans needed economic opportunity, but to the powers that be, they needed birth control.

“In 1965…Senator Gruening convened hearings on S.B. 1676…Witnesses who testified at the hearings connected what they believed was a dire problem with over population in the poor and black neighborhoods to the riot in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angelos” (p. 92/93).

Planned Parenthood began aggressively canvassing black areas, and clinics sprang up in poor and black urban neighborhoods. Planned Parenthood marketed their pills and the legalization of abortion as choices of empowerment and freedom. Black women, accustomed to being at the very bottom of the American social structure, were easy targets, as black leaders sought to stem the tide.

In 1966 “two black men in Pittsburgh, Dr. Charles Greenlee, a national spokesman for the genocide theory, and William "Bouie" Haden, a militant leader of the United Movement for Progress, allied with Fr. Charles Owen Rice, a white Catholic priest at Holy Rosemary parish, to lead an anti-birth control campaign between 1966 and 1969. Their combined efforts led Pittsburgh to reject federal funds for birth control clinics, making it the only major city to turn down such resources for this purpose.”

“In the 1960’s …black scholars, in particular, argued that “family planning “ institutions failed to ameliorate the causes of hunger, poverty and ill health in the black community” (p. 88 Women of Color and theReproductive Rights Movement by Jennifer Nelson).

The Black Panther decried birth control as “nothing more than part and parcel of the anti-human practices of the fascist racist and the U.S. government and their genocidal war effort” (p. 85).

“Evidence that others in the black community were suspicious of family planning programs came in 1966 when SCLC held a workshop on family planning in South Carolina. “It (birth control) is a plot rather than a solution. Instead of working for us and giving us our rights-reduce us in numbers and don’t have to give us anything” (p. 91) one attendee stated.

According to Nelson “some population controllers championed birth control as a palliative against rebellious and riots against urban blacks as the civil rights movement shifted toward Black Power in the mid-1960’s. As society appeared to be crumbling around them, and people of color threatened to overturn racial hierarchies by bringing armed revolution to the streets, some white Americans climbed onto the population control bandwagon, supporting greater government funding for birth control in communities of color” (p. 92).

In 1966 and 1967 unrest amongst the black population mounted across the nation. Martin Luther King Jr. in a press conference, April 1967 “warned that at least 10 cities could explode in racial violence this summer.”

Of course, King was not condoning the violence, but urging the nation to come into racial reconciliation and remove the barriers that stood in the way of equality, economic opportunity and education.

During these turbulent times, Ronald Reagan began campaigning for California Governor. The state was concerned about mounting racial tension and another Watt’s Riot. By pinning the blame for Watts on Governor “Pat” Brown, the state swung to Reagan and he was sworn into office in January of 1967.

Almost immediately legislation to legalize abortion was on his desk. Reagan spent many weeks, researching and consulting different friends and leaders. But finally in June that same year, he committed that which the entire nation of eugenicists and elitists had been clamoring in favor of for decades, and fatefully signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act. In that year of 1967 there were 518 recorded legal abortions. Every year thereafter of the two term Governorship of Reagan, there was an average of 100,000 legal abortions per year. Reagan was appalled at the abuse of the law, and the tide of death that was sweeping his state. But he never attempted to rescind the law.

That same year Colorado and New York followed legalizing therapeutic abortion. By 1970, Congress had established the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, which called for abortion to be used in population growth control purposes. Three years later, the Supreme Court declared that prenatal babies were non-persons and as such states were denied the right to protect any prenatal child under the Constitution (precedent for this right of federal citizenship being denied to non-persons was cited as the Dredd Scott case in the dissenting opinion of Planned Parenthood vs. Casey, 1992).

Today, a black woman is 5 times more likely to have an abortion than a white woman with 80% of Planned Parenthood clinics residing in predominantly black neighborhoods. The vacuum aspiration abortion machine, used in the majority of abortions, has never been tested on animals, and the side effects of first trimester abortion for black women include a 4.8 times increased risk for breast cancer, a 3 fold increased risk for PTB (preterm birth 32 weeks gestation) and 4 fold increased for XPB (extreme preterm birth 28 weeks gestation). Furthermore, a first trimester abortion can lead to sterility, depression, drug abuse, and
alcohol abuse.

Nationally, each day over 1400 black babies die from abortion.

In Georgia, official records for abortion show 60% are on black babies, but sidewalk counselors report that 90% of the patients going into clinics are black.

It is time to empower rather than destroy, before our entire legacy is cut off at the root, and future generations are no more.

Abortion Is Merely a Symptom of a Greater Disease. . .

Dear Readers,

To highbrow intellectuals, a discussion of abortion is frustrating and irrelevant, because it doesn't affect them, or so they believe. The clash of events that lead to the ultimate demise of burgeoning life is an emotionally fraught topic, with a handful of equally unsatisfactory solutions. It is not possible to reach a conclusion that would silence the squall, and give the peace of a pronounced justice. Thus it is swept aside by the mainstream liberty movement in favor of more pressing and clearly defined issues.

But I dare to imagine that abortion is merely a symptom of a greater disease ravaging our nation. The struggle for life and liberty emerges from the womb buried in the bosom of each man. It is not learned or taught, it is inherent. We desire to lay hold of our own autonomy, our own ability to direct the path of our lives, and achieve great things. It is a reflection of the natural order of things. The desire for life and liberty, and the gift of life and liberty are derived from our Creator, at the moment of our creation, and as the human matures, the expression of this intrinsic quality becomes increasingly pronounced.

As the struggle exists in each man for his freedom, so also does the struggle exist in each level of authority within a society for that same autonomy and command of power to rule over events and the lives of others. Within the government structure of the United States, the struggle for State rights over Federal rights has always been front center. "Federal verses State" is the marrow within the skeletal structure of the American dream, the American way, and the American life. The health of this marrow, the health of this balance, is vital to the productivity and advance of the entire system.

Unfortunately, States rights was used in the early days of our founding to defend the indefensible. Namely that human beings could be subjugated to a place of property. That not only could an ethnic group be owned and commanded, their posterity down through the generations remained in that state of servitude, and the seeds of new life planted in the womb of a slave woman was also the property of her master.

Slavery was a hotly debated issue, and a compromise was drawn, a line of demarcation granted, in order to attempt to sooth a festering boil. Under the overarching banner of States' Rights, some chose to advance the tyranny over blacks, and others chose to restrict tyranny over blacks. But then the Dredd Scott case emerged which tested the system. Dredd wished to purchase his freedom from his mistress. She denied the request. And so, he protested on the basis that he with his masters had dwelt in non-slave states. His freedom would have been automatic by entering into non-slave states. On the state Judicial level, the ruling was in Dredd's favor. But the decision was challenged and made it's way to the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Taney ruled against the right of states to espouse Life and Liberty for blacks. Black men whether slave or free were still black, and thus not recognized as full persons under the federal law, and could thus not be granted Constitutional Rights as a result of State Citizenship.

The case was never overturned. The dissenting Justices in the Roe v. Wade case referenced the Dredd Scott case in that the fetus like the black man was not recognized as having full personhood by the civil government, and thus could not be granted, by the States, protection under the Constitution. The case over ruled states' rights to grant Constitutional protection to the unborn, just as the Dredd Scott ruling denied States the right to grant Constitutional protection to blacks.

The basis of our Constitution, the founding document of our "experiment", is the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution defined the civil government structure wherein the premise of individual life and liberty could thrive. Thus, it should logically follow that to be created within the natural order of posterity to parents within These United States, is to inherit the promise of the Declaration of Independence and the protection of the Constitution.

In a post-Dredd Scott world, in a post-Roe v. Wade world, the individual has been sacrificed for the greater good as defined by the federal powers. The advance of Federal tyranny into States and into the lives of the individual is simply the logical falling out of a balance gone very wrong. As we seek to espouse our liberty from an ever advancing tyrannical government, our argument hinges on those famous words in our Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

Every bill considered by Congress, every act undertaken by the President, every opinion of the Judiciary must be able to stand against the litmus test of individual life and liberty, else those entities of civil government have usurped a power not their own, and our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution have become a mockery to our state of servitude. Power becomes arbitrary. And in the words of our dear founding father, George Washington, "Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."

In order for the people of the United States to representationally wield the power of a Federal civil government in order to advance their personal interests of life and liberty, foremost in their minds must be the premise: "government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." If we abandon a segment of our society to the dictates of a government no longer ruled by the constraints of our founding documents, every segment of society will eventually and equally be abandoned.

Partner with Us in Standing for Life, Liberty, and the Family!

As I have gone about trying to unroot and pinpoint the ultimate enemy in the cause for life and liberty, I have discovered things that have amazed and disgusted me. When we look back into the halls of history, it is very easy to criticize those times, the unrest and upheaval, the dictators who arose with warning signs in full array, misery that could have been so easily avoided, had honest and good people stood up against the tide of evil.

As current events swirl around us, our eyes are easily taken away from the entirety of the picture, and instead we each focus on a small part and thus minimize our effectiveness. Or we decide there's nothing we can do except pray and wait for Jesus to return. We look at our leadership with a certain level of trust which is assumed rather than truly earned. The warning bells ring, but we cannot ultimately believe that there is a sinister thread weaving in and out of the tapestry of our civil government and our global government. And so history marches on, repeating the misery that came before, because power corrupts, and the hearts of men are desperately wicked.

As a state, Georgia must stand against the increasing tide of federal tyranny that threatens our life and liberty. Our people are federally taxed, and then those taxes return to our state as the federal government sees fit. We must abide by certain standards and rules they set for us, in order for the wealth of our people to be returned to us. This is tyranny.

We are forced to use a currency over which we have absolutely no control. The Federal Reserve is a private institution. It makes decisions based on self-interest. It is not interested in advancing or protecting the wealth of average Americans. The Federal Reserve is interested on capitalizing on the foreign policy of the United States that chains us to poverty and debt. It is interested in capitalizing on a Congress who refuses to balance our budget. It capitalizes on Americans who have become fat off the food of entitlement, and languidly waste away having forgotten the beauty of self-sufficiency and being content with enough. The Federal Reserve dollars in our pockets and bank accounts gain or lose value as the Federal Reserve sees fit. This is hidden theft and hidden taxation. This is tyranny.

We have lost control of our food. Produce that could easily be grown locally is shipped in globally. Big agribusiness has squeezed out the small family owned farms that once dotted the landscape. Huge biotechnology organizations like Monsanto, are taking up patents on seed they genetically modify but also on indigenous seed, so that farmers are forced to purchase costly seed from Monsanto, and local communities find securing heirloom seeds, and non-genetically modified seeds difficult. Monsanto sues diary men who label their milk "no growth hormones." Monsanto sues small business who label their food products- "non-genetically modified." Of course these small food producers do not have the financial ability to stand up to Monsanto in court, so they are forced to acquiesce. Monsanto's top executives have held or currently hold top positions within the FDA, EPA and USDA. This is tyranny.

As our food is globalized, the federal government advances into our personal lives, convincing us that unless their intrusive systems are implemented, our food will be unsafe. The National Animal Identification System was never enacted by Congress. It was never approved by legislation. Yet, NAIS is marching forward under the deceitful banner of "voluntary" when by 2011 it will become backed by law enforcement as if it were the law of the land. If you own any livestock animal, you must submit blue prints of your property and buildings (including your home) to the NAIS, you must register your animal and tag it with a 9 digit number. Should the animal at any time be moved off your property, it must be ID'd with a computer chip placed under the skin. Should the animal die or be killed for any reason, it must be reported to the NAIS within 24 hours. This program was put together by Monsanto and other Agribusinesses with the full cooperation of the USDA to squeeze out small family owned agriculture businesses. It is costly and a bureaucratic nightmare. It allows the NAIS on your property, at any time for any reason. This is tyranny.

Our medical community is in chaos. The civil government has the power to grant each human being the right to life or the right to death, and they have sanctioned a practice of medicine that pits a false tension for treatment based on what is best for the family and what is best for the community against the patient. Human Life has been removed from the protections set forth in our Declaration of Independence. Medical procedures are mandated by civil government. Vaccines are mandated by civil government. DNA testing is mandated by civil government. Every newborn in the United States has a blood sample taken and DNA test results are kept in an FBI data base. Supplements, herbs and natural medicines are controlled by the federal government. By December of 2009, you will be required to get a prescription in order to get herbs, vitamins and supplements. Private citizens will not be allowed to grow herbs in bulk without the oversight of the FDA. Our medical community uses aborted babies for research, to develop vaccines, for dissection in medical schools like Emory. Medical students are often required to do abortions as part of their course work. Atlanta's own Dr. Gupta, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine, is being considered for the head of the U.S. Public Health Service. Dr. Gupta firmly believes that every doctor in the United States should be required to offer and perform abortions. This is tyranny.

Pro-Life Unity has brought you Georgia Human Life Advocacy group. The HLA team is made up of Georgia leaders from all the different political parties and organizations who are interested in advancing life, liberty and family. We are crafting legislation that will enable Georgia citizens to retain state sovereignty against the ever increasing federalism in the United States.

Please support us in our efforts to advance your life and liberty. Read the legislation that is posted. Read the articles to equip yourselves with knowledge. Inform your churches, schools and communities. And then ACT. Write letters, make phone calls, put together rallies, distribute information. We must assert ourselves or our children's life and liberty will be lost to federal and global tyranny.

In service to Georgia,

~Jenny

It ain’t Roe v. Wade, it’s the Rockefellers….

The pro-life world is designed to move in a perfect circle. A perfect inbred circle, where each member talks to members within the circle, fundraises within the circle, sells books and movies within the circle, and then all members point to the exact same epicenter: Roe v. Wade, Jan. 22, 1973.

On this important date, we all come together to mourn the continued failure of a circular movement, and ask the question, “Why aren’t we moving forward?” Well, a circle can’t move forward.

I’m not suggesting that we stop gathering in D.C. on Jan. 22nd every year. But I am suggesting that perhaps our emPHAsis is on the wrong sylLAble. I think it is time to move forward and break free from the circle. Might I offer a new target?

Namely the Rockefellers, who have been developing and funding eugenics since the early 1920’s. Yes, the Rockefeller Foundation financed Hitler and Margaret Sanger, we all know that. But has anyone been paying attention to what the Rockefellers have been doing for the last several decades? Who are they partnering with? Has their goal of extinction of the poor and undesirables changed?

You may not know that the Rockefellers have a Population Council, and they’ve just brought on board a new member: Anna Mastroiani. Allow me to quote her from a press release on their website: http://www.popcouncil.org

“The global tensions caused by increasingly limited resources along with rapid growth and development are among the most critical issues for law and bioethics in public health,” said Mastroianni. “Nowhere are those tensions being so carefully studied and applied than at the Population Council, and so it is an honor for me to join this remarkable organization as a trustee.”

First, the assumptive close, that duh, the earth is overpopulated and we just don’t have enough room for everyone: “tensions caused by limited resources and rapid growth”. Well, who exactly is growing? Europe is in trouble because their birth control measures have been a little too successful. Some Japanese companies offer thousands of dollars to women who will have more than one child. In France, if you’ll stay home and reproduce, cha-ching, there are nice financial incentives taken from the public coffers. So who is reproducing? Poor brown people, and we all know that is a problem.

No worries, because fortunately in 1972 Rockefeller’s Population Council hooked up with the World Bank and the U.S.’ National Institutes of Health “to develop the concealed abortion vaccine with a tetanus carrier for WHO. In addition, the Government of Norway donated $41 million to develop the special abortive Tetanus vaccine.” (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7529)

Perhaps you’ve already guessed--yes, the vaccine was offered to poor brown people “in the 90’s by the UN’s World Health Organization to millions of women in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines between the ages of 15 and 45....None of the vaccinated women were ever told.”

The vast majority of the pro-life world in America is made up of middle and upper class evangelical whites. So we should be able to breath a sigh of relief. Blacks in our country “abort their own kind” as I’ve been told by numerous Crisis Pregnancy Directors and prolife leaders, and yes, the elitists are aiding and abetting the killing of “their own kind” abroad, but we aren’t in an immediate emergency, so let’s continue with 20 year strategies and circular projects to end abortion here.

There are a few more links in the Rockefeller chain which should frighten everyone, white, brown, black, in utero or out, rich or poor, unless you have access to the seed vault and some organic green houses.

Monsanto and the Rockefellers have been in bed with each other for awhile, and the offspring are spreading out across the globe. These highly diseased offspring have infected the U.S. Government, the USDA, the EPA, the FDA, and on and on. Our food supply is coming into the control of these morbid lovers, and Pandora’s box has been open and wreaking havoc quite apart from Jan. 22nd, 1973.

Fortunately, F. William Engdahl has written a research paper putting the pieces of the puzzle together, and I urge you to click on the link and read the article. Then start researching the NAIS, Genetically Modified Food, and other key words, so you can come into a realization of the horror yourself. And then at the next “meeting of the prolife minds” perhaps we will all have gained a proper sense of urgency so as to depart from that beautiful circle, and find a new way.

Dear Life and Liberty Enthusiasts,

Our Georgia 2009 Legislative Session opens on Monday, Jan. 12th. HLA will be hosting a rally at the Capitol that day from 10-noon in order to bring attention to the important life and liberty legislation we are proposing. I hope that all of you will join us, and help spread the word.

The HLA team has brought together many political parties and organizations in Georgia in order to more effectively advance life and liberty. Our issues this year include prenatal murder, Constitutional currency, Genetically Modified foods, voter verification system, sustainable agriculture, and banning the NAIS from Georgia (mandatory National Animal Identification System).

You can read more on these different subjects using the HLA website. I'll be updating the website over the course of the week to better reflect the '09 legislative session, and to better equip you to be an activist in advancing our liberty.

Thanks for your help and support!

For Life and Liberty,
~Jenny

December 9, 2008

Many of you know that in addition to our work locally and throughout the state of Georgia to put an end to prenatal murder, we are also deeply involved at the national level, working through an organization known as Pro-Life Unity. Pro-Life Unity was founded by Peter Shinn, who serves as its president and guiding leader. Recently, Pro-Life Unity made an important announcement of great significance for our nationwide effort to stop the murder of children. Posted below is the announcement:

Pro-Life Unity is proud to announce their new Vice-President, Major Samuel Mosteller. Major Mosteller has proven his ongoing commitment to advancing life and liberty amongst all Americans through his tireless efforts on the state and national level. He has been involved with Pro-Life Unity as a consultant since early February 2008, and is a leader with the Defund Planned Parenthood campaign. "We have come to recognize and covet his expertise in strategy and implementation," said Jenny Hodges, National Director of Pro-Life Unity. "I'm looking forward to unveiling our 2009 initiatives, and seeing American Terrorism against women brought to an end."

Major Mosteller enthusiastically accepted this new challenge. "I am delighted to be part of a movement preserving life and liberty. I have been a Civil Rights activist for a long time and look forward to helping lead Pro-Life Unity into the 21st century. I recognize that elements of our government and private sector undermine the black community, as seen with the prevalence of black genocide imbedded in the abortion industry."

Pro-Life Unity sounded the alarm last year in Georgia regarding the flagrant black genocide in Atlanta during their work on the grassroots campaign for HB1, a bill to criminalize prenatal murder in the state and HR 536, The Personhood Amendment. Today growing awareness regarding the demise of the black population through abortion is sweeping the nation. "We are honored to be able to have on our staff a black leader who has demonstrated an ability to bring people together into cohesive action," said Martin Hawley, National Legislative Director for Pro-Life Unity.

"It's time for the pro-life community to demand that our representatives in civil government advance protection for American women and prenatal children. Conservative media must also be challenged to defend the defenseless, not just give lip service to the problem by using the abortion topic as a talking point," urged Pro-Life Unity President Peter Shinn.
