ADOPTION AGENCY SITES – LIMITED CHILDREN AVAILABLE DUE TO INCREASE DEMAND BY GAY COUPLES
In a sweeping move, the congress is now considering a bill that would give 10 billion to the Federation of LGBT who will now turn their attention on promoting youth, not to abort their unborn babies but to instead consider putting them up for adoption.
“Who would have thought the LGBT community would have helped solve the anti-abortion problems in America.” The congressman went on to say: “It’s time we come together and heal as a nation and come up with real solutions. The way I see it, these Gays and Lesbians are Gods angels to the world. After all they are not the ones creating all these unwanted babies right!”
This move was brought on by the recent polling of adoption agencies across the nation, who report the wait time for a traditional marriage couple to adopt, has gone from 6 months to nearly 3 years, due to the increased demand by the newly legalized same sex marriage and the tremendous influx of new adoption requests by these gay couples.
When asked if they thought this bill would be blocked by the right wing controlled anti-abortion house, they said: “These anti-abortion groups should be happy. The LGBT community is now working with them to bring all these unborn babies into the world now that Gay marriage is legal. These loving gay couples are the solution to these unwanted babies and they will raise them up in a world where there is tolerance and no hate. These rightwing nuts should really be happy and stop hating everyone.”
When asked to comment, one unnamed major player in the anti-abortion movement had no comment.
OBAMA PLANS NEW GUN CONTROL POLICY TO BE READY BY JANUARY
President Obama hopes to have a set of recommendations ready to address gun law reform by January. The President has gathered together a team comprising of cabinet members as well as outside agencies.
“This is not some Washington commission. This is not something where folks are going to be studying the issue for six months and publishing a report that gets read and then pushed aside,” Obama said. “This is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now.”
The team is to be headed up by Vice-President Joe Biden.
The President has already made it clear he is in favor of banning assault rifles.
“A majority of Americans support banning the sale of military-style assault weapons. A majority of Americans support banning the sale of high-capacity ammunition clips. A majority of Americans support laws requiring background checks before all gun purchases so that criminals can’t take advantage of legal loopholes to buy a gun from somebody who won’t take the responsibility of doing a background check at all,” Obama said.
“I urge the new Congress to hold votes on these measures next year in a timely manner. And considering Congress hasn’t confirmed a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in six years — the agency that works most closely with state and local law enforcement to keep illegal guns out of the hands of criminals — I’d suggest that they make this a priority early in the year.”
Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein has also said she will re-introduce legislation that expired in 2004, which banned assault weapons. Sen. Feinstein has been a long term campaigner for gun law reform.

ADAM LANZA’S MOTHER: A PROPHET OF DOOM PREPARING FOR DISASTER
It has emerged that the mother of Adam Lanza was a gun-proud survivalist. Nancy Lanza, was part of the “prepper” movement, who believe we are about to see economic collapse in the nation. The Prepper movement encourages readiness for the collapse of society by hoarding food and weapons.
More details have also emerged about the mental state of her son Adam in the weeks running up to the deadly shooting. A friend of Mrs Lanza, said she feared she was “losing” him, “She said it was getting worse. She was having trouble reaching him,”
Nancy Lanza had five guns, three of which Adam Lanza took with him; he used one assault rifle to kill most of the victims.
The Democrats are now preparing a bill to limit access to assault rifles. The bill is likely to face stiff opposition in Congress.
White House Attempt To Give Millions To Egypt Meets Resistance
On Friday, Congress was notified by the Obama administration that it would be sending $450 million to Egypt. This $450 million is part of a $1 billion package that Obama had pledged to Egypt in 2011 for debt forgiveness to the United States.
The administration however has met resistance.
The direction of Egypt’s course under the Muslim Brotherhood, its policies, local protests against the American Embassy located in Cairo and how the Obama administration has handled crisis in Islamic regions has left some wondering why the US continues to send aid.
Kay Granger, a Texan Republican who is chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee that is responsible for managing foreign aid, said that she would block this aid distribution.
The US relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is now. Granger goes on to say, “I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time”.
However, Hillary Clinton speaking in New York on Friday, indicated that the world should do more in supporting the regions that have experienced the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings.
This debate comes at a time when Egypt is in an economic crisis. They are currently facing a $12 billion deficit in their budget.
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
for re-election.
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail,
cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to
a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask
each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will
have the message.
This is one idea that really should be passed
around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2012
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay when they’re out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social
Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the
American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in
Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their
term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will
only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive
the message. Don’t you think it’s time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
