Bush Signs Title X Funding Increase for 2005

By P. Leslie Riley, Jr.

February 10, 2005

Dear Friends,

** See press release below for details and facts **

I'm sure many of you have seen this, but at the bottom of this message is a press release containing some real, hard evidence that not only has our Republican, "pro-life" president betrayed his pro-life constituency ( and the unborn babies) by increasing the tax money used to fund America's largest abortion provider -- Planned Parenthood -- for the fifth consecutive year, but Mississippi's "pro-life", Republican Congressional delegation was an accessory to this crime against God & man. ** See press release below for more details and facts **

1) Pres. Bush, in the third debate last fall, stated that abortions had not and would not be paid for with taxpayer money. The FACT is that indirect funding of child-killing ( taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood and others ) was increased every year during Bush's first term . In 2001 more was given than in any budget during pro-abort Bill Clinton's eight years. The country's largest abortion provider was given over A BILLION DOLLARS during the first four years of solid "pro-life", conservative Republican rule. Funding was increased again this year -- to nearly $ 300 million

This means : a) Pres. Bush lied; or b) he has, for five consecutive years, signed over millions and billions of dollars confiscated from his pro-life constituency to a massive anti-Christ, child killing organisation without knowing what was in the budget. There are no other options.

2) The Republican controlled Congress & Senate, once again voted overwhelmingly for this bill. Before you try to blame Democrats a large majority of Republican members of both houses voted for this for this increase -- see exact numbers below. ( in fact, more Democrats voted against expanding the Federal Budget -- for whatever reason -- than Republicans).

3) If my fellow Mississippians try to say this is mostly because Yankee/ Left Coast liberal "RINO's" or just generally more libertarian or social liberal/ fiscal conservative Republicans -- here's the grim results from our Mississippi "Conservative" delegation : Both Republican Senators -- Lott & Cochran -- voted to increase the funding for abortion through Title X funding of Planned Murderhood. Likewise, in the House Ultra-Liberal Democrat Benny Thompson (Dist 2) was joined by "conservative", "pro-life" Republicans Roger Wicker ( Dist 1) and Chip Pickering (Dist 3) in increasing funding for the promotion & practice of child-murder. Only Democrat Gene Taylor ( Dist 4) voted against this funding.

4) Hypocrisy from Pro-Life "Leadership" : When the Clinton Administration gave money to Planned Parenthood the leadership of the Religious Right howled. Had Kerry won and the Democrats gained control of Congress and increased Federal Funding for abortion, you can bet the airwaves, mail outs, and e-mail list of these folks would have been white hot with fundraising efforts ( err, I mean "Alerts"). When Bush and the GOP do it we get silence -- save for the cheerleading we get when the "culture of life" is mentioned in a speech. Of course, if blaspheming Christ by repeatedly saying Christians and Muslims worship "the same god"; claiming American was built on "the Koran"; and having the most pro-Sodomite Administration in history does not make these folks stop gushing, I don't know why I would expect yet another funding increase for baby-killing to do so . . . at least we have a "place at the table".

THESE PIED PIPERS ARE NOT GOING TO LEAD US ANYWHERE EXCEPT ON THE ROAD TO RUIN !!! IF you are truly pro-life, and want to see not only Federal and State funding of child-murder ended, but child-murder itself, join and support a party who aims to stop murder, not fund and regulate it -- the Constitution Party.

If you want to see the size and scope of the government reduced, while actually working to see the state carry out its legitimate functions. Support a party whose very foundation and purpose is this -- the Constitution Party.

Stop supporting those who have shown time and again that they do not take their solemn duty to God, the desires ( or money) of their constituents, or the lives of the helpless and innocent any more seriously than they do their oath of office. Stop groveling at their feet and begging them to do their duty and obey their oath. REPLACE THEM. Run for office or support someone who will.

Stop giving time, money, effort, or attention to those who merely seek a large mailing list/ radio audience and lots of YOUR FAMILY'S HARD EARNED MONEY so that they can live high ( without having to work for a living) and rub elbows with the power-hungry statist politicians and god-hating media elite in Sodom on the Potomac. Use your time, talent, and treasure for the good of your family and neighbors; for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ through the spread of the whole Gospel through your local church; and to organise/ work with like-minded people in your community, state and region to take your government/ country back at the grass-roots level. "Victory cannot be achieved unless we first seek it" -- Howard Phillips

To change your government, change your vote.

Constitution Party of Mississippi --

** Honor God ** Defend the Family ** Restore the Republic ** and to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical presuppositions and restrain government back to its Constitutional limits".

Yours in the Service of King Jesus and Opposed to all assaults on His Kingdom,

Psalm 119:126

Bush Signs Title X Funding Increase for 2005 Planned Parenthood's Abortion Funding Increased

President George W. Bush and the Republican-majority Congress Increased Title X to record $288.3 million in FY 2005 on 12/8/04

Title X is one of two major federal government funding sources for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the nation's largest chain of abortion centers (murdering over 244,000 unborn human beings per year by surgical abortion alone).

Title X appropriation for FY 2005 (Oct. 2004 to Sept. 2005) was signed into law as part of H.R. 4818 (see bill at http://thomas.loc.gov), the mammoth appropriations bill which contained the huge outlays for the (unconstitutional) Department of Health and Human Services.

Republican-majority U.S. House approved H.R. 4818 by a vote of 344 to 51, on November 20, 2004 (Roll Call Number: 542). [Republicans 183 Yea, 27 Nay; Democrats 160 Yea, 24 Nay; 1 Independent Yea]

Republican-majority U.S. Senate approved H.R. 4818 by a vote of 65 to 30, on November 20, 2004 (Record Vote Number: 215) [Republicans 42 Yea, 6 Nay; Democrats 23 Yea, 23 Nay; 1 Independent Nay]

Republican President signed H.R. 4818 into law, authorizing the highest ever spending level for Title X in the history of the program, on December 8, 2004. It became Public Law No. 108-447.

This FY 2005 Bush administration Title X funding level of $288 million (an estimated $50-$60 million of which will be paid to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, for population control), exceeds by over $30 million, the highest Title X level during the Clinton administration, in FY 2001, of $254 million!

Note:

The Title X program includes funding for contraceptive birth control; birth control that causes chemical abortions; and birth control for unmarried adolescents, even if their parents object to the federal government giving their children hormonal drugs and devices with which to fornicate.

The Title X program is also one of the principal federal government funding mechanisms for Planned Parenthood Federation of America (founded by Margaret Sanger), the nation's largest chain of child-murder-by-abortion centers.
