Campaign Update - April, 2012


THE HOUSE

IOWA: STEVE KING This month Planned Parenthood issued a target list of pro-life leaders they labeled as “The Toxic Ten.” Congressman Steve King of Iowa highlighted in the latest Planned Parenthood attack for this comment he made on the floor of the House:  

Congressman Steve King
Congressman Steve King

 “I’m going to add to this that neither shall we vote to fund Planned Parenthood  and I shall be looking for ways to unfund every other entity like them that promotes abortion or provides abortion as a matter of practice in their facilities.”

 Congressman King is an outspoken defender of life, and Planned Parenthood wants him out. Together with the ultra-pro-abortion group, EMILY’s List, they have recruited and funded Democrat Christie Vilsack to run against him. Vilsack was the former executive director (and currently Chairman of the Board) of the Iowa Initiative, an umbrella organization for pro-abortion groups which advocates expanding public taxpayer funding for abortion. She is also an advocate of allowing abortions even if a woman has entered labor.

Iowa lost one congressman because of the last census, and the state was redistricted. As a result Steve King’s district has moved form a registered voter advantage of plus 5 points Republican to a negative for him of plus four points Democrat. This is going to be a hard fought battle to keep one of the top pro-life leaders in the House. GING-PAC has endorsed and will support Congressman King for reelection.

************************************************************************
Planned Parenthoods “Toxic Ten list” includes Congressmen: Todd Akin (MO), Ann Marie Buerkle (NY), Joe Donnelly (IN), Sean Duffy (WI), Mike Fitzpatrick (PA), Steve King (IA), Mike Pence (IN), Denny Rehberg (MT), Allen West (FL) and Senator Marco Rubio (FL). Mike Pence is leaving Congress to run for governor of Indiana.

FLORIDA: SANDY ADAMS Sandy Adams is one of the Freshmen who came to Congress riding the wave of sentiment against the iron fist of government Barack Obama imposed upon our nation after his election. She has proven to be one of the best assets that pro-family, pro-life groups have on Capitol Hill. She has an amazing story. At age 17 she dropped out of high school and married only to have to run from an abusive husband. Eventually gaining a high school diploma, she attended law enforcement classes and became a deputy sheriff. She remarried, to a sheriff’s deputy who was killed in the line of duty just seventeen months later. She obtained a college degree attending night school and in 2002 was elected to the Florida House in a tough election. She was reelected three times before winning a seat in the U.S. House in 2010. Now comes the hard part for her.                                      
Florida has been redistricted since the 2010 election and many congressmen are running in districts that did not even exist the last time they ran. Adams’ district is still about two-thirds intact and she was headed for reelection until an establishment five-term Republican congressman, John Mica, decided to run against her in the GOP primary. This is an outright betrayal by the establishment GOP, and GING-PAC is backing Sandy Adams.

FLORIDA: ALLEN WEST - All I can say is wow! The first time Col. Allen West ran for Congress, GING-PAC was about the only PAC to back him. He had virtually no money and almost won in 2008. He ran again in 2010 and knocked out one of the biggest mouths of the Democrat party, radical Ron Klein. Now he is the number one target of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The national Democrats have an outright racial hatred of Allen West simply because he is a conservative African-American. In the minds of the white men who run the Democrat Party, they own blacks and Allen West is off the plantation.

In the first quarter of this year Allen West raised more money than any other congressman including Speaker Boehner. West is going to give the Democrats the same kind of fight he gave the Islamists in Iraq as a colonel in the U.S. Army. We are sticking by West!

MARYLAND: KEN TIMMERMAN Simon Wiesenthal said this about Ken Timmerman: “I have spent my life tracking down the murderers of yesterday. Mr. Timmerman is tracking down the murderers of tomorrow.” — Simon Wiesenthal
My good friend Ken Timmerman is a nationally recognized investigative reporter and an international religious-freedom guardian who plans to defeat Nancy Pelosi’s right-hand man, Representative Chris Van Hollen, in the 8th District of Maryland. Ken and I have traveled to the Middle East on fact finding missions and he has written extensively on the plight of Iraqi Christian refugees.

Timmerman is a recognized authority on defense and intelligence issues who has testified as an expert witness in terrorism trials in U.S. federal courts and before Congress. For the past seven years, Ken has been the lead investigator for families of 9/11 victims in a civil lawsuit against Iran. Based on Ken’s evidence, a federal district judge ruled just before Christmas that Iran “shared responsibility” for the 9/11 terrorist attacks with al Qaeda, and had provided “direct, material support” for the attacks. He has written several books including an expose of Jesse Jackson and a fictional thriller on today’s persecuted Christians of Iraq.  (He based one of  the characters in the book after me.)

If anyone can beat radical Chris Van Hollen, it is Ken Timmerman. GING-PAC will stand behind Ken in his bid for the House.

THE PRESIDENCY

GING-PAC backs social conservative candidates and that is why I worked hard to help Senator Rick Santorum in his drive for the GOP nomination. Getting Rick the nomination was an uphill battle, with the entire GOP establishment behind Romney, and hundreds of millions of dollars coming from the Mormon Church available to Mitt Romney for negative advertising. Even Fox News was in the bag for Romney.

The Rick Santorum campaign accomplished much. For months social conservatism was at the forefront of the GOP campaign and the news media could not ignore us; we had a champion. Rick Santorum stated bluntly that the way out of poverty was marriage, not welfare,  and that the nuclear family was the core strength of America. He stated boldly again and again that life begins at conception, despite the ridicule of the mainstream media. Keeping Rick Santorum on the campaign trail as long as was done, was a great victory in itself.

Now we must move forward, and GING-PAC needs more than $10 and $20 contributions. To fight the more than one billion dollars the Democrats will spend this cycle, I need your help. Please consider a larger contribution this month. Donate today! Thank you and God bless you.

March, 2012 Campaign Update

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE 

KEEPING RICK SANTORUM OUT IN FRONT – Imagine the Fox Business Channel running the presidential debate, and allowing nothing except the economy to be discussed on TV, radio or in newspapers.
Rick Santorum faith family freedomImagine the GOP presidential primary with no mention of the murder of thirty-five million babies under Roe v. Wade. Imagine the entire presidential primary going by with same-sex marriage as a given, and not a single word said against it by any candidate. Imagine forcing Christian pharmacists to hand out pills to induce abortion and not a single word said against it by a presidential candidate.

Imagine Christian schools being forced by the government to hire atheist teachers and Jewish schools being forced to hire Muslims to teach religion, and there being no one running for president that said ‘no.” Imagine a presidential race where nothing but money mattered and no one even stepped forward to be critical of legalizing prostitution or drugs.  Imagine a presidential race where not a critical word was said of Islamic Sharia law.

Imagine all of the above and you would have a good vision of a presidential race without Rick Santorum.

Economic conservatives, just like libertarians and far left Marxists, do not believe that the family or religion is important to society. It is just all about money. The economic conservatives believe that this would be a great society with virtually no government and everyone taking their money and doing whatever they want to do with it, including buying the sexual services of poorer women and young boys. To them drugs are just another form of commerce that hurts no one.

Just ask Dr. Ron Paul … drugs are harmless. Ron Paul, as a doctor, knows that the majority of liver failures in the United States have something to do with drug use, but his ideology blinds him to the harm and death done to individuals and the destruction of families by drugs and prostitution. Libertarians and economic conservatives just don’t care about families, they don’t care if they fail or not, and they sure don’t mind gays adopting kids for cash.

Meanwhile socialists like Barack Obama want to actively work to destroy families. Strong families stand in the way of the socialist goal of having government to be father and mother to the people. Liberals believe in the central government utopian model. Remember Hillary Clinton’s book, It Takes A Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us. The theme of the book was simple … families don’t raise good kids, governments do.

That is a summary of the two major positions in America. Economic conservatives who think money is the solution to all problems and that families don’t matter; and socialists who want to do away with families because they are in the way of establishing utopia on Earth.

Then there is Rick Santorum and we social conservatives.

Here is some sales talk: You can’t make a sale without telling people about the product. We social conservatives can never stop abortion in America unless we have high profile spokesmen telling Americans that babies in the womb are human beings.

Right now Rick Santorum is our main salesman. He is the guy out front saying that human life, the family and religious liberty are important. That message is coming across loud and clear and he is changing the minds and the lives of Americans with his message. The message Rick Santorum is delivering is more important than winning or losing. Telling the truth about the wrong direction of America can help to change our nation.

Can Rick Santorum beat Barack Obama? Yes. Voters will turn to Rick Santorum in November because he is different from Barack Obama. Independents will not vote for a Republican who is not much different from the Democrat.

Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting Barack Obama, raised $2 million in February including $1 million from television host Bill Maher. The same month GING-PAC raised $10,000. Sadly that is the case for most social conservative PAC’s.  Businesses fund economic conservative organizations that support Mitt Romney, not social conservative or pro-life groups. As the oldest social conservative political action committee, GING-PAC is in a position to really help social conservatives running for the House, the Senate and the White House – if we have the funds.

In March, Scott Cooper, a social conservative and Tea Party leader in Virginia, came forward to serve with me in the leadership of GING-PAC. Scott will serve as the executive director of our political action committee. Because of his grass roots Tea Party experience, he will bring new volunteers and a fresh look to Government Is Not God- PAC which has been the premier social conservative political action committee since 1994.

In the last three years Barack Obama and his administration have been at war with Christianity. His attorney general, Eric Holder, tried to control the employment practices of Christian schools. Obama has tried to use his medical insurance mandate to force Catholic groups to pay for contraceptives. Food pantries have been denied food from federal sources because people were seen praying before meals. Military chaplains have been told how to pray and at one point Bibles were banned from veterans’ hospitals. But, Obama stands with Muslims to build a super mosque at Ground Zero.
We can only stop Barack Obama’s war on Judeo-Christian values by replacing him with someone who shares our values.

It is my promise to you that Government Is Not God – PAC will work full time to defeat Barack Obama and his cronies in the Senate who want to “fundamentally change” the United States into their vision of a utopia – which may be a dream life for them, but will be a nightmare for the people of this nation.

This is the hard truth: GING-PAC needs help to fight the one billion dollars Barack Obama intends to spend, we need some real money as well. If everyone visiting this site each week would donate just $5.00 we would have tens of thousands of dollars to spend to defeat Barack Obama. Please consider a contribution of of just five bucks!

February, 2012 Campaign Update


THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE 

RICK SANTORUM NOW THE LEADER– In January, before the Iowa GOP caucus, GING-PAC endorsed Senator Rick Santorum for the presidency. At the time I made several points about his opponents. I stated that Mitt Romney would not be able to defend the mandated health care system he instituted in Massachusetts when he was governor there, and that he was just not a lifetime conservative who had lived and breathed the cause as did Rick Santorum. I also wrote that former Speaker Newt Gingrich actually had been on more sides of more issues than Mitt Romney, and that when his record was exposed his support would collapse. Newt Gingrich supported centrally planned mandates to force people to buy insurance for twenty years, far longer than Romney. Both Gingrich and Romney have supported the radical environmentalist “cap and trade” taxes.

Rick Santorum and William J. MurrayIn the January, 2012 Campaign Update I wrote about how I had worked directly with Rick Santorum while he was in the Senate, when he had set up the International Religious Freedom Caucus to aid persecuted religious minorities, particularly Christians in majority Muslim nations.

I received a storm of letters and e-mails from people telling me that it did not matter that Rick Santorum was the true conservative in the race, that they were going to support a “winner.” I was lectured by an untold number of people as to why it was important to back Romney because he had plenty of money to run, and why I should support Gingrich because he did a better debate showing than any of the others. In some letters I was told that Romney “looked presidential” and that was the best reason to vote for him.

In the January Campaign Update I asked supporters to send me checks made out to Rick Santorum for President so I could “bundle” them and give them to the campaign. I received three checks totaling $100.

I stuck with Rick Santorum because he is the true conservative in the race.

As of today Rick Santorum is number one in the national polls. In Mitt Romney’s home state of Michigan, Rick Santorum has a double digit lead. Romney has been forced to buy $2 million in negative mud slinging advertising against Santorum in Michigan to try to save himself from the embarrassment of being defeated by as much as 15 points in his home state. I predict this will not help, and that Santorum will still beat Romney in Michigan.

About the only state in which Newt Gingrich still leads Santorum is Georgia, the state Newt Gingrich represented in Congress, and that race is getting tight. While Rick Santorum used what money he could raise to run his campaign, Newt Gingrich borrowed millions and has virtually no money in the bank to even buy ads in Georgia. He has to rely on the TV ads placed by a Las Vegas billionaire who made his money on gambling. Think about that for a few minutes.

The entire GOP establishment, plus Fox News, has been pushing Mitt Romney. This is their argument: “We need a moderate to win in November.” REALLY?  Is this why we now have a President McCain, because moderate Republicans do better? Is this why moderate Senator Bob Dole beat Bill Clinton? Is this why Ronald Reagan lost? Is this why George W. Bush lost when he ran as a conservative? Oops! There was no President Dole and there was no President McCain.

When there is no clear distinction, the people vote for Democrats. If Obama is going to get knocked out in November it is going to take a conservative who has clearly different positions and a clearly different direction for the nation. Mitt Romney and his “Romney Care” and Newt Gingrich doing environmental protection TV ads with Nancy Pelosi just don’t make a clear distinction. Rick Santorum is the true conservative and he can beat Barack Obama.

Just as I did last month I am going to ask you to help GING-PAC elect Rick Santorum as president. There are several ways you can help.

First, social network fund raising is done at a site called Fundly.com. I have set up a personal page at Fundly.com/RickSantorumforPresident79 that includes a video message from me, endorsing Rick. One hundred percent of the funds raised there go to Rick Santorum’s campaign. The nice thing about Fundly.com is that you can then share your donation on Facebook and that encourages others to donate as well.

Second, donations can also be given at his home Internet site. I am a registered “bundler” with the Rick Santorum campaign and my initials are the code to let the campaign know I sent you there. To give directly at this site go to: RickSantorum.com/WJM.

Third, checks can be written directly to Rick Santorum for President and sent either to GING-PAC or directly to the campaign. If you send your checks to GING-PAC we will “bundle” them every week and send them for special handling at the campaign headquarters. This lets Rick know that we are working for him. (Election laws do not allow us to tell a candidate or his campaign what we are doing on his behalf in advance.)

Fourth, you can send funds to GING-PAC that we will use to promote independently the campaign of Rick Santorum. As an example, back in 2008 GING-PAC called every known pro-life voter in South Carolina and Georgia, asking them to vote for Mike Huckabee. We could do that again for a candidate such as Rick Santorum, but we have to have the funds on hand.

Every four years we hear the talking heads on television say that an election will “determine the future of America” or that it is the “most important election since Abraham Lincoln” or something to that effect. It is true that virtually every election changes the direction of the nation somewhat, but this election is truly different.

In the last three years Barack Obama has increased the debt of this nation by more than did all previous presidents combined. He has implemented new rules, using executive orders, to make sure that our nation will be dependent on oil from Islamic nations for decades to come. He has done true damage to the social fabric of the nation by promoting homosexuality while at the same time drastically increasing Islamic immigration. The nation can’t survive four more years of Obama.
It is my promise to you that Government Is Not God – PAC will work full time to defeat Barack Obama and his cronies in the Senate who want to “fundamentally change” the United States into their vision of a utopia – which will be a dream life for them but a nightmare for the people.

This is the hard truth: GING-PAC needs more than $10 and $20 contributions in 2012. To fight the one billion dollars Barack Obama intends to spend, we need some real money as well. Please consider a contribution of $100 or more this month to GING-PAC. Donate now online.

With your contribution to GING-PAC you can also include a separate check made out to Rick Santorum for President, and I will deliver it to him with other checks from GING-PAC supporters. Thank you and God bless you

The Gingrich Disaster in South Carolina

Newt GingrichNewt Gingrich, riding high on his attacks on the media, received 41% of the vote. The problem with this is that Newt Gingrich’s views change literally by the minute and he has held far more positions on both sides of the issues than has Gov. Mitt Romney. Because I am a Washington insider and because I do know Newt Gingrich well, I can say with clarity that if he is the Republican nominee for president Barack Obama will win a second term and the Republicans will lose control of the House and drop seats in the Senate. During a second Obama term the pro-life movement will be crushed using Obama Care and the United States will become a welfare state. Religious freedom as we know it will end, with the government controlling who is hired and fired by the church and dictating what can be said from the pulpit.

The day Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the race, Fox News commentators said it was really bad news for Santorum because he would now finish last behind Ron Paul. The final polls showed Rick Santorum at 9%, but on election day he nearly doubled that, decidedly defeating Ron Paul. After the departure of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, the only consistent conservative left in the GOP primary race is Rick Santorum. Both Gov. Mitt Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich had supported the same medical insurance mandates as Barack Obama. Gingrich appeared in a TV ad with radical leftist Nancy Pelosi promoting “green energy.” As for Ron Paul, his foreign affairs views are to the far left of Barack Obama’s.

Campaign Update - January, 2012

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Rick Santorum and William J MurrayGING-PAC ENDORSES RICK SANTORUM – As the chairman of Government Is Not God Political Action Committee (GING-PAC), I officially endorsed former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum for the office of the President of the United States just prior to the Iowa caucuses. To this official endorsement by GING-PAC I added my personal endorsement as well.

Often GING-PAC will assist more than one social conservative in the same race without an endorsement. Early in the primary process I authorized funds for both Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Senator Rick Santorum because GING-PAC’s purpose in existence is getting out the pro-life, pro-family message, and both of those candidates were doing just that. We did not send any funds to Governor Rick Perry who also had a pro-life message, because he was supported from the start by wealthy donors and super-PACs who gave his campaign a multimillion dollar advantage. Newt Gingrich also was supported with millions of dollars of super-PAC money.

Up to and during his time as Speaker of the House, I met with Newt Gingrich on numerous occasions. On one of those occasions he was promoting mandated health insurance that is no different than Obamacare, which he is now against. I really like Newt Gingrich personally and he is a brilliant man; however, the reality is that he has been on both sides of more issues than has Governor Mitt Romney. I cannot support either of these men because of their numerous flip-flops.

As the Iowa caucuses approached it became apparent that there was only one solid social conservative with a proven record of leadership both in the House and in the Senate, and that I believed could take on establishment candidate Mitt Romney. That individual is Rick Santorum.

Rick Santorum has an understanding that goes beyond being pro-life and pro-family. He thoroughly understands the current rise of radical Islam and how it poses a threat to Western civilization. Rick Santorum is committed to defending religious freedom not only here in America but around the world. During his time in the Senate Rick Santorum established the International Religious Freedom Caucus. This caucus of Senators in cooperation with outside groups worked tirelessly for the freedom of religious minorities, particularly in predominantly Islamic nations where they are persecuted.

In my capacity as the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition I worked closely with Rick Santorum during his years in the Senate to free men and women in prisons in Islamic nations facing false charges of blasphemy. In some cases they faced the death penalty because they were born into Muslim families but had accepted Christ as Lord.

Rick Santorum is my choice and the choice of GING-PAC to replace Barack Obama – the worst, most anti-capitalist, anti-Israel, pro-Islam, and anti-military leader — our nation has ever experienced. We will put our resources and time into helping elect Rick Santorum to become the next President of the United States.

You can help GING-PAC help Rick Santorum in several ways:

First, social network fund raising is done at a site called Fundly.com. I have set up a personal page at www.Fundly.com/RickSantorumforPresident79 that includes a video message from me, endorsing Rick. One hundred percent of the funds raised there go to Rick Santorum’s campaign. The nice thing about Fundly.com is that you can then share your donation on Facebook and that encourages others to donate as well.

Second, donations can also be given at his home Internet site. I am a registered “bundler” with the Rick Santorum campaign and my initials are the code to let the campaign know I sent you there. To give directly at this site go to: www.RickSantorumforPresident.com/WJM.

Third, checks can be written directly to Rick Santorum for President and sent either to GING-PAC or directly to the campaign. If you send your checks to GING-PAC we will “bundle” them every week and send them for special handling at the campaign headquarters. This lets Rick know that the PAC and I are working for him. (Election laws do not allow us to tell a candidate or his campaign what we are doing on his behalf in advance.)

Fourth, you can send funds to GING-PAC that we will use to promote independently the campaign of Rick Santorum. As an example, back in 2008 GING-PAC called every known pro-life voter in South Carolina and Georgia, asking them to vote for Mike Huckabee. We could do that again for a candidate such as Rick Santorum, but we have to have the funds on hand.

Every four years we hear the talking heads on television say that an election will ‘determine the future of America’ or that it is the ‘most important election since Abraham Lincoln’ or something to that effect. It is true that virtually every election changes the direction of the nation somewhat, but this election is truly different.
In the last three years Barack Obama has increased the debt of this nation by more than did all previous presidents combined. He has implemented new rules, using executive orders, to make sure that our nation will be dependent on oil from Islamic nations for decades to come. He has also done true damage to the social fabric of the nation by promoting homosexuality while at the same time drastically increasing Islamic immigration.

Four more years of Barack Obama will separate yet another generation of Americans from dependence on the family and instead encourage them to be wards of the government. We will have a nation of puppets, with strings called “benefits” attached to puppet masters in Washington. Our freedom of speech is being eroded as has already occurred in Europe, as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton work to outlaw any criticism of Islam.

It is my promise to you that Government Is Not God – PAC will work full time to defeat Barack Obama and his cronies in the Senate who want to “fundamentally change” the United States into their vision of a utopia – which will be a dream life for them but a nightmare for the people.

This is the hard truth: GING-PAC needs more than $10 and $20 contributions in 2012. To fight the one billion dollars Barack Obama intends to spend, we need some real money as well. Please consider a contribution of $100 or more this month to GING-PAC. Donate today.

With your contribution to GING-PAC you can also include a separate check made out to Rick Santorum for President, and I will deliver it to him with other checks from GING-PAC supporters. Thank you and God bless you

Government Is Not God -PAC officially endorsed Senator Rick Santorum for the office of President of the United States on December 30th, 2011. In his statement of endorsement GING-PAC chairman William J. Murray stated that although there were other social conservatives in the race Senator Santorum's experience as a congressman and Senator and proven dedication to religious liberty indicated that he should receive the GOP nomination.

Campaign Update - December, 2011

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE 

OBAMA CHAMPIONS ISLAM YET FAVORS GAYS – Other than Muslims and Jews,  no groups could be further at odds than Muslims and homosexuals. In both Saudi Arabia and Iran homosexuals have in recent times been publicly hung. In sections of London where Sharia law is enforced signs are posted warning homosexuals to stay out or face “justice.” The Obama Administration, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the fore, wants to wage a international diplomatic war for homosexual “rights.”

On December 6th at a conference in Geneva, Switzerland attended by diplomats from all over the world including Arab nations, Secretary Clinton compared the struggle for “gay equality” to difficult passages toward women’s rights and racial equality. She said that a nation’s cultural or religious “traditions” are not an excuse for discrimination against homosexuals. “Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights,” she said.

“It should never be a crime to be gay,” Clinton declared and concluded that, “Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world.”

At the same moment in Washington, DC President Barack Obama was directing U.S. agencies working abroad, including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, to use foreign aid to assist gays and lesbians who are facing human rights violations. He ordered U.S. agencies to “protect” vulnerable gay and lesbian refugees and asylum seekers. In a statement issued with the memorandum Obama said, “The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States’ commitment to promoting human rights.”

In effect President Obama ordered U.S. agencies to import homosexuals from all over the world who are threatened. Thus anyone walking into an embassy anywhere in the world where homosexual activities including “gay marriage” are illegal claiming to be gay will be put at the front of the line to immigrate to the United States. How would they prove their “gayness?”

Oddly, President Obama had already put Muslim refugees at the front of the line. It is well known in the Christian communities in Muslim nations that they will not even be considered for immigrant status to the United States, even if they already have relatives here. The Obama Administration is importing hundreds of thousands of Muslim “refugees” and using Nashville and Atlanta to resettle them as a means of busting the Bible belt which is a traditional foe of the Democrat party. Muslim refugees and homosexuals now have special status to immigrate to the United States. This is an Obama legacy that must be ended. This nation needs immigrants that are well educated, hard working and of child bearing age.

THE SENATE
WISCONSIN – In 2008, when long time ultra-liberal Senator Russ Feingold was defeated,  the headline at liberal Salon.com was  Progressive hero Feingold defeated by wide margin:  Tea Party-backed businessman Ron Johnson will be the next senator from Wisconsin.” Six years earlier, GING-PAC backed Congressman Mark Neumann had come within two points of defeating Feingold. Neumann was a strong social conservative, a businessman who had won two terms in the House, where he backed the partial-birth abortion ban and other pro-life legislation. Neumann was constantly ridiculed by the liberal press in Wisconsin while he was in office.
Mark Neumann and William J Murray worked on pro-life legislation in 1998
Mark Neumann and William J Murray
Wisconsin now has one conservative Senator, Ron Johnson, whose vote in the Senate is countered on virtually every issue by Democrat Senator Herb Kohl. Senator Kohl, is a wealthy liberal who owns the Milwaukee Bucks NBA basketball team. He is retiring on his vast wealth,  which he pretends to hate in speeches on the floor of the Senate.

The retirement of Kohl is an opportunity for a second true conservative, a social conservative, to join Ron Johnson in representing the state of Wisconsin.  This state has for decades been represented by people who do not share the values of their constituents.

South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, a Tea Party stalwart, has endorsed Mark Neumann in the Wisconsin Senate Republican primary race. Mark Neumann will face former Governor Tommy Thompson and State Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald. In his endorsement DeMint said, “Mark Neumann is a proven, conservative leader and he’s running against Tommy Thompson, a Republican who helped President Obama pass his healthcare takeover.” Regardless of what the media may report, Thompson is no conservative.

There is no doubt in my mind that Mark Neumann will win the GOP primary, and also that Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, the lesbian activist who pushes the gay agenda and big government policies in the House of Representatives, will win the Democrat primary.

Baldwin is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of socialists who relentlessly work to undermine the free enterprise system and to create a huge welfare state. Not able to damage the social fabric of the nation enough in the House, Baldwin wants to do more damage to our nation as a U.S. Senator, by among other things repealing of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).  Her main cause is homosexuality.
The choice for the people of Wisconsin could not be more clear — Neumann, a pro-life family man, versus lesbian activist Baldwin. GING-PAC has joined Senator DeMint in endorsing Mark Neumann for the open Senate seat in Wisconsin.

A final note: Barack Obama has promised to spend one billion dollars in his efforts to win reelection. This billion dollars does not even include the use of Air Force One to travel the nation making class warfare speeches as he has been doing already in swing states for the past several months. He will spend millions of dollars in tax payers’ dolllars as well.

I really need your help to wage the war for freedom in 2012. The first presidential primary is just over one month away and we urgently need cash in the bank. We must all work together to save America. Please help financially.

Campaign Update - October-November, 2011

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE
WHAT THE PRESIDENTIAL CHALLENGERS BELIEVE – Over the years I have had the privilege to work on various projects with some of the current Republican candidates for President and I have met and talked to most of them more than once. Just before she announced her run for the presidency I was one of just eight conservative leaders who had lunch with Michele Bachmann at the Capitol Hill club in Washington, DC.
What kind of people are the Republican candidates and how do they differ from Obama? Back in the late 1990’s, then Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared at several press conferences held by the Religious Freedom Coalition in support of a Religious Freedom Amendment to the Constitution that would allow kids and teachers to pray in school. One rather famous photo shows me speaking at a podium with the entire House leadership of Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey and Tom DeLay standing behind me. Although he never commented on Islam during the George W. Bush presidency, since Obama was sworn in Gingrich has made numerous statements and produced documentaries on Islamic oppression.
Over a period of many years Senator Rick Santorum ran a separate International Religious Freedom Caucus in the Senate. He held monthly meetings with organizations such as the Religious Freedom Coalition, not only to discuss but to take action against the persecution of religious minorities in the Middle East, and in China and Vietnam as well. In July of 2006 I was with Senator Santorum at a press conference at the Washington, DC Press Club when he was the first seated politician to use the phrase “Islamic fascism,” much to the disdain of the White House. Far from backing down, at a later meeting at the White House with Senators  he held a copy of the speech up in the air and asked President George W. Bush to please read it.
Rick Santorum is a conservative, believing Catholic. He and his wife Karen, who is a nurse, have seven living children.  On November 12, 2004, Rick and Karen were invested as Knight and Dame of Magistral Grace of the Knights of Malta in a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City. Only the most conservative of Catholics would receive such an honor. During conversations with the couple at a meeting here in Washington, DC, Karen told me that her only disagreement ever with her husband was when he backed liberal Republican Senator Arlen Specter for reelection. She is definitely no Laura Bush.
I have known Herman Cain for many years and back in 2004, Government Is Not God political action committee supported his Senate campaign because of his outspoken support of social conservative causes. Recently he told the Values Voter Summit, “I am 100 % pro-life from the hour of conception.” Herman Cain is not just a businessman. He worked for six years in the Department of the Navy and has made it clear he is opposed to homosexuals serving openly in the military. Cain stands with social conservatives on virtually every issue. In my presence, in meetings he has called Islamists an existential threat to America.
Note: In November the left leaning online journal Politico lauched attacks against Cain accusing him of sexual harrassment. He was never accused of touching anyone or actually doing anything, but a couple of women that worked for him said they “felt uncomfortable.” The reality is different. Virtually every executive in America has had such accusations thrown at them when they have job disputes with women; it is part of the corporate culture. In 48 hours the TV networks ran more tha 50 segmetns on the unproven accusations. In 1997 when Kathleen Willey accused President Bill Clinton of “groping” her, the media ran one story in the first 48 hours. Why the different standard? Liberals have a radical, racist hatred of conservative black Americans.
The views of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann were well known before she declared for the presidency. During a recent conversation, Michele Bachmann told me, “I thought I was a Christian because I was born into a Lutheran family. As a teenager I heard the Gospel with two girlfriends at an evangelical church and I made the decision to abandon myself for Jesus.” Several times during the conversation Michele used the term “abandoned myself” to describe her conversion experience.
In small group discussions I have been in with Michele Bachmann, she has convinced me that she understands the threat of Islamic domination of the world. This month I met her husband Marcus for the first time. He is a Christian psychologist whose office is surrounded by homosexual demonstrators virtually every week because he accepts patients who don’t want to be “gay” any more.
I have met Congressman Ron Paul numerous times and he is a true libertarian. Unfortunately libertarians like Ron Paul agree more often with Barack Obama on social issues than with me. He sees absolutely no need for the United States to assist persecuted Christians. He believes that sales of drugs, including heroin, and the sale of one’s body for use in prostitution should be up to each state. Because of his position on same-sex marriage he has been endorsed by the “conservative” gay political action committee Log Cabin Republicans.
While I met briefly with Rick Perry when he was Lieutenant Governor of Texas, I have never had an in depth conversation with him to try to discern his sincerity. I have never met with Governor Romney as we do not travel, shall we say, in the same circles. My purpose here is to talk about those I know personally and to try to convey the difference between them and President Barack Obama.
The four Republicans I have met and interacted the most with — Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum — have profound differences with President Barack Obama. In conclusion, none of these four, nor any of the rest of the GOP presidential field,  approves of the radical class war demonstrations across the nation that are supported by Barack Obama, the Democratic Party and the major labor unions. Obama’s support of these violent demonstrations, which at one point shut down the port of Oakland, must be remembered in 2012.
A final note: There was no October issue of the GINGPAC Update because I have been working almost full time on the Constitution or Sharia Conference that will take place in Nashville, Tennessee on 11/11/11. The Hutton Hotel in that city was pressured by Muslims and cancelled the contract with us. Since then we have moved the conference to a church. For more information,  please go to www.PreservingFreedomConference.org.
            And finally, GINGPAC does need financial support to be a part of the 2012 battle. While the presidential race is in the headlines we still need more conservatives in the House and the Senate. Help GING-PAC today!

Remembering the jihad attack of September 11th

I was on I-395 approaching the 14th Street bridge at the moment Islamic terrorists flew hijacked American Airlines 77 into the Pentagon. At the time I was literally on the phone with an assistant to President Bush talking about the jihad attack in New York City. I had been headed to a press conference in support of the Sudan Peace Act that the White House opposed. The Sudan Peace Act would have punished the Islamic Sudanese government economically for murdering for the continued persecution and mass murder of Christians in the South Sudan. This video contains my remarks at a church service on the first anniversary of of the jihad attack of September 11th against the United States.

Campaign Update - August, 2011

SPECIAL ELECTIONS
CALIFORNIA 36thThe GING-PAC endorsed candidate lost in the special election held on July 12th for the 36th congressional district in California. Craig Huey had won an amazing victory in the primary race by finishing second with half a dozen candidates seeking the post. In the runoff election Huey faced Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who was bankrolled by unions, pro-abortionists, Hollywood limousine liberals and many leftist groups.  

The far left Hahn got 55% of the vote to Huey’s 45%.  Even this was surprising considering that the 36th is a heavily Democratic area running from Venice to San Pedro and includes Torrance. Hahn will still have to run for re-election in 2012. By then she will have established a radical voting record in the House which Huey can expose if he chooses to run again.

Going into the race Craig Huey was a long shot. GING-PAC supported him because he was delivering a pro-life, pro-family message in an area where schools don’t teach and newspapers don’t print anything that would be considered pro-Christian. Every dollar was worth the investment in educating people in that district that there is a different point of view. The seat had been held by the far left for decades.

NEW YORK 9thA Republican who is also on the Conservative party line, a radical left Democrat and a socialist are running to fill the seat held by disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner whose career ended with his naked posts on Twitter.  Andy Sullivan, a construction worker who has led the effort to stop the Ground Zero mosque from being built in New York City tried and failed to get on the GOP ticket. Bob Turner was picked by the New York Republican Party and the Conservative Party to challenge Democrat NY Assemblyman David Weprin, an Obama-style radical. Weprin has been described in the New York media as a machine politician. He’s been endorsed by the smarmy Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Christopher Hoeppner of the Socialist Workers Party turned in 7,080 signatures to put his name and party on the ballot in the September 13 special election.


Former New York Mayor and lifelong Democrat Ed Koch has vowed that he will vote for the Republican Bob Turner in order to punish President Obama for his anti-Israel policies. According to Koch: “If Jewish New Yorkers and others who support Israel were to turn away from the Democratic Party in that congressional election and elect the Republican candidate to Congress in 2011, it might very well cause President Obama to change his hostile position on the state of Israel and to re-establish the special relationship presidents before him had supported.” Turner is now running a TV ad attacking Weprin for his support of the Ground Zero mosque.

GING-PAC has not yet endorsed either Republican for Weiner’s seat. Although Bob Turner is a pro-life conservative Catholic who stands against same-sex marriage, he was also the producer of TV programs that are rather hard to justify, such as the Jerry Springer Show.

Congressman David Wu tiger suit OREGON 1stWhile many of the Democrats in the House such as Nancy Pelosi are sort of nuts, Congressman David Wu was truly nuts. Unlike Democrat Anthony Weiner who sent out photos with no clothes on, Wu sent out photos of himself in a tiger suit. He is also accused of making unwanted sexual advances to an 18-year-old girl. After his reelection most of his staff quit in disgust with his actions. Democrat leaders in Oregon said they were “relieved” by his departure as he continued to embarrass their party and the entire state on Capitol Hill.

A primary will be held on November 8th and the special election on January 31st, 2011. The winner will have to immediately begin to campaign for reelection in November of 2011. Unlike in California’s 36th which is overwhelming Democrat, there is an opportunity for a Republican to win in Oregon despite its liberal tendencies. Wu won in November of last year with 54% of the vote. Republican businessman Rob Cornilles has announced he will seek the seat. Cornilles, ran unsuccessfully against Wu in the 2010 general election. John Kuzmanich, an entrepreneur who owns U.S. Nationwide Mortgage in Beaverton, is also a possible Republican candidate as is Doug Keller, a Naval Academy graduate who served for 20 years in the Navy. As soon as we have more information on these candidates, hopefully an endorsement can be made.

THE PRESIDENCY
I get all kind of letters, e-mail and calls asking me who social conservatives should back in the presidential race. The race is confusing at present and a lot is going on behind the scenes. Here is some inside information you will not read anywhere else:

There are evangelicals and then there are “insider” evangelicals. The insiders are the evangelicals with connections inside the Republican Party establishment and include many household names.  I do not not considered myself an “insider,” because I toss in the trash the talking points I get form the Republican Party headquarters. This is also why I am often not “on the same page” as other social conservative leaders, most of whom want Rick Perry at the top of the GOP ticket.

Right now virtually all of the evangelical “insiders” are either already working with or somehow associated with Governor Rick Perry in Texas. Some of my best friends have literally been working several days a week in Texas to help him get ready to run for president.

Here is their logic: Evangelical Michele Bachmann is “only” a congresswoman and probably too conservative to win. Evangelical Herman Cain has no political experience. Conservative Catholic Rick Santorum lost his last Senate bid in his home state. Converted Catholic Newt Gingrich has had a few too many wives. Ron Paul is a libertarian who would legalize drugs and prostitution, and the rest of the candidates are too liberal. The “insiders” believe they need an evangelical with a political background and a history of winning big, at least state wide. This is exactly how the evangelical “insiders” picked George W. Bush in 2010.

Will Rick Perry run? Yes. By the time you receive this update he may have already announced. As he travels from state to state you will see notable evangelical leaders standing with him. Governor Rick Perry is probably a good guy, but I have reservations that he may be just another career politician looking for his next promotion. I could be wrong; he may be a better version of President George W. Bush, but I want to hold off for a few months on making that call.

I know Michele Bachmann and in fact I have had lunch with her. She is real. I have met Herman Cain numerous times and held in depth conversations with him. He is real, but his lack of experience has caused him to shift positions and make enemies in the evangelical community. I have worked closely with Rick Santorum on projects when he was a Senator. He is solidly pro-life and will stand against radical Islam, but he is also horribly underfunded. As for Gingrich and Romney, I would not even consider backing either one. Gingrich has lost his touch and his campaign is sort of a joke. Romney is just an opportunist. Mitch Daniels and Jon Huntsman should probably not even be running as Republicans. As the race unfolds I will report honestly on the candidates.

             GING-PAC will be involved deeply in the 2012 election. Your help is appreciated.

House and Senate Pass Budget Control Act

In a 76-26 vote, the U.S. Senate passed the Budget Control Act and sent it to President Obama for his signature on August 2, 1011:

GINGPAC founder William J. Murray issued the following statement following the vote:
Voltaire: Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien. We are seeking a perfect solution to a situation that is beyond repair. At this point, if the government drastically reduces spending, the nation will spiral into depression. If the government continues to borrow at the current rate, the nation will go bankrupt. The “perfect” Tea Party solution crashes the economy. The “perfect” liberal solution crushes America under debt and drives away investment. Unfortunately, nothing in the middle works either as long as it is a collective government action of some sort. The only solution is the natural one, which involves decline and reconstruction. Regrettably, the rebirth of a nation economically can take decades.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, issued a similar statement. Jordan noted:

After months of debate, the House and Senate have reached a deal to raise the debt limit (read about the plan here).  In the end, I could not support the legislation.  While it contains cuts and caps, they should be much more robust.  Additionally, the framework of “triggers” and a new 12-member House-Senate committee opens the door to dangerous national security cuts and raises the possibility that six Democrats and one misguided Republican could rush tax increases to the House and Senate floors.

Most importantly, this deal is not a solution.  The Cut, Cap, and Balance Act remains the only plan that protects our AAA credit rating from the risk of a downgrade.

Our debt is a permanent, long-term problem, and it requires a permanent solution in the form of a Balanced Budget Amendment.  While the House and Senate will be required to vote on one this fall, there is no requirement that it pass and be sent to the states for ratification.  Unless we send a Balanced Budget Amendment to the states, however, promises to cut spending today can always disappear tomorrow.  (Watch our quick video on Washington Spending 101). 

Just a few weeks ago, the Balanced Budget Amendment wasn’t even a part of the conversation, despite the overwhelming support it has among the American public.  The growing momentum toward requiring Washington to actually balance its budget is encouraging, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

China's Deadly Utopia

William J Murray is the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition
William J. Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition along with several congressmen and Senators spoke at an event on Capitol Hill highlighting the persecution of the Falun Gong and other religious minorities in China. Many speakers dealt with the repressive nature of the Chinese Communist Party, but Murray dealt with the core problem of central planning that has been the sources of repression and misery for humanity since the beginning of the 20th Century. His remarks, “China: The Great Utopia” have since been requested by numerous news outlets and have already been televised worldwide. His remarks follow below:
As an introduction to his second chapter in The Road to Serfdom, Friedrich Hayek used a quote by Friedrich Holderlin to sum up collectivism: “What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven.”

There are those who see our greatest challenge as the conflict between communist ideology and the free market place or between fascism and democracy, but these are but aspects of the one conflict that humanity faces: reality versus utopianism. During the 20th Century, utopian dreams, unfortunately, became reality in the persons of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Adoph Hitler, and Moa Tse Tung. The result was the “state of hell” referred to by Holderlin. Governments seeking utopia on earth killed tens of millions of human beings in seventy some years of wars, gulags, starvation and mass killings.

While the utopia of Adolf Hitler’s “Thousand- Year Reich” ended in military defeat, and the Soviet “Workers’ Paradise” ended in humiliation for Russia, the dream of a centrally planned utopia lives on in China under the Chinese Communist Party. As in other centrally planned dictatorships, freedom is a casualty in China. Central planning of any kind requires silencing of critics and a control of the press and of speech to insure the continuation of “the plan.” For the level of control needed in China even the worship of God must be tightly directed. If not, “the plan” could perhaps be undermined, even destroyed by critical voices.

In China today there is only one political party, the party that is implementing “the plan” for the lives of the Chinese people. Unable to survive using the pure collectivist model of Karl Marx, the Communist Party has “evolved” to a National Socialism model similar to that of Adolph Hitler, using highly controlled free enterprise sectors to produce the tax base to continue its control.

There is no greater threat to that control than unregulated human faith, the faith represented by the Christian underground churches and the practitioners of Falun Gong. The Chinese Communist Party has used every kind of pressure against the Falun Gong including arrests, rapes, and murders and even forced abortions on Falun Gong women held in captivity. Utopianism requires a grand plan: A Germany without Jews, a Russia without the rich, a Cambodia without the educated, a Caliphate without Christians  —  or a China without Falun Gong or House Church  critics of the Communist Party’s “plan” for the Chinese people.

20th Century utopianism gave the world enough death and destruction to last humanity for 10,000 years. “The Plan” the Chinese Communist Party has for China will fail; it is inevitable. The day of that collapse will mark a new freedom for the repressed. It is the world’s responsibility to give the message to the Chinese communists that “the plan’ is an illusion and that freedom is inevitable regardless of their repression of their own people.

Campaign Update - July, 2011

LIBERAL MEDIA LIKES RINO JON HUNTSMAN
Big Journalism commentator Kevin Martin believes that the liberal media has a definite strategy figured out in pushing for Jon Huntsman to stay in the race to win the GOP nomination for President of the United States.

The strategy, notes Martin, is to push for Huntsman (an unpalatable candidate for conservatives) so that conservatives will either stay home or vote for a third party candidate. This effort will ensure an Obama re-election.

The mainstream media, says Martin, “will try to portray him as a Reaganesque figure. Unlike Reagan, Huntsman has evolving views on important social issues such as civil unions, man-made global warming, cap and trade and abortion rights that can appeal to voters across the board in the 21 Century. We will be inundated with puff pieces and push polls on his business experience and ability to work with our largest foreign debt holder China on issues of jobs and trade since he was Obama’s pick as Ambassador to China up until recently, which alone earns he has the experience to bring us out of the Great Recession.”

Martin concludes: “Conservatives must remain fully aware that the mainstream media and its pundits will encourage Democrats to crossover and try to ensure that Huntsman wins several open primary states in the early going to make him the perceived GOP front runner. Now with that said, conservatives must remain focused on the fact that our very nation is at stake and we must not allow the hi-jinks of the Main Stream Media and the Democrats to suppress or split our vote in 2012 with the unpalatable Jon Huntsman.”
RINO Huntsman is not only benefitting from the liberal media’s support of him, but he also has the support of his billionaire father who is working behind the scenes for him. Jon Huntsman, Sr. is a self-made billionaire, whose company invented the clamshell containers used by McDonald’s Big Macs.

GAYS LIKE HUNTSMAN AS WELL - I was just a little stunned when someone sent me a link to a story in Q Salt Lake. The Q stands for queer and it is a gay newspaper in Salt Lake City which has semi-endorsed Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. Rather than editorialize I will quote directly from the gay site, “While there are no official endorsements from any caucuses or groups within the Republican Party yet, the Utah Log Cabin Republicans (ULCR) worked with Huntsman when he was governor, and are ready and willing to work continue that relationship,”

Melvin Nimer, the president of ULCR, said. “Huntsman was the first governor of Utah to open up the governor’s mansion to the LGBT community,” Nimer said. “They [the Huntsman campaign team] have reached out to get some help from us and some people within the group are working with him.” Having read this glowing endorsement of Huntsman in the official “queer” site, needless to say GING-PAC will not be supporting Jon Huntsman for president. 

THE FLIP SIDE OF HUNTSMAN IS BACHMANN
Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is in second place as choice for President of the United States in 2012 in virtually every poll, just weeks after she announced her bid for the presidency. In a recent nationwide Rasmussen poll Bachmann was at 19% of likely GOP voters,  while Romney was at 33%. However, Romney has been running for the office for years and has many millions of dollars for advertising, whereas Bachmann had officially been in the race just days when those numbers came out. In addition Bachmann is in a dead-heat with Romney in Iowa at 22% to his 23%.  Bachmann has twice the percentage as the number three candidate, Herman Cain.

To firm up her social conservative base, Bachmann recently signed a marriage pledge that includes a statement that she will not allow sharia law to advance in the United States. A native of Iowa, she will be hard to beat there, and Romney may skip that state and concentrate on New Hampshire. GING-PAC has made no formal endorsements in the presidential race. However, GINGPAC has always endorsed and supported Michele Bachmann in her races for the House.

TODD AKIN FOR SENATE

Todd Akin for Senate
GING-PAC has supported Todd Akin since he first ran for Congress in Missouri. He is a godly man who has served as a Sunday school teacher for decades. His family has followed him in service to this nation. Akin was a commissioned officer in the Army. Two of his sons are in the military and a third is at the Naval Academy.  On several occasions during radio and TV interviews he has used the motto of this organization, saying that “government is not God.”
In discussing NBC “editing”  the words “under God” out of a story on the Pledge of Allegiance, Akin noted: “Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. And so they’ve had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country. These powerful words have liberals enraged.”

According to Akin, “This is a systematic effort to try to separate our faith and God, which is a source in our belief in individual liberties, from our country. And when you do that you tear the heart out of our country.”

Rep. Akin’s Communications Director Steve Taylor told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Akin was discussing the basic differences between conservatives and liberals on where rights come from. Liberals think rights come from government; conservatives believe rights come from God. The differences in beliefs, says Taylor, are the “defining principles of two political ideologies.”

Congressman Akin wrote the forward for my book, The Pledge: One Nation Under God which details the history of the Pledge of Allegiance. That book is still available at a reduced price at: www.PledgeUnderGodBook.com

GING-PAC has endorsed Todd Akin for the Senate seat now held by radical liberal and pro-abortion Claire McCaskill.

When you help GING-PAC elect men and women to Congress such as Todd Akin or Michele Bachmann, you are helping to steer America in the right direction. With your help, GING-PAC can make a difference in special elections as they occur. PLEASE DONATE NOW!
