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!

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
