(At the V. S. CONGRESS ROTUNDA. 3:00-7.00, DEC. -I)
This idea came from three members of Congress, and was put to a v ote in
both bodies According to Focus on the Family, there was not ONE

of this country who believe in God arc also asked to pray at their churches,

where our own strength, and that of our nation, comes from Along
with repenting of putting other THINGS, and other PEOPLE, ahead of
God. we are encouraged to ask for God 's continuing blessing upon our country

DA Y OF PRA YER FOR MUSLIMS (December 12)
(This idea was initiated by the Southern Baptist Church, but ALL
believers arc urged to participate.)
ANSWER TO PRAYER
Recently I asked for prayer for the two American women imprisoned in
Afghanistan Thankfully, they were rescued, and are now back home in this
country. They have thanked the millions of people who were praying for
them. They believe that their own prayers and the prayers of others are
largely responsible for their freedom They are convinced lhat'God was
right there, taking care of them at every turn! They also said that they do
NOT feel anger toward their Taliban captors. They must be true Christians.
to have such a strong faith, and a love for everyone, even their enemies!
PUTIN AND OUR PRESIDENT
I'M happy to report that my bout with "suicide feelings" a few weeks ago
did not last long. I'm now "back in (he saddle again" continuing to do
more research, to keep learning more about what's REALLY going on in
the world around us!
Before the September attacks. I had. FINALLY, just about decided to stop
making people MAD (the way 1 USED to get.) by try ing to tell them what I
believed to be the truth. INSTEAD. I decided. I might as well just let them
FIND OUT. sooner or later, for themselves!
I asked myself: "Why am I still knocking myself out (after 14 years) to
help keep this country free, when 1 might not even be AROUND by then, to
BENEFIT?" (Of course I'd love to be able to go BACK to believing that
all this stufT about a "communist conspiracy" was simply "manufactured"
by an ignorant right-wing group who had nothing better to do with their
time and energy!)
But I've gone TOO FAR in my SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH to turn back'
now! Too many thousands of hours (likely around 10.000 all together
reading or taking notes, cutting out clippings, working diligently TOWARD
the goal of getting them filed. AJLSO, SHARING what I've
discovered by talking with people. But. MOSTLY, by writing a hundred or
more articles, and letters to editors, in the hope that SOMEONE. SOMEWHERE
will actually take the time and trouble to do what I did NOT used
to do, and read a SMALL Portion of what 1 gradually became conv inced
was actually the "unvarnished truth!"
After working through what the traumatic events had done to the date of
my 74th birthday, and to me. I decided that THIS might be the time when
people would stop and pay attention to those of us who have, for years, been
issuing the warning that, if we want to keep the many freedoms we've
been taking for granted, we must, at the very least, all become VIGILANT.
as well as learning to think for ourselv es!
Some of the articles I'v e been working on are: The Case Against Profiling.
The Manipulators, and Putin and Our President. To get as much info
as possible 1 regularlv read US NEWS & WORLD REPORT. THE NEW
AMERICAN. WORLD PRESS REVIEW, AND AS MANY DAILY
NEWSPAPERS AS I CAN SQUEEZE into a busy assortment of daily
activities.
