The left is beginning to push to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

The CRC leadership had a meeting with the White House.

 

They claim to have 60 willing votes and 13 undecided Senators.

 

A recent New York Times front page article inaccurately claimed that the US has not banned child soldiers, with the tag line: “we could accomplish this by ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.”

 

In the meantime, our effort to gain 34 votes against the treaty is making progress, but we have a long way to go.

 

Thanks to your calls, we currently have 22 co-sponsors of SR 519 which urges the rejection of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

Our friends in the Senate tell us that they believe that a greater number of Senators would get on board if there were a deadline accompanied by public pressure.

 

We have created such a deadline. In early August, we intend to run ads in local papers in the states of every Senator who is not a co-sponsor of SR 519. These ads will:

 

• Alert the public to the meaning of the CRC and the dangers it poses to our families and our nation;
• Let the public know that their Senator is “undecided” on the CRC;
• Ask the public to call their Senators to oppose the CRC.

These are large display ads and can cost between $2000 and $6000 depending on the circulation of the paper.

 If you are willing to help us fund one or more ads in your state, will you please help us with the most generous donation possible right now so that we can order these ads in time?


If you live in a state where both Senators are already co-sponsors of SR 519, would you still help us place ads in other states by making a general donation to this effort?


    

 

 

We want to run these ads in as many newspapers as we can, depending on the funding we receive from this appeal.

 

 

 

Micah 6:3-9

v3 - Oh my people, What have I done?  What have I done to make you tired of Me?

I almost skipped doing a quiet time today, why?  I thought "(insert idol here) is more important, I'll get to my quiet time in a minute" Some days that minute turns into an hours, and hours turn into a day - until at the end of the day when I lay down to sleep and I am finally quiet, I realize that I did not spend time with God.   Other days I do a quiet time out of obligation - and I don't even realize that I did not spend time with God, until much later.
I pray "Lord forgive me for resenting the requests that you place on my time" only to correct it and pray "Lord forgive my foolish, resentful, prideful heart - I never should have thought of it as 'my' time in the first place"

"4 For I brought you out of Egypt

and redeemed you from slavery.
I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.

5 Don’t you remember, my people,
how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed
and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?
And remember your journey from Acacia Grove[a] to Gilgal,
when I, the Lord, did everything I could
to teach you about my faithfulness.”

6 What can we bring to the Lord?
What kind of offerings should we give him?
Should we bow before God
with offerings of yearling calves?

7 Should we offer him thousands of rams
and ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Should we sacrifice our firstborn children
to pay for our sins?

8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
