Most people I know agree that we need to do something. Public responsibility! Trillions upon trillions in debt for our grandchildren. In my most humble opinion and in the work I do for children at risk, the paradigm shift in our communities will take the resolve of every human being to provide successful solutions that work at every level of our society for youth! It is on their back now. Our youth. I do cry out for them. Today, I witnessed hundreds rioting over expensive basketball shoes that glow in the dark ( I thought we were in a recession and where do kids get this kind of money anyway? Why should sports shoes be sold in the hundreds of dollars and who would pay over $2,000 on the black market? Most likely made in China for $10 on the backs of child slave trade. Instead of throwing billions away in government bailouts for the bridge to “nowhere,” we could use that money to give law enforcement tools needed to fight human trafficking of millions of innocent children, instead of millonaire politicians taking insider trading with straight faces; we could teach character courses to politicians in jail, instead of tax payer MILLIONS paid out to unscrupulous executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Corporate Boards we could use that money to find ways to help recruit strategic smart teachers from lost corporate jobs; instead of the millions in pay outs to top employees working for bankrupt Solyndra we could use that money to change the foster care system( BTW did you know that 95% of prisoners are from the foster care system?). Quite frankly, we could use every penny of wasted money to do something positive in our lands and beyond. How about charities that raise millions of dollars from good people and exactly for what? Where does the money really go? How do we wrap our brains around current headlines: Fatherless, divorce, sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol, lack of fair adoption laws, slave trade, binging, overloaded prisons, child porn, harvesting of body parts, crisis pregnancy, single parenting, street children, girls needing a father figure, boys trying to fill that void, hunger, sexing, education systems that are laughable, same sex everything for pleasure, (at least animals know exactly what nature intended), Hollywood and the internet glamorizing sex, pro choice mania screaming for the murder of children in untold, staggering numbers in the name of women’s “rights”(forget the desire to extend human rights to the most vulnerable of our HUMAN RACE). How about saving the pre-born? Let’s face it. It’s depressing. We are in deep trouble and experiencing culture changes at a pace the U.S.and world has never seen. So, however unintended, as society spins out of control, aren’t we intellectual enough, with the resolve to be tough enough to do something? You’re right…everyone is going to have to do their fair share at that round table and that means everyone. bottom up, top down.

OBAMACARE’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL COERCION
Andrew Napolitano: Mandate on Catholics is akin to compelling Jews to eat pork
When we were colonists and fought a war against the king and Parliament so that we could secede from the British Empire and be independent of it, we also fought for the value of personal freedom. That is the idea that in matters of personal choice, the government should play no role. The king only cared about the colonists’ personal choices if he could control or tax them.
One of the taxes he imposed was to support the Church of England. The Church of England that the colonists’ tax dollars supported was, of course, in England; it was not here. So, among the hateful taxes that impelled the colonists to revolt was this tax to support the king’s church.
When the Constitution was written, religious freedom was a principal matter for discussion and debate among the framers. They addressed this in the first clause of the First Amendment. Before the Constitution even protects the freedom of speech, it protects the natural right to worship or not to worship, free from the government. Here is what it says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. …”
That is very direct and clear. It was intended to prevent any tax money from going to a church, and it was intended to keep the government from using its coercive powers to influence or to punish religious institutions. For 125 years, most governments in America left churches alone.
Then along came the progressive attitude that some ethnic groups are superior to others. This is a damnable and racist view foisted upon the federal government by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, in direct response to the influx of southern European immigrants at the beginning of the last century, most of whom were Catholic. Roosevelt and Wilson and their progressive followers thought these immigrants had too many children, children who would grow up to be voters and vote out their nanny-state central-planning values. So they began to encourage birth control and sterilizations and even abortions.
The Catholic Church resisted this by its teachings on birth control. The Church had made its teaching on contraception a core part of its mission for 400 years, and Pope Paul VI reaffirmed these teachings in a permanent way in 1968. That the Church embraces these teachings is well-known, and equally as well-known is the policy of the federal government to resist them.
But that resistance reached unconstitutional proportions a few weeks ago when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, herself a Catholic, issued regulations that require all employers in America to provide health insurance that makes contraceptive materials and devices available to their employees. The “all employers” includes Catholic universities, Catholic hospitals, Catholic schools and even local Catholic churches. The failure to comply with this law will result in a fine to these institutions and the provision of contraceptive coverage to their employees by the government itself.
This is quite literally Congress making a law that interferes with the free exercise of religion. This is not about the morality of contraception. This is about the constitutionality of government coercion, coercion of religious institutions, coercion directly and profoundly prohibited by the Constitution itself. The motivation for the coercion – that Catholics have too many babies – is reprehensible, and those in government who embrace that and are willing to use the power of government to resist that should be voted out of office. But the coercion is the same as that faced by the folks who seceded from England because of the king’s tax to pay for his church.
We have a king today, and he wants a tax to pay for his church. The king is the president, and his church is called Obamacare. We can’t let this happen here. This is not just a Catholic issue. This is an issue about whether the Constitution means what it says. Does the Constitution let the government compel Jews to eat pork, or Protestants to genuflect, or Muslims to own dogs, or Catholics to pay for contraception? The answer is obvious.

Rivers Teske, Founder & President of Hidden Choices, Inc., believes that “no child should be left behind and that all are wanted by loving “forever adoptive families.” November Is National Adoption Month and at Hidden Choices we “salute those courageous birth mothers who choose life for their children and choose to place their babies in loving, adoptive homes.”
Hundreds of thousands of children each year need homes where they can be loved, protected and nurtured. Homes where they can grow to have purpose and dignity and a full life to give to others. Adoptees such as Steve Jobs, Faith Hill, Babe Ruth are three that did just that. There are over 1.5 million couples each year who try to have families.
Join Hidden Choices, Inc. today and countless other organizations in promoting the efforts and positive impact of adoption. It’s a win win for both children and families. Spread the Love….there is always enough to go around. Be a hero today!
