    Fearful Churches Are Failing to Teach Americans Moral
Character, Pastor Says
By Beth Brelje
    April 1, 2023Updated: April 11, 2023
    A recent poll showing a decline in traditional American
values confirms what conservatives have been saying: The
character of America changing.
    The percentage of those polled who said patriotism is impor-
tant dropped to 38 percent today from 70 percent 25 years ago.
While 59 percent said having children was important 25
years ago, now just 30 percent do. And the importance of
religion dropped to 39 percent now from 62 percent calling it
important 25 years ago.
    The poll, released in March 2023, was conducted by the Nation-
al Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago and funded
by The Wall Street Journal.
    Those who are older understand what this country was and
how we’re devolving, said Rev. C.L. Bryant, a senior fellow at
FreedomWorks, a group that advocates for freedom and small govern-
ment.
    Churches are failing this country, he said in a speech at
the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, an annual gathering of
conservatives.
    He said Americans are slowly being enslaved and
that he aimed to encourage people to build a fire in their
hearts and restore the light of patriotism to the nation.
    “Americans, whether you know it or not, there are coun-
tries around this world who’ve always looked to us for leadership.
    For strength. For encouragement. But even now, on the
faces of Americans, the light of this world, they are beginning
to see fear. They are beginning to see us in a state where they
understand that we are being hoodwinked. We are being bamboozled.
And our children are being swindled out of their American heri-
tage,” Bryant said. “In too many cases, it is because the churches
in this country are failing the congregants. This faith-based
nation, like we have been even in our founding, is failing in what
our founders saw it could be for people of moral character.”
    For the first time in our nation’s history, he said, more than
65 percent of children from the ages of 7 to 17 have never been to
a church, synagogue, or mosque.
    Political Correctness
He chastised pastors for not preaching truth to their churches.
    “Pastors … because of political correctness, there are cer-
tain things that you are beginning to leave out of your sermons
on Sundays. And you’re leaving your congregants unclothed and
certainly exposed to the attack of political wolves in this
country,” said Bryant, a Christian.
    He spoke of Jesus being crucified over the politics of his
day.
    “[Jesus] took them head-on. He came and overturned tables.
He came with a righteous anger over how they were manipulated
and how they were duping God’s people. He came to set them
free,” Bryant said. “It cost Him His life. It cost Him a cruci-
fixion. And the American pastor today understands the story of
Christ, but they don’t understand the mission of setting the
captives free.”
    Many pastors and congregants are afraid of a sort of cruci-
fixion today, he said.
    Our nation is dying, he said, and it can die if we don’t
understand the nature of what the mission is.
    “With Easter Sunday coming, the day that we celebrate the
resurrection of our Lord, it is time for us to understand,
pastors and congregants … that without the crucifixion, without
them coming after you with sharp objects, without them trying
to tear you down, and the struggle—without the crucifixion,
there is no resurrection,” Bryant said. And my friends, the
resurrection of America is certainly necessary now. Because
there has been a purposeful destruction of our moral character.”
    Slaves Seek Comfort
Bryant spoke of the trap of accepting handouts from the govern-
ment. The slave doesn’t necessarily seek freedom, he said, but
rather, comfort.
    “The slave will trade his freedom for more food in his bowl
and for a roof that doesn’t leak over his head. The slave will
trade his freedom for a paycheck that comes without work,” he
said.
    “Americans, you are slowly being enslaved. It is time now
for you to wake up and understand that the tools of our des-
truction are truly working on our young people, because they
love free stuff, and they love your stuff. They want your
stuff, because they may never accumulate things, in the way it
is going, on their own. So that presents a certain peril for
all of us who have worked hard and experienced the American way
of prosperity and success. There is a generation coming behind
us and slowly being suffocated by the principles of big govern-
ment.”
    Bryant encouraged the crowd to not let anyone take from
them what they fought wars for.
    “My friends, it is time for you to stand up and push back,”
he said. “I want you to take account of what our fathers have
bought and paid for with blood. Take account of that. If we let
anyone—Democrat, Republican, whoever they are—take from us what
our fathers bought and paid for.
    Not without a fight.”
    And with that, the crowd stood in applause.**
    God willing and we survive the corruption.

	We've Been Going Downhill

	Men, like nations, think they're eternal. What man in his
20s or 30s doesn't believe, at least subconsciously, that he'll
live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer
beckons.
	As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality...
as you lose friends and relatives.
	Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd
century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain
to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever....
Forever was about 500 years, give or take.... not bad, but
gone!!
	France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now
the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of
the Muslim ummah. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the
sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in
perpetual twilight. Its 96-year-old sovereign is a fitting
symbol for a nation in terminal decline.
	In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world.
Business schools taught Japanese management techniques.
Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so
rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains
of elderly Japanese who die alone.
	I was born in 1950, the midpoint of the 20th century 
the American century. America's prestige and influence were
never greater. Thanks to the 'Greatest Generation,' we won a
World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia, and the
Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun
to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unpre-
cedented prosperity.
	We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia
and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies
and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built
skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and
now COVID. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the
wonders of DNA...the blueprint of life.
	But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has
moved from a relatively free economy to socialism - which
has worked so well NOWHERE in the world.
	We've gone from a republican government guided by a
constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less
freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming
reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere.
    We've traded the American Revolution for the Cultural
Revolution. The pathetic creature in the White House is an
empty vessel filled by his handlers At the G-7 Summit, 'Dr.
Jill' had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were
young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation
is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the
presidency.
	We can't defend our borders, our history (including monu-
ments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have
become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents,
mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in
the streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.
	The president of the United States can't even quote
the beginning of the Declaration of Independence ('You know
The Thing') correctly.
	Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that
5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and
we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets. Our
culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they're women.
People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one
race that they're inherently evil, and others that they are
perpetual victims A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she
fantasizes about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any
white person.' We slaughter the unborn in the name of free-
dom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our na-
tional debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend
that we will repay it one day. It's a $30-trillion monument
to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our
'entertainment' is sadistic, nihilistic, and as enduring as
a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise
that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.
	Patriotism is called an insurrection, treason cele-
brated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less
respect than a man in a dress. We're asking soldiers to
fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.
	How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the
regime of face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers)
shows the impending death of the American spirit.

   How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
   * Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win
   * Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to
repay
   * Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation
to be inundated by an alien horde
   * Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule
   * Allowing indoctrination of the young
   * Moving from a republican form of government to an
oligarchy
   * Losing national identity
   * Indulging indolence
   * Abandoning God, faith and family - the bulwarks of
any stable society.

 	In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced,
indicating an advanced stage of the disease.
	Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an
obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what
we had? I'm surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union
soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the bat-
tered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell
of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia
and came home to be reviled or neglected.
	This is the nation that took in my immigrant grand-
parents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore
in the Second World War. I don't want to imagine a world
without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.
	During Britain's darkest hour, when its professional
army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed
imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, 'Nations that
go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely
are finished.’
	The same might be said of causes. If we let America
slip through our fingers, if we lose without a fight, what
will posterity say of us?
	While the prognosis is far from good. Only God knows
if America's day in the sun is over.”

**Read it and weep, forward or erase it! I read it and am
now forwarding it to you, believing that we in America are
at the moment in time to stand up, or let it fall! We now
may soon beat the next step in our country's future. I
believe that it might be closer than we think.

	The end times may be closer than we think. Please pray.

	**Christian Patriot are Rare

	WSJ-NORC Poll: Americans Value Religion, Patriotism Less
      By Sandy Fitzgerald | 27 March 2023
	Traditional values such as religious faith, patriotism, having
children, and other priorities are becoming less important for
Americans, according to a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll.
	The one thing, though, that has grown in importance over the
past 25 years in such surveys is money, which was cited by 43% in
the new survey, up from 31% in 1998, reports The Wall Street
Journal.
	The poll, conducted with the nonpartisan research organization
NORC at the University of Chicago, further found the United States
is sharply divided according to political party about trends such
as the use of gender-neutral pronouns and racial diversity in
business.
	According to the survey conducted mostly online of 1,019 peo-
ple from March 1-13: 38% said patriotism is very important to
them, compared to when the Journal first asked the question in
1998 when 70% said patriotism was very important.
	39% said religion is very important, down from 62% in 1998.
	58% said tolerance for others was very important, compared
to four years ago when 80% said it is very important.
	23% of younger adults said having children is very important.
	"These differences are so dramatic, it paints a new and sur-
prising portrait of a changing America," pollster Bill McInturff,
who worked on a previous Journal survey with NBC News, commented.
"Perhaps the toll of our political division, COVID, and the low-
est economic confidence in decades is having a startling effect
on our core values."
	All age groups, including seniors, said they attach far less
importance to certain values than when they were asked in polls
in 1998 and 2019, but younger Americans tended to place low
importance:
	23% of adults under 30 said patriotism is very important
to them, compared with 59% of seniors 65 and older.
    31% of younger respondents said religion is very important,
compared with 55% of seniors.
    Meanwhile, just 21% of those surveyed said the United States
stands above all other countries, while half said the United
States is one of the greatest countries, and 27% said other
countries rank better.
	Jennifer Benz, vice president of public affairs and media
research at NORC, said that some of the views expressed may
have been affected by the polls' findings on pessimism con-
cerning the economy.
	"People are just sort of down on everything about the
country," Benz commented.
	Meanwhile, many answers on social issues varied, depending
on political party:
	Just over 50% of Republicans said society has gone too
far concerning businesses promoting racial and ethnic
diversity, compared to 7% of Democrats.
	61% of Democrats said diversity efforts have not gone far
enough, compared with 14% of Republicans.
	Three-quarters of Republicans polled said society has
gone too far in accepting transgender people, while 56% of
Democrats said society has not done enough.
	63% said that companies shouldn't take public stands on
social and political issues, while 36% of people said com-
panies should take stands. This included 80% of Republicans
who oppose companies taking a stand to 56% of Democrats
saying they agree with the idea.
	Half said they do not like being asked to use gender-
neutral pronouns, compared to 18% who were in favor. This
included 30% of people under the age of 35 favoring the
practice, compared to 9% of seniors.**

	To continue with the declines in America, we have seen
thousands of school boards, city councils, teachers unions,
and unions that insist upon continuing to try and corrupt
the minds of our children by putting books in libraries
that undermine the social education and the duties of the
parents when teaching or forcing them to be exposed to
sexual perversions and even acts that only parents should
permit.
	We have watched the Left undermine the laws that will
emphasize the need for patriotism and the history of America
that keeps the respect for our laws, our flag, and our
religious freedoms that people of all ages learn what this
country was built upon.
	We can't let progressive liberals destroy what so many
Americans have fought and died for so the youth of American
have a base to build loyalty and moral ethics on to keep us
strong.
	It is as difficult to be a God fearing Christian as it
is to be an American who is willing to fight to preserve
our nation.
	We need to take back our government and secure our bor-
ders to ensure our priorities are properly placed.
	Parenting is the biggest failure we have. If there is
no one teaching the children what is right and wrong, how
can we expect them to grow up as responsible leaders of
the future.
	God will heal our land but we ALL have to ask for His
blessings and grace before he will cleanse the world of
the rampant evil taking over.
	And ALL God's people said, "AMEN!"

    Biden Turns Christianity on Its Head
    Tyler O'Neil / March 15, 2023

	**This is disgusting. President Joe Biden calls it "close to
sinful" for Florida to protect children from experimental trans-
gender medical interventions.
	Gender ideology preys upon the young, convincing girls and
boys that they were born in the wrong body and rushing them
onto experimental drugs, hormones, and surgeries that will leave
them stunted, scarred, and infertile. Yet the ostensible Catholic 
who currently occupies the Oval Office not only supports this
horror but had the gall to condemn those who would protect
children from it as sinful and cruel.
	President Joe Biden slammed the Florida Health Department
efforts that prioritize counseling over medical transitions for
children, calling these efforts close to sinful and cruel.
The president emphasized the humanity of children who struggle
with an identity at odds with their biological sex, saying, They
love, they have feelings, they have inclinations as if to suggest
that the Florida Health Department considers these kids as
subhuman.
	Biden didn't address the horrific outcomes of transgender
medical interventions, which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis team
highlighted in a gruesome ”yet revealing ”video responding to
Biden. The president also didn't address the recent scandal in
St. Louis, Missouri, in which a pro-transgender whistleblower
claimed that a gender clinic rushed kids into medical transitions
on extremely flimsy grounds.
	Biden also didn't address Pope Francis statement Friday
”three days before Biden's remarks aired Sunday” that the ide-
ology of gender is one of the most dangerous ideological coloni-
zations, denying the richness¦ of men and women, and of all
humanity in the tension of the differences.
	Instead, Biden adopted religious language to advance a cause
directly opposite from the official teaching of the Roman Catho-
lic Church and from the witness of Scripture and Christian tra-
dition for the past 2,000 years. He adopted the moral authority
to declare sinful what Catholicism doesn't consider sinful, and
to advocate a teaching that contradicts Genesis 1:27, thus turn-
ing Christianity on its head.
	This moral inversion reminds me of a similar episode in my
own life. While in D.C. one summer, I attended a service at
Washington National Cathedral in which the priest preached
against the sin of heterosexism.
	Christians must live out compassion and we must remember
”as redeemed sinners ourselves” not to strut about as if we are
morally superior to those who struggle with different sins and
temptations. Yet the notion that heterosexism is a sin doesn't
just entail condemning an animus against people who struggle
with same-sex attraction. It also suggests that the moral en-
dorsement of heterosexual activity (in certain contexts) over
homosexual activity is itself a violation of God's law.
	In this short statement, the priest compared historic
Christian teaching on sexuality to racism and sexism. The priest
suggested that the doctrine of marriage as the union of male and
female for life ”which St. Paul describes as a mystery pre-
figuring the marriage of Christ and the church (Ephesians
5:31-33)” traces back to ignorant animus against gays, rather
than a fundamental truth of the universe. It is hard to fathom
the pride and disobedience of such a statement.
	Similarly, Biden's remarks defending experimental medical
interventions for children in the name of transgender identity
appear to signal a political weaponization of his religious
faith unmoored from its actual tenets. Only when the president's
Catholicism becomes a political tool can he wield it to advance
goals directly at odds with the basic tenets of his mother
church.
	Besides Francis condemnations of transgender ideology, the
Bible speaks to gender issues, condemning cross-dressing
(Deuteronomy 22:5, 1 Corinthians. 11:3-15) and teaching that
God created humans male and female.
	Both the Old Testament and the New Testament urge believers
to serve the orphan and the widow, and Jesus warns his disciples
about children, saying that whoever causes one of these little
ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to
have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drown-
ed in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:5-6).
	The Bible doesn't directly weigh in on many political issues,
but it strains credulity to imagine that Jesus approves of tel-
ling children the lie that they are really members of the oppo-
site sex and urging them to take experimental drugs with long-
term consequences to which they arguably cannot consent, setting
them on a path to removing perfectly healthy sex organs.
	It's hard to imagine anything more cruel than that.**

	We will ALL be judged by God in the end times and only he
knows what is or is not in Biden and Democrats hearts.
	I remember the DNC booed God 3 times at the 2012 convention
and those in charged realized what was happening so
they passed the proposal to add God to their platform and Since
that day I could not get past it.
	Joe invokes God but often never seems to walk the walk and
he too will be judged.
	I pray for his soul.

	I Keep Reading Nothing

	I read most all of the Opinion Letters, many from a VERY
liberal person that will remain unnamed but the problem I
noticed is I noticed is his many misguided accusations but
he seems to have his political parties mixed up.
	Years ago the Democratic Party was focused on conservative
values but it all changed in the 70s and earlier when they split
because of liberal values becoming the norm.
	He perceived that the 'Fake News" is being generated by the
Right. 
	Attempting to convince people by repeating false information
will NOT make it true but history tells us that that was one of
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals in his book followed closely by
Clinton and Obama. It's the blueprint on how to socialize a
nation. They used the media to flood America with their untruths.
	The problem the confused Democrat fails to do is give accu-
rate examples or any reference that was not part of the corrupt
media.
    Every reference he makes is actually another tidbit pushed
by the liberal medias crack force of uninformed shepherds to the
masses of lemmings that choose to follow them as if they had a
clue of the truth. Their sole purpose is to say whatever is
necessary to keep the leftist masses on the Democratic side of
the confusion and lies.
	A problem you seldom actually see is VERIFIABLE proof of
many things their media pushes and they've been caught so many
times that retractions have become a regular occurrence.
 	So, let's review some of the things that are actually
provable.
	The Democrats took control of both Houses of Congress in
2006 and proceeded to force banks to approve loans, that they
knew the people could not afford, and blamed it upon the Bush
administration. Using this as leverage to take the White House.
 	The promise of free stuff bought the votes needed to place
Obama in the White House.
	Free health care was passed with No Republican votes in the
dark of night. Many Democrats weren't even aware what was in the
bill. Thus the infamous words, "You have to pass it to find out
what is in it." Known as Obamacare turned out to be a disaster
costing Americans millions but the poor got their free stuff.
Designed to hook them into continuing to vote for the Left.
Another Rule.  It backfired...
	The Obama's years increased the debt by $10 trillion but
the wars in the Middle East have only totaled roughly $1 tril-
lion. What Americans would like to know is who got the other
$9 trillion. No one seems to want to talk about that along with:
	Benghazi's poor management mixed with lies to cover up the 
deaths.
	The Uranium One deal and the Russian involvement 
	The money gained by the Clinton Foundation and the timing
of it.
	DNC and the Clinton acquisition of the Trump dossier and
then tried to turn the Russian collusion back on Trump.
	The number of retractions that CNN, The Washington Post,
and other liberal publications have had to make.
	Mr. Progressive referenced a non-partisan Fox poll that
said 33% felt that Trump was honest but the key is I said
"non-partisan".
    If a Liberal poll source used the same parameters they
would either skew it or ignore it. 
	I would also challenge Mr. Misinformed to provide
VERIFIABLE PROOF of any of his accusations against Trump and
the Republicans. 
    He will not like what he finds but 'the truth might set
him free'.
	Keep this phrase in mind "It is ALL in the timing." And
it can ALL be found on the internet if you are willing to use
sources that are unbiased. There are good uses for the net if
you care enough to want the truth.
	Think about it and God Bless America. She really needs it
these days.

    Fuel Costs of Electric Vehicles Overtake Gas-Powered Cars:
    Study
    Allen Zhong
    January 29, 2023
    **In Q4 2022, typical mid-priced ICE (Internal Combustion
Engine) 
car drivers paid about $11.29 to fuel their vehicles for 100 miles
of driving. 
    That cost was around $0.31 cheaper than the amount paid by
mid-priced EV drivers charging mostly at home, and over $3 less
than the cost borne by comparable EV drivers charging commercially,
Anderson Economic Group (AEG) said in an analysis.
	However, luxury EVs still enjoy a cost advantage against their
gas-powered counterparts.
	It costs luxury EV owners $12.4 to drive every 100 miles on
average if they charge their cars mostly at home or $15.95 if they
charge their cars mostly at commercial charger stations in the 4th
quarter of 2022.
	Meanwhile, the fuel costs for luxury (gas guzzler) gas-powered
cars are $19.96 per 100 miles on average.
	AEG is a consulting firm based in Michigan that offers research
and consulting in economics, valuation, market analysis, and public
policy, according to the company's website.
	The fuel costs in the analysis are based on real-world U.S.
driving conditions including the cost of underlying energy, state
taxes charged for road maintenance, the cost of operating a pump
or charger, and the cost to drive to a fueling station, AEG said.
	Insurers List Crashed Low-Mileage Tesla on Auctions: Analysis
Insurance carriers are sending low-mileage Tesla Model Ys to sal-
vage auctions because they are too expensive to repair.
	Of more than 120 Model Ys that were totaled after collisions,
then listed at auction in December and early January, the vast
majority had fewer than 10,000 miles on the odometer, according to
a Reuters analysis based on online data from Copart and IAA, the
two largest salvage auction houses in the United States.
	Copart and IAA auction listings note whether the vehicles
were involved in front, rear, or side collisions, and typically
include after-crash photos of each vehicle. But the listings do
not disclose specific details on the type of damage suffered.
	Copart listings in some cases included the names of insur-
ance companies that had bought back crashed vehicles, then
listed them at auction. Those companies include State Farm,
Geico, Progressive, and Farmers. Geico is part of Warren Buffet
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
	All the Model Ys in the Reuters analysis were 2022 or 2023
models that were built at either the Fremont plant in Northern
California or the Austin, Texas, plant.
	Insurance companies typically total a vehicle ”which
means to scrap it and reimburse the owner” when the estimated
cost of repair is deemed too high.
	An Austin-built 2022 Model Y Long Range involved in a front
collision and listed by IAA in early January had a retail price
of $61,388 and an estimated repair cost of $50,388. The vehicle
owner was not listed.
	A second Austin-built Model Y, involved in a side collision
and listed by IAA, had a retail price of $72,667 and an estimated
repair cost of $43,814.**

	The costs mentioned continue to rise and the replacement
parts have skyrocketed.
	This past week Ford admitted they had lost $5 billion in
their EV program and expect to lose more. They are depending on
the American taxpayer to bail them out just like the recent
banking crisis that could end with 200 banks closing. Then try
to get your savings or money.
	Electric Vehicles are a joke and a waste of valuable assets
from people and the rare minerals from the Earth.
	Another admission is that producing the EV also releases
more carbon into the atmosphere than a gas powered vehicle.
	We have been conned beyond comprehension by those who keep
pushing the idea of climate change previously called global
warming.
	When are the gullible liberal progressive minded going to
do their research and use the facts rather than the corrupt
media to think for them?
	We all must pray that the liberal citizens that display
no patriotism, moral ethics, compassion, or love of their
fellow Americans find out how they are being manipulated.

	Election Reformers Get New Tools

	Election Reformers Get New Tool to Pressure States to
    Clean Up Voter Rolls
	By Steven Kovac
	Updated: March 7, 2023
	A new interactive website database is now available for free
to individual citizens and election reform groups across the
country to help in the fight to get all states to obey a federal
election law mandating regular voter roll maintenance.
	The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a national non-
profit law firm dedicated to election integrity, announced the
launch of the website on Feb. 27.
	The data provided on the website is designed to encourage
some defiant state election officials to comply with the National
Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
	We hope this interactive database will draw attention to
the hundreds of thousands of errors in the voter rolls. Every
error in the voter rolls is a vulnerability in our elections that
can lead to fraud and abuse. Election officials must do their job
and keep accurate voter rolls, PILF President J. Christian Adams 
said in a statement.
    According to the federal statute, state election officials 
must conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to
remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of 
eligible voters.

    Evidence of Nonfeasance
    As evidence that some state election officials have failed to
make a reasonable effort, the database spotlights more than 317,000
deceased people that continue to appear on the registration lists
of certain states.
    PILF researchers also found that 449,000 individuals are regis-
tered to vote in more than one state and discovered 54,000 same-
address duplicate voter registrations still on the books.
    Attorneys for PILF have had to file lawsuits against election
officials in Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Minnesota, and Michigan to force state election officials to do
their statutory duty to clean up the voter rolls.
    In 2021, PILF succeeded in getting election officials in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to agree to remove 20,000 dead people
from its voter rolls.
    In a screenshot from the DNCC's live stream of the 2020
virtual Democratic National Convention, Michigan Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson addresses those attending on Aug. 20, 2020. 
    Since November 2020, PILF has tried to encourage and assist
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, to remove
25,975 deceased individuals from the voter rolls of her state.
    Of these, 23,663 have been dead for five years or more, with
17,479 of them being dead for at least a decade, and 3,956 have
been deceased for at least 20 years.
    After a year of inaction, PILF filed a federal lawsuit to
force Benson to comply with NVRA.
    In response, Benson filed a motion to dismiss PILF's case.
    On Aug. 25, 2022, the United States Western District Court
of Michigan denied Benson's motion to dismiss.
    The court also denied the motions to intervene filed by the
Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans, the Detroit Downriver
Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and Rise, Inc.,
all liberal activist groups.
    The Michigan Secretary of States Office doesn't comment on
pending litigation.

    Presidential Citizens Award
    In an online statement, Adams called it remarkable that
after the data was shared with Benson, the dead registrants
remained on Michigan's voter rolls.
    It is astonishing that Secretary Benson is so vigorously
opposing effective list maintenance, he said.
    Adams said the ongoing lawsuit was the first step to reduc-
ing the opportunity for fraud in Michigan elections and ensur-
ing that dead people aren't receiving ballots.
    In January 2023, Benson traveled to the White House to be
presented with the Presidential Citizens Award by President
Joe Biden in honor of her service in the office and her courage
in standing up to election-denying protesters, Biden said.
    The award is America's second-highest civilian award given
to a citizen for exemplary deeds or services for his or her
country or fellow citizens.

    Sadly, this is not the first time a prestigious award was
given to a corrupt Democrat simple because of their political
party.
    We have an ex-President with a Nobel Prize because he was
black.
    A Supreme Court Justice that can't define what a woman is
but she was female and black.
    We have men competing in female sports because all the 
liberal progressives allow it. They don't care about the people
who elected them.
    We have a Senator who can't communicate with anyone without
a machine to transpond words spoken to him. But he is in the
hospital with another heart issue for weeks now.
    A gay Transportation Secretary that has spent more time
wasting American's tax money taking vacations, maternity leave,
and has yet to accomplish anything but he checked the Biden
blocks that are NEVER based on qualifications.
   There are still over 15 states that still have not purged
their voter rolls.
   Biden has not set the bar too high if he is basing those
he selects upon his personal capabilities.
   America as we used to know it no longer exists but we have
got to pray for God's intervention.

  Conservatively,
  John
