The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 is a foundational statute of US labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions. The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 449) 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 (also known as the Wagner Act after NY Senator Robert F. Wagner[1]) is a foundational statute of US labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions (also known as trade unions). The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.
The act was bitterly opposed by the Republican Party and business groups. The American Liberty League viewed the act as a threat to freedom and engaged in a campaign of opposition in order to repeal these "socialist" efforts. This included encouraging employers to refuse to comply with the NLRB and supporting the nationwide filing of injunctions to keep the NLRB from functioning. This campaign continued until the NLRA was found constitutional by the Supreme Court in National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation (1937).
Labor groups, while overwhelmingly supportive, expressed a set of reservations. The American Federation of Labor and some employers accused the NLRB of favoring the Congress of Industrial Organizations, particularly when determining whether to hold union elections in plant-wide, or wall-to-wall, units, which the CIO usually sought, or to hold separate elections in separate craft units, which the craft unions in the AFL favored. While the NLRB initially favored plant-wide units, which tacitly favored the CIO's industrial unionism, it retreated to a compromise position several years later under pressure from Congress that allowed craft unions to seek separate representation of smaller groups of workers at the same time that another union was seeking a wall-to-wall unit.
Employers and their allies in Congress also criticized the NLRA for its expansive definition of "employee" and for allowing supervisors and plant guards to form unions, sometimes affiliated with the unions that represented the employees whom they were supposed to supervise or police. Many accused the NLRB of a general pro-union and anti-employer bias, pointing to the Board's controversial decisions in such areas as employer free speech and "mixed motive" cases, in which the NLRB held that an employer violated the Act by using misconduct that ordinarily would not result in termination to fire an employee who was engaged in pro-union activity. In addition, employers campaigned over the years to outlaw a number of union practices such as closed shops, secondary boycotts, jurisdictional strikes, mass picketing, strikes in violation of contractual no-strike clauses, pension and health and welfare plans sponsored by unions and multi-employer bargaining.
Many of these criticisms included provisions that employers and their allies were unable to have included in the NLRA. Others developed in reaction to NLRB decisions. Over all, they wanted the NLRB to be neutral as to bargaining power, but the NLRA's policy section takes a decidedly pro-employee position:
It is declared to be the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self- organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.
Some of these changes were later achieved in the 1947 amendments.

Introduction by Anne Lyons, Assist Director General at the National Archives of Australia
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the National Archives of Australia. My name is Anne Lyons and I'm the Assistant Director General here at the National Archives. Firstly I'd like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today. It's my pleasure to welcome Kate Lundy, Senator for the Australian Capital Territory and member of the National Archives Advisory Council to deliver today's Speaker's Corner "Creating a new Nation's Capital". Senator Lundy has represented the Australian Capital Territory in the Australian Federal Parliament as a member of the Australian Labor Party since 1996. She's held many portfolios in opposition, including Information Technology, Manufacturing, Consumer Affairs, Local Government, Sport and Health Promotion. Elected for the 5th time as part of the Rudd Labor Government, Senator Lundy is currently the chair of the Joint Standing Committee for the National Capital and External Territories, and is a long standing active member of the Senate Environment, Communications and Arts Committee.
Senator Lundy's passion for Canberra is reflected in her interest in the National Capital plan's origins, and it's ongoing relevance to a vibrant 21st century national capital for all Australian's to share and enjoy.
Being an enthusiastic rower, Senator Lundy has the opportunity to regularly enjoy Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding inspiring landscape design, and the remarkable geometry that makes - by virtue of the Griffin Plan - Canberra itself a work of art. Today we're delighted that Senator Lundy's presenting a personal perspective on Canberra's design. She'll focus on the creation of the nation's capital, with reference to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin: their background and influences, their roots in Chicago, and the implications of these international links.
To complement this lecture we're delighted to have on display a selection of the Griffin's original renderings. The items are a treasured part of the National Archives collection, and we're especially thrilled to be able to present a rare viewing of the largest of these plans. The triptych of the view from Mount Ainslie. I encourage you to view them after the presentation if you haven't already done so, and after the presentation we'll direct you down to where those drawings are.
So without any further words from me, I'd like to introduce Senator Kate Lundy.
Transcript of Senator Lundy's speech
Creating a New Nation’s Capital
Musings on Canberra’s design origins
Senator Kate Lundy
20 September 2009
I want to begin my presentation today … in New York, 2009. The Guggenheim Museum has, for many months, been host to a remarkable retrospective exhibition in honour of the architect: Frank Lloyd Wright.
I had the privilege to view this exhibition whilst on a family holiday early in the northern hemisphere summer and it inspired me to explore further the relationship between the famous, if not notorious, American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, and his contemporary, the renowned, certainly in this city the renowned, Walter Burley Griffin.
What I saw at this exhibition were vast renderings of future cities envisaged but never built– and they all impacted with a real feeling of familiarity, of recognition of century-old, lofty ideals expressed through these imposing works of art and their accompanying interpretations. Why? Because there, in the middle of the museum mile in New York City, I was seeing and hearing a version, an interpretation of the ideas that sit at the heart of Canberra. The forces which inspired the Griffins to produce their visionary design of Canberra were also an inspiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, with his ‘living city’, or so-called ‘broadacre city’: Wright’s city in the landscape.
This wonderful New York moment got me thinking, speculating on the nature of the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin and his life partner, Marion Mahony-- and how it was that we were living the vision, seemingly expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright later in his career, right here in our national capital in Australia. But in this room, we all know that the Griffin design came WELL BEFORE the Wright designs I was looking at in the Guggenheim. Indeed, the Griffins produced their masterwork heaps before the world knew anything much at all about Wright.
So my journey was one of delving into the source of this inspiration that, by circumstance and serendipity, meant that I found myself gazing at stylish renderings of Wright’s vision for an organic Baghdad at one with the landscape – his “broadacre city” – but I felt I was seeing a blood relation of Canberra!

Paul, Bond-Slave to the King!
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul designates his highest office as bond-servant (doulos). He puts that before his office as apostle.
Paul calls himself a bond slave of Christ Jesus. The case classification is genitive of possession. The apostle is proud of the fact that he is a slave belonging to his Lord. There were certain individuals in the Roman empire designated "Slaves of the Emperor." This was a position of honor. One finds a reflection of this in Paul's act of designating himself as a slave of the King of kings. He puts this ahead of his apostleship.
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)
We are not our own, and Paul was proud of that fact. Instead of seeing Christianity as a system of do's and don'ts, he saw it as the privilege of privileges. His was a position of honor.
Who you are in life is largely a result of how you see yourself. We tend to value our life on the basis of our job, our possessions, our influence, our friends, our activities. Paul saw his value by Whose he was. He was a servant of the King of Kings. Who are you? When you lay in bed at night, do you fret about your health, the things you need to do, the things you didn't do? If you are a slave of the King of Kings, you have no rights over tomorrow, over your body, over your job. He has total control. There is no need to fret, no need to worry, no need to be concerned. Only the need to praise Him, draw closer to Him, wait patiently upon Him.
He was a slave first, an apostle second.
The adjective comes from the verb kaleō, "to call" in the sense here of "to call to assume an office." Paul was a called apostle in the sense that God summoned him to that position and placed him in it
Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle.
Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas.
What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified?
Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God!
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV)
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV)
Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life.
But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting. Yes, Paul was made to realize that he had not only been maiming and murdering 'Christians', but he had been doing the same to the very Son of God, the Messiah whom he professed to love so much.
We can't begin to fathom what the Holy Spirit was doing in those three days after his experience on the road to Damascus. But whatever it was, when Saul gave his life to Jesus Christ, he was changed completely. He was a new man, he was set apart no longer to just Jehovah. He was set apart into the GOSPEL of GOD! (ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ (aphōrismenos eis euangelion Theo).
Set Apart Into the Gospel
aphōrismenos (aphorizmo)
He was set apart into the Gospel, because the set apart is the word aphoridzo which pictures marking an area with boundaries, with a wall or fence.
So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous Matthew 13:49 (ESV)
The Gospel of God is a natural divider of man. It will be the divider in the end times. People, you can either believe God or you can chose not to.

Industrial relations
Industrial relations is a multidisciplinary field that studies the employment relationship. Industrial relations is increasingly being called employment relations or employee relations because of the importance of non-industrial employment relationships; this move is sometimes seen as further broadening of the human resource management trend. Indeed, some authors now define human resource management as synonymous with employee relations. Other authors see employee relations as dealing only with non-unionized workers, whereas labor relations is seen as dealing with unionized workers. Industrial relations studies examine various employment situations, not just ones with a unionized workforce. However, according to Bruce E. Kaufman "To a large degree, most scholars regard trade unionism, collective bargaining and labor-management relations, and the national labor policy and labor law within which they are embedded, as the core subjects of the field."
Initiated in the United States at end of the 19th century, it took off as a field in conjunction with the New Deal. However, it is generally a separate field of study only in English-speaking countries, having no direct equivalent in continental Europe. In recent times, industrial relations has been in decline as a field, in correlation with the decline in importance of trade unions, and also with the increasing preference of business schools for the human resource management paradigm.

National Labor Relations Act
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 449) 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 (also known as the Wagner Act after New York Senator Robert F. Wagner) is a foundational statute of United States labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions (also known as trade unions). The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.
Background
President Franklin Roosevelt signed the legislation into law on July 5, 1935.
It also has its roots in a variety of different labor acts previously enacted:

Please find the original blog post with additional information at http://www.katelundy.com.au/2009/09/25/creating-a-new-nations-capital-the-griffins-vision-for-canberra/ Introduction by Anne Lyons, Assist Director General at the National Archives of Australia Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the National Archives of Australia. My name is Anne Lyons and I'm the Assistant Director General here at the National Archives. Firstly I'd like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today. It's my pleasure to welcome Kate Lundy, Senator for the Australian Capital Territory and member of the National Archives Advisory Council to deliver today's Speaker's Corner "Creating a new Nation's Capital". Senator Lundy has represented the Australian Capital Territory in the Australian Federal Parliament as a member of the Australian Labor Party since 1996. She's held many portfolios in opposition, including Information Technology, Manufacturing, Consumer Affairs, Local Government, Sport and Health Promotion. Elected for the 5th time as part of the Rudd Labor Government, Senator Lundy is currently the chair of the Joint Standing Committee for the National Capital and External Territories, and is a long standing active member of the Senate Environment, Communications and Arts Committee. Senator Lundy's passion for Canberra is reflected in her interest in the National Capital plan's origins, and it's ongoing relevance to a vibrant 21st century national capital for all Australian's to share and enjoy. Being an enthusiastic rower, Senator Lundy has the opportunity to regularly enjoy Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding inspiring landscape design, and the remarkable geometry that makes - by virtue of the Griffin Plan - Canberra itself a work of art. Today we're delighted that Senator Lundy's presenting a personal perspective on Canberra's design. She'll focus on the creation of the nation's capital, with reference to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin: their background and influences, their roots in Chicago, and the implications of these international links. To complement this lecture we're delighted to have on display a selection of the Griffin's original renderings. The items are a treasured part of the National Archives collection, and we're especially thrilled to be able to present a rare viewing of the largest of these plans. The triptych of the view from Mount Ainslie. I encourage you to view them after the presentation if you haven't already done so, and after the presentation we'll direct you down to where those drawings are. So without any further words from me, I'd like to introduce Senator Kate Lundy. Transcript of Senator Lundy's speech Creating a New Nation’s Capital Musings on Canberra’s design origins Senator Kate Lundy 20 September 2009 I want to begin my presentation today … in New York, 2009. The Guggenheim Museum has, for many months, been host to a remarkable retrospective exhibition in honour of the architect: Frank Lloyd Wright. I had the privilege to view this exhibition whilst on a family holiday early in the northern hemisphere summer and it inspired me to explore further the relationship between the famous, if not notorious, American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, and his contemporary, the renowned, certainly in this city the renowned, Walter Burley Griffin. What I saw at this exhibition were vast renderings of future cities envisaged but never built– and they all impacted with a real feeling of familiarity, of recognition of century-old, lofty ideals expressed through these imposing works of art and their accompanying interpretations. Why? Because there, in the middle of the museum mile in New York City, I was seeing and hearing a version, an interpretation of the ideas that sit at the heart of Canberra. The forces which inspired the Griffins to produce their visionary design of Canberra were also an inspiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, with his ‘living city’, or so-called ‘broadacre city’: Wright’s city in the landscape. This wonderful New York moment got me thinking, speculating on the nature of the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin and his life partner, Marion Mahony-- and how it was that we were living the vision, seemingly expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright later in his career, right here in our national capital in Australia. But in this room, we all know that the Griffin design came WELL BEFORE the Wright designs I was looking at in the Guggenheim. Indeed, the Griffins produced their masterwork heaps before the world knew anything much at all about Wright. So my journey was one of delving into the source of this inspiration that, by circumstance and serendipity, meant that I found myself gazing at stylish renderings of Wright’s vision for an organic Baghdad at one with the landscape – his “broadacre city” – but I felt I was seeing a blood relation of Canberra!

57:05Journey Through the Cross: #2 The Power of God
Journey Through the Cross: #2 The Power of GodJourney Through the Cross: #2 The Power of God
Paul, Bond-Slave to the King! Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul designates his highest office as bond-servant (doulos). He puts that before his office as apostle. Paul calls himself a bond slave of Christ Jesus. The case classification is genitive of possession. The apostle is proud of the fact that he is a slave belonging to his Lord. There were certain individuals in the Roman empire designated "Slaves of the Emperor." This was a position of honor. One finds a reflection of this in Paul's act of designating himself as a slave of the King of kings. He puts this ahead of his apostleship. You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV) We are not our own, and Paul was proud of that fact. Instead of seeing Christianity as a system of do's and don'ts, he saw it as the privilege of privileges. His was a position of honor. Who you are in life is largely a result of how you see yourself. We tend to value our life on the basis of our job, our possessions, our influence, our friends, our activities. Paul saw his value by Whose he was. He was a servant of the King of Kings. Who are you? When you lay in bed at night, do you fret about your health, the things you need to do, the things you didn't do? If you are a slave of the King of Kings, you have no rights over tomorrow, over your body, over your job. He has total control. There is no need to fret, no need to worry, no need to be concerned. Only the need to praise Him, draw closer to Him, wait patiently upon Him. He was a slave first, an apostle second. The adjective comes from the verb kaleō, "to call" in the sense here of "to call to assume an office." Paul was a called apostle in the sense that God summoned him to that position and placed him in it Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle. Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas. What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified? Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God! But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV) But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV) Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life. But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting. Yes, Paul was made to realize that he had not only been maiming and murdering 'Christians', but he had been doing the same to the very Son of God, the Messiah whom he professed to love so much. We can't begin to fathom what the Holy Spirit was doing in those three days after his experience on the road to Damascus. But whatever it was, when Saul gave his life to Jesus Christ, he was changed completely. He was a new man, he was set apart no longer to just Jehovah. He was set apart into the GOSPEL of GOD! (ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ (aphōrismenos eis euangelion Theo). Set Apart Into the Gospel aphōrismenos (aphorizmo) He was set apart into the Gospel, because the set apart is the word aphoridzo which pictures marking an area with boundaries, with a wall or fence. So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous Matthew 13:49 (ESV) The Gospel of God is a natural divider of man. It will be the divider in the end times. People, you can either believe God or you can chose not to. -
1:29:55Aspartame - Sweet Misery A Poisoned World
Aspartame - Sweet Misery A Poisoned WorldAspartame - Sweet Misery A Poisoned World
Just like fluoridated water, aspartame is literally a poison in almost ALL of our food. Aspartame causes seizures, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Grave's disease. In 1970, scientists fed milk with aspartame to 7 monkeys to study the effects. The final results: starting after 218 days - 5 monkeys had grand mal seizures and 1 died. IT'S IN ALMOST ALL OF OUR FOOD! Ever heard of Equal, NutraSweet, Creatine, or Canderel? Aspartame is a commercially produced artificial sweetner (sugar substitute) made from: * 50% phenylalanine (an essential amino acid) * 40% aspartic acid (a nonessential amino acid) * 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol, becomes formaldehyde at 85°F). Please note that even G.D. Searle (the original manufacturer of aspartame) admitted that aspartame could not be used for everything. Even the FDA mentioned you could not use it to bake because it breaks down. Yet they approved it in dry products to begin with and when you put Equal in such things as hot coffee you just heated it. Then in 1993 they approved it for baking against their own instructions. In 1996 Dr. David Kessler granted blanket approval for it to be used in everything. How did they do it? Dr. Kessler said if the complaints went down they could do it. So the FDA stopped taking complaints and many people called and asked why they would not take the complaint. History of Monsanto's Saccharine & Aspartame 1901: Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri by John Francis Queeny, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. Queeny funded the start-up with capital from Coca-Cola (saccharin). Founder John Francis Queeny named Monsanto Chemical Works after his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. Queeny's father in law was Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto, wealthy financier of a sugar company active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies. 1902: The company manufactures its first product, the artificial sweetener Saccharin, which Monsanto sold to the Coca-Cola Company. The U.S. government later files suit over the safety of Saccharin - but loses. 1905: John Queeny's company was also producing caffeine and vanillin and was beginning to turn a profit. 1919: Monsanto established its presence in Europe by entering into a partnership with Graesser's Chemical Works at Cefn Mawr near Ruabon, Wales to produce vanillin, salicylic acid, aspirin and later rubber. 1967: Searle began the safety tests on aspartame that were necessary for applying for FDA approval of food additives. Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, conducts aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the Searle Company. Of the 7 monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, 1 monkey DIED and 5 other monkeys had grand mal seizures. 1970: Cyclamate (the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener) is pulled off the market in November after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame. December 18, 1970: Searle Company executives lay out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy" that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying Yes." 1971: Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate MSG was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study. 1973: After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety. One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that "the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame". She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed. 1974: Attorney Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives in May to discuss Dr. Olney's 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice. Monsanto Pirates1974: The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods on July 26. 1974: Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame's approval in August. 1976: Monsanto produces Cycle-Safe, the world's first plastic soft-drink bottle. The bottle, suspected of posing a cancer risk, is banned the following year by the Food and -

What we DIDN't see... the good stuff hit the cutting room floor so they could EMPHASIZE "the color of one's skin" which is NO where to be found in the Bill. www.kslegislature.org/li/b2011_12/year1/measures/hb2372/ Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372 Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372; Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee, We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration. The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate. I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone. The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions. Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law. Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant. Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America. The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.

Persevering to a Sacred History
Fourth Sermon in our "Sacred Marriage" series based upon the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas While at Baptist Bible College it was common to have conversations with a friend about some gal that had captured their heart and now they were considering asker her to marry them. My standard reply was to imagine falling into a dark bottomless pit and all the way down you could see the words flashing in neon "Forever Forever Forever" It was a not so subtle reference to the bottomless pit that Satan will be cast into one day. There would be an occasional chuckle, or nervous laugh, but the truth was in our minds that marriage was a serious undertaking that impacted the rest of your life.

“I believe that we are having a dialogue” is a dance performance that emphasizes on the simple yet complex notion of being together. We are together on stage – moving and speaking - creating a space where possible moments of togetherness can be experienced. The feeling of togetherness is a fugitive phenomena that constantly needs to be re-negotiated and re-experienced in order to exist. In our performance we are consciously letting this negotiation be visible, as it involves our agreements and virtues as well as our misunderstandings and shortcomings. Can you feel what I feel? When do we actually experience togetherness? The piece was developed during a period of 4 months living apart in summer 2011 and 9 weeks of non-stop togetherness in winter 2011-2012, while working in residence at ...

Seems her parents have been living together the last 20 years or so and never got married. Now they are thinking about making it legal and are looking into having a quaint church wedding. She said that because I was the priest they would want me to do the wedding. I corrected her of course, but I said that as Pastor I take marriage very seriously. For Your Information I have four prerequisites that must be met before I will bless the marriage of a man and woman. 1.The couple must believe that marriage is a Covenant Vow before God 2.They must not be living together 3.They must go through premarital counseling before I agree to marry them. 4.They must have the bless...

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 is a foundational statute of US labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions. The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 449) 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 (also known as the Wagner Act after NY Senator Robert F. Wagner[1]) is a foundational statute of US labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions (also known as trade unions). The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.
The act was bitterly opposed by the Republican Party and business groups. The American Liberty League viewed the act as a threat to freedom and engaged in a campaign of opposition in order to repeal these "socialist" efforts. This included encouraging employers to refuse to comply with the NLRB and supporting the nationwide filing of injunctions to keep the NLRB from functioning. This campaign continued until the NLRA was found constitutional by the Supreme Court in National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation (1937).
Labor groups, while overwhelmingly supportive, expressed a set of reservations. The American Federation of Labor and some employers accused the NLRB of favoring the Congress of Industrial Organizations, particularly when determining whether to hold union elections in plant-wide, or wall-to-wall, units, which the CIO usually sought, or to hold separate elections in separate craft units, which the craft unions in the AFL favored. While the NLRB initially favored plant-wide units, which tacitly favored the CIO's industrial unionism, it retreated to a compromise position several years later under pressure from Congress that allowed craft unions to seek separate representation of smaller groups of workers at the same time that another union was seeking a wall-to-wall unit.
Employers and their allies in Congress also criticized the NLRA for its expansive definition of "employee" and for allowing supervisors and plant guards to form unions, sometimes affiliated with the unions that represented the employees whom they were supposed to supervise or police. Many accused the NLRB of a general pro-union and anti-employer bias, pointing to the Board's controversial decisions in such areas as employer free speech and "mixed motive" cases, in which the NLRB held that an employer violated the Act by using misconduct that ordinarily would not result in termination to fire an employee who was engaged in pro-union activity. In addition, employers campaigned over the years to outlaw a number of union practices such as closed shops, secondary boycotts, jurisdictional strikes, mass picketing, strikes in violation of contractual no-strike clauses, pension and health and welfare plans sponsored by unions and multi-employer bargaining.
Many of these criticisms included provisions that employers and their allies were unable to have included in the NLRA. Others developed in reaction to NLRB decisions. Over all, they wanted the NLRB to be neutral as to bargaining power, but the NLRA's policy section takes a decidedly pro-employee position:
It is declared to be the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self- organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.
Some of these changes were later achieved in the 1947 amendments.

Introduction by Anne Lyons, Assist Director General at the National Archives of Australia
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the National Archives of Australia. My name is Anne Lyons and I'm the Assistant Director General here at the National Archives. Firstly I'd like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today. It's my pleasure to welcome Kate Lundy, Senator for the Australian Capital Territory and member of the National Archives Advisory Council to deliver today's Speaker's Corner "Creating a new Nation's Capital". Senator Lundy has represented the Australian Capital Territory in the Australian Federal Parliament as a member of the Australian Labor Party since 1996. She's held many portfolios in opposition, including Information Technology, Manufacturing, Consumer Affairs, Local Government, Sport and Health Promotion. Elected for the 5th time as part of the Rudd Labor Government, Senator Lundy is currently the chair of the Joint Standing Committee for the National Capital and External Territories, and is a long standing active member of the Senate Environment, Communications and Arts Committee.
Senator Lundy's passion for Canberra is reflected in her interest in the National Capital plan's origins, and it's ongoing relevance to a vibrant 21st century national capital for all Australian's to share and enjoy.
Being an enthusiastic rower, Senator Lundy has the opportunity to regularly enjoy Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding inspiring landscape design, and the remarkable geometry that makes - by virtue of the Griffin Plan - Canberra itself a work of art. Today we're delighted that Senator Lundy's presenting a personal perspective on Canberra's design. She'll focus on the creation of the nation's capital, with reference to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin: their background and influences, their roots in Chicago, and the implications of these international links.
To complement this lecture we're delighted to have on display a selection of the Griffin's original renderings. The items are a treasured part of the National Archives collection, and we're especially thrilled to be able to present a rare viewing of the largest of these plans. The triptych of the view from Mount Ainslie. I encourage you to view them after the presentation if you haven't already done so, and after the presentation we'll direct you down to where those drawings are.
So without any further words from me, I'd like to introduce Senator Kate Lundy.

Creating a New Nation’s Capital
Musings on Canberra’s design origins
Senator Kate Lundy
20 September 2009
I want to begin my presentation today … in New York, 2009. The Guggenheim Museum has, for many months, been host to a remarkable retrospective exhibition in honour of the architect: Frank Lloyd Wright.
I had the privilege to view this exhibition whilst on a family holiday early in the northern hemisphere summer and it inspired me to explore further the relationship between the famous, if not notorious, American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, and his contemporary, the renowned, certainly in this city the renowned, Walter Burley Griffin.
What I saw at this exhibition were vast renderings of future cities envisaged but never built– and they all impacted with a real feeling of familiarity, of recognition of century-old, lofty ideals expressed through these imposing works of art and their accompanying interpretations. Why? Because there, in the middle of the museum mile in New York City, I was seeing and hearing a version, an interpretation of the ideas that sit at the heart of Canberra. The forces which inspired the Griffins to produce their visionary design of Canberra were also an inspiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, with his ‘living city’, or so-called ‘broadacre city’: Wright’s city in the landscape.
This wonderful New York moment got me thinking, speculating on the nature of the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin and his life partner, Marion Mahony-- and how it was that we were living the vision, seemingly expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright later in his career, right here in our national capital in Australia. But in this room, we all know that the Griffin design came WELL BEFORE the Wright designs I was looking at in the Guggenheim. Indeed, the Griffins produced their masterwork heaps before the world knew anything much at all about Wright.
So my journey was one of delving into the source of this inspiration that, by circumstance and serendipity, meant that I found myself gazing at stylish renderings of Wright’s vision for an organic Baghdad at one with the landscape – his “broadacre city” – but I felt I was seeing a blood relation of Canberra!

Paul, Bond-Slave to the King!
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul designates his highest office as bond-servant (doulos). He puts that before his office as apostle.
Paul calls himself a bond slave of Christ Jesus. The case classification is genitive of possession. The apostle is proud of the fact that he is a slave belonging to his Lord. There were certain individuals in the Roman empire designated "Slaves of the Emperor." This was a position of honor. One finds a reflection of this in Paul's act of designating himself as a slave of the King of kings. He puts this ahead of his apostleship.
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)
We are not our own, and Paul was proud of that fact. Instead of seeing Christianity as a system of do's and don'ts, he saw it as the privilege of privileges. His was a position of honor.
Who you are in life is largely a result of how you see yourself. We tend to value our life on the basis of our job, our possessions, our influence, our friends, our activities. Paul saw his value by Whose he was. He was a servant of the King of Kings. Who are you? When you lay in bed at night, do you fret about your health, the things you need to do, the things you didn't do? If you are a slave of the King of Kings, you have no rights over tomorrow, over your body, over your job. He has total control. There is no need to fret, no need to worry, no need to be concerned. Only the need to praise Him, draw closer to Him, wait patiently upon Him.
He was a slave first, an apostle second.
The adjective comes from the verb kaleō, "to call" in the sense here of "to call to assume an office." Paul was a called apostle in the sense that God summoned him to that position and placed him in it
Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle.
Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas.
What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified?
Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God!
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV)
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV)
Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life.
But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting. Yes, Paul was made to realize that he had not only been maiming and murdering 'Christians', but he had been doing the same to the very Son of God, the Messiah whom he professed to love so much.
We can't begin to fathom what the Holy Spirit was doing in those three days after his experience on the road to Damascus. But whatever it was, when Saul gave his life to Jesus Christ, he was changed completely. He was a new man, he was set apart no longer to just Jehovah. He was set apart into the GOSPEL of GOD! (ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ (aphōrismenos eis euangelion Theo).
Set Apart Into the Gospel
aphōrismenos (aphorizmo)
He was set apart into the Gospel, because the set apart is the word aphoridzo which pictures marking an area with boundaries, with a wall or fence.
So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous Matthew 13:49 (ESV)
The Gospel of God is a natural divider of man. It will be the divider in the end times. People, you can either believe God or you can chose not to.

Paul, Bond-Slave to the King!
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul designates his highest office as bond-servant (doulos). He puts that before his office as apostle.
Paul calls himself a bond slave of Christ Jesus. The case classification is genitive of possession. The apostle is proud of the fact that he is a slave belonging to his Lord. There were certain individuals in the Roman empire designated "Slaves of the Emperor." This was a position of honor. One finds a reflection of this in Paul's act of designating himself as a slave of the King of kings. He puts this ahead of his apostleship.
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)
We are not our own, and Paul was proud of that fact. Instead of seeing Christianity as a system of do's and don'ts, he saw it as the privilege of privileges. His was a position of honor.
Who you are in life is largely a result of how you see yourself. We tend to value our life on the basis of our job, our possessions, our influence, our friends, our activities. Paul saw his value by Whose he was. He was a servant of the King of Kings. Who are you? When you lay in bed at night, do you fret about your health, the things you need to do, the things you didn't do? If you are a slave of the King of Kings, you have no rights over tomorrow, over your body, over your job. He has total control. There is no need to fret, no need to worry, no need to be concerned. Only the need to praise Him, draw closer to Him, wait patiently upon Him.
He was a slave first, an apostle second.
The adjective comes from the verb kaleō, "to call" in the sense here of "to call to assume an office." Paul was a called apostle in the sense that God summoned him to that position and placed him in it
Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle.
Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas.
What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified?
Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God!
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV)
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV)
Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life.
But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting.

Aspartame - Sweet Misery A Poisoned World

Just like fluoridated water, aspartame is literally a poison in almost ALL of our food. Aspartame causes seizures, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Grave's disease. In 1970, scientists fed milk with aspartame to 7 monkeys to study the effects. The final results: starting after 218 days - 5 monkeys had grand mal seizures and 1 died. IT'S IN ALMOST ALL OF OUR FOOD! Ever heard of Equal, NutraSweet, Creatine, or Canderel?
Aspartame is a commercially produced artificial sweetner (sugar substitute) made from:
* 50% phenylalanine (an essential amino acid)
* 40% aspartic acid (a nonessential amino acid)
* 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol, becomes formaldehyde at 85°F).
Please note that even G.D. Searle (the original manufacturer of aspartame) admitted that aspartame could not be used for everything. Even the FDA mentioned you could not use it to bake because it breaks down. Yet they approved it in dry products to begin with and when you put Equal in such things as hot coffee you just heated it. Then in 1993 they approved it for baking against their own instructions. In 1996 Dr. David Kessler granted blanket approval for it to be used in everything. How did they do it? Dr. Kessler said if the complaints went down they could do it. So the FDA stopped taking complaints and many people called and asked why they would not take the complaint.
History of Monsanto's Saccharine & Aspartame
1901: Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri by John Francis Queeny, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. Queeny funded the start-up with capital from Coca-Cola (saccharin). Founder John Francis Queeny named Monsanto Chemical Works after his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. Queeny's father in law was Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto, wealthy financier of a sugar company active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies.
1902: The company manufactures its first product, the artificial sweetener Saccharin, which Monsanto sold to the Coca-Cola Company. The U.S. government later files suit over the safety of Saccharin - but loses.
1905: John Queeny's company was also producing caffeine and vanillin and was beginning to turn a profit.
1919: Monsanto established its presence in Europe by entering into a partnership with Graesser's Chemical Works at Cefn Mawr near Ruabon, Wales to produce vanillin, salicylic acid, aspirin and later rubber.
1967: Searle began the safety tests on aspartame that were necessary for applying for FDA approval of food additives. Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, conducts aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the Searle Company. Of the 7 monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, 1 monkey DIED and 5 other monkeys had grand mal seizures.
1970: Cyclamate (the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener) is pulled off the market in November after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame.
December 18, 1970: Searle Company executives lay out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy" that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying Yes."
1971: Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate MSG was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study.
1973: After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety. One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that "the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame". She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed.
1974: Attorney Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives in May to discuss Dr. Olney's 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice.
Monsanto Pirates1974: The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods on July 26.
1974: Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame's approval in August.
1976: Monsanto produces Cycle-Safe, the world's first plastic soft-drink bottle. The bottle, suspected of posing a cancer risk, is banned the following year by the Food and

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.

Senator Lundy is interviewed about her background, interest in ICT, Government 2.0, Canberra and a few personal topics such as her passion for sport.
Transcript:
Laurie Wilson: Hello and welcome to another edition of viewpoint. Kate Lundy has represented the people of the ACT in the senate for well over a decade. Like many Labor party politicians Senator Lundy made her way up through the union ranks, working as a young woman in the building industry. Along the way she developed a fascination for computing and a passion for the power of the internet. While not widely known outside of Canberra Senator Lundy was recently named among the top twenty-five people around the world who are influencing the role of the internet in politics.
Opening Sequence
LW: Kate Lundy thank you very much for joining us on viewpoint. You’ve been a Senator now for what, thirteen years, when you look back over that time what have been the highlights?
Kate Lundy: Well Laurie it won’t surprise you to know that winning the federal election was a highlight. I think being in opposition for so many of those thirteen years was extremely tough. Election after election Labor were out manoeuvred and defeated at the election so come 2007 it was a very exciting time.
LW: Yes, unlike most other Senator’s who represent the states you actually a territory, the ACT and your terms of office are actually different to those of the states. In fact you’ve actually been a Senator from day one of when Labor went into opposition way back in 1996.
KL: Look you’re absolutely right. A lot of people don’t realise that our term is exactly the same as the house of reps. The four territory Senators, two from the Northern Territory, two from the ACT have essentially a three year term or thereabouts aligned with the house of reps, so we go to election every time and we also start our term the day after the poll in the same way the house of reps members do.
LW: Does that make it harder for you? I mean it’s almost like in a sense you’re a member of the lower house except that you’re not in the lower house.
KL: Look, to be honest it feels like that because I often say we are the most accountable Senators because we are elected every three years but sort of all jokes aside my electorate is the ACT. It’s two very large lower house seats, the seat of Canberra and the seat of Fraser combined, but the way I do my work, I think is very much like a house of reps member. We do a lot of constituent work, we make sure our office is very accessible and that constituents are welcome to come in and discuss whatever it is they’d like to discuss with me. So it feels a bit like that.
LW: Indeed, unlike most other members of parliament, upper house and lower house you actually live where you work.
KL: Well in this regard I think I’m one of the lucky ones. I do get to go home every night and that can’t be said for the vast majority of sitting members when they’re here in Canberra. That’s quite a tough life when you think of the separation from family, so in that sense I do think I’m lucky. I live in north Canberra so it’s about ten minutes from parliament house and I think that’s been essential to have a family and to do my work.
LW: Looking back, you actually left school at quite a young age and you took an unusual career path for a young woman. You went into the building industry.
KL: Yeah, Look I’m very proud of how I got to parliament, it is a bit different. I did leave school as you say when I was sixteen and started work as a labourer. That was pretty unusual at the time and my job was removing asbestos from public buildings, so it was quite tough, we would wear a lot of protective clothing and in fact Laurie, it was that experience that raised my political consciousness. My focus was on occupational health and safety and arguing to make sure that we did abide by the safety standards associated with removing asbestos and it really underpins how I became a political person.
LW: You obviously did end up in politics but the path to that, like many other Labor members was through the union movement, and leadership in the union movement, what motivated you to take that path?
KL: Look I think it was ultimately about necessity, my parent weren’t particularly political so my eye opening if you like, or my awareness about the relationship between your experience in the workplace and politics came about on the job and it didn’t take very long to work out that someone made the safety standards, someone made the laws that governed who we worked and how we were able to work and so the connection happened pretty early on. We worked to a code of practice, that code of practice was developed by the government, the government made the policy that set the code of practice. So if you wanted to influence the government policy you needed to be engaged and involved in the first instance through my union, which was part of the negotiating partie

The four territory Senators, two from the Northern Territory, two from the ACT have essentially a three year term or thereabouts aligned with the house of reps, so we go to election every time and we also start our term the day after the poll in the same way the house of reps members do.
LW: Does that make it harder for you? I mean it’s almost like in a sense you’re a member of the lower house except that you’re not in the lower house.
KL: Look, to be honest it feels like that because I often say we are the most accountable Senators because we are elected every three years but sort of all jokes aside my electorate is the ACT. It’s two very large lower house seats, the seat of Canberra and the seat of Fraser combined, but the way I do my work, I think is very much like a house of reps member. We do a lot of constituent work, we make sure our office is very accessible and that constituents are welcome to come in and discuss whatever it is they’d like to discuss with me. So it feels a bit like that.
LW: Indeed, unlike most other members of parliament, upper house and lower house you actually live where you work.
KL: Well in this regard I think I’m one of the lucky ones. I do get to go home every night and that can’t be said for the vast majority of sitting members when they’re here in Canberra. That’s quite a tough life when you think of the separation from family, so in that sense I do think I’m lucky. I live in north Canberra so it’s about ten minutes from parliament house and I think that’s been essential to have a family and to do my work.
LW: Looking back, you actually left school at quite a young age and you took an unusual career path for a young woman. You went into the building industry.
KL: Yeah, Look I’m very proud of how I got to parliament, it is a bit different. I did leave school as you say when I was sixteen and started work as a labourer. That was pretty unusual at the time and my job was removing asbestos from public buildings, so it was quite tough, we would wear a lot of protective clothing and in fact Laurie, it was that experience that raised my political consciousness. My focus was on occupational health and safety and arguing to make sure that we did abide by the safety standards associated with removing asbestos and it really underpins how I became a political person.
LW: You obviously did end up in politics but the path to that, like many other Labor members was through the union movement, and leadership in the union movement, what motivated you to take that path?
KL: Look I think it was ultimately about necessity, my parent weren’t particularly political so my eye opening if you like, or my awareness about the relationship between your experience in the workplace and politics came about on the job and it didn’t take very long to work out that someone made the safety standards, someone made the laws that governed who we worked and how we were able to work and so the connection happened pretty early on. We worked to a code of practice, that code of practice was developed by the government, the government made the policy that set the code of practice. So if you wanted to influence the government policy you needed to be engaged and involved in the first instance through my union, which was part of the negotiating partie

Fourth Sermon in our "Sacred Marriage" series based upon the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas
While at Baptist Bible College it was common to have conversations with a friend about some gal that had captured their heart and now they were considering asker her to marry them. My standard reply was to imagine falling into a dark bottomless pit and all the way down you could see the words flashing in neon "Forever Forever Forever" It was a not so subtle reference to the bottomless pit that Satan will be cast into one day.
There would be an occasional chuckle, or nervous laugh, but the truth was in our minds that marriage was a serious undertaking that impacted the rest of your life. In 1870 a wife would be lucky if her husband lived past the time the youngest child left home. In 1911 the average marriage lasted 28 years. By 1967 that average had reached 42 years. Paul Harvey got to the point that he wouldn't even mention your anniversary unless it was 60 and most of the time 70 years of marriage.
Now 70 years of marriage would seem like an eternity to most folks. But with medical care advancing, if a couple stays together, it is no big deal anymore to see at least their 50th anniversary. We have at least three folks in our church that have been married over 60 years.
What this means is that you hae an opportunity to build a real history with each other. Now with digital cameras, you might be able to remember it all.
HISTORY AS A TIMELINE:
With our American brains we see time as a line with various dates and events marked on it. It is a linear view of history. Time is the determiner of when things happen. We got married May 18 1974. We had children on such and such a date, we bought this house on a certain date, we sold and bought another house, etc. The kids went to this school at such and such a date, graduated from High School College etc. Everything fits on the timeline of our life.
BIBLICAL VIEW OF TIME AND HISTORY
To understand how marriages have the opportunity to enjoy “Sacred History” it would be helpful to understand a Biblical view of History.
This is where an understanding of ancient Jewish view of History comes into play.
The ancient Hebrew perception of time was not abstract like our modern view; instead, it was connected to the idea of specific events, and because of this event specific orientation the people of Israel "found the idea of a time without a particular event quite inconceivable" [Von Rad, v. 2, page 100]. So, for the ancient Jews the concept of "time" was understood only in relation to particular events: There is a time of giving birth (Mic. 5:2), a time for animals to be gathered together (Gen. 29:7), a time when kings go forth to battle (II Sam. 11:1).
The tree yields its fruit 'in its time' (Ps. I. 3), and God gives his creatures food 'in due time' (Ps. CIV. 27); that is to say, every event has its definite place in the time-order; the event is inconceivable without its time... [Von Rad, v. 2, page 100].
Psalm 31:15 which reads, "My times are in thy hands" [KJV,RSV].
The Jews of David’s time did not think of time like we do, they viewed life as being made of many times, or a series of times.
BIBLICAL JEWS SAW GOD AS THE LORD OF HISTORY
Specifically, the Jews saw time as a series of specific events initiated by God. Time did not exist as an independent reality, but existed only in relation to divinely initiated events.
I will use my wife as an example of how the Jews viewed history.
My wife views our history not by dates but by whom she was pregnant with at the time. I’ll mention a partucular event and say when did that happen and she’ll say – well it had to be so and so year because Redeptshe was pregnant with Tonya or somebody else. If it happened when she wasn’t pregnant with any one, she can’t remember it or can’t recall the year. Her concept of time is totally event related.
All of their festivals and observances celebrated a redemptive act of God. The exact time was not important, but their celebration and identifying with what God did was important.
I believe in heaven that time will cease to exist. We will simply live in events in happenings. We’ll be able to participate in the crossing of the Red Sea. We’ll be able to watch as Jesus feeds the multiture. We’ll watch as Peter walks and then falls into the Sea. We’ll watch as Jesus rescues him.
It won’t be a movie, it will be the real thing. Time will cease to exist, and we will be totally event oriented.
It will be totally about seeing how God has redeemed us and mde us trophies of His grace.
GOD’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL
Karl Barth (a famous theologian) was challenged by an atheist to prove the existence of God. His reply was quite simple - the Jew. For over 4000 years the Jews have kept a separate identity while all the other races of man came and went.

“I believe that we are having a dialogue” is a dance performance that emphasizes on the simple yet complex notion of being together. We are together on stage – moving and speaking - creating a space where possible moments of togetherness can be experienced. The feeling of togetherness is a fugitive phenomena that constantly needs to be re-negotiated and re-experienced in order to exist. In our performance we are consciously letting this negotiation be visible, as it involves our agreements and virtues as well as our misunderstandings and shortcomings.
Can you feel what I feel? When do we actually experience togetherness?
The piece was developed during a period of 4 months living apart in summer 2011 and 9 weeks of non-stop togetherness in winter 2011-2012, while working in residence at Labor Gras in Berlin, Trois C-L in Luxembourg and Jojo dance centre in Oulu.
“They always relate to each other and they address intimacy without melting into a couple. They keep their boundaries without being separated at any moment. Intimacy here, is not a matter of psychology and nearly doesn't touch narration. Intimacy here, is grounded on a deep understanding of the other one's way to act as a mover. The two women share their ideas about how to be together without loosing yourself. They offer a kind of coexistence of individuality and commonality.” (Christiane Berger, Berlin)

I had a call this week from the daughter of a couple that lives near our church. Many of you would recognize her parents name. Seems her parents have been living together the last 20 years or so and never got married. Now they are thinking about making it legal and are looking into having a quaint church wedding. She said that because I was the priest they would want me to do the wedding. I corrected her of course, but I said that as Pastor I take marriage very seriously.
For Your Information I have four prerequisites that must be met before I will bless the marriage of a man and woman.
1.The couple must believe that marriage is a Covenant Vow before God
2.They must not be living together
3.They must go through premarital counseling before I agree to marry them.
4.They must have the blessings of both sets of parents.
I invited her to have them call me and we could meet and discuss it more fully.
Some of you are thinking, Brother Jim, that seems pretty harsh. After all, they have been living together and need to make it official. Plus they are our neighbors, and this is a chance to reach out to them.
I understand your thoughts, but consider this: Do we ever have an excuse to take God for granted? NO! God is Holy, He is Righteous. He has standards and He reigns in Heaven whether we acknowledge Him or not. One day everyone will have an appointment with the God who created them and will answer for why they took Him for granted.
If we can't ever take God for granted, then we can't take Jesus for granted. And if we can't take Jesus for granted, we can't take His wife for granted. And the church is His wife. Now when it comes to the church, the bride of Christ, we see a Universal application, but we also see a local application.
I believe Pleasant Prairie Baptist can be a great church. I believe we are sitting in a mission field. And we need to start taking our church more seriously. We can not take it for granted, just as we wouldn't dare think of taking God for granted.
I believe the community around Pleasant Prairie takes us for granted. They see us as a qaint little country church instead of seeing us as the powerful Bride of Jesus Christ. I think that is because we have failed to be a church, we have failed to be a bride, we have taken the Word of God for granted.
I see a couple problems with America.
1.We are extremely self-loving.
2.We dishonor the Word of God.
Because we love ourselves we tend to do what we want when we want it. Because we dishonor God's Word, we dishonor God, we dishonor the church, we dishonor preachers, we dishonor pastors. When you dishonor God's Word, you start to dishonor everything about God and what God says is important. We dishonor marriage, we dishonor the family, we dishonor our relationships with each other.
So for the next two weeks I want us to see from God's Word Why Pleasant Prairie Baptist Church was put here on the corner of 215th & Y, and then I want to see from God's Word what we should be doing so that we do not take God's Word for granted. To do so we need to answer 2 Questions:
What Makes a Church?
What is Membership All About?
First, let's look at Black's Law Dictionary and see what our Courts say a church is.
A body or community of Christians, united under one form of government by the profession of one faith, and the observance of the same rituals and ceremonies. Black's Law Dictionary 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th eds.
Let's see how this meshes with how Jesus Views His Church:
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, THAT THOU ART PETER Petros (stone), and upon this rock petra (Christ is the great foundation, the "chief corner-stone,"—Vincent's) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:15-19
1.Jesus says the church is something He is Building.
Jesus is the Architect, the owner, the developer, the reason there is a church.
2.Jesus says His church has Great Power.
Stronger than Hell, Able to Bring Heaven down to Earth
3.Jesus says His Church is built upon Stones that all Declare the same Message.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. The Church is all about Jesus and His Living in us, empowering us to reach out to those who are without Jesus.
1. The Church is a living building of “Called out Ones”
Jesus says “I will build my church”

JARDIN PLANETAIRE
Le symposium "Jardin Planétaire" fait partie des douze "Ateliers du siècle prochain" organisés à
l'initiative de l'Association "Prospective 2100"(1). Ces ateliers font suite à un travail de prospective
générale ("2100" Le Récit du prochain siècle - Éditions PAYOT). Ils visent à délibérer entre
professionnels du monde entier à partir d'expériences réussies en vue d'échanger et de faire
connaître les moyens concrets, techniques et économiques, de mise en oeuvre d'une programmation.
Jardin Planétaire s'inscrit évidemment dans le mouvement lancé par la conférence de Rio et
l'"Agenda 21" des Nations-Unies. Toutefois, il ne cherche pas à réunir des décideurs politiques du plus
haut niveau, mais plutôt des hommes de métier et de terrain de manière à étudier les conditions
pratiques de réalisation des programmes du futur.
10 000 ans après la révolution néolithique, la planète a été entièrement explorée. La Terre est devenue
le jardin de l'espèce humaine. Passer de l'exploitation de la Nature au jardinage planétaire, c'est d'abord
s'imposer un rythme de développement durable (sustainable) assurant la pérennité des écosystèmes.
C'est ensuite assumer une responsabilité, celle du jardinier, qui consacre son travail à maintenir en
bonne santé l'espace qu'il a aménagé. C'est enfin considérer la Nature comme un espace de création
culturelle où s'exprime le génie de chaque civilisation.
La transition de l'exploitation à la gestion durable de la Nature est un enjeu vital pour le prochain siècle.
Déjà engagée en Europe, elle reste à faire dans la plupart des régions du monde.
Sous la pression de nécessités économiques, les sociétés sont en effet amenées à délaisser le long
terme et à détruire, endommager ou remplacer les écosystèmes :
- on brûle les forêts pour y installer des pâturages, des plantations, ou des cultures
annuelles ;
- on épuise la terre pour en tirer des rendements toujours croissants ;
- on puise dans les eaux souterraines au delà des capacités de renouvellement des
nappes pour intensifier l'irrigation...
Cette attitude mène à des déséquilibres : réduction de la biodiversité, baisse des ressources en eau,
perte de fertilité des sols, salinisation des domaines trop irrigués. C'est trop souvent après des
expériences catastrophiques que les exploitations en arrivent à prendre en compte les grandes lois de la
gestion durable.
D'une manière plus générale, le 19ème et le 20ème siècles ont été marqués par des révolutions
scientifiques et technologiques extraordinaires qui ont fait reculer la mort et donner des possibilités
fabuleuses d'épanouissement personnel et collectif. Mais jusqu'à présent, on n'a pas assez mesuré
leurs effets indésirables. Ceux-ci vont devenir très préoccupants, au cours du 21ème siècle : effets de
serre, prolifération de micro-organismes résistants, croissance exponentielle des déchets et des boues.
La question vitale qui se pose est donc la suivante : est-ce que la logique comptable de l'économie de
marché, qui s'est maintenant installée sur toute la planète, aboutit inévitablement au sacrifice de l'avenir
de la biosphère, ou est-ce que d'autres logiques peuvent s'établir qui, conformément au désir des
populations, restaureraient une coexistence durable entre l'espèce humaine et la Nature ?
Dans la logique du Jardin Planétaire, l'agriculture passerait progressivement d'une conception où la

JARDIN PLANETAIRE
Le symposium "Jardin Planétaire" fait partie des douze "Ateliers du siècle prochain" organisés à
l'initiative de l'Association "Prospective 2100"(1). Ces ateliers font suite à un travail de prospective
générale ("2100" Le Récit du prochain siècle - Éditions PAYOT). Ils visent à délibérer entre
professionnels du monde entier à partir d'expériences réussies en vue d'échanger et de faire
connaître les moyens concrets, techniques et économiques, de mise en oeuvre d'une programmation.
Jardin Planétaire s'inscrit évidemment dans le mouvement lancé par la conférence de Rio et
l'"Agenda 21" des Nations-Unies. Toutefois, il ne cherche pas à réunir des décideurs politiques du plus
haut niveau, mais plutôt des hommes de métier et de terrain de manière à étudier les conditions
pratiques de réalisation des programmes du futur.
10 000 ans après la révolution néolithique, la planète a été entièrement explorée. La Terre est devenue
le jardin de l'espèce humaine. Passer de l'exploitation de la Nature au jardinage planétaire, c'est d'abord
s'imposer un rythme de développement durable (sustainable) assurant la pérennité des écosystèmes.
C'est ensuite assumer une responsabilité, celle du jardinier, qui consacre son travail à maintenir en
bonne santé l'espace qu'il a aménagé. C'est enfin considérer la Nature comme un espace de création
culturelle où s'exprime le génie de chaque civilisation.
La transition de l'exploitation à la gestion durable de la Nature est un enjeu vital pour le prochain siècle.
Déjà engagée en Europe, elle reste à faire dans la plupart des régions du monde.
Sous la pression de nécessités économiques, les sociétés sont en effet amenées à délaisser le long
terme et à détruire, endommager ou remplacer les écosystèmes :
- on brûle les forêts pour y installer des pâturages, des plantations, ou des cultures
annuelles ;
- on épuise la terre pour en tirer des rendements toujours croissants ;
- on puise dans les eaux souterraines au delà des capacités de renouvellement des
nappes pour intensifier l'irrigation...
Cette attitude mène à des déséquilibres : réduction de la biodiversité, baisse des ressources en eau,
perte de fertilité des sols, salinisation des domaines trop irrigués. C'est trop souvent après des
expériences catastrophiques que les exploitations en arrivent à prendre en compte les grandes lois de la
gestion durable.
D'une manière plus générale, le 19ème et le 20ème siècles ont été marqués par des révolutions
scientifiques et technologiques extraordinaires qui ont fait reculer la mort et donner des possibilités
fabuleuses d'épanouissement personnel et collectif. Mais jusqu'à présent, on n'a pas assez mesuré
leurs effets indésirables. Ceux-ci vont devenir très préoccupants, au cours du 21ème siècle : effets de
serre, prolifération de micro-organismes résistants, croissance exponentielle des déchets et des boues.
La question vitale qui se pose est donc la suivante : est-ce que la logique comptable de l'économie de
marché, qui s'est maintenant installée sur toute la planète, aboutit inévitablement au sacrifice de l'avenir
de la biosphère, ou est-ce que d'autres logiques peuvent s'établir qui, conformément au désir des
populations, restaureraient une coexistence durable entre l'espèce humaine et la Nature ?
Dans la logique du Jardin Planétaire, l'agriculture passerait progressivement d'une conception où la
qualité de l'énvironnement n'était pas prise en compte, à une conception où l'on cherche à produire en
respectant les contraintes liées à la pérennité des ressources et la qualité de vie. Cette transformation est
connue sous le nom de "evergreen revolution". De même, l'exploitation des forêts passe à une
gestion durable préservant la biodiversité et l'agrément des espaces naturels.

President Barack Obama says the oil spill will have caused substantial and ongoing economic impact. Open letter. Paul Chehade:.
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
Dear Mr. President,
I would like to take a few minutes of your precious time to consult with you about a very important matter to our nation and especially to four states of the Union. This is regarding the disastrous consequences of the British Petroleum Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico and our commitment to demonstrate, at our cost, an advanced new Italian technology that will safely and ecologically decontaminate the affected areas.
We know that you and the government are dedicating all the attention to this important matter, implementing the necessary technologies and resources to mitigate the damage, and at the same time we understand that the BP executives are working around the clock to impede further damage to the Gulf of Mexico and the population in the four states affected. We the citizens of this country thank you, the government, and BP for the tremendous effort to somehow correct the problem.
\
But the reality expressed by the experts is different and this tragedy will impact even further if we don’t take serious additional steps to diminish the damage. As you may already know, the damage to the marine life and the coast, plus the economic impact to millions of citizens in the four states, will pale compared to the severe health consequences that the acid rain may produce to the population due to the evaporation of the contaminated waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Taking all of this into consideration and with the only objective to help my country, I would like to kindly propose to you, the government and the BP executives, a new technology from Italy that will ecologically decontaminate, in a large percentage, the water and sand in the affected areas without further damaging the environment. If you or the agency in charge allows us to do a proven demonstration, we are ready and willing to pay the full cost of the test, a few hundred of thousands of dollars, as a contribution to our nation and the State of Florida where we live.
We understand that you and the agencies in charge may have received hundreds of letters with different technologies and all kind of propositions, but we are not asking you to believe in this technology at the moment, we are only requesting you to give us the opportunity to prove this technology works at no cost for the well being of our nation.
I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration and taking the time to read our letter, please be so kind to contact me at your earliest convenience for further information.
Sincerely yours
Paul Chehade:.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As is known, from the May 3, 2010, I had been working on the serious problem that welcomes us in relation to the pollution in our coasts due to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico this year. Since that date, I been sending letters to both, the President of the United States and to all those governors in the states involved.
Personally, I believe that we cannot continue waiting for the bureaucratic processes without immediate results. (As our habitat and economy are destroyed). Consequently, together with a group of Americans and Europeans entrepreneurs I had taken the decision to accelerate this process and make a free test of effectiveness with our products and technologies that will clean the contaminated areas. This process is to be made as soon as possible on behalf of our nation, for the protection and care it deserves. Our group presented a solution to this tragedy by making available new technologically advanced equipment from Italy that will effectively clean the sand and sea of the Gulf of Mexico.
No entity in charge or the media has mentioned the truly profound consequences of the tragic BP oil spill event. The oil spill contamination is not only destroying the Gulf of Mexico's marine life for many decades, but it will increase the risk of cancer and other serious diseases that could be fatal to the population of the affected four states of the union due to toxic acid rain. Acid rain will be one of the direct consequences of this devastating accident due to the evaporation of the polluted waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN IN HUMANS:
Mr. Chehade explains that Acid Rain looks, feels, and tastes just like clean rain. The harm to people from acid rain is not direct. However, the pollutants that cause acid rain, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) do damage human health. These gases interact in the atmosphere to form fine sulfate and nitrate particles that can be transported by the wind, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles and are inhaled deep into people's lungs. Fine particles can also penetrate indoors. The result is drying of the skin and bacterial infection. This can be unsightly and deadly.
How does Acid Rain affect humans? Many scientific studies have

Aspartame - Sweet Misery A Poisoned World
Just like fluoridated water, aspartame is literally a poison in almost ALL of our food. Aspartame causes seizures, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Grave's disease. In 1970, scientists fed milk with aspartame to 7 monkeys to study the effects. The final results: starting after 218 days - 5 monkeys had grand mal seizures and 1 died. IT'S IN ALMOST ALL OF OUR FOOD! Ever heard of Equal, NutraSweet, Creatine, or Canderel? Aspartame is a commercially produced artificial sweetner (sugar substitute) made from: * 50% phenylalanine (an essential amino acid) * 40% aspartic acid (a nonessential amino acid) * 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol, becomes formaldehyde at 85°F). Please note that even G.D. Searle (the original manufacturer of aspartame) admitted that aspartame could ...

Persevering to a Sacred History
Fourth Sermon in our "Sacred Marriage" series based upon the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas While at Baptist Bible College it was common to have conversations with a friend about some gal that had captured their heart and now they were considering asker her to marry them. My standard reply was to imagine falling into a dark bottomless pit and all the way down you could see the words flashing in neon "Forever Forever Forever" It was a not so subtle reference to the bottomless pit that Satan will be cast into one day. There would be an occasional chuckle, or nervous laugh, but the truth was in our minds that marriage was a serious undertaking that impacted the rest of your life. In 1870 a wife would be lucky if her husband lived past the time the youngest child left home. In 1911...

I believe that we are having a dialogue - trailer
“I believe that we are having a dialogue” is a dance performance that emphasizes on the simple yet complex notion of being together. We are together on stage – moving and speaking - creating a space where possible moments of togetherness can be experienced. The feeling of togetherness is a fugitive phenomena that constantly needs to be re-negotiated and re-experienced in order to exist. In our performance we are consciously letting this negotiation be visible, as it involves our agreements and virtues as well as our misunderstandings and shortcomings. Can you feel what I feel? When do we actually experience togetherness? The piece was developed during a period of 4 months living apart in summer 2011 and 9 weeks of non-stop togetherness in winter 2011-2012, while working in residence at ...

For Your Information I have four prerequisites that must be met before I will bless the marriage of a man and woman. 1.The couple must believe that marriage is a Covenant Vow before God 2.They must not be living together 3.They must go through premarital counseling before I agree to marry them. 4.They must have the bless...

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 449) 29 U.S.C. § 151–169 (also known as the Wagner Act after NY Senator Robert F. Wagner[1]) is a foundational statute of US labor law which guarantees basic rights of private sector employees to organize into trade unions, engage in collective bargaining for better terms and conditions at work, and take collective action including strike if necessary. The act also created the National Labor Relations Board, which conducts elections that can require employers to engage in collective bargaining with labor unions (also known as trade unions). The Act does not apply to workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, federal, state or local government workers, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.
The act was bitterly opposed by the Republican Party and business groups. The American Liberty League viewed the act as a threat to freedom and engaged in a campaign of opposition in order to repeal these "socialist" efforts. This included encouraging employers to refuse to comply with the NLRB and supporting the nationwide filing of injunctions to keep the NLRB from functioning. This campaign continued until the NLRA was found constitutional by the Supreme Court in National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation (1937).
Labor groups, while overwhelmingly supportive, expressed a set of reservations. The American Federation of Labor and some employers accused the NLRB of favoring the Congress of Industrial Organizations, particularly when determining whether to hold union elections in plant-wide, or wall-to-wall, units, which the CIO usually sought, or to hold separate elections in separate craft units, which the craft unions in the AFL favored. While the NLRB initially favored plant-wide units, which tacitly favored the CIO's industrial unionism, it retreated to a compromise position several years later under pressure from Congress that allowed craft unions to seek separate representation of smaller groups of workers at the same time that another union was seeking a wall-to-wall unit.
Employers and their allies in Congress also criticized the NLRA for its expansive definition of "employee" and for allowing supervisors and plant guards to form unions, sometimes affiliated with the unions that represented the employees whom they were supposed to supervise or police. Many accused the NLRB of a general pro-union and anti-employer bias, pointing to the Board's controversial decisions in such areas as employer free speech and "mixed motive" cases, in which the NLRB held that an employer violated the Act by using misconduct that ordinarily would not result in termination to fire an employee who was engaged in pro-union activity. In addition, employers campaigned over the years to outlaw a number of union practices such as closed shops, secondary boycotts, jurisdictional strikes, mass picketing, strikes in violation of contractual no-strike clauses, pension and health and welfare plans sponsored by unions and multi-employer bargaining.
Many of these criticisms included provisions that employers and their allies were unable to have included in the NLRA. Others developed in reaction to NLRB decisions. Over all, they wanted the NLRB to be neutral as to bargaining power, but the NLRA's policy section takes a decidedly pro-employee position:
It is declared to be the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self- organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.
Some of these changes were later achieved in the 1947 amendments.

Introduction by Anne Lyons, Assist Director General at the National Archives of Australia
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the National Archives of Australia. My name is Anne Lyons and I'm the Assistant Director General here at the National Archives. Firstly I'd like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today. It's my pleasure to welcome Kate Lundy, Senator for the Australian Capital Territory and member of the National Archives Advisory Council to deliver today's Speaker's Corner "Creating a new Nation's Capital". Senator Lundy has represented the Australian Capital Territory in the Australian Federal Parliament as a member of the Australian Labor Party since 1996. She's held many portfolios in opposition, including Information Technology, Manufacturing, Consumer Affairs, Local Government, Sport and Health Promotion. Elected for the 5th time as part of the Rudd Labor Government, Senator Lundy is currently the chair of the Joint Standing Committee for the National Capital and External Territories, and is a long standing active member of the Senate Environment, Communications and Arts Committee.
Senator Lundy's passion for Canberra is reflected in her interest in the National Capital plan's origins, and it's ongoing relevance to a vibrant 21st century national capital for all Australian's to share and enjoy.
Being an enthusiastic rower, Senator Lundy has the opportunity to regularly enjoy Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding inspiring landscape design, and the remarkable geometry that makes - by virtue of the Griffin Plan - Canberra itself a work of art. Today we're delighted that Senator Lundy's presenting a personal perspective on Canberra's design. She'll focus on the creation of the nation's capital, with reference to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney Griffin: their background and influences, their roots in Chicago, and the implications of these international links.
To complement this lecture we're delighted to have on display a selection of the Griffin's original renderings. The items are a treasured part of the National Archives collection, and we're especially thrilled to be able to present a rare viewing of the largest of these plans. The triptych of the view from Mount Ainslie. I encourage you to view them after the presentation if you haven't already done so, and after the presentation we'll direct you down to where those drawings are.
So without any further words from me, I'd like to introduce Senator Kate Lundy.

Creating a New Nation’s Capital
Musings on Canberra’s design origins
Senator Kate Lundy
20 September 2009
I want to begin my presentation today … in New York, 2009. The Guggenheim Museum has, for many months, been host to a remarkable retrospective exhibition in honour of the architect: Frank Lloyd Wright.
I had the privilege to view this exhibition whilst on a family holiday early in the northern hemisphere summer and it inspired me to explore further the relationship between the famous, if not notorious, American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, and his contemporary, the renowned, certainly in this city the renowned, Walter Burley Griffin.
What I saw at this exhibition were vast renderings of future cities envisaged but never built– and they all impacted with a real feeling of familiarity, of recognition of century-old, lofty ideals expressed through these imposing works of art and their accompanying interpretations. Why? Because there, in the middle of the museum mile in New York City, I was seeing and hearing a version, an interpretation of the ideas that sit at the heart of Canberra. The forces which inspired the Griffins to produce their visionary design of Canberra were also an inspiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, with his ‘living city’, or so-called ‘broadacre city’: Wright’s city in the landscape.
This wonderful New York moment got me thinking, speculating on the nature of the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin and his life partner, Marion Mahony-- and how it was that we were living the vision, seemingly expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright later in his career, right here in our national capital in Australia. But in this room, we all know that the Griffin design came WELL BEFORE the Wright designs I was looking at in the Guggenheim. Indeed, the Griffins produced their masterwork heaps before the world knew anything much at all about Wright.
So my journey was one of delving into the source of this inspiration that, by circumstance and serendipity, meant that I found myself gazing at stylish renderings of Wright’s vision for an organic Baghdad at one with the landscape – his “broadacre city” – but I felt I was seeing a blood relation of Canberra!

Paul, Bond-Slave to the King!
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul designates his highest office as bond-servant (doulos). He puts that before his office as apostle.
Paul calls himself a bond slave of Christ Jesus. The case classification is genitive of possession. The apostle is proud of the fact that he is a slave belonging to his Lord. There were certain individuals in the Roman empire designated "Slaves of the Emperor." This was a position of honor. One finds a reflection of this in Paul's act of designating himself as a slave of the King of kings. He puts this ahead of his apostleship.
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)
We are not our own, and Paul was proud of that fact. Instead of seeing Christianity as a system of do's and don'ts, he saw it as the privilege of privileges. His was a position of honor.
Who you are in life is largely a result of how you see yourself. We tend to value our life on the basis of our job, our possessions, our influence, our friends, our activities. Paul saw his value by Whose he was. He was a servant of the King of Kings. Who are you? When you lay in bed at night, do you fret about your health, the things you need to do, the things you didn't do? If you are a slave of the King of Kings, you have no rights over tomorrow, over your body, over your job. He has total control. There is no need to fret, no need to worry, no need to be concerned. Only the need to praise Him, draw closer to Him, wait patiently upon Him.
He was a slave first, an apostle second.
The adjective comes from the verb kaleō, "to call" in the sense here of "to call to assume an office." Paul was a called apostle in the sense that God summoned him to that position and placed him in it
Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle.
Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas.
What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified?
Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God!
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV)
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV)
Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life.
But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting. Yes, Paul was made to realize that he had not only been maiming and murdering 'Christians', but he had been doing the same to the very Son of God, the Messiah whom he professed to love so much.
We can't begin to fathom what the Holy Spirit was doing in those three days after his experience on the road to Damascus. But whatever it was, when Saul gave his life to Jesus Christ, he was changed completely. He was a new man, he was set apart no longer to just Jehovah. He was set apart into the GOSPEL of GOD! (ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ (aphōrismenos eis euangelion Theo).
Set Apart Into the Gospel
aphōrismenos (aphorizmo)
He was set apart into the Gospel, because the set apart is the word aphoridzo which pictures marking an area with boundaries, with a wall or fence.
So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous Matthew 13:49 (ESV)
The Gospel of God is a natural divider of man. It will be the divider in the end times. People, you can either believe God or you can chose not to.

Most translations say called to be an apostle, but actually the greek simply says (κλητὸς ἀπόστολος) "kletos apostolos", called apostle.
Paul heard the call of Christ on the Damascus Road, and in answering that call and seeing His Savior, he was placed as one of Christ's Apostles. He took the place of the son of perdition-Judas.
What enabled the violent, self-possessed Saul to become the slave Apostle of the one he admittedly wanted crucified?
Paul allowed himself to be set apart for the Gospel of God!
But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, Galatians 1:15 (ESV)
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Acts 9:15 (ESV)
Paul became a chosen instrument, a chosen vessel for Jesus Christ! Was he forced to comply on the Damascus Road? It may seem that way. Blinded by a strange light, hearing a strange voice-he could have resisted and kept on kicking against the Lord. Or he could have made a profession, but inwardly resented the Jesus. In any case we never would have heard from old Paul again. He would have been a pothole on the pavement of life.
But something happened to this fiery little dynamo. All his training, his intelligence, his passion for the Law and the ways of the Jews melted away when he gazed upon the one whom he had been persecuting. Yes, Paul was made to realize that he had not only been maiming and murdering 'Christians', but he had been doing the same to the very Son of God, the Messiah whom he professed to love so much.
We can't begin to fathom what the Holy Spirit was doing in those three days after his experience on the road to Damascus. But whatever it was, when Saul gave his life to Jesus Christ, he was changed completely. He was a new man, he was set apart no longer to just Jehovah. He was set apart into the GOSPEL of GOD! (ἀφωρισμένος εἰς εὐαγγέλιον Θεοῦ (aphōrismenos eis euangelion Theo).
Set Apart Into the Gospel
aphōrismenos (aphorizmo)
He was set apart into the Gospel, because the set apart is the word aphoridzo which pictures marking an area with boundaries, with a wall or fence.
So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous Matthew 13:49 (ESV)
The Gospel of God is a natural divider of man. It will be the divider in the end times. People, you can either believe God or you can chose not to.

Just like fluoridated water, aspartame is literally a poison in almost ALL of our food. Aspartame causes seizures, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Grave's disease. In 1970, scientists fed milk with aspartame to 7 monkeys to study the effects. The final results: starting after 218 days - 5 monkeys had grand mal seizures and 1 died. IT'S IN ALMOST ALL OF OUR FOOD! Ever heard of Equal, NutraSweet, Creatine, or Canderel?
Aspartame is a commercially produced artificial sweetner (sugar substitute) made from:
* 50% phenylalanine (an essential amino acid)
* 40% aspartic acid (a nonessential amino acid)
* 10% methyl alcohol (wood alcohol, becomes formaldehyde at 85°F).
Please note that even G.D. Searle (the original manufacturer of aspartame) admitted that aspartame could not be used for everything. Even the FDA mentioned you could not use it to bake because it breaks down. Yet they approved it in dry products to begin with and when you put Equal in such things as hot coffee you just heated it. Then in 1993 they approved it for baking against their own instructions. In 1996 Dr. David Kessler granted blanket approval for it to be used in everything. How did they do it? Dr. Kessler said if the complaints went down they could do it. So the FDA stopped taking complaints and many people called and asked why they would not take the complaint.
History of Monsanto's Saccharine & Aspartame
1901: Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri by John Francis Queeny, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. Queeny funded the start-up with capital from Coca-Cola (saccharin). Founder John Francis Queeny named Monsanto Chemical Works after his wife, Olga Mendez Monsanto. Queeny's father in law was Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto, wealthy financier of a sugar company active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies.
1902: The company manufactures its first product, the artificial sweetener Saccharin, which Monsanto sold to the Coca-Cola Company. The U.S. government later files suit over the safety of Saccharin - but loses.
1905: John Queeny's company was also producing caffeine and vanillin and was beginning to turn a profit.
1919: Monsanto established its presence in Europe by entering into a partnership with Graesser's Chemical Works at Cefn Mawr near Ruabon, Wales to produce vanillin, salicylic acid, aspirin and later rubber.
1967: Searle began the safety tests on aspartame that were necessary for applying for FDA approval of food additives. Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, conducts aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the Searle Company. Of the 7 monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, 1 monkey DIED and 5 other monkeys had grand mal seizures.
1970: Cyclamate (the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener) is pulled off the market in November after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame.
December 18, 1970: Searle Company executives lay out a "Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy" that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics the company should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation" with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the "habit of saying Yes."
1971: Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate MSG was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle's own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study.
1973: After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame's safety. One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that "the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame". She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed.
1974: Attorney Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives in May to discuss Dr. Olney's 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice.
Monsanto Pirates1974: The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods on July 26.
1974: Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame's approval in August.
1976: Monsanto produces Cycle-Safe, the world's first plastic soft-drink bottle. The bottle, suspected of posing a cancer risk, is banned the following year by the Food and

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.

Senator Lundy is interviewed about her background, interest in ICT, Government 2.0, Canberra and a few personal topics such as her passion for sport.
Transcript:
Laurie Wilson: Hello and welcome to another edition of viewpoint. Kate Lundy has represented the people of the ACT in the senate for well over a decade. Like many Labor party politicians Senator Lundy made her way up through the union ranks, working as a young woman in the building industry. Along the way she developed a fascination for computing and a passion for the power of the internet. While not widely known outside of Canberra Senator Lundy was recently named among the top twenty-five people around the world who are influencing the role of the internet in politics.
Opening Sequence
LW: Kate Lundy thank you very much for joining us on viewpoint. You’ve been a Senator now for what, thirteen years, when you look back over that time what have been the highlights?
Kate Lundy: Well Laurie it won’t surprise you to know that winning the federal election was a highlight. I think being in opposition for so many of those thirteen years was extremely tough. Election after election Labor were out manoeuvred and defeated at the election so come 2007 it was a very exciting time.
LW: Yes, unlike most other Senator’s who represent the states you actually a territory, the ACT and your terms of office are actually different to those of the states. In fact you’ve actually been a Senator from day one of when Labor went into opposition way back in 1996.
KL: Look you’re absolutely right. A lot of people don’t realise that our term is exactly the same as the house of reps. The four territory Senators, two from the Northern Territory, two from the ACT have essentially a three year term or thereabouts aligned with the house of reps, so we go to election every time and we also start our term the day after the poll in the same way the house of reps members do.
LW: Does that make it harder for you? I mean it’s almost like in a sense you’re a member of the lower house except that you’re not in the lower house.
KL: Look, to be honest it feels like that because I often say we are the most accountable Senators because we are elected every three years but sort of all jokes aside my electorate is the ACT. It’s two very large lower house seats, the seat of Canberra and the seat of Fraser combined, but the way I do my work, I think is very much like a house of reps member. We do a lot of constituent work, we make sure our office is very accessible and that constituents are welcome to come in and discuss whatever it is they’d like to discuss with me. So it feels a bit like that.
LW: Indeed, unlike most other members of parliament, upper house and lower house you actually live where you work.
KL: Well in this regard I think I’m one of the lucky ones. I do get to go home every night and that can’t be said for the vast majority of sitting members when they’re here in Canberra. That’s quite a tough life when you think of the separation from family, so in that sense I do think I’m lucky. I live in north Canberra so it’s about ten minutes from parliament house and I think that’s been essential to have a family and to do my work.
LW: Looking back, you actually left school at quite a young age and you took an unusual career path for a young woman. You went into the building industry.
KL: Yeah, Look I’m very proud of how I got to parliament, it is a bit different. I did leave school as you say when I was sixteen and started work as a labourer. That was pretty unusual at the time and my job was removing asbestos from public buildings, so it was quite tough, we would wear a lot of protective clothing and in fact Laurie, it was that experience that raised my political consciousness. My focus was on occupational health and safety and arguing to make sure that we did abide by the safety standards associated with removing asbestos and it really underpins how I became a political person.
LW: You obviously did end up in politics but the path to that, like many other Labor members was through the union movement, and leadership in the union movement, what motivated you to take that path?
KL: Look I think it was ultimately about necessity, my parent weren’t particularly political so my eye opening if you like, or my awareness about the relationship between your experience in the workplace and politics came about on the job and it didn’t take very long to work out that someone made the safety standards, someone made the laws that governed who we worked and how we were able to work and so the connection happened pretty early on. We worked to a code of practice, that code of practice was developed by the government, the government made the policy that set the code of practice. So if you wanted to influence the government policy you needed to be engaged and involved in the first instance through my union, which was part of the negotiating partie

Fourth Sermon in our "Sacred Marriage" series based upon the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas
While at Baptist Bible College it was common to have conversations with a friend about some gal that had captured their heart and now they were considering asker her to marry them. My standard reply was to imagine falling into a dark bottomless pit and all the way down you could see the words flashing in neon "Forever Forever Forever" It was a not so subtle reference to the bottomless pit that Satan will be cast into one day.
There would be an occasional chuckle, or nervous laugh, but the truth was in our minds that marriage was a serious undertaking that impacted the rest of your life. In 1870 a wife would be lucky if her husband lived past the time the youngest child left home. In 1911 the average marriage lasted 28 years. By 1967 that average had reached 42 years. Paul Harvey got to the point that he wouldn't even mention your anniversary unless it was 60 and most of the time 70 years of marriage.
Now 70 years of marriage would seem like an eternity to most folks. But with medical care advancing, if a couple stays together, it is no big deal anymore to see at least their 50th anniversary. We have at least three folks in our church that have been married over 60 years.
What this means is that you hae an opportunity to build a real history with each other. Now with digital cameras, you might be able to remember it all.
HISTORY AS A TIMELINE:
With our American brains we see time as a line with various dates and events marked on it. It is a linear view of history. Time is the determiner of when things happen. We got married May 18 1974. We had children on such and such a date, we bought this house on a certain date, we sold and bought another house, etc. The kids went to this school at such and such a date, graduated from High School College etc. Everything fits on the timeline of our life.
BIBLICAL VIEW OF TIME AND HISTORY
To understand how marriages have the opportunity to enjoy “Sacred History” it would be helpful to understand a Biblical view of History.
This is where an understanding of ancient Jewish view of History comes into play.
The ancient Hebrew perception of time was not abstract like our modern view; instead, it was connected to the idea of specific events, and because of this event specific orientation the people of Israel "found the idea of a time without a particular event quite inconceivable" [Von Rad, v. 2, page 100]. So, for the ancient Jews the concept of "time" was understood only in relation to particular events: There is a time of giving birth (Mic. 5:2), a time for animals to be gathered together (Gen. 29:7), a time when kings go forth to battle (II Sam. 11:1).
The tree yields its fruit 'in its time' (Ps. I. 3), and God gives his creatures food 'in due time' (Ps. CIV. 27); that is to say, every event has its definite place in the time-order; the event is inconceivable without its time... [Von Rad, v. 2, page 100].
Psalm 31:15 which reads, "My times are in thy hands" [KJV,RSV].
The Jews of David’s time did not think of time like we do, they viewed life as being made of many times, or a series of times.
BIBLICAL JEWS SAW GOD AS THE LORD OF HISTORY
Specifically, the Jews saw time as a series of specific events initiated by God. Time did not exist as an independent reality, but existed only in relation to divinely initiated events.
I will use my wife as an example of how the Jews viewed history.
My wife views our history not by dates but by whom she was pregnant with at the time. I’ll mention a partucular event and say when did that happen and she’ll say – well it had to be so and so year because Redeptshe was pregnant with Tonya or somebody else. If it happened when she wasn’t pregnant with any one, she can’t remember it or can’t recall the year. Her concept of time is totally event related.
All of their festivals and observances celebrated a redemptive act of God. The exact time was not important, but their celebration and identifying with what God did was important.
I believe in heaven that time will cease to exist. We will simply live in events in happenings. We’ll be able to participate in the crossing of the Red Sea. We’ll be able to watch as Jesus feeds the multiture. We’ll watch as Peter walks and then falls into the Sea. We’ll watch as Jesus rescues him.
It won’t be a movie, it will be the real thing. Time will cease to exist, and we will be totally event oriented.
It will be totally about seeing how God has redeemed us and mde us trophies of His grace.
GOD’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL
Karl Barth (a famous theologian) was challenged by an atheist to prove the existence of God. His reply was quite simple - the Jew. For over 4000 years the Jews have kept a separate identity while all the other races of man came and went. Yet the Jewish people with their worship of Yahweh has continued on in spite of losing their land, being persecuted in coun

“I believe that we are having a dialogue” is a dance performance that emphasizes on the simple yet complex notion of being together. We are together on stage – moving and speaking - creating a space where possible moments of togetherness can be experienced. The feeling of togetherness is a fugitive phenomena that constantly needs to be re-negotiated and re-experienced in order to exist. In our performance we are consciously letting this negotiation be visible, as it involves our agreements and virtues as well as our misunderstandings and shortcomings.
Can you feel what I feel? When do we actually experience togetherness?
The piece was developed during a period of 4 months living apart in summer 2011 and 9 weeks of non-stop togetherness in winter 2011-2012, while working in residence at Labor Gras in Berlin, Trois C-L in Luxembourg and Jojo dance centre in Oulu.
“They always relate to each other and they address intimacy without melting into a couple. They keep their boundaries without being separated at any moment. Intimacy here, is not a matter of psychology and nearly doesn't touch narration. Intimacy here, is grounded on a deep understanding of the other one's way to act as a mover. The two women share their ideas about how to be together without loosing yourself. They offer a kind of coexistence of individuality and commonality.” (Christiane Berger, Berlin)

I had a call this week from the daughter of a couple that lives near our church. Many of you would recognize her parents name. Seems her parents have been living together the last 20 years or so and never got married. Now they are thinking about making it legal and are looking into having a quaint church wedding. She said that because I was the priest they would want me to do the wedding. I corrected her of course, but I said that as Pastor I take marriage very seriously.
For Your Information I have four prerequisites that must be met before I will bless the marriage of a man and woman.
1.The couple must believe that marriage is a Covenant Vow before God
2.They must not be living together
3.They must go through premarital counseling before I agree to marry them.
4.They must have the blessings of both sets of parents.
I invited her to have them call me and we could meet and discuss it more fully.
Some of you are thinking, Brother Jim, that seems pretty harsh. After all, they have been living together and need to make it official. Plus they are our neighbors, and this is a chance to reach out to them.
I understand your thoughts, but consider this: Do we ever have an excuse to take God for granted? NO! God is Holy, He is Righteous. He has standards and He reigns in Heaven whether we acknowledge Him or not. One day everyone will have an appointment with the God who created them and will answer for why they took Him for granted.
If we can't ever take God for granted, then we can't take Jesus for granted. And if we can't take Jesus for granted, we can't take His wife for granted. And the church is His wife. Now when it comes to the church, the bride of Christ, we see a Universal application, but we also see a local application.
I believe Pleasant Prairie Baptist can be a great church. I believe we are sitting in a mission field. And we need to start taking our church more seriously. We can not take it for granted, just as we wouldn't dare think of taking God for granted.
I believe the community around Pleasant Prairie takes us for granted. They see us as a qaint little country church instead of seeing us as the powerful Bride of Jesus Christ. I think that is because we have failed to be a church, we have failed to be a bride, we have taken the Word of God for granted.
I see a couple problems with America.
1.We are extremely self-loving.
2.We dishonor the Word of God.
Because we love ourselves we tend to do what we want when we want it. Because we dishonor God's Word, we dishonor God, we dishonor the church, we dishonor preachers, we dishonor pastors. When you dishonor God's Word, you start to dishonor everything about God and what God says is important. We dishonor marriage, we dishonor the family, we dishonor our relationships with each other.
So for the next two weeks I want us to see from God's Word Why Pleasant Prairie Baptist Church was put here on the corner of 215th & Y, and then I want to see from God's Word what we should be doing so that we do not take God's Word for granted. To do so we need to answer 2 Questions:
What Makes a Church?
What is Membership All About?
First, let's look at Black's Law Dictionary and see what our Courts say a church is.
A body or community of Christians, united under one form of government by the profession of one faith, and the observance of the same rituals and ceremonies. Black's Law Dictionary 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th eds.
Let's see how this meshes with how Jesus Views His Church:
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, THAT THOU ART PETER Petros (stone), and upon this rock petra (Christ is the great foundation, the "chief corner-stone,"—Vincent's) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:15-19
1.Jesus says the church is something He is Building.
Jesus is the Architect, the owner, the developer, the reason there is a church.
2.Jesus says His church has Great Power.
Stronger than Hell, Able to Bring Heaven down to Earth
3.Jesus says His Church is built upon Stones that all Declare the same Message.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. The Church is all about Jesus and His Living in us, empowering us to reach out to those who are without Jesus.
1. The Church is a living building of “Called out Ones”
Jesus says “I will build my church”
Church Universal
Church Local
Christ appears here, not as the foundation, but as the architect: "On this rock will I build."
The church is a collection of pieces of living rocks that when combined by the power of Go

JARDIN PLANETAIRE
Le symposium "Jardin Planétaire" fait partie des douze "Ateliers du siècle prochain" organisés à
l'initiative de l'Association "Prospective 2100"(1). Ces ateliers font suite à un travail de prospective
générale ("2100" Le Récit du prochain siècle - Éditions PAYOT). Ils visent à délibérer entre
professionnels du monde entier à partir d'expériences réussies en vue d'échanger et de faire
connaître les moyens concrets, techniques et économiques, de mise en oeuvre d'une programmation.
Jardin Planétaire s'inscrit évidemment dans le mouvement lancé par la conférence de Rio et
l'"Agenda 21" des Nations-Unies. Toutefois, il ne cherche pas à réunir des décideurs politiques du plus
haut niveau, mais plutôt des hommes de métier et de terrain de manière à étudier les conditions
pratiques de réalisation des programmes du futur.
10 000 ans après la révolution néolithique, la planète a été entièrement explorée. La Terre est devenue
le jardin de l'espèce humaine. Passer de l'exploitation de la Nature au jardinage planétaire, c'est d'abord
s'imposer un rythme de développement durable (sustainable) assurant la pérennité des écosystèmes.
C'est ensuite assumer une responsabilité, celle du jardinier, qui consacre son travail à maintenir en
bonne santé l'espace qu'il a aménagé. C'est enfin considérer la Nature comme un espace de création
culturelle où s'exprime le génie de chaque civilisation.
La transition de l'exploitation à la gestion durable de la Nature est un enjeu vital pour le prochain siècle.
Déjà engagée en Europe, elle reste à faire dans la plupart des régions du monde.
Sous la pression de nécessités économiques, les sociétés sont en effet amenées à délaisser le long
terme et à détruire, endommager ou remplacer les écosystèmes :
- on brûle les forêts pour y installer des pâturages, des plantations, ou des cultures
annuelles ;
- on épuise la terre pour en tirer des rendements toujours croissants ;
- on puise dans les eaux souterraines au delà des capacités de renouvellement des
nappes pour intensifier l'irrigation...
Cette attitude mène à des déséquilibres : réduction de la biodiversité, baisse des ressources en eau,
perte de fertilité des sols, salinisation des domaines trop irrigués. C'est trop souvent après des
expériences catastrophiques que les exploitations en arrivent à prendre en compte les grandes lois de la
gestion durable.
D'une manière plus générale, le 19ème et le 20ème siècles ont été marqués par des révolutions
scientifiques et technologiques extraordinaires qui ont fait reculer la mort et donner des possibilités
fabuleuses d'épanouissement personnel et collectif. Mais jusqu'à présent, on n'a pas assez mesuré
leurs effets indésirables. Ceux-ci vont devenir très préoccupants, au cours du 21ème siècle : effets de
serre, prolifération de micro-organismes résistants, croissance exponentielle des déchets et des boues.
La question vitale qui se pose est donc la suivante : est-ce que la logique comptable de l'économie de
marché, qui s'est maintenant installée sur toute la planète, aboutit inévitablement au sacrifice de l'avenir
de la biosphère, ou est-ce que d'autres logiques peuvent s'établir qui, conformément au désir des
populations, restaureraient une coexistence durable entre l'espèce humaine et la Nature ?
Dans la logique du Jardin Planétaire, l'agriculture passerait progressivement d'une conception où la
qualité de l'énvironnement n'était pas prise en compte, à une conception où l'on cherche à produire en
respectant les contraintes liées à la pérennité des ressources et la qualité de vie. Cette transformation est
connue sous le nom de "evergreen revolution". De même, l'exploitation des forêts passe à une
gestion durable préservant la biodiversité et l'agrément des espaces naturels.

expériences catastrophiques que les exploitations en arrivent à prendre en compte les grandes lois de la
gestion durable.
D'une manière plus générale, le 19ème et le 20ème siècles ont été marqués par des révolutions
scientifiques et technologiques extraordinaires qui ont fait reculer la mort et donner des possibilités
fabuleuses d'épanouissement personnel et collectif. Mais jusqu'à présent, on n'a pas assez mesuré
leurs effets indésirables. Ceux-ci vont devenir très préoccupants, au cours du 21ème siècle : effets de
serre, prolifération de micro-organismes résistants, croissance exponentielle des déchets et des boues.
La question vitale qui se pose est donc la suivante : est-ce que la logique comptable de l'économie de
marché, qui s'est maintenant installée sur toute la planète, aboutit inévitablement au sacrifice de l'avenir
de la biosphère, ou est-ce que d'autres logiques peuvent s'établir qui, conformément au désir des
populations, restaureraient une coexistence durable entre l'espèce humaine et la Nature ?
Dans la logique du Jardin Planétaire, l'agriculture passerait progressivement d'une conception où la
qualité de l'énvironnement n'était pas prise en compte, à une conception où l'on cherche à produire en
respectant les contraintes liées à la pérennité des ressources et la qualité de vie. Cette transformation est
connue sous le nom de "evergreen revolution". De même, l'exploitation des forêts passe à une
gestion durable préservant la biodiversité et l'agrément des espaces naturels.

President Barack Obama says the oil spill will have caused substantial and ongoing economic impact. Open letter. Paul Chehade:.
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
Dear Mr. President,
I would like to take a few minutes of your precious time to consult with you about a very important matter to our nation and especially to four states of the Union. This is regarding the disastrous consequences of the British Petroleum Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico and our commitment to demonstrate, at our cost, an advanced new Italian technology that will safely and ecologically decontaminate the affected areas.
We know that you and the government are dedicating all the attention to this important matter, implementing the necessary technologies and resources to mitigate the damage, and at the same time we understand that the BP executives are working around the clock to impede further damage to the Gulf of Mexico and the population in the four states affected. We the citizens of this country thank you, the government, and BP for the tremendous effort to somehow correct the problem.
\
But the reality expressed by the experts is different and this tragedy will impact even further if we don’t take serious additional steps to diminish the damage. As you may already know, the damage to the marine life and the coast, plus the economic impact to millions of citizens in the four states, will pale compared to the severe health consequences that the acid rain may produce to the population due to the evaporation of the contaminated waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Taking all of this into consideration and with the only objective to help my country, I would like to kindly propose to you, the government and the BP executives, a new technology from Italy that will ecologically decontaminate, in a large percentage, the water and sand in the affected areas without further damaging the environment. If you or the agency in charge allows us to do a proven demonstration, we are ready and willing to pay the full cost of the test, a few hundred of thousands of dollars, as a contribution to our nation and the State of Florida where we live.
We understand that you and the agencies in charge may have received hundreds of letters with different technologies and all kind of propositions, but we are not asking you to believe in this technology at the moment, we are only requesting you to give us the opportunity to prove this technology works at no cost for the well being of our nation.
I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration and taking the time to read our letter, please be so kind to contact me at your earliest convenience for further information.
Sincerely yours
Paul Chehade:.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As is known, from the May 3, 2010, I had been working on the serious problem that welcomes us in relation to the pollution in our coasts due to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico this year. Since that date, I been sending letters to both, the President of the United States and to all those governors in the states involved.
Personally, I believe that we cannot continue waiting for the bureaucratic processes without immediate results. (As our habitat and economy are destroyed). Consequently, together with a group of Americans and Europeans entrepreneurs I had taken the decision to accelerate this process and make a free test of effectiveness with our products and technologies that will clean the contaminated areas. This process is to be made as soon as possible on behalf of our nation, for the protection and care it deserves. Our group presented a solution to this tragedy by making available new technologically advanced equipment from Italy that will effectively clean the sand and sea of the Gulf of Mexico.
No entity in charge or the media has mentioned the truly profound consequences of the tragic BP oil spill event. The oil spill contamination is not only destroying the Gulf of Mexico's marine life for many decades, but it will increase the risk of cancer and other serious diseases that could be fatal to the population of the affected four states of the union due to toxic acid rain. Acid rain will be one of the direct consequences of this devastating accident due to the evaporation of the polluted waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN IN HUMANS:
Mr. Chehade explains that Acid Rain looks, feels, and tastes just like clean rain. The harm to people from acid rain is not direct. However, the pollutants that cause acid rain, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) do damage human health. These gases interact in the atmosphere to form fine sulfate and nitrate particles that can be transported by the wind, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles and are inhaled deep into people's lungs. Fine particles can also penetrate indoors. The result is drying of the skin and bacterial infection. This can be unsightly and deadly.
How does Acid Rain affect humans? Many scientific studies have

The Coming Meltdown in Labor Relations

As you may already know, Professor Richard Epstein is not President Obama's biggest fan. Obama favors some economic regulations that Epstein does not. In his Chicago's Best Ideas talk on Tuesday, January 27, Professor Epstein spoke about three proposed laws in the area of labor relations: the Employee Free Choice Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the Paycheck Fairness Act. Epstein spent most of his time on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), so my attention will focus on that law. (Epstein has a column about the Lilly Ledbetter Act on Forbes.com.) The EFCA is an amendment to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

New York, NY – City, labor and religious leaders will honor the memory of Cesar Chavez as well as honor the Justice for Farmworkers Campaign in New York. They will ask the NYS Legislature to support the Farmworkers Fair Labor Practices Act, a Bill that will provide basic labor protections to NYS farmworkers and add to the protection of some of New York’s most vulnerable populations and communities. Farmworkers, most of whom are foreign born, are feeling increasingly threatened in an already unprotected environment. Last year, farmworkers, activists, religious leaders, and students led a 200-mile march from Smithtown, Long Island to Albany, New York to bring attention to this issue. The March culminated in a rally in Albany, which drew hundreds of people who came out in support of farmwork...

Farmworkers across New York State endure long hours of hard physical labor and are exposed to dangerous conditions every day, yet they are excluded from workplace rights afforded by the Fair Labor Standards Act (1938) and the National Labor Relations Act (1935). Their work is crucial to food production, and is the foundation of the state’s multi-billion-dollar agricultural industry. In the Capital District, there are almost 3,500 farms and 587,000 acres of farmland.
