Mr. President,
"'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.' Today we continue
a never ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities
of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident,
they’ve never been self-executing. That while freedom is a gift from God, it
must be secured by his people here on earth."
The first right mentioned is the right to life. The government and this
administration is denying the right to life to millions through the sanction of
abortion. By a rough calculation I estimate that 20-25% of a projected
population under 40 (without abortion) has died due to abortion. This is using
the 2010 census figures for a total of the population under 40, adding in the
55,000,000 aborted and taking a percentage of those 55,000,000 from that total.
"Together we resolve that a great nation must care for the vulnerable and
protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune." This
administration has continued to pledge its support to destroy the most
vulnerable, the unborn, instead of supporting those organizations which would
nurture both the unborn and their parents through whatever problems they may be
facing. They are out there. See my blog http://tochooselife.blogspot.com/
assembled from a week of book and internet searches.
"Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of
America." Why should God bless a country which blatantly ignores one of His
basic commandments, "Thou Shall NOT Kill"?
A politician, who says that he is Christian, must act on his beliefs in the
policies he proposes, and the fruit of his beliefs is seen in the policies he
proposes. The fruit of your policies is abortion anytime, anywhere, for
whatever reason. I see nothing Christian, or remotely ethical, in that.
