Values Voter Summit 2008 is 'the Place to Be', 7-03-08

It's hard to know whom to trust as the political propaganda heats up. At the Values Voters Summit, family advocates will hear the truth from leaders in the pro-family and pro-life movement.

"This is the place to be this year, a critical year in America as we have a presidential election," Tony Perkins, president of FRC Action, said on a special Focus on the Family Action broadcast today. "We have marriage on the ballot in a couple of states. And it’s all going to come down to this fall.

"We’re doing it a little bit early this year — Sept. 12-14 — so people can come, hear what’s going on, go back home and take action to impact this fall’s election."

In addition to a stellar lineup of speakers — including Chuck Colson, the Rev. Jonathan Falwell, Newt Gingrich, Star Parker, Michael Medved and Phyllis Schlafly — there will be break-out sessions and fresh ideas for grassroots activists.

High Court Takes Hiatus From Judicial Supremacy to Strike Down D.C. Gun Ban, 6-26-08

WASHINGTON, June 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Eagle Forum, a leading pro-family organization founded by Phyllis Schlafly, author of The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It, praises the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling today which overturned the D.C gun ban. The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 18, 2008 after the District of Columbia appealed the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which affirmed that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. The District's 32-year-old ban on handguns and its requirement that guns kept in the home be unloaded or inoperable at all times, even in cases of self-defense, violates that constitutional right. This case marks the first time since 1939 that a Second Amendment case has reached the Supreme Court.

LOST at Sea, 6-20-08

Like a monster in a horror flick franchise, the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), an omnibus treaty originally blocked by President Ronald Reagan, is back! And despite what the doomsday document's delirious spokesmen say, it's about as scary as ever.

The convention is being pushed by a mix of activists, who support international law -- any international law -- and businesses, such as the International Association of Drilling Contractors, that see visions of profits dancing in their boardrooms. Treaty critics are being dismissed as ignorant fools or cynical liars.
