Miss Beth Wants to Help Miracle Also

Cross posted from Wake up America with a huge thanks to Beth from Spree.

Taking a political break here. Taking a look at memeorandum, we on the right, and those on the left, are, as usual, at each others throats.

I propose a break, for just one quick minute. To our corners and lets look at something that isn't an issue for the right, or the left, but something that is just the right thing to do as an American and as a human being.

I don't often visit websites from the other side of the political aisle, but sometimes a title does make me click, so, a huge hat tip to First Draft.

(Miracle's lost home on Dauphine in the Holy Cross District of the Ninth Ward)
Bring Miracle Home.

From First Draft:

Two weeks ago I posted about the Joseph family who lost their Lower 9th Ward home for the second time. Kellie Joseph and her 6 children lost their home to Katrina. The rebuilding of their home was nearly complete when it was tragically destroyed by a fire after someone abandoned a stolen car in their backyard and lit it aflame to destroy evidence. The flames engulfed the home.

A group of Tulane medical students who heard of this devastating news decided to help the family rebuild again and started a website called Hope in Grace for what is called Project: Bring Miracle. Recently the students contacted me. The online donation effort has reached a standstill after some initial local media attention. It is their hope to reach a wider audience through the Internet.

From Project: Bring Miracle Home:

On a fresh late-summer's afternoon of the 22nd of September, 2007, Miracle Lewis came down to New Orleans to see her newly restored room. Miracle's family was rebuilding the home after the house had been filled with ten feet of water and damaged by a massive tree. After being forced out by the storm to Port Allen, LA, and on to Houston, TX, her family had made it a little closer to their goal of returning to their roots by finding temporary-stay housing in Baton Rouge. The gleeful approval in Miracle's eyes after seeing her room on this day, however, was truly a milestone on the soon-to-be-realized path of bringing the family back home.

Early the next morning, however, a cruel turn of events quickly devastated their dreams. Some time during those early morning hours someone had parked a stolen vehicle their backyard, removed the tires, and set the car on fire to presumably destroy any evidence linking the perpetrator to the vehicle. The resulting inferno engulfed the the home, and burned it entirely to the ground. A firefighter was quoted as saying that "the flames were seen from a mile away, that's how intense it was." Hours before, the house was 80 percent complete, and the electricity was scheduled to be turned on the coming Monday. All that remained now was ash.

Miracle, her mother Kellie, and six brothers and sisters have all called the historic Holy Cross neighborhood in New Orleans home for nearly ten years. Her mother had worked their way out of the St. Bernard Housing Project that the family had moved into following the loss of her husband in a motor cycle accident, to become a homeowner in this neighborhood. Determined to give her children the best possible options, she kept them out of trouble, in school and church-related activities, and close to home. After the storm, her children were having a hard time integrating into their new schools, and Kellie quickly realized the need to return her family to the place that defined their being, to New Orleans. This unsettling tragedy severely jeopardized this noble hope.

All is not lost, however. A concerned group of family, friends, and public officials are determined not to let this family's self-evident courage and determination to return to their home base to be irreparably devastated, and plea for you to help them realize their dream of bringing Miracle home.

After losing their home originally in Hurricane Katrina the Joseph family put $138,000 which they received from a Road Home grant towards rebuilding their home and life. This investment was tragically lost in the fire, and unfortunately the maximum they can receive from their insurance to rebuild their home a second time is $12,000. As a consequence, the Joseph family will not have the means to rebuild their house.

A rebuilding fund has been established by State Representative Charmaine Marchand at Capital One that is specifically restricted for use only in reconstruction. If you are interested in contributing to this fund you can make a credit card donation via the ClickandPledge form below, or you can stop by your local Capital One branch and give directly to the Kellie Joseph Rebuilding Fund (account number: 2045630008).

You can Donate here.

If you have a blog, please consider helping this family. If you don't, send some emails around to friends.

Thanks everyone, you can put your boxing gloves on again after you go do something to help these folks.

Fraud At Emory U Updated!

Holy Crow!!

This JUST in from Proprietor Nation in regards to the Emory medical school and medical facility. For the entire article, go here. (you will have to register)

[...]

The Judge in the law suit brought by my guest tonight has had some findings. Tune into the show...this is going to be a hoot!!

They were given 30 days, according to Georgia law, though, according to Kuritzky they took even longer than that, and then according to file no. 06CV2066-1, the judge, Robert J. Castellani, issued his findings.

To item one the finding was

the defendants say they have destroyed these documents, thus, willful spoilation is admitted

To item two

the defendants have not produced all of these documents and there is no excuse for the same not to be produced

to item three

Dr. Zaidan and Dr. Heilpern's email accounts should have these communications even if defendants have destroyed the hard copy from plaintiff's email account, and thus defendants are in contempt

to item 4

the defendants claim all of these documents have been dstroyed, thus,
willful spoilation is admitted

to item 5

there is no excuse for these documents not being produced, thus,
defendants are in willful contempt

to item 6

even if plaintiff's student email account has been deleted by the defendants resulting in willful spoilation, the accounts of others still at Emory should provide these documents

(but didn't)

to item 7

the defendants have failed to produce all communications since plaintiff's
expulsion without excuse

to item 8

each of these individuals received and sent emails from and to plaintiff
and their respective email accounts should have documents requested

to item 9

Emory is shown to have violated its own retention policy

It should be noted that Emory's own retention policy stated that documents must be kept for up to five years depending on the document and thus Emory violated its own policies along with this particular order. While the findings were harsh, the judge didn't actually issue a ruling in the case at that particular time.

Someone is in deep yuck here...

Move America Forward is Going to Berkeley

Listen up California Patriots.

Remember recently when we showed you the illiterate Code Pinko's, the little darlings of the left, defacing a recruiters office, in Berkeley?


Can't even spell when defacing things...sheeeesh.

Well, Move America Forward remembers and they are stepping up to the plate and taking action again.

Snagged from Melanie Morgan, chairman of Move America Forward's, website. (With full permission of course, thank you Melanie)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: Mary Pearson, Deputy Executive Director, Move America ForwardTel: (916) 441-6197 or Email: info@MoveAmericaForward.org

Wednesday, October 17th – Noon:

SHOWDOWN IN BERKELEY:

Move America Forward Organizes Pro-Troop Demonstration to Counter Code Pink Protests & Harassment at Berkeley U.S. Marine Recruiting Office

(SAN FRANCISCO) -- In response to ongoing efforts by the liberal organization, Code Pink, to harass, intimidate and ultimately chase the U.S. military out of the greater San Francisco Bay Area, a patriotic, pro-troop counter demonstration will take place next Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 12:00 Noon at the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in Berkeley, California (located at 64 Shattuck Sq. in Berkeley, CA).

The pro-troop rally is being organized by the northern California-based non-profit group, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), which has grown to become the nation’s largest pro-troop organization.

“We’re sick and tired of the constant attacks against our military personnel here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we’re going to take action to defend the honor and integrity of this nation’s military men and women” said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.

The anti-war and anti-military group, Code Pink: Women for Peace, has been conducting weekly vigil-protests in front of the U.S. Marine Corps recruiting station in Berkeley, CA.

Controversy over the protests came to a head last week when Code Pink protesters took it upon themselves to deface the building and attempt to interfere with Marine Corps recruiters and their ability to do their jobs. Code Pink’s objective is ‘chase’ the Marine Corps, and the military out of Berkeley completely.

In recent media reports, Code Pink advocates are quoted as saying they were “shocked and horrified” that the Marine Corps has a presence in Berkeley and inferring that the Marines prey on children.

Code Pink activists have been caught on video calling Military recruiters ‘traitors’ and harassing Marine Corps Captain Richard Lund while he was just trying to do his job.

Now, Move America Forward and other patriotic Americans from the Bay Area are organizing to defend the integrity of Captain Lund and say THANK YOU to all our brave soldiers who are fighting to protect our freedoms in Iraq and other theatres in the War on Terror.

“Those who have been harassing our men and women in uniform do not even realize that they are attacking that which gives them freedom, security and liberty,” said Melanie Morgan.

Complete Details Online: www.MoveAmericaForward.org

Of course, the left, not liking the fact that patriotic Americans, like Melanie and Move America Forward are stepping up to show our Military the support they deserve are trying their age old tactic of lying, smearing and misrepresenting this counterprotest as well as the last one.

Remember the last event Move America sponsored was a 3,000+ mile trip across the country with 27 rally stops along the way, where not one person on the pro-support the troops side, was arrested versus over 200 anti-war protesters being arrested.

Slander Alert! The Left pulling another 'Phony Soldier' campaign.

Folks,

Move America Forward has been alerted to the anonymous blogger who calls himself 'Spockos Brain" --the same coward who began an advertiser boycott against KSFO Radio in San Francisco, myself, Lee Rodgers, and Brian Sussman over a year ago. He is now posting about how I 'incited violence' at the GOE/EaglesUp/VetsforFreedom rally in Washington, D.C. and how I am "calling for violence" at the counter-demonstration against CodePink at the Berkeley Marine Recruiting Center next Wednesday.

This crackpot with a keyboard is fueling the same folks (Media Matters) who attacked Rush Limbaugh over the 'phony soldiers' story two weeks ago.

http://www.spockosbrain.com/2007/10/what-happens-day-after-they-spill-blood

Deborah Johns, a Blue Star Mom whose son William is standing by for his fourth deployment to Iraq, was defending herself in Washington, D.C.

It is telling that the left continues to back the idea that nobody should protect herself: not America and not a woman attacked by peace protesters with a punch.

Apparently, the Left only feels it is appropriate to strike first, as Al Qaida did on Sept. 11 and as this woman did to Deborah.

Warmest Regards,
Melanie Morgan
KSFO Radio
Chairman, Move America Forward

Keep up with the Details at the Move America Forward website.

Show up, show our military some support and show these Code Pinko's that they will not be allowed to attack out military without true patriots being there to defend them.

If you are near there or are planning to travel there to join in on the 17th, please remember...I WANT PICTURES AND UPDATES DURING THE DAY DAMMIT. (Hint hint Melanie)

(Additional note: Although Move America Forward is not asking for donations, you can help this and other pro-support efforts by donating, if you do not have the means to donate, you can be there, if you cannot be there you can cross post this message and if you do not have a website or blog you can leave it in comment sections to help spread the word to those that can be there--- there is always a way to show your support for our fine, brave military---Susan Duclos)

(Note from Melanie- from email)

Spree's website is the best place for activism news that gets spread around the blogosphere, that's why I am so honored she is posting news about our counter-demonstration against the Code Pink Pepto-Dismal crowd.

The same people who call our troops 'traitors and assassins' are the same people who lie about me over and over again.

I'm a big girl --I can handle it.

But what makes me truly unhinged is when the honor and integrity of the fine young men and women is impugned.

That's why hundreds of people are planning to join up and send a clear message across America and to our troops overseas ---No Blood Slander Of Our Troops! We support you AND your mission!

Thank-you Spree and your readers for getting out the news.
Melanie Morgan

Okay folks...what are we waiting for? Lets get this message out.

Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit that screamed that GWB played on our fears (read emotions) and scared us into war now scares the world into believing the sky is falling.

Algore: We Have Ten Years Left Before Earth Cooks (requires El Rushbo 24/7 member access) 1/27/06

RUSH: Try this one from yesterday's stack. I don't know if you people know this or not, but Al Gore has been out at the Sundance Film Festival out there in Park City, Utah. This is one of Robert Redford's big do's, and apparently Al Gore is working on a movie that -- what is the name of this movie? Oh, that's right, "An Inconvenient Truth," and the movie will document his efforts to raise alarm on the effects of global warming, and so he brought Tipper and the kids out there. He's attending parties and posing for pictures with his fans. He's enjoying macaroni and cheese at the Discovery Channel's soirée. He's palling around with Laurie David of Curb Your Enthusiasm, who is the husband of Larry David, who drives the Prius and then flies the GV. Larry David says, "You know, Al is a funny guy, but he's also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan."

Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about "ten years" it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.

Inaccuracies in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth

The decision by the government to distribute Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth has been the subject of a legal action by New Party member Stewart Dimmock. Although a full ruling has yet to be given, the Court found that the film was misleading in 11 respects and that the Guidance Notes drafted by the Education Secretary’s advisors served only to exacerbate the political propaganda in the film.

In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.

The inaccuracies are:

The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming.

The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.

The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years.

The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.

The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming.

The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.

The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming.

The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.

The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice.

It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.

The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age; the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.

The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching.

The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.

The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously.

The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.

The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting; the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.

The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people.

In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.

The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand.

The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.

Imagine that.

Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit that once upon a time said he wasn't running for President in 2008.

Yes, Al Boy, we are laughing at YOU!
