Election Infiltration and Here Comes Paul Revere!
Election Infiltration
Here Comes Paul Revere!
Some Shocking Realizations
Let's put the shocking news bluntly:
Primaries and the binding of delegates, which media pundits are presently analyzing agonizingly, are not democratic necessities in elections, but may actually be harmful to the democratic process, making it uber-susceptible to manipulation.
Primaries and the binding of delegates have been introduced illegitimately into RNC rules by progressives, in order to hijack the Republican Party. This quasi-militaresque infiltration of the Republican Party by liberals been ongoing for several decades now, pretty much under the radar. It resulted in the nomination of Mitt Romney, to the dismay of millions of conservative Republicans in 2012.
Now this infiltration is being challenged by a modern day Patriot who is as determined and as courageous as was Paul Revere in 1775, as he rode across the country warning the Colonies that the "British were coming."
As the new Paul Revere exposes the truth and suggests possible remedies, we must all decide whether to heed his alarm or whether to let progressives continue their take over of the Republican Party.
BTW: Don't blame the Republicans
later if you don't lift a finger
to help their conservative contingent during the present battle.
Have You Lost Your Marbles, or is this the Story of the Century?
Now some will want to question the sanity of the above suggestion- that Republicans have been succumbing to grand scale election manipulation by outsiders for several decades -but give this a paragraph or two more, and see what your common sense tells you after that.
Most conservatives will willingly acknowledge that liberals have slowly and clandestinely penetrated many other crucial elements of our society, from universities, to Hollywood, to the media. Examples of clandestine infiltration of one's enemy can be also be seen throughout history- from the Trojan Horse stories of 11th century BC to the widespread infiltration of political movements today. Reports abound of Alinsky tactics used by today's progressives, which include detailed instructions on the infiltration of opponents with intention to disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize conservatives.
In the present political climate, with the President of the United States enforcing laws selectively, with Supreme Court Justices overriding the will of the American people on the definition of marriage and on ObamaCare, with elected Republicans abandoning conservative platform values and chumming up and selling out to the opposition, with Secretaries of State committing grossly dangerous national security email violations and a socialist candidate who is just one opponent's FBI indictment away from becoming a major contender in the US Presidential race, is it really so unreasonable to consider whether a decades- long monumental hijacking of Republican nominations has taken place by clandestine liberals, and whether true conservatives who actually support the (still-conservative) Republican Platform are on the brink of losing the Republican Party altogether?
Are You Sold? Or At Least Curious?
Then Read On…
If you are prepared to accept the possible infiltration of the Republican Party's nomination process by progressives in recent decades, and want to hear what our modern day Paul Revere has to say about what he has unearthed and what can be done about it, read on.
So Who Is This "Paul Revere?" and later, What is He Saying?
Who is raising the alarm on the infiltration of the Republican presidential nomination process?
Our modern "Paul Revere" is Curly Haugland, a member of the Republican "Establishment."
"Aha!" you say- "Establishment Republican!" "One of those nefarious people trying to thwart the wishes of the American people, who are trying to sneak in Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio or John Kasich into the Republican convention!"
Actually, NO.
Crucial Fact #1:
In the presently very conflicted Republican Party, there are "Establishment" members on both sides of the conflict- conservative and progressive. Do not assume that "Establishment Republicans" are all out to nominate a progressive candidate – some of them are on the opposite team.
There are two kinds of "Establishment" Republicans.
Read on carefully to see how you can help the conservative ones.
Hint: You do not NOT help the conservative ones by lumping them in with the progressives and dismissing them as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are on the verge of recommending!
Curly Haugland is as conservative as they come– he wrote GOP Field Must Use 2016 to Force Conservative Primary Reform for Breitbart in December of 2015.
This bears repeating- Use 2016 to Force Conservative Primary Reform!
Curly Haugland is an unbound delegate, a senior GOP official. He is a national committeeman of the North Dakota Republican State Committee, from 2004 to the present. He is President of the North Dakota Policy Council, from 2006 to the present. He was on the RNC Rules Committee since 2009, and was RNC State Chairman for the North Dakota GOP from 1999-2001. He has the common "humble American can make it good" story that so many of us have and that inspires so much love for the Constitution and for the United States in all of us.
So What Did Curly Say?
Curly said he has found hard evidence that Republican delegates are ALL unbound, and are all free to vote their conscience at the Republican Convention in Cleveland in July.
Curly announced his findings in a letter to the RNC.
Not one member of the GOP, not even Chairman Reince Priebus, has contradicted Curly's findings so far.
Curly states in his letter:
Binding delegates to the results of presidential preference primaries first appeared in the Rules of the Republican Party in 1976. ….. And, 1976 was also the last time delegates have been bound by convention rules to cast their votes according to the results of binding primary elections………"Select, allocate and bind. The fraudulent addition of these three words to the Rules of the Republican Party in the 2008 Convention, as detailed in Chapter One, is the political equivalent of "spinning straw into gold". Without the use of force to bind the votes of delegates to the results of the primary process, primaries are nearly worthless "beauty contests".
So Curly has produced the hard evidence showing that the "binding" provision was added to the RNC Rules fraudulently, and that Republican delegates were only "bound" for one Republican convention in 1976.
All the rest has been smoke and mirrors, with progressive infiltrators of the Republican Party trying to use "binding" to obtain control over the Republican nomination process for several decades.
The Corollary
A corollary is something that follows unavoidably and logically from a given fact.
So what follows unavoidably and logically from Curly's fact finding that Republican delegates are not bound?
What follows, is that all this talk of bound delegates, committed delegates, plurality and majority of votes, "winner take all" and most importantly, of 1237 delegates and "presumptive nominee" is just that – talk. And speculation.
If all delegates are free, it's impossible to know whether anybody has 1237 delegates until the first vote at he Convention has been cast.
The corollary is that the Republican Party selects their nominee for President at the Convention, and not during the Primaries. The Primaries are advisory in nature, and give the Party an opportunity to see and to consider what the public thinks.
But the Primaries are not binding in any way on the Republican Party.
That Sounds Like They're Trying to Get Rid of Trump!
The facts that Curly Haugland has found are just historical facts and rules.
Those facts may be used by many people for many purposes.
Curly Haugland started his search for facts way before Donald Trump was ever thought to be a serious candidate.
Curly Haugland was actually searching for information on following one's own conservative conscience when your party is besieged by progressives.
These Facts Might Make it Possible for Conservatives to Take Back the Republican Party with an "Outsider" like Ben Carson, or Carly Fiorina.
These new findings, that State delegates still have the rights that our American system first gave them, the same rights that Senators and Representatives and General Election Electors have, the rights that counterbalance the primaries (which are often very skewed by voter fraud and by deep pocketed donors)- Curly's finding that delegates are permitted to use their common sense and conscience to ensure that candidates are faithful to the Republican Party Platform, are very exciting.
These findings open new doors for nominating very conservative candidates — candidates like the 65% conservative Republican candidates who first ran with Donald Trump, and who were eliminated by the primary money game, while 65% of American voters were still backing them. The conservative voters of America should not be punished for the fact that so many conservative candidates came forward.
In fact, Curly, as a member of the Rules committee, will be proposing a Rule change to return more power to the Convention, where the delegates from 50 States and the territories represent the wishes of the States (as opposed to the Primaries, which often reflect the depth of the pockets of candidates).
Curly is proposing the reversal of the Mitt Romney Rule change of 2012, which allowed liberal Mitt Romney to kick conservative Ron Paul out of the Convention before it even started. Curly's new proposed rule allows any candidate who won any delegates in the State primaries to enter the Convention, so candidates with shallow pockets and no wealthy donors (like Ben Carson) are not punished at the outset.
God Bless Donald Trump's Heroic Heart, He May Still Win- But Even The Donald has to Follow the Age-Old Rules
It is still premature to nominate Donald Trump, until it can be demonstrated at the Convention that he has won 51% of the Republican vote.
The entire history of the United States, starting with Federal elections and continuing with political party rules, is based on arriving at a candidate who has 51% of the people behind him or her.
This design is crafted very purposefully and carefully, to ensure that candidates are not punished when many people run, and to ensure that our nation is not governed by someone whom 65% of the nation does not want.
When there is a legitimate 51% backing of one candidate in the nation, that candidate is nominated.
But this year, with 17 candidates, the conservative vote was split between as many as 16 candidates. Just because Donald Trump got one third of the nation behind him does not mean that the conservative voters whose candidates dropped out will back Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, no matter how loud he sells his case, must follow the rules.
And those rules have always been that if a person does not get 51% of the vote, or 1237 delegates, that person has to run off at the convention against other candidates, to give the people a final say.
And now we find out that the 1237 cannot be counted before the first ballot at the Convention.
This may not even be an issue, unless Donald Trump actually gets 1237 votes– but even then, who gets to estimate the number of delegates?
Aren't the RINOS going to Take Advantage of the Brokered Convention?
Yes, there will be some RINO progressive "establishment" types who may try to use these findings to their advantage, to re-introduce people like Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney or even Paul Ryan at a brokered convention.
But there will also be CONSERVATIVE "establishment" types like Curly, people who were elected and sent by their States, people who represent voters, not the Washington Republican elites, conservatives who are just as determined to reclaim the Republican Party and to stick to it's still-conservative platform.
The Battle MUST Be Fought
This battle between the progressive and conservative Republicans MUST be fought out at the Convention, and it is wrong for Donald Trump, and the media, including Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, to declare that Donald Trump represents the will of the people when he does not have a majority, and thus to hand control of the Republican Party over prematurely to someone like Donald who is only partially conservative and who may not support the "social" conservative aspects of the Republican Party Platform, which represent the Judeo-Christian values that most of us Americans professes to hold.
Isn't Curly Cheating Donald Trump of a Legitimate Win?
No, Curly is not cheating Donald Trump of anything.
Neither Donald Trump, nor some voters, nor Rush Limbaugh, nor Sean Hannity, seem to realize that there is a big difference between a plurality and a majority, that Donald does not have the majority, he just has the plurality, and that there are whole fields of mathematics and political science which calculate the fairest way to run off competing candidates in an election. Those principles have been incorporated into our General Election Rules, into the RNC Rules, and into Roberts Rules of Order which governs the RNC. We need to continue following those rules in 2016.
Shame on Some
One alarming aspect of the 2016 Election is that some very big players have not only failed to do their homework and to understand the rules of the game, but they have also recently started discussing "riots" and "violence" if the 35% of Americans who support Donald Trump do not instantly get their way.
Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity have referred to the "riots" that they claim will result if Donald Trump does not get the Republican nomination. Suggestion of riots by such nationally known figures are tantamount to inciting of riots, and shame on Donald, shame on Rush, and shame on Sean for abusing their status and talking this way.
Those of us who are fair-minded may be happy to vote for a President Trump in November, but we don't like to see our conservative colleagues using the left's Alinsky scare tactics, nor do we want to be deprived of the chance that a brokered convention could very legitimately produce a staunch conservative President like the ones produced by two other brokered conventions – Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
Aren't Republicans Trying to Thwart the Will of the People?
Some May Be, But Some are Trying to Win Back the Conservative Platform
These developments do not mean that the Republican Party is thwarting the will of the people.
In fact, they would be out of business pretty quickly if they tried to thwart the will of the people, as evidenced by the disillusionment of the electorate with the nomination of Mitt Romney in 2012.
Yes, there is a civil war going on in the Republican Party between conservatives and progressive infiltrators, but progressives have won only a few battles, and many conservatives are not giving up the fight.
So why should we give up the battle before it has even started?
Watching Reince Priebus sweating out a stuttered answer about Curly's claims on Sean Hannity yesterday is all we need to know, to gauge our chances of success in reclaiming conservatism through a brokered convention.
Don't let the fear-mongers push us into premature nominations!
May God bless and guide America!

NSA Spying and French Republicans – Any Connection?
What's a "French Republican?"
"French Republicans" is a term coined recently to describe Republicans who appear to act like Democrats.
These conflicted individuals are also referred to as "Establishment," "Republican in Name Only" (RINO), and "Country-Club Republicans."
Speaker of the House Boehner is one example of this group; elected to oppose ObamaCare, yet seemingly unwilling to support the de-funding of ObamaCare. He seems to have abandoned Republican values in favor of playing golf with President Obama.
There has recently been a rash of such abandonment of conservative values among Republicans, resulting in a serious split in the Republican party. A split so serious that many serious conservatives are considering abandoning the Republican party altogether, and are considering extreme measures such as U.S. citizens overriding their Senate and their Congress, using Article V of the US Constitution. (Details at Political Puzzle Pieces Falling into Place.)
Motivations of "French Republicans"
Some imply that "French Republicans" fail to fight for conservative values because they don't want to risk their comfortable, elegant, luxurious, "French" Washington positions and lifestyles.
The name "French Republican" could also refer to the relative failure of the French Revolution, which failed to achieve its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath. The French Revolution quickly gave way to the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, and new despots replaced old despots. So the term could also refer to the disastrous strategy of continual compromise that is now being used by "French Republicans."
Possible New Motivation
Today, the Wall Street Journal revealed a much broader National Security Agency (NSA) Surveillance Reach than previously acknowledged.
This recent climate of government scandal,which has exposed the extent of government spying on innocent US citizens without warrant, combined with the Obama administration's growing reputation for the use of intimidation and "Chicago tactics," now makes it reasonable to wonder whether there could be a connection between NSA spying and "French Republicans."
In other words, we wonder whether "French Republicans" could be acting "French" not because they want a spoiled lifestyle, nor because they fail to recognize that continual compromise is a bad policy, but because they or their families are being blackmailed and/or threatened by a corrupt Obama administration.
The NSA is monitoring 75% of all internet traffic!

Political Puzzle Pieces Falling into Place
Political Surprises
We've been seeing a high
frequency of political surprises in
recent months and years.
Turnarounds that were really not expected.
A number of outcomes that stymied the predictions of political pundits, leaving everyone scratching their heads.
But things happen for a reason, and that reason may not always be immediately clear.
However, in time, with faith, the meaning emerges.
What Political Surprises?
What surprises?
Shocking reversals.
In recent news, apparently enough votes have been obtained in the Republican-dominated House to pass the Immigration Bill, despite the fact that most conservatives oppose any legislation that does not prioritize securing the border first, and despite the fact that a CBS poll
Shocking Reversals
shows that 56% of Americans want the border secured before a path to citizenship is established for illegal immigrants.
Only 37% of Americans want "status of illegal immigrants" addressed before the border is secured.
So Republicans appear to be pushing for what Obama wants in opposition to what voters want.
Conservatives Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan have been pushing the Immigration Bill, despite conservative objections to the Bill, as well. These are very unexpected and puzzling developments.
These surprises are not the first.
There was Bart Stupak's catastrophic reversal on abortion in ObamaCare (along with 11 other Democrats) in 2010.
There was Justice Roberts' unexpected ruling on the Constitutionality of ObamaCare (2013).
Obama's 2009 Alice-in-Wonderland Halloween Party
-Curiously prophetic
There was the chaotic bulldozing of the Republican nomination in August 2012, during which John Boehner made an apparently intentional bad call on a rule change vote, enabling the nomination of Mitt Romney and the elimination of other candidates. Boehner's vote call was clearly erroneous, and Boehner was booed.
Aside: American politics ironically begins to resemble the upside-down room from Alice in Wonderland. Was the White House's secret 2009 Halloween Costume Ball, held while America sank into recession, actually more of a policy announcement? The extravagant "over-the-top" Hollywood-created party followed a $4 million Hawaii vacation for the First Family, during a year in which Michelle Obama spent $10 million on vacations.
Back to shocking reversals-
How about the Supreme Court ruling in June of 2013 striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)? What was Justice Roberts' role in that? What implications will that ruling have?
So many conservatives are falling into scandals and out of office- Herman Cain, General Petraeus, General Powell…
A comprehensive list of recent examples would exhaust my resources and the reader's patience!
Magic Political Potion?
John Boehner……..or Harry Reid?
It's like there was a virus going around that turned conservatives progressive, or a magic potion that Obama has which makes people do his bidding.
Are Chicago-style persuasion tactics at work?
Putting Together the Pieces
Snowden's recent revelations about systematic NSA snooping on citizens without warrant, and IRS involvement in the harassing and suppression of conservative groups, combined with the growing number of other Obama administration scandals, is revealing that the comprehensive amassing of detailed information on American citizens, as well as strong-arming, have become routine practices used by the Obama adminstration. The pursuit and attack of consevatives by liberals has been implemented to an exhaustive degree, down to small individuals like me, whose conservative website was under D0S (DDoS) attack for the third time this summer by "unknown" sources.
These surfacing facts paint a picture of an extremely active left wing "culture" very busy implementing illegal and unethical Alinsky tactics in an underground war against democracy and against Judeo-Christian ethics.
Massive amounts of data are being collected about innocent Americans, and are being stored in immense facilities in Utah, with Obama administration assurances that the information will not be mined or used except for national security.
Yet abuse of this informaion is apparently almost routine, as the NSA breaks privacy rules thousands of times every year.
Meanwhile, all of Obama's opponents are surprisingly reversing their positions or falling like flies. scandal
Is there a connection?
In this Benghazi scandal–IRS scandal (Internal Revenue Service)-NSA scandal (National Security Agency)-DOJ scandal (Department of Justice) –DHS scandal (Department of Homeland Security) scandal climate, the picture emerging is one of indiscriminate and unethical abuse of power of historical proportions by members of the Obama administration.
The Ideology
What radical "progressives" cannot achieve by democracy, they seem determined to get by hook or by crook, or by Alinsky tactics.
Left wing ideology is so important and so faultless in the radical narcissistic mind, that it justifies sacrificing law, order and democracy, to achieve desired results.
This radical philosophy espouses "the ends justify the means (consequentialism), a classic error made by narcissists and totalitarians throughout history.
This method is in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ and of Judaism, and is in opposition to any absolute moral code, like the Ten Commandments or the Constitution of the United States.
New Modus Operandi (Method of Operation)
In this Gangster Government climate, it becomes eminently reasonable to suspect the dishonest Obama administration, with it's ever-expanding list of agencies and czars, of simply dipping into the Utah treasury of information every time it needs to "persuade" an opponent.
Most people, even good people, have made a mistake or two in their lives which they do not want publicized, and if they have not, their child or their spouse or their grandmother probably have. That failing, evidence can be planted, accusations can be manufactured, and lies can be constructed. All is fair under Alinsky tactics or under totalitarian rule.
What Can an Ethical Population Do to Combat Such Tactics and This Level of Corruption?
One previous challenge of this magnitude and nature was the Soviet Union dominating and abusing its citizens with iron hand and iron curtain, utilizing the KGB as enforcers, and making desperate attempts to eradicate the power of religion in the 20th century.
And it was religion that brought down the Soviet Union.
Religion, plus transparency.
It was Catholic Poland's Solidarity, Catholic Pope John Paul the Great, and Christian Evangelical Ronald Reagan, who brought down the Soviet empire virtually without violence and without battle through what TIME magazine called a Holy Alliance.
The transparency was provided by communications; in the internet era, real-time video of Soviet government atrocities such as the crushing of 11 Lithuanian citizens by Soviet tanks kept the autocrats accountable for their actions. Reports of these events echoed across the globe in real time, with reports appearing in local American news.
The Missing Link- Redefining How We Approach Politics describes in more detail a philosophy which brings God into politics, allows good men to tap into the power of religion, and allows battles to be won relatively peacefully.
Point: The battle against the Soviets was not won by using Soviet tactics.
The solution, the key to the puzzle, is simple:
Don't use the enemy's tactics
Use religion and use transparency
Religion: Aim for justice, stick to the rules, follow your conscience, and ask God for help and for guidance.
Transparency: Use modern communications to keep your opponents accountable
In 2013, the victory is likely to be surprising, as it was with the Soviet Union:
It will be a surprise, like many victories in history.
It could involve a restructuring of the Republican party, to return to true Judeo-Christian conservative values.
It could involve a third party which suddenly receives surprising support from a nation that has been burnt enough by 8 years of Imperial rule and by several years of unfolding Obama administration scandals and ObamaCare catastrophies.
It could involve something completely unexpected, like the unorthodox but constitutional use of Article V of the Constitution, to amend the Constitution via state legislatures, circumventing the now-corrupt Senate and Congress, as suggested by Mark Levin, whose book The Liberty Amendments, just shot to #1 bestseller on Amazon this week.
And, of course, it most probably will involve an as-yet-unimagined mechanism that exists only in the mind of God, and not in our minds at this point in time.
Already Accomplished
What has already been accomplished?
America has galvanized and joined to oppose the greatest injustice ever tolerated in this country, which has killed the largest number of people in American history (54 million) – abortion. Now, through tremendous public involvement and prayer, progress is finally being made toward reversing the killing of 1/3 of our children. A nation that kills it's own children cannot prosper. The year 2013 marks 40 years of that killing, and it is time for the killing to end.
The unraveling of the crooked and imperial Obama administration's reputation has begun, and continues every day. Obama's approval rating has slipped from 64% in 2009 to 41% today.
Even the Republican Party, which gets the main modern issue, abortion, right, but neglects other important Judeo-Christian values, is undergoing an internal struggle which may (or may not) purge it of its recent ineffective spinelessness.
Predicting the Outcome
All predictions are tentative and are subject to the test of history.
But we have great faith in God, and today we see Americans returning increasingly to prayer and to Judeo-Christian values.
I don't believe that God will allow Godless progressives who idolize indiscriminate promiscuity and the killing of children, to triumph.
I believe that God will help good people to win.
The victory will undoubtedly, like the victory over the Soviet Union, reflect the quiet, surprising, and powerful signature of God's assistance, who is ever at our side, leading us quietly.
The victory could also, like David's victory over Goliath, and like the parting of the Red Sea, be spectacular and miraculous.
From the Bible:
Incidentally, today in the United States we have more than the 50 righteous people Abraham refers to in his negotiation with the Lord (Genesis 18:23.)
Excerpts from the Liturgy of the Hours for August 13th, 2013:
Lord, how I love your law!
It is ever in my mind.
Your command makes me wiser than my foes;
for it is mine for ever.
I have more insight than all who teach me
for I ponder your will.
I have more understanding than the old
for I keep your precepts.
I turn my feet from evil paths
to obey your word.
I have not turned from your decrees;
you yourself have taught me.
Your promise is sweeter to my taste
than honey in the mouth.
I gain understanding from your precepts
and so I hate false ways.
Arise, O Lord, and defend your cause.
Remember this, Lord, and see the enemy scoffing;
a senseless people insults your name.
Do not give Israel, your dove, to the hawk
nor forget the life of your poor ones for ever.
Remember your covenant; every cave in the land
is a place where violence makes its home.
Do not let the oppressed return disappointed;
let the poor and the needy bless your name.
Arise, O God, and defend your cause!
Remember how the senseless revile you all the day.
Do not forget the clamour of your foes,
the daily increasing uproar of your foes.

The IRS is finally getting around to issuing guidance around some of the tax law changes enacted last December. A recent revenue procedure gives guidance for corporations that change their tax status from S to C. It also gives guidance on both required and voluntary changes in their method of accounting from cash basis to accrual. Given the number of clients considering a change in their tax status due to the new tax law, this guidance will be crucial.
How Much Money is Your Business Throwing Away in Duplicate Payments?

In the ministry we often meet others who come to us and share a testimony about someone we have come in contact with. Here is a letter that we would like to share with you. Jeannia is someone who had a lot of community support. That makes a big difference in the lives of men and women during and after incarceration.
I feel like I have to share this with any and everyone who loves the Lord and that go out of their way to help others in need.
I had the honor of meeting Ithiel and Irish Jones a couple of weeks ago in the restaurant I manage. I felt I already knew them because of an employee of ours. Jeannia had worked for us earlier in her life and came back with us a couple of years ago. She got into some trouble and ended up in jail then on to prison for several months. While she was at the Pickens County jail, she met the Joneses when they came to minister to the cellmates.
Jeannia as well as others there were in jail for something that occurred 4 years prior. She had straightened her life out. She was straight and working steadily with us at the barbecue restaurant. It was so hard on her being in jail when she had done so good for so long. She felt like her life was worth more and that she herself was more worthy than before when she found herself in jail. I know all this because I kept in close contact with Jeannia during this difficult time. I went to see her and kept my phone where she could call me anytime. I tried to make myself available to her when she needed me.
One day Jeannia told me about going to a service there in jail that was lead by the Joneses. I could tell a difference in Jeannia after their visits. She looked forward to them ministering and their help. She always told me when their next visit would be. They left spiritual materials with them and Jeannia always enjoyed reading them. She herself told me how it helped her to hear the scriptures realizing that God was always there for her and would never leave her. I feel she gained strength and hope through the visits that the Joneses made there to the jail. I saw her go from a fearful, weak person to a stronger, hopeful and determined person. I have to say, "Thank God" for people like the Joneses that dedicate their time and love for the Lord to help others that might otherwise never know the Lord or have self-esteem.
P.S. I have to add that Jeannia is working full time with us -- 4 days a week -- long hours and is doing great. She lives with her parents, who are Christian people and she is straight. I am so proud of her -- I love her and support her -- we all do here. I feel that the Joneses and their help has made this all easier for Jeannia. Our future always looks brighter with the Lord in our lives.
The restaurant owner held Jeannia's job for her while she was incarcerated, they visited her in jail and prison. They put money on the books for her, but most of all they were there for her. Can you imagine what would happen if we had more individuals who would get involved in the life of inmates and follow them through the system? The rehabilitation of inmates that we speak of could be a reality.
We appreciate everything that you have done during the year to make it possible for us to carry the Gospel to inmates, ex-offenders and their families. Thank you.

American Wildlife Conservation Partners Hosts Summer Meeting, Celebrates Johnny Morris' Conservation Legacy

Last week, the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP), a consortium of 50 of the nation's top hunting, recreational shooting, professional societies, and other conservation organizations hosted its annual summer meeting.
At the meeting, AWCP honored Johnny Morris, founder and CEO of Bass Pro Shops, for his unwavering commitment to fish and wildlife conservation, our hunting traditions, and his dedication to America's sportsmen and women.
During the meeting, Taylor Schmitz, CSF's Assistant Director, Federal Relations, was elected to serve as the Vice Chair of AWCP, effective January 2023.
Why It Matters: AWCP is a coalition of 50 national wildlife conservation groups that collaborate on national policy issues for the betterment of professional wildlife and natural resource management, as well as outdoor recreation, including hunting and recreational shooting. Every four years, AWCP publishes a set of recommendations known as Wildlife for the 21st Century (W21) that is developed by the member groups to address pressing issues within the conservation community and provides science-based recommendations and guidance to the federal administration and future Congresses.
Last week, the American Wildlife Conservation Partners hosted its annual summer meeting to discuss sporting-conservation policies facing sportsmen and women, and honored Bass Pro Shops Founder and CEO, Johnny Morris, for his unmatched commitment to conservation.
"The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation is immensely grateful for the commitment of Johnny Morris and his family in their efforts to conserve our natural resources and promote our hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting heritage," said Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation President and CEO Jeff Crane. "Johnny exemplifies what it means to be a true leader in the sporting-conservation community, and CSF is proud to join our AWCP partners to recognize his unparalleled contributions to our outdoor heritage."
AWCP also released a mid-term report outlining the status of priorities identified in the 2020 Wildlife for the 21st Century Report. The mid-term report highlights the landmark conservation victories including the Great American Outdoors Act, the America's Conservation Enhancement Act, and other legislative and administrative victories that enhance our outdoor sporting heritage. Additionally, the report outlines outstanding priorities that will be the focus of AWCP into the future.
During the meeting, AWCP elected CSF's Taylor Schmitz to serve as AWCP Vice Chair, to be effective January 2023. In this role, Taylor will help guide the policy priorities of AWCP and work with diverse AWCP members to advance policies to benefit sportsmen and women.
