Miscellaneous Information

Rallies Held for Second Amendment
Across the country, rallies were held for the Second Amendment or Gun Appreciation Day over the weekend. Alan Scholl, Executive Director at FreedomProject Education, attended and spoke at one in Madison, Wis. He reports that between 800 and 1,000 attended.
 
According to his online account, he wrote, "I was blessed with the opportunity to give the opening prayer, and later spoke for approximately 10 minutes on the uniqueness and value of our rapidly growing new school, FreedomProject Education. I was able to address the key importance of teaching the Constitution to America's youth, and the critical role of the 2nd Amendment in maintaining freedom."
 
"Later I returned to the podium a third time to speak briefly on the realities of protecting our children from attack, the glaring discrepancy between the attacks on unarmed innocents in so-called 'gun free zones' while under government 'protection,' and the contrasting results of citizens in similar situations who have the advantage and the value of self-defense, training and gun ownership and possession in the same situations."
 
Have you checked out FPE lately? In addition to their online Pre-K to 12 curriculum, adults can enjoy ongoing education with on-campus or online classes. 


January 22: 40 Years After Roe v. Wade
Pro-life events are planned across the country in the marking of the 40 years of abortion that have resulted in the killing of more than 50 million babies.
 
The largest of these events occurs every year in Washington, DC. March for Life draws huge numbers (400,000 last year), but how many news reports have you seen about it? Our news magazine has covered it in the past and will cover it, and other pro-life events, yet again this year.
 
To finally help save the unborn, Congress would need to act. Rep. Ron Paul's H.R. 958, which he introduced each year since at least 2004, would restore the rights of the states to regulate abortion. States would have a much easier time protecting the unborn than waiting for the Supreme Court to become more conservative. Talk to your Congressmen today to have them introduce something similar.
