AFA Action Alert on NEA check it out…
This is a must read; freedom is a choice not a directive!!!
This is a must read!! This is a copy of a forwarded email; which should be of interest to all concerned citizens!! Freedom is a choice, not a directive!!
Why does a public paid organization of employees; operate against the will and purpose of the paying citizens?? Education of children should not be against the will of the majority of the parents!! Secret policy and special practices should not be part of the public education system… This is not a total police state yet!!
AFA ActionAlert July 22, 2006Please help us get this information into the hands of as many parents and educators as possible by forwarding it to family, friends and educators.The National Education Association: What Kind Of Organization Is ThisWhich Sets The Agenda For Our Children In Public Schools?Dear Parent, Normally when we send out an email we try to make the message as shortas possible and still make it easy for individuals to understand andtake action. However, this email cannot be short. It deals with theNational Education Association, the organization responsible forsetting the agenda for our children in public schools.Since we are talking about the future of millions of our childrendirectly affected by the NEA, we hope you will study the materialavailable in this email carefully and forward it to others. Everyperson, especially every parent of children in public schools, needsthis information. When we learned about the NEA plans to approve homosexual marriage, wealerted our supporters. Following our making the resolution public,the NEA promptly removed it from their web-site. Our efforts upset NEApresident Reg Weaver so much that he attacked AFA in a speech to the 9,000 delegates at the convention. Background On The NEA To understand why the NEA is more interested in pushing a liberal social agenda than making sure our children can read, write and do math—and why public education is in the mess it is in—please read some background by clicking here. http://afa.net/aa071906_01.aspHere are a few of the actions which the NEA approved at their meetingin Orlando. – NEA overwhelmingly passed a resolution (B 10) endorsing gaymarriages and adoptions in states where they’re legal. Click hereand read the first three paragraphs. http://afa.net/aa071906_02.asp – NEA recommended that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans-gender issuesbe required content for teacher credentialing. (Teachers would beforced to undergo sensitivity training concerning homosexuality beforethey could be certified to teach.) Here is the wording of theresolution: “That NEA advocate for the inclusion of Gay, Lesbian,Bisexual, and Trans-gender issues in the National Council for theAccreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) teacher education programreview process.” NEA has already contacted NCATE about this. – NEA voted to replace the word “tolerance” toward homosexuality with”acceptance and respect” in union policies. The author of NewBusiness Item 52 used this rationale: “We should teach acceptance andrespect, not tolerance, of those who are different from us whereverappropriate.” (The NEA is saying that “tolerance” of the homosexuallifestyle isn’t enough, that homosexuality must be accepted andrespected.) Click Here for more information – http://www.afa.net/AA071906_04.asp- NEA refused to pass an amendment (I 24) designed to protectstudents against sexual misconduct by teachers. The amendment read “Toprotect the rights of all students, the Association believes sexualcontact between education professionals and minor students isunacceptable.” The NEA refused to pass the amendment and referredit back to the Resolutions Committee. Many feel that the NEA refusedto pass the amendment in order to protect teachers who have sex withstudents. NEA Being Less Than HonestThe NEA has been less than honest in dealing with this situation. AndyLinebaugh, a spokesman for the NEA, told Cybercast News Service that”leadership of the NEA has no interest in advancing a position onsame-sex marriage.” To see the entire news release, click here. http://www.afa.net/AA071906_03.aspNEA president Reg Weaver, in a release posted on the website of itsKansas affiliate, said the AFA had engaged in a “malicious e-mailcampaign distorting the facts related to proposed amendment changes.” LikeLinebaugh, he added that “the NEA has no position on same-sexmarriages, and leadership is not seeking to establish such aposition.”On the NEA homepage on July 19, there was a message pertaining to the NEA’s support of homosexual marriage.”A smear campaign launched by the American Family Association asserted that the National Education Association was set to ‘endorse homosexual marriage’ at the 2006 Representative Assembly. Either the group is intentionally misleading the public, or didn’t bother to check their information, but NEA has no plans to endorse same sex marriage and never did.”However, just weeks before the statements by Linebaugh and Weaverdenying that NEA had taken a position, the NEA was a signatory ona letter to U.S. Senators strongly opposing the Federal MarriageAmendment. To see the letter, click here. On the third page you willfind where the NEA signed the letter opposing the Federal MarriageAmendment. So when Linebaugh and Weaver said that the NEA has taken noposition, they are being less than honest. The NEA opposed theconstitutional amendment making marriage legal only between one manand one woman. That is their position as indicated by signing theletter. http://www.afa.net/aa071906_05.pdfThe California Teachers Association, NEA’s largest state affiliate,endorsed homosexual marriage in 2004.

Shortly after theconvention in Orlando, USA Today in an article (July 11, page 9D)reported: “The nation’s largest teachers union has spent more than $8million in a stealth campaign against President Bush’s educationreform law, paying for research and political opposition in an effortto derail it, according to a Washington think tank that supports thelaw…the National Education Association (NEA) has given at least $8.1million to education, civil rights and policy groups that have opposedor criticized No Child Left Behind, Bush’s far-reaching andcontroversial effort to reform public schools.” Many members of the NEA are not aware how the NEA is using their duesto promote left wing politics. They can drop their membership in theNEA and secure many of the same benefits by joining other professionalorganizations which offer the same benefits. The Association ofAmerican Educators is one. You can visit them on the web at http://www.aaeteachers.org. Also, Christian Educators offers many of the same benefits. Their website is http://www.ceai.org.Take Action 1.

What happens everyday?? Well every thing is in a vast cycle… There are what we call ups and downs, in and outs, over and under, just to mention a few …

What we need to understand is that there is not any magic or reset button in life to just do it over again; if it does not turn out like we like it!! DUH!!

So get ready for the real world; you are fortunate if you have some nice things, a good job, a warm family, and many of the so called good things in life… But there is not any guarantee that you will have any of these tomorrow or the next day!! Well why try you ask or is this some sort of demented dream?? Not exactly; this is the absolute truth… Most people do not know or want to know the absolute truth!!

If you look at what is happening in the Middle East right, and what has happened recently with the Islam Terrorist groups, then you may begin to get the true picture of what can happen tomorrow or in the not too distance future…

There are people who only have one place for you that is dead or gone from the face of the earth!! Sorry to have to be so blunt; but that is exactly how some of these people feel about you!! Don’t get all hysterical or go off the deep end with some weird actions… Just sit down and think what would you do if most everything you know or have was suddenly gone tomorrow??

This not to say that everyone will have a mass destruction tomorrow, but it is possible for some people… Some more than others, and the problem is we can not tell with much accuracy who, when or where… This is true of the governments, churches, and other groups in the world today… It is not that they do not want to know or be able to predict the future!! It is just impossible to know with any real certain knowledge exactly what will happen!! So we must think on this so if by some chance does happen to you; at least you have any idea about what kind of reaction to have…

This is not to point out any group or person; as to what will happen: it is just a primer as to what could happen and how we should attempt to react to any such emergency!! We should always try to have some even vague idea of how to respond to an abrupt change in your life… It has happened and will happen again to people…

This is an attempt to get you out of your rut, and thinking about what could happen… Most people have no idea; so they will be over whelmed and totally defeated, if when any such happens… This is an attempt to get you to at least consider and think about you could or would do; if and when something really drastic happens in your life!! HUH!!

So don’t go cry in the corner; sit down and talk to friends, co-workers, family, or anyone as to what life is about and then think about the ultimate question we all must answer!! Where will you spend Eternity?? This is not a scare tactic, or some weird prank, this is part of being human and understanding what our state of being means!! You are you, and will exist some where for Eternity as a being!! Just try to get your mind around what you will do if and when some drastic event happens in your life!!

We can discuss this in more detail; this is just a brief brain boot camp drill!! How well you respond will determine how well you survive in the furture… See you on another blog about the Absolute Truth, Some Wisdom and Intercourse…

Can check out some blogs and newsletter articles on www.simplytruth.com…

Hope is in your future; so keep a positive attitude and be real with yourself… All that you have and see here will be gone in the flash of a second;http://www.simplytruth.com the moment you are called or sent into Eternity!! Get ready!! You will take only your memories from this earthly existence!!
Your soul and spirit will go on into Eternity… You will be reunited with your body later… So think about your life; Friend!! This is the Absolute Truth!!

Kermit

What a view!! This is a reason to think and write!!

I would like to know the answer to life… HUH!! Well it is not just a thought it is a reality… But it will be answered when we move into the Eternity to come… Eternity is where all questions will be answered and you will understand everything, friend…

So until then we will just keep getting one piece of the puzzle at a time… It is like standing out side a great ballroom; where a grand party is going on… But you can only see into the ballroom through a crack in a door… You catch glimpses of people dancing and hear music floating from the room; yet you can not really see all that is happening… So you form an opinion based on a very limited glance of a far larger party… This door will one day be opened to you and then you will be allowed inside and enjoy all there is to know about the proceedings… All the mystery Will be gone and your questions answered… Just think of this in connection to your present life and the future Eternity….
