Calling the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) to a Higher Standard!

CALL FOR ACTION!!!

Calling the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC)
to a Higher Standard!

Please read this background and then sign and send the email below to UMKC officials.

Two groups, Culturally Speaking and Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, on the UMKC campus are sponsoring a talk by Norman Finkelstein on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 and are allegedly supported by UMKC funds. Finkelstein is a notorious Jewish-born, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel Holocaust detractor who, in 2007, was rejected from receiving a tenured academic appointment at DePaul University. Previously he had been fired by NYU and Hunter College because of anti-Semitic writings that did not meet minimal academic standards.
Thus far UMKC has not taken any action to prevent this controversial event from taking place on its campus under the guise of defending `freedom of speech`.
Even if the scheduled talk by Dr. Finkelstein will be completely benign and apolitical, contrary to all expectations, the track record of his extreme anti-Jewish and anti-Israel views, expressed in his books, articles and lectures, should have been sufficient for the UMKC academic administration to deny this speaker a university funded forum on its campus.

Maryland - petition drive - send the new "in-state tuition for illegals" law to referendum

Please help get the approximately 50,000 signatures of registered Maryland voters needed to force referendum on the new in-state tuition law. Before this year's legislative session, social conservatives were told by GOP leaders to keep quiet about devisive social issues, because the legislature needed to focus on jobs, jobs, jobs. I didn't notice the Democrats lighten up on their rush to redefine our society, however. One of the bills that was passed this year by our state legislature provides that students who are here ilegally are nonetheless eligible for in-state tuition rates at our public colleges and universities.

Here in Maryland, any new law passed by legislative bodies can be put to referendum if enough voters in the jurisdiction sign petition to do so. There's a time limit on submitting the petition. We need 56,000 valid signatures submitted by the last day of June, with at least 19,000 of them submitted by last day of May.

The requirements for this type of petition are a bit different than the petitioning we've been doing to get Maryland Independent Party recognized by the state. Our party petition can be easily printed on a single side of a piece of paper. The referendum petition requires double-sided printing, so that each signature sheet has the text of the bill being challenged.

I encourage all Marylanders to help this petition drive. And it presents a great opportunity to get your AIP precinct caucus started up, too, where you can pass around signature sheets for the referendum petition as well as the Maryland Independent Party petition (we need only 10,000 signatures for that one).

The organizers of the referendum petition have clearly put a lot of thought into how to succeed. They plan to have a web-based system in place by Tuesday to make it easy for families to ensure that their signatures will be considered valid, by using voter registration database to print out a signature sheet with the names exactly as registered. Many signatures have been disallowed in recent years because of failure of signer to provide name exactly matching the registered name (if you are registered as John C. Smith, for example, it's not considered valid if you write John Smith or John Christopher Smith).

The referendum petition website has petition forms for download and much more information, including talking points about why the new law is objectionable. http://www.mdpetitions.com

The petition form for getting Maryland Independent Party recognized is available at http://www.MarylandIndependentParty.org

Thanks to Delegate Neil Parrott of Washington County for organizing the petition drive. Thanks also to Delegate Pat McDonough of Baltimore County for his leadership on this referendum. And a special thanks to the folks at Help Save Maryland for publicizing the petition drive as part of their excellent continuing efforts.

Join in on the Chick-Fil-A BuyCott

It is collectively showing appreciation for a company by purchasing their products or services – the opposite of a boycott.

You probably didn't hear about this on the evening news or read about it in the newspaper, but after a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Pennsylvania donated some sandwiches and brownies to a marriage seminar hosted by the Pennsylvania Family Institute, pro-homosexual activists went ballistic. According to syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin:

• Several left-wing activist blogs launched an all-out attack on Chick-fil-A.
• Some started calling the company's main product "Jesus Chicken."
• They mocked and belittled the company's "Not Open on Sunday" policy.
• They smeared company employees, calling them "anti-gay."
• One individual – Michael Jones – started an online petition campaign "demanding" that Chick-fil-A renounce "extreme anti-gay groups."
• Users of Facebook organized witch hunts on college campuses.
• In a feature article that ran in the New York Times' Sunday A-section, reporter Kim Severson attacked Chick-fil-A saying it is "anti-gay."

All that because one Chick-fil-A franchise donated a few sandwiches to a seminar aimed at helping couples strengthen their marriages. That reaction certainly seems like making a mountain out of a mole hill. You get the sense that there's more to this attack on Chick-fil-A than meets the eye. And you're right. There is. Chick-fil-A operates on Biblical principles and that irritates secularists.

• For Example:
• Chick-fil-A plays Christian music in its restaurants ... exclusively.
• Chick-fil-A closes all its locations on Sunday ... no exceptions.
• Chick-fil-A's stated corporate purpose is: 1) To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us; and 2) To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chickfil-A.

Please plan to dine at a Chick-fil-A restaurant the week of April 25-30. When you pay for your meal, take a moment to thank them for standing for Christian values as well as print off and hand them the PDF card at http://www.afa.net/buycott/images/Chick-fil_A_card.pdf  so they'll know you are from AFA.

Call Blitz for SR99 - Now running

Goal: 40 cosponsors for the Senate resolution that opposes U.S. ratification of the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Who Do I Call?: Check this page to find out which Senators are already on board, and which ones need a call. Then call your senators whose numbers are provided on that page.

Suggested Script: If your Senator is a Republican: "Hi, my name is _____ and I am a constituent of Senator ________.  I want to encourage the Senator to support SR99. I care about American sovereignty my parental rights and would like to see my Senator stand against dangerous encroachment from UN treaties."  If your representative is a Democrat: "Hi, my name is _____ and I am a constituent of Senator ________.  I want to encourage my Senator to support SR99. I care about America's sovereignty and my parental rights and would like to see my Senator work to protect them. Halting the U.N. Child Rights Convention enjoys bipartisan support at the state level, so I don't understand why Democrats in Washington insist on staying out-of-step on this issue."
