The freeloaders in Congress get too much money from lobbyists to be bothered with the people who actually voted them into office.  Their friends in finance are robbing us blind and Big Oil is poisoning our land. 

 

The backstabbers of corporate personhood (ALEC) are to thank for this revolting development.  Stop ALEC!

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. 1 John 3:10 (NIV) 

 

If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 1 John 2:4 (NLT) 

 

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20 (NIV)
