Senate voting record was the most liberal of 100 senators. Your
choice of advisors and key officials has been extremely European

paying legitimate income tax, some even criminal in their past. Don't

<font size="3">6. It is fine to give lip service to religion, and the
Bible, which has had such a part in the history of our nation in the
past. But Jesus said it is “<b>he who hears and </b><u><b>does</b></u><b>
what it says, who will be considered a wise man who builds his house
upon a rock.” </b> Dr. Ivan Panin, a Russian with 3 doctorate
degrees, who taught Math to Albert Einstein at Harvard, - through his
extraordinary discovery and development of Bible Numerics, has proved
that the Bible is <u>indeed</u> the very words of God. He
consistently demonstrates that the “Gay Thesis” is completely
false and unbiblical. How then can you toady to such false groups,
and make decisions that undermine the integrity and history of our
nation? How is it you have consistently taken to yourself advisors
for over 20 years, who undermine the basic tenets of our nation? Why
is it you borrow the bankrupt socialism of Europe to foist it upon us
as Americans?</font></p>

slipped from its moorings, that we deserve someone like you. Your
socialistic and pro-Islamic policies should shake our people back
into common-sense, and to vote in the light of our original moorings.

the foolish and ignorant moves now being made on behalf of our

“<font size="3">Jim - I was pleased to read your open letter and was
pondering my send or not send reply. Before deciding I began to read
the introduction to Bonhoeffer's book, 'Life Together' for which I
wrote the following: - 'The man who felt all the force of the
pacifist position weighed the 'cost of discipleship' concluded in the
depths of his soul that to withdraw from those who were participating
in political and military resistance would be irresponsible cowardice
and flight from reality. 'Not,' as his friend Bathge says, 'that he
believed that everyone must act as he did, but from where he was
standing, he could see no possibility of retreat into any sinless,
righteous, pious refuge. The sin of respectable people reveals itself
in flight from responsibility. He saw that sin falling upon him and
he took his stand.' Here he acted in accord with his fundamental view
of ethics that a Christian must accept his responsibility as a
citizen of <i>this</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> world where
God has placed him.'</span></font></p>

<font size="3">King Solomon advises the use of counselors in decision
making. <b>“For by wise guidance you shall make war; And in the
multitude of counselors there is safety.” - Proverbs 24:6. And -
“Where no wise guidance is, the people fall; But in the multitude
of counselors there is safety.” - Proverbs 11:14.</b></font></p>

<font size="3">This is the request I sent out to a few friends - “This
morning (2009-03-18) I was having my devotions at a Retirement Home
while my wife Marie was attending a Senior Exercise Class. I had the
strongest leading to write down the thoughts coming to me that are
contained in the above 'Open Letter.' I have typed it up, but not
sent it out. I am sending it to a very few of you. What is your take?
Should I send it out? It is fairly serious, and I take it seriously.
In 1944 God called me to a prophetic-teaching ministry in the line of
Jeremiah. Jeremiah is my devotional for these 2 weeks. Perhaps this
is why I felt led to jot down the enclosed thoughts. I would
appreciate your witness on this as a condition for me to send it out.
Your friend, Jim.”</font></p>
