Ok, which of you set me up?!?!?!?

Post by Gob »

Just got this in my inbox.
Scott Walker For America
Thisiswhy,

My relationship with God drives every major decision in my life. Each day I pray and then take time to read from the Bible and from a devotional named Jesus Calling.

As you can imagine, the months leading up to my announcement that I would run for President of the United States were filled with a lot of prayer and soul searching.

Here’s why: I needed to be certain that running was God’s calling -- not just man’s calling. I am certain: This is God’s plan for me and I am humbled to be a candidate for President of the United States.

Now, it is up to the voters to decide who will win the election. If you support my conservative campaign, please join my team right now with $10, $35, $50, $100, or even $250 today.

As the son of a Baptist preacher, my faith comes first. It is the guiding force of my life both in politics and in private. For example, I believe in the sanctity of life. I believe in the covenant of marriage. I believe in strong families. I believe in protecting religious liberties. And I believe these things are worth fighting for -- and I have.

A lifelong supporter of the pro-life movement, my work defending the unborn goes back to my college days where I was a leader of Marquette Students for Life. As a state lawmaker, I helped write and pass legislation banning the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion. As Governor of Wisconsin, I prohibited abortion from being covered by Wisconsin health plans in a health insurance exchange, signed an ultrasound bill into law, and defunded Planned Parenthood while maintaining health services for women throughout Wisconsin.

Earlier this year, I called for legislation to protect unborn children once they can feel pain at five months. The members of the State Legislature passed the bill and I proudly signed it into law. Yet another pro-life victory here in Wisconsin!

If elected President, I would be honored to sign similar legislation at the federal level. I was raised to believe in the sanctity of life and I will always fight to protect it.

Please stand with me today to help elect a pro-life President.



Our conservative values were handed a big blow with the recent Supreme Court ruling. Let me be very clear: this decision was a grave mistake. Five unelected judges took it upon themselves to take that responsibility away from the states and redefine the institution of marriage.

In 2006, I voted to amend my state constitution to protect the institution of marriage because I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.

I believe that the states have the right to define marriage.

To protect this right, I support an amendment to the United States Constitution to reaffirm the ability of the states to continue to define marriage.

Going forward, we need to focus our attention on protecting the religious rights of Americans. Our U.S. Constitution calls for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The founders of this exceptional country took religious freedom very seriously and we must redouble our efforts to protect these freedoms today.

I have been a tireless advocate for religious liberty. And my state’s families and children are better off because of our pro-life, pro-family agenda that promotes life, freedom, and opportunity.

As President, I will stand up for these same values. And I will appoint men and women to the Court who will faithfully uphold the Constitution -- without injecting their own political agendas into legal matters.

Our country is at a crossroads and we need a proven conservative leader who is not afraid to fight for what is right -- even when it’s not politically expedient. My decisions are guided by my relationship with God -- not by what might win me a few votes.

I am proud to have earned the early support of conservative and religious activists across the country and hope to earn your support today. Visit here to become a leader of our conservative team with a contribution of $10, $35, $50, $100, $250, or whatever amount is right for you.

Every day I pray that our best days of peace, prosperity, and freedom are ahead of us. As President, I will uphold the traditional values that have made our country great, but I need your help to win.

Your enthusiastic support will help us build much-needed momentum in these early weeks as we take our conservative message to voters across the country.

God bless you and God bless America,

Scott Walker
My reply was a tadge on the strong side.

Despite my less than polite reply last time, he sent me another
hisiswhy,

By now you have probably seen the disturbing videos that show Planned Parenthood officials callously and crudely discussing how they sell the body parts of aborted babies. For them abortion is a coldhearted business.

When the videos started coming to light, the American people were shocked and horrified.

I was horrified -- but I wasn’t shocked.

Sadly, I knew this disgusting and immoral practice exists, which is why we defunded Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin and why I co-sponsored legislation to ban the sale of fetal body parts when I was a state legislator. As part of our continuing efforts to build a culture of life in Wisconsin, we recently banned abortions after 20 weeks.

I am running for President as a pro-life Christian and need your support.

Please stand with us in support of life with a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $175, $250, or another amount today.

The son of a Baptist preacher, I was taught to value life. Proponents of this grotesque practice call it the “transfer of aborted fetal tissue” and claim it’s an accepted industry practice. Well, we don’t accept the sale of aborted baby parts!

You don’t have to be pro-life to know this practice is absolutely horrifying and WRONG.

Practices like this cannot be tolerated, Thisiswhy. Planned Parenthood and the Democrats who vote to fund this organization owe the American people an explanation for these immoral acts.

If you agree, please join our pro-life campaign today.

Anyone who is active in the pro-life movement knows what it’s like to be called an “extremist” simply for valuing human life. Yet people like Hillary Clinton, President Obama, and others continue to stand up for Planned Parenthood no matter how heinous their activities are.

They are the ones who are the extremists.

Has our country gone so far off course that we think it’s acceptable to harvest and sell aborted baby body parts? If that’s the case, God help us all.

Our conservative campaign has been surging in recent days and it’s because the American people are desperate for conservative leadership and moral guidance. Together we will give it to them.

Please support our conservative campaign with a generous contribution and help elect a President who is committed to protecting the unborn.

Thanks for all that you do,

Scott Walker

Contributing abuse, if that helps?
