Abortion is part of vote

Editor, OBSERVER:

This is in memory of the tens of millions of boys and girls who some, today, would be in their 40s if they had not been aborted.

“I am pro-life,” he said. I heard those words of the last presidential debate on Oct. 19. He continued, “No one has the right to take the baby in the womb.” That may not be his exact words, but we got it. He proclaimed this to our nation. The first Presidential candidate I have ever heard say that. I’m telling you it’s the beginning of something beautiful for our country. He spoke the truth.

There is something sweeping our land that cannot be stopped, cannot be bridled, cannot be snatched away; because it’s in the hearts of the people and in the bone. It is the truths that the Republican candidate has been announcing! Donald Trump is my candidate.

It brings me back to our Constitution and its Preamble: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… etc.

Abortion is a lie — from the father of all lies. It doesn’t make things better, only worse. For the last 40-some years, people have believed the lie and lived the lie and now at this time of election campaigns the lie is the truth for some.

We as a people can no longer behave in this manner, for it offends the Author of Life, the heart of God the very Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As a nation we have been divided many times and have fought so many wars on our own land.

From the very beginning of recent history (about 500 years), there was the terrorism of human sacrifice in Mexico. In 1531 between Dec. 9 and 12, the Mother of Jesus appeared to Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian and told him to ask the Bishop to build a church in her honor. The Bishop asked for proof that Juan’s apparition was indeed the Virgin Mary. She told Juan to pick roses that were blooming. When Juan brought the many colored roses to the Bishop and the roses fell from his tilma to the floor, the Image of Our Lady was there and then taking place on Juan’s tilma (cloak). No one before or since, has ever painted on a cactus straw mat because of its rough surface and frail weave. Yet there it is, still today, after 485 years (this December), its colors still fresh and true.

Many scientists from around the world have investigated and studied this Image and have found that in the eyes there is the image of the Bishop and others who were in the room looking at the Image at that time. Also the latest finding is a heartbeat. She is with her unborn child! The sash around her waist indicates her pregnancy!

This ever-present apparition caused eight million Indians to be converted to Christianity in a very short time. Mass conversion brought all human sacrifices to an end in Mexico, saving about 20,000 people a year demanded by Montezuma to appease his “gods.” Juan told that he remembered at age 13, that at the dedication of a new temple, an additional 80,000 human sacrifices were offered.

Today’s human sacrifices are by abortion. The difference is not to appease the “gods” as Montezuma believed in -no – it is to appease the “gods” within.

To all those expectant mothers who are reading this at this moment, I say to you rejoice and again rejoice for you have been blessed by God for He Himself has given you this child for your joy. For you, here are the words given to Juan Diego and to you and I and all of us from Our Lady of Guadalupe:

“Listen, my son, to what I will tell you now. Do not be troubled by anything. Do not fear illness or any disturbing occurrence or pain. Am I not your mother? Am I not life and health? Have I not placed you in my care and made you my responsibility? Do you need anything else?”

I ask all  you prayer warriors in our area. Pray, Pray, Pray for the end of abortion. Surely this is the time now. The 20th century is past. We are in a new era. If you happen to be Catholic, please pray the Rosary every day. Ask our Lady of Guadalupe to pray for our country and for Trump and his opponent Hillary Clinton, that she will be converted and that the President elect will be Trump.

May God bless us one and all.

No politics

in Trump

Editor, OBSERVER:

To vote is an honor and a privilege. It is the opportunity to change the country to what you see as “for the better.” Be very certain that you know the direction your candidate will take the country as it will be your life for that term and quite possibly forever. Never vote for a candidate because of gender or race. Those are invalid reasons. Your vote should reflect how you want to live your life going forward.

Donald Trump is beholden to no one. This means that when in office, he is free to appoint to government positions people who are well qualified for the job. He is not obligated to fill those positions with unknowledgeable large donors, people who have contributed great sums of money to his campaign with the intention of holding a prestigious title, deservedly or not — and often not.

Mr. Trump is not a lifelong slick politician. It was a trial and error, how-to-deliver, learn-as-you-go endeavor. But learn he did. His delivery is polished and he now surrounds himself with knowledgeable advisors. Experts in their fields. As Dr. Ben Carson has stated, Mr. Trump listens intently prior to his decision-making process.

Regarding the accusations slung at Mr. Trump by a desperate party, true or not, they are nothing compared to what he will be able to accomplish in office for America.

Know that Trump is fighting for your best interests in his run to the presidency. He loves this country and is willing to work diligently so that each and every American will continue to retain the right to choose his own path. He is fighting for future generations (those cute grandkids of yours and mine) to be able to have the same opportunities that built his success.

And — remember to vote. And if you don’t vote, don’t complain. You had the opportunity to direct the country down the path of your choosing, but elected to sit it out. And this you will regret.
