Report From Washington – August 10, 2012

THE PRESIDENCY
Obama increases lead – According to a new Fox News poll, Barack Hussein Obama has increased his lead over Mitt Romney in the last 30 days. Obama now leads Romney by 9 points according to the poll. An associate of mine who operates a poll by cell phone, shows Obama ahead by only four points. In electoral votes Obama is up 370 to 145 according to most polls. With nearly 50% of Americans receiving government checks of some kind, Obama is going to be harder to beat with Romney concentrating just on economic issues. Mitt Romney’s refusal to bring social issues into the process may lose him the election.
Romney digs hole deeper on social issues – Despite losing ground in the polls as he tries to run only on economic issues, Mitt Romney took time out to attack the Boy Scouts. Yes … the Boy Scouts. His spokeswoman said on the issue that Romney still stands by his 1994 statement in which he said “I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.” Read more 
Ads tell truth about Obama – The Religious Freedom Coalition has been conducting an aggressive campaign to stop the war on religious freedom being waged by the Obama Administration. During this critical year of decision the Religious Freedom Coalition will run advertisements in key newspapers asking Congress to curtail Barack Obama’s secularist agenda of radically changing our nation.

CONGRESS 
Both Houses in recess – The House will reconvene on Monday, September 10th with the first vote occurring after 6:30 PM. Although the media would like to portray any recess as a “vacation,” that is far from the truth. Most congressmen work six days a week in their district offices, meeting with constituents. Each congressman has more than a quarter of a million people in his or her district, many of whom demand direct contact which they can’t get when the congressman is in Washington, DC.
In defense of Michele Bachmann – On Wednesday, August 8th former Federal Prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy addressed a standing-room only crowd at the National Press Club’s on Muslim Brotherhood influence operations in the United States. McCarthy presented the briefing as a response to attacks on the “National Security Five.” These five members of Congress – Representatives Michele Bachmann (MN) Louie Gohmert (TX), Trent Franks (AZ), Lynn Montgomery (GA) and Tom Rooney (FL) – have asked the Inspectors General of federal departments to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence operations within the U.S. government.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman honors martyred Olympic Jews – The music for Aly Raisman’s gold medal winning floor routine at the Summer Olympics was chosen by her as a tribute to the Israeli athletes who died at the hands of Muslm terrorists during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. The music was based on the traditional Jewish song, Hava Nagila. “I am Jewish, that’s why I wanted that floor music,” Aly told the New York Post. “I wanted something the crowd could clap to, especially being here in London.” Read moreand see floor routine.
Cop punished for eating Chick-fil-A sandwich – A Dallas, Texas police officer is facing punishment for eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich in front of two openly lesbian officers who serve on the very politically correct Dallas police force.

Chick-fil-A is not alone – There are other outspoken Christian businesses. Since 1997, Hobby Lobby has placed, during certain holidays, full page newspaper ads that glorify the Lord and advocate Christian values. Ads appear each Christmas, Easter and even Independence Day. The ads are powerful; some ads have reached as many as 44 million newspaper readers. Read more and see some of the ads.

Afghanistan: Three US troops killed by Afghan police chief – The American media is reporting that a man “dressed as” an Afghan soldier killed three U.S. servicemen. This is a deception. The killer was actually an Afghan police commander who invited the three to dinner at his home and then gunned them down while they ate, as guests in his home. This is the third such attack by a member of the Afghan military or police force in just on week. Read more
