Email from Jerry Falwell: He WANTS me!
Jerry wants ME to join the Moral Majority Coalition!
He ever so kindly outlined the agenda in this email-
those who fail to go along will "meet the same fate
as Tom Dachle!"
Check it out folks; this is where they plan to take us
all, whether we want to go along or not...
the Dominionists are just getting started with the "mandate."
BTW: In case you are wondering WHY I received this
email, it is because I adhere strongly to "KNOW the ENEMY."
I subscribe to the list JUST so I can watch what they are up to;
It AINT pretty. It is DOWN right HATEFUL.
The spiteful tone of this email towards anyone who disagrees
with them is NOT very Christian of Mr. Falwell.
I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you!
He is a WOLF of the highest order among the flock.

DATE: November 30, 2004
FROM: Jerry Falwell
TO: THE MORAL MAJORITY COALITION

RECRUITMENT BEGINS FOR FIRST ONE MILLION
COALITION MEMBERS!!

Here I go again! I am today launching a
campaign to enlist the first one million charter
members of The Moral Majority Coalition
(TMMC), a 21st Century Moral Majority. I am
asking you to be one of those historic charter
members without financial charge by visiting
our new website- www.faithandvalues.us

I announced nationally last week that God
has led me to mobilize TMMC and to
immediately implement our agenda which I
believe can begin restoring America to the
her original Judeo-Christian ethic as "One
Nation Under God".

HERE IS THE MORAL MAJORITY COALITION
AGENDA:

(1) The confirmation of pro-life, strict
constructionist U.S. Supreme Court justices
and other federal judges; (2) the passage of
a constitutional Federal Marriage
Amendment; and (3) the election of another
socially, fiscally and politically conservative
president in 2008, along with conservative
members of Congress in 2006 and 2008.

If you make the
courageous decision to
join the Coalition today
at
www.faithandvalues.us,
I will send to
you your plastic-type TMMC billfold-sized
charter membership card. There is no charge
for membership.

However, because we need immediate
funds to launch TMMC and to initiate a
nationwide four-year voter registration
campaign in 225,000 churches, I am asking
you to consider making a secure-online
credit card contribution of $25 or more at
www.faithandvalues.us. Your gift will assist us
in also launching this voter registration
campaign designed to ultimately bring ten
million new “faith and values”
voters to the polls in 2008.

In appreciation for your gift of $25 or more, I
will send you the TMMC Charter Membership
Card, The Moral Majority Coalition
Call-To-Action Information Packet and two
“I Vote Christian” window
statics.


Actual Size = 4" x 6"

I'M FINISHING WHAT I STARTED 25 YEARS AGO.

My first challenge in 1979 when I founded the
Moral Majority was to recruit pastors and
laypeople who would help me energize,
inform and mobilize religious conservatives for
social and political activism. Our platform
was clearly defined. We were pro-life,
pro-family, pro-Israel and committed to strong
national defense.

Our first priorities were voter registration and
the selection of a “champion”
to support for the presidency in November
1980. We organized quickly in all 50 states,
eventually enlisting about 100,000 pastors,
priests, a few rabbis and millions of grassroots
Americans around our agenda. We chose
Ronald Reagan in 1980 as our flag bearer and
we were “off to the races.”

The rest is history. Ronald Reagan was
elected. Twelve liberal senators were
unseated. The national media declared that
the “religious right” was born.
Faith and family social issues became front
burner political issues, with Roe vs. Wade in
our crosshairs from Day One. Thousands of
evangelical pastors have since joined the
ranks of “salt ministry”
leadership.

MANY CHAMPIONS HAVE PROVIDED
LEADERSHIP.

During the past quarter century, courageous
and brilliant evangelical mega-leaders like
Pat Robertson, James Dobson, D. James
Kennedy, Tim and Bev LaHaye, Franklin
Graham, Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, Mathew
Staver, Jay Sekulow, Don Wildmon, Janet
Parshall, John Hagee, Charles Stanley, Adrian
Rogers, Rick Scarborough, Rod Parsley, David
Cerullo and others have provided powerful
influence inside the Christian camp.

GOD ALLOWED ME TO GIVE BIRTH TO "THE
RELIGIOUS RIGHT".

More than 25 years have passed since the
Moral Majority was born. The fruit of our
never-ending labors was blessed by God and
became obvious to the world on November
2, 2004 when more than 30 million
“faith and values” voters went
to the polls and made the difference in
America.

The battle is not over by any means. We
have thrown down the gauntlet. The left is
furious. Everyone now knows that the stage is
set for the church of Jesus Christ to turn this
nation back to the faith of our fathers and
the Judeo-Christian ethic. New Supreme
Court justices can overturn Roe vs. Wade.
The Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution can forever define the family as
one man married to one woman. Any
senator who opposes this FMA could face the
same fate Sen. Tom Daschle experienced. I
truly believe we can bring 40 million
“faith and values” voters to the
polls in 2008 to assure that Sen. Hillary Clinton,
or someone of her ilk, will never be president
of this nation. But, I need one million new
charter members of TMMC immediately.

SEVEN DECADES IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR.

Please help me finish what I started a quarter
century ago. At age 71, I am dedicating the
next four years to finishing the vision God
gave me as a much younger man. I need
your help!! Please become a charter
member of The Moral Majority Coalition
today at www.faithandvalues.us. If possible,
please also make a secure-on-line credit card
non-tax-deductible gift of $25 or more at
www.faithandvalues.us as we begin a
monumental four-year battle for the soul of
America.

BECOME A PERSON OF DESTINY. JOIN TODAY.

Almost weekly, after all these years, persons
approach me with their billfolds open
showing me their 1979 Moral Majority
membership card. We started a revolution
that gave us Ronald Reagan, George Bush
and millions of "faith and values" activists who
are now able to save America. Please join this
21st Century revolution by joining The Moral
Majority Coalition today at
www.faithandvalues.us. Perhaps, 25 years
from now, you can show your "2004 The
Moral Majority Coalition Charter Membership
Card" to your grandchildren and tell them
you helped bring America back to her
Judeo-Christian heritage.

6. A FALSE Christian- for certain.
He is a dangerous man, spiritually.
Part of the problem and guilty of fostering
hate and intolerance among the citizens of this
country.
Shame on him and those who perpetuate his mangled
message of Christianity.

17. Bascially, they are calling
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 02:20 PM by BeHereNow
for an amendment to the constitution that
would require all judges to recognize God's law
over man.
You can read all about it here:
http://www.yuricareport.com
I forget the exact name of the article,
but you should have no trouble finding it.
BTW- it is a blashemous thing that they suggest,
They are negating the testament of Jesus
who said "law" was replaced by Grace through his coming.
They are FALSE Christians for that reason alone,
not to mention all the other blasphemies they spew.
Unfortunately, many of their followers have NO
idea what the bible says, and therefore go along
with it.

2. Good freakin' grief....
Without even reading the whole thing, that's absurd.

"I announced nationally last week that God
has led me to mobilize TMMC and to
immediately implement our agenda which I
believe can begin restoring America to the
her original Judeo-Christian ethic as "One
Nation Under God"."


Erm, somebody correct me, but wasn't that added to the pledge sometime in the last 100 years or so? The U.S. was not originally founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic. It was founded to escape repression and religious repression. Good grief, Charlie Brown.

4. This statement says a lot to me:
"(3) the election of another socially, fiscally and politically conservative president in 2008, along with conservative members of Congress in 2006 and 2008."

I guess they know that they don't have one now. Hahahahaha!

8. "committed to strong national defense?" national defense.
What exactly does that mean Mr. Falwell?
Bombs that blow up civilians, many of whom are Christians?
Guess I need to read my Bible more...I missed that part.

10. Aren't we helping him reach his goal...
of one million by signing up? I guess it doesn't really matter because I am sure we aren't donating, but I wouldn't want my name on some sort of petition going to Congress or the President from this lunatic.

In fact, I'm off to do that now. Thanks!

We could take it over if we could get a solid majority, and turn it against Mr. Falwell.

16. 71 years old huh.... is he gonna die soon? PLEASE GOD?!
maybe all of us liberals should join his coalition and then turnaround and use it to spread liberal propaganda? nnaaa, maybe not. but it would be interesting.
I have got my dad some political quote books for xmas, and they have some falwell quotes in it (to show the stupidity of repukes and fundies). I must say, he is a very scary man. It scares me that someone like him could ever become the leader of anything... It scares me very much that many many people think he is right. I don't understand why they want to obliterate the lives of dissenters (either political or religious) why are they so intolerant and nonaccepting? Is it because they know that there is a good chance that other ways might be right?
When I see things from people like that, I feel like I should just give up. People listen to men like him. But people don't listen to people like us.

We practice tolerance here at DU, please be

23. Oh, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.....
You silly little man...

"...can begin restoring America to the
her original Judeo-Christian ethic as "One
Nation Under God"."

While the debate is still raging as to whether or not Murka was "founded as a Christian nation", I doubt the founders had Jews in mind, so cut the "Judeo-Christian ethic" bullshit.

"... Everyone now knows that the stage is
set for the church of Jesus Christ to turn this
nation back to the faith of our fathers and
the Judeo-Christian ethic...."

Uh, I thought our Founding Fathers were DEISTS?

"..The Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution can forever define the family as
one man married to one woman. Any
senator who opposes this FMA could face the
same fate Sen. Tom Daschle experienced..."

Oooooh! A THREAT! And Jerry, about your "forever" statement? Please go to the Constitution (it's in your bathroom, you wipe your ass on it regularly) and read the 21st Ammendment...

"SEVEN DECADES IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR."

Better concentrate on the view out your windshield...

" Perhaps, 25 years
from now, you can show your "2004 The
Moral Majority Coalition Charter Membership
Card" to your grandchildren and tell them
you helped bring America back to her
Judeo-Christian heritage..."

And perhaps you'll show it to them and they'll say "So THAT'S why we 're hungry and have to wear these Burka things all the time? Because of YOU????"

"During the past quarter century, courageous
and brilliant evangelical mega-leaders like
Pat Robertson, James Dobson, D. James
Kennedy, Tim and Bev LaHaye, Franklin
Graham, Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, Mathew
Staver, Jay Sekulow, Don Wildmon, Janet
Parshall, John Hagee, Charles Stanley, Adrian
Rogers, Rick Scarborough, Rod Parsley, David
Cerullo ..."

All crooked Telly-Vangelists, every one.

but the stupied Sheeple at home will rise to his challenge and send in their pill money for this week, believing that they're valuable "Partners" in the "saving" of Murka.

Fools. They almost DESERVE to starve and be sick for following these shysters.

25. It's terribly sad, isn't it?
I think of the little grannies, like mine did,
who unwittingly gave these EVIL men money
for years and years...al the while thinking
it would be used to help people.
Great post BJ.

27. Yes, it is.
I remember when Diane Sawyer blew the lid off of Bob Tilton's "Word of Faith Curch" and "Success N' Life" back in '91.

It was comical. The day after, Bob was ranting and raving on his show in denial, and while his eyes were bugged out and sweat flying off his over-conked hair, he was mis-quoting some scripture about "...and the FOOL RAGES! While the Wise Man..."

"Koda Basanda Andanda de Bosoto...You foul rotten stinkin' devil!"

And the funny thing is, we kept AIRING that asshole! Word from corporate was that Diane Sawyer was an agent of Satan, and the whole story was lies...

People should use that money on themselves. it'd help someone more deserving. Jan Crouch doesn't need anymore of your money for that cotton-candy-pink hair tint, she's got plenty.

26. Thou shalt not bear false witness
"the election of another
socially, fiscally and politically conservative
president in 2008, " WTF?

Did we elect some president they're hiding? * is as fiscally conservative as William Bennett, the gambler, only * is squandering taxpayer money....Sheesh, talk about "bearing false witness."

Here and now, I call on the God of heaven to strike this bastard Falwell DOWN. Are you up there, dude? Can you believe the way your "godly" men couldn't care less about the poor, but would rather run political campaigns? God?
