HOUSE AND SENATE IN RECESS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 7TH

KERRY'S "RELIGIOUS" ADVISOR

Last week we informed our readers about the new "religious advisor" to Senator John Kerry. The Religious Freedom Coalition along with other active conservative groups exposed her liberal agenda, forcing the Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson to step down. This was the "Reverend" who joined the lawsuit filed by atheist Michael Newdow to remove the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag! Her true colors were exposed-an adversary to religion and faith-thus hastening her resignation as senior religion advisor. Stay tuned to see who John Kerry appoints as his next religious "adversary".

Today Australian lawmakers voted to ban same-sex marriage. They are also looking to establish immigration rules to prevent gays and lesbians from adopting foreign children. Prime Minister John Howard announced changes to the country’s law on Thursday. Howard who admires President George W. Bush, has been united on this issue. He confidently told reporters, "I believe in this," The changes "wouldn't be coming forward if I didn't believe very strongly in both of them." This bill passed Friday in the Senate with a vote of 39-7 will be inserted into the country's Marriage Act with the words: "Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."

Also to be inserted is a provision stating: "Certain unions are not marriages. a union solemnized in a foreign country between: (a) a man and another man; or (b) a woman and another woman; must not be recognized as a marriage in Australia."

Senator Bob Brown,of the Green Party, a homosexual, accused Howard of "hatred" and following the "extreme right-wing fundamentalist currently in power in the United States."

The Australian people have made clear their overwhelming desire that marriages should be between only a man and a woman.
