Wyoming Supreme Court Considers OSA’s Gospel Proclamation

Here is Rusty’s report on the progress of our court case against the city of Jackson Wyoming.  Pastor flew to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to be present at the hearing.   ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

Pastor and I had the blessing to be at the Wyoming Supreme Court with our wonderful attorney, Jack Edwards. He did a masterful job defending our rights, while dismantling the city of Jackson’s case against us.

It is amazing to consider that Operation Save America did a regional event in Jackson, WY and six months later it is still reverberating throughout this state. It continues to be front page news.

The city of Jackson was so concerned about this case going before the Wyoming Surpeme Court, they sent the top five leaders of their city to observe it. The mayor, city manger, city attorney who argued their case, and LT. Guillam who sought the TRO/injunction against us were present in the court room. Apparently, they are deeply concerned about the outcome of this case. They are either frightened by a lawsuit or intend to use it again to censor the Gospel light that shines upon the darkness of child-killing tolerated in their city.

As most of you know WY is one of the five states that makes up the States of Refuge campaign. Please continue to pray for this vision and mission. We will be going back to Wyoming and it would be a great blessing to see this TRo/injunction defeated in Jesus’ name!

Wyoming Supreme Court Considers Abortion Case

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – The town of Jackson violated anti-abortion protesters’ rights when it secured a court order prohibiting them from appearing on the town square, a lawyer told the Wyoming Supreme Court on Thursday.

Laywer Jack Edwards, representing the anti-abortion group Operation Save America, argued that it was improper for the town to secure a court order barring activists from appearing within two blocks of the town square in May. The town didn’t notify protesters beforehand that it was seeking the order.

“There are many procedural errors,” Edwards told the court. “To not rule on this would create a blueprint for the squelching of protected speech in the future.”

Audrey Cohen-Davis, lawyer for the town, argued Thursday that it was proper for the town to secure the restraining order from District Judge Timothy Day.

Cohen-Davis said city police feared possible violence if the protesters, who previously had been showing graphic signs of aborted fetuses around Jackson, came together on the town square with about 200 Boy Scouts and their families who were gathering for an annual auction of elk antlers.

“Parents taking their Boy Scouts to the Elkfest event did not expect to have a group subjecting their children to such material,” Cohen-Davis said.

Police arrested two anti-abortion protesters at the event.

Operation Save America, a national group, said it had picked Jackson for its anti-abortion campaign in an effort to make Wyoming the first state in which no doctors would provide abortions. The group targeted Dr. Brent Blue, a family practitioner, whom the group said is the only doctor in the state to offer abortions.

Justice E. James Burke questioned Cohen-Davis closely about the town’s failure to notify Operation Save America before seeking the court order.

Burke noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has said there’s no place in the law for issuing restraining orders without notice that deprive people of their basic freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment unless there’s proof it was impossible to notify them and give them an opportunity to participate in the court hearing.

Cohen-Davis responded that she didn’t want Operation Save America protesters to know who she was. She said Jackson was in a very volatile situation when the protesters were in town.

“Isn’t our system sort of based on both sides having an opportunity to present their position to the court?” Burke asked.

Rusty Thomas of Waco, Texas, is assistant director of operations for Operation Save America. He and other members of the group attended Thursday’s court hearing in Cheyenne.

Speaking after the hearing, Thomas said the group had about 40 or 50 protesters in Jackson for five or six days in May. “We felt it was our duty as Christians to make that challenge,” he said.

Thomas said his group was in close contact with Jackson law enforcement during the protest, but received no advance notice the town was going to court to block its demonstration. “They did not make any attempts to tell us,” he said. “We were set up.”

Thomas said the group wants the Wyoming Supreme Court to issue an order saying what the town did was wrong. “What happens when we go back? And we do intend to go back,” Thomas said. “Are they going to pull this out and go after us in the future?”

The court took the case under advisement and will issue a written decision later.

Wyoming Supreme Court Hears our Case

Our witness in Jackson, Wyoming, as we brought the Gospel of Christ to the state’s only remaining abortionist and abortion mill, is still front page news in Jackson.  Can you imagine simple little Christians living out their faith in the streets of a city could create such a news story?  Well, yes if Almighty God is in it!   Enjoy and here is the link!      ~ Flip

Chet Gallagher’s Take on Mississippi Personhood Battle

Our brother Chet shares his heart and the heart of our heavenly Father in a unique perspective of what happened as the Church of Jesus Christ in Mississippi failed to do what only she can do – storm the gates of hell so that they will not prevail!

Pray and think upon this.  ~Flip

 

From where it first started, tragically the slaughter continues…

Many of you, dear friends and more, have interceded passionately, crying out to God for the personhood efforts here in Mississippi to succeed. All of us “on the ground” want to thank you for doing so faithfully. Surely God is pleased with your cries to heaven on behalf of the least of His. I was not surprised to receive many messages, phone calls, and e-mails this morning after the announcement last night that the smallest and most helpless baby boys and girls in Mississippi would continue to be crushed within their mothers womb. I told Flip that I was grieving both for the babies who will die day after day and also for the church members who welcomed and embraced the enemies’ stratagems. Tens of thousands here drank in every implausible argument to justify their defiance of the Word of God, casting their vote to let the killing continue unabated. “God is not mocked…”

On Monday, Fox news reported accurately our declaration that “It’s always a baby…it’s always been a baby…it will always be a baby and there’s never a good reason to kill an innocent child in the womb.” Still abortion would ultimately not end in Mississippi, where it began first in 1966, due largely to the complicity and/or inaction of the church.  So often I heard these words from those naming the name of Jesus, “I’m prolife but this bill confuses me.” “I can’t vote for this because I’ll lose my birth control and IVF will be banned.” Only 48 hours ago I had discovered a verse I’d never seen, Isaiah 59:4 says in the NKJV: “No one calls for justice, Nor does [any] plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity,” and so the reason this evil was “conceived” and iniquity was brought forth is because, rather than choosing His Words of life, they chose to “trust in” empty words or as the NASB translates, “trust in confusion.”

Still many God fearing believers prayed and passed out tens of thousands of pieces of literature denouncing the deceit; in fact, we were privileged to have over 70 friends come here to Mississippi from 14 states join us in the final days. In the end all we could do was to cry out to God and so on election day I invited Ron Duhe, my stalwart 70 year old comrade, to join me in one final day’s intercession. Rising early on Tuesday we drove through all seven southern Mississippi counties that we’d first petitioned in together nearly two years earlier. We determined to pray “on-site with insight” traveling to every polling place we could reach from 7 AM to 7 PM. We believed it was all we had left we could do, and found it to be a liberating and Spirit empowering 12 hours of intercession!

We certainly stumble along the way, even may question the outcome of our labor for Him; still He allows us to finish strong, imparting confidence to go from this place better equipped than ever to fight this good fight of faith. Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Oklahoma and more are before us AND…you are invited to “just show up” on the next battleground. Make no mistake I do not minimize the significant tragedy of this defeat, nor the casualties that will follow, but let these words of William Wilberforce challenge you and me to move forward, pressing tenaciously toward the prize of ending the slaughter: 

“So enormous, so dreadful, so irremediable did the trade’s wickedness appear that my own mind was completely made up for abolition. Let the consequences be what they would: I from this time determined that I would never rest until I had effected its abolition.”

No King but King Jesus!

Mississippi Personhood – Today is the Day

Here is Chet’s call for all of us to be in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Mississippi who are storming the gates of hell (abortion) in the strong Name of Jesus.  The “Personhood” vote on (Amendment 26) is today.

Pray that God will loose from heaven what already has been loosed in the state of Mississippi.  Faith in God’s Word, and God’s Word alone.  The Sword of the Spirit has been unsheathed by the saints in Mississippi.  Now, Lord God, watch over Your Word to perform it in Jesus’ magnificent Name. ~ Flip

We needed a final days effective strategy. We are not going to be “working” the polls or just “going” to the polls or recruiting folks to “get” to the polls. We encourage many who can to do so. But today, my partner in prayer, Ron Duhe, who first joined me in Mississippi on Jan 23rd 2009, is joining me today to “PRAY THE POLLS.”

We will strive to run this race to the very end today, running from polling place to polling place, from seven AM to seven PM in the seven southern Mississippi Counties we have worked since our arrival. We’ve been privileged to petition together, speak to pastors and churches together, walk the streets together, sing and cry out and rejoice together and we have prayed often together for the shedding on innocent blood to end. 

I can’t think of one thing we haven’t done that has been productive and we have been praying all along. But I am not convinced I have prayed enough, so that’s what I must ensure is done on this final day. But not just praying in this Mississippi cottage. Nope, we are going out to pray my favorite way: “Praying ON-SITE with INSIGHT.” Like the murder mills where babies die, these are the last place where Christians and others will enter. Will they choose life or death? I want them to see us praying they will choose life!

 So pray for us and please send this to every Mississippian you know. 

Jesus is King and we must serve Him!

 Chet Gallagher

Ken and Jo Scott Standing Strong for Jesus

The saints in Denver are having a huge impact for Jesus on everything that goes on in that city.  As a result, the devil is pushing back with all his might.  Too bad for him that his tiny little gates cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.  The city of Denver is now bringing out its great big “howitzers” to destroy Ken and Jo in legal shenanigans, both federal and state.  Little does Denver know that what the devil intends for evil, God will work for the good to bring about the salvation of many (Genesis 50:20). Enjoy!   ~ Flip

Hello All,

Here is an update on our Appeal from the Injunction to stay away from St. John’s Episcopal Church the largest Cathedral in Denver, which ordained a woman Priest on the Board of Planned Parenthood.  The Church supports abortion and the late term Abortionist Warren Hern and has a choir that is filed with homosexuals.  We have preached to men carrying purses to church and tell them to carry a Bible instead and read the Bible about Roman’s chapter

1.  During the Operation Save America event here in 2005 the Denver Police enforce this Injunction on all protester to stay away from the church.  We will have an Answer Brief by our Attorney Rebecca Messall in responds in 30 days, before going again to the Appeals Court then up to Colorado Supreme Court and then to the Supreme Court of the U.S. Please pray for her and Attorney Thomas Brejcha of the Thomas More Society that is helping with the costs, See our Opening Brief first.  We couldn’t go to the U.S. Supreme before, because it was Remanded back to the District Court to reduce the Injunction size, which it didn’t do much, so we have to fight it another time around. 

 ***See the last Attached Exhibit, “The Dark Side of Music at St. John’s Cathedral“, we were denied the right to picket near the church when the Homosexuals had the All Denver Gay Men’s Choir event at the church, because it was considered still a church event on the night of Friday, April the 13th, 2007.  They openly mocked God.     

We will have an update on our FACE Case with the U.S. Government on the sidewalk driveway area entrance of Planned Parenthood abortion mill, in the near future.

We are praying for the Pro-lifers in Miss. to get the Personhood Amendment passed on Nov. 8th, to shack this nation and Planned Parenthood.

God Bless!!!  Ken and Jo
 
Here are the documents from the case:

What Happens at Abortion Mills in Charlotte

Mark and Lisa Metzger bring their family (9 children) out to the to the gates of hell every Friday and Saturday as often as they can.  They are joined by another home school family Robbie and Jeanette Wilson (6 children).  The miracles God has wrought through their presence at the abortion mills here in Charlotte has been astounding.  Here is one little miracle for your encouragement.  Enjoy! ~ Flip

This is Damir Mason (left) and his mother Jennifer (rith with Lisa), at their baby shower! Damir means “to give peace” and Mason means “works with stone”. God worked with an apparent heart of stone, which was set on aborting the child within, knitting together the hearts of Damir and Jennifer! God also gave Jennifer PEACE in her decision to choose life! How beautiful! Jennifer’s story of LIFE is below.

A young woman from Hemingway, SC came to abort a child thought to be 8 weeks. After choosing life, she found out that her baby was actually 16 weeks. If she had gone through with the abortion at Latrobe she could have experienced horrible complications since they were unwilling to verify the baby’s age via ultrasound and would have either given her pills to induce abortion or performed surgery on a baby who was much farther along than they had thought. While inside of the mill, she had asked to speak to someone about the abortion procedure, but was told that she could not talk to a doctor, nurse or even a counselor about the procedure. Instead, the front desk personnel described the “painless and quick” procedure of abortion using a highlighter and pencil! There have been two ambulances since February, seen at this facility. Please pray that the truth about the physical danger of abortion is made known to these women.

A text received from Miss Jennifer, who chose life for her son: “I saw you 3 days ago. I was going to give my baby up and I’m happy I didn’t do it. I want you and the people that you were with to know that it meant the whole world to me to know that you all care about me, not even knowing me…[if it weren’t] for you I would have done a really bad thing.”

Chet’s Call to Pray for Mississippi Personhood

The history here of how abortion began in Mississippi fully seven years before Roe v. Wade,is remarkable.  The “seed of the serpent” is the ultimate incrementalist.  We are not ignorant of the devil’s schemes and we know that one little word will fell him –   Jesus!  How awesome and marvelous is our task to stand upon God’s Word in times such as these.

Thank You Jesus! ~ Flip

Why was it important for us to be here, of all places, in Mississippi?

What Started Here Ends Here
Initiative 26 To Reverse Mississippi’s Abortion Role

Here’s an important lesson in America’s abortive history: Mississippi was the first to start legalizing abortion (incrementally) and will be the first to end it (entirely.) 

Jackson, MS 11-4-11 – America’s abortion holocaust began in Mississippi on May 8, 1966. 

Forty-five years ago Mississippi became the first state to decriminalize the killing of a child by an abortionist. The “exception” for rape marked for death children who allegedly did not deserve the protection of law. A 3,500-year-old legal principle distinguishing civilization from barbarism was that “children shall not be put to death for the crimes of their fathers.” Throwing aside this foundation of due process and equal protection under the law, our state opened up the floodgates of America’s holocaust in which abortionists nationwide have now killed more than 50 million children.

The approval of (see it here:) House Bill 562 in 1966 and its taking effect 30 days later on June 8, 1966, put a so-called exception into state law defining “abortion” as “a felony unless the… pregnancy was caused by rape.” In the seven years before Roe v. Wade, 19 states began the decriminalization of child killing by permitting abortion for various reasons, tragically beginning with Mississippi (and followed by Colorado, California, Oregon, North Carolina, New York, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Virginia). It is false to claim that “Roe ushered in the age of abortion,” for it was the states, with Mississippi first, which began the process that expanded as far as New York allowing abortion on demand through six months. 

Now the states must end what the states unleashed. If it was a state’s right to begin it, it must therefore be a state’s right to end it.

While the ancient Code of Hammurabi legislated the killing of children for the crimes of their fathers (as in Hammurabi laws 210, 230, and 116), America’s Judeo-Christian legal heritage corrected this injustice. For the Law of Moses states at Deuteronomy 24:16, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers…” A Hebrew prophet affirmed this, writing, “The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son…” at Ezekiel 18:20.

Personhood corrects the cruelty and grave injustice brought about by Mississippi declaring some children unworthy of protection. Please Vote Yes on 26 on Tuesday so every baby can be protected by love and by law. 

What started here ends here.

Planned Parenthood Lying about Personhood

 This just in from Coach Dave Daubenmire who is helping Chet Gallagher and the saints in the state of Mississippi to pass, “Initiative 26 (the Personhood Initiative), on November 8, 2011.  This two minute video exposes the true nature of the battle they are fighting.  The diabolical deception, fraud, and large money, the devil is hurling at them are all meant to waylay, detour, and dissuade them from continuing their march to tear down the devil’s stronghold in Mississippi.  God help them to carry on in Jesus’ Name! ~ Flip
