Operation Save America -

In the closing days of last year's election for attorney general, high-profile abortion doctor George Tiller, of Wichita, contributed more than $150,000 to try to defeat Republican Phill Kline, according to campaign finance records.

But the public knew nothing about it.

The contributions did not have to be reported until after the election, and even then, because Tiller's contributions were moved through two political action committees, it was difficult to determine who was spending what on whom.

In statewide campaigns like those for attorney general, individuals are limited in Kansas to contributing $2,000 to a candidate in the primary and $2,000 in the general election.

But there is no limit on contributions used for so-called independent expenditures. Such expenditures advocate for a candidate, but it is done independently of that candidate's campaign.

And such expenditures were used to finance a last-minute push on behalf of Kline's opponent.

For example, on Nov. 1 -- four days before the election to choose between Kline and Democrat Chris Biggs -- Tiller donated $153,000 to Pro Kan Do, an abortion rights political action committee controlled by Tiller, according to campaign finance records.

That same day, Pro Kan Do turned over $153,000 to a political action committee called Kansans for Democratic Leadership. And on Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, Kansans for Democratic Leadership spent $153,000 on pro-Biggs radio ads, according to the documents.

Carol Williams, executive director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission and a longtime political observer, said such an expenditure was significant in Kansas politics.

"It is a large sum of money," Williams said. "You just don't very often see something that is pretty much bankrolled by one force."

And in the context of Biggs' campaign, the amount was astronomical. In the three months leading up to Oct. 24, Biggs had spent a total of $133,191 on his campaign.

The last-minute barrage, however, wasn't quite enough to put Biggs over the top.

A relative political unknown, the Democrat came within half a percentage point of upsetting Kline, a vocal opponent of abortion.

And the $153,000 hand-off from Tiller to Pro Kan Do to Kansans for Democratic Leadership wasn't the only time it happened.

In the one-month existence of Kansans for Democratic Leadership, it received $265,000. Of that, $258,000 came from Pro Kan Do, and $6,000 directly from Tiller.

Of the funds that Kansans for Democratic Leadership spent, the majority went in support of Biggs' candidacy, though it also spent $93,000 on polling to identify major issues for voters.

A spokesman for Tiller and Pro Kan Do could not be reached for comment.

Kline reacts

In the final week of the campaign, Kline recalled this week, he heard plenty of evidence Biggs' supporters had come up with some money.

"I knew there was an extensive influx of cash somewhere because I heard the radio ads virtually everywhere I went," Kline said.

They were negative ads, he said, but didn't mention the abortion issue.

While Kline said the public had a right to know who was bankrolling campaign ads, he wasn't critical of Tiller's expenditures against him.

"I don't have a problem with Tiller's right to do it," Kline said.

In fact, Kline months earlier was himself a beneficiary of an out-of-state group's attack ads. Those ads were against David Adkins, a state senator from Leawood and Kline's opponent in the Republican primary.

In that instance, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, based in Falls Church, Va., waged a blistering television campaign against Adkins. The group reportedly was affiliated with the gun rights lobby.

Adkins estimated the Law Enforcement Alliance spent $250,000 on the ad blitz. And he said the existence of independent groups entering campaigns "is why people hate campaign finance."

When Adkins faced Kline in the primary, Adkins said Tiller's Pro Kan Do PAC put out a campaign postcard against Kline, but the mailing backfired.

The card said Kline wanted to go back to the days of "coat hangers," when women received illegal abortions.

"It was the most irresponsible political tactic," Adkins said, adding that it probably cost him the votes of thousands of people disgusted by the mailing's harsh tone. Adkins said he was so angry at Pro Kan Do he sent back a $2,000 contribution he received from the PAC.

Not misleading

An official with Kansans for Democratic Leadership said his group's pro-Biggs radio ads were not misleading about the source of their funding.

"Clearly, with an independent expenditure, any group could have done the same thing," said Chris Gallaway, who at the time was executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party and treasurer of Kansans for Democratic Leadership. "Tiller could have called himself ‘Republicans for Biggs' and done the exact same thing," he said.

While the money came through Pro Kan Do, Gallaway said it wasn't specifically earmarked by that group to help Biggs. Tom Sawyer, who was chairman of the Kansas Democratic Party, said Democrats at the time were trying to raise money for Biggs, as he was climbing in the polls.

Neither Gallaway nor Sawyer could say why Pro Kan Do didn't simply do independent campaigning itself but speculated Pro Kan Do could have been focusing on other political races.

"We were trying to raise money for Chris Biggs," Sawyer said. "They (Pro Kan Do) eventually came through for Chris Biggs, but it wasn't easy to do. When you're raising money, you talk about what you're raising money for, what projects. At that point, we were trying to do some last-minute stuff for Chris Biggs."

The movement of Tiller's money from one PAC to another was not caught by the media during the campaign, but was revealed to the Journal-World by Kline's staff and other supporters. It was faxed to the newspaper on pages that included the attorney general's letterhead. The Journal-World confirmed the findings by reviewing campaign finance documents.

Biggs unaware

Kline said the original research was done by a supporter.

Earl Glynn, of Overland Park, earlier this week started e-mailing the information to various groups and writing letters to newspapers.

"I think the public should know about things like this," Glynn said of the $153,000 donation from Tiller. "One individual should not be able to influence politics without someone in the press" bringing it to the public's attention.

Cindy Luxem, who served as a campaign spokeswoman for Biggs during last year's race, said the Biggs campaign wasn't aware of Kansans for Democratic Leadership, nor the group's expenditures advocating for Biggs.

Under the law, groups doing independent expenditures cannot consult with the candidate's campaign.

Currently, the last public disclosure comes eight days before the election. The next report is not filed until about two months after the election.

Williams said there had been several attempts to change state laws to require more timely disclosure of campaign contributions as election days approach, but they have failed.

Join us as we target the largest chain of pornography stores in Wichita: X-citement video. They have five locations in Wichita, and we will be at all five of them. We have been witnessing at one store most every Friday and Saturday evenings for several months now. We have had such an effect on them that they recently changed all their staff. They moved all of the ones at the Harry store to another store and replaced them. I also recently spoke with one of the owners while we were there. Believe it or not, he says he is a Christian!

We will meet at Spirit One Christian Center, at 1515 E. Harry St., at 7:30 p.m.; call 303-0095 for more information. We will have extra signs for you to hold, or you can bring or make you own. Those who want to can speak and witness to those going in. Those who prefer to hold a sign, praise and worship, or pray can do that also. We will also have tracts about pornography available or you can bring your own.

If possible please bring a video camera and your Bible.

Childcare will also be available at Spirit One Christian Center. However, if you will be in need of childcare it is mandatory that you contact Pastor Mark E. Holick at Spirit One, 303.0095, to let us know so that proper arrangements and workers can be arranged.

We will meet back at Spirit One at 10:30 p.m. to share and hear all the great testimonies that will occur because of the Saints of Wichita being the church. Let your church and pastor know. Let's get other out in the battle to save our nation.

From the Heart of Donna (See pictures below

Praise the Lord for His Mighty Power Shown on July 4th, 2003!

All glory and power goes to the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We’ve been praying for a strategy and the Lord has answered our prayers.

On Friday evening July 4th over 80 people gathered to represent the Lord in a demonstration against abortion in our city. There was no way anyone could have come to this event in the center of “beautiful” Wichita and not be reminded of the blight and curse on our city. The theme was “…justice for all?” We all wore black shirts with an aborted baby on a flag and on the back of the shirts the writing said, “Hear no abortion, see no abortion, speak no abortion, Wichita’s Holocaust.” In other words the message was, “I don’t want to see abortion, I don’t want to talk about abortion, and I don’t want to hear about abortion.” The message came through loud and clear as thousands passed by and received either a gospel tract or information about what Christians MUST do about this murder in our city.

It was awesome to watch those ministering. Their giftings were in full swing. Some prayed, some spoke and shared their faith, some acted out the mime. Others held signs and, still, others evangelized. This was truly the Lord. Many Christians walked by and were encouraging us to keep it up. Some wanted to know where they could buy a shirt. The opposition was fierce at Lawrence Dumont Stadium for awhile. A group of young men were having a get together and decided to oppose the Christian witness. Later, after delivering many vulgarities, one came back and apologized for his friends. Another came back and shared that his girlfriend had been in a crisis pregnancy and decided to keep her baby. Some of our people are going back to see them on Thursday. Please be in prayer. Watch for other opportunities to join us. This is only the beginning.

From the Heart of Donna Re: 4th of July Event

From the heart of Donna…

Dear Friends of the Unborn,

As I’ve been pondering the event we have planned for this Friday. I went back to the scripture that the Lord had for me. The Lord started impressing that scripture in my spirit in 1989, it wasn’t until 1991 that I knew what I was to do. Ezekiel 3:17, “Son of Man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel, so hear the word I speak and speak it from me. If you do not, I will hold you accountable for the blood, but if you speak it to them, I will hold them accountable.” Day after day, week after week, and now year after year, He continually reminds me of my mission. I’ll be honest with you, many times I feel stretched, out of my comfort zone, challenged and uncomfortable. I think,

Lord, do I really have to do this? Then I remember His words and go. Recently, I’ve been reading the gospels with a new emphasis. I’m looking for how many times the Lord rebuked, and question why we hear so little about this. He’s using, little old ladies, Grandmas, Grandpas, little boys, and girls, Moms and Dads, you and me, to speak for Him because many “leaders” have decided it doesn’t sound very charitable, loving, compassionate or kind. Some believe tolerance is merciful, but God’s word says differently. He says, we are to “Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Our Lord.” If we approach this event in any other manner, we won’t represent the Lord. We’ve been praying for the spirit of Joshua and Caleb to fall on this city. I’m praying for each of you to receive the spirit of Joshua and Caleb this 4th of July and join us at A. Price Woodard Park between 5-9 p.m to stand in the gap for the children, our country and our Lord. We will be speaking out for those who have no voice.

Abortion is a Gospel Issue and we have 5,000 gospel tracts to be handed out. At 5pm, everyone will be meeting at the boat where you will be given your shirt (cost $13.00); assigned to one of 4 groups; given assignment example sign holder, gospel tract distribution, abortion information distribution, or possibly one of the people sitting in chairs with hands over ears and eyes shut (message implied "I don't want to see abortion, I don't want to talk about abortion, I don't want to hear about abortion)

We really are praying for about 100 people. Please recruit others to come and speak up for the sake of Wichita's future.

As I was reading this morning in the book of Acts, I read that before they stoned Stephen, he was "speaking" to them. He said, " Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. “ (Acts 7:51-53). Acts 7:54 records the response of those listening: “When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.”

The Pharisees were furious, some might be furious with us; I pray not. However, Stephen was a man of God. He knew he must tell them "speak" to them, or the blood would be on his hands. We need men and women of God who are anointed by the Holy Spirit. We're asking you to fast from tonight at sunset to tomorrow night at sunset, that we might receive an anointing to stand boldly for the Lord.

Call us at 612-3500 if you have any questions.

Lord Bless and Keep you,

Donna

Some thoughts on the recent opinion of Attorney General, Phil Kline

“And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and beatified her head and looked out a window.” And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said had Zimri peace, who slew his master? And Jehu lifted up his face to the window and said “Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw her down! So they threw her down...and trode her under foot. Go now this cursed women and bury her...and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field...” 2 Kings 9:30-37

I praise God for the opinion given last week by our Attorney General, Phil Kline, requiring by law all abortion clinics to file reports of criminal sexual abuse anytime a girl under 16 is pregnant. The law prohibits adults from with those under 16 because they are legally below the age of consent. The crime is called statutory rape or aggravated indecent liberties, and is punishable in the state of Kansas. By law, all medical facilities and their professional personnel are under obligation to report all knowledge of such a crime to the local child protective services.

Unfortunately, in 1992, the preceding Attorney General, Bob Stephen had interpreted the law of reporting to be only necessary if there was evidence of abuse or harm done to the child. His position was that pregnancy among children under 16, is not inherently evidence of injury. Imagine that, the exploitation, molestation and sexual violation of a child by an adult is not necessarily harmful to the child and therefore does not always require reporting! How ridiculous! I am glad he is no longer our Attorney General! The new Attorney General has identified four different crimes that may apply in cases of voluntary and involuntary with children, which he says “makes all of those acts sexual abuse”.

What has risen from the past interpretation was the protection of s and sexual predators by the abortion industry. This problem exists not only in our state but also throughout our nation. Pregnant children are going into clinics all over this country, having abortions, and the criminal involved is not being reported by the clinics to the state for investigation. In the state of Kansas, there were twice as many abortions performed last year on girls 14 and under as there were child sexual abuse investigations. This does not include the 15 years olds that also require reporting. The vast majority of Planned Parenthood facilities throughout the nation have been found coaching young women to lie about their age or the age of their adult partners in order to circumvent the law of reporting. The result is that the abortion industry is harboring and protecting child molesters, s and child rapist. This is an outrage! And that is one of the reasons why our Attorney General’s opinion is so important.

Of course those that advocate child killing on demand were very unhappy with the opinion. The paper quoted some as saying the opinion was “bizarre” and involves the Attorney General’s personal desire “to limit choices” of women. These types of negative responses to the opinion of a law that rightly interpreted will actually protect women, proves that women are not the primary concern of the abortion industry. The primary concern of the abortion industry is the preservation of the industry itself. This is why appeals to logic, moral decency, and even common sense concerning the plight of women and children do not work. Their goal is to preserve the industry, not promote the well being of women or children. I hope this is obvious to all.

This morning I was reading the story of Jehu in the Bible. Jehu was a servant of the Lord called to administer God’s justice by killing a woman named Jezebel who was responsible for the deaths of many people. When he arrived at the city of Jezreel where she lived, he found her at the gate of the city (which always speaks of authority) displaying herself in a window. She had “painted her face”, and “made herself beautiful”, all right before she was about to die. She also was mocking God and his servants right up until the end.

It reminds me of the entire abortion industry who is also responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people. They know their days are drawing to an end and yet they still speak “at the gates” of the cities as if they had some legitimate moral authority behind what they are saying. They are still displaying themselves as the great defenders of the rights of women. Still “painting their faces” for the public to see trying to make their depraved and despicable industry appear beautiful. Still arrogantly mocking God and His servants. And just like Jezebel, the act and the deception will go on until the end. But there is an end and I believe it is near. Jehu comes. The cursed women Jezebel is “thrown down” and “dies” and is “trode... under foot” and eventually “buried”.

May God raise up Governors, Mayors and Attorney Generals all over the country that are animated with the spirit of Jehu. And when they call out to the people, “Who is on my side?” may they hear the voice of the Church of Jesus Christ. And when they say, “throw her down”, may they find like the eunuchs a Church still standing near the problem ready to throw her to the ground. And let “her carcase be as the dung upon the face of the field” forever.

Thank you and may God bless all that you do on His behalf.

A Word From Pastor Daniel

Oh, those heavy matters!

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”

- Matthew 23:23

There was no other Man that spoke like the Lord Jesus. His words completely clothed those who knew they were naked, and at the same time stripped those who thought they were clothed. Even today, this dressing and undressing is characteristic of His Ministry.

On this occasion, Jesus tells a group of dressed people that their faith was hypocritical because in their worship of God, they were consistent and precise in the small and less important matters, but they neglected the heavier ones, those things that are most important to God. He tells them the small matters should be done without disregarding the heavy ones.

He boldly charges them with neglect, and pronounces their worship hypocritical all because of those “heavy matters”. He identifies these matters as “justice, mercy and faith”. “Justice” means “the virtue of giving to everyone what is their due”. “Mercy” is the immediate regard for the misery that is caused by sin. “Faith” is an absolute confidence and trust in God.

He describes their worship as having no regard for those who were being treated unfairly, who were not receiving what was rightfully theirs. They had no regard for those suffering under the pain and consequences of their sins. Their worship was absent of an active faith in God that could bring about change, BUT they were steadfast and faithful in “mint, anise, and cummin”.

He declares to them, “Woe unto you”. “Woe” is not a pronouncement of judgment that one makes in the height of anger, it is more an explanation of grief and deep sadness. The Savior was deeply grieved over worship that had become consistent and precise in all the small matters and yet so far removed from that which was really important to God.

With a broken heart, grieved over their blindness, He tells them, “these things you ought to have done”. He tells them if they were truly worshipping God, they would have done something! There is no way around this statement; our Lord condemns their worship because of what they did not do in relation to those “heavy matters”. The word he used is “done” – not “thought or “believe”. According to Jesus, justice and mercy are more than philosophies or ideals; they are principals of conduct that spring from the true Worship of the Living God.

Oh, those “heavy matters”! How they tend to undress us especially when we thought ourselves to be so nicely dressed in the “mint, anise an in”. Oh, that we might be clothed again with worship that includes those “heavy matters”. Our attitude towards “heavy matters” is probably a good indicator of the true nature and condition of our worship. May the Lord re-clothe what His Words have unclothed in all of our lives. May it never be said again to His people, “you ought to have done these things”.

As we all know, children are being murdered every day in our city. Mothers and fathers are experiencing great pain and misery because of their sins. They are being misled, deceived and abused by criminals who have found a safe, comfortable place in our city. Proceeds from the murder of these children have helped build and currently operate the “Exploration Place”, a museum downtown that was created for the benefit of children. And finally, after 30 years of political failure, much of the church is still placing all their hope on a political solution!

With all this in mind, what are we going to offer the Lord? More “mint anise and cummin”? I pray not. May we be found just as faithful in the “heavy matters” of our Lord, as we are in the smaller.

“Open your mouth for the dumb (those unable to speak for themselves), for the rights of all who are left desolate and defenseless; open your mouth, judge righteously and administer justice for the poor and needy.”

- Proverbs 31:8-9 AMP

Thank you and may God bless all that you do on His behalf.

From the Heart of Donna

Except we die, for the Glory of God

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”

- John 12:24, 25

What sort of sacrifice is the Lord asking of you? What in your life must die so that fruit will come forth? As I have been reading in our Bible reading guide, I’ve asked myself these questions. I’ve discovered that there are many things He’s asking of me. What comforts do I think are required in this world? Am I really so spoiled that I cannot deny myself to bring forth fruit? It’s a cause to ponder, little things, big things, what can I do today, Lord, to die to myself and my comforts to bring forth fruit in my relationship with Him, my marriage, my home, among my children, in my ministry, for you Lord?

This scripture has allowed me to scrutinize my motivations, my thoughts, my lifestyle, and this ministry. In context, Jesus was talking to His disciples about what was going to be required of Him. It was the Passover feast, and He was trying to prepare them in some way for what was to come.

It was required of our Lord to die. It’s required of us to die. In my marriage, if I don’t die to myself, I cannot expect fruit. I need to guard my lips and my thoughts; I need to plan ways to honor Bob and put him before my comforts and me. When I do this, fruit is reaped in our relationship. I’m beginning to look for fruit.

Jesus said in John 12:28-29, 32

”Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered, others said, An angel spake to Him…(32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.”

This is the fruit we all should want. When we die to ourselves, to our selfishness, our comforts, our agendas, the Lord will see and draw men to Himself through us. Lord, give us your grace to die to ourselves so there will be much fruit. I’m asking for the Lord’s voice to “thunder” in my life, your life, and in this ministry.

Don’t let Satan snatch from us the sacrificial life. Sure, it’s comfortable to sleep in on Saturdays. Some others will be at the clinic, and that’s what’s important. But for the glory of God – and not just what He’ll do for us – let us die. As we sacrifice, babies will be saved, He’ll draw men unto Him for salvation, young people will be watching and begin to live their lives for the Lord, our children will know they need to go further into the Kingdom as they watch us die to ourselves.

Is this fruit? It’s the best kind of fruit. Self-gratification is humanism; doing ministry so we’ll get rewarded is humanism. Let us die to ourselves, for the GLORY OF GOD.

Quote & Verse of the Week

So when we fight for the lives of pre-born baby boys and girls, we are always reminded that we are really engaged in a Gospel battle. We believe, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish every argument and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

Russian Adoption Opportunities Update

OSA Wichita is still waiting on more information about the Russian adoption opportunities.

Letter From Art Morgan, Faithful Pro-Life Servant

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

It was wonderful to hear the news from the recent Jericho event. We have been so busy preparing for our upcoming move to New Jersey that we were not able to participate. As we leave Wichita, we are experiencing a lot of thoughts, memories, and emotions. About 20 years ago, I was driving at night on I-235 on the overpass near West street. As I looked out across the lights of the whole city, the Lord spoke to my heart, "someday I'm going to use you to touch this city." That word has always stayed in my mind, and as I have followed the Lord through the years, I have wondered what the fulfillment might be. Now that I am leaving, I would have to say that the most significant thing I have done in the city of Wichita is through my involvement with all of you in the activities and events of Operation Save America.

As we pour out our hearts before the Lord at the gates of hell, we become salt being poured into the putrid spring of death that has polluted this city. We speak in faith with Elisha, "This is what the Lord says: 'I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.' " (2 Kings 2:21) This very spot of ground will be a place of memorial, a place of children's laughter, a place of wholesomeness for the city and region. Because of this healing of the putrid spring, God will bless the health of our people. He will make wombs fertile and bring peace, safety, and fidelity to families. Our government will operate in wisdom and justice, and our economy will prosper.

As you carry on the work here in Wichita, rest assured that you are touching this city--in a powerful way that brings eternal consequences. God bless you with peace and joy as you follow His will and purpose.

Love in Christ,

Art Morgan

WE WILL MISS YOU ART AND KATHY MORGAN! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU! WE LOVE YOU BOTH.
