THE DNC HAS DECLARED WAR ON RANDALL TERRY'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
The DNC has circulated a letter decrying Randall Terry's 'campaign' and as such, has convinced several of the stations that had previously agreed to run teh campaign ads as required by law, have now turned tail and are using a letter sent by the DNC 'debunking' Mr. Terry's candidacy. Here is Mr. Terry's response. (To see a copy of the DNC letter, please go to http://www.jillstanek.com/)
The Letter We Just Sent to All 13 Stations in Oklahoma and Missouri
Demanding They Ignore the Obama Machine, and Run Our Super Bowl Ad
By Randall A. Terry
"Be advised and forewarned: should you refuse to run my ad, in the light of all the facts outlined in this letter (and the attempted deceit and strong-arming of the DNC) we will that request the FCC revoke your broadcast license, and grant it to someone more worthy than yourself, who takes his civic duty regarding free elections with more honor, respect, and gravity than you do.
"We both know that the DNC and Obama team are terrified of the political and electoral impact of my campaign ad. They fear the loss of votes of Catholic Democrats (of which I am one) that are appalled by the President’s policies. That is why they are calling on you to do their political bidding." Randall Terry
(Here is the text of the letter going to TV stations that are tempted to yield to Obama's pressure. Again, I beg your prayers that we prevail according to law, and that you give as generously as you can to these ads. Click here to give.)
Dear Sir or Madam.
I am Randall Terry, Democrat Candidate for President of the United States. My media rep, Kathy Offerman, has purchased airtime on your station to run a campaign ad during the Super Bowl, or in a pre-game show. As a legal candidate under the definition of FCC law [Section 73.1940 [47 CFR §73.1940] we have no intention of allowing that ad purchase to be cancelled.
You are in receipt of a letter from Democrat National Committee (DNC) Executive Director Patrick Gaspard dated January 27, 2012. In that letter, Mr. Gaspard stated: “Mr. Terry is not a bona fide Democrat candidate or a representative of the Democrat National Committee.” He concluded the letter, “Mr. Terry’s claims to be a Democrat candidate for President are false. Accordingly, he should not be accorded the benefits of someone conducting a legitimate campaign for public office.” As these two statements deal with the essence of his letter, and your stations subsequent contemplated cancellation of my ad, I will deal with them both in turn.
First, I make no claim to represent the DNC. Such representation, or lack thereof, is meaningless in the issue at hand. No one has to be a representative of the DNC to be a legally qualified candidate for office.
Second, I am a registered Democrat in the State of West Virginia. The fact that I changed parties is again irrelevant. (Not to mention the fact that Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Winston Churchill changed parties; I follow in a long and proud tradition.)
Third, by every legal definition of the FEC and the FCC, I am a bona fide Candidate for the Office of the President of the United States.
Concerning the Federal Election Commission (FEC), we have filed – and continue to file – all required documents and financial records required by law from my campaign committee and me.
Concerning the FCC – and my right to run TV ads on an FCC licensed broadcast facility within the 45-day window of a primary – I am a legally qualified candidate. The law states [Section 73.1940 [47 CFR §73.1940] in the germane sections:
(a) A legally qualified candidate for public office is any person who: (1) Has publicly announced his or her intention to run for nomination or office;
(2) Is qualified under the applicable local, State or Federal law to hold the office for which he or she is a candidate; and
(3) Has met the qualifications set forth in either paragraph (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this section.
- I have publicly announced my intention to run for office;
- I am qualified under the applicable local, State or Federal law to hold the office for which I am a candidate;
- I have met the qualifications set forth in paragraph (b), which states:
(b) A person seeking election to any public office including that of President or Vice President of the United States, or nomination for any public office except that of President or Vice President, by means of a primary, general or special election, shall be considered a legally qualified candidate if, in addition to meeting the criteria set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, that person:
(1) Has qualified for a place on the ballot;
I have qualified for a place on the ballot in both Missouri and Oklahoma.
For Missouri, see:
For Oklahoma, see:
In short, I am, by every definition, a legally qualified candidate for President, who has qualified for a place on the ballot.
And your station, therefore, is legally obligated by your FCC license to run my campaign ad without censorship, editing, etc.
I now turn to Mr. Gaspard’s closing statement: “Mr. Terry’s claims to be a Democrat candidate for President are false. Accordingly, he should not be accorded the benefits of someone conducting a legitimate campaign for public office.”
This, of course, is the crux of the matter. Mr. Gaspard is unethically suggesting a path for you to defy FCC law; he knows it, and you know it.
Or put another way, his letter seeks to give you “legal cover” or “plausible confusion” in order that you break the law, and refuse to run my campaign ad.
But should you willingly embrace such deceit, you will find that his cover has holes in it, and that you alone will bear the responsibility for “willful or repeated failure to allow reasonable access to or to permit purchase of reasonable amounts of time for the use of a broadcasting station, other than a non-commercial educational broadcast station, by a legally qualified candidate for Federal elective office on behalf of his candidacy.” (Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] Administrative sanctions.(a) (7) )
In case I am unclear on what I am saying, let me be more specific.
The administrative sanctions delineated in 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] define your “willful” and “repeated” refusal to run my campaign ads as follows:
(1) The term “willful”, when used with reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the conscious and deliberate commission or omission of such act, irrespective of any intent to violate any provision of this Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission authorized by this Act or by a treaty ratified by the United States. [Emphasis added]
(2) The term “repeated”, when used with reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the commission or omission of such act more than once or, if such commission or omission is continuous, for more than one day.
Your station will not be able to hide behind the spurious and deceitful letter written by Mr. Gaspard, stating in effect: “We did not intend to violate the law! We did not intend to violate a provision of FCC regulations!’
If you deny me my rights as a federal candidate, you will be committing a willful violation of the law. And you know it.
Mr. Gaspard’s letter is not the law; it has NO BEARING on the law and the facts at hand regarding my candidacy, and your legal duty to run the ad of a legally qualified candidate.
Nowhere in the FCC code are the wishes or desires of any political party given any role regarding federal candidates, or their right to run TV ads according to law. If you try and introduce or hide behind the specious argument that the DNC should decide what ads you air, or who is a candidate under the law, you alone will bear the consequences.
Be advised and forewarned: should you refuse to run my ad, in the light of all the facts outlined in this letter (and the attempted deceit and strong-arming of the DNC) we will that request the FCC revoke your broadcast license, and grant it to someone more worthy than yourself, who takes his civic duty regarding free elections with more honor, respect, and gravity than you do.
Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] Administrative sanctions of the FCC commission states “(a) The Commission may revoke any station license or construction permit – (7) for willful or repeated failure to allow reasonable access to or to permit purchase of reasonable amounts of time for the use of a broadcasting station, other than a non-commercial educational
broadcast station, by a legally qualified candidate for Federal elective office on behalf of his candidacy.” In CBS, Inc. v. FCC, the Supreme Court held that §312(a)(7) guarantees a “legally qualified candidate” “reasonable access” and that even one failure to abide by this law can result in revocation of the station's license. We will pursue that rememedy.
We both know that the DNC and Obama team are terrified of the political and electoral impact of my campaign ad. They fear the loss of votes of Catholic Democrats (of which I am one) that are appalled by the President’s policies. That is why they are calling on you to do their political bidding.
But is it really worth risking your license to hinder free elections and do the bidding of the DNC? Do you really think the DNC/Obama team will take the heat and the blame when your license is revoked because you choose to willfully violated FCC law? Do you think they will step up and say: “We advised them to violate federal law?” They will wash their hands of you faster than a nurse dealing with leprosy. Look again at Mr. Gaspard’s letter. It was written in a way that they could deny any wrongdoing; you will be hung out to dry on your own.
Your station will be hearing from an Attorney this afternoon. If your station declares it will not run my ad, we will file for immediate relief from the FCC.
Therefore starting today, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, should your station delay in any way to run my campaign ad for “more than one day” as delineated in Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312], we will request that your broadcast license be revoked.
I hope this letter clarifies our position, and that we can proceed with our TV ad purchase(s) as ordered, in accordance with the law.
Sincerely,
Randall Terry
Democrat Candidate for President

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
George Offerman
It is interesting. As more and more of the lame stream media write about Randall Terry’s candidacy and subsequent purchases of air times before and during the Super Bowl, it draws more attention to the message. However, too many of the ‘prolife’ groups and the movement in general are either ignoring the news, or are actually resisting it, and insisting they are doing as much, if not more to draw attention to the pro life issue, and doing it in a way that is not ‘offensive’ to most people’s sensibilities. Really? Why haven’t I or anyone else then seen or heard of these wondrous works that is bringing the issue of legalized child killing front and center in this election cycle?
There are some prominent pro lifers out there who are promoting the candidacy of Randall Terry, which ultimately allows for the full and complete exposure of dead babies without any apology or sanitization of the message. Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller, whose photographs are being utilized for the commercials has stated “What Randall Terry is doing is bold, clever and necessary” in that it is forcing Americans to view the hidden truth of legalized child killing and forcing a crisis of consciousness upon people.
Joe Scheidler, acclaimed as the "Godfather of Pro-life activism," says:
"Randy's campaign will save thousands of babies' lives. Let's help him!"
Jill Stanek, renowned pro-life columnist, says:
"Airing graphic ads during the Super Bowl represent a unique opportunity to show a huge number Americans the truth about abortion during the one time a year they actually look forward to watching commercials rather than ignoring them. Donate to air the ads here. The more money Terry gets, the more times he can run the ad."
It is wonderful to see these three individuals whose leadership is very well known within the prolife movement, as well as a few of the pro life news sites, promote this idea and see the need to show graphic pictures of dead babies, unedited during one of the most premier events of the year. How unfortunate though, that the majority of the supposed pro life ‘leaders’ are once again MIA from this opportunity, and are pedaling their own efforts as at least as ‘noble and good’ or even superior to showing dead babies unedited during the Super Bowl. How do I know that? By the responses given by the leaders who have been approached and were asked to help with this effort.
I would like to throw out a challenge to these leaders (which make up the majority in the pro life movement). What are you doing to bring attention to ending legalized child killing, and why have we not heard about it? If all efforts are as ‘noble’ and as ‘good’ and as ‘effective’ where is the press coverage for your efforts? What about the hate mail and death threats the Terry campaign is receiving? Are you receiving the same? What about the resistance one would expect from other ‘pro lifers’ when moving out of the comfort zone and actually confronting this grizzly and evil reality? Is anyone else, anywhere running or showing unedited graphic ads on television that are getting national and international press and coverage? I don’t see any and have not heard of any. But I am still receiving tons of mail and e-mail wanting me to ‘contribute’ to many of these groups that claim to be hot on the trail of ending legalized child killing. (While never mentioning the words legalized child killing or abortion and not using graphic images).
No, some efforts are superior to others, and efforts that convey half truths, are way more evil than those that present a full frontal assault on truth, as those efforts by the pro deathers do. If these self-proclaimed leaders want to believe hiding from the truth and placating the enemy is the same morally as fearlessly telling the unvarnished truth, then these self-proclaimed leaders are very delusional, and drinking their own brand of cherry Kool-Aid. Mediocrity has not been, nor ever will be excellence and no amount of window dressing and flattering language will change this fact.
These so called leaders know who they are, and for them to be so arrogant and self-aggrandizing that they think hiding in their kitchens and behind keyboards while throwing out their messages and organizing virtual protests is the same as taking bullets on the battlefield shows why there is little fear of legalized child killing ever coming to an end on their watch. These leaders have no idea how to fight and win this war. If they had any idea, they would gratefully promote and support efforts to get pictures of dead babies into the living rooms of Americans so they would have to look directly upon the ‘choice’ that the evil people have forced down the throats of this once great country. But no, there is too much fear and too much placation of the enemy and too many ‘reward points’ to be lost if these leaders actually put themselves on the line for the babies.
There is no question that most of these leaders cannot be trusted to forward the naked truth of legalized child killing because they are too scared to do so. When there are very lame ‘justifications’ such as claiming all efforts are morally ‘equal’, clearly these people have disqualified themselves as being true agents of change. These so called leaders obviously do not see an unprecedented opportunity and are too busy worrying about how insignificant they will look in comparison to the mediocre efforts put forth on their watch to understand they could be part of a force that becomes unstoppable. But most likely, one more time, this effort will be wasted, and the majority in this ‘movement’ will ignore this effort, while the lame stream media, one more time, CLEANS UP ON THEM.
Please, for the sake of the babies, contribute to the Randall Terry for president campaign, and truly make a difference for the babies. To contribute, go to:

NOW WE LOOK AT THE SCORE
George Offerman
The elections are over and it is time to assess what went well, and what did not. There will be many of the pro life organizations that will take credit for this outcome, as I have already witnessed in some of the ‘press releases’ by a few of the pro life media outlets. These same organizations will revel in the incremental and snail paced changes they believe they caused, and most likely they will not bother to mention the little fact of the tea party in this outcome. Truth be told, the pro-life movement was non-existent in this election and all the rhetoric and BS they will come up with will not change that fact.
This is easily verifiable by looking at the importance of the issues, and who is driving the debate. It is very apparent the number one issue by far, is getting the out of control spending and entitlement goodie basket back in line. Next is creating jobs, then accountability and transparency in government dealings. This vote was a referendum on stopping the rapid takeover of this country by socialistic/fascist elements that believes government knows better than the individual, and thus should have a prominent role and say so in the day to day life of the ‘incompetent’ American. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere, did the life issue come up at all.
However, the capital area was abuzz with the 225 ads that Missy Smith was able to run, and it has created controversy in this metro area of nearly 4 million people. This basically occurred in less than 3 weeks, mainly WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY PRO LIFE ORGANIZATIONS other than the Insurecta Nex team, and advanced more discussion and true education on the issue of legalized child killing than the rest of the multi million dollar funded, 501c3 organizations combined. For the first time ever, the Washington, D.C area got to see firsthand, the bloody and gory reality of legalized child killing and for the first time since the cursed Roe decision, the forces of death had to confront and defend the reality of their creation, and all they could come up with was derision and hate. It showed their true nature, and many people, who on the surface look moderate, were shaken to their core, and now have many of these images ‘burned in their memories’. That is how real change takes place, not this mamby pamby BS that is sold as real activism by these impotent organizations.
A challenge was put out by Missy Smith’s campaign to the major players and ‘leaders’ in the pro-life movement. There were three simple requests, and all three could have been met without any threat to non-profit status or violation of the 501c3 status. These three requests were 1) endorse Missy Smith personally, 2) donate to Missy’s campaign personally and 3) send out or link Missy’s site to the distribution lists. Do you know how many organizations or leaders did these three items? Ambassador Alan Keyes of The Conservative Majority PAC, Jack Ames of Defend Life, and blogger Jill Stanek. That’s it!!! There were a few who completed one or two of the requests, but most requests were ignored. And this is after all the ‘hoopla’ over how the MSM continually ‘hoses’ the pro-life movement, and after all of the fuss over how candidates run for office, yet sells out the movement once in office. Missy Smith represented both of these facets 100%, and she received the best coverage from the likes of the Washington Post, CNN and the other ‘hated’ MSM outlets that supposedly never tell the true story of legalized child killing. Well, who got caught with their pants down now?
What should be obvious by now to the front line pro lifer is that the vast majority of these supposed pro life organizations are nothing more than organizations that are more concerned over their continued existence and funding than truly ending legalized child killing. We have documented the letters and phone calls to these leaders and organizations, and will be putting out a ‘report card’ on them. It is only fair that their donors know what these organizations and leaders are up to with their money, and the donors should be given an option to fund those organizations that truly are about ending this holocaust. These donors should know how their money has been absconded and wasted in the name of ‘saving babies’ when in fact, it is for the proliferation of the organizations themselves.
Think about it. If an organization has a 501c3 status, and they claim they cannot call out any candidates by name that are pro death, and likewise, cannot by name, endorse a pro-life candidate, why do they fund raise for elections? Is this not a scam in the first degree? But that’s exactly what these organizations claimed, and they will now take credit for the ‘landslide’ in the Republican victories that the tea party actually created. Does this not boil the blood of the front line pro lifer who truly wants to see this bloody holocaust end? Why do these organizations claim to be faith based, when the IRS is their god, and they bow to man’s laws instead of God Almighty? They have their priorities, and the laws of God backwards.
So, over the next several weeks to months, we will be spotlighting these leaders and organizations and ‘calling them out’. We will be naming names and informing those who butter the bread of these organizations that their butter is ending up on moldy bread. For legalized child killing to truly end, we must use graphic images, and confront, face to face, the forces of death. That means getting rid of the shackles of the cursed 501c3 status, and facing the fact we are going to royally piss off the forces of evil. That is the way, and the path is narrow, and lightly traveled.

PRO LIFER'S CLOSE MINDEDNESS
George Offerman
There continues to be demonstrated confusion among many in the pro life movement about means of conduct in general, and the Roeder situation in particular. It seems more and more, there is rigidity in thought and behavior, and what one should do, be and think if pro life according to their definition. The problem is, this formula is not working, and the seeds of defeat are already sown into this.
One has to look no further than 37 years nearly 52 million dead, increases in every type of debauchery, violence and substance abuse, coupled with the deafening silence of the churches, and the very well known strategy of incrementalism espoused by the mainstream pro life movement. Why many continue to argue we are winning, and the goal of the pro life movement is to change hearts and to educate goes to show how out to lunch the mainstream pro lifers really are.
It is very disturbing to see people of high reputation in this movement, such as Gregg Cunningham, continue to go after those who think differently than him, and it is safe to say that Gregg Cunningham would be a mainstream pro lifer. What is disturbing about Mr. Cunningham in his attacks on Randall Terry, then Jill Stanek, is the intolerance for any thoughts other than his. Neither of these people “condoned” Roeder’s killing of Tiller, yet the rigidity is there. No tolerance for any questions or thoughts outside of Mr. Cunningham’s and this goes to show how highly Mr. Cunningham thinks of his own thoughts.
I came across an article written 3 years ago by Neal Horsley, then a candidate for governor for the state of Georgia. In this article, Mr. Horsley goes into great detail concerning the problems of the pro life movement, and how leaders such as Mr. Cunningham actually do harm by confusion they sow into the debate. Mr. Horsley takes it a step further, and uses the term treason, to describe what Mr. Cunningham and others are doing, and in essence locking in legalized child killing as the law of the land, versus really changing it. I will place a few paragraphs from this article below, and the rest of the article can be found using the link after the quotes.
THE FUNDAMENTAL CONFUSION OF GREGG CUNNINGHAM, ET AL
CBR makes it their business to send a stream of trucks--trucks costing millions of dollars--across the nation and the world. On the side of those trucks in pictures ten feet tall we see the dead, eviscerated bodies of little people, people who were killed in the USA with the full protection of LAW, the full protection of the federal government of the USA. But at the same time CBR does that, CBR issues messages to the Christians and others in this nation that unequivocally tell everyone that they must support the government that creates the conditions leading to the pictures on the side on their trucks. CBR issues definitions of "violence" that make it clear people are not even allowed TO THINK ("justifiable homicide is not cognizable," CBR tells us) about treating the babies who are pictured on their trucks the way we would expect every other person in this nation to be treated if they were in imminent danger of being torn limb from limb like those babies.
With this fundamental contradiction in view, is there anybody alive who fails to see the confusion CBR creates?
While it is true that God sometimes brought confusion into the camp of those who opposed Him. It has never been the case, nor will it ever be the case, that God brings confusion among those who live their lives in His service. The presence of confusion within the Body of Christ is ALWAYS a sign that the Body has been invaded by a virus, an alien trespassing agent, an invader that must in time be cut off from the Body unless the whole Body be destroyed.
http://www.christiangallery.com/prolifetreason.html
The sad part about much of Mr. Cunningham’s writings is the fact he uses the term anti abortion in many instances versus pro life, but seems to use this term as a pejorative to those he does not agree with. In his own definition of violence, Mr. Cunningham states it is “Physical assaults against the person or property of people who perform elective pregnancy terminations”. In looking at this terminology, Mr. Cunningham does not even acknowledge human life and the murderous implications it holds. This language, especially “elective pregnancy terminations’ is more Orwellian and soft petals the whole aspect of child killing. I guess as long as one doesn’t acknowledge that a human being is being brutally murdered, we can agree on this ghastly definition.
By sugarcoating child killing with neutral wording, Mr. Cunningham is actually promoting and propagating legalized child killing. It would seem that Mr. Horsley is correct in stating that Mr. Cunningham does not see an end to the “legalized’ piece of the child killing, for if it were so, the child killer could not have a set office, with set times to do set procedures (murders) and be handsomely paid, for immoral and illegal acts. Like crack houses or moon shiners, force would be used to stop the activities, and the perpetrators would be in jail immediately.
Words mean things. When someone of the stature of Mr. Cunningham uses his legalese to sugarcoat the activities of a heinous enterprise, he is only propagating this system, and may want to use whatever defense he may, but my request to Mr. Cunningham is at least don’t claim to do it in the name of the Living God, when minimizing the destruction of his most precious creation.

CBR issues definitions of "violence" that make it clear people are not even allowed TO THINK ("justifiable homicide is not cognizable," CBR tells us) about treating the babies who are pictured on their trucks the way we would expect every other person in this nation to be treated if they were in imminent danger of being torn limb from limb like those babies.
With this fundamental contradiction in view, is there anybody alive who fails to see the confusion CBR creates?
While it is true that God sometimes brought confusion into the camp of those who opposed Him. It has never been the case, nor will it ever be the case, that God brings confusion among those who live their lives in His service. The presence of confusion within the Body of Christ is ALWAYS a sign that the Body has been invaded by a virus, an alien trespassing agent, an invader that must in time be cut off from the Body unless the whole Body be destroyed.

The sad part about much of Mr. Cunningham’s writings is the fact he uses the term anti abortion in many instances versus pro life, but seems to use this term as a pejorative to those he does not agree with. In his own definition of violence, Mr. Cunningham states it is “Physical assaults against the person or property of people who perform elective pregnancy terminations”. In looking at this terminology, Mr. Cunningham does not even acknowledge human life and the murderous implications it holds. This language, especially “elective pregnancy terminations’ is more Orwellian and soft petals the whole aspect of child killing. I guess as long as one doesn’t acknowledge that a human being is being brutally murdered, we can agree on this ghastly definition.
By sugarcoating child killing with neutral wording, Mr. Cunningham is actually promoting and propagating legalized child killing. It would seem that Mr. Horsley is correct in stating that Mr. Cunningham does not see an end to the “legalized’ piece of the child killing, for if it were so, the child killer could not have a set office, with set times to do set procedures (murders) and be handsomely paid, for immoral and illegal acts. Like crack houses or moon shiners, force would be used to stop the activities, and the perpetrators would be in jail immediately.
Words mean things. When someone of the stature of Mr. Cunningham uses his legalese to sugarcoat the activities of a heinous enterprise, he is only propagating this system, and may want to use whatever defense he may, but my request to Mr. Cunningham is at least don’t claim to do it in the name of the Living God, when minimizing the destruction of his most precious creation.

RETRACTION AND APOLOGY TO JILL STANEK
My two recent postings were directed at Jill Stanek in error. I had made comments on a section of Jill’s blog that were attributed to “Jivin J” and I believed Jill and Jivin J was the same individual. Since the postings are not Jill’s, I decided to delete both postings on both of my sites.
Furthermore, Jill did a story on Randall Terry that was fair and neutral, and I did not see this posting until after posting my comments, and did not have access to a computer to change them.
I give Jill Stanek my most heartfelt apology for the errors in the posting. I’m hoping other bloggers will follow suit when they mis post information, and make the needed clarifications.

THE HYPOCRITES IN THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
Daniel Michael
How can God bless any work that is not done for His kingdom and not without hypocrisy? My wife and I have been in the pro-life movement for over 17 years. We have 12 children, the youngest saved from abortion because my wife had the courage to obey God and stand for one more hour outside the local abortion mill.
We have been acquainted with and interviewed some of the trail-blazers of the pro-life movement of the past 17 years! Norma McCorvey, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, Randall Terry, Flip Benham, Carol Everett, Joe Scheidler, Alan Keyes, and many others.
What I have seen and heard over the past couple of years makes me want to vomit. Troy Newman and Jill Stanek calling Randall Terry a thief and a fraud is like Adolph Hitler calling George Tiller a madman.
I have known Troy Newman since July 2001 and Troy Newman’s motivation and desire is only for money and fame. He is a wolf. Every time something happens in the pro-life movement Troy Newman takes credit for it. He came to St. Louis in 2004 to help us with an event, and ever since then he has been taking credit for each success God has bestowed upon us! Another time we met him in Jefferson City, Missouri at the Capitol, and he said there were 40 people with him. He had one truth truck and three people. He is as phony as a three dollar bill. His organization had their 501c3 taken away. He has always expressed to me about his desire for the almighty dollar; for him to blatantly lie about Randall Terry wanting his mailing lists and the awarding of money by the U.S. Trademark Office is a very low blow.
We know people in Wichita that tell us the only time he has been at Tiller’s clinic over the last three years was for a photo op or media coverage. He has not only slandered Randall Terry and Flip Benham; he continues to deceive his donors and others about the work he does claiming, “If you don’t give us money, more babies will die.” Hogwash!
Now, let's talk about Jill Stanek. While Jill Stanek complains about how much Randall Terry rakes in, why doesn't she tell everyone how much she's making? When Jill Stanek spoke at the Vitae Foundation dinner in Illinois, we were told she was paid several thousand dollars. Not bad for one hour's work.
You won’t see Jill Stanek standing outside any abortion mills trying to save babies. I saw her at Notre Dame for the Obama Commencement speech, but she wasn’t holding a sign or ruffling anybody’s feathers. Jill Stanek is a pro-life gossip, who makes money off of other people’s work.
Why do pro lifers have to get paid to do God's work? Receiving money for expenses is fine, but $5,000-$10,000 for speaking and $200,000 a year in salaries? Hogwash! Go get a job like everyone else.
These money-changers criticizing Randall Terry are ridiculous! Before you get the speck out of your brother’s eye, you better get the log out of your eye! The reason why there is so much divisiveness and jealousy is probably the same reason why we have been attacked by other so called Christians: envy. They must be feeling threatened. Just like most pregnancy centers, narcissistic pro-lifers and Christians do not want to share a piece of their kingdom or pro-life pie with anyone.
I have never received a dime from Randall Terry and do respect the work of the people I criticized in this letter, but I am really sick of the “cash cows” and hypocrites in the pro-life movement. If abortion came to an end tomorrow, they’d be jumping off buildings. That’s why abortion will never end with such division and sin. The love for money is at the root of all evil.
Before you decide to throw stones, make sure you don’t live in glass houses.
About the Author: Daniel and Angela Michael, and their twelve children have been doing pro-life work for over twenty years. The Michaels have helped thousands of women with adoption, baby needs, and anything else they may need. They live in Highland, Illinois, but travel 60 miles daily to the Midwest's largest, late-term abortion mill in Granite City, IL The aboritonist there, Yogendra Shah, has done more abortions than anyone else in the entire U.S. in the past thirty five years.
As the director of the abortion mill stated in a recent article with the New York Times, "They (the Michael's) are relentless," in their work for the unborn. We don't do it for the money, as most pro-lifers do. We have the intention of seeing this 2 million dollar abortion mill closed. The Michaels and their children work at the family's restaurant in the evening time. Angela is a retired OB nurse.1:25 pm edt
