KRISTAN HAWKINS, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE

George Offerman

There has already been significant fallout and discussions all over the blogosphere concerning the incident involving the unceremonious expulsion of Rabbi Yehuda Levin from the Students for Life convention last Sunday. Many of those who have been in this movement for longer than Kristan Hawkins has been alive are disheartened with the naïveté and stupidity shown by this move, are beyond the ability to express their feelings over this outrage. Instead of treating this man of God as the pro-life hero he is, he was discourteously and disrespectfully thrown out of an event in which he should have been given high honors.

Kristan Hawkins does not like Randall Terry or the brand of activism that Randall Terry embraces. Kristan Hawkins is also a very young individual, and would have been in diapers and watching Sesame Street when Randall Terry came on the scene and nearly single handedly created a movement that not only changed the nature of the legalized child killing debate, but caused such political waves, that the heinous and evil Roe decision was at great jeopardy of being overturned. Those involved and actively in the movement remember the passion and excitement in what seemed the likelihood of the end of legalized childhood killing as we know it. The FACE laws (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) was legislated and passed as a reaction to Operation Rescue’s efforts and signed into law by Bill Clinton. At that time, there were many ‘Giants’ in the pro life movement such as John Ryan, and Joan Andrews Bell, as well as the very influential Rabbi Yehuda Levin, and they were fairly unified in their thoughts and actions regarding the need to end legalized child killing.

It was through the blood, sweat and tears of these pioneers that have paved the way for the current crop of leaders/managers, and without their efforts, this movement would have died a long time ago. These men and women have proven their value to the pro-life movement through the crucible of fire and trials that the current leadership has not had to pay, and appears to have no knowledge of, nor any concern over. The current leadership through their ‘sophisticated’ thinking and ‘know it all’ attitudes, believes this war is ‘winnable’ through incremental change, sanitized language, ‘getting along’ with the enemy, removal of graphic images, ‘virtual protests’, ‘education’ and ‘changing hearts’. We see by the results how well this strategy is working (lousy) and the utter disrespect paid to the pioneers and trailblazers of this movement.

Those representing Randall Terry, in fact, did attempt to register as media at the conference, and after initial acceptance was escorted out of the hotel. Jack Ames of Defend Life, who did pay for a table, was informed he could not distribute literature pertaining to Randall Terry’s campaign. So we see, there was a deliberate icing out by Kristan Hawkins of any mention of Randall Terry’s candidacy, and this demonstrates an icing of Randall Terry, and made no difference whether invited or not. Also, as another point to be made, generally pro-life groups support and allow for other groups to get messages out and use these forums in the spirit of Christian Charity. After all, it used to be implied that WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE and as such, supported each other’s efforts. We were not there to disrupt, protest or create problems for the Students for Life people, but to get out the message of Randall Terry’s candidacy, and expand upon the success of Missy Smith’s campaign in showing the graphic nature of legalized child killing to the nation.

Rabbi Yehuda Levin and Andrew Beacham went in with cameras to interview students as they came out on break. The sponsors of the event, the Alliance Defense Fund’s media relations for both Students for Life America and the Alliance Defense Fund gave permission for Rabbi Yehuda Levin and Andrew Beacham to be there. (This whole interaction was caught on video, and will be released shortly). In fact, the Media Relations director would have like to have Rabbi Levin speak, but mentioned they were behind in their schedule, and thus, could not do this. This decision was then challenged by Kristan Hawkins and Students for life, and enforced by Bryan Kemper of stand true ministries. Here is one of the true ‘giants’ in the pro-life movement present at an event that could of and would of benefited greatly by the Rabbi’s experience, evicted from a pro-life conference by 2 hotel security guards at the bequest of Kristan Hawkins and Bryan Kemper.

Rabbi Levin then made this statement from stage yesterday concerning the nature of the pro-life movement in general, and the new leadership/management style embraced by the likes of Kristan Hawkins:

"My dear friends do you want to know why the pro-life movement is more static than more dynamic?



"Could it be because yesterday Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life and her sponsors, the Alliance Defense Fund, had 'no room at the inn' for myself and other rabbis representing 850 other rabbis of the Rabbinical Alliance of America? I was forced out by two hotel security people; never did the abortionists of the liberals do this to me. We're owed an apology. We've been fighting for life for 32 years."



Rabbi Levin hit the nail on the head by calling this behavior out, and questioning the integrity and abilities of the so called ‘pro life leaders’ who act more like managers of corporations than of a movement. It is horrible when those who put in the work are ostracized by those who have no clue on how to get the job done, but want to be seen as the ‘big shots’ and ‘movers and shakers’ of a now institutionalized ‘pro life movement’. Shame has reached an unimaginable level now, and these people have no clue and no plan on ending this holocaust. People like Kristan Hawkins will continue to sell herself as an innovator and leader, while condemning and disrespecting those whose shoulders she is unworthy to be standing on.

If I were in charge of the Alliance Defense Fund, I would be furious and embarrassed over this fiasco. I would be apologizing to Rabbi Levin, as well as promising to give him a keynote speaking slot, and may well relegate Kristan Hawkins role as spectator, at best. If Ms. Hawkins gets the gravity of the situation, she will be falling all over herself to rectify this situation and make the necessary personal changes merited for such a situation to assure it never happens again.

I attended Ms. Hawkins speech at the John Paul II Center in October 2009 to hear her speak. (Post is in the archives section, October 13 titled: The (un) inspiration of Kristan Hawkins). In that speech, Ms. Hawkins discussed Overturning Roe, but had no plan or vision on how this will be accomplished. Ms. Hawkins went into details about growing college campuses and groups, but did not advocate showing graphic pictures, challenging the language used, did not advocate any use of civil disobedience and seemed to promise a ‘clean’ fight by promoting such things as ‘virtual’ protests, prayer circles, ‘education and changing hearts’ as a means of change, but no tangible plans that actually makes child killing illegal. Her advice for those 40+ in age: volunteer at CPC’s and do maintenance work.

We, who have been in this movement for the majority of the time legalized child killing has been the 'law of the land', understand that in order to end this holocaust, there must be a tireless, fearless band of warriors on the ground engaged in battle, and using graphic images, harsh rhetoric, the truth of God and the backing of both Church and Laity to change the LAWS of this land. The way to do this is to engage the forces of death by making them LOOK AT THEIR HANDIWORK. This campaign is not about Randall Terry; it is about showing the dead babies to those who want to call this ‘choice’. Anyone with a ‘set’ and is willing to put up with the heat is welcome into this camp. We are looking for those with the guts to stand up and show the world what legalized child-killing looks like.

Given that it is apparent Ms. Hawkins does not have the experience and knowledge that the early pioneers of this movement has, I will personally put forth a challenge to Ms. Hawkins. I will fully support you, and encourage everyone I Know, as well as being able to commit the resources of our Insurrecta Nex team if you are willing to run for public office and show graphic commercials on television, for all of America to see. It will be in this, that you demonstrate the true leadership of those, such as Rabbi Levin and Randall Terry and earn for yourself, the respect and privilege of being a national leader. This is the way legalized child killing will end, by showing the forces of hell and death the fruits of their labor in all of its ugliness and evil. Running and hiding from this reality only plays into the culture of death’s hands, and is the true mark of mediocrity.

KRISTAN HAWKINS, YOU ARE CLUELESS

George Offerman

Several of us went to the Student for Life gathering today, simply to pass out information pertaining to Randall Terry's upcoming presidential campaign. To say we were treated as criminals by Ms. Hawkins and her pretend police minions would be an understatement. (My son and I were personally thrown out by Ms. Hawkins herself). However, her treatment of Rabbi Yehuda Levin was beyond despicable.

It seems Ms. Hawkins, in her relatively early success in this movement, has seemed to have paid no attention to the true leaders of this movement and it shows by her poor indiscretions, in that she is clueless concerning those who have paved the way and paid significant prices that she currently enjoys for herself. I will be writing more on this in the very near future, but a letter by Missy Smith catches the essence of Ms. Hawkins naivete and cluelessness. Ms. Hawkins, there is so much you do not know about the blood sweat and tears put into this movement prior to your birth, as many you are against have been in this longer than you have been alive and it would bode well for you to get off your high horse for a minute and do some investigations into these matters.





Dear Kristan-

I want you to know up front, that I am going to send this e-mail to as many pro lifers as possible
since we say we are doing "God's work" and yet today something happened which made me very ashamed
of you and of the the "Pro-Life Movement". I know God has been watching this character assassination of
Randall Terry unfold for quite sometime and He is not pleased. It has been driven by Troy Newman, Jeff White and
even a man supposedly of God, Pat Mahoney.

First and foremost a real man of God was escorted out of the Bethesda Marriott Hotel by two security guards,
for no apparrent reason other than your personal dislike for Randall Terry, and by your orders. Shame on you.

Rabbi Yehuda Levin was that man and is the spokesperson for the Rabbinical Alliance of America representing
1,000 Rabbi's. He is a father of 9 children and numerous grandchildren. He has run for the second highest political office in America for mayor against Ed Koch in New York City. Ed Koch devotes two pages in his book "Politics" to Rabbi Levin.

Rabbi Levin had a very close relationship with John Cardinal O'Connor before he died. Rabbi has spoken with Raymond Cardinal Burke, the head of the highest court in the Catholic Church, on numerous occassions.

It will be 32 years tomorrow, that Rabbi Levin will have spoken for the March for Life. By far he is the most powerful speaker for life and morality to step on to that stage every year !

I tell you this so you won't be confused and think Rabbi was some homeless person wondering in off the street. This man
is highly regarded nationally and internationally and should be treated with the utmost respect all human beings deserve.

Rabbi Levin came to Washington at the request of Randall Terry to stand in front of the Holocaust Museum, which memorializes the Rabbi's Jewish ancestories who were murdered in the European Jewry Holocaust, and linking it to the American Holocaust that is now going on by the murdering of the most innocent, defenseless, the unborn and to introduce Randall Terry who is running for President against Obama as a Democrate to bring attention to his evil support and promotion of the murder of millions of innocent babies.

We in the pro life movement know Obama's treachory and promotion of child killing world wide and yet there are
many who don't. This is an enormous undertaking by Randall and his family. There is
only one reason for this effort and that is to show that abortion is murder thru television ads showing pictures of
aborted babies which will pave the way to end the legalized child killing that is running rampant now.

Father Frank Pavone has said "America will never reject abortion until Amerca sees abortion".

As you know I ran here in Washington as a federal candidate for Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives
for the exact same purpose. Campaign laws allow a candidate running for federal office to run ads unedited
and television stations must run them. As a matter of fact, I spoke personally to you when I was running and you
thought it was a great idea and even thought of it for yourself.

I am still tired and not totally recovered from my federal run here in Washington DC. It took enormous time
and effort. My run was terribly successful because of one thing, Randall Terry. He was my campaign manager
and with me every step of the way. Because of his guidance millions saw that abortion is murder and untold
children were saved.

We ran 255 ads that ran from West Virginia to Baltimore Maryland. I got 4 major interviews with stations
including Wolf Blitzer "The Situation Room". Three thousand phone calls and thousands more e-mails,
many of which were death threats. We blew the doors of the killing centers and showed what abortion
looks like.

Now we have an even greater opporuntity to reach even more people and educate them to the horror of legalized
child killing.

You have chosen to interject yourself with many others in the pro life movement into a situation you know nothing about,
believing the lies that have been spread about Randall Terry who is a good and honorable man. I was told these lies myself
and personally have found them not to be true. Remember no matter how thin a pancake, it has two sides. You must look
for the hidden agenda of these people spreading the gossip.

I also understand, sometime ago you personally went so far as to get Randall cancelled at a number of schools he
was scheduled to speak speak at. What kind of evil is that ? I was also told that you made calls and were able to
get buses scheduled to come to Notre Dame cancelled. Again this is only what I was told, so you can correct me if I am
wrong. If I am right then shame on you. If I am wrong I apoligize.

These afore mentioned men have now taken it upon themselves not only to have used the spoken word to assassinate
a man's character but now they have taken it upon themselves to put a website up filled with scurrilous lies. I am not only saddened but sickened by their lack of Christian charity of which it appears they have none.

Does this not give you pause to think. Are you comfortable with these actions ? What justification could there be to
publicly attack another in this way ?

And what are you doing about it ? You are supporting these sinful acts by throwing a small band of people handing out
cards with contact information on it, from your hugely successful Students For Life event on the heels of receiving
thousands of dollars from the Rudy Foundation. Don't be blinded by your success. You could easily trip and fall from grace.

What has become of integrity ? What has become of civility ? I ask you, to what end do you and all that support
this type of evil think there is ?

Satan is cunning and you are riding high right now. You too do and have made mistakes. Shall I gather around me
people whose sole purpose is to bring you down ? You too can be fooled into believing you are doing right when in fact
you are doing a grave injustice.

As I told you sometime ago when you interjected yourself into this situaton between Troy and Randall, you didn't belong
taking a position. You do not know all the facts. You don't have a dog in this fight.

As far as today is concerned, It would have been nothing for you to allow our small team to distribute our contact information to the young people at your conference. That one act made you appear small and petty.

The most offensive act was having Rabbi Yeuda Levin removed from the Marriott by security guards. I am so ashamed of you.

In all reality you are where you are because of the grace of God. Nothing else. Humility is a virtue that eludes most
of us. Great saints have studied it all their lives and had great challenges trying to attain it. You simply are the conduit
for God's good works and today you thworted that. You had an opportunity to allow a few people to hand out a few
envelopes with contact information on it leading some to support a very honorable endeavor for God's precious children.

I am sickened and hope you Wakeup to what you have done and what you are participating in.

I will pray for your eternal soul.

Covered in the shed blood of Jesus Christ,
I am Christ's humble servant,
Missy
