Who is The First Love in The Black Churches

Please click on read the following link first.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/14/trayvon-martin-hoodie-sunday_n_3594302.html

I am ashamed of the Black Churches. According to the Bible THE CHURCH recieved the charge of going into the hedges, highways, byways, and all the world, and tell the unsaved the gosple of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  They have also been given the charge of preaching the gosple in season and out of season. For the word of God is good for instruction and reproof for the perfection of the saints. This charge was given to ALL CHURCHES, period!

What does this mean? It means the church's mission on the earth is to first preach the gosple of salvation to the unsaved.  As my late pastor used to say: "Catch the fish." The second mission of the church is teaching and preaching to the saints.  As my late pastor would say, again: "Clean the fish." Why? Because Christians must be TAUGHT how to be Christians. No one is automatically a Christian. One must be BORN AGAIN and like all babies, the new born Christian must be taught how to walk, talk, eat, etc.

The old nature that man was born into the world with is deeply flawed. The Bible says, man is born in sin and shaped in iniquity. As long as Christians are on this earth that old sin nature WILL war against the Spirit of God.

That's called Spiritual Warfare and just like earthly soliders are taught the tactics of the enemy and how to defeat him, Christians must be taught about the Wicked One and how to defeat him, his supernatural host, and earthly minions.

Why do I say all of this? If this is the only reason the church is on the earth, then why in heavens name is the Black church agreeing and advocating the Trayonists? By the term "Trayvonists" I mean those who claim they want justice for Trayvon Martin, didn't agree with George Zimmerman's aquital for shooting the aforementioned that fated night. And unfortunately made it a race issue. A white man needlessly shooting and killing another male Black teen.

They never or refused to take onto consideration the fact that Trayvon punched Zimmerman in the nose, knocking him to the ground, then pounced on, straddled him and commenced to pound George's head against the pavement. George Zimmerman thought his life was in danger amd shot Trayvon in self defense. Period. I'm pretty sure that if a white teen was pounding George's head on the pavement in the same manner Zimmerman would've shot him just the same.

Yet the Black community and the Black churches called Zimmerman's actions racist. If anything the churches should've have the barrier against the tide of insanity instead of throwing gasoline on and fanning the flames. They should've thrown water on the flames with the Word of God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit would've snuffed it out.

How did the Black church fan the flames? By pastors allowing the likes of Al Sharpton and or Jessie Jackson to speak from their pulpits to foment and stir the embers of hate. Or, speaking it from the pulpits themselves.

The pulpit is an extremely sacred area, given to the pastor to preach and teach the word of God. Its not to be used lightly or handed over to just anyone blab foolishness and garbage to God's flock. Yes, the congregation are God's sheep and He called the pastor to be the Under Shepard for His sheep. Why? Because He needs an Earthly vessel to shepard His flock on this mortal plane. This is a high, lofty, and tremendous responsibility, and charge and, I repeat, not to be taken lightly. Why? Because every single pastor WILL give an account to God for every single sheep (member of the congregation) God has given him to shepherd or pastor. 

That's why I was shocked and disappointed to see that Black pastors nation wide had delared July 21, 2013 to be "Hoodie Sunday". They had taken to their pulpits wearing "Hoodies" which identified with Trayvon and spoke nothing to do with that great God given commision and charge.

Is it any wonder Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple? Because they had turned his house into a den of thieves! That was not God's purpose for the temple being on Earth. The presence of the money changers were violating God's sacred territory, making it impure and unfit for His use. After all, look what the heathens were doing in their so-called temples back on that time.... No wonder Jesus made a wip and flogged them outta there!

I say the same needs to be done with the Black Churches. Y'all want to foment, speak unrest, civil disobedience and communist politics? It should NOT be done in the churches nor from the pulpit! You have commumity centers, schools, and rental halls to do this in. Let the interior of the church and the pulpit remain sacred so that people who are in desparate need of refuge will have a sacred and clean place to flee, and a safe haven from the storms of life.

I will never be a judge of the men and women God has elected to pastor His Black flocks. But, He does warn, "Woe unto him who scatters my flock". In my biblical opinion, the Black churches seriously need to return to their First Love, Jesus Christ.

In His Service....

Justice For Trayvon - Divided We Fall

I've been silent too long on this issue. I'm speaking up now because as a Black American Woman, I am thoroughly sick to death of how this so-called case was handled.

First of all, this so-called case should've never went to court. The police chief was correct in not arresting George Zimmerman. He was in fear for his life and he used his weapon to kill his attacker, Trayvon Martin. Heedless of the fact that Trayvon was labled a child he possessed enough strength to punch Zimmerman in the nose, knocking him to tbe ground, straddle and pound the back of his head on the pavement until he nearly passed out. What man our woman in their right mind would not fight back if they had the means to do do?

As mentioned previously this case never should've made it to court. At the most it should've went to grand jury for indictments.  That's where 30 jurors decide whether or not a case possesses enough evidence to go to trial. In New York City the Zimmerman case would've been tossed out in... dare I say it?  A New York Minute!

However, our President got involved by saying "If I had a son, he'd be like Trayvon Martin." Oh really, Mister President? You'd want a hoodie wearing, dope smoking, gun toting, thug for a son?  There are plenty of them running the city streets of Chicago, pick one and adopt one. I dear you.

One of my personal mottos is: "If you love it so much, take it home with you." But, I guess there are already enough thugs in the White House....

I digress......

From here on it was lies, lies, and more lies. The slight of hand, shady deals, and the political fan dancing abounded.  The media (the house organ of Sith Lord Obama) depicted George Zimmerman as racist white hunter with a gun with nothing better to than to track down and kill Trayvon Martin, the poor little innocent lambie pie boo.

Here's where I must confess that I am personally ashamed of my race. Why? Because as a whole they believed the blatant lies the media shoveled out. Adding insult to injury here came the professional race baiters and shake down artists Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, The NAACP, and the New Black Panther Party.

Anyone who has half a brain, intelligence, and not part of the hive mind mentality, knows these individuals and groups have sorted pasts and blood on their hands. So why have they become so credible now?

I tell you why, because my people want to believe the lies! They want to be prejudiced, angry and ultimately, destroy, riot, loot and sack like the radical Jihadists over in the Middle East. Don't belive me? Look at some of the photos from some of the so-called peaceful "Justice For Trayvon" demonstrations. The ones where the participants were burning the American flag, and some have their faces covered with scarfs and hoods like...... Mursi supporters, and the Taliban.

Instead of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton calling for the Department of Justice to investgate an innocent and aquitted man, how about addressing the Black youth? How about teaching the young men and women NOT to be thugs? Teach them to respect themselves, each other, their parents and authority. Teach them how to dress properly so the cops won't have "probable cause" to stop, question and frisk them. Teach them to carry identification and answer the police politely, follow their instructions and not give the cops lip, attitude, fight them, or flee.

Alas, this would be take too much work. Its much easier to stir up hate and foment. There is no money and fame in peace.

Allow me to interject a personal experience. Many years ago I went out to Indiana to visit a penpal. While there my friend along with some other young ladies decided to go to this one ladies house to hang out. However when we arrived, her father met us at the door and told me. "I don't allow niggers in my house." Yes, he said the "N" word because there was no such thing as political correctness back then.

Previously I'd never traveled outside of New York City and therefore had never been subjected to such blatant prejudice.  What did I do? I turned around and left. After all, that was his home and he thus had the right to allow who he wanted to into it. My friends and I simply found somewhere else to hang out. 

When he uttered those words I had a choice, to curse him out and or attempt to bully my way into his home, threaten to kill him and his family or burn his house down. However my parents taught me to respect others and their boundary lines. That's why I turned away and left. It's all about the upbringing and who you have as role models.

Unfortunately within the Black community there is a deeply rooted culture of thuggishness. Young men and women look up to rappers, gangbangers, thugs, dope dealers and criminals. When a kid minds his or her business, goes to school, graduates and moves out of the "hood" they are considered a "cornball niggger" aka a traitor to the race.

If a guy doesn't have at least ten baby mamas, and not slapping half of the bitches up, hasn't been to jail at least three times, he's not a man. If a woman doesn't have at least three baby daddies for her five kids and is a Welfare Queen on EBT, WIC, Section 8, etc. Well, she is just weird. These people are often called Oreos. Though Black outside they are White or have White ways inside.

Sadly nearly 95% of those in jail are not only Black but recidivists. So is it any wonder other races and law enforcement are suspicous of our children? Parents are not raising responsible American citizens,  they are raising leeches and monsters! I say we (the Black race) still have a heck of a lot of work to do, and it is NOT perpetuating the racial divide.

I rest my case......

God's Gift of Intuition: Expert Cites 7 Ways Our 'Sixth Sense' Can Help Detect and Deter Danger

Christian safety expert available for interviews and byline editorials on practical ways to intuitively manage your 'Threatscape'
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 27, 2013 /Christian Newswire/

-- With modern society rife with personal security issues seemingly at every turn, it's imperative to gain a strategic advantage at every opportunity. This according to Christian safety and security authority Phrantceena Halres, founder and CEO of Total Protection Services, who is available for interviews and editorials on all security and safety topics, including the following that is available for reprint (with art):

God's Gift of Intuition:
7 Ways to Develop Your 'Sixth Sense' to Detect and Deter Danger

By Phrantceena Halres

"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." -- I Thessalonians 5:6

God has blessed all of us with innate intuition, with the ability to sense when something is amiss and possibly dangerous. In Mark, 5:27-5:32, is recounted a story of Jesus when he was walking in a crowd. Although he was in a throng of people, something felt amiss when a single person brushed up against his clothes. He asked his disciples "who touched my clothes?" and they replied "You see the crowd pressing around you and yet you ask 'who touched me?'" But Jesus followed his instincts to find and confront the woman. As Christians, we ought not to be afraid of using our intuition in the same manner that Jesus did. It's not just a hunch, it's a real gift that God has given us his children and to not use it is to squander it.

An estimated 1 out of 5 Americans are victims of crime, which occur in our homes, communities, school campuses and churches. Proverbs 21:31 reads "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD." That is taken to mean that there are two layers of personal security: Preparedness and safety. It is your responsibility to be prepared but true safety can come only from God. The Lord has given us a "sixth sense," the ability to instinctively perceive possible threats or danger. It's been said that humans are the only living beings who sense danger and walk right into it, such as politely entering an elevator with a person who triggered your fear instinct for some reason. While everyone has a sixth sense, it's like an underdeveloped muscle that needs to be exercised from time to time in order to maximize its ability to keep you safe. One of the best ways to cultivate this sixth sense ability is to become safety and security minded in a more concerted, proactive way. This includes a constant analysis of your "threatscape" -- the sum of every potential threat in your various environments. This means assessing anything and everything in your day to day experiences that could pose a threat. Is the line of bushes at the back of the parking lot a potential hiding place for criminals? Is the overly-kind gentleman offering to carry your groceries overly persistent and too close within your personal space? Perceiving your threatscape involves relying on your instincts for protection. Much like Spiderman's famed "spidey sense," it is an innate perception of prospective danger that is a very real and effective way to keep yourself safe in any circumstance.

Now is the time to become joyful! Once developed, your sixth sense will be a new-found freedom, allowing you to never show fear in a dangerous situation. Start cultivating your sixth sense today by following these tips:

Utilize mobile safety technology: Program an in-case-of-emergency (ICE) number into your phone and consider using a tracking app with your closest friend or loved one. A number of apps, such as Real Time GPS Tracker and GPS Tracking Pro allow your loved ones to always know where you are. Of course, you can enable and disable the tracking capability based on your preferences, but it's handy in certain situations like when you are traveling about with a new friend no one else knows. Go one step further and take a photograph of the license plate with your smart phone and text it to a friend, family member, or even yourself so there's a traceable record.

Don't become distracted or "zone out": First Thessalonians 5:6 says "Let us not sleep, as do others but let us watch and be sober." God has instructed his children to always be watchful and mindful of danger, to be "sober" both in the modern sense of the word (not under the influence of drugs and alcohol) and also in the more ancient sense of being "alert." Today, modern technology can distract and "intoxicate" us far more than alcohol. Someone walking down the street after a few glasses of wine still has their senses about them but someone walking around texting or listening to their iPod on full volume is totally off in their own world. Such behaviors undermine our ability to stay alert and greatly increase your risk.

Make basic home security improvements: Purchasing even a few basic, inexpensive security devices for your home or apartment can go a long way. A door stop (under $6) will prevent your door from being opened from the outside, and window and screen-door locks (under $1 each) will stop your panels from being jimmied or disassembled. If you are renting and/or don't wish to invest in a house alarm, consider buying a personal, portable alarm for under $25 that will go off when you press it, potentially frightening an intruder. More expensive models with motions sensors are also available.

Project confidence and social connections when interacting with strangers: Criminals primarily prey on people that are meek, have limited social connections, and generally won't make a fuss. By presenting yourself as someone who won't be an easy target, you'll ensure a criminal passes you over in search of an easier victim. Looking strangers directly in the eye, telling people that you have a lot of friends or family in the area, and even hanging photos with friends and family in the house are all things that will decrease your chances of being a victim.

Be unpredictable: In the Book of Judges there is the story of Gideon, who led the Israelites against the Midianites: Gideon fielded a large army of 10,000 men near the Midianite encampment. God spoke to Gideon and had him ask all of his men to drink from the river. Predictably, 9,700 men all got on their knees and stuck their head in the river to lap the water. Only 300 men did something different and used their hands as a ladle to drink the water. Most of the men were totally oblivious of their surroundings as they were drinking and God asked Gideon to send them home. God then instructed Gideon to keep the more discerning and unpredictable men to be used in the battle. Just like the Midianites, modern criminals often "case" or scope out their enemies prior to striking. Routines such as leaving and returning home at the exact same time each day, jogging at the same time, or regularly leaving your back window open while you cook dinner all amount to essentially "having your head in the water." Consider mixing things up so that your routines can't be predicted and used against you.

Don't assume things are as they seem: Criminals often rely on deception to catch you unaware. Posing as a deliveryman, contractor, or an unassuming person needing directions or help are all common techniques to get into your personal space. This deception is most likely to take place next to some kind of cover, which commonly includes bushes, trees or vegetation, a car (either the victim's or the perpetrator's) or a house or other unoccupied dwelling. If you are approached under any kind of pretext next to cover, your sixth sense should be activated immediately. Especially if you are in a dark area or if there aren't many people around. If you never assume things are as they seem, then it will cause your enemies to rise and stand out like a sore thumb. Fear will no longer have crippling power over your mind.

Never tell strangers or acquaintances more than they need to know: Telling the neighbors you are on vacation, your classmates the time you come home after work every day, or letting someone you've been dating only a short while know where you live are all common precursors to being a victim of crime. Your policy should always be trust but verify. Only tell people what they need to know. No more, no less.

Ecclesiastes says 9:10 says "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead there is neither working or planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
Can we teach people to make the transition from potential victim to a criminal's worst nightmare? The answer is a resounding "yes." We must. National security begins with you! Each of us play a role in making our community and country safer from threats and criminal activity. For the conceivable future, America will remain a country plagued by crime. Once put into practice, these 7 simple tips will greatly improve your personal safety and help hone your instincts. Soon, your sixth sense will automatically engage in the presence of danger, and identifying and responding to threats will become second nature to you. Thank you, and God Bless.

The Days of Imfamy

Never in all my life have I ever thought it would come to this. We the citizens of the United States being blatantly spied upon by our own government!

It's bad enough that our government which has been occupied and taken over by The Cigarette Smoking Man aka President Obama, and his cronies. Now he is boldly and blatantly using the Three Letter Agencies (IRS, DOJ, EPA, DHS, etc) to spy on, harass

Mind you I'm not talking terrorists here. I'm talking about hard working red blooded Americans who love God, their country, the US Constitution, and yes, their guns.

The original Homeland Security Bill or Act which was signed by then President Bush (in 2002) and was intended to protect Americans from and against further 9/11 type terrorist attacks, and those who perpetrated them. In other words, to monitor the internet traffic of suspected American based terrorist cells or lone wolves who communicated with their home bases in Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan, etc.

This also included Imams who took their messages of hate, destruction and terror to Facebook, You Tube, etc. For example, Osama Bin Ladden was infamous for releasing "cave videos" untill he was finally dispatched to his final resting place by one of our Seal Teams.

The Homeland Secuirty Act was also supposed to monitor and stop and confiscate transfers of monatary donations sent from the United States by groups/individuals sympathetic to terrorists overseas. 

In short The Homeland Secuity Bill or Acts was enacted  to:

A.  To prevent terrorist attacks within the United States
B.  To reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism,  and
C.  To minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery, from terrorist attacks that occur within the United States.

Please indulge me in asking a couple of crazy questions right here.  TELL ME HOW THIS APPLIES TO SNOOPING ON OR DATA MINING EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CITIZEN'S CELLPHONE, EMAIL, AND PARTICIPATION ON INTERNET OR WEBSITES? WHY ARE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED LIKE THIS?

It's as plain as the nose on my face that The Cigarette Smoking Man has taken this act, distorted it, and is using it AGAINST American citizens instead of PROTECTING them. And a particular type of American citizen. The ones who oppose and disagree with Obama..........

For example, say the Homeland Secuity Bill is a 9mm hand gun. And instead of it being used to protect the owner from criminal acts, the perpetrator has wrested it from the owner's hands and put to the owner's head. Not a pretty picture but you catch my drift.

So in this communist, marxist regime that the Cigarette Smoking Man and his cronies has instituted, the patriotic,  God fearing citizens have become the enemies of the state, and the terrorists have become the protected species.

Is it any wonder the Boston Marathon Bombers, got as far as they did with out prior detection? These are indeed days of imfamy. May the Most High God in heaven have mercy on us all.

A Complete Turnaround

With all of the gloom and doom floating around, we all need to focus on The Most High and Holy God of the Universe. Enjoy.

May 31, 2013

“We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.”—Joshua 2:10–11

The Torah portion for this week is Shelach, from Numbers 13:1–15:41, and the Haftorah from Joshua 2:1–24.

Mosab Hassan Yousef is the oldest son of Sheik Hassan Yousef, founding leader of Hamas, a terrorist organization responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel. Mosab was raised in Hamas, and by the time he was a young adult, he was an integral part of the organization. Yet, today, Mosab is a devout Christian living in America. After asking some serious questions and studying the Bible, Mosab did a complete turnaround and became a spy for Israel. He changed his faith, his values, and his entire life.

Stories like Mosab’s grip us because it is unusual for a person to change so drastically. It’s difficult for people to change even when the truth is staring them in the eye. Yet as difficult as it may be to change our ways, history has proven time and again that the consequences of not changing are far worse.

In this week’s Torah reading we read about the spies that Moses sent to scout out the land of Israel. In the Haftorah, we read about the spies that Joshua sent to do the same. When these two men enter Jericho, we are told that they stay in the house of a prostitute name Rahab. We aren’t told much about Rahab other than her profession and her role of saving the spies by hiding them from the King of Jericho. However, Jewish tradition teaches that Rahab ultimately married Joshua. The lowly prostitute became the wife of the leader of Israel.

What caused Rahab, or anyone for that matter, to make such a drastic change?

Rahab herself shared the answer. She told the spies: “We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea …” Rahab explained that the people of Canaan had heard all about the children of Israel and the great things that God did for them. She explained that everyone was afraid of Israel because they knew that “the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.” This is why Rahab wanted to join the children of Israel. She recognized that their God was the only true God.

So now the question really is: Why didn’t everyone else do the same?

The answer is because knowing something and doing something are two very different things. Rahab acted on her beliefs, even though it meant risking her life while saving the spies. But because she took action, she saved herself, her family, and generations to come.

It is imperative that we translate our beliefs into actions. Doing so can be challenging, but can ultimately make the difference between life and death – both in this world and in the next.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Obamacare is NOT Healthcare - Part 2


I've already writen a scathing post on this subject but I feel the need to reiterate this fact that our government is not telling you.

Obamacare is not about healthcare even though it has been given the ambiguous title of "The Affordable Care Act". That is merely a title to fool the low information crowd, the ignorant, and what I call "The Free Store"  Customers.  People who love getting free stuff from the government. Well, this is one thing nobody is gonna want....

Let's get back to the title. The mass majority believe they are going to get free health care, in reality they are not.

The origins of Obamacare came from millionaires like George Soros and Bill Gates. Both men are big proponents of population control. Why?  Because like Margaret Sanger, they believe the population needs to culled of the human weeds. The handicapped,  the chronically ill, the mentally retarded, the insane, and minorties.

Unfortunately Margaret Sanger's dream became Planned Parenthood.  We all know this hideous organization has absolutely nothing to with parenthood, but everything to do with slaughtering the unborn by the millions.

Likewise Obamacare will do the same to those who already living. Those who abortion didn't catch in it's muderous grip. How will Obamacare do this?  By denying care to those who are chronically ill, elderly, handicapped, mentally ill, etc. All under the guise of care for the aforementioned is too expensive for the government to pay for.

For instance, if one has breast or testicular cancer, the Obamacare Death Panels, (Yes, there will be those) will decide that it is too expensive for the unfortunate cancer patient to have life saving surgery or continue receiving chemotherapy. In other words, go home and die.

The same will go for parents of children who have handicaps or illnesses which require thousands of dollars of medical care to stay alive. The Death Panels will shake their heads and say no, too expensive. Go home and die.

How will this affect my Black brothers and sisters? I was recently told by a friend that she has friends and family who are deliberately morbidly obese so they can stay on the government dole. Why is that, you ask. Apparently obesity is considered a disability,  that's right, you heard me! A disability!

So they continue to jam fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and all manner of fattening, artery clogging foods into their pieholes just to get a government check. Meanwhile they rack up on the consequences. High blood pressure, diabetes,  stroke, heart attacks, asthma, gout,  kidney failure, arthritis, etc. In addition to being obese, they are on tons of medication (which are paid for by the government) to keep them alive. According to the bleak picture I painted previously, what do you think Obamacare is going to do to them? 

If you've guessed that Obamacare's Death Panels will tell them they are too expensive to maintain, they will be denied care and told to go home and die.

If an elderly man or woman breaks a hip, no longer will they be able to get hip surgery to replace the hip. Too expensive, go home and die.

Nursing homes will become a thing of the past. Why? Because it's too expensive to keep those pesky old people alive.

Are you getting the picture yet? I told you, Obamacare has nothing to do with healthcare. It's about culling the population. Like Margaret Sanger (who was a Klu Klux Clanist by the the way...) said, paraphrased "We need to eliminate the weeds and undesirables in society...."

So who will get healthcare, you ask. You need only look to the world's communist and tyranical regimes. Only the elite get the best of care, while the great unwashed lay dying in the gutters. Do you really want this for our beloved nation?

In conclusion, I say. May God have mercy on America if we don't take serious steps to defund and abolish this genocidal monster as soon as possible.

IRS Clearly Trageted Christian Groups

As per the following press release, it is all too clear to me that our current administration is persecuting Christian groups.

IRS Subjects Dr. James Dobson and Family Talk Action to Viewpoint Discrimination

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 15, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ --

Family Talk Action Corporation is a Christian ministry that was formed for the purpose of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ; of providing Christ-oriented advice and education to parents and children; and of speaking to cultural issues that affect the family. Well known psychologist, author, and family advocate, James C. Dobson, Ph.D., serves as Family Talk Action's President and CEO.

On September 2, 2011, Family Talk Action filed a Form 1024 with the Internal Revenue Service requesting § 501(c)(4) status. The attorney completing this form had submitted scores of similar applications over his 26 year career with none being rejected.

In January and February 2013, Family Talk Action's counsel called the IRS reviewing agent, R. Medley (ID no. 52402), to inquire regarding when there would be a determination of the application. Her voice mail box was full on each of these calls so no message could be left. On March 6, he called Ms. Medley again and got routed to her voice mail again. This time, he was able to leave a voice mail message and requested a return call.

Ms. Medley did not call back until March 19. Family Talk Action's attorney asked her when the IRS would issue its determination letter. Ms. Medley responded saying, I don't think your Form 1024 (application for exemption) will be granted because Family Talk Action is "not educational" because it does not present all views. She continued, saying that Family Talk Action sounded like a "partisan right-wing group" because, according to Ms. Medley, it only presents conservative viewpoints. She then added, "you're political" because you "criticized President Obama, who was a candidate."

Family Talk Action had submitted a couple of sample radio programs upon request from the IRS. None were aired during an election year. It was the opinion of Family Talk Action's legal counsel that these samples were not only § 501(c)(4) qualified but § 501(c)(3) qualified. Family Talk Action's legal counsel had never heard an IRS agent express biased statements like those he heard during the March 19 call. He also felt that the this agent did not understand the difference between § 501(c)(3) and § 501(c)(4) entities.

Family Talk Action's President, Dr. James Dobson explained his release of this information stating: "The American people deserve better treatment from its government than this. Christian ministries and others supporting the family must not be silenced or intimidated by the IRS or other branches of the government."
