No one should kill you.

You should kill no one.

Love does not destroy.

Respect for Human Life.

We should not Kill.

We should Love one another.

We should Care for one another.

Abortion is not health care. It is a slaughter of 3200 unborn babies a DAY, 96,000 a MONTH, 1.2 Million a year, and more than 45 Million in 36 years in America.

This is a slaughter of the least of our people (poorest, weakest, most dependant, and least of our people).

Say NO to the free slaughter without a chance to respect and protect the lives of both the mother and the child.

Respect Life.

Protect Life.

Protect Love.

Love Life.

Just let the presidents do their job and let God do His. Give to God what's God's and give to Caesar what's Caesar's.

Those who need a sky-god in their lives just need to open their eyes

and go to a house of worship; there's no shortage of these places, plenty to choose from, which all of them by the way, enjoy tax-free status.

That tax saving should be fungible into programs to assist those needing help, whatever that might be.

To use my athiest tax dollars to support religious indoctrination is to bankrupt the meaning of the First Amendment. To say that the Faith Based Office is neutral is twisting the plain words of the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religiou. That means any and all religion, period.

There is nothing that can be added to or taken away form Mr. Becker's politically and legally correct POV. All Americans need to grasp his understanding of our Constitution, especially President Obama.

What is so hard to understand about the fact that every White House office is political in nature? I think the Office if Faith Based Initiatives should be closed to show our resolve to keep religion and government separated, so that they both might thrive without undue influence from the other, as the founders intended.
