Judge clarifies purpose at first federal Proposition 8 hearing
By Maura Dolan, Los Angeles Times

In the first hearing on a federal challenge to Proposition 8, a judge reminded lawyers Thursday that the constitutionality of the anti-gay marriage measure would be determined by higher courts and that his job was to give them as many facts and findings as possible. U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, appearing before a packed courtroom, also declined to suspend Proposition 8 before trial, noting that such a move would create too much uncertainty for the state and same-sex couples who would marry. "This case is only touching down in this court," Walker said. "It will have life after this court, and what happens here in many ways is only a prelude to what is going to happen later. "Our job at this point," he said, "is to make a record." Walker's statements Thursday mirrored a tentative ruling he handed down Tuesday. That ruling heartened gay rights activists, who said Walker made it clear he appreciated the gravity of the challenge and their arguments. Neither side objected to Walker's refusal to issue a preliminary injunction.

Federal judge moves to fast track legal fight over Proposition 8
Judge sided with gay marriage advocates -- agreeing that Proposition 8 violates the federal equal protection rights of gays and lesbians
By Howard Mintz, San Jose Mercury News

A federal judge Thursday refused to temporarily block Proposition 8, moving forward with his plan to put the latest legal challenge over California's gay marriage ban on a fast track to a trial that is likely to produce the most thorough review to date of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. With all sides in the legal battle poised for a fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker agreed with Attorney General Jerry Brown and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, concluding that it would cause too much confusion across California if he chose to suspend Proposition 8 while the challenge to the voter-approved gay marriage ban unfolds in the courts. Brown has nevertheless sided with gay marriage advocates on the overall lawsuit, agreeing that Proposition 8 violates the federal equal protection rights of gay and lesbian couples by denying them the ability to marry.

Demonstrating Christ's Love Through Social Media

IRVINE, Calif., June 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- Abortion Recovery InterNational (ARIN) launches "Blue Envelope Outreach -- Messages of Hope," a 2009 Summer Campaign to reach those who may be suffering throughout the United States.

Blue Envelope Outreach invites Christians, Churches and other faith-based groups to share inspirational and compassionate messages of hope and love to those personally impacted by abortion. Staggering rates of 1 in 3 American women will have had an abortion by the time she reaches 45.

"Often decades go by of brokenness and heartache until women, men or family members finally realize their emotionally issues stem from a decision they were involved with . . . a decision to abort a baby. Abortion is impacting not only those directly involved, but our families as well," says Stacy Massey, President and Founder of ARIN. READ MORE

City on The Hill - training future public leadership

	City on the Hill is Next Month!

CRI is already receiving applications for City on the Hill Youth Leadership Conference, which will take place next month, July 21-26th. For 22 years, this outstanding program has helped train young leaders in the legislative and political processes. During the week-long conference students aged 14-18 from all across California become mock legislators. They carry real legislation being debated that year in the actual legislature. While busy passing their bills through committee hearings, and debating legislation in floor sessions, they must also contend with the political aspect of governing as they run for party leadership. No where else can young Christians obtain such hands-on training for the political and governing arenas. The apex of the conference is the final day, when students debate their bills on the actual floor of the California legislature. In addition to the legislative training, students receive world view training, hearing edifying speakers from many different walks of life. Students are also encouraged in their walk with the Lord as they attend daily worship services and Bible studies. Every year both students and staff leave City with a passion to return home and change the world for Christ. Perhaps the greatest testament to City's impact is the students who return year after year to continue honing their skills. So empowering is City, many families send all of their children. Even if your child isn't interested in politics, they will enjoy City. While forging lifelong friendships with other young people who share their values, each student will gain a greater understanding of their government. This knowledge will equip them to be informed and engaged voters, holding their elected officials accountable. To learn more about the conference and download an application, visit www.CityontheHill.org. Cost of the conference is $400 and scholarships are available. Tune in to the Capitol Update with Karen England radio show today to hear students talk about their City on the Hill experience. Live on 710AM KFIA at 4:00pm Listen online at www.KFIA.com

CASH STRAPPED CALIFORNIA !

In case you missed it: California has received $2.1 billion less this year in tax revenues than projected in the February budget, according to State Controller John Chiang.

It's another bad sign as state leaders prepare for the May revised budget later this month.

The California Citizens Compensation Commission will meet in Burbank on May 20, the day after the special election, to take a second run at cutting salaries for elected state officials by 10 percent.

An SEIU official has taken aim at Assemblyman Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks, for his efforts to delay passing the union's new contract with the Schwarzenegger administration.

Coming in tomorrow's Bee: With the Santa Barbara fire raising the specter of a long and expensive fire season, cash-strapped California is likely to need to depend more than ever on federal assistance to protect lives and homes. Peter Hecht reports.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger opened a new can of worms this week by saying that while it's not time to legalize pot, he's willing to discuss it as a revenue-raising measure. Jim Sanders has that story.

Susan Ferriss writes about Propositions 1D and 1E. Would approval begin to unravel the idea that special taxes can be levied for specific purposes?

Dale Kasler reports that CalPERS moved Friday toward requiring its money-management firms to disclose the fees they pay their "placement agents," controversial middlemen who help secure pension investments.

California water officials are fighting back against federal protections for an iconic Delta fish, a tactical shift that threatens to derail a cooperative attempt to fix the state's water problems. Matt Weiser has that story.

The Battle For California!

The James Hartline Report

- On The Frontlines Of The Culture War -

Urgent Alert!

This is the Battle of Our Generation: The Battle For California!

As California Goes - So Goes Our Nation!

June 5 - 6, 2009

Thousands of gay activists are preparing a massive march on San Diego County

on June 6, 2009 in a public effort to repeal Prop. 8, the California voter-approved

ban on same-sex marriages. The radical homosexual event called

The Equality Torch Relay is part of the largest effort in California history to repeal

Prop. 8 and ensure that same-sex marriages are once again forced on our state.

Does The Christian Community Have An Answer?

Before one, single foot is placed on the ground of San Diego County by

the advocates for same-sex marriage in their efforts to repeal Prop. 8,

Christians from around San Diego County and America will be gathering

for a historical prayer and worship event to call upon the Spirit of the Lord

to move on California to save our generation for His Glorious purposes.

Churches, Youth Groups, Prayer Warriors and Worship Teams Are Invited To Attend A Historical Prayer & Worship Gathering!

This is the Lord's Generation

Friday - June 5, 2009

Music, prayer, prophetic declarations and intercession for God's Spirit to move upon our land and triumph over our opponents

The Final Battle For California Has Begun!

This is a time of great urgency for Christians who support traditional marriage values in the state of California. Since the passage of Prop. 8 (the ban on same-sex marriages) in California in 2008, radicalized homosexual forces have been working non-stop in their efforts to repeal Prop. 8. The goal of our opponents is to place an initiative on the 2010 ballot to repeal Prop. 8. If the Christian Communities of California remain on the sidelines, we could very well see the repeal of Prop. 8 and the restarting of same-sex marriages in our state.

If Prop. 8 is repealed, these radical gay activists will then go on to sue every pastor who does not accept and promote homosexuality from their respective church pulpits. In turn, churches will be forced to use up all of their financial resources defending discrimination lawsuits filed by the ACLU. Christian schools will be forced to promote gay rights and the homosexual lifestyle to their students. If they refuse, their school charters will be revoked for violating statues banning discrimination based upon sexual orientation. The plan is clear: the battle is at hand!

Homosexual activists are using a two-pronged approach in their battle plan to repeal Prop. 8 and then to force same-sex marriages upon the Christian Community whether churches like it or not. The first part of this plan is to sway public opinion in favor of same-sex marriage so that a majority of persuadable California voters will vote to repeal Prop. 8 in 2010. The other, more insidious aspect to their battle plan, is to marginalize key supporters of traditional marriage by defining such supporters as hateful religious extremists who must be condemned and rejected via a repeal of Prop. 8. Recent attacks against Miss California Carrie Prejean gives all of us an accurate picture of the vile hatred that homosexual extremists are attempting to spread throughout the state of California towards anyone who supports traditional marriage values.

Make no mistake about it: San Diego, California is ground zero for America's culture war in the battle to preserve religious liberties and traditional marriage. From the preserving of the Mt. Soledad Cross on public property to the passage of Prop. 8 in 2008, as well as the recent outstanding defense of marriage by San Diego's own Miss California Carrie Prejean, the County of San Diego has been uniquely chosen by God as the center for the culture war, as well as the birthing place for the next great spiritual revival in America. We, in San Diego, have been raised up by God for a unique and prophetic time in our nation's history.

Homosexual activists know this and that is why they are expending so much time and energy on corrupting San Diego County leading up to the 2010 elections and their goal of repealing Prop. 8.

Now, let me take you inside of the war room of California's radical homosexual machine so that I can show you how these radicalized, anti-christian soldiers are preparing to go to battle in San Diego, California to press their case to repeal Prop. 8.

This video from You Tube documents the manipulative efforts of the radical homosexual organization Equality Marriage USA - San Diego Chapter, where one of their activists in the You Tube video unequivocally states that the goal of the homosexual movement is: "more than tolerating - it's accepting, it's embracing (homosexuality)." The video also details their active plans to engage the rural, outlying areas of San Diego County in their drive to overturn the ban on same-sex marriages in California. These are this 21st century's dark evangelists for the anti-christ system.

And, if the Equality California You Tube video does not awaken your need to re-engage yourself in this battle, than take a look at the website called Meet In The Middle 4 Equality. With the theme, "No Reservations, No Compromise" the troops for the repeal of Prop. 8 are out in full force throughout the state of California in their drive to repeal the ban on same-sex marriages. According to an LA Times article posted on that website, for the purposes of repealing Prop. 8, "Wednesday afternoon, Equality California announced it was launching a massive grass-roots campaign that seeks to reach 300,000 voters in the next 100 days."

The primary question for evangelical Christians is this: "Are we just as active for

converting the culture to our Biblical worldview as our opponents are towards

their anti-christian worldview?" Did Jesus Christ save us to become lukewarm

believers or did our Father in Heaven send His only Son to give birth to a

prophetic generation that is determined to save a nation?

~ The Invasion of June 6, 2009 ~

Take a look at the following event that the radical San Diego Gay Pride organization is planning for June 6, 2009 in their efforts to attack Christian values throughout San Diego County as part of their overall plan to repeal Prop 8 and the California ban on same-sex marriages:

The Equality Torch Relay

Saturday - June 6, 2009

The Equality Torch Relay will be carried by hundreds and hopefully

thousands of equal rights supporters to the steps of City Hall in every city

in San Diego County. The Relay will inspire courage for many, and be a

cause of reflection for those who haven't considered how LGBT

discrimination could affect someone they love. Some will walk, some will

run and together we will inspire our community as we raise awareness of

the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender San Diegans who embody our

community's rich history ofcourage, spirit, achievement, and activism.

The Equality Torch will unite the San Diego Region and use the power of our neighborhoods standing arm-in-arm to inspire change.

Contrary to the slick, pseudo-feel good advertising that the Olympics-themed "Equality" Torch Relay is putting forth in preparation for their massive June 6th event, the real message that these radical, anti-christian gay activists will be conveying to impressionable voters and the media throughout our San Diego neighborhoods on June 6th is revealed in another part of the San Diego Gay Pride website called Stand Against Religious Extremism. For these socialistic, intrusive homosexual activists, love is the last thing their message conveys. Rather, they are intent on carrying forth an angry tirade against Christians, Mormons, Catholics and pro-marriage African American churchgoers as they march on every neighborhood and city hall in the entire County of San Diego on June 6th as a part of a well-funded battle plan to repeal Prop. 8 and the ban on same-sex marriages in California.

Here is how the San Diego Gay Pride website describe Catholics, supporters of

Prop. 8 and anyone else who is standing in the way of their goal of overturning

the ban on same-sex marriages. Their vicious attack on Catholic attorney

Charles LiMandri and his legal defense of four San Diego firemen who were

forced to participate in the 2007 San Diego Gay Pride Parade is described as

follows:

Stand Against Religious Extremism

The San Diego Gay Pride websites states:

What was the Firefighter Lawsuit really about?

Let there be no confusion:

This lawsuit was about hate, pure and simple. Hate against you. Hate against me. Hate

against our LGBT community and our struggle for equal rights. Religious extremism is

something we are all too familiar with in San Diego, from John McCusker being denied a

Catholic funeral by the Bishop of San Diego, to the religiously funded Prop 8 Campaign,

to this most recent settlement in favor of four firefighters who participated in the San Diego

Pride Parade.

We need your help! Take a stand against religious extremism.

Take a stand against hate.

"Stand with us and make a donation to San Diego (Gay) Pride. Our goal is to raise

$34,301, to surpass the settlement granted to the firefighters. The funds we raise will not

be used for hate, for divisiveness, or for discrimination. We will use the funds raised to

celebrate Pride in our community, to fight for equal rights, and to follow our vision to

create a world free of prejudice and bias. Please give today and help us raise $34,301 to

show our adversaries that any action they take against us will be met with an equal and

opposite reaction of love and equality for all people. Stand with us now. We will not be

defeated."

~ The Cost Is Too High For Christians To Remain Silent ~

Because these radicalized homosexual activists are now aware that the majority of Californians do not agree with their distorted and unbiblical views on marriage and family, they are stooping to a well-funded campaign of targeting the Christian, Catholic and Mormon Communities by defining all of us who helped to pass Prop. 8 as hateful religious extremists. Of course, the Christian Community is neither hateful or extreme, but if we remain quietly on the sidelines while these radicals falsely define who we are prior to next year's election, there is a real possibility that they could covertly sway a significant portion of the voting population to agree with them to repeal Prop. 8.

On Saturday, June 6, 2009 gay activists plan to engage in an all out war to press

their plan to repeal Prop. 8, the ban on same-sex marriages that was passed by

California voters in 2008. The Equality Torch Relay, sponsored by the radical

homosexual group, San Diego Gay Pride, plans to march on every city in San

Diego County on Saturday, June 6, 2009. Carrying multiple "Equality" torches,

much like the Olympics does every four years, these radical gay activists plan to

target every community in San Diego County to influence public opinion in an

effort to repeal Prop. 8 via a new ballot initiative that they seek to place on the ballot in 2010.

What should our response be?

We certainly cannot remain neutral as we wait for the darkness to prevail. As the great orator Edmund Burke stated, "All it takes for evil to triumph, is for a few good men (or woman) to do is nothing." We must lay our lives before the throne of God and ask Him to intervene in the affairs of our culture. This is the goal of our Prayer and Worship Event on Friday - June 5, 2009.

We are also reminded of a similar time in ancient Israel, when the honorable King Jehoshaphat was faced with a similar dilemma. The land of Judah was being threatened by a massive invasion of wicked nations. The faithful King of that ancient land gathered his people together and they cried out in unity for the mercy of their God to intervene. We read in 2 Chronicles 20:14-15,17 what the Lord had to say to King Jehoshaphat and his people when the Spirit of the Lord came upon a great prophet in response to their pleas for God's help:

Then in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the

son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the

Levite of the sons of Asaph; and he said, "Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of

Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: thus says the LORD to you, 'Do not fear or be

dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's.

'You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of

the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be dismayed;

tomorrow go out to face them, for the LORD is with you."

And that is what we intend to do on Friday, June 5, 2009, the night before this army of

homosexual activists march the streets of San Diego County. We will be coordinating

prayer events throughout the United States on behalf of our battle in San Diego.

James Hartline and the Hillcrest Mission will be holding a prayer and worship

event at Calvary Temple Assembly of God. You are invited to join James,

worship leader Chris Cohen and a host of other worship leaders, prophetic voices

and prayer warriors as we take our stand before the God of heaven to plead for

His intervention in our state.

Gregory Thompson, Director of America Asleep kNOw More will be coordinating

a prayer event in San Antonio, Texas on June 5th to support us.

Coach Dave Daubemnire of Pass The Salt Ministries will be holding a prayer

event in Ohio on June 5th to support us.

You can forward your ministry name to support us as well.

Will You join us? Will you stand in intercession on Friday evening,

June 5, 2009 as we call upon our God to help us in this great battle to

save the state of California. As California goes, so goes the nation.

RSVP James Hartline with your intention of participating.
