I want to encourage you to go to Graham's Corner to see past issues that you may have missed, especially the statement against legalizing euthanasia. Have you seen it?

In Graham's Corner this week, are links to a short summary of the Encyclical (3 pages), the text of the Encyclical (25 pages) and the text of a short address by the Pope on the Encyclical (3 pages).

Our mailing list was destroyed somewhat, and we are trying to honour and respect all requests that we had. You see, some of you asked to be reminded that, there was a weekly update and others didn’t. Please be patient with us as we try to rebuild that list. If we send you a reminder and you didn’t want to be on that list, just gently respond to that effect. Tell others, we are back. Welcome back last week we had 125 visitors, where we had fallen to only 30 in the month.

Please join me in thanking our first Webmaster. Todd Winn has been working on making us web friendly since Jan. 30th 2004. Yes that is 100 editions ago. If you want to say hello and thank him, please do so at twinn@virtualministry.com

Dan’s Keyboard will be back up and running soon. For now – go have a visit and see his last entry about why he was home schooled and something that he last posted in December about: Plenary Indulgence Attainable on Dec. 8.

Doug Lambe has sent us a couple for this week’s lighterside contribution, an oldie that we will call Everything happens for a Reason, and a link to a more modern version of another oldie “As I Mature”.

We welcome your comments about our new look! Carla K – you out there? Have you noticed our “archives” at the top of the other pages?

Final thanks from our Candidate

Dear supporters and residents of Ottawa West Nepean,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your moral, spiritual, and financial support over the last few weeks. Despite having run a campaign on a modest budget and a handful of part-time volunteers, our campaign which really only kicked off in the new year, garnered a respectable 905 votes or 1.5% of ballots cast. Independent candidates in this election received an average of 254 votes. Although we were not successful in accomplishing our goal, our campaign team gained valuable experience for future political battles. Over the course of this year, I will be dialoguing with other social conservative leaders across the country about launching an organized social conservative political movement with the aim of impacting the culture at large as well as providing a political means to move our country to the right.

Throughout the campaign, we received many encouraging signs. Many callers to our campaign thanked us for giving them a conscientious choice and a outlet of hope. And that, in the end, is what we were really selling. Hope. Hope for our country, for our children, for mom and dad, and for their marriage. Unlike the other campaigns, which valued power over principle, our campaign was about Canada's future and sustaining its families. Our presence reminded those who worked for the other parties that politics is at the service of the common good of our society. It is not simply about a tax credit or a day care space. It is about sustaining and nurturing the basic building block of society – the traditional family - and recognizing the glue (marriage), which keeps it all together. No amount of peripheral policies, however financially beneficial to families, will alter the fundamental problems facing our nation's families if it jettisons marriage.

Canada will not survive if it turns its back on the family. It will disintegrate. It will turn in on itself in selfishness and envy. Where the traditional family once fostered love, sacrifice, generosity, and respect, the break up of it will foster the opposite: hatred, selfishness, greed, and contempt. The family is a mini-civilization, a mini nation where we learn to become civilized and decent people. But if that family is in a perpetual state of division and redefinition, what hope does Canada have? As the family goes, so goes the country.

There is still time, Canada. Please turn back.

God bless and protect our country.

Yours very truly,

John Pacheco

Just to let you all know what the money situation is. I raised $13,830 and spent $14,690, leaving a deficit of $860. To date, I have made $800 of my own contributions to that total.

Why did Paul Martin want to pass a homosexual bill so badly?

He is not known to be a homosexual, so why is he so interested in this issue, which effects less than 5% of the Canadian population?

Is it possible that Mr. Martin is being influenced to do this for motives which are outside of his own?

Have you ever heard of a man named Maurice Strong?

Maurice Strong hired Paul Martin to work for him when Paul was fresh out of university. Later Maurice helped Paul obtain his own corporation "Canada Steamship Lines."

Maurice has been Paul's good friend and mentor for many years now.

Who is Maurice Strong?

Go to www.torontofreepress.com/2005/edesk042305.htm for a great recent article about him

FACT - Maurice Strong is a very rich and powerful man.

FACT - Maurice Strong and his wife Hanne have a community in Colorado called Baca Grande, "a Mecca for mystics," which they hope will become the "Vatican of the New World Order." (his own words in quotation marks)

FACT - Maurice Strong professes to be an adherent of the Bahai World faith and his wife is an open worshipper of Gaia.

FACT - Gaia is a Mother Earth cult. Survivors report ritual sexual abuse of children, torture, and even murder. Henry Lamb, a long time observer of Maurice Strong writes, "Strong has integrated the Gaia idea into the political institutions of the world through the UNEP and its affiliated governmental and non-governmental organizations."

FACT - Strong is currently directing the U.N. "reform" effort and helping to implement an "Earth Charter," in coordination with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The document calls for the protection of "Mother Earth". His work for the U.N. has earned Strong the title "Father Earth." The "Earth Charter." Promotes abortion, homosexuality and other methods of depopulation. The goal is to keep the planet uncontaminated by humans for the exclusive use of animals. Check out article www.lifesite.net/ldn/2002/sep/02091201.html

FACT - Maurice Strong became president of the Better World Society in 1988. Strong’s good friend Ted Turner started this organization, who stated, "Christianity is a religion for losers...The Ten Commandments are obsolete." The Better World Society presented a "Population Stabilization Medal" to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, which helped underwrite Communist China's population control program of forced abortions, involuntary sterilization and infanticide.

Homosexuality is not the main issue for Maurice Strong. The main issue is depopulating the world. The belief is that the world has too many people. Homosexuality suits their worldview very well because homosexuality leads to death. No more reproduction of the human species takes place if the whole population takes up this lifestyle. Population reduction is achieved.

Next time you go to vote, don't only consider who is on the platform. Look behind the man to see who is pulling the puppet strings.

Next time you are confronted with mandatory vaccines, take a moment to re-examine your religious beliefs and become educated about the contents, the purpose, and the risk of vaccinations.
