Hello, fellow pro-lifers:
Please join us for what many consider the ultimate family fieldtrip...
Operation Save America's annual national event is taking place right here in Colorado.
While some attendees will witness with us Saturday morning the 16th in front of the Planned Parenthood abortuary located two blocks west of City Park at 20th & Vine Streets, the event itself officially kicks off at 6:30 pm Sunday, July 17, at Redeemer Community Church.
The Redeemer Temple is conveniently located about one mile west of Elitch's amusement park just a little west of downtown Denver in a nice neighborhood near 32nd and Lowell Streets. Just take the Speer exit off of I-25 and continue on to 32nd, and then look for Lowell.
Pastor Lou and the good folks at Redeemer have graciously loaned their facility, where we will be offering nightly services and rallies; afternoon equipping seminars and workshops on Christian activism, stem cell research, and similarly interesting topics; and youth training and activities. You'll hear a variety of speakers from around the country and others from right here in Colorado. If you have never heard Reverend Flip Benham, OSA's Executive Director, you have really missed something special. His knowledge of the Word and the exciting ways he shares timely messages are truly exhilarating. His countless preachings and interviews across the nation on various life issues have been some of the more memorable programs anyone recalls.
Have you ever wondered how to get involved in activism? Has your family looked for an outlet to share your faith? Would you like to be better equipped to deal with our antagonistic, GOD-hating society? Would you like to be a part of a solemn assembly whereby Catholics and Christian brothers and sisters come together to praise our LORD and exclaim His glories? During the day for the next six, there will be public witness and displays and many other exciting and effective ways to reach out to the lost and to re-ignite the Church. Understandably, this IS the best way for you and your family to leave the comfort zone and take your ministry to the streets.
Don't worry about not having experience in activism. There are many parts to Christ's body and they all serve different functions; each are valued. Some come to pray. Some come to learn. Some come to be re-energized. But, please, do not miss out on one of the most exciting events you'll ever attend. Please note, we employ only Biblical principles: the Bible is our foundation, the cross of Christ is our strategy, the repentance of the Church is our ultimate goal.
Why Denver, you might ask? After more than fifty million babies, Denver is where the abortion holocaust all began. In 1967 (yes, six years before Roe v. Wade was decided), Colorado was the first state in the union to legalize the murder of pre-born children. The first abortion mill in the country was the Planned Parenthood facility in Denver, Colorado. The Denver area also shamefully boasts of having the second highest percentage of homosexuals - behind San Francisco. Their recent "Pride" parade held in the downtown area drew hundreds of thousands of people in support. They virtually own our current legislature, with a couple of openly and unabashed homosexuals holding prominent positions and driving their agenda of perversion and moral decay. What better place for Christ's Church to storm the gates of hell in the mighty name of Jesus!
Jesus is calling the salt of the earth out of the salt shaker! Please, come and join us.

A WAY OUT OF THE WILDERNESS???
This letter ran in the Colorado Springs Gazette May 3, 2005. Read the comments of others or post your own! Back to KGOV.
Focus on the Strategy
Republican Judges are Pro-Choice
Dobson Criticizes His “Own” Judges
An Open Letter, with Love and Respect, to Dr. James Dobson:
In desperation, some members of Denver Bible Church had our own Justice Sundae in a peaceful protest at Senator Salazar’s Dairy Queen. The goal was to oppose his support for the killing of unborn children, but mostly to expose the result of your quarter-century strategy of getting judges who respect life by electing pro-life Republican presidents.
On your Justice Sunday, you were outraged by your own judges! Dr. Dobson, you listed the 11th Circuit decision against Terri Schiavo as an example that the judiciary is “out of control.” But all six of the justices nominated by our pro-life Republican presidents (Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II), voted against your position! All six (including William Pryor whom President Bush recess-appointed last year to avoid a Democratic filibuster), voted not to save Terri’s life and against our side. All six!
It is time to admit that your strategy has failed. Republicans nominated 58 percent of the federal judiciary [Ft. Collins’ Coloradoan.com April 28], which you rightly expose as firmly against family values. The Moral Majority/Christian Coalition/Focus on the Family 25-year strategy of getting anti-abortion judges through Republican victories has utterly failed; and now George W. Bush is keeping his word by living up to his very first campaign promise to ignore abortion when nominating judges. It was a Republican Supreme Court which legalized abortion, and a Republican-nominated judge even wrote Roe v. Wade. The current Supreme Court keeps abortion legal with seven of the nine sitting justices nominated by Republican presidents.
The judge who wrote the 9th Circuit ruling against the words “under God” in the Pledge was nominated by a Republican president. In 2002 a New York federal judge ruled that a convicted child sex offender could not be stopped from attracting children with balloons in a public park. That judge was nominated by George Bush Sr., and this compares to the current Republican U.S. Supreme Court which decided in favor of the child-porn industry against families and law enforcement, making it harder to prosecute those who sodomize children for profit. Will you please publicly expose that the vast majority of the justices nominated by our pro-life Republican presidents are pro-choice and refuse to uphold traditional biblical morality?
Our biggest successes are mostly hollow. We have spent most of a decade fighting to ban partial-birth abortion, which is tantamount to Germans banning Zyklon A only to have Zyklon B used in the extermination camps instead, while today’s abortionists simply use a different method on late-term babies and have not canceled a single abortion as a result. And the “pro-life” justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have never declared an unborn child’s fundamental right to life, but rather criticize Roe only because abortion should not be a judicial but a legislative issue; this very position undermines the safety of children as though any subdivision of government could have the right to decriminalize murder. The judges that we pretend are conservative actually are only committed to process, not to Christian values, so that when Clarence Thomas dissented from overturning the Texas sodomy law that mercifully opposed harmful behavior, we touted him as supporting Christian values, yet he wrote that if he were a state legislator he would vote to overturn the “silly” law [see SupremeCourtUS.gov or see excerpt below].
Dr. Dobson, respectfully, you are outraged by your own judges. Those in the womb when Reagan campaigned for president have now graduated from college, and the de facto Focus political strategy has packed the Federal judiciary with pro-choice Republican judges. You must come to terms with this failed strategy. You carry a heavy weight as America’s evangelical leader in the war against injustice, especially heavy if you lead by compromise; whereas Christ’s burden is light. We recommend the strategy you declared a decade ago but have since abandoned. Back then you repeatedly pledged, as stated on your program in March of 1995, “I am committed never again to cast a vote for a politician who would kill one innocent baby.”
Our leaders have been reduced to plotting battles in which every victory is a retreat. Yet your previous strategy permits no defeat. Do right and risk the consequences. The battle is not only in America, but worldwide 45 million babies [guttmacher.org] die annually. Elevating campaign savvy above righteousness guarantees only failure. Truth is not politically naive. For decades we have done evil that good may come, only to affirm Romans 3:8. Faithfulness to God is our best hope of outlawing abortion and protecting family values. Our failed political strategy makes America increasingly unsafe for children. Sadly, George W. Bush is proud of the pro-choice judges he packed the Texas Supreme Court with, and has put on the federal judiciary.
Without Christian leaders upholding your old pledge, Republican presidents simply use us conservative Christians; and the compromise tremendously weakens our side. You noticed that during the battle for Terri Schindler most religious conservatives in the media stated, “this all could have been avoided if Terri had left a written directive.” With those words, the pro-life community crossed the line to support assisted suicide, starving to death people who are not dying, as long as there is a Living Will. Our pro-life leaders have become weak after a quarter-century of compromise, never compromising on Republican-party politics, but on Thou Shalt Not Murder, all in vain hope of thereby making progress toward victory.
Federally, Republican-nominated judges issue most of the anti- Christian rulings in America. We have to stop focusing on code words that are a recipe for surrender, such as demanding strict constructionists, judicial philosophy, original intent, and constitutionalists (by which justices upheld Article I in the Dred Scott ruling that black people were property, and the Nuremberg trials brought convictions). Such terminology is another part of the failed strategy which obscures our true demand, for judges who fear God and oppose the killing of the innocent.
Thus, the issue is not the Democratic filibuster, but the failed Christian political strategy that has packed the federal judiciary with pro-choice Republican judges. Please, Dr. Dobson, take up your pledge again, and provide the leadership we desperately need.
In Christ, -Pastor Bob Enyart
