Michigan, USA – “The man is an inspiration to the whole world. The Pope climbed down the stage to kiss him,” says Gabby Kajy. “I didn’t know much about him until I saw him at the ECRC festival at St. Thomas. I bought all his CD’s which he signed with his feet. He was incredible and I have been a fan ever since.”
Kajy is talking about the famous Tony Melendez. It was on September 15, 1987, he played his guitar for Pope John Paul II in Los Angeles. Born without arms, he performed a touching song entitled Never Be The Same. When the Pope approached him from the stage to kiss him in appreciation, it seemed to reflect the sentiments of the entire country.
Never Be the Same was an appropriate song Melendez sang for the Holy Father, for those few moments changed Tony Melendez' life and brought his unrestrained abilities as a guitarist into national attention. It seems to be a fitting place for a man who has spent his life putting personal confidence above his handicap. The international marvel has been featured on Life On A Rock, The 700 Club, Good Morning America, The Today Show, CBS This Morning, NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, Home Life Television, and Entertainment Tonight to name just a few of his countless television appearances.
Melendez is being called back to an encore presentation for the ECRC festival to be held at St. Joseph Chaldean Church campus in Troy this Friday, September 26. The concert is open to the public and tickets are being subsidized to the bargain of only $10 for a two-day concert pass.

Rena Oram considers herself a modern day abolitionist. “The stain on world history to enslave other humans is deplorable. It took abolitionist to convince the world that every human life has value. Today, we are called ‘aborlitionists.’ We are modern day abolitionists that work to convince the world that babies in the womb also have the right of life and freedom.”
Oram helped organize a student group that traveled to Washing D.C. for the annual March for Life. The Chaldean activist was joined by hundreds of thousands of other young adults from across the country.
The Annual March for Life draws attention to the millions killed due to the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision to legalize abortion in the case of Roe v. Wade. Although nearly half a million gathered to protest the effects of the Court’s decision on the rights of the unborn, the march receive little coverage in mainstream media.
“The media won’t cover our march because they foolishly believe this is a privacy or woman’s choice issue. It is not. A baby is a natural consequence to a choice that has already been made. It drives me crazy that people just won’t accept personal responsibility for their behavior,” says Oram.
Michigan has been a hot-bed in the ongoing struggle to end infanticide. Recently Students for Life of America secretly captured a speech by abortion provider Dr. Alberto Hodari on Wayne State University’s campus where the doctor claims doctors of have a license to lie to a patient to perform the necessary procedures.

The goal is control
(Henry Lamb) - Whether they are called Democrats, Socialists, Marxists, or Progressives, the current leadership in Washington has but one goal: control. The current leadership has demonstrated its belief that government must control virtually every facet of the economy, of politics, and the life of every citizen...
A look at Obamacare by the numbers
(Kevin Price) - Critics of the President's health care agenda are always looking for the "right words" to convince others about the danger that will come with Obama's radical agenda. Maybe the most effective rebuttal is not in words, but in numbers. It is through reviewing the impact, in numbers, that Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is tackling this sweeping and far reaching legislation...
Though bankrupt, ACORN is succeeding in its subversive mission
(Michael Gaynor) - Obama is about to deliver as much "health care reform" as possible, fulfilling his commitment to ACORN. Obama has not been exposed and forced to retreat, but ACORN has been exposed and forced to reorganize. It's a small price for ACORN to pay to have America abandon its traditional values and adopt ACORN's socialist way...
Obama: water for votes and other atrocities
(Sher Zieve) - Obama has now joined the likes of all other despots who have ever walked and practiced their tyrannies upon planet Earth. Tyrants like Saddam Hussein, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe, Kim Jong-il and Fidel Castro are now unequivocally united with the US Usurper and Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama in their complete and total subjugation of their countries peoples...
Talk of impeachment
(Alan Caruba) - "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898--1963)...
Life must not die Sunday due to futurecide Obamacare vote
(Kevin Fobbs) - How unique is it that only in Washington D.C. that God's Day of rest is being used to put Life to death by the millions with a vote on Obamacare. There are words that can be used like "what's wrong with these people?" Yet for the 50 million babies who had their life extinguished by Roe V. Wade is was genocide. For the possible 50-plus million more who may fall victim to the Obamacare vote, the vote can only be defined as planned Futurecide...
ObamaCare: an urgent message to our Catholic readers
(Daniel Cassidy) - "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men." (Matthew 5:13)...
Abortion-tainted health care bill: The die is cast?; 'Heroic Media' campaign; 'Biking for Babies'
(Matt C. Abbott) - Well, ladies and gentlemen, we'll soon know if we'll have publicly-funded abortions here in the U.S. I wish I was an optimist, but, alas, I'm not. If there's any consolation in all of this, it's that there has indeed been a concerted effort on the part of many in the pro-life arena to fight the Obama regime's insidious promotion of abortion...
Please don't take my health care away
(Madeline Crabb) - This weekend, 435 politicians will decide the future of our health insurance system. More importantly, the future of our liberties, freedom, and our constitutional republic are at risk. A majority of Americans understand the importance of the vote about to be taken in the U.S. House of Representatives...
The economics of abortion

The nothing-thumpers
(Dan Popp) - By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes. -- Shakespeare (Macbeth) I saw something disturbing today. It's a short video designed for the web. It uses no spoken language, just graphics and pulsating music. You can take a look at it here if you like -- but you probably won't have the same reaction I did...

(Chuck Baldwin) - The constitutional requirement for the Census is found in Article. I. Section. 2. Paragraph. 3.
