True Marriage protects children who need BOTH their mothers and fathers.

Kim Davis - Update from Salt Shakers

9/9/2015

Background

Kim Davis, an elected County clerk in Kentucky, USA, who issues marriage licences as part of her job, refused to hand out licences for homosexual ‘marriages’ because of her Christian faith (and the LAW of Kentucky). This has been a targeted campaign by homosexuals. Watch the video at the ABC (USA) link below – where she is confronted by homosexuals PLUS the media…

After same-sex marriage was ‘legalized’ nationwide in the USA in late June by the Supreme Court, Kim Davis filed a suit in federal court, arguing that she should be excused from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on the basis of her "Christian faith." She then refused to hand out marriage licenses to anyone. A District Court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against her and ordered her to issue marriage licenses. She then appealed to the US Supreme Court for a ‘stay’ but the “US Supreme Court refused Davis' request for a stay, which was a request to put the lower court's ruling on hold pending appeal.” When she continued to refuse to hand out ‘marriage’ licences to homosexual couples, Kim Davis was sent to jail for ‘contempt of court’ on 2 September. As she was led away, a crowd chanted ‘Love wins’!

Appeal lodged

On 6 September, Kim and her lawyers lodged an appeal against the contempt order (Liberty Counsel report). Yesterday (7 September) her lawyers lodged an “emergency request for the Governor to accommodate Kim’s religious conviction, which would free her from jail” (LC report).

What LAW?

Importantly, Kim Davis is asking the question, “Under what law am I authorized to issue homosexual couples a marriage license?”

As Mike Huckabee states, “The Supreme Court cannot and did not make a law. They only made a ruling on a law. Congress makes the laws. Because Congress has made no law allowing for same-sex marriage, Kim does not have the Constitutional authority to issue a marriage license to homosexual couples.”

Others have noted (see below) that the Constitution of Kentucky, under which she swore her Oath of Office, still states that marriage is between a man and a woman!

Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor, Baptist pastor and Republican presidential candidate, plans to visit Kim at the Carter County Detention Center this week, and will host a rally in her honour after meeting her. Mike said, “Having Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubt of the criminalization of Christianity in our country,” and added, “What a world, where Hillary Clinton isn’t in jail but Kim Davis is!”

Hillary Clinton OPPOSES Kim’s actions

Hillary Clinton distributed an article about the jailing of Kim Davis and tweeted, “Marriage equality is the law of the land. Officials should be held to their duty to uphold the law—end of story.” (source)

The LAW of Kentucky – marriage between a man and a woman

One commentator notes that Kim Davis swore an oath to uphold the law of Kentucky – and the Kentucky Constitution STILL says that marriage is between a man and a woman – and that anyone marrying any OTHERS apart from a man and a woman commits a misdemeanour and is liable to a fine and removal from office! (See comment and the law here). The commentator claims that SCOTUS doesn’t override that and that the people of Kentucky have to vote to change the Constitution – interesting point!

Truth & Freedom Files
"With all these lies, someone has to tell the truth."
Truth, marriage, children, family, fathers, mothers, freedoms of speech, religion and conscience are good things and are worth fighting for, so please share, tweet, email, letterbox drop, start blogs, write and visit politicians, and talk with your family and friends until common-sense is restored.

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." Ronald Reagan

"Marriage is, has always been and can only ever be between a man and a woman. It was 'born this way.' It can be nothing else, that is the truth. People who identify as homosexual have the same dignity as all other human beings and should be treated with the utmost respect. They are free to do as they like. But truth is still truth. Legislating a falsehood and imposing it on society, especially on children, does not change the truth. What should concern everyone is what comes next after marriage."

There are plenty of people speaking up for LGBTI and the cultural Marxists engulfing our once young and free society (or doing and saying nothing due to the intimidation tactics these movements employ). They do not need any more help, they have affectively taken Australia. But where are the responsible adults protecting our nation's children? Australia's children are Australia's future. This site seeks to speak up on their behalf.
This forceful movement, supposedly seeking to defend the rights of a minority, are in the process inflicting incredible damage on children, who are being so confused, and to be frank, abused, by this movement. How do we help children to process this forcefully imposed "normalization" or "mardi-gra-ification" of our society? Surely not by silence or capitulation. Probably through boldly and persistently speaking the truth.

Western freedom is under imminent threat. The enemy is at the gates, they have gained control of education, universities, media, political parties. It will be a long and draining battle to regain lost ground, but it can be done, as it has been done throughout all previous attacks.
Our forefathers fought bad ideas and ideologies last century so we could be free today. We have taken this freedom for granted. Please defend against the bad ideological experiment of today, the anti-freedom political ideology imposing intolerant changes on our society such as same-sex "marriage," homosexual promotion, recruitment and indoctrination and gender confusion.

Encouraging the normalization of abnormal behaviour, especially to children, by changing laws does not serve the public good in any way, nor does it benefit our nation's children.

Every single human being has an innate dignity, worth and value and should be respected. That dignity is weakened by encouraging wrong behavior. Governments have a duty to restrain behavior which is bad for people and society, not to normalize it and unleash the consequences on the wider society.

For the record, TrueMarriageEquality.com, (an aggregator site of news and articles covering the attempt by the ideological and political movement to take over Western society) is not anti-anyone and has no phobia against anyone. We are for people, and we especially seek to defend children, who need BOTH their mother and father if at all possible.. We recognize there are serious consequences from following wrong paths in life and desire to speak up about some of these wrong paths/bad ideas/assaults on good society and freedom. We simply desire to: defend and preserve marriage, mainly for children’s sake; stop the indoctrination of children and youth into harmful sexual practices; speak against the sexualization of children; speak against the gender confusion movement; warn of an impending major health crisis in our society from following wrong paths; prevent the further abolition of our society’s moral foundations; and defend truth and freedoms of speech, religion and conscientious objection. .

"Defending marriage and family is about defending freedom and children. People lose their freedom by deception or force, never knowingly or willingly. We need to wake up to the very real threat at our doorstep."

Expose the Lie, Defend the Truth.
This blog is not against people in any way, but rather seeks to defend children and freedom against the tyranny of the consequences of wrong behavior and the political ideology behind the cultural Marxist movement imposing its worldview at the expense of any other views. Just as people can be against Christianity but not against Christians, or against Islam but not against Muslims, so people should be free to be against dangerous ideology and lifestyle promotion and indoctrination while not being against the proponents.

This Blog simply mostly gathers and re-posts emails, articles, comments, quotes, and links from around the web and other news sources to help expose the modern deception called "Equality," a legal Trojan horse which could dismantle our free society from within by effectively silencing our moral foundations which have served us so well and imposing a Marxist ideology on our once young and free nation.

This movement seeks to change our laws thus teaching and promoting things which goes against most people's conscience and beliefs, let alone common-sense. If successful there will have to be major growth of big (i.e. Totalitarian) government, government imposed and enforced definitions of morality, and a major decline in many personal freedoms. Other minority groups will then demand legal "equality."

Most importantly it is not good for children to deny them a mother or a father. Children need protection from bad ideas, bad ideologies and from adults seeking to harm them. So, if for no other reason, please defend truth for the sake of the children. Remember, you too were once a child.
