Pro-Life Freedom Rides Begin This Friday, 7/23 in Birmingham

Yes, I was being a total racist, uneducated dweeb and watched Glenn Beck on Friday.  It was a fabulous show!!!!  (So, up yours, Liberal Weenies!)  Glenn had two fascinating guests on: Rev. Stephen Broden, GOP congressional candidate from Texas and senior pastor of Fair Park Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, and Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Both spoke of conservatism among Americans -- Black and White. 

Dr. Alveda King talked about an exciting event to take place this Friday: ProLife Freedom Rides!  From the website prolifefreedomride.org:

“My Uncle Martin had a dream that Protestants and Catholics and Gentiles and Jews would join together and sing the age old spiritual ‘Free at Last,’” stated Dr. Alveda King. "At Priests for Life, we will be singing and praying on the Pro-life Freedom Rides. We urge all people of good will to join us as we link the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century to the heart cry for life in the 21st Century.” 

Dr. Alveda King, who is a full-time member of the Pastoral Team of Priests for Life and niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., will be leading “Pro-life Freedom Rides” in the coming months, building on a method that the Civil Rights Movement used effectively forty years ago.

In that movement, thirteen individuals boarded a bus in Washington DC in 1961 and headed for New Orleans. Their intent was to test the enforcement of a Supreme Court decision the previous year that outlawed racial segregation in the restaurants and waiting areas of bus terminals that served interstate travelers.

That one ride led to dozens of others in various parts of the country, with hundreds of people getting involved.

Now, Dr. King and the team of Priests for Life believe it is time for a "Pro-life Freedom Ride," a peaceful, visible expression of the commitment of people around the country to work for freedom for the unborn. The rides will choose cities with strategic significance for the movement. While pro-life activists ride the buses, all pro-life people nationwide will be invited to participate simultaneously in concrete activities that will call for freedom on various levels: freedom from the lies that permit abortion, freedom from the despair that leads to and follows abortion, freedom from the fear that keeps people from fighting abortion, freedom from the political oppression that robs the unborn of their rights before the law.

Here's a particularly moving section from the Glenn Beck interview:



It's exciting to see another wave of the Civil Rights Movement happening right before our very eyes! -- and this in spite of the haters trying to polarize We The People!

How wonderful, too, to learn on the show that Dr. Alveda King will be appearing with Beck at his 8/28 Rally!  What a courageous woman to do so in spite of the fire she has come under for the appearance.

"The Tea Party is so much bigger than Barack Obama."

"They need people to be angry."  

"They need a race war or any kind of war to pull people apart."

Sowing discontent and moral confusion -- tactic of division as espoused by Saul Alinsky.
