N.C.Court of Appeals
North Carolina Judicial Races are nonpartisan so you have to do a little work to find out about each candidate. One thing that you may want to know is that setting N.C. Court of Appeals candidate John S. Arrowood, who was appointed to his seat by Gov.Mike Easley in August 2007 is openly gay.You will not find that in the voter guide that the state of North Carolina sends out, but I found it in the Charlotte Observer in a article praising him for being the first openly gay person to hold a statewide office.

Yes, You Will Vote!
It has never been easier to vote than it is today in America. We are blessed to have early voting, one stop registration/voting, Election Day voter transportation, all sorts of ways to make voting more convenient for citizens of this great nation. And it’s free! In my short lifetime, I can remember when, at least in Oklahoma, you had to pay the poll tax in order to vote.
And yet I heard someone say he wasn’t going to vote. That’s right! I couldn’t believe it either. He said he was fed up with all the negative politics and his candidate didn’t win the nomination anyway so he just wasn’t going to vote. Well that man IS going to vote. By not casting a ballot he is voting FOR apathy and AGAINST democracy. Not only that, but obviously there is more than one position up for grabs on the ballot. His non-vote is a tacit approval of every winning candidate.
I’m told that in the mid-term election of 1986, Ronald Reagan’s second term, there were five senate candidates who stood for Christian values who lost by a total of about 57,000 votes. That’s less than 12,000 votes per state in the five states they would have represented in the U.S. Senate. In those five states there were over 5,000,000 Christian voters who just didn’t vote. If only 1%, one out of every 100 of those good Christian folks had voted their values in those elections, conceivably those five senators would have been elected, and there have been a ten vote swing in the United States Senate on numerous critical issues.
Your vote is extremely important in this year’s election. Brave men and women have shed their blood for this privilege. Let’s be wise stewards of this sacred and joyful responsibility.

AMERICA !! Where have we gone?
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life!
America! America!
O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
GOD shed his grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
* GOD, please have mercy on us as a country ! What have we done, where have we gone ? We as Americans have been so blessed by God and what have we done ? We have kicked GOD out of our schools, killed millions and millions of babies, have homosexual marriages, we have no morals anymore and the list goes on!
Please PRAY hard and VOTE !! Take a friend or neighbor with you and vote for people who still do have morals and that share the same values that you do.

Over 50 million and still counting !!!
American Soldiers Killed in Combat Since 1776 - 656,708
American Babies Murdered By Abortionists Since 1976 - 50,000,000 PLUS
These are the most up-to-date numbers as of May 19,2008
** In my opinion The American Soldier , especially the ones that have given their lives for our country , are some of the greatest HERO'S that have ever stepped foot on this earth.
**Of the over 50 million Babies that have been murdered in the last 32 years, what if just one of them grew up and found a cure for cancer, or diabetes,or heart disease What if if just one of them found an alternative to oil and gas ? What if just one of them grew up to become a great leader of a company, a church or even the president of The United States of America ? And the list goes on because no one knows who we have killed , except GOD !
GOD have mercy on us !!

DID OUR CATAWBA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DO WHAT THE ACLU COULDN'T?
In the summer of 2000, the ACLU came into Catawba County and decided that they were going to tell us what to do with our County Seal. Our county banded together like I have never seen before or since, regular people, preachers, business people and most of all the main group that was up front in this fight, our County Commissioners. We the people of Catawba County won against the ACLU, something that is not real common and one of the resons is because we did not back down from them. We sent a message that summer that the County Seal is ours, the citizens of Catawba County, that it represents us and our history.
Well guess what? On July 13, 2005 the Catawba County Seal was trademarked( or service marked) by our county at The Secretary of State office in Raleigh,NC. On November 7, 2005 our current county commissioners held a Closed Door Session to discuss the County Seal ( six months after this, the minutes to this meeting were released). At a commissioner meeting on November 21 ,2005 the matter regarding the use of the County Seal was discussed. After talking about several different options between the commissioners and the county attorney, a commissioner made a motion to RESTRICT THE USE OF THE COUNTY SEAL to official County purposes but not restrict the use for history purposes. The motion carried unanimously.
Click here to read the actual minutes of the meeting.
What does this mean? If I put the Seal on my car, or on the window of my home, that is not for history purposes, but because that I am proud to be from Catawba County, am I in violation of their code ? I am sure that if you ask our commissioners about this you will get plenty of spin.

PRAY & VOTE on NOVEMBER 4
Pray and VOTE on November 4 and encourage other pro family conservatives to do the same ! As Christians living in a democracy, it is not only our civic duty to vote, but also our Christian duty, as the citizen leaders of our country.
Remember when voting what JESUS said, Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? *Luke 6:39
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. * Exodus 18;21
***Any party which takes credit for the rain, must not be surprised if its opponents blame it for the drought. * Dwight W. Marrow
