My Job and The Urine Test
MY JOB AND THE URINE TEST
I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB...
AND I HAVE TO AGREE 100%
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work,
they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government
distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get t
hat paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine
test with which I have no problem. What I do have
a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to
people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't
one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check
because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please
understand, I have no problem with helping people get
back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a
problem with helping someone sitting on their A$$,
doing drugs, while I work...Can you imagine how
much money the state would save if people had to
pass a urine test to ge t a public assistance check?
Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't.
Hope you all will pass it along, though . . .
Something has to change in this country -- and soon

watercraft unit, which must include at

Saluting the Flag
SALUTING THE FLAG UPDATE 02: President Bush
signed on 28 JAN 08 a law amending federal code
to allow a veteran to salute the U.S. flag while not
in uniform in certain, but not all, situations. The amended
federal code addresses actions for a viewer of the
U.S. flag during its hoisting, lowering or passing. In
these instances, the law allows a veteran in civilian
attire to salute the flag. All other persons present should
face the flag, or if applicable, remove their headdress
with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the
hand being over the heart. Citizens of other countries
present should stand at attention. All such conduct
toward the flag in a moving column should be rendered
at the moment the flag passes. However, another section
of federal code that specifically relates to actions of those
reciting the Pledge of Allegiance was not amended. In this
case, a veteran in civilian attire is not specifically authorized
to render a hand salute during the Pledge. In any case, a
veteran in civilian clothes is authorized to place their right
hand over their heart as has been tradition.

Islam teachings in our prison ministries
Lord Jesus Christ ... By Rick Mathes
This is very interesting and just a bit
scary ... but is it scary enough to generate
something besides talk? I'm afraid far too
many Catholics, Protestants, and Jews will
wait until it hits them upside the head on a
very personal level before they will do
something besides talk about it. But by
then it will be too late.
The Muslim religion is the fastest
growing religion per capita in the United
States , especially in the minority races!!!
Last month I attended my annual
training session that's required for
maintaining my state prison security
clearance. During the training session
there was a presentation by three speakers
representing the Roman Catholic,
Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained
each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what
the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam
gave a great presentation of the basics
of Islam, complete with a video. After the
presentations, time was provided for
questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed
my question to the Imam and asked:
' Please, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I understand that most Imams and
clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad
[Holy war] against the infidels of the world
and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a
command to all Muslims) they are assured
of a place in heaven. If that's the case,
can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

of a place in heaven. If that's the case,
can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement
with my statements and, without
hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make
sure I have this straight. All followers
of Allah have been commanded to
kill everyone who is not of your faith
so they can have a place in heaven.
Is that correct?'
The expression on his face
changed from one of authority and
command to that of 'a little boy who
had just been caught with his hand
in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' ;
I then stated, 'Well sir,
I have a real problem trying to
imagine Pope Benedict commanding
all Catholics to kill those of your
faith or Dr. Charles Stanley
ordering all Protestants to do
the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!
;
The Imam was speechless!
I continued, 'I also have
problem with being your 'friend'
when you and your brother
clerics are telling your followers
to kill me! Let me ask you a
question. Would you rather
have your Allah, who tells you
to kill me in order for you to go
to heaven, or my Jesus who tells
me to love you because I am going
to heaven. and He wants you to
be there with me?'
You could have heard a
pin drop as the Imam hung his
head in shame.
Needless to say, the
organizers and/or promoters
of the 'Diversification' training
seminar were not happy with
Rick's way of dealing with the
Islamic Imam and exposing the
truth about the Muslims' beliefs. < BR>
In twenty years there will
be enough Muslim voters in the
U.S. to elect the President! I
think everyone in the U.S. should
be required to read this, but with
our liberal justice system, liberal
media and the ACLU, there is no
way this will be widely publicized.
The most puzzling thing to me is...
once Islam takes over, there will
no longer be a liberal media or an
ACLU, or a liberal justice system.
So in effect, they are slitting their
own throats by not publicizing this.
If you will, please pass this
on to your e-mail contacts. At least
that is one thing we can all do.
Then no one can say they were
not warned in time.
This is a true story and the author,
Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader
in prison ministry. The man who
walks with God always gets to his
destination I hve a pulse you have a purpose!
Did You Know?
Did you know?
I didn't know!
How could we?
Did you know
that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies in Iraq?
Did you know
that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
Did you know
that 3100 schools have been renovated,
364 schools are under rehabilitation,
263 new schools are now under construction;
and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq ?
Did you know
that Iraq 's higher educational structure consists
of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers,
all currently operating?
Did you know
that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in
January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
Did you know
that the Iraqi Navy is operational?
They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know
that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,
which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night
and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know
that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?
Did you know
that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know
that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq
that produce over 3500 new officers every 8 weeks?
Did you know
there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq ?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals,
83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities
and 69 electrical facilities.
Did you know
that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5
have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know
that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?
Did you know
that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq
and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know
that Iraq has an independent media that consists of
75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know
that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?
Did you know
that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a
televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WON'T TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country,
we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive
in Iraq serves two purposes:
It is intended to undermine the world's perception
of the United States thus minimizing consequent support;
and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
Above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site.
Pass this on to as many people as you can.
