Peaceful Protest for God!

Local man declares "Jihad for Jesus"

A local man has taken on one of the most controversial subjects in American society in a big way.

Known only as "Saul" on his blog, he has publicly stated that the Obama administration's stance on abortion is not only against his Christian beliefs, but against God. And to protest the governments new willingness to fund abortions worldwide, as well as support embryonic stem cell research, Saul is taking his money out of the government completely... he's staging a peaceful protest by not paying income taxes.

"It's not my money or your money or the government's money. It's God's money. And as long as any of God's money is entrusted to me, I will not let it fund abortion in any way, shape or form," he says. "To give any money to a government that willingly murders children is the same as me condoning it. I do not condone abortion and neither does God."

This, in addition to prayer and a call to other Christians to stand with him, is being done in hopes that President Obama will reverse his wide support of abortion policies. On March 9, Obama overturned the stem cell research ban put in place by the Bush administration, opening the door to Americans funding abortion and abortion-related agencies abroad. Religious leaders and women's health advocates have openly renounced the Obama policies, while Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion advocates have lauded the President for following through on his campaign promises.

"I am ashamed of my government and those that support it's policies on abortion. This country was founded on principles that are Christian," says Saul. "It has fallen, been torn apart from within by our own unwillingness to follow Jesus' simple instruction to love one another as ourselves."

Saul plans on chronicling his peaceful protest on his blog, kansasexorcistsociety.blogspot.com as well as on his personal myspace and facebook pages. He's in the process of creating a new myspace page dedicated just to the protest, as well.

"My hope is that there will be enough Christians to take a stand against the practice of systematically killing our unborn that the United States government will hear our voices and not continue this disgusting practice. In a democracy, every voice should count, even the voices of those that are not yet born," says Saul.
