It's Official We're in a Recession!

Good afternoon, this is Dan Hocker, and welcome back to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM. Hey, it is so good to be here! Go ahead ask me how I am. If you have to ask in Spanish, it’s, “Como estas?” I’m glad you asked! I couldn’t be better, and it has nothing to do with yesterday’s “official announcement.” You did hear that now, the United States is “officially in RECESSION!” DUH! Talk about yesterday’s news! Depending on your perspective that Recession just may be a Depression! Back to my personal definitions, A Recession is when there is an economic crisis that involves somebody else’s job or livelihood! It a DEPRESSION when it’s your job! So why make this “official” announcement? It’s like having big ugly wart on the end of your nose. You know it’s there. You can’t miss it, and then someone gets up on Sunday morning and makes a public announcement, “Folks, I want to make this “official announcement,” Dan Hocker has a big ugly wart on the end of his nose! Somebody please tell me, what good it accomplishes? In the case of the ugly wart, this person now has way too much attention called to the ugliness! They probably won’t be back to church until the wart is removed and the wound is healed from the removal, if they ever come back at all. Oh, and the result of this brilliant announcement about the “official recession?” was that the Stock Market fell again!
Well in spite of all this wonderful news, I couldn’t be better. We had a better month in November at Bates Furniture Company, where I work, not a great month, but better than October. At Bates Furniture we are trying to help the folks this year during the Christmas Crunch! That’s not a new cereal either. I’m talking about the pressure folks are feeling from the economic crisis we are in. We have some GREAT sales going on right now! We have three living room suites on the floor right now for under $800.00 and package deals including Sofa, Loveseat, Tables, and lamps, starting at just $1300.00! We have specials all over the store. It’s also a great time to take advantage of our 90 day interest free plan! With Income tax returns just around the corner, you can get your furniture today, with a minimum payment plan, and pay off the balance with your income tax return in March, INTEREST FREE! Hey, why not stop in to Bates Furniture during the Christmas Season, where we still say, Merry Christmas!
Well, we’ve put up our Christmas Tree, and strung the lights. And to help put you in get in the Christmas Spirit, here’s an upbeat arrangement of a traditional Christmas Carole, Joy to the World, sung by Whitney Houston and the Georgia Mass Choir.
I hope you remembered to Vote in the runoff election yesterday. It was a big day here in Georgia. The eyes of the nation were watching the Peach State as we returned to the polls in the runoff for the Senate seat of Saxby Chambliss. Do you know why this was such an important race? If the Democrats could have defeated Chambliss they woud have possibly had a filibuster proof Senate. It takes 60 votes to stop a filibuster. With the Chambliss victory they will have only 58 of the 60 votes they wanted. That means they will have to to work with Republicans to stop a filibuster.
In the Judicial race for the Georgia Court of Appeals, Mike Sheffield, who had the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life, lost to Sara Doyle. This was a blow to conservative values.
The other two races on the Whitfield County ballot were for the Public Service Commisioner and a local race for the Magistrate Court between attorney Sam Little and former Sherif’s Deputy, Chris Griffin. The incumbent Republican kept his seat on the Public Service Commision, and Chris Griffin won a seat on the Magistrate Court.

What’s more important than all of this news is the Good News! God is doing some great things right now, right here in Whitfield County, Georgia! This past Sunday was just awesome! Young people, I mean teenagers to young adults, are responding spontaneously to the Holy Spirit during the Praise and Worship Service at Christian Fellowship! This past Sunday Amber reported that God had answered prayer, healing a broken family relationship! Two young adults were filled with the Holy Spirit, like on the Day of Pentecost! And two others received Christ as Lord and Savior! It’s Wednesday and I’m still walking on air! If you don’t have a church home, then why not come and visit with us at Christian Fellowship one block off Hwy 41 on 201 at the corner of Church and Cemetery Street. Come and experience the Revival God is giving us right now!
Hey whatever it is you need today, Here’s a song by Darlene Zschech, All the Power You Need, from the Integrity Music Album, Shout to the Lord.

This is Dan Hocker, and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430 AM Tu Estacion, Diferente! That was Darlene Zschech, singing All the Power You Need.
Last week on the Lion’s Den we were talking about the Major Media Blackout about Obamagate! Haven’t heard the expression? Well I’m not surprised, and you shouldn’t be either, but 124,000 folks have sent emails and letters to congress asking them to take action! In case you missed last week, or are just tuning in, Obamagate refers to the five cases that have reached the Supreme Court already, challenging Barak Obama’s eligibility to serve as President based on the Constitutional Requirement that the President must be a natural born citizen of the United States. There are some serious questions about his eligibility that he has not answered, including the fact that neither he nor the DNC have answered the Supreme Court’s request for a response to the Berg Case. Remember that Berg’s case was thrown out of a lower court not because of his evidence but because the Judge in Pennsylvania said he lacked standing. Berg appealed to the Supreme Court, but there he is not alone, with five cases already there, and cases from 15 more states moving toward the Supreme Court! Hey this isn’t just going away. The people want answers. In fact the “We the People Foundation” has placed a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune, and open letter to Barak Obama. Before I read to you let me remind you that you are listening to the Lion’s Den, and you can participate, Call us at 706-279-1430. That’s 706-279-1430.
Here’s what they put in the Chicago Tribune, and I believe they also ran it in New York too!

Dear Mr. Obama,

Representing thousands of responsible American citizens who have also taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic, I am duty bound to call on you to remedy an apparent violation of the Constitution.
Compelling evidence supports the claim that you are barred from holding the Office of President by the “natural born citizen” clause of the U.S. Constitution. For instance:
• Your father was a Kenyan citizen at the time of your birth and your mother was 18.

• Legal affidavits state you were born in Kenya.

• Your grandmother is recorded on tape saying she attended your birth in Kenya.

• Hawaii Dept of Health will not confirm your assertion that you were born in Hawaii.

• You have posted an unsigned, computer-generated birth form that was created in 2007, a form that lacks vital information found on an original, hand signed Certificate of Live Birth, such as hospital address, signature of attending physician and age of mother.

• U.S. Law in 1961 denied U.S. citizenship to any child born in Kenya if the father was Kenyan and the mother was not yet 19 years of age.

• In 1965, your mother legally relinquished whatever Kenyan or U.S. citizenship she and you had by marrying an Indonesian and becoming a naturalized Indonesian citizen.
You have repeatedly refused to provide evidence of your eligibility when challenged to do so in a number of recent lawsuits. Instead, you have been successful in having judges declare that they are powerless to order you to prove your eligibility to assume the Office of President.
For instance, the judge in Pennsylvania ruled the challenger had no standing to question your eligibility because his harm would be no different from the harm to be suffered by all other American citizens if you, as an ineligible person were to assume the Presidency. The judge in Hawaii actually said it would be an invasion of your privacy for him to order access to your original birth certificate in order to prove your eligibility to hold the Office of President.
Before you can legitimately exercise any of the powers of the President you must meet all the criteria for eligibility established by the Constitution. You are under a moral, legal, and fiduciary duty to proffer such evidence. Should you assume the office as anyone but a bona fide natural born citizen of the United States who has
not relinquished that citizenship, you would be inviting a national crisis that would undermine the domestic peace and stability of the Nation. For example:
• You would always be viewed by many Americans as a poseur - a usurper.

• As a usurper, you would be unable to take the required “Oath or Affirmation” on January 20 without committing the crime of perjury or false swearing, for being ineligible you cannot faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States.

• You would be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from the People.

• The armed forces would be under no legal obligation to remain obedient to you.

• No civilian in the Executive Branch would be required to obey any of your proclamations, executive orders or directives, as such orders would be legally void.

• Your appointments of Ambassadors and Judges to the Supreme Court would be void no matter what subsequent actions the Senate might take.

• Congress would not be able to pass new laws because it would not be able to acquire the signature of a bona fide President.

• As a usurper, Congress would be unable to remove you from the Office of the President on Impeachment, inviting certain political chaos including a potential for armed conflicts within the General Government or among the States and the People to effect the removal of such a usurper.
In consideration of the escalating constitutional crisis brought on by the total lack of evidence needed to conclusively establish your eligibility, I am compelled to lodge a First Amendment Petition for a Redress of this constitutional tort.
With all due respect, I ask that you immediately direct the appropriate Hawaiian officials to allow access to the vault copy of your birth certificate by our forensic scientists on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 5, 6 and 7, 2008.
In addition, I ask that you to arrange to have the following documentary evidence delivered to the National Press Club by 10 am on December 8, 2008.
• a certified copy of your “vault” (original long version) birth certificate.

• certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham.

• a certified copy of your Certification of Citizenship.

• a certified copy of your Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity.

• certified copies of your admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School.

• certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing your name from Barry Soetoro.
“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this urgent matter.
Sincerely,

Robert L. Schulz

Chairman

Do you find it amazing that we aren’t hearing anything about this in the major media? If you want to read this letter for yourself you can see it on their website at http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/UPDATE/misc2008/Obama-USA-TODAY-ad.htm There will of course be a link on my blog at http://thelionsden1430.blogspot.com . Again you’re welcome to comment here at 706-279-1430. That’s 706-279-1430. Remember you can email me at thelionsden1430@live.com or lafosadeleones@live.com and check out the Lion’s Den Blog on Blogger. I would love to hear from you.
One thing is for sure, whatever comes of these issues and questions about the presidency, Jesus Christ is still the Lord of Glory and Worthy of our Praise, and this next song by Hillsong, says, Let Everything that has Breath Praise the Lord, from their Album, You Are My World.

That was Hillsong, and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM Tu Estacion, Diferente. This Dan Hocker, reminding you that you can call in anytime with your comments, at 706-279-1430.
Hey, you could get the idea that things are mess in the world, in this country. There are certainly a lot of problems. Maybe your life is a mess, and you don’t know what to do about it. Perhaps you’re thinking, “Hey, Pastor Dan, you don’t know what I’m going through.” Know what? You’re right. I don’t but God does, and I’m here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing too big for Him to handle. He’s God, and He cares about you! As we wrap up today, I want to pray with you, because I really do believe that God both can and will answer our prayers. Let me close with the profound truth of this simple song we learned as children, Jesus Loves Me, from the the Integrity Music Album, No Higher Calling!
