• "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." (John 8:32)
• "For you were once in darkness, but now you are the light of the Lord.

• "[Libertarians] advocate the repeal of all laws prohibiting the production, sale, possession, or use of drugs (nicotine, alcohol, hallucinogens, narcotics...."
• "[Libertarians] advocate the repeal of all laws regarding consensual sex, including prostitution, strip club lap dancing and massage, and homosexual relations."
• "[Libertarians] support a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy up to the 20th week...."
  Note: on 10/27/2004, Art stated that he disagrees with his own party on this abortion issue. Art, himself, is pro-life; however, he will neither legislate, nor would he defend the right to life in the capacity of a federal congressman.

Note: Although Art's Libertarian views may be shocking to you at first, please understand that, although he does not believe that morality should be legislated, he himself is a born again Christian who lives according to Jesus Christ.

From "Libertarian candidate Farnsworth says no to taxes"
By BRIAN CALLAWAY
Bucks County Courier Times

"Arthur Farnsworth jokes that he'd bet $1,000 against his chances at winning a seat in Congress come Nov. 2. "

Dear Friend of Truth,
You may be wondering what information I will provide you regarding Fitzpatrick's stand on the issues. Since voter guides have not yet been published for the November, 2004 election, I will provide you with snips of news articles along with links to take you directly to the source, both on the World Wide Web and also in PDF format. Following each snip I will interject my thoughts on the news. I left the Republican Party for a reason. I pray that you will join me in Truth and Love for our nation.

On Abortion:

September 23, 2004
Fitzpatrick's stem cell research stance upsetting to some Bucks voters (PDF)
By Hal Marcovitz Of The Morning Call

"Last week, though, Commissioner Michael G. Fitzpatrick said he would be open to federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, a position anti-abortion leaders did not expect to hear from the Republican."

"Last week, Fitzpatrick and Greenwood patched up their differences. They appeared together at a news conference, where Greenwood endorsed Fitzpatrick. Greenwood said he backed Fitzpatrick because of the commissioner's support for open space preservation and commitment to public service, but Greenwood also made it clear that he would not have endorsed Fitzpatrick if the commissioner had not declared an open mind for embryonic stem cell research."

"In addition, Fitzpatrick said he would support international family planning programs...."

''I'm very shocked, quite frankly,'' said Joe Mortimer, president of Bucks County's Voices for the Unborn. ''We offered to throw our support behind him, but if that's what he stands for, we can't do that.''

Abortion splits candidates (PDF)

The Intelligencer

"When asked about it, Fitzpatrick is quick to play up his moderate credentials in various areas...."
[Erich - "I promote no moderate beliefs or plans, only constitutional ones."]

"He's also said that while abortion is getting a lot of attention now, voters in the 8th Congressional District - all of Bucks County and small sections of Montgomery County and Philadelphia - will be much more interested in issues like homeland security and the economy as the campaign progresses."
[Erich - "I disagree. I believe that the God-loving citizens of the 8th Congressional District put the defense of Life at the top of the priority list. For, if we were aborted or euthanatized, we would be murdered and buried right now."]

"Fitzpatrick... has declined to say whether he would allow the procedure in situations where the fetus was conceived through rape or incest."
[Erich - "I believe that, being created in the image of God, the worth of all human life is equal, and that legalized murder based on age discrimination or based on the sins of someone's father is an abomination."]

Greenwood reaffirms support of Fitzpatrick (PDF)
By PAUL RUPPEL
The Intelligencer

"While Fitzpatrick doesn't share Greenwood's pro-choice views on abortion (except in cases of incest, rape or when the mother's life is in danger).... "
[Erich - "Those of us who love God and know Truth know that the term 'pro-life' can not include the legalized execution of innocent pre-born people because of the crimes of their fathers.
Abortion has always been illegal in the United States, and most importantly, it is an abomination to Jesus Christ!
All children are given a purpose by God- see Psalm 139:13-16.
God commands that no one should be murdered for the sins of their father- see Deuteronomy 24:16! "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."
Those who condone such abominable acts shall be judged, not only on earth, but after death, by Jesus Christ.
An abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of the mother. See The American Life League for the facts!"]

"Fitzpatrick said he would consider extending federal funding on stem cell research and embryonic research on frozen embryos."

"I'm here to make it perfectly clear that I am 100 percent behind Mike Fitzpatrick," Greenwood said. "Mike has asked me to be his general campaign chairman. I have agreed to do that...."
[Erich - " Jim Greenwood was the author of the abominable 'Clone & Kill bill.' Mike Fitzpatrick clearly violates Psalm 1:1, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked ...." I rest my case."]

On Understanding the United States Constitution:

Fitzpatrick defends acceptance of money (PDF)
By BEN FINLEY
Bucks County Courier Times

"Fitzpatrick said abortion isn't a U.S. House of Representatives issue because they don't confirm Supreme Court justices, the Senate does, should the court reconsider Roe v. Wade."

[Erich - "Fitzpatrick's statement proves that I am the superior candidate in regards to understanding, defending, and properly using the United States Constitution. Citing Article 3, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, I will introduce a bill to remove the jurisdiction of the federal courts in matters of abortion, returning abortion law to the states where it belongs so that abortion will once again be illegal.

The U.S. House of Representatives can move to impeach pro-abortion federal judges on bad behavior, citing Article 3, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, for not obeying the preamble of the Constitution, which states, 'We the People of the United States, in Order to... secure the Blessings of Liberty to ...our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.'

On Land Tax and Government Land Condemnation (Eminent Domain):

August 15, 2004
In 8th, opening shots target taxes (PDF)
By BRIAN CALLAWAY
The Intelligencer

"'Our question for Fitzpatrick is why does he think that tax increases on a local level are a good thing, while tax decreases at the federal are good,' he said. 'That's inconsistent.'"

"The criticism was based on Fitzpatrick's approval of the county's 2004 budget, which included a 14.6 percent property tax increase."

"Fitzpatrick said the Schrader campaign's charges are absurd, stressing that the county's tax increase had nothing to do with the federal government...."

[Erich - "I disagree with Fitzpatrick. That which a person does and believes in one job carries over into the next (by their fruit you will recognize them). Actions define a person's beliefs. Property tax = communism; government ownership of your land. If you don't pay your property tax, what happens? An armed government representative or representatives will eventually visit your home and remove you and your loved ones using whatever force they deem necessary.

Our Founding Fathers fought and died for our private land rights:

President George Washington: "The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own...."

Samuel Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Massachusetts said, "Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; second, to liberty; third, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. Now what liberty can there be where property is taken away without consent?" (Nov 20, 1772)

Pope Leo XIII: Every man has by nature the right to possess property of his own. This is one of the chief points of distinction between man and the lower animals.

"The theory of the communists may be summed up in a single sentence – 'abolition of private property.'" Karl Marx, 1848, The Communist Manifesto

On The "Big Tent" Republican Philosophy:

August 12, 2004
Bucks GOP to pick congressional candidate (PDF)
Fitzpatrick expected to be tapped, then face Dem Schrader.
By Hal Marcovitz
Of The Morning Call

[Erich - "As you will see below, I believe that we must not just listen for the 'pro-life' self-proclamation of a person, but carefully observe everything that a person says and does. Does a person's words and actions in endorsing and supporting pro-abortion legislators define a person and the political party that endorses this person election after election? Take a deep breath and pray for patience and understanding. What you read next may shake you."]

"[State Rep. Paul I.] Clymer said too much has been made of the abortion rights issue. Clymer, who is anti-abortion, said he has consistently supported both Conti and Greenwood over the years even though he has disagreed with their positions on abortion.

Clymer said, 'It's an issue with me, but it hasn't interfered with me supporting the people I want to support.'"

 [Erich - "I strongly disagree with Republican Representative Paul I. Clymer. Nothing is more important than the issue of the Right to Life. Nothing. As your Federal Representative, I would only support those who hold the Right to Life as their most crucial priority."]

On Actions Defining a Political Party ("By their fruit you will recognize them."):

Pro-Life Senate Candidate Narrowly Defeated in Pennsylvania (PDF)
By Bill Fancher and Jody Brown
April 29, 2004

[Erich - "Trust in a political party and people is built and broken over the actions of the party and the people. The Truth often hurts, but it also turns us into the right direction. Can we really trust the Republican Party with the Right to Life? The Truth speaks for itself, as you will see below."]

"(AgapePress) - Conservatives are expressing disappointment with the results of Tuesday's Republican primary in Pennsylvania. Despite his liberal voting record, Senator Arlen Specter beat out challenger Pat Toomey, who had the support of many pro-family people."

"On Wednesday morning, Specter thanked Bush and Santorum for their 'unwavering support' and for 'solidly being in my corner.' Then he went back to his standard mantra of trimming tax cuts, resisting school vouchers, and continuing embryonic stem-cell research -- all of which are in direct opposition to the White House."

"Toomey was not without his own high-profile conservative supporters. Foremost among them was well-known Christian author and commentator Dr. James Dobson...."

[Erich - "When you see Rick Santorum and George Bush against Dr. James Dobson, isn't that enough? If you are a defender of Truth, I know that you will, as Dr. Laura says, 'just do the right thing.' The Truth will set us free to see clearly and do the right thing. I and my Constitution Party colleagues offer you Truth and Justice; the choice is up to you, my friend. May God guide our thoughts and actions for His glory."]

Conti Votes Himself $20,000 Salary Increase!

Pennsylvania State Senator Joe Conti and other lawmakers, identified below, voted themselves raises from $10,000 to almost $40,000, intentionally violating the clearly-written intent of Article 3, Section 27 of our Pennsylvania Constitution that states, "No law shall extend the term of any public officer, or increase or diminish his salary or emoluments, after his election or appointment."

Bucks County Courier Times Article: "Pay Hikes Raise Complaints" (PDF)

Bucks County Intelligencer Article: "Conti Will Accept Pay Increase" (PDF)
"Conti said he would accept a raise of what amounts to $20,000 a year, made possible by his role as a majority chair of Senate Game and Fisheries Committee."

I implore you to help me eradicate this tyrannical disease within our politic by offering your prayers and volunteering as I prayerfully work to run for Pennsylvania State Senate in 2006.

Conti Receives LOWEST Liberty Index Score!

Commonwealth Foundation
Liberty: The Highest Political End (PDF)
by Matthew Brouillette, President

Recently, the Commonwealth Foundation completed a first-of-its-kind analysis of every single bill that became an Act during the 2003-2004 legislative session to date. We evaluated every new law by answering a very simple question, "Does this Act expand or contract the Liberty of the people of Pennsylvania?"

Interestingly, the highest and lowest Liberty Grades were earned by Republicans. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (12th District--Butler) scored the highest A (53.77567), while Sen. Joe Conti (10th District--Bucks) scored the lowest F- (17.28487).

Solution? Sadly, the Constitution Party is not a solution any more. For the 2006 election, vote according to your soul/conscience. It is better to vote for a write-in candidate of your choice than to vote for pro-abortion Democrat Chris Serpico.
