PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Erich Lukas, United States House of
Representatives Candidate for the Eighth District, released the following
statement upon the start of his official campaign:
"If I am elected to the United States House of Representatives for the
Eighth Congressional District, I give you my word, on my honor, that I will
enforce the law of our U.S. Constitution that 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." Our "Posterity" are pre-born children as well as children who
are not to be born for hundreds of years. Abortion has always been illegal,
and I will do my best, by the grace of God, to repeal every unconstitutional
abortion law and impeach every pro-abortion federal judge for condoning that
most abominable act. Jesus loves the little pre-born children, regardless of
the sins of their fathers (rape and incest), and I implore you to elect me
and/or support me so that our nation has not a millstone tied around its
neck, but, once again, the blessing of our Lord and Creator. When so-called
"pro-life" Rick Santorum and George Bush endorse "pro-abortion" Arlen
Specter over Pat Toomey, it's time to wake up and, as Dr. Laura says, do the
right thing! Please visit my website at www.ErichLukas.com and remember that
when the righteous rule, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the
people groan. Help us to rejoice!"

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Erich Lukas, United States House of Representatives Candidate for the Eighth District, released the following statement in response to the Department of Homeland Security's latest terrorism alert:
"The police, by law, which has been upheld in many court cases, are not responsible for the protection of individual citizens; they are ordered to uphold the law, which means that they can only act AFTER the crime or terrorism has been committed, making you the only person responsible for the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and your home. If I am elected to the United States House of Representatives for the Eighth Congressional District, I give you my word, on my honor, that I will co-sponsor H.R. 648, the Citizens’ Self Defense Act, which guarantees you the right to defend yourself, your loved ones, and your home, by obtaining the firearm of your choice. God Himself said, 'Let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one,' mandating the necessity of self-defense. I beseech you to visit my website at www.ErichLukas.com to learn how we, together, can make our nation, once again, a place of peace and prosperity under the blessing of God."

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Erich Lukas, United States House of Representatives Constitution Party Candidate for the Eighth District, released the following statement in response to the GOP's full platform committee who stated that Republicans "respect and accept" views of GOP party members who support gay or abortion rights:
"If I am elected to the United States House of Representatives for the Eighth Congressional District, I give you my word, on my honor, that I will introduce legislation, citing Article 3, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, to not only remove the jurisdiction of the federal courts in matters of matrimony, but also to remove the jurisdiction of the federal courts to rule on any state's failure to accord full faith and credit to same-sex unions. Marriage and family law must be returned to the states, to the people, to the many - not to the few in black robes on the federal level, so that, as before, our God-loving citizens can legislate the Biblical law of marriage, which is the foundation of Western moral civilization. I beseech you to visit my website at www.ErichLukas.com to listen to my Biblical marriage law solution and to learn how we, together, can make our nation, once again, a place of peace and prosperity under the blessing of God."

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Upon receiving feedback that he should terminate his Bible scripture references from his campaign communications, Erich Lukas, U.S. House of Representatives Candidate for District 8, released the following statement:
"When I signed on for the United States House of Representatives District 8 Congressional Race, I did so with the full intention on running following the truths of Operation Rescue Founder Randall Terry's 'Taking Back the Gates' seminar, where he shows how the Bible instructs us not to remove references to God's Living Holy Scripture in order to 'stay under the radar' just to 'get a seat at the table' in government, but to boldly proclaim my faith in Jesus Christ, the one true God, and in His inerrant Holy Scripture in order to receive His blessing, not only to ensure that my campaign and its result is a true reflection of His Divine Will, but, if elected, to then enable the citizens who elect me to receive His Holy blessing of protection and prosperity according to His Will. I quote Holy Scripture, not to 'force my faith on our citizens,' but to show you the foundation of my unquenchable desire to serve you by upholding and defending the United States Constitution and our God-given rights. It is through my fear and love of God that I pray to receive the wisdom from Him to lead us back to peace and prosperity. I implore you to visit my website at www.ErichLukas.com to learn my platform and goals for our nation and to send me you comments and questions."

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Upon receiving news that Republican opponent Mike Fitzpatrick is pro-abortion, Erich Lukas, U.S. House of Representatives Candidate for District 8, released the following statement:
"The citizens of Pennsylvania 8th U.S. Congressional District have been led astray to believe that Republican Mike Fitzpatrick is pro-life, when he is actually pro-abortion according to the September 23, 2004 edition of the Allentown, PA Morning Call newspaper, leaving me, to the best of my knowledge, as the only pro-life candidate in the 8th District race for United States House of Representatives."
"The Morning Call reported that pro-abortion Clone and Kill bill author Rep. Jim Greenwood said that '[Greenwood] made it clear that he would not have endorsed Fitzpatrick if the commissioner had not declared an open mind for embryonic stem cell research.'"
"The Morning Call continued to report, 'Fitzpatrick said he would support international family planning programs' and that 'Fitzpatrick said he would not oppose a woman's right to obtain an abortion in cases of rape, incest and a danger to the life of the mother.'"
"Abortion has always been illegal in the U.S.A., as clearly written in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution: '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.'"
"All children are given a purpose by God (Psalm 139:13-16), and God commands that no one should be murdered for the sins of their father (Deuteronomy 24:16)."
"As the only candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania U.S. District 8 endorsed by the 100% Pro-Life PAC (www.prolifepac.com), I pledge to the citizens of District 8 that I will do everything within my power, by the grace of Jesus Christ, to protect and defend the God-ordained right to life for all pre-born people if the 8th District citizens elect me as their representative to the United States House of Representatives."

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Upon
receiving news that the Republicans and
Democrats of the U.S. House of Representatives
voted to urge a conference
committee to add "sexual orientation" to federal hate crimes law, Erich
Lukas, U.S. House of Representatives Constitution Party Candidate for
District 8, released the following statement:
"It is an abomination that U.S. House Republicans and Democrats voted to
give unconstitutional legal privileges (violation of the
14th
Amendment) to those who choose to live a homosexual lifestyle that,
according to
The Family
Research Institute and medical science, is the foremost contributor to
AIDS, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, and enteric parasites
collectively known as the Gay Bowel Syndrome in the U.S.A."
"Nowhere in the
U.S.
Constitution is the legislature given authority to create such 'hate
crime' legislation."
"The Founding Fathers of the United States wanted the various state
governments to reflect the widely diverse views of their citizens regarding
most crime (capital punishment, domestic crime), environment, labor,
family/marriage, and other such issues, which is the foundation for the
10th
Amendment that protects state jurisdiction over such matters."
"Federalizing state-protected law creates a single little switch at the top
of the U.S. pyramid of law that can be flicked toward evil, all at once, and
affect all 50 states; something that we must fight against with all of our
might."
"Hate crime law terminates freedom of speech, which is well-known by a
Christian pastor in Sweden who, earlier this year, was arrested at his
church after he began reading Bible verses condemning homosexuality, which
violated a very similar hate crime law (reported by
WorldNetDaily.com 10/6/2004)."
"If I am elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for District 8, I
pledge on my honor to do my best to restore our nation to Constitutional
government by first, enforcing the 10th Amendment among the three branches
of federal government, second, leading the way to impeachment and
jurisdiction removal of activist judges by exercising Article 3, Sections 1
and 2 of the
U.S. Constitution, and most importantly, by prayer and fasting to Jesus
Christ for His blessing on my service to our country, for "when the
righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people
groan" (Proverbs
29:2)."

Eleven Innocent Christians Arrested in Philadelphia on Hate Crime charge! Click Here!
Erich's reply to innocent Christians arrested:
According to WorldNetDaily.com on October 15, 2004, eleven Christians who were preaching the Gospel to a crowd of people attending the outdoor Philadelphia homosexual OutFest event were arrested and hauled off to jail on Sunday October 10, 2004, even though they obeyed all city laws, ordinances, and lawful requests by the Philadelphia police officers at hand.
The “ethnic intimidation” charge brought against the Christians was made possible by Pennsylvania’s Ethnic Intimidation and Institutional Vandalism Act, Pennsylvania’s “hate crimes” law, which contains the “victim” category of “sexual orientation,” which I fought against in Harrisburg along with Diane Gramley, President of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania; Fran Bevan, President of Eagle Forum of Pennsylvania; and others, as documented at www.ERICHLUKAS.com.
Although I clearly explained the unconstitutional language of the Pennsylvania Hate Crimes bill to Julia Morton, former Republican Governor Schweiker’s Senior Policy Manager and to David Kerr, Schweiker’s Director of the Governor’s Policy Office, Republican Governor Mark Schweiker signed the abominable Pennsylvania Hate Crimes bill into law on December 3, 2002, which is now being used as cause to jail Christians for sharing the Gospel in Philadelphia!
The best way for you to do your part in defending your right to freedom of faith, speech, and assembly in the United States of America is to help elect me as Congressman to the United States House of Representatives for U.S. District 8. I implore you to read the 40 solutions to our nation’s challenges on my Constitution Party platform at www.ERICHLUKAS.com and vote for me on November 2!

PERKASIE, PENNSYLVANIA - Following the 2004 General Election, Erich
Lukas, U.S. House of Representatives Constitution Party Candidate for
District 8, released the following statement:
"My thoughts and feelings over the result of the 2004 General Election fill me with both mourning and joy. I mourn over the lives of future murdered pre-born children resulting from newly-elected Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick's promised voting behavior as documented on my www.ERICHLUKAS.com website. I am joyful over the fact that, with the help of God, my original goal to oust 'Clone and Kill' bill author Congressman Jim Greenwood from office was fulfilled. Several months after my intended candidacy announcement, and a couple of months after my official candidacy announcement, Greenwood quit, even though he chose to run in the Primary Election and won. My volunteers and supporters know that, before I accepted the offer to run against Greenwood, my plan was to oust vehemently pro-abortion Pennsylvania State Senator Joe Conti in 2006, which is now still in effect. Knowing that, according to the Bucks County Board of Elections, for my very first political race, I received votes from 46 out of Bucks County's 49 townships/boroughs as well as from both Montgomery and Philadelphia County, I recommend that Joe Conti follow in Jim Greenwood's footsteps and quit now before he faces my 100% Pro-Life campaign in 2006. As for Mike Fitzpatrick, I will pray for him, that my message of Truth from God and the U.S. Constitution will sound forever in his soul, and that he will obey that Law in his new position as our U.S. Congressman. I want to thank my campaign volunteers, voters, and supporters for a great campaign of Truth and Love."
