There is no need for you to be an Abstinence Education provider....only a concerned citizen. Can we count on you to help? We need to turn 3 Democrat votes in order to win.

What you can say to Senator Bingaman's Office
"I am calling to urge Senator Bingaman to stand with youth in our state by voting "yes" on Senator Hatch's amendment to continue Title V abstinence education funding to states. This amendment will be offered as a part of the Senate health care reform bill. Abstinence alleviates millions of dollars in health care costs related to teen sexual activity. Can we count on Senator Bingaman's support of the Hatch Abstinence Education amendment? Thank you."
Please make a personal call to your friends and colleagues asking them to immediately call Senator Bingaman as well, or email this message.
If you need additional background information, please read on...Otherwise, please call NOW!
Senator Hatch (R-UT) has introduced an amendment into the Senate health care reform bill to reinstate Title V Abstinence Education funding for FY2010. This amendment will be offered this week in the Senate Finance Committee. (The vote could be as early as tomorrow.)
Title V state block grants for abstinence education expired June 30, 2009. Since then, 2 actions in the House have been taken related to this funding:
1. Rep. Lee Terry introduced an amendment in the House to reinstate Title V Abstinence Education Funding. It failed by only 3 votes in anti-abstinence Waxman's Energy & Commerce Committee earlier this year.
2. An amendment was successfully inserted in the House health care reform bill to transfer former Title V funds to "comprehensive" sex education block grants to states.
Recent research analysis demonstrates that school based abstinence education is more successful in positive behavior change than so-called "comprehensive" sex education.

NM NEWS & VIEWS FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009
THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN!
We strive very hard to bring you The Truth here every day at KKIM on NM News & Views and if you've been listen in the Albuquerque area on AM 1000, FM 94.7 out of Santa Fe or anywhere around the world through our streaming audio on the internet at http://mykkim.com , you have heard us talking MUCH about The Word of God lately, so I have chosen to put the following story up first, because The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight and that's The Good News of the day! How is it that nobody else anywhere has covered this report?
WND Exclusive TESTING THE FAITH
60,000 pray in Times Square!
But media fail to notice this most unusual event:
NEW YORK – You can see most anything at Times Square in Manhattan.
But 60,000 people praying? That's an unusual sight in the heart of Broadway.
Yet, that's just what happened there yesterday for one hour – from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in a Christian rally called Prayer in the Square.
Event organizers from Time Square Church had expected some 15,000. But their expectations were far exceeded at the third event of its kind in the last three years.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who helped the church cut through the red tape necessary to hold such an event, addressed the crowd.
"It's a little strange for me to be up here," he said. "I'm a Jew. But I just celebrated Rosh Hoshana, our new year. So I guess it's appropriate for me to wish you all a happy new year."
Despite the magnitude of the event, no major media covered it – even in the center of the media world on a slow news day.
More than 200 churches joined with the Times Square Church in promoting the rally to pray for the city and the nation.
A 180-voice choir sang worship songs and the entire event was simulcast on the News Astrovision screen at One Times Square and on several radio stations. Carter Conlon, pastor of the Times Square Church, said preceding the event that this Prayer in the Square might be the last.
"The Lord called us to host, fund and organize this event for the last three years," he said. "He told us that the first year would establish credibility with the city, and we have received positive feedback from various city agencies, including the office of the Mayor himself, commending us for honesty, order, and keeping our word. The second year confirmed to local churches that this was not the beginning of some new ministry but rather a gathering for the sole purpose of one hour of prayer, in humility, with all denominations represented and no personalities or ministry showcased. Those who have attended can attest to the fact that this has been so. Everything has unfolded exactly as the Lord impressed upon our hearts it would."
