All Pastors, preachers and patriots are being called to come to Morehead, KY next Friday, Sept. 11, at 9 am to stand with Kim Davis who is being held in the Rowan, County Jail for contempt of court because she refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples.According to Newsmax, Davis stopped issuing licenses to all couples in June after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized “gay” marriage. Despite rulings against her, she’s turned away couples again and again, citing her Christian beliefs and “God’s authority.” This week the U.S. Supreme Court declined to grant Davis a stay on a federal judge’s injunction that would force her to issue marriage licenses to all comers.
As the old saying goes, “Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country.” Can we not change “our country”, that to, “Our God.” It is time for men who say that they love God and country to be counted at this crucial time of history.
More details will follow. This “First call” has been issued from Pastor Ernie Sanders from Cleveland, Ohio, a native Kentuckian. ______________________________________________________
Kentucky Gay "Marriage" Row:
Rally For Jailed Clerk Kim Davis
Published on Sep 6, 2015
Hundreds have gathered in support of a county clerk in the US state of Kentucky who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licences to gay couples.Kim Davis, an elected official in Rowan County, has said the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the issue conflicts with her Christian beliefs.Some of her deputies began processing the licences on Friday, providing one to a gay couple previously denied one.However, there is disagreement over whether the licences are valid.Normally they require the signature of the elected clerk, in this case Davis.On Thursday, Davis denied herself the opportunity to be released from jail after refusing a judge's request to allow her clerks to issue licences. US District Judge David Bunning said she could remain in prison for up to a week.On Saturday Davis's husband Joe addressed the crowd outside the Carter County Detention Center."She won't bow, I promise you," Mr Davis told the crowd, the local Courier-Journal newspaper reported."I'm just an old, dumb, country hillbilly, but I know God," he added.One of the other speakers, evangelical preacher Randy Smith, addressed the crowd saying: "Father we know what your word says. That homosexuality is an abomination," according to NPR.The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the argument that Davis's faith prevented her from carrying out her duty.She can only be removed from her position if the Kentucky legislature impeaches her, because she is an elected official.
Various 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls, like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, have supported Ms Davis' decision.
Mr Huckabee has said he plans to meet Davis and stage his own support rally.
Others like Carly Fiorina, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said she must comply with the law.

Judge Vance Day of Marion County, Oregon, is being investigated by a judicial fitness commission in part over his refusal to perform same-sex marriages on religious grounds, a spokesman for the judge said.
When a federal court ruling in May 2014 made same-sex marriage legal in Oregon, Day instructed his staff to refer same-sex couples looking to marry to other judges, spokesman Patrick Korten said Friday.
Last fall, he decided to stop performing weddings altogether, aside from one in March that had long been scheduled, Korten said.
“He made a decision nearly a year ago to stop doing weddings altogether, and the principal factor that he weighed was the pressure that one would face to perform a same-sex wedding, which he had a conflict with his religious beliefs,” Korten said.
In an email, Day declined to comment and referred questions to Korten.
The issue of same-sex weddings is “the weightiest” of several allegations against Day that are being investigated by the Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability, Korten said.
He declined to detail any of the allegations, saying he didn’t want to defy the commission, which considers complaints confidential until it is ready to make them public.
The investigation of Day’s conduct comes amid heightened national attention to the responsibilities of public officials who oppose same-sex marriage. Kim Davis, a county clerk in Kentucky, went to jail Thursday because of her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Last month, the Ohio Supreme Court’s Board of Professional Conduct said judges can’t refuse to marry same-sex couples on personal, moral or religious grounds.
Judges who stop performing all marriages to avoid marrying same-sex couples may be interpreted as biased and could be disqualified from any case where sexual orientation is an issue, the Ohio board ruled.
The investigation of Day came to light Thursday when the Oregon Government Ethics Commission — a separate entity from the judicial fitness commission — approved the judge’s request to create a legal defense fund to pay his lawyers.
Day, a former chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, was appointed to the bench in 2011 by then-Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat.
Day’s move concerned Jeana Frazzini, co-director of the gay-rights group Basic Rights Oregon.
“Taking that kind of a step really calls into question how an LGBTQ person could expect to be treated in a court of law,” Frazzini said. “It goes beyond marriage and gets to serious questions about judicial integrity.” ________________________________________________________________

Grayson, Kentucky Rally In Support of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis
Published on Sep 5, 2015
A rally was held outside of Carter County Detention Center today to show support for Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis Sept. 5th, 2015, in Grayson, Ky. A crowd of nearly 300 gave praise and support for Davis.
A Christian and an attorney, Michael Anthony Peroutka is co-founder of Institute on the Constitution (IOTC), headquartered in Pasadena, Maryland. He is a graduate of Loyola College (now University) in Maryland and the University of Baltimore School of Law.
Discovering that the teaching of law in America had been perverted away from its original design, Michael determined to investigate America’s founding and the roots of our law, in English Common Law and the Bible. This led to the founding of Institute on the Constitution, which is an independent educational outreach in Pasadena, Maryland. IOTC presents the real view—the founders’ view—which is the American view of law and government.
The Constitution Party’s candidate for President in 2004, Michael had a platform which sought to honor God, protect the family, and restore the Republic. The platform came to be known as “The American View of Law and Government,” and inspired the name of his website, TheAmericanView.com. IOTC teaches that American view:
There is a God, the God of the Bible.
Our rights come from Him.
The purpose of civil government is to secure our God-given rights.
Michael and Senior Instructor, Pastor David Whitney, travel around the country, graduating classes from IOTC’s course on the United States Constitution, in addition to teaching classes in IOTC’s Pasadena, Maryland classroom. Under their instruction, those who take the course become very familiar with the words, meaning and purpose of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Biblical principles on which those founding documents are based. IOTC teaches the only known course on the Maryland Constitution, and a course on the lawful duty and role of the Jury.

RALLY SPEAKERS
Free Kim Davis, Fire Shepard Smith
Published on Sep 4, 2015
This special edition of America’s Survival TV is the result of the unprecedented persecution of Rowan County, Kentucky, Clerk Kim Davis, a Christian who was taken into custody by federal Marshalls on the order of a federal judge, and then put in jail until she agrees to issue licenses for same-sex marriage bearing her name. Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, who has attacked Davis on the air, has regularly spouted pro-homosexual views on the air, such as when he denounced Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day as the “National Day of Intolerance.” The outburst was triggered by a Chick-fil-A executive speaking out against gay marriage. Smith is said to be dating a young Fox News male staffer.
