— Article continues below Petition — State Governors: Don't cancel Thanksgiving while favoring Black Friday Show Petition Text 13488 have signed the petition. Let's get to 15000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In spite of COVID and the ongoing election disputes, Americans will gather on Thursday to give thanks for all that they have received, and to show gratitude to God and neighbor. In many places across the nation, however, state governors are "cracking down" on Thanksgiving by implementing additional, seemingly arbitrary limits on citizens' right to free assembly. At the same time, these same governors are allowing Black Friday shopping to go on practically unabated, without additional restrictions than those already in place for their states' COVID response. This kind of discrimination is wrong! Please SIGN this petition, asking state governors not to cancel Thanksgiving while favoring Black Friday. Here are a few examples: In Oregon, Democratic Governor Kate Brown issued an emergency order limiting the number of people who may gather in private homes, to six, on Thanksgiving Day. But, shopping on Black Friday will go on almost unaffected, as retails establishments may remain open at a capacity of 75%.
In New York, Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued a directive limiting the number of people who may gather in a private home to ten, while Black Friday sales continue.
And, in Maryland, Republican Governor Larry Hogan 'High Visibility Compliance Units' will be deployed around the state, including state troopers being sent to all counties to strengthen enforcement of COVID regulations. Meanwhile, retail establishments remain open at a capacity of 50%. While LifeSite believes in taking appropriate precautions for COVID especially for the elderly and those already suffering poor health, we also believe that individuals and families should be allowed to use their good sense and their own discretion rather than being coerced by the state in these matters. Moreover, states should not be in the business of discriminating against family gatherings, like Thanksgiving, in favor of commercial pursuits, like Black Friday. Please SIGN and SHARE this Thanksgiving Day petition, urging governors not to discriminate against family gatherings and impose greater, disproportionate COVID restrictions for Thanksgiving Day than they would for shopping on Black Friday.

The president addressed in his proclamation the many hardships for families in light of the pandemic, which has brought financial, mental health, emotional, and health troubles, and even death. He reminded the nation of the many ways his administration has sought to offset deprivations for families in 2020, including signing the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to provide over $2 trillion in economic relief to quickly help families, small businesses, and communities, and the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which provided timely and critical support for families by expanding paid family, medical, and sick leave.”
Trump reminded the country that he has “increased unemployment benefits, enhanced flexibility within unemployment insurance programs, suspended student loan payments, and removed the threat of foreclosures and evictions for families with Government guaranteed mortgages.”
The president acknowledged how some governor’s mandates imposed on citizens has caused a “struggle” as they “adjust to new and burdensome daily routines.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has introduced a bill which threatens to seize control of online media content in Canada, putting liberty and freedom at risk. But, the Trudeau Liberals have no right to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet! Please SIGN this petition which tells the Trudeau Liberals, as well as the opposition, to leave the internet as a free speech zone! Bill C-10 is causing alarm bells to sound with conservative and Christians, who are concerned that it is the first step towards the destruction of independent online media in Canada. The Bill would require more "diversity and inclusion" content, reflecting the experience of "Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages." And, Bill C-10 would also give power to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to "assign penalties for non-compliance." With this frightening new power, Bill C-10 is a real threat to the freedom of speech of conservatives and Christians in Canada who engage with the entire world about their issues on the internet. Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Canada-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms told LifeSite: "It is clear from recent statements by the PM and the Heritage Minister that the federal government wants to increase control and penalties for speech and content that is not approved of by the ideologues in the Liberal Party. Unsurprisingly, the purpose of Bill C-10 is not to increase freedom of ‘thought, belief, opinion, and expression’ (section 2(b) of the Charter) but to further restrict it.". Simply put: the chilling effect that this Bill could have on freedom of speech rights is incalculable. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which tells Trudeau Liberals to stop their attempt to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet. Tell them to scrap Bill C-10 and leave the internet as an independent forum where ideas, beliefs and other ventures can be discussed without government regulation or censorship. And, tell them that Canadian adults are mature enough to make up their own minds about sensitive topics without government interference. After you have signed the petition, please consider politely contacting the Minister for Canadian Heritage, the Shadow Minister for Industry and Economic Development, and the Prime Minister's office, to tell them about your dismay regarding Bill C-10.

BUDAPEST , Hungary , November 25 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) -- The European Court of Justice recently ruled that EU law was broken when most operations of the Central European University founded by George Soros were forced out of Hungary .
A 2017 Hungarian law , commonly called Lex-CEU , “ targeted the dual legal identity of CEU ” and “ demanded that foreign universities must have a ‘ parent ’ university in their country of origin , ” according to BBC News .
The university was registered in both New York State and Hungary .
After the law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decimated as CEU moved “ more than 90 % of it teaching to a brand new campus in Vienna at a cost of $ 238 million.
” Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban has long been an adversary of George Soros and has referred to him as a “ large-bodied predator … swimming in Hungarian waters.
” Over the years his government has taken numerous measures to counteract the influence of the more than 60 Hungarian NGOs funded by Soros ’ Open Society Foundations ( OSF ) .
Hungarian Minister of Justice Judit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ Hungary will implement the judgement … in line with the interests of Hungarians.
” Varga added that there was “ no need for mailbox ‘ universities ’ .
” Soros called the European Court ruling “ a victory for the fundamental values of the European Union.
” But the globalist billionaire has said that his university “ can not return to Hungary , because its prevailing laws don ’ t meet the requirements of academic freedom.
” Soros is a prolific financier of left-wing causes throughout the United States and around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , population control , same-sex “ marriage , ” transgenderism , and more .
His Open Society Foundations spend almost $ 1 billion annually in 100 different countries , including $ 150 million per year funding the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ) , the leading abortion company Planned Parenthood , and other liberal groups .
He invested $ 5.1 million in a super PAC dedicated to funding groups working against Trump ’ s re-election ; and is an aggressive supporter of the European Union who has spent money in hopes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nations .
In January , he announced the launch of an international network for educational institutions for the purpose of advancing his interpretation of “ democratic values ” and combating the rise of “ nationalism.
” Earlier this year , Soros indicated that the coronavirus crisis paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible , calling it “ the crisis of my lifetime.
” Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth .
Even before the pandemic hit , “ I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible , but probably absolutely necessary , ” he said .
In the same interview , Soros also voiced his concern “ about the survival of the ( European Union ) because it is an incomplete union.
” George Soros has been interfering in Hungary ’ s politics for years .
Now , they ’ re fed up .

Hungarian Minister of Justice Judit Varga responded to the ruling by insisting that 'Hungary will implement the judgement … in line with the interests of Hungarians.'

— Article continues below Petition — STATES: Stop election certification while fraud investigations continue Show Petition Text 30673 have signed the petition. Let's get to 35000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In a bombshell press conference, President Trump's legal team has revealed evidence of alleged massive voter fraud in several constituencies key to election victory in 2020. Appealing to every American, Rudy Giuliani, Team Trump's lead counsel, said: "Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots. Give us an opportunity to prove it in court, and we will." Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking state legislators, IN EVERY U.S. STATE, not to allow election certification of their state until all of the evidence has been ruled on and every legal challenge exhausted. This is not about President Trump or former Vice President Biden...at this stage, our republic and the integrity of our elections literally hang in the balance. The claims of voter fraud made by Team Trump were very alarming, but here are some of the worst: The lack of oversight and security of mail-in ballots;
Direction by some election officials to election workers to violate election statutes;

Soros called the European Court ruling “a victory for the fundamental values of the European Union.”
But the globalist billionaire has said that his university “cannot return to Hungary, because its prevailing laws don’t meet the requirements of academic freedom.”
Soros is a prolific financier of left-wing causes throughout the United States and around the world, including abortion, euthanasia, population control, same-sex “marriage,” transgenderism, and more.
His Open Society Foundations spend almost $1 billion annually in 100 different countries, including $150 million per year funding the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the leading abortion company Planned Parenthood, and other liberal groups. He invested $5.1 million in a super PAC dedicated to funding groups working against Trump’s re-election; and is an aggressive supporter of the European Union who has spent money in hopes of influencing the elections of multiple European nations.
In January, he announced the launch of an international network for educational institutions for the purpose of advancing his interpretation of “democratic values” and combating the rise of “nationalism.”
Earlier this year, Soros indicated that the coronavirus crisis paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible, calling it “the crisis of my lifetime.” Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth.
Even before the pandemic hit, “I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary,” he said.
In the same interview, Soros also voiced his concern “about the survival of the (European Union) because it is an incomplete union.”

November 25 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Former U.S. attorney Joe DiGenova said President Donald Trump ’ s legal team will point to statistical irregularities to prove election fraud in this year ’ s presidential race in court .
“ We have statisticians and mathematicians going over the returns that are in and now available .
What they are doing is they are going to show that the anomalies are so out of bounds that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DiGenova in an interview Thursday with Newsmax TV ’ s Grant Stinchfield .
“ And so therefore that is evidence in and of itself .
That statistical analysis , expert by expert witnesses , is admissible in court to prove that there was fraud , ” he continued .
Many reports of statistical abnormalities and even impossibilities have emerged in past weeks .
For example , The Red Elephants reported that recorded voter turnout in Wisconsin was statistically suspect .
“ The voter turnout in Wisconsin apparently annihilated the historical record ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ points .
“ Statistical analysts have noted that this 5-point deviation was not only a statistical improbability , but a virtual statistical impossibility.
” “ The odds of this occurring are 0.00000189 % or 1 in 52,910,052 , ” continued the report .
Steven Mosher recently cited the affidavit of election fraud expert Russel Ramsland , which testifies to “ a stunning 3,276 precincts where the presidential votes cast compared to the estimated voters ... ranges from 84 percent to 350 percent ... [ revealing ] 431,954 excess ballots ” in Michigan .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ physical impossibility.
” According to the Washington Post , the affidavit contains significant errors , stating for instance that in Wayne County , Michigan “ ‘ 25 of those 47 precincts/townships show 100 % turnout.
’ But it then lists 25 precincts from Minnesota .
“ The biggest alleged over-vote in Ramsland ’ s affidavit is from Benville Township — the place where actual voters were allegedly 350 percent of estimated voters , ” the newspaper explained .
“ According to the Minnesota Secretary of State ’ s election results , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But its data show there were precisely that many registered voters in the township at 7 a.m. on Election Day , and then eight more registered on Election Day ( Minnesota has same-day registration ) .
” Nick Chase has drawn attention to what he describes as “ prima facie evidence of fraud being committed.
” He pointed out that time-stamped Virginia vote counts taken from the New York Times reveal that vote totals actually decreased from 12:07 to 12:12 am .
“ In an honest election the vote totals never go backwards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes are continually being counted and added to the totals , ” Chase noted .
In the Newsmax interview , DiGenova mentioned that the “ ample evidence ” of fraud provided during Rudy Giuliani ’ s press conference included affidavits “ about what people saw by way of corruption , the voting and counting process in Michigan and in other states.
” “ On top of all of this , the training not to see defects and so forth , not one Republican could observe the vote process .

Many reports of statistical abnormalities and even impossibilities have emerged in past weeks. For example, The Red Elephants reported that recorded voter turnout in Wisconsin was statistically suspect.

“The odds of this occurring are 0.00000189% or 1 in 52,910,052,” continued the report.

November 25 , 2020 ( The Stream ) — Back in 2014 , I worked freelance for a public relations firm in New York City .
It was there that I met an unusual woman .
I didn ’ t know many lawyers or Texans , but I knew better than to chalk up her qualities to either her profession or her home .
It ’ s rare that I encounter someone who I ’ m afraid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sheer brain power and towering personal rectitude .
But this was such a person .
This woman had quite a career behind her .
An evangelical Christian , she ’ d been a federal prosecutor — and quit , outraged at the corruption she saw among her colleagues .
She did more than quit .
Horrified by prosecutors hiding exculpatory evidence and targeting the innocent because of their personal politics , she became a defense attorney , to help people fight the feds .
She Gave Up Everything to Expose Abusive Prosecutors But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a huge financial sacrifice , she took time off from her practice to write a book .
And self-publish it .
And hire a public relations firm to get it out to people , when media ignored it .
That book , Licensed to Lie , is absolutely chilling .
It shows innocent Americans , even a U.S .
Senator such as Ted Stevens of Alaska , unable to defend themselves against prosecutors with vendettas .
It recounts how innocent companies , like accounting firm Arthur Anderson , can be broken by biased @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in ruins .
A real-life legal horror story , the book was too disturbing for me to read it through to the end .
And its author was Sidney Powell , whom I used to go to lunch with in midtown Manhattan .
In retrospect , I feel privileged .
I knew she was a powerhouse , but I little suspected what an historic role she would someday play .
When I saw that she was representing General Mike Flynn , I knew one thing for sure — that he was innocent .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyers who works for people she thinks are guilty as sin .
She wouldn ’ t have gone on Fox News , and One America , and Newsmax , night after night and coolly laid out his defense in a tone of righteous outrage if this were just some client .
Because the abuse of power and perversion of law Sidney witnessed made her more than just some lawyer .
It made her a crusader .
It made her … Joan of Arc .
The Theft of Our Election So watching the press @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Sidney Powell was different for me than for most .
I don ’ t know Ms. Ellis or Mayor Giuliani , though I don ’ t suspect that they ’ re cynical , partisan hacks , as Ross Douthat suggests .
Keep in mind that a week before the 2016 election , Douthat tried to suppress the pro-life vote for Trump by comparing voting for Trump to shooting abortionists on the street .
That ’ s one way to keep a job at The New York Times , I suppose .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Courts Near You I don ’ t have any evidence that Democrats used software invented in Venezuela to help socialist dictator Hugo Chavez steal elections .
Or that the Soros-linked company Dominion was used by Democrats across multiple states to steal votes from Donald Trump to give to Joe Biden in the middle of the night , in just the strategic states where Trump was leading .
I don ’ t have that evidence , but the fact that Sidney Powell claims she does is enough to convince me .
This is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she could have earned in her profitable practice to write , print , and promote a book no publisher would touch .
Its charges were too explosive , I imagine .
Its targets , like Andrew Weissman ( the protege of FBI director Christopher Wray ) wield too much power .
Tellingly , none of the people Powell exposed in Licensed to Lie have dared to sue her for defamation or libel .
She put herself out there as a target for such a suit by writing the book—with no publishing house ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But no one did , I ’ m sure because her charges were absolutely truthful .
Non-partisan legal expert Jonathan Turley is one of the few reliable commentators left out there .
He observed after watching the press conference that Powell and the rest of the president ’ s team took a similar risk today .
They accused a massive corporation , Dominion , with links to friendly billionaires like Soros and many foreign governments , of felonies .
Of colluding with corrupt election officials to steal the White House .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are finished .
If defamation lawsuits get launched — and I don ’ t see how Dominion has any choice but to file them , or go bankrupt — Sidney Powell could lose her house and her license to practice law .
She ’ d be a pauper .
The same is true of Ellis , Giuliani , and anyone else on the president ’ s team .
But only if the charges are unsupported and untrue .
Given the death threats to election officials in Michigan , and the doxing of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrupt election , I ’ d say Ms. Powell is risking a lot more than money .
Ranged against her is a vast media machine determined to suppress the truth .
Billion-dollar networks that trumpeted the Russia collusion hoax and Brett Kavanaugh ’ s “ teenage rape gang , ” then pretended that Nick Sandmann was some kind of neo-Nazi .
The same networks squelched the solid evidence from the Hunter Biden laptop , abetted by social media monopolies that silence ordinary Americans .
And of course , she has a whole team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transition ” to an office it seems Joe Biden stole .
If they succeed , what do they have in store for her , using the power of the White House ?
Let ’ s remember that Kamala Harris ’ old office is still trying to imprison David Daleiden , for exposing her old campaign donor , Planned Parenthood , on charges she corruptly launched .
I also know what the Democrats have in mind for this country , and for President Trump ’ s loyal supporters : re-education , on the model @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sidney stood fearlessly on television , her voice quavering a little at the enormity of the evil she has helped to uncover .
Meanwhile the Vichy-conservatives over at National Review and other “ squish ” venues sniped at her , and at Rudolph Giuliani , who faced down the hitmen of the New York Mafia , then broke its back .
One called the Trump team “ unhinged , ” and sniffed at its lack of “ dignity.
” If you think your country ’ s elections are being stolen , and your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dignity , ” then I don ’ t want you next to me in a foxhole .
You ’ ll switch sides if the enemy offers a chocolate bar , and a chance to save your skin .
I want someone like Sidney Powell , a whistleblower and a Christian patriot .
I hope her evidence is watertight and bullet proof—and frankly , that for the next few weeks she has taken to wearing Kevlar .
That ’ s how much I trust the people who want to silence her .

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In a bombshell press conference, President Trump's legal team has revealed evidence of alleged massive voter fraud in several constituencies key to election victory in 2020. Appealing to every American, Rudy Giuliani, Team Trump's lead counsel, said: "Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots.

The claims of voter fraud made by Team Trump were very alarming, but here are some of the worst: The lack of oversight and security of mail-in ballots;
Direction by some election officials to election workers to violate election statutes;
The eviction of Republican observers who were kept away from inspecting ballots in some cities;
Instances of 'overvoting', where more ballots were cast in some precincts than registered voters;

She Gave Up Everything to Expose Abusive Prosecutors
But that wasn’t enough. At a huge financial sacrifice, she took time off from her practice to write a book. And self-publish it. And hire a public relations firm to get it out to people, when media ignored it. That book, Licensed to Lie, is absolutely chilling. It shows innocent Americans, even a U.S. Senator such as Ted Stevens of Alaska, unable to defend themselves against prosecutors with vendettas. It recounts how innocent companies, like accounting firm Arthur Anderson, can be broken by biased and dishonest federal prosecutors, and left in ruins. A real-life legal horror story, the book was too disturbing for me to read it through to the end.

I knew she was a powerhouse, but I little suspected what an historic role she would someday play. When I saw that she was representing General Mike Flynn, I knew one thing for sure — that he was innocent.
Sidney’s not one of those lawyers who works for people she thinks are guilty as sin. She wouldn’t have gone on Fox News, and One America, and Newsmax, night after night and coolly laid out his defense in a tone of righteous outrage if this were just some client. Because the abuse of power and perversion of law Sidney witnessed made her more than just some lawyer. It made her a crusader. It made her … Joan of Arc.
The Theft of Our Election
So watching the press conference with Jenna Ellis, Rudolph Giuliani, and Sidney Powell was different for me than for most. I don’t know Ms. Ellis or Mayor Giuliani, though I don’t suspect that they’re cynical, partisan hacks, as Ross Douthat suggests. Keep in mind that a week before the 2016 election, Douthat tried to suppress the pro-life vote for Trump by comparing voting for Trump to shooting abortionists on the street. That’s one way to keep a job at The New York Times, I suppose.
There is nothing insane or unhinged about advancing false or extremely-unlikely claims if you have the cynical political goal of securing your client’s hold over a national political party and improving his chances in 2024. — Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) November 19, 2020
The Evidence Is Coming, to Federal Courts Near You
I don’t have any evidence that Democrats used software invented in Venezuela to help socialist dictator Hugo Chavez steal elections. Or that the Soros-linked company Dominion was used by Democrats across multiple states to steal votes from Donald Trump to give to Joe Biden in the middle of the night, in just the strategic states where Trump was leading.
I don’t have that evidence, but the fact that Sidney Powell claims she does is enough to convince me. This is a woman who gave up years of income she could have earned in her profitable practice to write, print, and promote a book no publisher would touch. Its charges were too explosive, I imagine.
Its targets, like Andrew Weissman (the protege of FBI director Christopher Wray) wield too much power. Tellingly, none of the people Powell exposed in Licensed to Lie have dared to sue her for defamation or libel. She put herself out there as a target for such a suit by writing the book—with no publishing house’s attorneys on board to defend her. But no one did, I’m sure because her charges were absolutely truthful.
Risking Bankruptcy, Disbarment, and Worse
Non-partisan legal expert Jonathan Turley is one of the few reliable commentators left out there. He observed after watching the press conference that Powell and the rest of the president’s team took a similar risk today. They accused a massive corporation, Dominion, with links to friendly billionaires like Soros and many foreign governments, of felonies. Of colluding with corrupt election officials to steal the White House.
The press conference was an explosion of potential defamation claims by individuals or companies. The only clear defense is truth. The team insists that it can prove these allegations. It may have to do so. https://t.co/03PbArmqYb — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) November 19, 2020
If these charges are false, their careers are finished. If defamation lawsuits get launched — and I don’t see how Dominion has any choice but to file them, or go bankrupt — Sidney Powell could lose her house and her license to practice law. She’d be a pauper. The same is true of Ellis, Giuliani, and anyone else on the president’s team. But only if the charges are unsupported and untrue.
Given the death threats to election officials in Michigan, and the doxing of their children, for refusing to certify a corrupt election, I’d say Ms. Powell is risking a lot more than money.
What Trump’s Team Faces
Ranged against her is a vast media machine determined to suppress the truth. Billion-dollar networks that trumpeted the Russia collusion hoax and Brett Kavanaugh’s “teenage rape gang,” then pretended that Nick Sandmann was some kind of neo-Nazi. The same networks squelched the solid evidence from the Hunter Biden laptop, abetted by social media monopolies that silence ordinary Americans.
And of course, she has a whole team of Democrats ready to start a “transition” to an office it seems Joe Biden stole. If they succeed, what do they have in store for her, using the power of the White House? Let’s remember that Kamala Harris’ old office is still trying to imprison David Daleiden, for exposing her old campaign donor, Planned Parenthood, on charges she corruptly launched.
I also know what the Democrats have in mind for this country, and for President Trump’s loyal supporters: re-education, on the model of conquered Nazi Germany:
The DNC is talking about “deprogramming” Trump supporters, like pro-Nazi Germans after World War II. But yeah, @POTUS‘ supporters are unhinged conspiracy theorists. https://t.co/ZIZKMfFLZQ — John Zmirak (@JZmirak) November 19, 2020
But there Sidney stood fearlessly on television, her voice quavering a little at the enormity of the evil she has helped to uncover. Meanwhile the Vichy-conservatives over at National Review and other “squish” venues sniped at her, and at Rudolph Giuliani, who faced down the hitmen of the New York Mafia, then broke its back.

That display by Giuliani and Powell was unhinged, undignified, and came across as a mental breakdown. — Michael Brendan Dougherty (@michaelbd) November 19, 2020

Sniffy Vichy Conservatives
If you think your country’s elections are being stolen, and your main concern is for keeping your “dignity,” then I don’t want you next to me in a foxhole. You’ll switch sides if the enemy offers a chocolate bar, and a chance to save your skin.

lifesitenews--2020-11-25--Pennsylvania shows Americans of both parties support cleaning up election fraud

November 25 , 2020 ( Family Research Council ) — Have cheaters prospered in the 2020 election ?
Almost half of America says yes ( including a third of Democrats ! )
.
But there 's one thing almost every voter agrees on : getting to the bottom of whatever fraud there is — and making sure it does n't happen again .
In a new Rasmussen survey , 83 percent of Pennsylvania is on board with cleaning up the region 's election laws before voters head back to the polls in two years .
Election law reform , 63 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
Only three percent thought it was n't important at all .
There 's also , Scott Rasmussen points out , significant backing for several of the things the Trump campaign and Republicans have advocated .
For instance : • 88 percent agree that , prior to the election , government agencies should clean the voter registration files and remove the names of all who have moved or died .
• 75 percent strongly approve of requiring all mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day .
• 68 percent think government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote totals from all ballots on Election Night .
• 88 percent believe both Republican and Democratic party officials should be allowed in the room for every step of the ballot collection and ballot counting procedures .
• 75 percent say all voters who cast their ballot in person should be required to show a photo ID before voting .
• For those who mail in their ballot , 58 percent believe they should they required to include a copy of their photo ID .
• Another 56 percent want ballot harvesting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to believe that voter fraud is a myth and the only people worried about it are Republicans .
Not true , Heritage Foundation 's Hans von Spakovsky has said .
The only place this is a partisan issue is DNC headquarters .
By and large , every American wants some form of election integrity , and this system — which we already know from this year 's primaries and local elections — is ripe for abuse .
`` If you talk to liberal activists and liberal leaders of the Democratic Party , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all against voter I.D .
If you actually look at the polling , you find that everyday folks — no matter whether they 're Republican , Democrat , Independent , no matter whether they 're white , black , Asian , Hispanic — a majority of them say voter I.D .
[ makes sense ] .
So their constituents do n't agree with the views of their leadership . ''
The same goes for voter fraud , he said .
In the polling he did for his book with John Fund , `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about voter fraud in communities than other voters . ''
Regardless of what people think of Donald Trump 's legal challenges , it 's obvious Americans are behind him where weeding out corruption is concerned .
`` It 's not uncommon for the losing party to feel things were unfair , '' PJ Media 's Tyler O'Neil admitted , `` but this is clearly the moment for big changes to happen to restore our faith in our elections to ensure that Americans can feel confident in our elections regardless of the results .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Research Council .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'

LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-11-25--Apple secretly lobbying to soften laws against horrific Chinese human rights abuses

November 25 , 2020 ( Family Research Council ) — When the call came , the mom of three was concerned — but not enough to get dressed .
She reported to the police station in her slippers , she remembers , telling her children she would be right back .
She was n't .
After a brutal interrogation at the Chinese precinct , her world went dark .
Covered in a black hood , Zumrat Duwat felt the shackles clamp her feet and hands , and she knew : the promise she made to her family — like so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broken .
Zumrat was not coming home , and there was nothing she or anyone else could do .
Her story is one of millions .
Like so many Uyghurs , the torture began long before this .
Stripped of her passport , tracked by government spyware , and tested for DNA , Zumrat had been on the police 's radar for years .
At one point , she was forcibly taken to a clinic and hooked up to an IV — only to wake up and discover her tubes had been tied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she shakes her head .
Some women do n't even know they 've been sterilized .
Doctors will tell them that they 're having another procedure — only when they talk to other prisoners do they understand the horror that 's been done to them .
Inside the camps , life is even worse .
Jammed into small cells , girls as young as 14 are ordered to squat naked in front of the guards , many of them taken away and raped .
`` There were girls from my room who passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had nails put into their fingers to make blood pour out , '' Gulbakhar Jalilova says quietly .
This is not `` re-education , '' she insists .
In 15 months , she `` never saw a single classroom . ''
If you 're lucky enough to be released from the camps , another form of suffering awaits .
The Chinese call it `` graduation . ''
Survivors call it forced labor .
Sent to a network of factories — many with U.S. ties — they work grueling hours .
`` They do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said one Muslim woman who was trapped inside .
`` The government chose them to come to OFILM [ factories ] , '' said one shopkeeper , `` they did n't choose it . ''
Inside , the workers make `` screens , camera cover lenses , [ and ] scanners '' for companies like Apple , Samsung , Lenova , Dell , HP , and more .
`` My family is held hostage in a Chinese concentration camp , '' one exiled man pleaded with the U.N. in September .
`` My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a slave laborer .
Your charger may be among them . ''
After months of prodding by international leaders , the U.S. State Department and members of Congress decided to act .
In a rare display of bipartisanship , they condemned China 's genocide and the American brands secretly profiting from it .
By an overwhelming vote — 406-3 — the House took powerful action , banning certain imports from the Xinjiang region , slapping sanctions on those responsible , and barring U.S. companies from using imprisoned workers .
Congressman Michael McCaul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truly heinous discoveries Americans have made , said that in July , U.S. Customs and Border Protection `` seized a 13-ton shipment of human hair '' from the forced labor system .
`` We have n't heard about human hair since the Nazis in the concentration camps of the war that my father fought in , World War II .
It 's sickening .
We must refuse to be complicit financially or otherwise . ''
Some of America 's richest companies , however , are n't quite so willing to go along .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has saved them , tech brands like Apple are working behind the scenes to keep their supply chains open .
In a story that CEO Tim Cook had managed to keep under wraps , the Washington Post broke the news that lobbyists for Apple have been quietly trying to weaken the bill before the Senate has a chance to vote .
`` What Apple would like is we all just sit and talk and not have any real consequences , '' said one of the big union lobbyists .
Publicly , the tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're on board .
Apple spokesperson Josh Rosenstock has insisted Cook 's empire `` is dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect .
We abhor forced labor and support the goals of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act . ''
The CEO himself told a congressional committee in July that he would not tolerate supplier who abused human rights .
The reality is quite different , anonymous Hill staffers tell the Post — pointing to the major campaign underway to water down the legislation so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affected .
And it is n't just Apple , but Costco , Coca-Cola , and Patagonia .
Unlike other companies , who were horrified to learn about their connections to these factories , Cook 's team is even hiring a special lobbying firm with the mission to soften the penalties of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act .
Meanwhile , Apple has been parading around here at home as some sort of social justice warrior , bragging about donations to nonprofits that promote `` racial equality '' — as they fuel persecution on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about `` looking inward '' and stopping `` mass incarceration , '' while they make millions off of innocent minorities locked up and abused .
They crush the freedom they claim to care about and trade in human misery while we are n't looking .
All to make a buck .
How long will they get away with it ?
As long as America lets them .
Contact your senators and urge them to bring the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act to the floor and stop U.S. companies from exploiting these minorities for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Family Research Council .

PETITION UPDATE (12/11/2020)
Right before Thanksgiving, YouTube deleted a LifeSite video of a distinguished Canadian physician protesting the "unfounded public hysteria" over COVID-19 and accused us of spreading "medical misinformation."
Our account was suspended, and we were prohibited from posting videos on our YouTube channel for one week. And, while that may not seem like a big deal, it's a huge deal for a news organization like LifeSite.
Then, earlier this week, YouTube again suspended our account – this time for two weeks – over an episode of The Bishop Strickland Show wherein Bishop Strickland said he would not take an unethical COVID-19 vaccine.
We were able to appeal the suspension, and our request was granted.
This means that in YouTube's three-strikes-and-you're-out content-policing, idea-cleansing scheme, we are back down to one strike. But, we still face the threat of losing our account permanently.
And, we're not the only ones.
In a recent turn of events, YouTube just announced that it will remove videos alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
But, what is YouTube afraid of? The truth???
Thankfully, however, there is a one, big bright spot on the horizon: 48 states filed suit against Facebook just this week.
And, although this seems like a step in the right direction, the draconian measures which YouTube just rolled out, which are already wielded by Twitter, are an assault against free speech.
So, the fight for freedom of speech against Big Tech goes on. And, we must do everything we can to protect it!
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition today!

PETITION UPDATE (11/18/2020)
Everyone thought the censorship by Big Tech corporations would decrease after the 2020 election, but the truth is that censorship is being felt just as much as it was before the election.
And, given the election outcome, perhaps Big Tech censorship now is even more consequential than it was before the election!
The two biggest social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, and other Big Tech companies, are still censoring and suppressing stories and posts favorable to conservatives, and especially anything that has to do with election fraud.
Here are a few recent examples:
Women for America First organized the March for Trump on November 14, which was shut down by Facebook, MailChimp and Eventbrite. Despite Big Tech’s best efforts to cancel the event, the march went on and gathered a huge crowd.
Twitter has been suppressing a large number of President Trump’s Tweets. Most of his Tweets have been flagged arbitrarily with a warning stating: “This claim about election fraud is disputed."
Please READ this recent article about Big Tech's attempt to choke information conerning the recent Million MAGA March in Washington, DC: '5 things mainstream media won’t tell you about massive DC ‘Stop the Steal’ rally'
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.
PETITION UPDATE (10/15/2020)
In a remarkable development, Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg for their company's suppression of two critical expose news stories about how Hunter Biden and the Biden Family allegedly profited from business deals made because of Joe Biden's position as Vice President.
Please WATCH LifeSite's exclusive video of the announcement by Senator Ted Cruz below.
According to the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham, the subpoenas will be issued next Tuesday, for hearings to be held on Friday of next week.
This is a MASSIVE development, and should be welcomed by those who champion freedom of speech.
Again, this is all happening because Twitter and Facebook refuse to allow their members to share stories which would be favorable to conservatives.
Here's the timeline:
Yesterday, Twitter and Facebook suppressed a NY Post story about how Hunter Biden allegedly profited from introducing a Ukrainian businessman to his then-Vice President father, Joe Biden. The story also alleges that Vice President Biden then subsequently pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the businessman's company.
And, just this morning, Twitter suppressed another expose by the NY Post alleging that the Biden Family improperly profitted from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government.
But, right after the story broke, Senator Cruz tried to share the latest story on Twitter and was blocked. Twitter says that they are blocking the stories because they claim that the information was obtained illegally. However, Twitter showed no problem allowing illegally obtained information about President Trump's tax returns to be shared.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, which calls on the Congress, the president, and governors to defend freedom of speech as Big Tech continues their rampant censorship.

PETITION UPDATE (9/17/2020)
Big Tech is out to kill free speech. LifeSite is out to protect it!
LifeSite has been digging deep into the many claims of liberal bias and selective censorship of pro-life, pro-family, and conservative voices on social media.
And, we are now launching our new series 'Uncensored: Big Tech vs. Free Speech', which will unpack how the actions of Big Tech censors actually affect conservative and Christian organization and individuals.
Please WATCH the first video in our series featuring Brigitte Gabriel, the Founder of ACT For America, one of the nation's premier national security grassroots organizations.
Ms. Gabriel's organization, ACT For America, has been targeted by Big Tech especially in the manipulation of search results.
Big Tech “think[s] they are God and they are exercising their godly power over everybody else,” Gabriel explained. "Because in today's world, anytime you want to find out any information about somebody, what do you do? Google. You go to the internet to find out some information about them. When you research anything about somebody, the first thing that comes up [in the search results] is the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling of ‘hate groups.’”
“And who are the ‘hate groups’? Family Research Council is a hate group because they are pro-family. American Family Radio is a hate group…LifeSiteNews is a hate group. My organization is a hate group because we sound the alarm about terrorism and protecting our constitutional freedom. And so they try to character assassinate you. And they control the language.”
LifeSite's research shows that Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and others have become far too dangerous for democracy.
They can and do sway elections and public opinion in whatever direction they want, primarily by manipulating search results, tracking our online behavior, and by blocking truthful content from their platforms.
Today, LifeSite is starting to fight back, with facts and with stories of conservatives and Christians who are being negatively impacted by Big Tech's liberal bias.
Please continue to follow our 'Big Tech vs. Free Speech' series which aims to launch a new video each week for the next eight weeks.
And, please sign our petition demanding that Big Tech monopolies are broken up. Thank you!

ORIGINAL PETITION BACKGROUND TEXT:
The outrageous erasing of the White Coat Summit from the internet is only the latest in a long series of brazen acts of censorship against conservatives and all those who support legitimate free speech.
You may agree or disagree with the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine against the coronavirus, but everyone should agree on this point:
No Big Tech company should have the power to erase from the internet the medical opinions of licensed practicing doctors simply because they do not like what they have to say about the coronavirus or their experience treating it. Americans and other free peoples do not need leftist computer programmers deciding what the best course of medical treatment is for them.
Google/Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and their Big Tech friends want to control what you see, what you read, what you think, and ultimately, how you vote. Not only do they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying congress and buttering up big Washington DC think tanks, but now they brazenly and directly censor any content they don't want you to see.
Big Tech, like other interest groups, aggressively lobby to help their businesses thrive, but increasingly, Big Tech is using blatant internet censorship to impose its radical world view over those they consider to be "deplorables."
This must stop, but it won't unless we demand it as forcefully as legally possible. We believe that we have reached the point were Big Tech must be broken up if legitimate free speech is going to survive and continue to thrive on the internet.
Please sign our petition to demand real consequences for Big Tech's suppression of legitimate free speech.
In 2016, emails revealed by Fox News' Tucker Carlson proved that Google tried to influence the election by affecting voter turnout. Thankfully they failed. But they didn't give up. Instead, they have been preparing and testing how to manipulate information to continue to abuse their monopolistic power.
In 2018, Google/Youtube et. al. succeeded in manipulating the Irish abortion referendum by blacklisting pro-life videos, manipulating pro-life search terms and results and intentionally withholding pro-life information. Again, this is not an opinion or a conspiracy theory, Project Veritas obtained first hand information proving the intentional censorship by Big Tech.
And the Coronavirus has just made things worse. You see, scared people are more easily manipulated into giving up their freedom of speech. Children are being kept from going to school, tens of millions of Americans are out of work, and rioting has broken out in most major American cities.
Now, more than ever, freedom of speech is necessary to secure all of our freedoms. Freedom of speech is crucial to truly exercise the freedom to vote for the person that best represents one's own views, or the freedom to decide what course of medical treatment to accept - especially the decision to control what vaccines are administered to our children.
Some experts, like Dr. Robert Epstein, a behavioral psychologist who has testified before congress against Big Tech believes that we may already be too late to control Big Tech's tyrannical control over information.
President Trump took a step in the right direction with his Executive Order calling for increased regulation of Big Tech. But much more can be done and needs to be done right now.
In an era where almost everything is polarized, there is an overwhelming support for breaking up the Big Tech monopolies. A recent Pew poll found that 75% of Americans believe that Big Tech companies have too much influence.
It is time to bring serious accountability to Big Tech for their attempts to use their monopolies to kill free speech.
It is time to break up Big Tech.
