Get your Tickets Now to the Eagle Forum of Sacramento's Constitution Day Breakfast

This is a message from Angela Azevedo, Legislative Director for Eagle Forum of California:

What is wrong with Californians? I'll tell you, we've become complacent ... we've forgotten that our Founding Fathers created the greatest legal document ... our U.S. Constitution. Yet our constitutional rights are being trampled every day by a group of legislators who care more about wearing Hugo Chavez lapel pins (Jackie Goldberg) than preserving our American heritage and fundamental rights.

Every American and person of faith should be outraged that Schwarzenegger signed into law SB1441 which will cause any business, Judeo-Christian private schools and universities, any faith-based organization to "condone" the pro-homosexuality agenda or forfeit receiving any funds from the state. Cleary this is unconstitutional and I'm praying that Pacific Justice Institute will pursue filing a lawsuit against this outrageous law that violates our First Amendment right. And there are three or four other bills sitting on his desk that are just as bad, if not worse.

It's not too late to purchase your tickets to Eagle Forum of Sacramento's Constitution Day Breakfast to get to know the most important legal document ever created and to hear uplifting speakers like Brad Dacus and Craig DeLuz who will introduce facts to aid you in a better understanding of the Constitution and how it brought this Nation to greatness. With a newfound appreciation of this Document, we are confident you will leave with a burning desire to preserve this precious Document for future generations ... for our children. Your participation in this fundraiser will help Eagle Forum of Sacramento carry on our work to support our mission ... Protect Our Children For The Survival of America.

Salem Radio to Take Eric Hogue Regional

Salem Radio relieased the following press release this evening announcing their plans to take to not only keep Eric Hogue, but to take him regional!

ERIC HOGUE TO DRIVE AFTERNOON CHRISTIAN TALK FROM SACRAMENTO TO
SAN FRANCISCO;
Popular Salem Talk Host Launches New Show on KFIA and KFAX

Sacramento, August 29, 2006 – Tom Holiday, general manager of Salem’s Sacramento cluster of stations today announced that popular talk show host Eric Hogue, heard weekdays on News Talk KTKZ 105.5 FM & 1380 AM, will launch a new show on AM 710 KFIA in Sacramento and San Francisco’s KFAX AM 1100. The Eric Hogue Show: The New Talk of Northern California debuts September 5 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Both KFIA and KFAX feature Christian teaching and talk programming from nationally known teachers and Bible expositors.

According to Holiday, “Eric came to News Talk KTKZ from Cleveland where he hosted one of the most listened to Christian talk shows. As an ordained minister, Eric will offer the same passion and perspective listeners have come to appreciate on his weekday morning show. We are taking advantage of an opportunity to reach a larger audience in afternoon drive with an experienced host who truly understands contemporary talk from a Christian worldview.”

Eric Hogue commented: “I am excited about the opportunity to reach a larger audience with the same kind of lively talk and debate I’ve shared with listeners over the last few years. This is a privilege that I take seriously and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Hogue may be best known for helping launch California’s recall of Governor Gray Davis. Hogue spoke with the “Official Petitioner” of the 2003 Recall, Ted Costa of the People’s Advocate driving the original ‘signers’ of the ‘intent to recall Governor Davis’ in Sacramento. This document became the ‘official petition’ for the recall of Governor Gray Davis.

In 2004, Hogue was honored with the “Andy Anderson Award” as Salem’s “National Talk Show Host of the Year”. The National Religious Broadcasters honored Hogue and KTKZ as the “Talk Station of the Year” that same year.

Joe Pursch, who currently hosts Real Talk with Joe Pursch on KFIA will be developing a new, special series called “Transforming Moments” that will air throughout the day on KFIA later this fall.

Eric Hogue to stay in Sacramento

“Where your opinion counts!”

That’s the motto at Salem radio station KTKZ. And it appears to be the motto of the network’s management as well.

Thanks, in part to all of the listener support and to some forward thinking folks on Salem’s management team, it looks like Eric Hogue will be staying on the air. However, it will not be in his usual morning spot on 1380AM.

The word is that KTKZ will be going forward with plans to go all syndicated, all the time. This will probably mean Lara Ingram live from 6-9 am, Dennis Prager live from 9-noon, followed by the usual lineup of Medved and Hughe in the afternoon.

Hogue will be switching over to KFIA 710AM, The Light from 5-8pm and continuing his political/cultural dialogue-type format. But because KFIA is a Christian format station, I would guess that his show will take on more of a “faith-based” perspective; a change that Eric is well equipped to handle.

Sadly, this will mean that Real Talk with Joe Pursch will no longer be on the air. I enjoy his show greatly and count him as a good friend. I believe that he will still be working with Salem and continuing the other ministry work he is doing in Sacramento.

I wish there was a way to keep them both. But if there is one thing that I have learned from this experience with the Eric Hogue Show, is that if the listeners want it to happen bad enough, Salem will find a way to make it work.

So I just want to say “Thank You!” to Salem Broadcasting for keeping conservative talk alive in Sacramento.

Please remember to drop Salem a line and thank them yourselves also!

Get a Job! (Uncommon Sense Radio)

God loves to work! Think about it… when creating the world, he worked six days and rested only one. And when he created Adam, the first thing he did was give him a job.

On the other hand, man tends to have a very negative outlook on work. We can’t wait for Friday to come so that we can leave work and dread Monday, when we have to return. And try to get people to give of their free time to volunteer.

As we are called on to have the mind of Christ, shouldn’t that also include our attitude towards work?

This edition of Uncommon Sense explores God’s perspective of work and our attitudes towards it and those with whom we labor.

CNN- No Fear, Just Facts... Pffft! (Funny Video)

I find it funny how the liberal left is always accusing those of us on the right of fear mongering. Well, here is the Jon Stewart of the Daily Show giving them a little of their own medicine.

Democrat bill forces employers to pay striking employees

AB 1884 would allow striking employees to receive unemployment insurance benefits while out on strike. And because employers are ones who pay for unemployment insurance, who do you think will be footing the bill that will result from increased claims?

According to the Inland Empire Business Journal AB 1884:

Increases the cost of doing business in California by forcing California employers to subsidize a strike against their own company by providing unemployment insurance benefits to workers unemployed due to a strike.

This measure is on it's way to Governor Schwarzenneger for his signature or veto. He in fact vetoed a simular bill last year (AB 391 Koretz) declaring:

“Unemployment benefits are predicted on the principle that workers should receive assistance when they have lost their job through no fault of their own. This principle is key to maintaining the balance that prevents both employers and workers from taking precipitous actions to affect unemployment payouts. This bill disrupts that balance by allowing workers to receive unemployment benefits when they have initiated the process for a strike that results in a lock-out. Current unemployment insurance law already protects workers from lock-outs called by an employer when there is no strike notice. Essentially, this bill will require that businesses subsidize the strike actions of their workers. Unemployment benefits must be maintained for workers who lose their job through no fault of their own.”

Should Christians be involved in politics (Uncommon Sense Radio)

For some reason, the Christian Church has bought into the false doctrine of "Separation of Church and State".

Well this edition of Uncommon Sense Radio provides an introduction into what I like to call "Christian Civics" and provides some biblical arguments as to why we are not only allowed to participate, but we are mandated to participate.
