The Christian Action League of North Carolina, Return America, along with other social conservative groups in the state will have a rally on the south side lawn of the capital building in Raleigh, Monday, April 11^th, starting at noon time. The rally will be in support of Governor Pat McCrory, and state lawmakers for their passage of HB 2.

See and hear personal appeal from Rev. Mark Creech on Youtube video.

Dr. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League said, “The bill that passed and the one the Governor signed, HB 2, overturned an egregious Charlotte ordinance and restored basic expectations of privacy people have when using the restroom. The bill also provides that private businesses can make their own decisions regarding accommodations and services and not be forced by a city ordinance to do certain things that could be detrimental to their business. It’s unfortunate this common sense measure has been so grossly misrepresented and maligned. The rally will seek to provide some clarity, as well as cheer our state’s Governor and lawmakers on.” Read the rest of this entry »

SMITHFIELD – After hearing from the Christian Action League at their meeting on Monday, the Johnston County Board of Commissioners tabled talk of a countywide alcohol referendum until its May meeting.

Currently, only the Cleveland and Wilders townships have approved beer and wine sales, and business owners in other parts of the county say they are losing revenue and want the commission to put the issue to voters in November.

But the Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League and a resident of Johnston County, implored the board to move slowly and to consider more than just prospective profits.

“I understand the frustration some private businesses owners feel about the way North Carolina’s alcohol laws seem to make it harder to obtain the necessary permits,” he said. “But, believe it or not, these fences were established years ago to make certain that as the prospect of alcohol sales grew, communities were given ample time to prepare emotionally, morally, and financially to deal with the unavoidable additional cost.” Read the rest of this entry »

APEX – An Apex woman may have been the first person charged under a North Carolina law that took effect late last year prohibiting “revenge porn,” a law supported by the Christian Action League.

“It’s unfortunate such legislation is needed today,” said the Rev. Mark Creech, CAL executive director. “But obviously it is.”

Media reports show Ashley Augustine, 20, of 4320 Suncliffe Court, has been released on a $3,000 bond after being charged last month with disclosure of private images. She is believed to have posted a photo of a Garner woman having sex “with the intent to harass, demean or humiliate her.” Read the rest of this entry »

PayPal, the website known for processing online payments, believes grown men have a constitutional right to use the same bathrooms as little girls.

So when North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill that banned people from using bathrooms not assigned to their birth sex, PayPal became enraged and retaliated.

Mark Creech, inviting citizens across the state to show their public support by attending a rally this coming Monday, April 11^th, at noon time on the lawn of the capital building. This is critical.

RALEIGH – In their quest to restore to all North Carolinians what Gov. Pat McCrory called “the basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings,” Tar Heel lawmakers have become the focus of a nationwide smear campaign led, in part, by the state’s attorney general, who has refused to defend House Bill 2.

Passed March 23 to overturn Charlotte’s Bathroom and Public Accommodations Ordinance, the bill applies to schools and government buildings and requires that men use men’s rooms and women use women’s rooms. Charlotte’s ordinance, set to begin April 1 and aimed in part at giving transgender people more options, would have forced businesses to allow anyone to use the bathroom of his or her choice, no matter the person’s gender.

Although HB 2 does not limit nondiscrimination policies passed by individuals, companies or universities, Cooper said he would not defend the bill, which is already under attack from the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups. Cooper said it conflicted with his personal office policy. Read the rest of this entry »

Lies are born the moment someone thinks the truth is dangerous. Apparently, a good number of business and sports executives think the truth about North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” (HB2) is dangerous, that’s why they are lying about it. Well, perhaps I should be a bit more charitable: some may not be overtly lying about it, but they are expressing their disapproval without knowing what the bill actually does.

On Monday Lt. Governor Dan Forest, who helped call the special session to pass HB2, called the executive in charge at one large protesting company and simply asked if him if he or anyone there had actually read the bill.

He admitted they had not. They just labeled it “discriminatory” without even reading it.

Who needs the truth when you make so much “progress” by ignoring the truth and engaging in the very bigotry and name-calling you claim to oppose? Read the rest of this entry »

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BP) — Despite a federal court challenge, social conservatives in North Carolina are defending a state law upholding religious liberty and requiring individuals in state government buildings to use restrooms based on the gender indicated on their birth certificates.

“North Carolinians are pretty fed up with their voices being clamped down and tossed out” regarding the defense of traditional marriage and religious liberty, said Mark Harris, a Charlotte pastor running for U.S. Congress as a Republican. “… The citizens of North Carolina are determined their voices are going to be heard.”

A lawsuit filed in federal court March 28 by pro-transgender activists alleges North Carolina’s Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act violates the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Title IX of the federal Education Amendments of 1972. According to the lawsuit, the bill’s “requirement that transgender people be shunted into single-sex spaces that do not match their gender identity invades their privacy and exposes this vulnerable population to harassment and potential violence by others.” Read the rest of this entry

Friends,

Our Governor, Pat McCrory and North Carolina lawmakers, showed tremendous courage recently by passing legislation (HB 2) that preserves the safety of women and children and the right of North Carolinians to live and work according to the dictates of their consciences.

Since the passage of this common-sense legislation, a firestorm has erupted. The media with their leftist bias are smearing the new law, the Governor and state legislators. Huge corporations, Hollywood celebrities, and major sports organizations are putting tremendous pressure on the Governor and lawmakers for their support of it.

BUT THEY DID THE RIGHT THING!!! That’s why your show of support to counter the unreasonable voices of the left is needed now by your presence at one of the Candlelight Prayer Vigils listed.  Read the rest of this entry »

Auguste Comte, a French philosopher and skeptic, was once belittling English writer, Thomas Carlyle, for his faith in Jesus Christ. Comte suggested that he might start a religion of his own to replace Christianity.

“Very good,” responded Carlyle. “All you need to do is to be crucified, rise again the third day and get the world to believe that you are still alive. Then your new religion just might have a chance.”

No religion in the world can match the claims of Christianity. What differentiates it from other religions is its declaration that Christ literally rose from the grave. There have always been those who have sought to debunk the resurrection of Christ, but whatever arguments have been offered fail miserably. Harvard professor Dr. Simon Greenleaf summed it up well, when he said, “According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history.“ Read the rest of this entry »
