I have received this e-mail from 2 different sources. If it is 1% true then everyone in the US should know it. If not it should be refuted. As it stands, I have no respect for this woman, but I have posted here before, and it was a false story...I would never want to do that again. I am enclosing the e-mail...do you have someone who can check it out? I have not forwarded it to anyone until I know. Thanks, Prayyior

Quote:
Mrs. John Kerry
Following is a brief background on Mrs. John Kerry .

Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry.
Married Senator Kerry in 1995. She only took his name eighteen months ago and
she is an "interesting" paradox of conflicts.

If you thought John Kerry was scary, he doesn't hold a candle to his wife Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, was educated in Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a "handsome" young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in Geneva.He told her his family was "in the food business."

Thereas married Heinz in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran the giant H. J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 Heinz was elected to the first of three terms in the United States Senate. A Republican, he wrote a burning diatribe against some of the causes backed by young House member John Kerry.)

Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb. The senator, his pilot and copilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed.
He was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons. Four years later, having inherited Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal then-junior senator from Massachusetts. She changed from being a Republicah and registered as a Democrat and the process of her radicalization was set in motion.

Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign a prenuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have check writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it.

A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, mustard, and pickles has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory redistribution of wealth. The new form of socialism in America today.

So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money?

Just one example: According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money?

They support numerous antiwar groups, including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Clark's attorneys have offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried. They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the TidesFoundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states.

They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas. They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico.

These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President of the United States.

Aiding and supporting our enemies is not good for America, regardless of your political views.
If voters will open their eyes, educate themselves and see the real Teresa Heinz Kerry, they will not appreciate her position as ultra rich fairy godmother of the radical left. They will not want to imagine her laying her head on a pillow each night inches away from the President of the United States.

Hopefully they love this country enough to decide that the only way these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved invitation in hand.

Instead of deleting this, pass it on. Let everyone know these people are unfit to represent this great nation. The uninformed will never hear the truth from the press, who wants Kerry elected!

Those who buy the Kerry facade, beware what you vote for - - - you may regret that you got it!

Here You go Prayyior! The E-Roumor is in Dispute, so use your judgement.

=======================

Summary of the eRumor

The eRumor says that Senator John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, donates millions of dollars to The Tides Foundation.

The eRumor says that the foundation supports various antiwar groups including one that offered to defend Saddam Hussein, another that seeks to ease restrictions on immigration from Muslin terrorist states, a group that has close relations with the terrorist group Hamas, and a radical Hispanic group that advocates returning all of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Arizona to Mexico.

The Truth
This story is a complex one and each side has its own explanation.


It got started with a report in December of 2003 by the Capitol Research Center, a conservative watchdog group in Washington, DC.
It was quoted in several newspapers including the Washington Times and the Wall Street Journal.

The report was titled "The Tides Foundation...Liberal Crossroads of Money and Ideas."

It explored the founding of the organization and a companion group called the Tides Center and charged that they are used as channels for wealthy liberals to make donations to activist causes but without being tied directly to the activist organizations.

The article didn't focus on Teresa Heinz Kerry or the Heinz Endowments but did use Heinz donations as an example of what it was describing.
It claimed that between 1999 and 2001 the Howard Heinz endowment, one of two of the Heinz endowments, donated $4,298,500 to the Tides Foundation or the Tides Center.

There is no dispute that the Tides Foundation and Tides Center fund liberal groups.

But supporters of Teresa Heinz Kerry say the Heinz Endowments donations have been for specific projects in Pennsylvania.

They liken the Tides Foundation and Tides Center to the United Way through which donations can be given for a specific group or cause and don't suggest that there is support for all the other United Way organizations.

A statement by the Tides Foundation disputes the Capitol Research Center's estimate of more than four million dollars in donations to Tides.

It says that the Heinz Endowments have given only $230,000 to the Foundation and that was between 1994 and 1998 and used solely to support a "pollution prevention initiative and other environmentally friendly practices by industries in Western Pennsylvania."

Confusingly, however, a document on the Heinz Endowments web site itemizes its own donations to the Tides Foundation and the Tides center, which total $8,116,000 between 1994 and 2004.

Both the Tides Foundation and the Heinz Endowments are headquartered in Pennsylvania.

The president of the Heinz Endowments, Maxwell King, said that any of the articles that charged that donations were being secretly given to political activist groups are wrong.

One of the contentions of the Capitol Research Center that some of the donations are "fungible," meaning that they can be used for something other than the stated reason for the donation.

In a response to an article about all this in the Washington Times in March, 2004, King said, "In fact, by contract, every penny of our support to Tides has been explicitly directed to specific projects in our region. It cannot legally be redirected and is the exact opposite of 'fungible.'"

So the bottom line is that the Tides Foundation and the Tides Centers do provide grants to many left-wing activist organizations.
The Heinz Endowments to make sizable donations to the Tides Foundation and the Tides Centers.


But there is dispute over whether any of those Heinz donations find their way into some of the leftist causes that are mentioned in the eRumor.
Heinz supporters say they do not and that the money donated has gone to specific community causes in Pennsylvania.

Heinz critics say the Tides organizations exist, in part, to provide ways of making donations to activist groups in secret so the Heinz contributions should be scrutinized.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

thank you for checking this out....I think you went to an enormous amount of work to find all this info....I had no idea where to go to find any info.
I will pray about it before I do anything. Thanks.



Posted by: JG

I have moved this into "In the News to pray about"

If this is true we really need to pray.
If not we need to pray for those spreading the lies.

I have had many people tell me much more I just do not know.

The facts as I understand them are

Mrs. Heinze has sent millions to her foundations.
Her foundations have sent millions to people you or I would never talk to.

The question is was it her money or others.
Do they have big donnors besides Mrs. Hienze Kerry.

That is the question.

Does anyone know if she every became an American?

If those of us who Love the Lord, do not seek out the truth of a situation, and then not speak that truth, then we are as guilty as the perpetrator. Our God says...You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. I do not believe he was just talking spiritually, although I praise Him for that freedom. If we cannot seek truth, then who are we? If we do not speak that truth, then what are we here for? If we didn't need to fight battles, then God would not have provided Armor. Gossip is not good....I don't believe in gossip, nor do I gossip. I am sure that there were any number of people who got that e-mail. Most of them will pass it on without checking it out. People, not just Christians need to know the truth, because it is the truth that sets them free also. How does one learn what the truth is if you don't question the words of another.
As to Skeletons in our closet....yes, we do all have them....but would you pull your skeleton out to proudly proclaim what that sin was? Would you wear one of the t-shirts that were being worn by Planned Parenthood at the Democratic convention that said....I had an abortion?
I don't think so....because you are a beautiful child of God, who loves the Lord with all your heart. I will pray about all this, but I will listen too, and if God says share this, then I will do as he says. There are people who need to know the truth, and God has chosen his children to speak that truth.....whether it be regarding the gospel, or whether it be other truth. His Word remains....TRUE!
I think if we don't discuss various responses to something, we do God a grave injustice. Remember that Jesus himself said he came not to bring peace but division. We as Christians have to rightly divide the Word of Truth wherever it comes from.
I love all of you....forgive me, but in my Spirit I believe you are wrong on this one item. I do know God has been dealing with me about getting involved in the political process. I have in the past....just prayed! God would not have created physical bodies for us, if he didn't have a use for them. In this instance I believe it is to find the truth, and let people know what it is.
God Bless America, and God Bless this Prayer Room! Amen in Jesus Holy Name!

Dear Prayior:

If you cold not hear the tape there is some of the transcript of the Video.
These are the actual words of Kerry supporting war with Iraq. Please read it all. We have a Christian president we need to pray for him.


Kerry For War in Iraq

1995: Kerry Was Prepared To Go To War To Remove Saddam From Kuwait. ABC’S COKIE ROBERTS: "Senator Kerry, that was something you voted against ... was that Persian Gulf war." SEN. JOHN KERRY: "I voted against the timing of it, Cokie. I said very clearly in my statement on the Senate floor that I was committed to getting Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait ... and that I was prepared to go to war if it took that ..." (ABC’s "Nightline," 11/27/95)

1997: Kerry Warned Senate Of Saddam’s WMD Capabilities. "It is not possible to overstate the ominous implications for the Middle East if Saddam were to develop and successfully militarize and deploy potent biological weapons. We can all imagine the consequences. Extremely small quantities of several known biological weapons have the capability to exterminate the entire population of cities the size of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. These could be delivered by ballistic missile, but they also could be delivered by much more pedestrian means; aerosol applicators on commercial trucks easily could suffice. If Saddam were to develop and then deploy usable atomic weapons, the same holds true." (Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 11/9/97, p. S12256)

1998: Kerry Willing To Commit Ground Troops In Iraq. KERRY: "I think there is a disconnect between the depth of the threat that Saddam Hussein presents to the world and what we are at the moment talking about doing. ... [T]hen we have to be prepared to go the full distance, which is to do everything possible to disrupt his regime and to encourage the forces of democracy." ABC’S COKIE ROBERTS: "And does that mean ground troops in Iraq?" KERRY: "I am personally prepared, if that’s what it meant." (ABC’s "This Week," 2/22/98)

1998: Kerry Said Saddam Had Chemical And Biological Weapons. KERRY: "[H]e can rebuild both chemical and biological. And every indication is, because of his deception and duplicity in the past, he will seek to do that. So we will not eliminate the problem for ourselves or for the rest of the world with a bombing attack." (ABC’s "This Week," 2/22/98)

2001: Kerry Said Saddam Has Used WMDs And Is Trying To Secure Additional Weapons. SEN. JOHN KERRY: "[I]t is something that we know-for instance, Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction against his own people, and there is some evidence of their efforts to try to secure these kinds of weapons and even test them." (CBS’ "Face The Nation," 9/23/01)

2001: Kerry Says Saddam "Acted Like A Terrorist." KERRY: "He is and has acted like a terrorist, and he has engaged in activities that are unacceptable." (Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor," 12/11/01)

2001: Kerry Says Need To Increase Pressure On Saddam. KERRY: "[I] think we ought to put the heat on Saddam Hussein. I’ve said that for a number of years, Bill. I criticized the Clinton administration for backing off of the inspections, when Ambassador Butler was giving us strong evidence that we needed to continue. I think we need to put the pressure on, no matter what the evidence is about September 11 ..." (Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor," 12/11/01)

2001: Kerry Says Iraq Part Of Global War On Terror. KERRY: "I think we clearly have to keep the pressure on terrorism globally. This doesn’t end with Afghanistan by any imagination. And I think the president has made that clear. I think we have made that clear. Terrorism is a global menace. It’s a scourge. And it is absolutely vital that we continue, for instance, Saddam Hussein." (CNN’s "Larry King Live," 12/14/01)

2002: Kerry Agrees With Goal Of Regime Change In Iraq. "I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq ..." (Sen. John Kerry, Speech To The 2002 DLC National Conversation, New York, NY, 7/29/02)

2002: Kerry Calls Saddam A "Renegade And Outlaw." "... Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations in 1991." (Sen. John Kerry, Speech To The 2002 DLC National Conversation, New York, NY, 7/29/02)

2002: Kerry Wrote Saddam Inviting Enforcement If He Does Not Comply With International Community. "If Saddam Hussein is unwilling to bend to the international community's already existing order, then he will have invited enforcement ..." (Sen. John Kerry, Op-Ed, "We Still Have A Choice On Iraq," The New York Times, 9/6/02)

2002: Kerry Said Iraq’s WMDs May Be Given Or Sold To Terrorist Groups. "I would disagree with John McCain that it’s the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it’s what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." (CBS’ "Face The Nation," 9/15/02)

2002: Kerry Said President Has Right To Act Unilaterally. "But the president, as I also wrote in that article, always reserves the right to act unilaterally protect [sic] the interests of our country." (MSNBC’s "Hardball," 9/17/02)

2002: Kerry Said US Has Right To Protect Our Security. "If the UN fails to cooperate, ‘we always reserve the right to do what we need to do to protect our security,’ Kerry said." (Susan Milligan, "Confronting Iraq," The Boston Globe, 10/4/02)

2002: Kerry Voted For Iraq War Resolution. (H.J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48-1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kerry Voted Yea)

2003: Kerry Said Leaving Saddam Hussein "Unfettered With Nuclear Weapons Or Weapons Of Mass Destruction Is Unacceptable." (Jill Lawrence, "War Issue Challenges Democratic Candidates," USA Today, 2/12/03)

2003: Kerry Says Disarming Saddam Was "Right Decision." KERRY: "George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." (ABC News Democrat Presidential Candidates Debate, Columbia, SC, 5/3/03)

2003: Kerry Said "It Would Be Irresponsible" To Suggest President Misled On WMD. ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "I know you said you’re agnostic about whether or not he misled the public on weapons of mass destruction. But do you have a hunch on whether you think they hyped the intelligence?" SEN. JOHN KERRY: "George, again, I think it would be irresponsible of me at this point to draw conclusions prior to all the evidence being on the table." (ABC’s "This Week," 6/15/03)


This is not what he is saying today...
We need to pray for the truth.
We need a man we can trust who will keep his word.

We need to pray that we understand what it means to have a man of God in the White House.

To all my Friends:

When I went to Chris's web site he said he was under an attack from the enemy.

He said he needed some time off and I quote:

Quote:
I am going to remove myself from this site for now .......
So to all my friends during this time I am going to use it as a very intense time to seek the face of God even more and to enter awesomely into the secret place of the most high.. Will see you all sometime after the elections
......but for now ((HUGS)) to all and God Bless
.....


He said he would be back after the elections.

We love you Chris
I pray you see the face of Jesus
Pastor Jerry

...A Louisiana congressman who recently switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party says his faith played a major role in the decision. Rodney Alexander says he simply could no longer handle the liberal direction of the Democratic Party. "I know there are some Democrats out there who are Christians because I was a Democrat Christian, but it begins to get harder and harder the farther we go along with the Democratic Party -- and that's the reason that I couldn't stay there anymore," Alexander says. "It's hard for me to deal with it. I thought I could -- I made it for two years; but it just got to the point that I wasn't going to go with it anymore, so I changed." The member of the Armed Services Committee says he knew he would take extreme heat from the Democratic Party for his decision -- particularly on the eve of the fall elections. "I have fallen under some heavy criticism," he shares. "If I had waited until after the election, I would have been criticized. I was criticized back in the spring when I contemplated it." Still, he says, it was the right time to make the change. "[I]t's not something that was going to be embraced by everybody anyway, so I just felt like the manly thing would be to run as a Republican before the qualifying was over -- and I made that decision." Alexander attends Sweetwater Baptist Church in Alexandria when he is home.



BTW...thanks for the video clips that you entered the transcript. Computer guy is coming tomorrow night...Please Pray for a miracle.
