Gov. CHARLIE CRIST (I)
On Friday, June 11th, Governor Charlie Crist vetoed a pro-life bill that would both opt the state out of some of the abortion funding in the health care law Obama signed as well as allow women a chance to see an ultrasound before an abortion. Though the bill did not require women to see the ultrasound-it gave them the option-Crist claimed it did in a Tampa Tribune interview. Section 390.0111 of the bill, line 512 states: “The woman has a right to decline to view the ultrasound images after she is informed of her right and offered an opportunity to view them.”

FLORIDA LEGISLATURE PROTECTS STUDENTS FREE SPEECH
The Florida Legislature passed a law that requires school district to obtain the consent of staff and students before entering into any agreement that infringes upon or waives their First Amendment rights. The new law takes effect July 1st. This law was passed in response to a gross violation of free speech rights brought about by the ACLU in the Santa Rosa County School District. School officials signed a Consent Decree which prohibits religious expression, off-campus baccalaureate services, student-initiated prayers and much more. Liberty Counsel will pursue the Santa Rosa case until the Consent Decree is set aside in light of the new law.

PRESIDENT B.H. OBAMA’S CIVILAN ARMY
The Obama health care bill includes an “emergency health army”. In Section 5210 of HR 3590, titled “Establishing a Ready Reserve Corps”, the force must be ready for “involuntary calls to active duty during national emergencies and public health crises.” During his campaign for president, Obama called for a “civilian national security force”, July 2, 2008, in Colorado Springs, Colo. “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” WorldNetDaily, March 25, 2010
