Representative Jim Jordan, (R-OH-4)I feel very blessed to be represented by this principled rookie U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan. Congress is now in recess and our Congressman are in their districts this week. I heard him speak tonight in the Mansfield, Ohio area. He is a strong pro-family, pro-life, pro-control illegal immigration representative.
In terms of the abortion, he pointed out the great media bias against pro-life. He cited the major pro-life rally in Washington, D.C., which was virtually ignored by the media, despite the fact that 500,000 people protested on the mall. He talked about the fact that Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) has yielded no good outcomes, unlike using adult stem cell or umbilical cord blood cells, which have.
He outlined what he saw were the three major challenges facing America today:
(1) Terrorism – he likened it to what America and the world faced in the 1930s – Nazism.
(2) Competition – America must compete harder today than ever before. After World War II America could do nothing wrong. We had no competition. Today we face the manufacturing and economic challenge from China and India. Congress cannot afford to make mistakes as they have in the past and it didn’t cost us. Now we must regain our competitiveness.
(3) Restoration of American values such as sanctity of life, protection of the traditional family and marriage.
Although this event was billed as a pro-life update, Representative Jordan fielded questions about taxes, healthcare, the North American Union. In regard to the issue of life, however, he reiterated several times the theme that one thing that the pro-life side has in our favor is the TRUTH. With truth on our side he feels that we shall eventually overcome. Elections, he said is the basic way we can change our present situation. We must seek to elect those candidates most committed to the cause of life, family, etc. He challenged us to take the political process very seriously.
