The Vose Libary in Union, Maine Violating Free Speech By Cancelling a Showing of “Vaxxed”
Maine Referendum Question 1 on the ballot next week which, if passed, will restore the religious and philosophical exemptions for those who oppose vaccinations. Maine’s Democrat controlled legislature passed Legislative Document 798 (LD798) and Janet Mills, Maine’s far-left, anti-Christian governor signed it into law. This is the same governor who refused to sign a pro-homeschool resolution that Maine’s governors have been doing for over 25 years. A group that is leading the fight to repeal LD798 is Reject Big Pharma https://www.rejectbigpharma.com/
A friend of mine asked me to create events for two showing of the documentary Vaxxed on our Camp Constitution and Maine Friends of the Constitution Facebook groups. One of the showing was held at the Appleton Library and the other was scheduled to be shown at the Vose Library in nearby Union until a library official contacted my friend, and was told the showing was cancelled. The cover of the Vaxxed DVD reads: “The Film They Don’t Want You to See.” They, of course, include the folks who run the Vose Library
The action of the Vose Library officials are not only a violation of the Maine State Constitution Article 1: Section 4 and the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution but the Library Bill of Rights:
“The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services.
I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, age, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.
V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
VII. All people, regardless of origin, age, background, or views, possess a right to privacy and confidentiality in their library use. Libraries should advocate for, educate about, and protect people’s privacy, safeguarding all library use data, including personally identifiable information.

Inclusion of “age” reaffirmed January 23, 1996.”
Whether you support Governor Mills, and Big Pharma’s position on the issue or support the folks who are working to repeal LD798, people should have access to all information and support the right to see a documentary on the subject. May I suggest that readers of this call, write or E-mail the Library voicing your concerns:

Why I am proud to call George Washington my father by Pastor Garrett Lear
Why I am proud to call George Washington my father
Is that enough of a shock to get you to read this exposition? O.K., my father’s name on my birth certificate is Albert. Of course, The Bible states call no one father (that is Father meaning only THE GOD of The Bible qualifies for that Highest Name and Place) let’s not go there for now. Agreed? Good. Moving on then. Much has been written about George Washington from his birth to his death. Much has been written about his family lineage, heritage, his conduct and his demeanor. All of that is exemplary.
Now, if you get your views about George Washington (or American Providential History in general) from Hollywood movies, T.V. series and that ilk… well you are a fool. Did you get your feelings hurt? It was and is not my intention to do that, I am trying to inform you with truth.
I believe our Constitutional Republic is worth saving. She is worth living for, standing up for, fighting for and dying for… this was the oath of our Founders and is mine and I suggest should be yours too. The worst traitors are the revisionists. These are the people who hate America and point out only her shortcomings. All countries have them as The Bible states all have sinned and come short of the glory of The Lord.
Many through out the life of America have believed that these States of America United was the best experiment in self-governance ever in the history of the world. George Washington was such a man that believed that. During his funeral at Christ Episcopal Church (Washington’s adopted church for the last decade of his life. )Revolutionary War hero Henry Lee III spoke: “To the memory of the Man, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow-citizens.”
Patrick Henry, the first governor of Virginia (as a state), said, “[I]f you speak of solid information and sound judgment, Washington is unquestionably the greatest man of them all.”
Thomas Jefferson remarked on Washington, “His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision.” The fact is that he was universally viewed as a hero, including by those who closely knew him. He was even viewed in a favorable light by his foreign enemies.
George Washington The World’s Apostle of Liberty had states, babies, seven mountains, eight streams, nine colleges, 33 counties named after him, numerous statues and monuments across the country including in Washington, D.C. and the Public Gardens in Boston, MA.
The first public occasion of celebrating Washington’s birthday was in New York in 1784. We continue to celebrate his birthday on February 22 each year and his Farewell Address (A link to Pastor Lear’s reading of the “Farewell Address”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0P2ybbrxI and a link to a PDF version of the address: https://campconstitution.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/George-Washington-Farewell-Address.pdf
I will not take the time here to refute every absurd slander against him. It has been said he was uneducated. That is a bold face lie. He attained the equivalent as a university education. He was considered the best educated man of his time. In establishing the example of love of country first, he served as the commander of the Army without pay and only reimbursed for expenses. He was known as a humble, earnest Christian who studied The Scriptures to pattern his life. I am doing that in my life and encourage others to do the same.
In his morning prayer (this and many other such documents from him are in abundance in The Library of Congress):
Almighty God and most merciful father, who didst command the children of Israel to offer daily sacrifice to thee, that thereby they might glorify and praise thee for thy protection both night and day receive o Lord, my morning sacrifice which I now offer up to the…. Ending his prayer with… be our God & guide this day and forever for his sake, who lay down in the Grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord , Amen.
George and Martha Washington are buried at their home at Mt. Vernon in Virginia. A that tomb (which I have been to) is inscribed paid for by George Washington the Gospel of John, chapter 11, verses 25 & 26:
“I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”
He also issued instructions to the officers of his army to speak to the soldiers and tell them not to curse, use profane language or insult the majesty of Heaven who they needed help from!
He is quoted as saying “Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of Liberty abused to licentiousness (meaning unrestrained by law or general morality; lawless; immoral, going beyond customary or proper bounds or limits; disregarding rules).
He could have been King George of America (it was suggested to him). He could have been an emperor or a tyrant (also suggested to him). He refused to stay as president for more than 2 terms (he could have stayed for the rest of his life). He refused all the trappings of power lesser men in history gladly relished. He humbly bid Farewell (fair thee well) America. He could never imagine his beloved homeland happening as it is now.
I personally, have numerous historically accurate books about George Washington and those who mention him frequently, in my Patriot Pastor library. I am a leader in an organization formed around the tenets of George Washington, The National Society Sons Of The American Revolution (NSSAR). https://www.sar.org/ Camp Constitution Director Shurtleff and son Nathaniel are also members of this honorable lineal heritage society. In the interest of brevity, I have not foot noted or cited all my sources used here. You may contact me for more information if you desire to. E-mail address: patriotpastor@thepatriotpastor.org
Now you know why I am proud to call George Washington my father. He is after all, known as the father of our country (and he gave the glory to GOD THE FATHER for it) for good reason. I am asking you to consider calling him your father too! This is my pledge and my oath… hand on my heart and The Bible…

A Week of Patriotic fun and Christian fellowship at the one and only Camp Constitution!
This summer, patriots and people of God from across America will be coming together in New Hampshire for a week of patriotic fun and Christian fellowship at the one and only Camp Constitution
Camp Constitution is a Christian-centered charitable trust that, among others things, runs a week-long family camp, a speakers’ bureau, a publishing arm, and a radio show.
The organization also has the honor of hosting the Sam Blumenfeld Archives. https://campconstitution.net/sam-blumenfeld-archive/
Its motto is “Honoring the Past…Teaching the Present….Preparing the Future,” and that’s what Camp Constitution has been doing since its founding in 2009.
This year, it will host its 12th annual family camp, which will run from Sunday July 19 to Friday July 24 at the Singing Hills Christian Camp and Conference Center in beautiful Plainfield, New Hampshire. The family camp is for entire families and unaccompanied children.
Over the years, the camp has been blessed with a talented line-up of instructors who volunteer their time, and this year is no exception. The line-up includes Professor Willie Soon, one of the world’s top climate realists; Rev. Steven Craft of Christian Citizenship Ministries; Lord Christopher Monckton, former advisor to Margaret Thatcher; Alex Newman, journalist and author; CJ Pearson, teenage conservative activist; Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel; Debbie Bacigalupi, a rancher and leading expert on Agenda 21; Dr. Felicia Nace, educator and author; and Catherine White of the Constitution Decoded.

Camp Constitution’s Junior Patriot Camp for campers 4-12 teaches the history of the Constitution in a fun yet informative way. The information is aimed to encourage younger patriots to cherish this great document for our great country and continue this learning process.
While the subject is primarily the Constitution and events that led up to the final document, guest instructors are invited to use different media such as puppets, skits, costumes, cartoons, etc., to educate our Junior Campers on the Constitution. A take-home craft is usually planned to help reinforce the lesson/session.
A typical day at camp begins with a 6:30 AM optional “polar bear” swim and/or run. Wake up is at 7:00 AM, and morning devotions at 7:45 at the flagpole where Old Glory is raised and the Pledge of Allegiance and the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution is recited. After a hearty breakfast, there are three morning classes each one lasting 45 minutes with time in-between to shoot a basketball, throw a football, play a short game of gaga ball or ask the instructor questions.
There is a room inspection in the morning where the head counselor looks for cleanliness, as well as a Christian and Patriotic theme. The head counselor grades each room and cabin, and the winners get free pizza after the last full day’s campfire. Inspection results are posted in the camp’s daily newspaper–its antidote to fake news. After lunch, time is set aside for organized recreation where campers engage in volleyball, wiffleball, basketball, ping-pong and chess tournaments. Other activities include swimming, hiking, martial arts, or just relaxing in the beautiful environs of the camp.
Wednesday afternoon is set aside for a field trip to the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Homestead in nearby Cornish, New Hampshire.
After dinner, there are two more classes and a flag-lowering ceremony.
The last scheduled event of the day is campfire where campers and staff sing hymns and patriotic songs, recite poetry, perform skits, and tell corny jokes. After campfire, the camp newspaper is distributed, and campers have a chance to unwind before they head back to the cabins at 10:30 and lights out at 11:00 PM.
Thursday morning, the last full day of camp, some of the campers and staff visit the nearest town where they distribute pocket copies of the U.S. Constitution to the locals.
The closing ceremony will include a motivational speech by Lord Christopher Monckton and Rev. Steve Craft, and announcing the Super Camper winners given to a boy and a girl chosen by the staff. The award is a full tuition for next year’s camp.
A week’s tuition for ages 13 to adult is $300. For ages 4-12 the cost is $200. Three and under free. Those that register and pay in full before June 1, get a $50 discount. Tuition assistance to campers and families on a case by case basis. Register here: https://campconstitution.registration.payscape.com/programs/1981/camp-constitution-2020
The camp is well supervised with experienced staff mainly consisting of parents and including a camp doctor and nurse. Families and staff come from all over the United States and even one from Europe to attend this special camp program.
Camp Constitution offers a potential life-changing and life-affirming experience for young and old. It’s a great place to fellowship, teach, learn, relax and make life-time friendships.
For more information, please visit the Camp Constitution website https://www.campconstitution.net or contact me, Hal Shurtleff, the camp director, at (857) 498-1309 or campconstitution1@gmail.com.
Hope to see you there!

Honoring the Memory of George Washington
George Washington’s Farewell Address used to be taught in the schools across the United States. Today, few if any do. Indeed, when Washington is mentioned, he is usually maligned. But we at Camp Constitution, true to our mission statement–Honoring the Past…Teaching the Present….Preparing the Future”-honor the memory of this great man. Here is a link to a downloadable PDF version of his “Farewell Address” which we reprinted:

The Weekly Sam: Help Us Spread the Word About the Sam Blumenfeld Archive
Camp Constitution offers this incredible free on-line resource that is for teachers, homeschoolers, historians, researchers, students and those who like to learn. It consists of the writings and recordings of my late friend Sam Blumenfeld. Sam was a pioneer in the homeschool and private school movement and one of the first persons to realize that the reading problem in the United States was done on purpose. He coined the term “menticide” to describe the deliberate dumbing-down of America.
This resource contains most of Sam’s books in PDF format including “The NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education” and a manuscript of his unpublished book “How the Left Created the Neo Nazi Movement.” It also contains Sam’s “Alpha-Phonics” workbook in PDF and an on-line version with all 128 lessons in either audio or video. In his earlier years, Sam was founded and co-founded organizations like “American Friends of Katanga,” “American Friends of Algeria, and the “Jewish Society of Americanists.” You will find the newsletters, and other documents in the archives unavailable anywhere else.
Please use and share this resource far and wide. Send links to your friends, neighbors, educators. Make a list of local or regional literacy organizations and let them know of the archive. Last year, we received over two million views. Let’s Make America Literate Again. https://campconstitution.net/sam-blumenfeld-archive/

The City of Boston’s Systemic Bigotry and Its Open Violation of State Law
In the wake of the lawsuit that Camp Constitution filed against the City of Boston, city officials came up with the rules for flag-raising ceremonies. Rule 1 excludes “religious movements” but Rule 3, says that participants can’t discriminate based on sex, race, and religion. So, the City can discriminate against religion but participants can’t. Rule 1 reads that flags can’t be offensive. Offensive to whom? I think that the answer is obvious: Offensive to the Marxists who run the city. A communist flag is not offensive to Mayor Marty Walsh and the City Council but it is offensive to people who love liberty.
Here is the new policy from the City’s website:
City of Boston Property Management Department Flag Raising Rules
1. At no time will the City of Boston display flags deemed to be inappropriate or offensive in nature or those supporting discrimination, prejudice, or religious movements.
2. Flag raisings must occur on a normal business work day, generally between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. Requests to raise a flag on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday will normally be referred to the business day before or after the weekend or holiday. If an applicant requests a flag raising outside of the above times, he or she must seek a waiver from the Commissioner of Property Management Department and provide an adequate justification. The decision of the Commissioner will be final.
3. All flag raising events must be open to members of the public. Guests must adhere to the City of Boston policy not to discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, etc.
4. The guest must deliver the appropriate size flag to the City of Boston PMD and retrieve the guest flag after the raising. The flag must be clean and serviceable flag with dimensions no less than 3 feet wide by 5 feet long and no greater than 10 feet wide by 15 feet long. PMD and the City of Boston will not be responsible for guest flags not retrieved.
5. All events must be consistent with the City of Boston’s sustainability goals, including its efforts toward making Boston a zero waste city. (Here an example of the city implementing Agenda 21)
6. If ordered, flags may be lowered to comply with the U.S. Flag Code. If the Governor or other appropriate authority orders that the U.S. Flag be flown at half-staff, no other flag may be flown higher than the U.S. Flag.
7. Guest flags will normally only be flown 24 hours or less.
This is also on the city’s website:
” We want to create an environment in the City where everyone feels included, and is treated with respect. We also want to raise awareness in Greater Boston and beyond about the many countries and cultures around the world. Our goal is to foster diversity and build and strengthen connections among Boston’s many communities.”
This is a flat-out lie. Marty Walsh and the City Council do not treat conservative Christians with respect, and the city sure isn’t interested in building and strengthening connections among Boston’s “many communities” since they treat conservative Christians as second class citizens.
Here is a list of dates for flag-raising events from the city’s website:
February 15, Lithuania, March 6 Ghana, March 8 Tibet, March 14, Ireland May 3, Poland May 17, Haiti
May 31 Boston Pride Week June 4. (This is a religious flag since churches all over the city fly it), Caribbean American June 9, Portugal June 12, Philippines June 15, Juneteenth (to celebrate the passing of the 13th Amendment), July 5, Cape Verde July 9, Argentina July 10, Venezuela July 19, Colombia July 22, Puerto Rico (Not a foreign nation) July 26, Peru August 6, Bolivia August 9, Ecuador August 16, Dominican Republic September 6, Brazil September 8, Ethiopia September 9, Chile September 12, El Salvador September 14 Central America September 16, Mexico October 5, Taiwan October 13, Cuba and October 29, Turkey.
The city doesn’t list Communist China since it gets folks a little riled up but the Chinese communists usually raise it in late September or early October to commemorate the communist take-over of China. https://www.boston.gov/departments/property-management/boston-city-hall-plaza-flag-raising-dates
Boston is in violation of state law almost every time a foreign flag is raised on the plaza. Here is the state law on the subject:
Section 8: Foreign flag; display; penalty; exception
Section 8. Whoever displays the flag or emblem of a foreign country upon the outside of a state, county, city or town building or public schoolhouse shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars; but, except as to public schoolhouses, this section shall not apply when a citizen of such foreign country becomes the guest of the United States or of the commonwealth, or when a diplomatic representative of a foreign country is a guest at said public building and, if the governor by proclamation authorizes the flag of the country of which such guest is a citizen to be displayed upon public buildings. https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleI/Chapter264/Section8
The city denies us a permit to fly the Christian flag which is deemed offensive and “unapproved government speech” while openly breaking state law, and allowing foreign flags including those of Communist China and Cuba to fly. Camp Constitution has appealed the Federal Court’s recent decision and its attorneys at Liberty Council ( https://www.lc.org will take it all of the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. We will continue to expose the city’s “systemic” bigotry and illegal activity.
Camp Constitution’s Featured Instructor and Two New Instuctors for our 2020 Family Camp
Since out first camp in 2009, Camp Constitution has been blessed with an incredible line-up of instructors who volunteer their time at Camp Constitution’s annual family camp, and this year’s line-up is no exception. Our line-up includes returning instructors Professor Willie Soon, Lord Christopher Monckton, Debbie Bacigalupi, Catherine White, John McManus, Rev. Steve, and Mrs. Edith Craft, and this year, we are pleased to introduce two new instructors: CJ Pearson and Attorney Jonathan Alexandre.
CJ Pearson:
Several years ago, I viewed a YouTube video of this remarkable young man criticizing Obamacare. Last month, Professor Soon send me a link to an article where CJ challenged Greta Thunberg to a debate on the subject of climate change. I decided to invite him to Camp Constitution. I visited his website, filled out the contact form inviting his to speak at our camp, and he promptly replied that he will be happy to attend.
Over the course of the past few years, CJ Pearson has emerged as a leading voice among right-leaning youth and has been described as the “Left’s Youngest Nightmare” — a title he wears with pride. Through his viral video commentary, Pearson has amassed more than half a million followers on social media and has garnered more than 100 million views on his compelling and impassioned video content. Pearson has also made frequent appearances in the national media and has been featured on Fox News, The Blaze, Newsmax TV, and One America News Network. CJ’s website: https://cjpearson.org/
Attorney Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Counsel
I had the honor to meet Jonathan at the Mid-Atlantic Reformation’s annual conference in Lancaster, PA where he and his wife Renee manned an information table for Liberty Counsel. He was also a keynote speaker at the conference. I soon discovered that Jonathan lived two doors down from my late mother-in-laws home where I currently live.
Jonathan Alexandre, J.D., is Director of Public Policy for Liberty Counsel and Liberty Counsel Action in Washington, DC. In this position, Alexandre consults with and advises law and policy makers, including nonprofit and advocacy groups at the federal, state, and local levels across the nation, regarding issues on religious freedom, the sanctity of life, marriage and the family, foreign and domestic policies, Israel, and the Middle East. In addition, Alexandre oversees internships in the Washington, DC office. The internship opportunities are available to students from around the country who are interested in law, policy, and Israel.
He also retains an active role assisting the Massachusetts Family Institute (MFI) in public policy.
Previously, Alexandre was Assistant General Counsel and Public Policy Coordinator for the MFI in Boston. In this role, he provided counsel for MFI’s mission in the legal and legislative arenas to advance the sanctity of life, the dignity of traditional marriage, and religious liberty in the Commonwealth. Alexandre developed the Massachusetts Attorney Resource Council, a network of pro-family Massachusetts attorneys. Before his tenure at MFI, Alexandre worked for the Mayor of Worcester, Massachusetts, The Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs in Jerusalem, Israel as a Scholar in Residence, and the United States Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School. Alexandre earned his undergraduate degree from Ana Maria College in Political Science and Government and received his Juris Doctor from Liberty University School of Law. He is also a gifted singer whom we hope to hear at our evening campfires. Liberty Counsel is defending us pro bono with our Christian flag lawsuit against the City of Boston: https://lc.org/
And our featured instructor, Alex Newman
I first met Alex in May of 2015, a few days before the passing of Sam Blumenfeld. Sam and Alex co-authored Crimes of the Educators but never met in person. When Sam was on his deathbed, I called Alex and suggested that he pay Sam a visit before he passes. A Camp Constitution benefactor paid for Alex’s travel to Boston where he met Sam. The two were like old friends. Alex attended our 2015 but could only stay for a day. This year, he and his beautiful family will be with us for the week.
Alex is an American journalist and consultant who writes about economics, finance, banking, business, and politics for diverse publications in the United States and abroad. He studied journalism, economics and political science at the University of Florida. In addition to his own consulting firm, Alex has worked in market research, marketing, strategy, research, information gathering and consulting for international companies, non-profit organizations and various political campaigns. He is also the co-author of a book exposing some of the problems with today’s public education system.
We are now taking on-line applications for our 2020 camp which runs from Sunday July 19th to Friday July 24th at the Singing Hills Christian Camp and Conference Center in Plainfield, NH https://campconstitution.registration.payscape.com/
A full tuition for those 13 and older is $300., and 12 and under $200. Early bird discounts of $50. per person is available to those who register before June 1. In the discount code use “early bird.”
