Our State Conference will be in Belton on June 10th, same venue as last year, Summers Mill Inn.
Jun 10 all-day
We have booked Summers Mill Inn for lodging for ten rooms for the night of June 9, and for the State Conference all day Saturday, the 10th of June. Cost of the rooms are $96.12 apiece with all taxes included. You can find a room in town at a nearby motel, for the night at that price or higher.
It is YOUR responsibility to book your room and pay for it – in advance. I’ve asked them to pencil in these ten rooms as a guarantee, but as of today she still has a few empty rooms besides these. After these it will be first-come, first-serve.
Call Summers Mill at (254) 939.6194, ask for Judy, have your credit card ready. Or mail a check if you prefer.

How DO We Disestablish The U.S. Department Of Education?
Join the free 2017 conference call series focusing on the U.S. Department of Education, held by Founded On Truth.
On February 7, Representative Thomas Massie introduced HR 899. The bill is one sentence long and states that the U.S. Department of Education will be terminated on December 31, 2018. Representative Massie’s bill is a vivid reminder of the fact that there is no Constitutional role for the federal government in education.
From Founded On Truth:
In response, our first 2017 conference call series will focus specifically on the US DOE. In part one, Chairman Peg Luksik will explore how federal education dollars fit into overall education spending, including state and local dollars.
The conference will last no more than 30 minutes and will be available on the Founded on Truth web site for future playback. Although there is no cost for attendance, donations are greatly appreciated.
So mark your calendars for
- Tuesday February 28 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time
- Dial in number 641-715-3580
- Passcode 249850
And together, let’s begin to make the American vision of locally controlled schools a reality once again.

[question]6. Where is the phrase “separation of church and state” found?
[/question]
[wrong]the Declaration of Independence
[explanation]It is surprising how many Christians and conservatives get this one wrong. It must be from too many years of brainwashing by the ACLU. “Separation of church and state” is a phrase used in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association on January 1st, 1802. The Baptists were afraid Congress would establish a state denomination. Jefferson wrote to assure them the Constitution forbid the establishment of any denomination as the state church. On the other hand, we know Jefferson never intended to impede public religious activity, or expression because he not only signed bills appropriating financial support for chaplains in Congress and the armed services; he signed the articles of war in 1806 which urged soldiers to attend church services; he offered a National Prayer For Peace in 1805; and he wrote in a letter to Samuel Miller, in 1808, he viewed “the government of the US as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises.” (America’s God and Country, Federer, William J. 1994, FAME Publishing, pgs 324-28).[/explanation]
