WHAT: Monthly Susquehanna Valley Conservatives Public Meeting
WHEN: Monday Sept 12, 2016 at 7:00 PM
WHERE: Baylor Conference Room – Best Western Country Cupboard Inn – north of Lewisburg along Route 15
PRESENTER/TOPIC: Bob Ritter will discuss the current push for an Article V Convention of States for Constitutional Amendments to 1) Require a balanced federal budget, and 2) Impose term limits on federal Senators and Representatives.
America is being crippled by out-of-control federal spending, federal debt (currently $ 20 trillion and rising), federal regulations, and a massive shift of power from the states to the federal government. There is no reason to believe future elections will materially change this. The situation is unsustainable therefore the states must consider their constitutionally-sanctioned option to prevent severe economic and social consequences as a result of runaway federal policies and actions.
During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the Framers recognized that the federal government being created could become so powerful and tyrannical that it would never initiate actions to re-establish original constitutional limits on its power. The Framers included Article V of the Constitution which authorized a process wherein the states, independent of Congress, can debate, adopt, and ratify amendments to the Constitution.
The Article V process provides that Congress shall call a convention to consider amendments upon the application of at least 2/3 (currently 34) of the states. If amendment(s) is/are adopted in convention, the amendment(s) would then go to the states for ratification, with an affirmative vote by at least 3/4 (currently 38) of the states required for ratification.
To learn more about this process go to the national website at www.conventionofstates.com.

What: Susquehanna Valley Conservatives monthly meeting
When: Monday March 14, 7:00 PM
Where: The Baylor Conference Room of the Best Western Country Cupboard Inn, just north of Lewisburg along Route 15.
State legislator Dr. Rick Saccone will be the featured speaker at the Monday March 14 meeting of Susquehanna Valley Conservatives. Representative Saccone will discuss legislation he is promoting that will codify displaying the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ in or on public buildings in Pennsylvania.
This is a topic that has strong local ties – Governor James Pollock, a Milton resident, was appointed Director of the U S Mint by President Abraham Lincoln, and it is due to his efforts that ‘In God We Trust’ appears on United States currency.
Representative Saccone serves the people of Washington and Allegheny counties. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and was a full-time professor at Saint Vincent College where he taught Political Science, Government, International Business and other international courses.
Rick has traveled to 72 countries; contributed numerous articles on international politics, business and culture to top national and international newspapers such as USA Today, the Baltimore Sun and the Korea Times. He has authored seven books on North and South Korea and one on Iraq. His ninth book was released in 2013 and chronicles the faith convictions of our nation’s founders and how they understood the relationship of God and government.

WHAT: Monthly Susquehanna Valley Conservatives Public Meeting
WHEN: Monday January 11, 2016 at 7:00 PM
WHERE: Cornerstone Christian Fellowship Church – Bull Run Crossing (Between Rts 45 and 192) just west of Lewisburg .
We will be showing the film “3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy”. This 56 minute documentary details the horrific story of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell.
Following the film, Michael Geer (Pennsylvania Family Institute) will discuss abortion in the United States.
We will be asking for a free-will donation – proceeds to be distributed between 2 local women’s resource centers – Expectations Women’s Center (Lewisburg) and Birthright (Sunbury).
The topic of this film transcends politics and ideology. It is a moral issue. It is about the same horrific crime repeated thousands of times over many years. It tells the story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell; perhaps America’s most prolific serial killer. Dr. Gosnell is now incarcerated for the abortion/murder of tens of thousands of babies at his ‘clinic’ in the Philadelphia area.
