Church Gun Giveaway

Rev. John Koletas, of the Grace Baptist Church in Troy, N.Y., plans to raffle off an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle during a church service on March 23.

The AR-15, which can fire hundreds of rounds per minute, was used by Sandy Hook school shooter Adam Lanza and Aurora, Colo. theater shooter James Holmes.

“We’re honoring gun owners and hunters,” Rev. Koletas told the New York Daily News. “And we’re being a blessing and a help to people who have been attacked, viciously attacked, by socialists and anti-Christian people, the politicians and the media.”

Rev. Koletas did not provide evidence of these vicious attacks upon gun owners and hunters.

While Rev. Koletas supports the Second Amendment, he doesn't want others exercising their First Amendment right to voice opposition.

"If someone doesn't want to own a gun, that's their right," Rev. Koletas told the Times Union of Albany. "At the same time, I don't think we should be critical of legal gun owners who gave us our freedom."

Rev. Koletas' flyer for the gun giveaway shows an image of a AR-15 modified to meet New York's new gun-control law and includes the words of Jesus, "My peace I give unto you."

However, that Bible verse does not refer to guns, weapons or anything of this world.

Jesus says in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

After mangling the Bible verse, Rev. Koletas claimed it was those who oppose him who don't read the Good Book.

“[The giveaway] may be foreign to most city dwellers," stated Rev. Koletas. "It may seem controversial to people who don’t read their Bibles.”

Several area pastors do oppose the gun giveaway.

“I think it’s sending the wrong message entirely,” said the Rev. Willie Bacote, a pastor of Missing Link AME Zion Church.

“We promulgate the gospel as peacemakers," added Rev. Bacote. "We’re not people who give away guns. Even the Bible teaches us to turn the other cheek.”

World-renowned autism expert and CARD founder and CEO Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh will present the keynote address at the conference, speaking about effective, individualized treatment programs for those with autism spectrum disorder.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 07, 2014

Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) will host a free, comprehensive, one-day “CARD Colorado Autism Conference” on treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The event will help parents and caregivers of children with ASD learn about effective intervention solutions, strategic methods to address challenging behaviors and techniques to acquire insurance funding for autism treatment. Speakers include world-renowned autism expert and CARD founder and CEO Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD., BCBA-D, CARD chief strategy officer Dennis Dixon, PhD, and CARD director of contracts Bryce Miler. The conference will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at The Summit Conference and Event Center in Aurora, Colo., located at 411 Sable Blvd. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Attendees must register by March 27, 2014, at conference.centerforautism.com.

Attendees will learn about effective, individualized treatment programs for individuals with ASD that maximize skill acquisition and minimize challenging behaviors, with a focus on providing useful strategies that can be implemented in real-life situations. The conference will also cover insurance funding for autism treatment and allow attendees to ask questions to the panel of experts.

“We are excited to bring valuable resources to the many families in Colorado that are in need of effective treatment solutions,” said Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D. “This conference will provide parents and caregivers access to the information that will help individuals with autism reach their fullest potential.”

Colorado is one of the 33 states that now mandate coverage for behavioral therapies for the treatment of autism, and this conference will help parents understand how to access that coverage. The conference will provide valuable information about the Colorado mandate, the benefits that insurance companies are required to cover, and information about provider networks, pre-authorizations, and claim filing.

ABA is the only scientifically validated treatment for ASD, and research shows it is most effective when delivered early and at a high level of intensity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every 88 children in America is diagnosed with ASD, making it more prevalent than pediatric cancer, juvenile diabetes, and pediatrics AIDS combined.

Immigration Could Rock Republicans As Major Election Issue

$

AURORA, Colo. (AP) — If the apparent slow death of immigration legislation has any political repercussions this year, they probably will be felt in the subdivisions, shopping centers and ethnic eateries wrapped around Denver's southern end.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman represents this fast-changing district. He's among a few vulnerable Republican members in line to be targeted by immigrant rights advocates if the House doesn't pass an immigration bill before the November election that would offer legal status to millions of people who entered the U.S. illegally or overstayed their visas.

The issue is no easy solution for Democrats needing to gain 17 seats to win back the House majority. Democratic campaign officials are focusing on about two dozen GOP-held seats where immigration could be a factor, but they rank only nine in the top tier of possible pickups.

Immigration advocates acknowledge their impact on House races this year is limited. Most Republicans hold safe seats in districts with relatively low numbers of immigrants. Coffman is one of the most vulnerable incumbents, but the three-term lawmaker's shift on the issue illustrates the difficulties Democrats may have.

Coffman was elected in 2008 to succeed immigration firebrand Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. Coffman endorsed Tancredo in the 2010 governor's race, which he lost, and initially backed measures such as barring U.S. citizenship to children whose parents were in the country without legal permission. Coffman also supported allowing English-only ballots in districts with large immigrant populations.

But his district was redrawn to include immigrant-heavy Aurora. After seeing fast-growing Hispanic and Asian populations overwhelmingly back Democrats in 2012, Coffman embraced citizenship for people brought to the U.S. illegally as children. He announced his new position in Spanish.

Coffman stopped short of backing a broader proposal to legalize more of the people in the country illegally, but he was one of the few House Republicans at a recent party meeting in Maryland to urge his colleagues to pursue an immigration bill.

Seeing major divisions within the GOP and saying that Republicans don't trust President Barack Obama to enforce the law, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said last month that immigration legislation is unlikely to reach the House floor until after the election.

"The fact that immigration reform has disappeared kind of takes it off the table," said Floyd Ciruli, a nonpartisan Denver-based pollster. Coffman "is doing everything he can to make it a less salient issue," Ciruli said.

Obama took Coffman's district by 5 percentage points in 2012, while Coffman by only 2 points. One-fifth of the congressman's constituents are Hispanic, 10 percent are black, and political registration is evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans and independents.

"I'm still working for immigration reform," Coffman said in an interview.

Coffman says his change of heart on immigration dates from discussions with young people in the country illegally who cannot join the military or go to college.

"I really believe that the strongest expression of American citizenship is serving this country in uniform," said Coffman, a Marine Corps and Army veteran. He's proposed granting citizenship to any young person here illegally who enlists.

In addition to studying Spanish, Coffman has also spent time in his district's numerous other immigrant communities. Last month he visited an Ethiopian church. But he says he does not support an immigration bill passed by the Senate and prefers more steps to ensure the border is secure before granting legal status.

Some who question his sincerity note that last year Coffman voted to end Obama's policy of granting work permits to people brought to the country illegally when they were young. The step could have led to deporting some of the people Coffman wants to aid in his military bill. Coffman said he objected to Obama's putting the program in place on his own, and that he preferred Congress act.

"He's saying the right things and we welcome that," said Jesus Altamirano of the National Council of La Raza. "But he's telling us one thing and voting another."

Coffman remains a member of the Immigration Reform Caucus, a group founded by Tancredo that is steered by Republican congressmen who have been vocal opponents of letting those in the country illegally gain citizenship.

Support for a path to citizenship for those in the U.S. illegally is popular in Colorado. A recent poll showed 59 percent of the state's voters back it.

Republicans in other high-immigrant districts might be even more vulnerable. In California, U.S. Reps. Jeff Denham and David Valadao have signed on to a Democratic resolution urging House passage of the Senate's immigration bill. Denham announced his support on Spanish-language television.

Frank Sharry of the Washington-based immigration advocacy group America's Voice said the issue will be more formidable in 2016, when the presidential election is expected to bring out more Hispanic voters and there will be a clearer contrast on the issue.

But Sharry said that Republicans like Coffman are fair game. The message to immigrant and Hispanic voters, Sharry said, will be: "He's ineffective. He can't get his party to stop screwing you."

Izzy Santa of the Republican National Committee scoffed at the notion that immigration could be used against Coffman and others. "They're the members who are trying to move the issue forward," Santa said.

Republicans are going after Coffman's Democratic challenger, former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, on the issue.

The National Republican Congressional Committee released a Web ad last year chiding Romanoff for helping pass legislation in 2006 that Democrats boasted was the toughest package against illegal immigration in the country. The proposals barred people here illegally from receiving nonemergency benefits, and were criticized by some Republicans for not being stringent enough.

Democrats are frustrated at the attack. They say Romanoff has long supported immigration reform.

Indian music isn't all about Bollywood. There's also a fun, versatile edge to South India, which is explored through a unique once-a-month dance night titled 'Simbly South'. True to its name, it's loud, kitsch and loads of madness.Dubai is a city that glitters and sparkles all night long. Innumerable party rooms spin you into a trance with RnB, Rock, DnB, House, Pop, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Iranian or Bollywood tracks. And now, to add variety to that already impressive club line-up is a new exclusive genre that's exclusive to South Indian music. Yes, you heard it, right.

Indian music isn't all about Bollywood. There's also a fun, versatile edge to South India, which is explored through a unique once-a-month dance night titled 'Simbly South'. True to its name, it's loud, kitsch and loads of madness.

Tracks are handpicked from Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies, albums, remixed, and leaves Dubai's South Indian community wanting for more. A night where you can see women actually kicking their heels off, and letting their hair down to rock the floor. An event that takes place every First Friday from 10:30 PM onwards at Hues Boutique Hotel - Aurora Lounge & Terrace.

Simbly South is a packed night of 300+ pax with either theme nights or South Indian celebrities spotted at the club/lounge. Simbly South - Dubai's One & Only Chic South Indian Club Night, was launched in April 2013 with an intention to unite the south Indians under one roof swaying away to glory.

It's a brainchild of Dubai veteran Jim Thomas, who found a unique way to connect to his roots and the country he was born in. He termed it a new sub genre - Dravidian Massive Bass (DMB). He believes music has no language, and even if their is one, then learning new languages are great. Isn't it?

Clearly, Jim's proved that there's more to South India, than just the 'Lungi Dance'!

DJ DAVE ZOHBAA is the resident DJ of Simbly South [U.A.E's No.1 South Indian DJ] also a favorite DJ of Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra.

The New Year is about new beginnings and I'm excited to collaborate with Park Hyatt Chennai, and DJ Dave Zohbaa to create a perfect start to 2014! Energies will be at an all-time high as we move into 2014," Priyanka said in a statement.
