KENTUCKY PARENT FILES COMMON CORE LAWSUIT~SEEKS INJUNCTION

David Adams, a parent from Nicholasville, KY, filed a lawsuit against the Governor Steve Beshear, Senate President Robert Stivers, the Kentucky Board of Education, Council on Postsecondary Education and Lawrence County Board of Education for “for declaratory and injunctive relief relating to Defendants’ acceptance of Common Core State Standards.”
As reported by Truth in American Education at:
http://truthinamericaneducation.com/common-core-state-standards/kentucky-parent-files-common-core-lawsuit/, below is the complete unedited lawsuit as reported:

Plaintiff, David Adams, for his Complaint against Defendants, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, acting through the Office of the Governor (“Governor”), and Governor Steve Beshear, in his official capacity as Governor of the Commonwealth, Senate President Robert Stivers, in his official capacity as President of the Senate, Roger L. Marcum, in his official capacity as Chairman of the Kentucky Board of Education, Robert L. King, in his official capacity as President of the Council on Postsecondary Education and Cassandra Webb, in her official capacity as chairwoman of the Education Professional Standards Board respectfully states as follows:
I. NATURE OF ACTION
1.  This is a civil action for declaratory and injunctive relief relating to Defendants’ acceptance of Common Core State Standards. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief in the form of a court order reversing Defendants’ illegal acceptance of Common Core State Standards and forbidding any continued action relating to same until such time as specific legislative approval is granted.
2.  Time is of the essence in resolving this issue because substantial public resources have been and are currently being devoted to implementation of Common Core despite a clear constitutional mandate intended to provide for an efficient system of common schools. Continued delay in limiting the state officials’ activities in this matter to within the scope of Kentucky law and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky sets a terrible precedent for ignoring constitutional  limits on executive and legislative branch authority to protect Kentuckians’ rights to seek and pursue their safety and happiness as explicitly guaranteed by the Kentucky Constitution.
3.  The judicial branch of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is the only remaining venue for redress available to Plaintiff.
4.  As a result of the actions of Defendants, Plaintiff respectfully seeks a temporary and permanent injunction against Defendants’ continued implementation of Common Core until such time as the General Assembly provides appropriate legislation to restore constitutionally mandated efficiency to the Commonwealth’s system of common schools.
II.  THE PARTIES
5.  David Adams is a taxpayer and citizen of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and parent of two students in Jessamine County Schools.
6. Governor Steve Beshear is sued in his official capacity as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
7. Senate President Robert Stivers is sued in his official capacity as Senate President of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and a member of the Executive Branch of government pursuant to Section 85 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
8. Roger L. Marcum is sued in his official capacity as Chairman of the Kentucky Board of Education.
9. Robert L. King is sued in his official capacity as President of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.
10. Cassandra Webb is sued in her official capacity as Chairwoman of the Education Professional Standards Board.
III. JURISDICTION
11. Jurisdiction is proper pursuant to KRS 418.040 and Kentucky Constitution Section 112 (5).
IV. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS AND BACKGROUND
A. Common Core State Standards
12. On February 10, 2010, Defendants announced acceptance of Common Core State Standards despite the fact the standards had not yet been written. Subsequent obligations of the Commonwealth related to Common Core could not be known then and still cannot in order to reasonably determine the efficacy for their implementation.
  13. The Constitution of the Commonwealth, in Section 183, places responsibility for providing an efficient system of common schools upon the legislature. The Kentucky Supreme Court clarified this to mean "common schools shall be monitored by the General Assembly to assure they are operated without waste, duplication, mismanagement or political influence." Rose v. Council for Better Education, Inc. (Ky. 1989) 790 S.W.2d 186. By failing to intervene when Defendants obligated Kentuckians to unspecified mandates, duties, responsibilities and costs related to Common Core, the General Assembly violated Section 183. 
V. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
14. Plaintiff seeks declaratory relief pursuant to KRS 418.040. Plaintiff seeks a judicial determination of the rights and duties of the parties with regard to an actual controversy arising out of Defendants’ acceptance of Common Core State Standards without sufficient knowledge or understanding of the costs of such action in violation of state law.
15. David Adams seeks injunctive relief relating to Defendants’ illegal acceptance and implementation of Common Core State Standards, namely reversal of such acceptance and implementation until such time as the General Assembly grants approval of same by appropriate legislation.
VI. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as follows:
1. Plaintiff requests the court enter a judgment declaring the legislature erred in failing to prevent acceptance and implementation of Common Core State Standards by Defendants and that such acceptance must be rescinded and that such implementation must cease and be reversed until such time as the General Assembly makes a determination by appropriate legislation specifically regarding efficiency in the Commonwealth’s system of common schools pertaining to standards, curriculum, best practices and testing.

Hotel Profiting from "Room-Service Abortions" in Albuquerque
Late-Term Abortion Capital of the US" to face historic late-term abortion ban Tuesday


"Arlington VA -- The pro-life organization has released a second investigative video, highlighting what Live Action President Lila Rose has coined "room-service abortions" -- and the hotels that profit off such sinister arrangements.
The new undercover recording released by Live Action features an investigator attempting to schedule a 25-week (six-plus-month) abortion appointment with Southwestern Women's Options, Albuquerque's notorious late-term facility. After specifying that the late-term abortion comprises a "week-long procedure," the staffer directs the investigator to the Plaza Inn -- "a hotel that we work in conjunction with" -- which offers room rate discounts and free transportation to and from all appointments.
Voters in Albuquerque, New Mexico will go to the polls this coming Tuesday, November 19, to vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks' gestation. Research shows that children in the womb are able to feel pain at this point in their development, if not sooner.
"Albuquerque residents going to the polls on Tuesday need to be really clear about what's going on here," Rose said. "Albuquerque is the late-term abortion capital of the world. We see late-term abortionists doing 'fly-ins' to perform these procedures -- dangerous for mothers, fatal for children -- and local hotels providing free shuttle service to and from the rooms where many of these women get holed up to finish out the gruesome destruction of their babies."
The Live Action video, titled "Room-Service Abortions in Albuquerque," shows definitively that the Plaza Inn is cooperating with Southwestern Women's Options abortionists to enhance revenues for both businesses.
"The Plaza Inn," Rose elaborated, "is more than willing to give discounts and free transportation to mothers about to have their children poisoned to death and torn apart. But you'll notice that the hotel refuses to transport these women to the abortion facility at the most dangerous point of the procedure -- in the middle of the night, when they might be in labor, delivering a dead baby over the toilet. How many other hotels -- in Albuquerque, and across the nation -- are profiting from these gruesome procedures? How many are offering discounts for death?"
In the undercover recording, the Plaza Inn staffer admits that under such circumstances, "you guys [SWO patients] actually transport yourselves[.] ... I think you wind up going to the hospital[.]"
Live Action reports releasing this second video to show voters the stakes on Tuesday. "It's already horrifying," Rose said, "that Albuquerque has a traveling circus of doctors who fly in and massacre late-term, viable, pain-capable babies. And now we know that 'cottage industries' are springing up to aid and abet these people in their multi-thousand-dollar child-killing business."
Rose implored voters to defy the well-funded pro-abortion organizations dumping money into the city. "Groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL may not be saying much about this vote, but that's because late-term abortion doesn't poll well. It never has. But they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to preserve this barbaric business. I pray that voters strongly reject keeping Albuquerque a hub of human rights abuses on Tuesday."
According to its website, the Plaza Inn, which boasts "the Best in Southwestern Hospitality," is associated with three other hotels in the region: the Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Colton/Riverside, CA; the Holiday Inn Express in Barstow, CA; and the Palmdale Hotel & Resort in Palmdale, CA.

Live Action is a youth-led movement dedicated to building a culture of life and ending the human rights abuse of abortion. The group uses new media to educate the public about the humanity of the unborn and investigative journalism to expose threats 
against the vulnerable and defenseless. More information at LiveAction.org.

SLEEZY ADS FOR OBAMACARE PROMOTE PROMISCUITY


"A sexually suggestive ad supporting ObamaCare has left plenty of Americans disturbed. The ad, released by the Thanks ObamaCare campaign (who is partnered with ProgressNow Colorado Education and the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative), has been railed at by multiple news outletsThis ad is a bad idea for many reasons. Among them – a rejection of a responsible lifestyle, a promotion of sex with anyone who qualifies as “hot,” a bare-minimum attempt at actually making the sex “safe,” and an objectification of women."
