The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) faxed and emailed both Senator Robert Casey and Senator Pat Toomey asking, ” Did you know that on page 174 of that bill there is a provision that will repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice which bans bestiality and sodomy in the military?”
Action Alert: No Prayer at World World II Memorial
December 7, 2011 // 0 CommentsCongressman Bill Johnson (R-OH) is the lead sponsor of HR 2070, the World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011. During a congressional hearing last month the Obama administration announced its objection to this bill which ” . . . direct(s) the Secretary of the Interior to install in the area of the World War II Memorial in the District of Columbia a suitable plaque or an inscription with the words that President Franklin D. Roosevelt prayed with the Nation on June 6, 1944, the morning of D-Day.” So . . . the President opposes this!

Today the United States Senate unsuccessfully voted on cloture for the nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, considered the second highest court in the land. Even though both of Pennsylvania’s US Senators claim to be pro-life, only one voted to reflect that label. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) is appalled that once again Senator Bob Casey, Jr., who campaigned and continues to label himself as pro-life, voted to confirm pro-abortion Caitlin Halligan.

Action Alert: Update on SB 732
November 22, 2011 // 0 CommentsThe delay in House action on SB 732 has been to attempt to make some reasonable accommodation of the State Senate’s position on the bill. House Floor Leader Mike Turzai said the House was attempting to make such an accommodation to avoid delaying SB 732 even further. Because when passed in the House and sent to the Senate they could amend SB 732 and thereby send it to a conference committee with even more delays than what have been occurring.
