1.) The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has its 2006 Corporate Equality Index posted on the website. Click here to read it. It is a 68-page PDF file so you may not be able to open it. Remember the HRC is, in its own words, “the largest national lesbian and gay political organization.”
After reviewing the HRC corporate list, below is a partial list of companies, products and services that have not caved into pro-homosexual pressure to diversify and embrace the homosexual lifestyle.
· Domino’s
· Kroger
· Toys R Us (and subsidiaries)
· Ore-Ida
· Bayer (includes Aleve)
· Avon
· Graco
· Barron’s
· Nissan
Additionally, Liberty
Counsel has developed a
“Naughty and Nice List’ of retailers and how they are responding to
Christmas this year.
2.) Child Porn is Apparently Being Aired During Delta Flights in
America! Recently Ray Comfort wrote an article “Good News for
Pedophiles” detailing the experience that he and Kirk Cameron had on a
Delta flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles. A movie that would have
thrilled pedophiles was being shown on the 20 or so screens on the
airplane!

ELECTION Wrap-Up:
Vote on House
Leadership Scheduled for Tuesday, November 14 - - - why so soon?
Vote on Senate Leadership Scheduled for Monday, November 20th
Click here for last Tuesday’s Pennsylvania election results.
It appears to be politics as usual in the State House in Harrisburg!
After last Tuesday’s election, the State Senate remains in the hands of Republicans (29-21) and the State House majority is still undecided. It rests on the final vote count in two undecided House races in Chester and Montgomery counties. The final vote count should come in several days. If Republican candidates hold on to their slim leads in those races, the GOP will retain its House majority, 102-101, and the committee chairmanships that come with it. Beyond reason, the Republican leadership in the State House feels compelled to hold House leadership elections TOMORROW before they even know if they have the majority!
In a news release issued today Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) outlined several reasons why the election for Republican House leadership should be postponed at least until December 1st. These are
1. The election results of November 7, 2006 have not even been certified.
2. The majority status of the House Republican caucus is still in question.
3. New members-elect should be shown the respect of being able to finish
their current employment with out having to take time off from work to
attend a leadership election that has been called for the
convenience
of current incumbent legislators.
4. New members-elect and incumbent members-elect deserve a
leadership election process that provides a sufficient amount of time to
hear from and consider all leadership candidates.
5. Members should not, and cannot be required to attend a meeting for a
leadership vote before they are even constitutionally in office, which is
December 1.
6. Any member that believes they have been disenfranchised by this
“business as usual” process would have reason to challenge the results
of the leadership elections.
7. Due to the hastily called leadership elections, it will be difficult
to even
provide this communication to the newly elected members because of
the time frame between last week’s election and the leadership
elections. This clearly makes it impossible for any newly elected
member to run for a leadership position for which they are clearly
eligible.
8. The rules governing leadership elections have not been distributed to all of the members of the Republican caucus.
FYI -- Senate Pro-Tempore Position Being Sought
Except for 16 months Senator Robert Jubelirer (R-Blair) had held this powerful position since 1984. Because of his support of the pay raise and an outstanding effort by pro-lifers in his district that knew what his real voting record was on pro-life issues, he was soundly defeated in the primary election by Blair County Commissioner Jon Eichelberger. Commissioner Eichelberger also won last Tuesday’s election.
Next Monday, November 20th, the State Senate plans on voting for their leadership.
Sen. Jeff Piccola of Dauphin County, the Republican whip, is in the forefront, seeking promotion to President Pro Tempore, the chamber's presiding officer. Also running is Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson).
Heads up on Senator Jane Earll’s Quest for a Senate Leadership Position!
Be aware that Senator Jane Earll (R-Erie) is seeking the Senate Majority Leadership position. (That is the one being vacated by outgoing Senator David Brightbill.) Earll is the Senator who in the Judiciary Committee, introduced the amendment that stripped the language from the Marriage Protection Amendment which would have outlawed civil unions. It was her effort, along with outgoing Senator Robert Jubelirer, that led to the defeat of the Pennsylvania Marriage Protection Amendment.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Please contact your State Representative and ask him or her to support Representative Metcalfe’s effort to get the leadership vote postponed until at least December 1st. Click here for contact information. If you do not know who your State Representative is, enter you nine-digit zip code in the upper right hand corner of that page.
2.) Also contact House Majority Leader Sam Smith (R-Jefferson) and ask him to postpone the House leadership vote until December 1st or later.
4.) Contact your State Senator and express your concerns that Senator Jane Earll is seeking the Senator Majority Leader position. Ask him or her to oppose Senator Earll’s efforts to become the Majority Leader. Click here for contact information. Again if you don’t know who your State Senator is, enter your nine-digit zip code in the upper right hand corner of that page.

Bills of Importance
As this legislative session winds down there will be a heightened effort
to get bills passed and sent to Governor Rendell’s desk for his
signature. Unfortunately, several of these bills are not
‘family-friendly’ bills. Especially note the two items listed below –
homosexual activists will be pushing hard to get these bills passed. We
cannot ‘breathe a sign of relief’ until the end of November, much damage
can be done during the lame duck session after the November 7th
elections.
But first we’ll look at attempts by the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) to add new childcare center regulations which would infringe on our religious liberties. They made this announcement even after the Commonwealth Court ruled that DPW had no authority to force religious childcare centers to be licensed, but only had authority over health and safety issues at such facilities. This was the St. Elizabeth’s case and the AFA of PA filed an amicus brief in support of religious childcare centers.
1.) the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) is currently looking at two new regulations
n require the licensing of all religious childcare centers and
n prohibit those receiving government childcare subsidies to use those subsidies at churches that refuse to be licensed by DPW.
These DPW regulations are currently in the Senate Public Health & Welfare Committee and the House Children & Youth Committee. If your State Senator or State Representative is on either one of these committees, urge them to not approve these new DPW regulations.
2.) Pennsylvania has the highest number of insured children in the nation at 96%, but Governor Rendell wants taxpayers to help pay for the health insurance of the 133,000 who do not have insurance – it’s called his “Cover All Kids Initiative” (over $2 million is in the new state budget to start this program). These are the children whose parents earn too much to qualify for the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, but cannot afford to purchase health insurance for their children.
CHIP provides free benefits to 143,500 PA children whose parents make too much to qualify them for Medicaid benefits, but with income less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Read this enlightening testimony of William Shaffer, Chief of Policy and Planning Department of CHIP and adultBasic, PA Insurance Department (especially concentrate on the numbers of children mentioned on pages 2 and 3).
Cover All Kids removes the upper income limit of CHIP (currently $70,000 for a family of four). Governor Rendell is putting pressure on the House and Senate to set his universal health care for children in motion – unfortunately something the leadership promised the Governor they would.
3.) On March 16, 2006 Senator Joe Conti introduced SB 912 which would add ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity or expression’ to the PA Human Relations Act – which pertains to housing, employment and public accommodation. There is a religious exemption as long as the religious organization does not receive any government funding (see Section 4, b), but it would force Christian landlords and employers to hire homosexuals, bisexuals and those who believe they were born in the wrong body (transgenders). It currently sits in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
4.) Last week, October 20, the companion bill to SB 912 was introduced in the House – HB 3000. It is currently in the House State Government Committee.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Contact your State Representative and State Senator (key in your zip code in upper right hand corner) and . . . .
n ask them to oppose these DPW regulations which would place restrictiv and unnecessary regulations on religious childcare centers. Additionally remind them that this would sidestep the legislative process and the Commonwealth Court has already struck down a similar attempt.
q You may also ask your legislators why we should help someone making over $70,000 a year to pay for health insurance for their children.
q If your State Senator is on the Senate Judiciary Committee, please ask him or her NOT to support S.B. 912.
q If your State Representative is on the House State Government Committee ask him or her NOT to support H.B. 3000.

3.) Even though this is a mid-term election, the outcome will set the direction of the nation on many issues – judicial nominees, embryonic stem cell research, homeland security, the war on terror, efforts to protect traditional marriage, enforcement of obscenity laws, illegal immigration, etc. In Pennsylvania because of the major turnover as a result of fallout from the pay raise, there will be about 50 guaranteed new faces in Harrisburg. In other words, this election is just as important as every other election.
If you are not registered to vote, PLEASE register and exercise your RIGHT TO VOTE. Deadline to register is October 10th – remember if you’ve moved or changed your name, you need to notify the Voter Registration office in your county.
If you are not going to be
able to vote in your district on Election Day, please contact your County
Courthouse Voter Registration Office and request an absentee ballot. They
will send you a postcard asking for your name, address and reason you will
not be able to physically go to the polling place. Return the postcard
and an absentee ballot will be mailed to you. The deadline for
receipt of the absentee ballot by the County Courthouse is November 3rd.
4.) Majority Leader Bill
Frist filed cloture Wednesday night on S. 403,
The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (to read the text of
the bill go to the Library of Congress
and key in S 403 in the ‘Search Bill Text’ window) . The cloture vote
will be TOMORROW, Friday, September 29th. We have to get 60 votes to keep
CIANA alive.
A similar bill passed the
Senate in July by a vote of 65 – 34. (Those Democrats who voted in favor
of the bill last time are Pryor (AR), Salazar (CO), Carper (DE), Bill
Nelson (FL), Inouye (HI), Bayh (IN), Landrieu (LA), Ben Nelson (NE), Reid
(NV), Conrad (ND), Dorgan (ND), Johnson (SD), Byrd (WV), and Kohl (WI)).
It is likely there will be strong pressure on these Senators to vote No on
cloture to thwart this legislation.
Call Senators Specter and Santorum and ask them to vote ‘yes’ on S. 403.
5.) Yesterday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a very disturbing story about the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Education partnering with the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
Note the last two paragraphs in the article – all graduate students in this program are required to attend workshops led by GLSEN trainees and on Saturday the Pittsburgh chapter of GLSEN will be holding a workshop instructing teachers and students on how to start GSA’s – Gay, Straight, Alliances – on their campus.
Graduates from the U Pitt’s Graduate School of Education are the future educators of our children and grandchildren . . . what will they be telling those students about the homosexual lifestyle – ‘gay is okay’ and ‘homosexuality is a civil rights issue’? Today the AFA of PA contacted University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark Nordenberg asking him to discontinue their partnership with GLSEN.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Prayerfully consider attending one of the conferences mentioned above . . . It will be a life-changing experience.
2.) Your vote is important . . . registration information by clicking here. Deadline October 10th.
3.) Important vote on the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act on September 29th!
**Contact Senator Specter at 202.225.4254 or e-mail using contact form by clicking here.
** Contact Senator Santorum at 202.224.6324 or e-mail using contact form by clicking here
Ask them to support S. 403. I would encourage you to call and e-mail both!

AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
1.) Ask Attorney General Tom Corbett to Appeal Third Circuit Court Decision on Alcohol and Nude Dancing
2.) Thank this Corry, PA church – the homosexual activists are outraged!
Last Tuesday a three judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Liquor Control Board law which forbade nude dancing and lap dancing at businesses with liquor licenses was unconstitutional . . . ruling that the law was too broad!
This decision plays right into the hands of pornographers who want no restrictions on what goes on in sexually oriented businesses. For fifty years -- until last Tuesday -- this law had successfully kept nude dancing and lap dancing out of businesses that offer liquor.
The AFA of PA has contacted Attorney General Tom Corbett and asked him to appeal this outrageous decision. Please join us in asking him to appeal last Tuesday’s decision.
Click here to read our news release.
Also, would you consider dropping a quick note of
thanks to a New Life Assembly of God Church in Corry, PA which has chosen
to publicly take the Biblical stand that homosexuality is sin? We found
this
bit of news on the Erie Gay News website . . . but, needless to
say, they are not asking their readers to send a note of thanks to the
church!
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Please contact Attorney General Tom Corbett and ask him to appeal the Third Circuit Court decision on nude dancing in places which have liquor licenses. Click here for his contact information.
2.) Please contact the New Life Assembly of God in Corry, PA and tell them thanks for making the politically incorrect statement that homosexuality is sin! Here’s the contact information:

Philadelphia Phillies Fourth Annual Gay Community Night
Friday, August 18th is scheduled to be the fourth annual Gay Community Night at the Phillies home game with the Washington Nationals.
The AFA of PA has contacted the Phillies asking them how they can continue supporting the Boy Scouts Explorer Program as well as those who are trying to evict the Scouts from their Philadelphia headquarters. In our e-mail we asked them to consider making this the last Gay Community Night. Click here to read our news release for more information.
Additionally, they have changed their Guest Code of Conduct policy. It now prohibits certain ‘fighting words’ on banners . . . especially note section v. Here’s their new policy:
“ . . . banners and signs may not bear a message that (i) is slanderous, (ii) is obscene, vulgar or indecent and inappropriate for viewing by children, (iii) contains "fighting words" likely to provoke a breach of the peace, (iv) contains commercial advertising or commercial product or service identification, or (v) contains derogatory matter relating to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, marital status, or age.
This will directly affect the ability of Christians to protest Phillies Gay Community Night. Remember during the preliminary hearings of the Philadelphia Eleven in 2004, the Philadelphia City Prosecutor called the Bible ‘fighting words’! Will the Phillies consider Scripture ‘fighting words’ also?
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Please consider contacting the Phillies to express your concerns. Choose how you’d like to contact them:

Three PA Congressmen Allow Men Dressed as Women to Come to Work . . . .
At least that’s what their signature on the Gender PAC/Human Rights Campaign Diversity Statement will allow!
It has come to our attention that Congressman Robert Brady (D – 1st), Congressman Mike Doyle (D – 14th) and Congressman Jim Gerlach (R – 6th) have signed onto a Diversity Statement from Gender PAC and the Human Rights Campaign. These groups are two radical homosexual rights groups.
Additionally, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) worked against H.B. 2381 – the Pennsylvania Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA). Click here to read their letter to the PA House asking them to vote ‘no’ on H.B. 2381. According to their website, the HRC helped defeat the MPA by “organizing trainings and rallies, visiting with state legislators, generating calls, emails and faxes to the statehouse, and participating in lobby days with HRC members, HRC focused on helping to stop this amendment in its tracks.”
They also contributed $10,000 to get the hate crimes bill passed in 2002 and worked with Erie County homosexuals to force the County to pass a Human Relations Ordinance with ‘sexual orientation.’ In 2002 they contributed $4,000 toward lobbying for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issued in Harrisburg.
If that organization isn’t radical enough, Gender PAC is even more radical! Recently they supported the parents of a 5-year old Florida boy who want to enroll him in kindergarten as a girl!
Gender PAC's own definition: "Gender identity refers to an inner sense of feeling masculine or feminine. Gender expression is how a person manifests that feeling through how they look, act, or dress."
Please consider contacting the three PA Congressmen who have signed onto this Diversity Statement.
You may want to remind them that there was a situation in Carbon County, PA where a male prison guard decided he was transgender and began coming to work dressed as a woman. He was fired, but because of the prison union being from Allentown (which had added 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' to their Human Relations Ordinance in 2002), the guard sued and was reinstated. Our news release brought up the questions of strip searches, locker room and restroom usage!

Philadelphia Poised to Oust the Boy Scouts from Headquarters
For three years the City of Philadelphia has threatened to renege on an agreement made with the Boy Scouts back in 1928. At that time the City Council voted to allow the Scouts to use about a half acre piece of land rent free in perpetuity. In the ensuing years the Cradle of Liberty built their headquarters on the land and, although they use it rent free, they pay for the upkeep of the building. Because of the Scouts policy of not allowing open homosexuals to be Scout leaders, the City is saying pay rent or be evicted.
Three years of negotiation have apparently gotten them nowhere . . . so the Scouts once again face the threat of eviction. The Cradle of Liberty serves 87,000 young men in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware Counties. Click here for more information in the news release we issued earlier today.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Please contact Mayor John Street and ask him to allow the Scouts to continue their work with the 87,000 boys in the City of Philadelphia and in the surrounding area. To divert funds from much needed programs to pay rent would have a detrimental affect upon the well-being of these young men. Mayor Street’s contact info: 215.686-2198 or e-mail mayor@phila.gov
2.) The Cradle of Liberty Scout Council could use a word of encouragement! William Dwyer is the Scout Executive. His number is (215) 988-9811 x.115 or e-mail at wdwyer@colbsa.org

One Year Anniversary of ‘Gay’ Historical Marker Approaches; AFA of PA Historical Marker Nomination of Philadelphia Eleven Rejected!
On June 30, 2005, as you may recall, the AFA of PA received a late afternoon call (4:15 p.m.) from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). This call was in response to a request voiced by Diane Gramley during a PHMC meeting on June 15, 2005 in Harrisburg. At that meeting I reiterated our objections to the proposed ‘gay’ historical marker. They ‘could’ not address any of my concerns, but did say they would call me when they knew the date the marker would be unveiled. The 4:15 p.m. phone call was to let me know that the historical marker would be unveiled at 10:00 a.m. the next morning in Philadelphia. The unveiling would be during an invitation only ceremony and the AFA of PA was not invited!
Last December the AFA of PA nominated the Philadelphia Eleven for an historical marker. Numerous media sources had documented their arrests and hate crime charges for singing choruses and reading Scripture as the first in the nation. Our nomination of these Christians was rejected by the PHMC. Read our news release for more details.
As this one year anniversary approaches, why not consider calling Barbara Franco, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and let her know your thoughts on the presence of this ‘gay’ historical marker across the street from Independence Hall!
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) Please call Barbara Franco, Executive Director of the PHMC, at (717) 787-3362 or e-mail at bfranco@state.pa.us or Karen Galle, Historical Marker Program Coordinator, at kgalle@state.pa.us and ask her whether this historical marker is appropriate.

Ask
Your Senators To Support the Original Language of H.B. 2381 and to
Reject the Earll Amendment
Yesterday’s 9 to 5 vote in the Senate Judiciary
Committee to support the weakening language of the Earll Amendment must
be opposed. The amended
language is “Only a
marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid
or recognized as a marriage in this Commonwealth.” Remember
this clears the path for civil unions to be legalized in Pennsylvania. Homosexual
activists who attended the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting yesterday
responded with a resounding round of applause when the weakening Earll
amendment passed . . . further indication that this must be opposed.
Senators John Gordner, Stewart Greenleaf, Jane Orie,
Jeff Piccola and John Rafferty voted against the compromising amendment.
Senators Gordner, Greenleaf and Orie spoke gallantly defending
the original language of H.B. 2381 during the Committee meeting.
Senator Gordner especially needs to be commended as he took the
lead during the debate. Only
Jane Orie voted against sending the amended H.B. 2381 to the full Senate
for a vote. They all need to be thanked for their bold stand to defend
marriage against overwhelming odds.
It should also be noted that not only did Senator
Robert Jubelirer vote for the amendment, but he spoke in defense of the
Earll Amendment. Remember,
he as Senate Pro-Tempore is a voting ex-officio member of every
committee in the Senate. His
verbal support and vote to weaken the amendment gave wavering Senators
the green light to vote for the Earll amendment.
In news
accounts he claims the issue is too complicated for Pennsylvania
voters to understand. I
believe Senator Jubelirer underestimates the intelligence of the voting
public!
In a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article today Senator Jane Earll calls the attempt to pass a Marriage Protection Amendment ‘fighting hypothetical ghosts.” She needs to understand that these ‘hypothetical ghosts’ are challenging the marriage laws in New York, Washington state, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Georgia and Maryland! Pennsylvania needs to take action now to stop it from happening here!
ACTION
NEEDED:
1.) Please
contact Senators John Gordner, Stewart Greenleaf, Jane Orie, Jeff
Piccola and John Rafferty and tell them thanks for voting to defend
traditional marriage, and to ban civil unions. Click
here.
2.) Contact your State Senator and ask them to support the original language of H.B. 2381. Pennsylvanians do not want to open the door for civil unions to be legalized and that is exactly what the amended H.B. 2381 will do. Click here for contact information for your Senator.
