AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
September 16, 2009
Issues (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)
1.) While We Were in DC Homosexual Activists Continued Pushing Agenda
2.) Senator Bob Casey Votes to Continue Funding ACORN
3.) Did you attend Saturday’s rally? Has your local newspaper reported on it?
4.) Bill to Repeal Federal Defense of Marriage Act Introduced
Details
1.) This past weekend as many were taking a stand against bigger government and other aspects of President Obama’s agenda, homosexual activists were busy strategizing to continue their push to redefine America. On Saturday and Sunday the Rainbow Pride Connection Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Conference was held at Chautauqua Institution, Chautauqua NY (just north of Erie). Additionally, the National LGBT Bar Association held their Annual Career Fair and Conference in Brooklyn, NY from September 10-12.
2.) Senator Casey was one of only seven Senators to vote to retain HUD funding for ACORN. Click here to read the news release issued by the AFA of PA yesterday morning.
3.) Has your local newspaper reported on the 912 March on Washington? If not, maybe you should help them out!
4.) Yesterday Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) introduced a bill to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). He already has 69 sponsors. Currently Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and openly homosexual Congressman Barney Frank do not support the bill instead opting to fully concentrate on other pro-homosexual bills like the misnamed bill the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Staffers say Nadler is expecting to get over 100 sponsors to force leadership to back his bill also.
Action Steps:
1.) Even as we revel in the fantastic 912 March and Rally on Saturday, we cannot let our guard down. The war for the heart and soul of this nation is far from over. H.B. 300 would add ‘actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity’ to the PA Human Relations Act. If your State Representative is listed as a co-sponsor, ask him or her to remove his name. If your State Rep’s name is not listed, call him or her and say ‘thank you for not supporting H.B. 300.’ Also, contact your State Senator and ask him to co-sponsor S.B. 707, the Marriage Protection Amendment bill, introduced by Senator Eichelberger. Click here to find contact information for your State Senator and State Representative.
2.) If you think it was a bad idea for Senator Casey to vote for continued funding of ACORN, give him a call. His contact info is here.
3.) If you attended the 912 March on Washington and your local newspaper has not reported on the event or reported in a very slanted manner, why not consider writing a letter to the editor to tell of your experience. Most newspapers have a 200 word limit, but your letter need only be a couple sentences long. Click here for the contact for most PA papers.
4.) Contact your Congressman and ask him or her to oppose the effort to repeal DOMA. This is the only law on the books that protects states from being forced to accept homosexual ‘marriages’ from another state. Click here for contact info.
