AFA of PA ACTION ALERT

October 23, 2009

Issues (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)

1.) Glassman – Jennings Tie Cannot Be Ignored

2.) Senate Passes Expansion of Hate Crimes Law

Details

1.) Stephen Glassman is currently the Chairman of the PA Human Relations Commission. He is a homosexual activist who co-founded the Statewide Pennsylvania Rights Coalition (SPARC) in the late 90’s. During that time he was also on the board of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN). Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s ‘safe schools czar, was the founder and Executive Director of GLSEN. This should be of major concern to all Pennsylvanians. Click here for more information.

2.) Late Thursday afternoon the US Senate passed the Defense Authorization Act which still had the hate crimes amendment as part of the final bill. Here’s the language to the hate crimes amendment – as you see there is no definition of ‘sexual orientation.’ So apparently this bill extends protections to many sexual orientations – click here for some examples. Here’s our news release.

Action Steps

1.) Contact Governor Ed Rendell and your State Senator to express your concerns about the ties between Stephen Glassman and Kevin Jennings. Ask the Governor and your Senator to immediately remove Glassman from the PA Human Relations Commission. Click here for Governor Rendell’s contact info. Click here for your State Senator.

2.) As you can guess both Senator Arlen Specter and Senator Bob Casey, Jr. voted ‘yea’ on the Defense Authorization Act with the hate crimes language. They were both co-sponsors of the Matthew Shepherd Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Did any of you receive a letter from them guaranteeing that Christians’ First Amendment rights would be protected? Consider calling their District Office nearest you and asking for an explanation for their vote to expand hate crimes legislation beyond anything it was ever intended to do.
