1.) Kevin Jennings, Founder of GLSEN, Appointed to Department of Education

2.) MN Congresswoman Michele Bachmann introduces bill to defund ACORN

1.) On May 19^th Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the appointment of several do the U.S. Department of Education. The most disturbing one was Kevin Jennings. He is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network. He also served as its Executive Director until last fall, when he took a position in the Obama campaign to raise monies from America’s homosexuals to help elect Barack Obama to the Presidency. Remember the Gay Straight Alliance clubs in schools, of which there are many in Pennsylvania, were the brainchild of GLSEN and Kevin Jennings. Click here to see the result of GSAs in Massachusetts. Another brainchild of Jennings was the Gay Day of Silence held each year in middle and high schools around the country. Click here to read our news release for more details.

2.) Yesterday Congresswoman Bachmann introduced the Taxpayer Protection and Anti-Fraud Act which would prohibit any organization that has been indicted for violations of state or federal election laws from accessing taxpayer dollars through Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. Remember ACORN employees have been indicted in Nevada and Pennsylvania. (Additionally, if you want to track the 111^th Congress, Congresswoman Bachmann has a great website – click here.
