AFA of PA ACTION ALERT     

June 11, 2008

1.)    Marriage Protection Amendment Update

2.)    Democratic Party Fully Supports Gay Pride Month

3.)    Human Rights Campaign Endorse Barak Obama for President

1.)    No progress to report on the Marriage Protection Amendment.  There has been much work behind the scenes and many phone calls and e-mails have been generated into Senators’ offices.  Thank you for your continued effort to get S.B. 1250 moved forward.  Time is running out, but let’s give it one more shot!  Today the Los Angeles Times had an article which again outlines the strategy of homosexual activists to redefine marriage in the United States – use the Courts.  Is anyone listening – especially the Senate Leadership in Harrisburg??  Click here to read our news release issued earlier today. 

2.)    On June 3^rd Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean issued a proclamation marking June as ‘Gay Pride Month.”   Among other things he is saying the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and hate crimes legislation needs to be passed.  He also says they need to work harder in stopping discrimination from being written into constitutions (meaning they need to work harder to stop marriage protection amendments from being passed on both the state and federal level).  Click here to read it. 

3.)    On Monday the Human Rights Campaign, the largest homosexual lobby group in the nation, endorsed Barak Obama for President.  Read Senator Obama’s February letter to LGBT supporters.   

ACTION NEEDED: 

1.)  Contact your State Senator and ask him or her to contact Senate Pro-Tempore Joe Scarnati and Senator Dominic Pileggi and ask them to move S.B. 1250 off the table. Also ask your Senator to vote to remove S.B. 1250 off the table and to vote for its passage, as is without weakening amendments.   If you know who your Senator is, click here for contact information.  If you don’t know who your Senator is, click here.  

2.)  Pray for America and the upcoming Presidential Election.
