AFA of PA ACTION ALERT May 30, 2008 1.) Disney Gay Day Coming 2.) Cradle of Liberty Scout Council Sues Philadelphia – what can you do? 1.) Disney’s Gay Day is planned for June 7th this year. Share this information with anyone planning to go to Disney World that day! 2.) The City of Philadelphia has given the Cradle of Liberty Scout Council until May 31st to begin paying $200,000 annual rent for the headquarters they built and have maintained since 1929. To delay their eviction the Scouts have sued the City for discriminatory actions against the Scouts. Click here for more information. The Support Our Scouts Act of 2005 permits the Department of Housing and Urban Development to deny funds to any state or local government that discriminates against or denies Boy Scouts access to facilities they permit other groups to use. In 2005 Philadelphia received $62 million in HUD funding. The AFA of PA is contacting Pennsylvania’s nineteen U.S. Congressman and asking them to support the Scouts by asking HUD to deny funds to Philadelphia because of their discriminatory actions against the Cradle of Liberty Scout Council. Click here for our news release issued earlier for statistics and more information. ACTION NEEDED: 1.) Please contact your Congressman and ask him or
her to use the Support Our Scouts Act of 2005 and request that HUD deny
funds to Philadelphia because of their discriminatory actions against the
Cradle of Liberty Scout Council.
