This is an excerpt from an article by Donald Wildmon, founder and chairman of American Family Association:

On June 3, the Democratic National Committee issued a 2008 Gay PRIDE proclamation supporting homosexual marriage. DNC Chairman Howard Dean and Representatives Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin released the proclamation.

Also, in a display of sheer arrogance, the California Supreme Court has refused to delay legalization of homosexual marriage until after the people of California have a chance to vote on the issue in November. Attorneys general from 10 states asked the activist judges to delay implementing their ruling, citing the millions of dollars in litigation it will cost their respective states and the legal chaos caused by the California Supreme Court.

These activist judges clearly showed their goal is to force homosexual marriage on every American. The only way America can protect itself from such radical judges is through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Homosexual activists are determined to use activist judges like those in California to force homosexual marriage on every American.

The one thing that all these liberals seem to keep overlooking is that first, and foremost, marriage by it’s very definition was first a religious institution all the way back to the book of Genesis in just about every translation of the Bible every made. This has been a man/woman institution for centuries! So that in and of itself makes this whole battle on their part seem preposterous. Historical documents dating back hundred or thousands of years show that societies considered homosexuality to be some sort of curse. Basic human instincts and conscience tell people, deep down, that this sort of “relationship” is completely unnatural.

By the very basic definition of marriage, homosexuals cannot join together in marriage. If these people wish to lead such a destructive and rebellious lifestyle, that is their choice. If they wish to join together in the semblance of a family relationship, that is their choice. If they wish to perform a civil union ceremony to ratify this, that is their choice.

However, when they wish to change the true definition of a centuries long religious institution, I must vehemently disagree. They say they wish to this so they can be “equal” and not feel “discriminated” against. It has been mentioned that we could just come up with something new, sort of a “gay marriage”, and call it a “civil union”. But no. They wouldn’t go for that. They insist that we must discriminate against those of religious persuasions so that they themselves don’t feel discriminated against. I have to ask you, what kind of sense does that make?

So now, the homosexual movement has gotten these liberal judges wrapped around their little fingers - convincing them to interpret or even re-write the law from the bench as they see fit. All this, despite the will of the people. This simply must STOP!

Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia has introduced the Marriage Protection Amendment of 2008 (H.J. RES. 89). This amendment would make marriage legal only between a man and a woman. I would encourage each and every reader to contact your congressional representatives asking him or her to co-sponsor H.J. RES. 89. This is very important. We must not continue to allow liberals/democrats to continue to destroy the freedoms of our country.

This is an article by Ken Blackwell, a columnist for the New York Sun. It is included as a warning to those whose friends may be considering voting for the dreaded Barak Hussein Obama.

It’s an amazing time to be alive in America ! We’re in a year of ‘firsts’ in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of the United States of America will, most certainly, be a first.

We won’t truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won’t arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and hi s politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August (unless Hillary Clinton drops out), Mr. Obama is now the front-runner, and it’s time America takes a closer and deeper look at him.

Some pundits are calling him ‘the next John F. Kennedy.’

He’s not. He’s the next George McGovern - and it’s time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single-most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. H e is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential front-runner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he’s not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of Ameri ca . But let’s look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial ‘beauty.’

Start with national security, since the president’s most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapon s in the 1940’s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk!

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on ‘the rich.’ How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, ‘All praise and glory to God!’ yet says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have ‘hijacked’ - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francisco values - not middle-America values.

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don’t start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of ‘bringing America together’ means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they’re talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama’s radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream and even to the left of Mrs. Clinton.

It’s time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of ‘firsts,’ let’s first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war!
