15 Sep 2004 Family research Council Rant |
I'll be moving in the next week or so, and the phone company tells me it'll
take 3 weeks to move my DSL service, so copies of this nonsense won't be
coming for a little while.

Hurricane Won't Stop Saturday's Marriage Vote
Citizens in my home state of Louisiana will vote on a constitutional
amendment defining marriage this Saturday in spite of Hurricane Ivan, which
is bearing down on the area. FRC Action--the legislative action arm of
Family Research Council--has been assisting the Louisiana Family Forum with
get-out-the-vote and educational activities in preparation for this
important vote. The Marriage Protection Amendment would clearly define
marriage in Louisiana's constitution as the union of one man and one woman.
Legislators in Louisiana placed this amendment on the ballot after
recognizing the need to give the people a voice in this important debate.
Voters should decide the fate of marriage in Louisiana, not unelected
activist judges.
FRC Action has helped to promote the Marriage Protection Amendment by
producing a radio ad and coordinating phone banking efforts and email
campaigns to remind voters about Saturday's pivotal vote. The Marriage
Protection Amendment would also prevent courts from being forced to
recognize same-sex "marriages" and civil unions performed in other states,
and it would prohibit granting the benefits of marriage to domestic
partnerships. A marriage amendment passed overwhelmingly in Missouri on Aug.
3 by 71 percent, and similar overwhelming results are expected in Louisiana.

marriage.

Former Senate Aide Continues Fight for Truth
Manny Miranda, a former aide to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and FRC
friend, has taken the offensive in the unfair attack he and his family have
suffered over the use of files obtained from the committee's computer
system. Last year, you may remember, Mr. Miranda legally accessed shared
computer files containing Democratic memos concerning the Democrats'
strategy to block some of President Bush's judicial nominees. The substance
of the files implicates Democratic leadership in shameful action, but that
fact received little notice, and the tables were turned on Mr. Miranda.
Their use of the confirmation process to pursue political ideology should be
the focus of any investigation, but instead Mr. Miranda has become the
object of a criminal investigation for actions that were both legal and
ethical.
His family and career have suffered in the last months because of the legal
proceedings, so now, in the hope of ending his nightmare, he has filed a
lawsuit to have the investigation against him ended. I hope his efforts move
the investigation to its proper place, the unethical actions of Senate
Democrats, not the good work of legal action by a Senate aide.
"Outrage" Tops Bestsellers on Same-Sex "Marriage"
Just a few weeks after its release, "Outrage: How Gay Activists and Liberal
Judges are Trashing Democracy to Redefine Marriage" has become the
best-selling book in the country on the all-too-current issue of homosexual
"marriage." "Outrage" is first in its category on Amazon.com. Peter Sprigg,
FRC's Senior Director of Policy Studies and the director of our Center for
Marriage and Family Studies, has written the one book needed to bring sense
out of the "same-sex marriage" debate.
He debunks the notion that homosexual "marriage" is a civil rights issue and
clearly answers the question, "What harm would it do?" Finally, he explains
why a liberal judicial elite has left an amendment to the U.S. Constitution
as the only sure way to preserve marriage. Since it was distributed to every
delegate to the Republican Convention, every member of the Arlington Group
coalition, and to family policy councils around the country, "Outrage" has
become the indispensable guide for pro-family forces. Order your copy today
from the FRC website at the link below.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen our buddy Pat Robertson with his usual
'...gawd's pissed at [religious right's boogeyman du jour]' rhetoric. You'd
think that with three big hurricanes in a row, he'd have come up with
something by now.

Odd how God controls the weather in some circumstances and not others...
Say, did the FRC note the chaos of Florida's little decision? And Ivan
shows up on the eve of said vote... Coincidence?
Manny Miranda,
Oh *this* is *too* funny! Say, Mr. Miranda, "You have the right to
remain silent..." <LOL!>

The danger for what the press derisively calls the 'Religious Right' is that they are making the same mistakes the religious left made. To solve the moral problems of the nation they are looking to government rather than the Creator of their faith and His strategies.

I was just thinking, I haven't heard any comments or predictions
from Pat Robertson this storm season. I guess he's not hearing
anything from God?
