Mr Ice Cream Glove: Apr 22, 2007

National Org of Marriage always does fundraisers to keep them running. Well about that...

First Email

quote:

NOM began our critical Summer Membership Drive on July 22nd. We�re now three weeks into our drive � the halfway point � and we have only received 256 contributions from our members. We�re only 17% toward our goal of receiving 1,500 membership contributions of at least $35. That is pathetic.

Unless this situation improves drastically right away, NOM will have little choice but to cut some of the critical programs we have underway and not pursue some of our most important work to protect you and other supporters of marriage from being targeted by LGBT extremists and their allies in government.

We can�t influence Congress to pass the First Amendment Defense Act if only 17% of our people help. We can�t persuade courts to uphold religious liberty laws and protect supporters of marriage from being sued, fined, fired or even jailed for refusing to be personally complicit in the lie of same-sex �marriage� if only 17% of our people help.

We can�t fight President Obama�s dangerous gender �identity� agenda with only a 17% participation rate. And we can�t effectively educate the American people about the issues, or establish a grassroots network, or work with allies in the states if only 17% of our supporters are willing to step up.

I really don�t believe � I just can�t imagine the thought � that NOM�s members have quit fighting for the institution of marriage as a union between man and woman. And yet, only 256 of you have responded with an urgently needed membership contribution during this critical period.

I�m going to be blunt: we need 1,500 people to step up with a membership contribution of at least $35 in order to raise the $52,500 we�re short so far this year. Without that type of response, we�ll have no choice but to lay people off, cut programs and stop pursuing some of our most important work.

NOM is the only organization in America that is solely dedicated to fighting for marriage and the faith communities that sustain it. That means if NOM has to scale back, the fight for marriage and religious liberty is seriously weakened.

It means that we may not be able to organize and mobilize the millions of marriage supporters in America to lobby the next President and the US Senate to only appoint and confirm Supreme Court justices who will reverse the illegitimate and anti-constitutional ruling redefining marriage.

So much is at stake, and yet only 256 of you have stepped forward thus far to help ensure we are able to continue our critical work. The fight for marriage and religious liberty sits on a knife-edge, teetering between preservation and devastating loss.

Today's Email is just poetry

quote:

I imagine that Anthony Kennedy, the Supreme Court justice who wrote the opinion a year ago redefining marriage, will be laughing out loud to himself realizing that the most passionate supporters of marriage � NOM�s members who love the Lord and who revere what He created � seem to be giving up.

Who could blame Anthony Kennedy if he thinks that God lost and he won?

I really don�t believe � I just can�t imagine the thought � that NOM�s members have quit fighting for God�s institution of marriage. And yet, only 256 of you have responded with an urgently needed membership contribution during this critical period.

NOM�s purpose for existing � the reason we created it � is to fight for God�s authorship of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. We�re going to fight as long as we are able, but that is only as long as you are willing to follow God�s Word and fight alongside us.

Tony Perkins house was destroyed by floods in LA. Had to escape by canoe

quote:

An opportunity for Christians to rejoice that God considers them �worthy of suffering for his sake.� And to �use this as an incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.�

To say this is a big loving deal is an understatement

It is huge because this was not the only person being investigated on this kidnapping. Matt Staver and Liberty Counsel played a role

And this happened yesterday

quote:

A federal court ruled that the conclusion of the criminal cases means that Liberty University, Liberty Counsel, and Mat Staver can now be included in the civil RICO suit filed years ago by Janet Jenkins, Isabella’s other mom. Two years ago Liberty University’s tort insurer ruled that their policy will not cover any monetary damages which may result from the RICO suit.

Oh gently caress off Karen

quote:

An email telling teenage pages that “there are cross-dressers in the building” caused a noon-time furor in the Capitol on Monday. The email, by a House staffer who oversees the page program, was apparently prompted by the visit of about 70 LGBTQ students from the Tulsa area who were lobbying mostly on behalf of HIV awareness and education funding and support. Their presence prompted Karen Kipgen [inset], supervisor of the page program, to arrange for pages to use private staff and member restrooms.

Kipgen also sent a mass email saying “As per the Speaker’s office, Pages are being allowed access to the ladies restroom across from 401, for today. Again, there are cross-dressers in the building.” Speaker Charles McCall’s office quickly disavowed the message, saying it was not approved by McCall nor any of his immediate staff. “Never have I felt so unsupported,” said Pickles Lee, 18, a senior at Owasso High School. “This email sort of escalated everything.”

Who she is facing off against

Bob Marshall

quote:

In December 2016, Marshall introduced a resolution calling porn a “public health hazard like smoking.” In December 2015, Marshall introduced a bill to override federal LGBT protections. In November 2014, Marshall badly lost his bid for the US House despite a glowing endorsement from Phyllis Schlafly. In June 2014, Marshall claimed that all charities will lose their tax exempt status following the legalization of same-sex marriage. In February 2014, Marshall filed an amendmentthat would grant Virginia state legislators the right to claiming standing in marriage lawsuits. In September 2013, Marshall petitionedthe US Supreme Court to overturn Virginia’s legalization of sodomy. In May 2012, Marshall attempted to block the appointment of an openly gay state judge because the nominee has “an illegal husband.” In 2011, Marshall claimed it is a felony for a state office to fly the rainbow flag. Marshall has also called on Virginia to issue its own currency, and has claimed that God punishes women who have abortions by giving themdeformed children. After the DADT repeal bill passed, Marshall tried tohave gays banned from the Virginia National Guard.

Perfect woman to take him on.
