NEWS ITEM: Same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional – Louisiana judge tosses amendment despite approval by 78% of voters [WorldNetDaily–Oct 5] Unbelievable action by another state’s out-of-control judiciary. No constitutional amendment can stop this huge problem – it needs to come from the people themselves. And it needs to happen here.
NEWS ITEM: Local, national activists set their sights on nondiscrimination protections [Bay Windows (Boston homosexual newspaper)–Sept. 23] A look into the future, if we lose control of our Legislature on Nov. 2. Yes, you’re seeing draconian “transgender” laws ready to be pushed by the homosexual movement.
AND IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Do you want this person making your laws? The man who defiled the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston by disrupting Mass with his homosexual “partner” is about to become a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. This is what happens when we don’t take this fight seriously! === 1. Where it counts – fundraising challenge.
=== THE ARMEGEDDON PROJECT. Is that too strident a term? We don’t think so. If the homosexual lobby is successful in changing our Legislature, and virtually controlling it through fear and intimidation, then the kinds of things mentioned above are only the beginning. How bad do things look?
For example, Rep. Phil Travis (D-Rehoboth), sponsor of the Constitutional Amendment to preserve marriage (and supporter of the Bill of Address) is being targeted by a pro-gay marriage Republican who is getting SPECIAL help from the Romney Administration AND (we are told) about to get huge funding & support from MassEquality, a major homosexual lobby. That’s right, the Republicans and gay lobby joining forces to defeat the major pro-traditional marriage legislator on Beacon Hill! So, who’s going to help Rep. Travis?? We are!!
And that’s only one of dozens of races that could go south, without some real help. We were able to help 6 out of 7 pro-family reps who were targeted in the Sept. 14 primary withstand the enormous money and organization their challengers got from the homosexual movement, and keep their seats.
But the real challenge is now. The gay movement has raised a LOT of money, and is bringing in more activists from out of state. And they’ve just finished an even bigger calling center in downtown Boston, to get out the vote. And they’re holding “youth training” sessions across the state to recruit help. Let’s be blunt. We need to raise $100,000 in the next three weeks if we want to have any effect at all. Keep in mind that’s probably a tenth of what the homosexuals will pour into the races. And that doesn’t include Republican and Democratic party money helping pro-homosexual candidates. But with $100,000 this can be stopped. Educating the public with the truth, and mobilizing people, can be enormously effective, we found out on Sept. 14. This movement needs your financial help now.
And more than that, can you (and your friends) organize a fundraising event? A coffee? A spaghetti dinner? A house party? How badly do you want this to succeed? Remember, freedom isn’t free.

=== 3. More editorial commentary. ===
Not to harangue you, but we can’t stress enough how crucial this period of time is. If we lose big, the floodgates will open. Just look at the California legislature, which just passed a law (signed by the Republican governor!) lowering age of consent for homosexual sex to 14. Don’t think it can’t happen here. Thomas Jefferson and the other founding fathers said over and over again that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Unless the average person gets involved in his government, special interests will take over and a democratic society will become despotic and tyrannical. Don’t think it can’t happen here. You must get involved. You cannot stand on the sideline. Your help is needed. Even if you can only make phone calls from your home. Even if you can do just a little bit every day. Or CONTACT US. From the latest email sent to homosexual activists across Massachusetts:
The homosexual movement is moving forward. Here’s just a snippet from their latest daily email:
The efforts of volunteers like you will be crucial to our success. We urgently need your help. This week, MassEquality must send a huge amount of mail to activate our members in targeted districts.

(Remember, all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.)
AS WE’VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG – IT’S UP TO THE PEOPLE NOW! THIS CAN AND WILL BE WON.
