From the evil anti-gay Article 8 Alliance in Massachusetts
Date: Tue, 3 May 2005
From: Article 8 Alliance <[email protected]>

Article 8 Alliance – Massachusetts – ** May 3 Email Update **

It’s gone too far: Statewide movement to remove the SJC 4 and take back our government.
Same-sex marriage in Massachusetts CAN be stopped.

(Feel free to pass this along to others)

In this email update:

1. Article 8 exclusive, full coverage: Lexington parent, David Parker, handcuffed & arrested over objections to homosexual curriculum in child’s kindergarten! Unbelievable outrage!

2. Don’t miss it: David Parker to appear on national television Wednesday & Saturday!

3. Statewide rally for Parker planned, show of support! The message: This MUST NOT be allowed to happen in America!

4. Lexington School Committee abruptly CANCELS Tuesday night’s public meeting; massive protest by parents was planned.

5. You’ll love this: WGBH TV Host Emily Rooney in trouble with gay activists for treating Article 8 fairly on last week’s show!

6. Work opportunity at Article 8!

7. Update on our $50,000.00 challenge! (Your help needed more than ever.)


Lexington, Mass., father of 6-year-old arrested, spends night in jail over objections to homosexual curriculum in son's kindergarten class.

Had demanded that school inform him and allow child to opt-out; superintendent refused.

Father brought to court Thursday in handcuffs, scolded by judge. Had been refused opportunity to call a lawyer, so did not have legal counsel at hearing!!



WEDNESDAY 6:30 PM - Lexington parent David Parker, in handcuffs, is taken through back door of police station into jail.

Read press release and parent's statement to press.

Read Today's Boston Globe article describing incident

Governor Romney Supports Parent
The governor's statement on Thursday: "We have in Massachusetts a parental notification statute specifically in matters related to human sexuality. If a parent wants to be informed of what is being taught in a classroom and wants to have their child withdrawn from the classroom for that portion of the class dealing with human sexuality, that parent has the right."

Here's the book that started all:

Near end of meeting school officials "negotiated" an agreement with parent, then superintendent refused to sign it; had parent arrested instead.

Letter given to father at hearing, from Superintendent, banning him from all school property!
http://www.article8.org/docs/news_events/parker/supt_letter.pdf

Read the Massachusetts Parental Notification Act which the school is ignoring. In this case, the Superintendent claims that homosexuality is not about "human sexuality issues" but "real life" that must be taught to kids.

UNBELIEVEABLE . . . MORE TO COME !!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Public hearing for Bill of Address a HUGE SUCCESS despite efforts by homosexual lobby and late notice by Committee!
The Joint Judiciary Committee is the first step for removing the rogue SJC judges who imposed same-sex “marriage” on America, and beginning on the road to reversing the decision through Constitutional means. It’s also the last thing that Massachusetts legislators want to deal with these days. And the homosexual lobby wants it to stay that way. Not if we have anything to say about it.

Boston “mainstream” homosexual newspaper publishes revolting, anti-Catholic articles on day of Pope’s funeral.
Well, Bay Windows is at it again. The newspaper published a series of revolting anti-Catholic articles on the day of the Pope’s funeral.
Yes, this is the same "newspaper" that all those Catholic politicians seek the endorsement of at election time.

Check out the official Massachusetts Marriage License NOW being used!
(And which the Governor had printed up right in time for same-sex "marriages" to begin last May 17.) Does it surprise you we're the laughing stock of North America?
http://www.article8.org/mass_marriage_license.htm

Another Romney cave-in. Last May, two days before the infamous same-sex marriages began to happen, our governor delivered a gift to the homosexual movement (and a slap in the face of parents) by sponsoring a taxpayer-paid gay youth parade in downtown Boston. And he officially proclaimed May 15, 2004 as "MASSACHUSETTS GAY/STRAIGHT YOUTH PRIDE DAY".

We'd bet that ole Gov. Romney doesn't pass this around down in South Carolina!

Homosexual lobby presents their goals for 2005 at statewide gay strategy session. Pretty frightening stuff.

LETTER FROM REP. PARENTE TO SPEAKER:
Written during last session: Allow a vote on the bill of address!
http://www.article8.org/parente_letter.htm


=== 2. Don’t miss it: David Parker to appear on national television Wednesday & Saturday! ===



This obscene, outrageous incident has really caught fire across the country.



We’ve been doing radio programs in several states, including Florida, Connecticut, Arkansas, Mississippi, and others. And probably every radio and TV station in the greater Boston area has prominently covered this.



Here’s a few upcoming national appearances you shouldn’t miss:



Wednesday, May 4 11:00 am EDT

Fox News (National) will be interviewing David Parker live, and also an “opponent.”



Wednesday, May 4 10:00-11:00 pm EDT

MSNBC “Scarborough Country” will be interviewing David Parker live.



Saturday, May 7 8:00-9:00 pm EDT

Guest on Fox channel’s “Heartland” with John Kasich







=== 3. Statewide rally for Parker planned, show of support! The message: This MUST NOT be allowed to happen in America! ===



This man must be supported!



We are now in the process of planning a giant, statewide rally of support for the man who finally stood up and said enough – who was willing to go to jail on a principle. People must expres their outrage that a government is willing to throw a man in jail rather than let him intervene when his local school is pushing homosexuality on his kindergarten-age son.



One of the first things that hit us was the huge outpouring of support for David Parker, not only from Massachusetts but all over the country. People actually called our office insisting that a rally, or some outlet for support, be available.



A committee has been formed and several locations are being considered.



Watch this space for more information on time, date, etc!





=== 4. Lexington School Committee abruptly CANCELS Tuesday night’s public meeting; massive protest by parents was planned! ===



Nowhere is the outrage more intense than in Lexington, the town where this happened.



Coming on the heels of an extremely militant forced pro-homosexual “Day of Silence” in April, where one student who wore pro-marriage stickers was assaulted and others were threatened, and parents who protested were shouted down – this is another match for that powder keg.



A massive protest was planned for tonight’s (Tuesday, May 3) School Committee meeting. Strangely enough, we found out around noon today that the School Committee has suddenly cancelled their meeting, and postponed it for two weeks.



(It's now set for the next School Committee meeting – Tuesday, May 17, at 7:30 pm at Clarke Middle School in Lexington.)



We would predict an even bigger showing then. We’ll keep you informed.





=== 5. You’ll love this: WGBH TV Host Emily Rooney in trouble with gay activists for treating Article 8 fairly on last week’s show! ===



Remember last week we printed the following:



IN THE NEWS: Emily Rooney and WGBH cover Article 8’s successful campaign to have Bay Windows pulled from Stop & Shop supermarkets. This is a REAL eye-opener on how out of touch (and intrinsically biased) the media is. To her credit, Rooney is fair and even-handed, but her panel of four Boston news professionals, including Mark Jurkowitz of the Boston Globe and Dan Kennedy of the Boston Phoenix is nothing short of bizarre.

Click here to view the video of the show.

Well, it turns out that was much too “fair and even” for the sensitive tastes of the Gay Gestapo. As the Boston Herald prominently reported in their Sunday edition, they went after her with a vengeance for not being pro-gay enough! She described Article 8 as a “concerned community group” and that was just too much for the gay Stalinists to stand for. What a riot! We called Rooney’s show to see if they wanted to follow up, and, well, they don’t want to talk about it. We left a message for her not to feel too bad. Heck, the homosexual activists sometimes call us names, too!

Click here to see the Boston Sunday Herald’s article on the incident.
http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=81054&format=&page=2

And here’s the rant written in the local homosexual newspaper, Bay Windows, whining about Emily Rooney’s horrible lapse of political correctness. (It’s interesting, actually – you can see by the tone how angry and enraged these people are, and their completely illogical sense of reasoning.)

And just for background, if case you never looked:

Here’s what else is found in Bay Windows (Caution: gross and disgusting).

=== 6. Work opportunity at Article 8! ===



Be a part of the solution!!! Help out!



Helping steer a movement at a time like this isn’t all speeches and talking to reporters. (In fact, very little of it is.) Most of what goes on here is behind the scenes. None of this is possible without a lot of, frankly, boring but meticulous office work, that really keeps things moving. Particularly, a lot of data entry and other manual computer work, but also filing and phone work.



We’ve got a real need right now for least two full- or part-time positions in our office, in the Rt. 128 area. At least a 2-3 month commitment is needed.



Hours: Flexible, full- or part-time, but need to be “regular”.

Pay: None, unfortunately. Hopefully this will change. See #7 below.

Benefits: Opportunity to help present and future generations.

Workdays: Office is open Monday-Friday, days & evenings, sometimes on weekends

Start: As soon as possible.

For more information: Email us back, or call 781-899-4905

=== 7. Update on our $50,000.00 challenge – your support needed! ===



Started on: Sunday, Feb. 13

Goal: $50,000.00

Total so far: $31,261.00





Our successes are made possible by your donations! We need your support now more than ever!

<snip>

AS WE’VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG – IT’S UP TO THE PEOPLE NOW! THIS CAN AND WILL BE WON.







PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS TO LIKE-MINDED FRIENDS !!





Also, if this is being forwarded to you and you want to be on our primary list, please let us know!

3. Technically it's "stay tuned - details later, but send money now"
And all the appearances on FAUX and Scarborough? Who would have thought they'd take on such an issue? </sarcasm>

It must be just eating their shorts taht GAWD hasn't hurled MA into the ocean or visited plagues of locusts on them for allowing homos to marry.

And the "Gay Gestapo"?? Hello, any one of you dumbwits ever read a history book?
