I feel compelled to speak out to the employers
and employees of the great state of Washington about an initiative I believe
is misleading . . . When we deny employers that right [to consider
someone's behavior in hiring] based on someone's sexual preference it
puts us all on a slippery slope.

I-677 would actually cause discrimination
itself, stealing freedoms of speech and conscience from one group of employees
and employers, and giving special standing in court - and a lawsuit sledgehammer
over any who disagree - to another group.

The great crisis in American education is
not at the university level. It is at the elementary and high school levels,
where thousands of kids -- particularly inner-city minority kids -- are
getting educations so rotten that their entire life prospects are blighted.

People seeking professional mental health
therapy as a way out of homosexuality may soon face a brick wall erected
by those who want to deny any hope of change.
A decision expected on Thursday by an American Psychological Association
governing body would force sexual reorientation therapists to read a statement
to their patients declaring that homosexuality is normal and healthy.

. . . adults have a duty to be outraged? Some rebellious teenagers will always push the limits. It is the responsibility of the elders to push back. But since just about Elvis Presley's time, we have become a nation without grownups. When teenagers rebel, it's like pushing on a string. And so the rebellion takes more and more outrageous forms in search of a response. [emphasis added]
We are coming close to cultural meltdown.
Yet, too many American adults, particularly those in the media, would rather
die than appear uncool. In other words, they are still mental teenagers
themselves. There is apparently nothing, no matter how debased, degraded,
disgusting or contemptible that will elicit censure from them. Censure,
after all, is what parents did to Elvis. And fitting in, not setting standards
- or even upholding the norms of civilization - is the paramount concern
for teenagers.

the abyss of "cultural depravity."
I'm concerned that nearly every institution in America has non-conservatives shouting the loudest. In one county, we had a prominent Democrat elected official (18 years in office) approach us with the complaint that the gay/lesbian block had completely taken over the county party as it had the state party apparatus as well. Most of the old-timers that he had started out with over [20] years ago had abandoned the D's over a decade ago because they had no forum for their traditional values (they'd always get shouted down). He had hoped they could rally to impact public policy through Washington for Traditional Values or some other organization. . . . But, my counsel was to take the party back!
I have the same message for
disenchanted traditionalists everywhere. Take it back! In our generation,
we have not have yet resisted to the point of shedding blood. If we will
work and struggle against the corrupting elements in our institutions,
others will rally to us. Or, do we think our bretheren evil that they would
not respond to exposed injustice?

. . . there is a real danger that those
wishing to impose their pro-homosexual morality on our culture by pushing
their private practices into public policies we must obey will, if they
succeed, strip away our freedoms of speech and association.

. . . being queer means pushing the parameters
of sex, sexuality and family, and in the process, transforming the very
fabric of society . . . . We must keep our eyes on the goals of providing
true alternatives to marriage and of radically reordering society's views
of reality.

It's important to remember who started this
divisiveness, not only in our community but all over the world. Legalizing
"gay marriage" is an attack by homosexual activists and their
supporters on the moral foundations of this country. They are committed
to redefining marriage and family in order to achieve their ultimate goal--societal
acceptance of homosexuality on an equal basis as heterosexuality.

If kids are having their rights to freedom of speech restricted, then they had better be told exactly what kinds of speech constitute "homophobic remarks" and exactly what rules pertain to avoiding such speech, and exactly what disciplinary action will be taken if they dare to utter such words.
. . . it was a disingenuous attack on academic
freedom, and an inappropriate, manipulative effort to foster a "chilling
effect" . . . to warn kids about the horrors of practicing "homophobia."

Taxpayers certainly are being forced to
finance homosexual political advocacy in the public schools, and here again
we also have television - a very powerful medium - being used to advance
the homosexual agenda.

"Certainly there is more at stake here than image. "People’s lives are being destroyed at the very hands that are supposed to provide succor and healing during tough times in families. What we’ve seen through tragedies like the OK Boys Ranch, Wenatchee witch hunts, Ms. Kidd’s case and too many others is that government is not family, cannot be family and is architecturally wrong to fulfill those responsibilities. The shear weight of recent disclosures of state wrongdoing fairly screams this out."
"Understand that many people who signed
this petition knew that they were requesting an investigation of the agencies
that they worked for which seems to me to be a very strong admission of
the dire circumstances within their agencies. I think it bodes well that
this movement is drawing its vitality from the best possible source - ‘We
the People.’ As President Andrew Johnson reminded us in 1865, ‘Our government
springs from and was made for the people-not the people for the Government.
To them it owes allegiance; from them it must derive its courage, strength
and wisdom.’ This petition proves that, the ‘courage, strength and wisdom’
of the people is still alive and well in Washington state.

"Making nice" has also killed
a lot of homosexual participants who were never adequately confronted by
their culture with the severely dangerous, the monumentally foolish and
the incredibly irresponsible nature of their continued actions.
We Americans may be nice. If so, we are brutally nice.

Commenting on Homosexual sophistry
(below)
Sid Turbyfill
Vice President
WTV
This is the sophistry of the homosexual political agenda in a nutshell:
Convince people that if they dare to resist pro-homosexual activist's efforts to gain
successive levels of manipulative political power, then they "hate" homosexuals.
Only by your complete inaction, and your meek acceptance of someone else's taxpayer financed political agenda, can you prove that you are a nice person.
"Making nice" has been killing
conservatives. When a responsible citizen is confronted with the choice
of being "nice" or defending their culture from social tinkerers,
the decision should be easy. PC protesters may shout "bigot"
at you, but you'll be doing the right thing.

When I was testifying before the legislature last week, there were homosexual organizations defending the existence of bizarre, preferential programs in our Department of Social and Health Services by reminding everyone of how much higher the incidence of AIDS is among. . . . homosexuals.
First, homosexual activists get the dominant media culture to cooperate in convincing everyone that AIDS is about 50/50 hetero/homosexual. Then, when they want to keep the old taxpayer bucks flowing into their programs based on favoritism and coddling, they claim -- straight-faced -- that the statistics we've been quoting from our State Dept. of Health, and nationally from CDC, are correct after all.
When honesty has nothing to do with jamming
your agenda into people's lives, you never blush. You just take the money
and shout "bigot" at people who raise any objections. It has
served the homosexual political agenda quite well.

Many Americans believe that their taxes
do not support abortion overseas, but they have been terribly misled. Their
money is distributed generously to groups who actively promote abortion,
seek to overturn foreign countries' abortion laws, and support programs
which are tainted by forced abortion and sterilization of women policies.
If they knew the truth, the American people would never agree with the
Clinton Administration's request to spend an additional $123 million dollars
of taxpayers' money in the current fiscal year toward such ends."
