THOUSANDS
OF GAYS DEMAND OBAMA SIGN HATE BILL
By
Rev. Ted Pike
On Sunday, tens of thousands of gay rights supporters marched from the
White House to the Capitol "demanding
that President Obama keep his promises…to end discrimination against
gays." Their underlying demand is that he sign the federal hate
crimes bill into law.
Last Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the defense
authorization bill, with the hate bill attached. Today's surge of
homosexual activism in the Capitol was an immediate result. This
outpouring was also the result of widespread (primarily favorable)
publicity concerning the bill by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League and
Jewish pro-homosexual media. This publicity had been conspicuously
denied since the bill was introduced into Congress in January; ADL's
previous strategy was to pass it behind the scenes in Congress without
public debate.
Congressional passage is now a virtual certainty; but to forestall any
possibility Obama might fulfill his threat to veto the defense/hate bill
package, it is strongly to ADL's advantage to publicize and promote the
hate bill. Pro-hate bill media and activist groups speak as if its
passage were already a fact. They portray the hate bill as one of the
great civil rights milestones of American history. They flatter
Obama that he might become a hero for gay civil rights as was Martin
Luther King for black civil rights.
Yet Obama has repeatedly threatened veto of the defense bill if Congress
adds what he considers $100 billion of unnecessary, wasteful spending on
extra F-35 warplane engines. But the House of Representatives defied him
last week by adding the engines to the defense bill. Through national
publicity and public display on the mall, the President is now warned
that his homosexual and liberal supporters will be bitterly disappointed
and angry if he allows hate bill victory to again slip through their
fingers.
Their insistence contrasts sharply with the lack of pressure by
leadership groups of the mainstream Christian/conservative right that
Obama keep his promise and veto
the bill. Lacking imagination of how Christian America could marshal
forces to compel Obama, they agree with liberals that hate bill passage
is virtually accomplished.
But the National Prayer Network is generating
widespread and mounting demand for Obama's promised veto. Having
trumpeted this message on nine national radio interviews since Thursday,
I am booked to encourage millions more in broadcasts this week. Through
high-profile websites such as Rense.com, Truthtellers.org, and chain and
email lists reaching millions, we are flooding
the White House with emails encouraging Obama to keep his word.
Get on board! Add your emails to the tidal wave, counterbalancing the
tens of thousands of homosexuals who gathered in Washington, D.C. today.
Let Obama know that many more Americans
oppose the hate bill than support it!
Email these two messages to the President immediately:
- Mr.
President, I will vote out Democrats at midterms if you sign the
freedom-destroying federal hate crimes bill.
- Mr. President, I expect you to keep your promise to veto any military authorization bill that wastes $100 billion of taxpayers' money on unnecessary F-35 jet engines.
