Did Homosexual activists vandalize churches?
We as a people will elect a president of the United States: Either a man who will appoint judges that impose gay marriage on all 50 states...
...Or a man willing to fight for the values and views that you and I hold dear.
More importantly: a man willing to stand up for God's view of marriage as the union of husband and wife—and who will give us a fighting chance at the Supreme Court. In November, the people of several deep blue states will have a chance—thanks to you!—to vote to protect marriage as the union of husband and wife.
And in Iowa, the people will have a chance once again to express their disapproval of the activist judges who imposed gay marriage on that state against its citizens will! Here's a snapshot of me with Gov. Bobby Jindal on the "No Wiggins" bus.
Iowa is accustomed to being a central battleground in politics, being first among the nation's caucuses; but now Iowans have a chance not only to help elect a new president, but to un-elect an activist judge!
Here's Bobby Jindal, telling the people of Iowa about this great opportunity:![]()
I am continually amazed by the resiliency of the American people in standing for marriage.
Gay marriage proponents have the mainstream media. They have more money than we do—sometimes what feels like overwhelmingly more money—and yet, we have a fighting chance, because we stand for truth, for love, and for God's own vision of marriage!
In one of the states where marriage is on the ballot this fall, our opponents have been on the air for three weeks with the best ads money can buy—but the polls are showing that the more ads they air, the less people like gay marriage.
In Minnesota, the people's continued success in fighting for marriage is provoking some among the opposition tovandalize churches. Yes, sad—but true, as the media reports: "Police are searching for the person responsible for vandalizing multiple churches in Buffalo, Minn., over the weekend."
The Buffalo Police Department responded to incidents at several local churches between Saturday and Monday, with four of those incidents involving placement of handwritten posters containing inflammatory messages. Police found damage to church buildings at five locations. Police say nothing in the posters left behind referenced the upcoming marriage amendment vote, but most of the churches targeted define marriage as between a man and a woman.
... Rob Jarvis, pastor of Hosanna Lutheran, said he found a poster depicting Jesus as being gay.
"It was (the suspect's) idea of Jesus and then describing homosexual acts, and things like that," Jarvis said, as his church's doors were busted out 24 hours later. The importance of battles like this is why NOM was founded. Thank you for making the fight for God's truth about marriage possible. We are committed to being your voice for timeless values everywhere across this great land.
In the state of New York, we have a great victory to report:Kathy Marchione has defeated incumbent Sen. Roy McDonald in the GOP primary for the New York State Senate!
That's incredible. Republican incumbents almost never lose primaries. In fact, they almost never face opposition. But McDonald was one of four GOP senators who supported gay marriage and passed gay marriage in that state.
Sen. James Alesi, who also did so, retired rather than face the voters' music.
Now Roy McDonald has announced his attention to retire from politics and support Kathy Marchione in the general election.
Then there's Sen. Steven Saland, who was expected to sail to easy victory in his nomination, but appears only to haveeked out a win by the narrowest of margins over feisty challenger Neil DiCarlo.
Saland outspent DiCarlo 40 to 1 in the primary, feeding on the money pro-gay marriage advocates wafted his way—more than thirty pieces of silver to reward him for his pro-gay marriage vote. But here's the good news: DiCarlo is not giving up! He won a write-in vote for the Conservative Party nomination, and so he has another chance to take on Saland in November.
Along with Saland, Mark Grisanti (the other pro-gay marriage Republican in New York) will also face a Conservative Party challenger in November.
And as DiCarlo said in his press release this week, "Despite being outspent $700,000 to my $25,000 I have shown that integrity matters and that ideas and morals matter more than money.... Having won the majority of votes in the primary, [adding up the GOP and Conservative Party line,] I look forward to winning the general election in November and serving the people of the 41st with integrity as their State Senator." City&State's weekly round-up of winners and losers proclaims me—and therefore you, and NOM PAC NY—a "winner" this week:
"...Brian Brown won a larger battle—rendering LGBT rights groups incapable of claiming that no Republican legislator who voted yes on same-sex marriage has ever been defeated because of it ... the example of Roy McDonald will probably serve as a cautionary tale."
Of course, we've defeated politicians who have waffled on or betrayed marriage before, but it's good to see the media is noticing for a change!
I told you this would be a big month for marriage. I want to share with you an initiative NOM just launched—"Keep the Republic and Marriage"—a place for pro-marriage heroes like you to PUBLICLY support NOM's work. You can learn about Sean Fieler, the courageous man who was the first to sign his name to this document here. I urge you to join him today and join our fight to keep the republic and marriage!
Voting begins this week in Minnesota. And so let me leave you with a few words from Kelley Yanta, the face of Minnesota Marriage Minute:![]()
Truth matters. Integrity matters. Money matters, but it does not trump the first two things. Thanks to you—and to the hundreds of thousands of other Americans who join you in supporting NOM—we are able to get the word—the Word—out! And the American people are responding. Bless you for all the good you've made possible.
Faithfully,
