The Home Depot says AFA is lying - Here's proof we're not August 23, 2010 Dear D, In responding to those who are calling The Home Depot, company  representatives are telling AFA supporters that AFA is lying. Here is proof we are telling the truth AND the facts accurately.  Clicking the thumbnail picture will take you to the larger, online version of the photo. The Home Depot says AFA is lying. The Home Depot is telling people it is neutral in the homosexual culture war. This picture was taken inside an Ohio Home Depot store in June 2010. Promoting the homosexual lifestyle with corporate-produced signs is far from neutral. It is actvism. The Home Depot says AFA is lying about its button and apron policy. They say a policy change in April prohibits employees from wearing any buttons or wearing company aprons outside of the store without company approval. This picture was taken at a gay pride parade in Boston in June 2010, three months after the "policy change." The apron is has emblems from the Human Rights Campaign and other homosexual activist organizations. Notice the company name has been rainbow colored. The Home Depot says AFA is lying about it passing out company-logo items at gay pride parades. These photos shows Home Depot shopping carts filled with foam can coolers, cups, bags and other items bearing The Home Depot logo. These items were handed out along the Chicago Gay Pride Parade route by Home Depot employees. The Home Depot says AFA is lying because the company doesn't sponsor or support gay pride events. This picture clearly shows The Home Depot is an officially recognized sponsor, only one of many the AFA has documentation for. TAKE ACTION 1. Sign the Boycott Pledge at  BoycottTheHomeDepot.com. 2. Call your local store manager. Let the manager know that  you will not be shopping at The Home Depot until the company  stops supporting the homosexual agenda. You can find the number here. (click "Store Finder"). 3. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday School  and church. It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends  and family members. Sincerely, Tim Wildmon, President American Family Association

Grothman asks MATC Board to rescind Arizona boycott

Grothman to MATC Board: Time to Rescind Arizona Boycott Resolution

Milwaukee Tech College’s Intolerance Embarrasses Wisconsin

Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) called on the Milwaukee Area Technical College Board (MATC) to rescind their 6-1 decision to boycott Arizona-based companies and conferences held in Arizona because of that state’s actions to curb its problem with illegal immigration.

“The MATC Board apparently views their new mission as punishing municipalities who do not hold their political views,” said Grothman. “I believe their action would be unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. If every political subdivision were like the MATC Board, we would be back to the days of the Articles of Confederation in which states fought amongst each other. It is particularly embarrassing that an educational institution would take the lead in dividing our country based on political belief.”*

To prevent the continuance of this irrational and intolerant behavior, Grothman called for the following actions:

1. Ask the Milwaukee area school board presidents who appointed the six** radicals to the MATC Board to pass their own resolution condemning the Board and see if they can remove them from the Board.
2. Introduce a letter for state legislators to sign expressing their desire to have the MATC rescind their resolution and apologize to the State of Arizona for their display of intolerance.
3. Introduce legislation next January barring political subdivisions from discriminating against American businesses based on location.
4. Coordinate an on-line petition at www.weresorryarizona.com for citizens to sign to be forwarded to the Arizona Legislature apologizing for the embarrassing and reckless actions of MATC.
5. Investigate legislation to allow school districts in Ozaukee and Washington counties to be moved to the Moraine Park Technical District if feasible. The more tolerant members of Ozaukee and Washington Counties should not have to be part of a technical college board that is using their tax dollars to punish states with which they disagree.
6. One of the six radicals was Nicolet School Administrator Richard Monroe. What are the children in the Nicolet School District learning in their civics classes? Our country will not survive if the next generation refuses to do business with other states who disagree with them. The Nicolet School Board should take some action to force Richard Monroe to change his vote.

“It is time for all Wisconsin citizens to pay more attention to what goes on in our schools and universities. One of the reasons our country is in the current situation is that our educational system has become a vehicle for pushing the agenda of an intolerant and totalitarian hard left Anti-American agenda,” said Grothman. “We have to remember that the MATC Board was picked by Milwaukee area school board presidents, and in addition to Mr. Monroe, Lauren Baker, an important employee of Milwaukee Public Schools sits on the MATC Board. All citizens and legislators concerned about the fabric of our country should weigh in strongly to stop these excesses now.”

####

* “I move in very conservative circles and have never heard anybody suggest not doing business with companies in states and cities with so-called sanctuary-city laws, same-sex marriage statutes, euthanasia laws, etc. – this tactic is purely a tool of the totalitarian left,” said Grothman.

** The six radicals on the MATC Board are: Lauren Baker, Richard Monroe, Fred Royal Jr., Peter Earle, Bobbie Webber, and Ann Wilson.

Pro-Lifers: Boycott American Cancer Society

Boycott the

American Cancer Society

Four Main Reasons to Boycott the American Cancer Society:

1) Funds Deadly Embryo Research according to American Life League's website.

2) Lobbied for the the Controversial (Gardasil) HPV Vaccine Mandate for Wisconsin's little 6th grade girls last Session at the State Capitol.

3) The ACS practice of targeting fiscally conservative legislators that aren't willing to fund the agenda of every special interest group in our state out of respect for hard-working taxpayers.

4) Financial conflict of the public interest.

Full Explanation:

1. American Cancer Society Provides Funding for Deadly Embryo Research. American Life League, the 100% No Exceptions, No Compromise national Pro-Life organization, offers excellent information about the American Cancer Society's involvement in embryo research. The material on the ACS's funding of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine is most revealing as is their involvement in the Patients' Coalition for Urgent Research (CURE), and ACS's funding of homosexual and bisexual studies.

The American Life League website also details the positions of other national organizations such as theAmerican Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the American Red Cross, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, etc.

2. The American Cancer Society Actively Lobbied in Support of the Controversial HPV Vaccine Mandate for Wisconsin’s Little Girls. During the 2007-08 Legislative Session, the American Cancer Society testified in favor of and lobbied for Assembly Bill 492/ Senate Bill 252 - http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2007/data/AB492hst.html a bill mandating the promotion of controversial cervical cancer vaccines like Gardasil for 6^th-grade girls in Wisconsin's public, private, and homeschools.

Numerous Mothers and Grandmothers and advocates for the Wisconsin Association of Christian Schools and the Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools (all 5 Catholic Dioceses, Missouri Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventists, and Evangelical Lutheran Synods) worked tirelessly for the defeat of this offensive legislation advanced by the well-funded pharmaceutical industry and such financial beneficiaries as Planned Parenthood - the state's largest abortion promoter, provider, and profiteer.

Based on how hard the Wisconsin Association of Christian Schools, Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent, and various Pro-Family Groups worked to defeat this extreme mandate, it makes NO sense for Christian churches and schools to continue to fund the American Cancer Society's offensive agenda.

If you are unfamiliar with the widely publicized vaccine Gardasil manufactured by Merck, Judicial Watch’s website offers copies of medical reports detailing deaths, cases of paralysis and other injuries from this vaccine that was fast-tracked through the FDA's so-called 'approval process.' (If you will recall, Merck is the manufacturer of Vioxx the drug involved in national class action lawsuits and the payout of millions in damages.) We must not allow pharmaceutical giants to use innocent 11-year-old girls as cash cows to replenish lost profits from their other failed products. (Also find out more about Merck’s failure to pay billions in back taxes-IRS.)

According to the 2009-2010 lobbying reports posted by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, the American Cancer Society is listed again as an organization involved in the promotion of this multi-million dollar scheme against the families of this state. http://ethics.state.wi.us/scripts/CurrentSession/BandrLobbied.asp?PrinID=2573&start=A&start2=

3. Targeting Fiscal Conservatives. Few Wisconsin taxpayers realize that $36 Million was spent by the vast spectrum of lobbying groups last year at our State Capitol. One primary function of lobbyists is to launch campaigns to separate dollars from taxpayers to fund their agendas. If you wonder why Wisconsin has an enormous budget deficit, just look to Wisconsin's overbearing lobbying corps for your answers. If your legislators spend more time with lobbying rather than with you and the folks paying the bills, that needs to change on November 2. If you have a legislator that respects the limits on your wallet, take a moment to thank them and encourage them to hold the line on all of Wisconsin's run-away spending.

Blogger Owen Robinson discussed the politics of theAmerican Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, and the American Heart Association, and their agenda for Wisconsin's taxpayers stating, "The American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and the American Heart Association funded a mailer that was sent into certain Republican Assembly districts in Wisconsin attacking the incumbent Republican. Why? Because those Republicans voted for a budget that did not triple the spending on government anti-smoking campaigns from $10 million to $30 million and for refusing to jack up the taxes on cigarettes by $1.25 per pack."

4. $$ Conflicts of Interest. The Cancer Prevention Coalition (good guys) offers very compelling data in theirarticle "American Cancer Society: The World's Wealthiest 'Nonprofit' Institution" by Samuel S. Epstein, MD. http://www.preventcancer.com/losing/acs/wealthiest_links.htm Dr. Epstein's article details the inner workings of the ACS from the generous salaries and pensions they offer their employees and executives, their excessive overhead, and the Hollywood-style manner in which they select their Board of Directors, etc. Epstein states:

· "…for every $1 spent on direct service, approximately $6.40 is spent on compensation and overhead."

· "In 1992, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that the ACS was 'more interested in accumulating wealth than in saving lives.'"

· "Nationally, only 16% or less of all money raised is spent on direct services to cancer victims."

· "The current budget of ACS is $380 Million and its cash reserves approach $1 Billion."

· "Fund-raising appeals routinely stated that the ACS needed more funds to support its cancer programs, all the while holding more than $750 Million in cash and real estate assets."

In the article, "Is the American Cancer Society More Interested in Cancer Profit than Cancer

Prevention?"http://www.naturalnews.com/010244.html found on the Organic Consumers Association website, you will learn about the emphasis ACS places on treatment and screening rather than on prevention. This multi-Billion dollar approach serves the interests of their key allies very well.

5. The Abortion-Breast Cancer Link. Again, in the interest of brevity, we encourage you to research numerous on-line articles about the Abortion Breast Cancer link.

http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/The_Link.htm One interesting website you may wish to review is the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer. One insider's perspective can be gleaned from an interesting little piece titled, "Women Leafleting Cancer Walks Ask 'Why Aren't Women Being Told About the ABC Link?"'

http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/newsletter102202.htm Numerous studies show there is a heightened correlation between abortion and breast cancer.

AFA calls for 2-month BOYCOTT of Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic

These clothing giants are eliminating Christmas from all advertising.

The American Family Association (AFA) is calling for a boycott of Gap stores.

This week, AFA announced a two-month boycott of Gap stores and the company’s other store brands, Old Navy and Banana Republic. The boycott is based on the store’s refusal to use the term “Christmas” in its advertising campaigns during the last few years. AFA encourages concerned consumers to boycott all three of the clothing retail chains.
