AFA of PA ACTION ALERT

1.) S.B. 1250 – Marriage Protection Amendment Update –
2.) Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern Receives Death Threats
1.) Just got word that the Pennsylvania Marriage Amendment – SB 1250 – passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee this afternoon. The vote was 10-4 with Senators Patrick Browne (R-Lehigh), Jay Costa (D-Allegheny), Jane Earll (R-Erie), and Wayne Fontana (D-Allegheny) voting against it.
2.) Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern continues being blasted for her comments of almost two weeks ago. Remember she made the comments about the homosexual agenda, the dangers to those involved in the lifestyle and the dangers to America’s children and society as a whole, if we embrace homosexuality. According to Mrs. Kern, the comments posted on YouTube by the pro-homosexual Victory Fund takes her words out of context. (Note: This video has been removed from YouTube, but is currently posted on Victory Fund’s website.) Mrs. Kern says she was specifically talking about wealthy homosexual activists who use their money and political position to further their agenda. She has received 17,000 e-mails – most condemning her comments and some containing death threats. A body guard has been hired to protect her. Because the City of Pittsburgh was included in her comments, last Friday Pittsburgh City Council President Doug Shields sent Mrs. Kern a letter demanding an apology and her resignation. Which is more hate-filled, Mrs. Kerns comments or Mr. Shields’ letter? Her words are worse than former Governor Eliot Spitzer’s affair??
