Likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is
shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. Romans 1:27
Prayer: Father, We pray for the USA to repent from all sins, including perversion, homosexuality, adultery
and fiornication. May Your Holy Spirit convict each heart. In Jesus' name.
In a November 18th hearing on "Greater Autonomy for the Nation's Capital,"
Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty stated he does not believe citizens in his city should have the right to vote on marriage.
Asked if he would be in favor
of a vote on a referendum against same-sex "marriage" in the District of Columbia, he responded, "The short
answer is 'no.'" Most
states in the U.S. have held referenda on marriage, voted on by the citizens. The question was posed by Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah,) who reminded
Mayor Fenty that 31 states have already allowed citizens to vote on the definition of marriage. In every case, traditional
marriage was preserved. Mayor
Fenty went on to say that the D.C. Council was capable of making a decision regarding same-sex "marriage" since
the council was elected by the citizens of the District of Columbia. D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray, also on the panel of witnesses, echoed that
sentiment. Wendy Wright, President
of Concerned Women for America, said, "The D.C. Council reeks of rank hypocrisy. For years they have demanded
that D.C. citizens should have the right to vote for congressional representation, which is in direct contradiction to the
Constitution. Yet now they are denying D.C. citizens the right to vote on marriage, an institution so fundamental to
America's well-being that territories were not allowed to become states unless they kept marriage between one man and one
woman.
If the council
majority persists, and if Congress does not intervene, Christian ministries could be forced to provide benefits to same-sex
partners of employees, to place children for adoption with same-sex partners, and to offer counseling and support to same-sex
couples. The IRD, Institute on Religion and Democracy, Vice President Alan Wisdom commented:
"The demand for
same-sex marriage has gone from toleration to tyranny. The DC government is prepared to force Christians to violate church
teaching and become complicit in behavior that the Bible calls sin. This is just the kind of abuse against which opponents
of same-sex marriage have been warning.
"All those who value their religious freedom should be up in arms
at this attempted coercion of consciences. If Catholics are not allowed to be Catholic, none of us can rest secure in our
liberty.
"Wherever same-sex marriage has been available, only a small number have taken the opportunity.
Yet, in order to satisfy that small minority, the DC council seems ready to put at risk 68,000 needy city residents."
Please cry out to God for
bold righteous leaders in the church and the government, and that all Americans will be concerned and step up now to protect
our Christian nation from all threats foreign and domestic.

-
Hate crime laws give protection to those who commit sexual offenses, including pedophiles and those who commit rape, while
they take away protection from victims of crimes.
- Every American should demand that Obama, Pelosi, Reid,
Clinton, Biden, Schwarzenegger (for related issues), Steele (for related issues)... be forced to resign immediately for no
confidence and general failure of "we the people" in pushing laws that promote sin, take away victim's rights, and
attack our founding fathers, free speech, the Constitution, the 98-99% straight people and families.
- Hate
crime laws attack George Washington and our founding fathers because George Washington wrote that he found homosexuality
"abhorring and detesting" and court martialed a sodomite for sinning in the military. Our founding fathers obeyed
God,not disobeyed God. Noah Webster said sodomy was a crime against nature. Thomas Jefferson found homosexuals immoral and
wanted to make very stiff laws forbidding homosexuality. All 13 colonies were founded by moral people and had laws against
homosexuality.
- Hate crime laws are another example of an out of touch government that should be
removed immediately.
- These "laws" attack God who says homosexuality is sin. These laws could make
reading and teaching the Bible illegal. The
Bible is the best selling book of all time and the book our founding fathers established the USA on. Abraham Lincoln
said: "But for the Bible, we could
not know right from wrong."
- Many have called the bill the
"Pedophile Protection Act" because it has been said to give federally protected status to 547
classes of sexual deviants, including child molesters, and removes protection for the 98-99% straight people, violating
the Constitution.
- All 50 states have long existing laws which deal with violent crime. These
"laws" are unnecessary as there are plenty of laws already to protect people. - Our founding fathers would not support these "laws" as they established
a free country to serve our Creator.
- Americans do not support taking away the rights of the
302 million straight people in free speech.
- Obama is trying to force homosexuality
AGAINST THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS who have unanimously voted 30+ times for man and woman marriage. That is what the
people of America want. But this bill would make it easier to pass legislation which will make stating the majority of
America's belief about man and woman real marriage a "hate crime." - Hate crime laws could
make stating your belief about marriage, as people like Miss California have done, against the law. This is bullying
that no one wants. Many people clearly believe Miss America was treated unfairly and discrimanted upon. Look at
what is already happening without "Hate Crime Laws". We need laws to protect families now. Which Congressman will
do that? America is a free country.
- The following should be removed immediately for attacking freedom of
speech (the US Constitution) and American families: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Biden, Clinton... and every Congressman voting
for hate crime laws.
