Priorities...

In times like these, it's interesting to see different groups' priorities.

I've gotten end-of-year fundraising pleas from the usual suspects (HRC, Alameda County Food Bank)). I got a message from Brit Tzedek v'Shalom urging everyone to seize the latest opportunity to make peace in the Middle East. So far, two groups (Working Assets and American Jewish World Service) have sent emails about the tsunami disaster (80,000 dead and counting at this point!)

Then we have this beautiful piece of work from the American Family Association, who seem to think I'm their little pen-pal now.

Please forward this to your family and friends!
 
HELP THE PRESIDENT DECIDE THE KIND OF JUDGES TO APPOINT
Tell the President the kind of Supreme Court and Federal judges he should appoint

Your email will go straight to the White House.


Dear XXXX,
Very soon President Bush will be appointing several Federal judges, including the possibility of appointing one or more Supreme Court judges.

The most important decision the President will make during the next four years will be the kind of judges he appoints.

 We encourage you to send the President an email encouraging him to appoint the kind of judges you want on the Federal courts.

 The time to make your voice heard is now, before nominations are made!

 If you think the President should appoint "strict constructionist" judges--that is, judges who interpret the constitution to seek the original intent of the document--click here.

 If you think the President should appoint "progressive" judges who believe they should change the Constitution to make laws they feel are needed but that Congress refuses to make, click here.

 To see the number of individuals who have sent letters encouraging the President for each category, click here.

 The more people who participate, the better feel the President will have of public opinion. Please forward this to your friends and family.

 Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
 American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this email to family and friends.

It's Not Gay: This 28-minute video presents a story that few have heard, allowing former homosexuals the opportunity to tell their own story in their own words. Along with medical and mental health experts, these individuals express a clear warning that the sanitized version of homosexuality being presented to students is not the whole truth.

I have half a mind to take them up on their offer and contact them to tell them what I think. Which is: What the hell is a "Christian" "Family" organization doing, in a week when thousands of families have been destroyed, sending out this garbage? Why aren't they doing the "Christian" thing and encouraging their members to get their heads out of their asses and do something GOOD for a change?

I shouldn't even bother being outraged, but really, timing IS everything.
