NBC's 'New Normal'

As a corporation that has chosen to sponsor the NBC television show “The New Normal,” I’m outraged by your support of a show that not only crosses the line with offensive, lewd verbiage and sexual imagery, but also pushes the gay agenda, while it offensively labels those who hold traditional values as bigoted homophobes.

Millions of Americans hold views regarding the gay agenda and same sex marriage that differ from the opinions pushed by Hollywood elites.  This is made clearly obvious by the voters in dozens of states from the east coast to the west who have overwhelmingly upheld traditional marriage.

“The New Normal” blatantly mocks me and those millions of Americans by labeling us as “intolerant haters” when in fact the message you sponsor through this show is one of hate and intolerance toward those of us who hold a different viewpoint regarding the gay agenda.

Do you really want your company name associated with a show that mocks and offends millions of potential customers?  If you continue to sponsor “The New Normal” I will do my best to tell my family and friends to include you on their “no shop” list.

I look forward to your response.

Hardee's at it again

Dear Mr. Puzder:

I am appalled at your new Hardee’s commercial and its representation of your views regarding women and pornography.

This graphic, raunchy advertisement degrades women, is an assault upon families, and is not welcome in my home.

There are many others like me who don’t appreciate companies that promote illicit sex.  While you continue to use crude and offensive advertising ploys, many of your competitors choose not to degrade women and push the envelope of taste and decency in the way they advertise.  That speaks volumes to me.

Please let me know when your advertising standards have improved, and then I will decide whether or not I will again make your restaurants a dining choice.

General Mills announces support for gay ‘marriage’

americansfortruth.com

Remember when Big Business was conservative and was protested by hippies and leftists? Well now, socially speaking, corporate titans are siding with the Left against historic Judeo-Christian values – and God-fearing Christians and Jews are chiding the soulless, capitalist sellouts. The latest Behemoth to kick the Creator to the curb is General Mills — seemingly right up there with apple pie and motherhood as a symbol of American wholesomeness, but no more.

General Mills is maker of these iconic breakfast cereals:

Cheerios
 Chex
 Cinnamon Toast Crunch
 Fiber One
 Kix
 Lucky Charms
 Monsters
 Total
 Trix
 Wheaties

In bowing to the revolutionary, homosexualist redefinition of marriage, the cereal giant has had to re-invent morality itself. Thus it employs the same sanctimonious Diversity Doublespeak as all social leftists who — no matter what destructive policies they pursue — pat themselves on the back for being on the side of “progress.” How telling that a company like General Mills is now serving up the pablum of “inclusion” to justify its immoral turn.

General Mills boasts that its goal “is to be among the most socially responsible food companies in the world.” Memo to General Mills: promoting homosexuality (linked disproportionately to disease and dysfunction) as normative behavior – to the point of undermining natural marriage — is not “socially responsible” but rather the opposite, even though it earns plaudits from the usual morally-challenged suspects. (See this biased “Wikipedia” entry which, sounding like a press release for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, notes that General Mills “received positive feedback for its stand [against the Minnesota marrriage amendment] which is expected to attract people to its global workforce.”)

Apparently General Mills’ executives, like those at Starbuck’s and other mega-corporations, are betting that more American consumers are FOR the sexual sin of homosexuality than against it. Time will tell if they are right, but regardless, corporate profits do not dictate moral Truth.

There are now far too many pro-homosexuality major corporations for us to declare this offender versus that offender a boycott target — so pro-family consumers can make their own purchasing choices. As for me, I will hesitate before buying a box of Wheaties or Cheerios, if only to strike a small, lonely blow for what’s right.

Bye Bye Cheerios?: General Mills announces support for gay ‘marriage’

By Thaddeus Baklinski

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, June 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Minnesota-based food giant General Mills has publicly come out in opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Minnesota.

Currently same-sex “marriage” is against the law in Minnesota. However, in November, Minnesotans will vote on the amendment which would insert the true definition of marriage in the state constitution…

According to a post put up Thursday, June 14 on the General Mills company blog by Ken Charles, vice president of global diversity and inclusion, “General Mills CEO Ken Powell on Wednesday addressed 400 local gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender professionals and announced that the company opposes the amendment.”

“While General Mills doesn’t normally take positions on ballot measures, this is a business issue that impacts our employees,” Charles said in his post. “I am proud to see our company join the ranks of local and national employers speaking out for inclusion…”

Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), a major advocate for the marriage amendment, blasted the General Mills Corporation for effectively declaring a “war on marriage” with its own customers.

“Marriage as the union of one man and one woman is profoundly in the common good, and it is especially important for children,” said Brown.

“General Mills makes billions marketing cereal to parents of young children. It has now effectively declared a war on marriage with its own customers when it tells the country that it is opposed to preserving traditional marriage, which is what the Minnesota Marriage Protection Amendment does.”

J.C. Penney Releases Father's Day Ad Featuring Two Gay Dads

To Whom it May Concern,

I am extremely offended by your recent attempt to redefine "families" in your recent Father's Day ad featuring a homosexual couple. Your pandering to the homosexual movement is at the same time pushing away those of us who support traditional, i.e. real, marriage. It is not the place of a department store to be making preachy statements about issues like gay marriage at the cost of its customers. Until such time as I hear that you will no longer attempt to make moral judgments on these issues in your ad campaigns and will be backing out of the culture war, I will not be shopping in your stores. Please, stay out of the controversy and just sell your products.

Thank you

Oppose .porn, .sex and .adult domains!

Take Action:

http://www.waronillegalpornography.com/action-oppose-porn-sex-and-adult-domains/


The .XXX domain was proposed as a place that all Internet porn sites would relocate, making the rest of the Internet porn free. As we predicted from the beginning however, that did not happen. Porn companies did not relocate to .XXX, but instead, the kept their .COM sites and opened additional porn sites on .XXX.

Now, the company behind .XXX is seeking permission to open up three more porn domains, .Porn, .sex, and .adult.

We know that this just means the Internet porn companies will expand to those domains as well and thousands of new porn sites will appear.

We are pressing the U. S. Government and Congress as well as the governing agency of the Internet called, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to stop this expansion of Internet porn.

The public does not want more Internet porn!


TRUTH ABOUT .XXX DOMAIN:

- Now, 6 months after the launch of .XXX domain, none of the major pornography websites switched from their .com to a .xxx site. In fact, many porn companies just launched more websites on the .xxx domain. THERE IS MORE PORNOGRAPHY!
- The filters available today do not have problems blocking most of the pornographic websites on popular domains. Switching to .XXX doesn't make it easier to block (and anyway, no one is switching) because they can block .com sites just fine. The problem is that less that 12% of American homes actually have blocking software.
- Thousands of universities, businesses, politicians and famous individuals have been forced to pay protection money to ICM Registry in order to protect their brand from being associated with pornography. Many of these have had to pay thousands of dollars to ICM Registry, which has made ICM Registry millions of dollars. Now, these brands will have to fork over millions more in order to protect themselves on .sex, .porn and .adult domains.
- One common argument is that Congress can just pass a law to force porn companies to switch to .XXX. Well -

1) it would take a lot of effort to get that law passed and the porn industry, with unlimited financial resources, would work very hard to make sure that didn't happen.

2) If a law was passed, it would most likely be found unconstitutional for a myriad of reasons.

3.) If the law was passed and was upheld by the High Court, that would mean the US Justice Department would have to enforce it. They would have to go one-by-one and prosecute each porn site on .com in order to force them to move to .XXX and these would likely only have small penalties.

The US Justice Department won't even enforce the existing federal obscenity laws. Plus, if they were going to go after porn companies, they should go after them for breaking Federal Obscenity Laws, not just asking them to move their illegal content to another neighborhood on the web.

Protect our Children's Innocence Petition

Whereas:   Schools should be institutions of learning, dedicated to the unbiased and unpoliticized pursuit of knowledge equally for all students; and

Whereas:   The mis-named "Student Non-Discrimination Act" actually DOES discriminate by creating special protected classes of students; and

Whereas:   More accurately-named the "Homosexual Classrooms Act," the "Student Non-Discrimination Act" targets children with homosexual propaganda far over their heads in an attempt to sexually confuse and corrupt; and

Whereas:   Government should have NO AUTHORITY to force the Homosexual Agenda on the American people, much less their children;

Therefore:  As your constituent and a concerned pro-family voter, I strongly insist you oppose the so-called "Student Non-Discrimination Act," and make every attempt to see it defeated.

NY Court Rules it is Legal to View Child Pornography on Internet

Yesterday, a NY Court of Appeals ruled that it is legal for individuals to view child pornography on the Internet. We knew that times like this would come if we continued to allow the mainstreaming and popular acceptance of pornography. By normalizing the abuse and exploitation of women for so many years, we have essentially been grooming child pornographers and child predators. Our culture is becoming desensitized now to even child pornography.

http://pornharms.com/mim/ny-court-rules-it-is-legal-to-view-child-pornography-on-internet/



STATEMENT FROM MORALITY IN MEDIA
In response to the ruling of the New York Court of Appeals yesterday decriminalizing the purposeful viewing of child pornography on the Internet, Patrick Trueman, President of Morality in Media issued the following statement:

Child pornography is the photographic record of the sexual abuse of a child so it is a singular outrage that the highest court in New York State has decriminalized the act of viewing of child pornography by computer.  

Children live with shame and hurt from knowing that a record of their abuse circulates on the Internet.  Each time these photos are viewed, the child is revictimized.  Some children never recover from the experience. 

Child pornography should be treated as a very serious violation of the human dignity of the victims and those who take enjoyment from the despicable act of viewing such material should be harshly punished.  What the New York court has done is to give permission to pedophiles and child molesters to continue the sexual molestation and recording of child sex abuse.

We call upon the United States Attorney for the Southern District to immediately move to arrest and prosecute the defendant for violating federal child pornography laws.  As the Court of Appeals decision recognizes, this conduct is prosecutable under federal law.  In addition, we demand that the Attorney General and the Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention authorize the New York City and State, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces to take over all child pornography possession cases currently being prosecuted by New York State Prosecutors and investigated by the Task Forces until this opinion is overturned. 

The New York State Legislature has its work cut out for it and it should act immediately.

REVOKE BIG LABOR'S LICENSE TO KILL

A Citizen's Petition to:

My U.S. Senators and Representative

Whereas:   Every year militant union bosses deploy their thugs to target innocent men and women with threats, brass knuckles, knives and beatings in an attempt to send a simple message -- do what we want, or pay the price; and

Whereas:   Because of the 1973 Enmons decision, union officials are exempt from federal prosecution -- as long as the campaign of violence they incite is in the name of "legitimate union objectives"; and

Whereas:   Union violence is a crippling blow not only for innocent American workers targeted by union militants -- but for every American citizen; and

Whereas:   Passage of the Freedom from Union Violence Act would close the loophole in federal law and finally allow authorities to prosecute union officials for inciting violence;

Therefore: I urge you to help hold union officials accountable for union violence by cosponsoring and seeking roll-call votes on the Freedom from Union Violence Act.

Why is TruGreen promoting foul language?

Dear CEO Vidu Kulkarni:

As a mother and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am greatly disappointed in your new "What the Fffffffff--- front yard?" commercial. Does TruGreen desire for children to have dirty mouths?

TruGreen may have thought this was humorous, but it is not cute when children go around repeating what they heard on your ad.

I believe TruGreen should be more responsible in its advertising.

Please pull your "Weed Slayer" commercial immediately. If the ad continues to run as it is, then I will not feel comfortable supporting your company.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.

Secretary thrashes religious liberty on Air Force bases

As your constituent, I am increasingly disturbed by Secretary Michael Donley's leadership of the United States Air Forces.

Under his watch, in the past 12 months, religious liberties and faith-based programs have been revoked at least four times. For example, in:

• April 2012 - The Air Force removed the word "Bible" from its list of items it to be provided in Air Force-approved lodging facilities. This will almost certainly result in the eventual removal of Bibles themselves from Air Base hotels or any hotel that does business with the Air Force.

• February 2012 - The Air Force removed the word "God" from the logo of its Rapid Capabilities Office.

• November 2011 - The Air Force Academy dropped "Operation Christmas Child" after a single complaint from an atheist group. The Air Force apologized to the atheists and ordered chaplains to no longer use official mail to promote the charity.

• August 2011 - The Air Force removed "Bible verses" from a military course taught to nuclear missile officers (the ones who push the launch button).

Secretary Donley is creating a hostile environment among Airmen who hold deeply felt religious values.

Rather than holding fast and defending the deeply-held religious traditions and history of the Air Force, Secretary Donley has caved to the whims of a few vocal atheists, effectively "cleansing" it of any respect for religion.

If you serve on the Congressional Oversight Committee, I urge you to begin an investigation into the anti-religious actions of Secretary Michael Donley. If you are not on the COC, please encourage the committee to take action.

Our Airmen deserve a leader who respects the importance of faith in our nation's military. Secretary Donley has been a huge disappointment.

Please oppose the confirmation of Elissa Cadish

Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to push yet another radical anti-gunner through the U.S. Senate. This time it's Elissa Cadish, who flatly denies that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental right. Asked in 2008 by a group called Citizens for Responsible Government whether she believed an individual citizen had a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, Cadish answered: "I do not believe there is this constitutional right. Thus, I believe that reasonable restrictions may be imposed on gun ownership in the interest of public safety. Of course, I will enforce the laws as they exist as a judge." [sic] Now, she claims that she was only stating the law as it existed before the Supreme Court's Heller v. D.C. decision. But let's count the "red flags" raised by Cadish: First, the "militia" theory was not "the law" prior to Heller, either in terms of the Framers' intentions or in terms of the Supreme Court's admittedly muddled jurisprudence. Second, the concept that "restrictions ... on gun ownership [further] public safety" is a thinly veiled suggestion that, once on the bench for life, Cadish will do everything possible to thwart gun owners' rights. Third, we've heard the "enforce the law" lingo from other Obama nominees, including Sonia Sotomayor, who, as soon as she had secured confirmation, went on an anti-Second Amendment rampage. Thankfully, Nevada's other Senator, Dean Heller, is using his prerogative as one of the nominee's home state Senators to keep the Cadish confirmation from moving forward. I urge you to join with Senator Heller in opposing the confirmation of Elissa Cadish http://capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=61182881&PROCESS=Take+Action

Defeat the H.R. 308 McCarthy Magazine Ban Bill

To my U.S. Congressman and Senators: Defeat the H.R. 308
McCarthy Magazine Ban Bill 

Whereas:     The Second Amendment to the United States clearly states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and;

Whereas:     H.R. 308, the Magazine Ban Bill, would infringe on every American’s Second Amendment rights by outlawing the sale and transfer of gun magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds, and;

Whereas:     The Magazine Ban Bill would even turn widows into instant felons if their late husbands possessed a magazine capable of holding more than ten rounds, and;

Whereas:     If the gun-grabbers pass H.R. 308 through the U.S. House, they’ll then load it down with anti-gun amendments in the U.S. Senate, making the bill even worse;

Therefore:    I urge you to vote AGAINST the Magazine Ban Bill
(H.R. 308) -- or any similar bill -- at every opportunity.

Starbucks proud stance conflicts with Gods standard

Starbucks long term direction to blatantly go against time-honored standards of truth, morality and decency is extremely difficult to comprehend.  In your effort to please a core, you are backhanding millions of people with traditional family values. 

You have lost my regard.  By not consuming your products, I stand for time-honored standards of truth and against the societal corruption which you espouse.

GCB blasphemes Christ. Does it matter to you?

As a corporation that has chosen to sponsor the ABC television show “GCB”, I’m deeply concerned by your sponsorship of a show that openly ridicules the Christian faith, depicting its followers as vindictive hypocrites.

You have empowered ABC’s derisive, mocking of Christianity. From the show’s offensive and crude original title, to the twisted use of sacred scripture, to the explicit sexual imagery and themes, “GCB” is an assault upon millions of families and people of faith. This truly understates the disgusting nature of this seedy show.

Do you really want your company name associated with a show that offends millions and ridicules their faith?

Many corporations chose not to advertise on this (one of the most perverse shows ever aired) because they didn’t want their name identified with such a program.

If you continue sponsoring “GCB” I will do my best to tell my family and friends to include you on their “no shop” list. Please do the honorable thing and pull your ads from this offensive show.

Vote NO on TRICARE Fee Hikes

March 30, 2012

I am writing to urge you to oppose the Administration's budget proposal to
dramatically increase healthcare fees for most military beneficiaries.

The proposal would triple fees for working-age retirees over the next few
years, and establish a new enrollment fee for Medicare retirees, over and
above their Part B premiums. The plan would also double pharmacy copays
for fiscal 2013 and triple them over five years. As proposed, the changes
would phase in significant fee hikes for nearly every segment of the
military population, including retirees of all ages, drilling Guard and
Reserve members, and currently serving family members.

The number one priority of the federal government is to defend the nation,
and you can only do that by having people willing to serve and taking care
of those who have served. We owe a debt of more than just gratitude to
them.

Please keep the faith and oppose these proposals which do not recognize
how much of a premium has already been paid upfront by the armed forces
when they put their lives, limbs, and mental health on the line for the
safety of the country, every day and year after year.
