Pennsylvania legislators sponsor new same-sex hate bill!
http://www.dailylocal.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=16024400&BRD=1671&PAG=461&dept_id=17782&rfi=6

Some excerpts from the article:

If marriage isn’t defined as only a union between one man and one woman, state Rep. Arthur D. Hershey believes people will want to marry animals.

Hershey, of Cochranville, who represents the 13th District,was one of about 90 legislators, including four others from Chester County, to cosponsor the Marriage Protection Act, a bill introduced Tuesday to constitutionally define marriage in Pennsylvania.

...

"The bill is discriminatory, bigoted and just plain stupid," said Paul Scoles, a Democrat from Haverford, who is running for the 7th Congressional seat in this year’s election.

Scoles, who is gay, continued, "This legislation is designed to distract Pennsylvanians from the work the Legislature should be doing, to divide us from one another and ultimately to discriminate against gay and lesbian families and individuals."

...

Okay, me again. Lots of other classic quotes in the article. It seems he's got a petition on his website, which I'm trying to find. Anybody with contact info, please post it. Thanks!

4. Now, see, if Democrats were smart, they'd go on Rovian attacks
"I pity a child where people think they can live with their lover and then adopt children. It’s just not natural."

New Radio Ad:

State Representative Art Hershey wants to take away the right of people in Pennsylvania to adopt.

In fact, he even said families who adopt are "not natural."

Art Hershey hates American families. Call Art Hershey's office today and tell him to stop destroying American Families.

5. actually if marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman
then all humans are good for is procreation and that's what people with prurient interests in livestock call "animal husbandry".

If you want marriage to be about loving families, then you have to encourage loving families, not just breeding more human livestock.
