=== 1. ARTICLE 8 / PARENTS’ RIGHTS COALITION FILES FOUR BILLS IN MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE – on same-sex “marriage” and the homosexual agenda in the schools. ===
Article 8 Alliance / Parents’ Rights Coalition gets four important bills filed in the Mass. Legislature – to reverse the same-sex “marriage” ruling and stop the homosexual programs in the public schools.
We are serious about taking back our government, reversing the horrific same-sex “marriage” ruling, and stopping the radical homosexual agenda in the schools. And more and more Massachusetts legislators are agreeing with us. We’ve listed below the sponsors and co-sponsors of the bills. But in addition, MANY MORE legislators said they’ve had enough, and will vote with us when these bills get to the floor! The 2005-2006 legislative session began this week, and we’re ready. . .
A. The Bill of Address
The cornerstone of taking back our government is removing activist judges who illegally and fraudulently twist the law to impose their own social and political agendas on the people. Our Constitution, written by John Adams, was specifically designed with the “bill of address” to protect the people. We must use it. So it's been re-filed.
Enacting the Bill of Address for this fraudulent ruling will be the official declaration that the ruling was unconstitutional and is null and void, and will keep a future court from repeating that ruling.
Docket # 538. Sponsor: Rep. Emile Goguen. Co-sponsors: Rep. Edward Connolly, Rep. David Nangle, Rep. Marie Parente, Rep. Philip Travis.
Resolved, That both houses of the legislature hereby request the governor by way of address, under the provisions of Article I Chapter III of Part the Second of the Constitution, to remove Margaret H. Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, from her office, to remove Roderick L. Ireland, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, from his office, to remove John M. Greaney, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, from his office, and to remove Judith A. Cowin, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, from her office.
B. Officially, in statute, defining marriage as one man and one woman.
As the Bill of Address recognizes that the SJC court decision was illegal, null and void, this law proceeds from there and clarifies once and for all what's been obvious for all of history (note that “civil unions” are also disallowed):
Docket # 539. Sponsor: Rep. Emile Goguen. Co-sponsor: Rep. Philip Travis.
AN ACT TO DEFINE MARRIAGE AS THE UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
It being the public policy of this Commonwealth to protect the unique relationship of marriage in order to promote, among other goals, the stability and welfare of society and the best interests of children, only the union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Massachusetts. Any other relationship shall not be recognized as a marriage or its legal equivalent, nor shall it receive the benefits or incidents exclusive to marriage from the Commonwealth, its agencies, departments, authorities, commissions, offices, officials and political subdivisions.
C. Officially nullifying same-sex "marriages".
Gov. Romney began authorizing same-sex marriages last May 17, even though no law was ever changed to allow that. Even the House of Representatives Legal Counsel, whom we consulted, agreed with that assessment. Thus, the following bill has been introduced :
Docket # 540. Sponsor: Rep. Emile Goguen.
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THE STATUS OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGES PERFORMED UNDER PUBLIC AUTHORITY IN MASSACHUSETTS SINCE MAY 17, 2004.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
It is hereby declared that all same-sex marriages performed under public authority in Massachusetts since May 17, 2004 are without statutory basis; and no marriage performed in Massachusetts will be considered legally binding which is not established by Massachusetts statute, not withstanding licensing through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, or city or town clerk.
D. Re-filing the strengthened Parental Notification Law
This updates the flawed law passed in 1996. The gay lobby and Planned Parenthood know that this will stop the homosexual agenda in the public schools by giving parents the power, and not the gay activists. Parents would no longer have to struggle to “opt-out” their kids (if they can) but choose to “opt-in”. Last year the homosexual lobby fought this bitterly. This year we'll win!
Docket # 1168. Sponsor: Rep. Joyce Spiliotis. Co-sponsors: Sen. Robert Hedlund, Sen. Richard Moore, Rep. Bruce Ayers, Rep. Vinny deMacedo, Rep. Brian Golden, Rep. Emile Goguen, Rep. Shirley Gomes, Rep. Robert Hargraves, Rep. Paul Kujawski, Rep. James Miceli, Rep. Shirley Owens-Hicks, Rep. Marie Parente, Rep. Jeffrey Perry, Rep. Philip Travis, Rep. Daniel Webster.
AN ACT RELATIVE TO PARENTAL NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Chapter 71, Section 32A of the General Laws is hereby amended to be the following: -
Section 32A. Every city, town, regional school district or vocational school district implementing or maintaining curriculum or portion thereof, or school sanctioned program or activity, which primarily involves human sexual education, human sexuality issues, or sexual orientation issues shall adopt a written policy ensuring parental/guardian notification.
All such curriculum, programs, and activities shall be offered only in clearly identified non-mandatory elective courses in which parents or guardians may choose to enroll their children through written notification to the school, in a manner reasonably similar to other elective courses offered by the school district.
To the extent practicable, instruction materials and related items for said curriculum, programs, and activities shall be made reasonably accessible to parents, guardians, educators, school administrators, and others for inspection and review.
No public school teacher or administrator shall be required to participate in any such curriculum, programs, or activities that violate his or her religious beliefs.
These are the tools we'll need to take back our government. We've got a LOT more support in the Legislature than before, and it's growing. It's up to us to roll up our sleeves and get it done.
=== 3. Fundraising progress ... ===
We’ve extended our one-month goal by three days, to end at midnight next Friday, Jan. 15 – to raise $20,000 by that date – to help citizens take their fight right to the State House and beyond!
As of today, we’ve raised $11,060.00 !
Let’s meet the goal and start out this year strong!
(As we’ve reported, right now the homosexual groups are raising tons of money to push their agenda even further this year -- in the schools, and particularly in the legislature. For example, the "Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus" has just announced that they've received a "$100,000 challenge pledge" from a wealthy donor to the homosexual movement, to get matching donations. WE CAN STOP THEM and take back our government – with YOUR help!)

What is a "hate group"? Hate groups are groups which are opposed to certain types of people just because of their race, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference. For instance, the Ku Klux Klan, which is anti-black and anti-Semitic, is a hate group. The Nation of Islam, which is very anti-Semitic, is also a hate group. The most common targets of hate groups in the United States consist of African-Americans, Jews, homosexuals, Hispanics, and to a lesser extent, other recent immigrant groups and Catholics. The creator of the Militia Watchdog website is Mark Pitcavage. Mark Pitcavage is a historian who has specialized in the history of right-wing extremism in contemporary America. He is the Director of Fact Finding for the Anti-Defamation League. http://www.militia-watchdog.org/students.asp#4.%20%20What%20is%20a%20%22hate%20group%22? |
