I received this from Marylyn Musgrave who authored the Federal Marriage Ammendment. Of course, she is being attacked by the wealthy homosexual lobby who think they can buy American culture and twist it to their liking. I hope people can help her out and she stays in office.

Friday, October 15th, 2004

      Dear friend of the family,

      Radical homosexual-agenda leaders have declared me Public Enemy #1 and are spending over a million dollars on vicious, false TV ads to defeat me.

      I need your help.

      You may know that I have been the U.S. House leader to protect traditional marriage from the radical agenda of the homosexual lobby by sponsoring the Marriage Protection Amendment.

      What you may not know is that the last sponsor of the Amendment was defeated for re-election, and now the bull's eye is on my back.

      Leaders of the homosexual lobby know if they can take me out, no one will stand against them in the future.

     I have no other choice but to ask for urgent help from pro-family Americans like you.

     Here is what we are up against:

     Three multi-millionaire, pro-gay marriage donors to my liberal Democrat opponent have already maxed out their contributions to his campaign.

     So they created a front organization called a "527" to attack me from the shadows with some of the most dishonest and vile attacks anyone has ever seen.

     One TV ad has an actress pretending to be me, looting a corpse in a funeral home!

      Of course, the ad is full of distorted facts and blatant lies.

     The most offensive ad is where the actress portraying me is stealing money out of the wallet of a soldier during combat!

      These ads could defeat me if I don't get immediate help so I can defend my record and our values.

      Unfortunately it looks like these ads are just the beginning of a string of hurtful and disgraceful ads my opponent and his radical pro-homosexual marriage backers will be running through Election Day.

      They will stop at nothing.

     In fact, my staff has checked with the TV stations and they’ve bought about $1,000,000 of airtime for these horrible ads.

      With such a huge media buy, they could succeed in defeating me and crush the pro-marriage movement.

     The truth is, these ads cannot go unanswered, we have to confront these lies and expose their deception – at the same time defend my conservative record and our shared values.

      My goal is to launch an ad campaign that not only meets theirs, but surpasses it.

      But to do so will cost a tremendous amount of money, money that I just don’t have, that’s why I’m asking for your help today.

      I need to raise $450,000 in the next two weeks if we are going to put out our ads in time to make a difference.

      That may sound like a lot, but I am certain with help from pro-family supporters like you we can do it.

      There is literally no time to wait.

      Please, please send my re-election campaign a generous donation of $250, $100, or $50 or even $25, today. The maximum any one person can give is $2000.

      The fact is, any amount you can give will help me withstand the mudslinging from my radical opponents and allow me to return to Congress to keep leading the fight for our traditional family values.

      To make it more convenient for you, I set up this special web page for you to use your credit card: http://www.musgrave2004.com/donation.html.

     Or click here to go to the end of the email and fill out the convenient mail-in form.

      Your donation will allow me to launch an ad campaign to answer the lies and deceptions of my opponent and the liberal special interests.

      To be honest, seeing these ads has been very stressful on my family and me.

      I’m also worried that if I don’t raise enough money for our ad campaign, I will be powerless to respond to these vicious attacks against me.

     Unlike the homosexual lobbies’ ads, my ad campaign will be based on truth and compare my solid record to that of my opponent, liberal Democrat Stan Matsunaka

      Stan Matsunaka fears the truth because he knows his record in the State Senate shows he supports homosexual marriage and will promote it as a U.S. Congressman.

      If we allow these vicious ads to go unanswered then Stan Matsunaka and the radical homosexual lobby could succeed by deceiving the voters, and win on Election Day.

      That’s why I so urgently need your help today. We are so close to the election day, please help me.

     Please let me know I can count on you by sending your generous support of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 or whatever you can afford, to help counter the vicious attacks from my pro-gay marriage opponents.

     I hope you will do so right away by going to http://www.musgrave2004.com/donation.html or by going to the end of the email and filling out the mail-in form.

     Truly, this is an emergency turn of events for my campaign and for the whole pro-family movement.

      Remember that the last Congressman to introduce a Marriage Protection Amendment was defeated for re-election.

      Please don't let these millionaire, pro-gay marriage leaders get away with stealing this election. Please help.

      God bless.

Sincerely, Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R) 4th District, Colorado

P.S.

I truly need your help right away. The $1 million of nasty and vicious attack ads against me are being funded by angry liberals in order to defeat me because of my leadership to defend marriage between one man and one woman. If you wait, it could be too late to help at this most critical last stage of the election.

From Marylyn Musgrave for United States Congress website:

Conservative Values

Our American way of life, from Constitutional rights to the concept of limited government is under attack. The values of our founders, free worship, free speech, and free enterprise must be upheld. I pledge to continue to work with President Bush and all principled public officials to help restore dignity and integrity to our government and our nation. I will continue Congressman Schaffer's exemplary record on these vital matters. I support the Pledge of Allegiance, traditional marriage, and all those principles that make this nation great..

[Agitate]

ping?

[LiberalSlayer99]

Sorry. No help from me. The government has no business in the marriage business period (straight or gay). If we are a truly limited government then this shouldn't be an issue.

Marriage is best left to the churches, synagogues and chapels...not the state.

[Sam the Sham]

Typical libertarian foolishness.

[LiberalSlayer99]

Rather than replying with an ad hominem attack, refute it with a well-defended view.

[sasafras]

Liberalslayer99 in name only - your a fool to think that you can seperate morality and the govt. Whats next sentencing for the death penalty should only be between the accuser and the convicted? Wake up idiot.

[investigateworld]

I went to her donation page and was advised "Page not available. Can this be bumped to top.

[LiberalSlayer99]

Liberalslayer99 in name only - your a fool to think that you can seperate morality and the govt. Whats next sentencing for the death penalty should only be between the accuser and the convicted? Wake up idiot.

Your comparing apples and oranges (consensual activities among adults vs. someone harming another individual). Again, another ad hominem attack. You're arguing like a liberal. Please try again.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping - this is one good Congresswoman. She should stay in office. Anyone who can help, I hope you take some action.

I get her e-newsletter, and I know she is on the right, conservative side on many issues.

Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

[Agitate]

Hmm....I just got through to http://www.musgrave2004.com/donation.html myself.
Bump

[DirtyHarryY2K]

If you think this issue is just about "Two consenting adults" then obviously you are a member of this party...

or this one...

[little jeremiah]

IOW, if the world were all different, things would be different.

Mmm hmm, yup. Things sure would be very different if it was a different world.

[Agitate]

Marriage is best left to the churches, synagogues and chapels...not the state.

It doesn't appear to be happening that way. The Mass. decision earlier was made in a court. The way I see it, we don't have a choice or the luxury of holding fast to ideal political philosophies, regardless of how excellent they may be. It's already gone to the government level.

This is a fight and traditional values in the USA can't afford to lose. Allowing marriage to be re-defined is the top of a long, harmful slippery slope.

This is intended as a respectful, albeit strong disagreement, not a flame btw.

[LiberalSlayer99]

Nope...neither.

As I stated previously the government has no business in the marriage business. If they need to track it for citizenship purposes then all unions as far as the state is concerned should be civil unions.

Marriage has traditionally been a religious ceremony best left to the religion of your choice.

[Sam the Sham]

Typical libertarian idiocy.

Since the dawn of human history government has been part of marriage either as clan, tribe, tradition, or as the state because it is of the utmost importance to the health and moral tone of civil society. Since people no longer live lives in which anti-social behavior is held in check by fear of ostracism or disgrace from clan, tribe, tradition, or "what the neighbors will say" (the only circumstances under which a libertarian society could ever work) they look to government to enforce the societal consensus. This is because it has always been a matter of extreme public interest to see to it that women and children are looked after.

As we see from Europe, a society in which sodomy has won is a pagan, hedonistic, barbaric one in which marriage collapses completely and the birthrate drops below the replacement rate. You cannot have civilization in the absence of a state committed to enforcing codes of civilized behavior. That means Judeo-Christian morality because, frankly, the alternatives just don't work.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

The State (Govt) most certainly has an interest in preserving marriage, as marriage results in families. Familes are what make up villages/towns/cities/states. Without the "family", society, and to a large extent, basic human morality are thrown under a bus.

The State recognizing marriage as one man-one woman preserves that tradition which has held society together. If the State were to suddenly dissolve that, and make marriage and family whatever anyone wants it to be, society will suffer because of that experiment.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Yeah, what you said.

(Your words - much more eloquent than my disjointed babble)

[Fayre Verona]

Thank you, Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave and God bless you. Otherwise, the Woody Allens and Mary Kay Letourneaus ("The romance that was a crime") of the world will be the next group demanding their "rights" to marry.

Sin is sin. I'm glad there is someone in Congress who knows that.

[LiberalSlayer99]

It doesn't appear to be happening that way. The Mass. decision earlier was made in a court. The way I see it, we don't have a choice or the luxury of holding fast to ideal political philosophies, regardless of how excellent they may be. It's already gone to the government level.

That is a good argument worth commenting on and I respect your opinion.

Yes, it has gone to the government level. I do support conservative politicians in the hopes that strict Constititutionalist judges will replace the leftist lackeys in our courts now. I feel that the only way we'll get off the slippery slope and get the government out of our lives is to support conservatives that hold dear the Constitution...not the leftists that believe it to be a "living" document. However, I believe the gay-marriage issue is a non-starter and yet another example of government attempting to dictate to the lives of private citizens.

I believe that Roe vs. Wade decision is bad law just as I believe that the Texas Sodomy Supreme Court decision is bad law. I don't like the Supreme Court legislating from the bench. On the other hand, I question the validity of the sodomy law as it infringes on personal freedom among the activities of adults. Abortion infringes on the freedom of the fetus so I'm firmly anti-abortion (Libertarians tend to split on this issue)

This is intended as a respectful, albeit strong disagreement, not a flame btw.

No flaming from me. Just trying to argue a point.

[LiberalSlayer99]

That is a legitimate argument. Marriage as an institution protecting the family is a noble cause. But I disagree that the government is necessary to enforce those mores. The real problem with the current liberal government is that personal responsibility takes a backseat to government responsibilty. In other words, you can do what you want, but take no responsibility for your actions because the government will protect you.

As a Libertarian, I'm for holding people responsible for their actions. Though I personally could care less what takes place in the bedroom with any 2 consenting adults, I don't agree with openly gay behavior. Why? Essentially they broadcast who they have sex with. If they kept that information to themselves, I'd have no issue. Action without responsibility.

I'm not FOR gay marriage by any stretch. I'm against the government being involved in marriage to begin with. But openly homosexual people should not expect their behavior to be accepted as "normal" for clearly it is not. Action without responsibility is foisted upon us by liberals.

Finally, drop the Libertarian idiocy line and I'd have a bit more respect for your point-of-view.
