Texas FReepers, PLEASE READ! Prop. 2 banning gay marriage under attack by aclu phone campaign!!!
American Family Association

Posted on 10/25/2005 4:41:09 PM PDT by Allen H

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Pro-gay marriage groups are calling voters lying to them about Proposition 2, to try and get people to vote against it. Prop 2 would make any and all gay marriages illegal in Texas, PERIOD, and these liberal aclu funded groups are calling tens of thousands of voters, maybe more, especially the elderly who vote in support of traditional marriage in massive numbers, trying to deceive them about the proposition to get them to vote against it. PLEASE forward this to everyone you know, and encourage them to vote YES on Proposition 2, and to forward this to everyone they know, and call people that you know vote if you don't hae their email. This proves that liberals will do whatever it takes to further their homosexual agenda. PLEASE pass this on!

Allen.

Special Alert October 24, 2005 BEWARE - Misleading Information Spreading about Prop. 2

Political Advertising Campaign, "Save Texas Marriage," Is a Fraud!

Special Message from Free Market Foundation President Kelly Shackelford, Esq.

"Deceptive phone calls are now going out telling people to vote NO because of a supposed flaw in the legislation of Prop. 2. There must be a lot of them because we are getting calls from a number of supporters who are confused. The calls from "Save Texas Marriage" are so deceptive that they are even ending the call saying "God Bless You." One of these starts out from a "Reverend" and says that Governor Perry messed up, and that there is a hidden liberal agenda. The group is even calling seniors who would typically support conservative legislation. We have received several calls from people who were extremely heartbroken to learn they were mislead into voting something today they did not believe. This is an all out fraud to deceive voters. Please Beware."

Groups Using the Following Scare Tactics:

Deceptive Phone Calls

"Save Texas Marriage" has a website devoted to setting up call banks to trick voters. The argument is completely false. The second sentence in no way invalidates the first sentence. Do not be fooled, including by calls ending in, "God bless you."

Deceptive Press Conferences

According to media reports, the press conference today to announce this campaign was completely baseless. Every respectable legal leader, including groups known for advocating for same-sex marriage like Lambda Legal, have declined to support this ridiculous legal position taken by Save Texas Marriage. At this point, no other groups will associate themselves with this deceptive campaign to trick voters. The phantom group shares office space with No Nonsense in November, the PAC fighting against the amendment.

Lies to Voters at Polls

There has been confusion over how to vote at the polls. If you want to vote to only have marriages between one man and one woman, vote FOR the amendment. Voting AGAINST the amendment will mean that you want to allow homosexual marriages Texas.

PLEASE IMMEDIATELY FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!

I received a phone poll about this on Sunday that seemed to try to influence those taking the poll versus being an actual poll.. I have mixed feelings on the whole issue (that is a debate for another day) so I just bs through the answers, more interested in how the poll was built.

I got mine yesterday about this time.

My answering machine got it and I picked up and listened.

It really is very, very deceptive.

I had to explain to my wife who wasn't paying attention to the call what had just happened.

We just shook our heads, how low can a homo go?

I wish someone would get a copy of that to the conservative media, FOX News, Rush, Drudge, etc. This kind of deceitful tampering with elections has GOT TO STOP!!! THIS is where indictments are needed! Of people tampering with the political process of free and open elections, NOT with bogus criminalization of conservatives just because they're conservative, lke DeLay, Rove, and Libby. VERY low indeed.

These people doing these blatantly deceitful messages are directly interferring with voters who are NOT mixed on their feelings of the issue. There aren't any conservative groups calling liberal voters and lying to them about the wording or intent of the Propositon. It's liberal groups who are calling conservative voters and lying to them about it, to get no votes to defeat the measure. THAT is a crime. Does it change your feelings on it at all knowing that on that side of it, you have people who are coming into another State to deliberately interfere with a proposition the people of that state want to vote on, and calling people in their homes to spread patently fales information? I wouldn't want to come down on the same side of an issue with people who can't win by just being honest and telling the truth. IF they are really so righetous and good in their fight for gay marriage rights, they wouldn't need to use lies and deceit to do it.

I had 2 phone messages on my phone yesterday in Plano.
Liberals have finally come out of the closet in more ways than one. They will lie and do anything to win, just like the Communist did in USSR and Red China.

I just hope this gets all over Texas the next week and conservatives go out in droves to push this proposition to a land slide passage. If the people of Texas REALLY take a stand and turn out in massive numbers, it will say a lot, especially after such a concerted effort to deveive and lie and manipulate it by these radical flaming aclu liberals. Based on their actions with this, clearly they only believe the people have the right to decide, if they decide on the left side. That much is VERY clear about the aclu. Majority rule, only if they rule in favor of a liberal agenda. If the people speak out and back the conservative agenda, that's when the liberal judiciary comes in where they and the aclu make law and do their best to squash the will of the people, in lieu of the liberal ideology of the tiny minority that can't achieve their will with a majority consensus vote of the people. God, liberalism is such a messed up philosophy.

Liberalism IS socialism, just dressed up to look warm and fuzzy. That must not ever be forgotten.

I am in Parker and I got one yesterday too. Didn't even listen to the whole thing and deleted it. It was obvious from the first sentence what the intent was.

Yeah really. I just hope the prop passes with a huge margin to really deflate the liberal efforts to lie and corrupt it. I wish the AG would track down the people lying to voters and prosecute them for voter tampering.

And Prop 2 passed with over 78% of the vote in HIGH voter turn out for an off year election. Translation: "The american communist liberal union will NOT come into Texas with their big bags of money bring with them flaming liberals groups from all corners of the country and tamper with OUR STATE or lie to our people!!! Now get the hell out and don't come back!"
