NEA/VEA endorsement of Jim Webb

[Gopher Broke]

October 27, 2006

Dear xxxxxx,

As you know, the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education has recommended the candidacy of James Webb in Virginia’s U. S. Senate election.

Today Norfolk’s Virginian-Pilot endorsed Webb. They also placed on the editorial page information regarding Mr. Webb’s Navy Cross, the nation's second-highest award for bravery in facing an enemy.

The Washington Post and other papers have endorsed Webb, but as the Pilot had days earlier endorsed a Republican candidate for the Congressional race in that region, it seems that this endorsement is clearly more about qualifications and character than about politics.

Please share this information.

Thank you,

I guess the NEA likes candidates who have pedophiliac fantasies, writes books demeaning to women and that are full of racial slurs.

I hear rumors that the homosexual agenda research institute (kidding!), as most lefty organizations... resort to lies or disinformation To confuse the voters on how to vote on the ANTI-GAY-MARRIAGE amendments in the different states. So, I did a little research to be absolutely sure how to vote on it in VIRGINIA only! (other states maybe different). - Public Announcement from EP :)

1 FINAL COPY Proposed Constitutional Amendment To Be Voted on at the November 7, 2006, Election PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Article I. Bill of Rights. Section 15-A. Marriage. BALLOT QUESTION NUMBER 1

Excerpt -------------------------

EXPLANATION Present Law The Constitution does not define marriage. Under current statutory law in Virginia, persons who marry must have a license and be married by a licensed minister, judge, or other person authorized by law to perform marriages. Present law prohibits marriages between certain individuals. For example, the law prohibits a marriage between a brother and sister, between a couple where one of the parties is married to someone else, and between couples of the same sex. In 1975, the General Assembly enacted a statute (present Code of Virginia § 20- 45.2) that states "A marriage between persons of the same sex is prohibited." In 1997, the General Assembly added a sentence to § 20-45.2 that states that: 2 Any marriage entered into by persons of the same sex in another state or jurisdiction shall be void in all respects in Virginia and any contractual rights created by such marriage shall be void and unenforceable. In 2004, the General Assembly passed a law to prohibit certain civil unions or other arrangements between persons of the same sex. That law (Code of Virginia § 20- 45.3) states that: A civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage is prohibited. Any such civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement entered into by persons of the same sex in another state or jurisdiction shall be void in all respects in Virginia and any contractual rights created thereby shall be void and unenforceable.

Thus, civil unions or other arrangements which purport “to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage” are prohibited by statute.

Proposed Amendment If approved by the voters, this proposed amendment will become part of the Constitution of Virginia. The proposed amendment adds a definition of marriage as the “union between one man and one woman” to the Constitution's Bill of Rights and prohibits Virginia and its counties, cities, and towns from creating or recognizing any legal status by any name which is comparable to marriage. Marriage in the Commonwealth creates specific legal rights, benefits, and obligations for a man and a woman. There are other legal rights, benefits, and obligations which will continue to be available to unmarried persons, including the naming of an agent to make end-of-life decisions by an Advance Medical Directive (Code of Virginia § 54.1-2981), protections afforded under Domestic Violence laws (Code of Virginia § 18.2- 57.2), ownership of real property as joint tenants with or without a right of survivorship (Code of Virginia § 55-20.1), or disposition of property by will (Code of Virginia § 64.1- 46).

A "yes" vote on the proposed amendment will result in the addition of the proposed Section 15-A to Article I, the Bill of Rights. A "no" vote will mean that there will be no change made in Article I, the Bill of Rights."

Well............that figures. I would be surprised if they DIDN'T. Pervert association who teach our kids.

Well, the NEA has been pushing the homosexual agenda for years so it's no surprise they don't mind that Webb writes about pedophilia and incest.

I hope you all heard today that Webb called into a radio show and said he witnessed a father putting his young son's private parts in his mouth. It sounds like rather than call the authorities, Webb chose to write about it instead. Which means he doesn't have the good judgment to hold elective office.

Oh, and by the way: Webb said today that homosexual fellatio isn't really sex.

If that's the case, the Democrats had better rethink their outrage at Foley who wrote about but didn't actually have sex with male Pages.

A lot of people were shocked that the Virginia-Pilot endorsed Republican Thelma Drake over Kellam for the 2nd district congressional race.

However, it should be noted that Kellam made them really mad because he cancelled his debates with Drake. And their "endorsement" of Drake was very weak for her, mostly an attack on Kellam.

Nobody is surprised that V-P endorsed Webb. Some speculate that their endorsement of Drake was meant to provide extra "weight" for their endorsement of Webb.

Are you kidding? Webb probably PAID to see that show.

They'll try to put his books in the schools but keep out the Holy Bible.

Rush Limbaugh started his show today by reading several excerpts from Webb's books. Even Rush blanked one of the words.
And to hear Dodd tell Imus - Don't read it to me...

When the NEA is something more than a branch of the Democratic Party, I might take them seriously.
