Two Press Conferences -- Saturday and Sunday
Contact: Peter LaBarbera, Republicans for Family Values, 630-546-4439; Brian Camenker, Mass Resistance, 617-835-1369; Amy Contrada, 617-306-3701
DETROIT, Jan. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Mass Resistance (www.massresistance.org) and Republicans for Family Values (www.RFFV.org) will be holding two major press conferences today and tomorrow in Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's home state of Michigan to warn voters about the "real Mitt Romney," whose liberal, pro-homosexual record is a far cry from his pro-family campaign image.
First Press Conference ---
When: Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 1:30 p.m.
Where: Westin Detroit Airport Hotel, 2501 Worldgateway Place, Detroit, MI
Second Press Conference ---
When: Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 1:30 p.m.
Where: Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, 187 Monroe NW, Grand Rapids, MI
Massachusetts pro-family leaders Brian Camenker and Amy Contrada, who co-authored the online report, "The Mitt Romney Deception" (www.massresistance.org), will speak at the news conferences, joined by former homosexual Stephen Bennett and pro-natural-family advocate and RFFV founder Peter LaBarbera.*
LaBarbera notes that Romney recently endorsed homosexual special rights ("sexual orientation") laws for other states -- even though the array of "sexual orientation" laws in his own state of Massachusetts led to the imposition of homosexual "marriage" and "gay adoption."
"Mitt Romney's recent endorsement of pro-homosexual state laws on 'Meet the Press' shows that he still doesn't have his pro-family conversion story straight," LaBarbera said, "Of course, it disqualifies him as a pro-family leader."
One of the spokesmen for RFFV will be Stephen Bennett -- a FORMER homosexual man -- now married to his wife of 15 years and the father of the couple's two children.
Bennett is a former resident and taxpayer of Massachusetts. He now resides in Connecticut.
"As a conservative, and foremost a Christian man, I am going to Michigan with one purpose: to tell the truth about Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. Do not be deceived -- Mitt Romney is the furthest thing from being a conservative, pro-family advocate. He in no way represents my pro-family, conservative views," said Bennett.
"Romney's record proves he doesn't deserve the office of President of the United States of America. However, there is one title I'll grant Mitt Romney: the 'Father of Gay Marriage.'"
Bennett continued, "As Governor of the State of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney illegally imposed so-called homosexual "marriage" licenses on the citizens of the Bay State -- after refusing to support a marriage-protection amendment years earlier (when he was courting the Log Cabin Republican homosexuals). In doing so, he opened a tragic Pandora's Box. What the courage-less Romney did in Massachusetts will affect our entire nation for years to come."
In Boston, following the imposition of "same-sex marriage," Catholic Charities' adoption services was forced to closed its doors after refusing to place children in homosexual-led homes. Due to pro-gay laws and policies in the Bay State, parents who believe homosexuality is morally wrong are chastised and one, David Parker, was even thrown in jail because he protested his six-year-old child's public elementary school's refusal to commit to inform parents about in-class lessons promoting homosexuality.
In then-Gov. Romney's Massachusetts, state employees were threatened with firings if they refused to accept Romney's unnecessary and illegal order to distribute 'gay marriage' licenses.
"And yet Romney has the audacity to now recommend these same oppressive pro-homosexual laws to other states?" Camenker said. "Mitt Romney is running for President as a pro-life, pro-family conservative, but we in Massachusetts know the REAL Romney -- and the liberal social record he tries to keep hidden from the public makes him a threat to American families and our nation's children if he is elected President."
Camenker and Contrada wrote the "Mitt Romney Deception," a devastating report documenting Romney's liberal record and flip flops on homosexuality, abortion and other issues. Many conservatives are unaware of Romney's long pro-abortion and pro-homosexual record -- the latter which continues today with his recent endorsement on NBC's "Meet the Press" of state "gay rights" laws (see "Mitt Romney's Christmas Present to the Gay Lobby," at www.rffv.org).

AMEN to that montag!
This thread is right down there in the gutter with rotten bones and stinky rats. If this is what pro family “Christians” are all about, you can have it. Please check this out:

This pro gay individual does not believe you, all the crap you are shoveling about Romney:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJnYFU4v9a4
This strange warped hatred of gay people is unbecoming of supposedly “pro life” people.
Do you people want Romney to kill gay people? Do you want him to allow hate mongers to discriminate against them? Do you want gay people to not have jobs? Do you want gay people to not go to school?
Romney is against discrimination in all its evil forms. And for that, he is being vilified on this thread.
The guy has a wonderful family - a long happy strong marriage - five sons and beautiful grandchildren.
I think you don’t even know why you hate him so much yourselves. To pull this deception - I should say TRY to pull this deception - it is beneath dignified, decent people.
I’m beginning to think Bill O’Reilly was right about Free Republic after all.
This is probably the most frightening thread I have ever seen on FreeRepublic! It’s right up there with Nazi hatred of Jews. And when I think that it is posted by supposedly “pro family” people, I can hardly believe it. This is shocking and should not be allowed to continue.
You are obsessed with homosexuality. Mitt Romney is a decent good family man. His life speaks for itself. This trashing is disgusting and beneath decent people.
If Romney were really pro radical gay agenda, then why aren’t gay people coming out in droves to support him?

A little google on Peter LaBarbera reveals he’s from Illinois and is part of the Illinoise Family Institute. “Republicans for Family Values” was put together November 2007 to promote the theocratic socialist Huckabee under the Christian umbrella.
Mitt Romney is against discrimination in all of its evil forms.
Thank you for your post #50. This thread was starting to scare the bejeebers out of me. It’s like FreeRepublic has been taken over by Nazi’s or something. Thank God for some common sense and decency.
If this is what evangelical Christians and their god Mike Huckabee are all about, you can leave me out - way out.
Mitt Romney does not deserve this kind of heinous deceitful crap.
By the way Romney was endorsed by the Massachusetts right to life organization. He was a pro life governor.
For God’s sake, have some decency!!
Please find a single post that expresses "hatred" of homosexuals as people.
Do you people want Romney to kill gay people? Do you want him to allow hate mongers to discriminate against them? Do you want gay people to not have jobs? Do you want gay people to not go to school?
That you even ask these questions shows how unhinged you are.
Romney is against discrimination in all its evil forms. And for that, he is being vilified on this thread.
So, you view opposition to homosexual marriage as a form of discrimination?
The guy has a wonderful family - a long happy strong marriage - five sons and beautiful grandchildren.
They basically said the same thing about Jimmy Carter back in 1976.
I think you don’t even know why you hate him so much yourselves. To pull this deception - I should say TRY to pull this deception - it is beneath dignified, decent people.
I'm unaware of anyone expressing hatred for Mitt Romney, we just don't want the GOP to nominate a liberal.
I’m beginning to think Bill O’Reilly was right about Free Republic after all.
Why? Because we oppose liberalism? If you don't like it here perhaps you should leave, after all, we wouldn't want you to offend Bill O'Reilly.
This warped "pro=gay" preaching and hatred of decent moral free Americans, on a CONSERVTIVE forum, is unbecoming of supposed Conservatives. Sound irrational? Hopefully, it does, because hatred has absolutely nothing to do with it. As to your second paragraph?? Puleeeeeeease. All those claims are patently ridiculous. We did not bring their lifestyles, their immoral behavior, their intrusive, their wish for special rights, and their insistence on hate crimes laws to the forefront of politics. THEY did. We were fine with them doing exactly as they chose, UNTIL they did this, and brought it to the attention of children in school. For the record, there was never any discrimination to fight against, not in any schools, nor were there gays turning up beaten or dead. Any cases were proven to be fraudulent, including Mathew Sheppard! There is no need to stop hate where no hate existed in the first place. As to Romney, and his candidacy, again, it has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with policy and laws.
That suggestion is obscene.
Then why isn’t the gay community marching for and supportng Mitt Romney for President? You are scaring me, and if I were a lesbian, I would be terrified!

I am unaware of ANYONE on this thread who is supporting Huckabee.
If the gay community is so all fired enamored with Mitt Romney, why aren’t they supporting him for president?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJnYFU4v9a4
This whole thread is about Huckabee trying to pull a dirty trick. I should think the FredHeads would be mad as hell!
