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).

I watched the video, what are we supposed to take from it?

[gidget7]

I hear crickets! Guess we are going to wait a while for an answer to that question!

Don't ever expect concrete answers from the Romneyites or expect them to talk about concrete facts. They typically just post talking points from Romney's campaign and call us "haters" and Nazis for opposing Romney's liberalism. Like all liberals, when they don't like the truth, they stoop to projection.

"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."

I've had your thoughts, but come to the conclusion that it's best to allow people to express their views whether hateful, bigoted or not. Otherwise, we are left ignorant. I don't agree with the fear and smear factors -- all in the name of Christian love and search for truth, of course (wink, wink) -- but it's certainly eye opening. The disingenuous Peter LaBarbera and others like him are troubling. For him to purport that he is from Mass when apparently he is not, is not honest. But then Huckabee and his disciples have proven less than genuine time and again.

If Peter LaBarbera is such a rabid anti-gay activist (which apparently he is), why isn't he barking after the Democratic candidates instead of snarling and biting at Republican candidates, namely Romney?

[wagglebee]

If you had bothered doing any research, you would also realize that Peter LaBarbera is the president of Americans for Truth and has been actively been fighting against militant homosexualism for a long time.

This isn’t just about Huckabee’s liberalism, it’s about Romney’s liberalism too. And the reason they are not going after the Democrats is because it is a foregone conclusion that they will nominate someone who supports the militant homosexual agenda, the GOP doesn’t need to do that.

"If you had bothered doing any research, you would also realize that Peter LaBarbera is the president of Americans for Truth and has been actively been fighting against militant homosexualism for a long time. http://www.americansfortruth.com/"

Peter seems to be the president of, or the founder of, or the leader of a lot of various anti-gay groups. He also seems to be from a lot of places. He also likes making videos filled with gay porn activity. (I searched his name on youtube not expecting to find this out. I don't believe it's necessary to view vile behavior in order to address it.) He also seems to be doing all he can to help his theocratic socialist Huckabee get the nomination for President. Does the man (Peter) have a day job?

I'm not all that happy with the Republican candidates, but Romney is hardly the worst of the lot.

The difference between the Jews argument and the Gay's argument is ? the Jews were born Jewish... Gays chose to be gay...
The same bogus argument the Gays claim that they have or had the same struggle as the blacks did... the black people were born into the race they put here on earth, the Gays chose to live a perverted life style.

[Salvation]

Pray for an end to abortion and the conversion of America to a mindset of life!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" If Romney were really pro radical gay agenda, then why aren’t gay people coming out in droves to support him?"


Because it is all part of the Liberal agenda plan to infiltrate the GOP in a stealthy manner, and to bring down the conservative moment in a Trojan horse way.
If the gays were to do what you are asking, for the gays to be coming out in droves to support Mitt... the sneak stealthy Trojan horse plan would be exposed and he would definitely lose any support in the GOP.

It's all part of a sneaky plan and agenda to bring down the GOP.

[the808bass]

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.

Man. I would have never guessed that!!!! /s

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" Saundra, you need to read this post by JR. He has stated several times that those who are unhappy with the FR site are free to leave at any time."

Liberal trolls , Trojan horse infiltrators, liberals who are supposedly " Conservative " liberal hiding behind fake conservative masks, are here on FR to muddle up the waters, to stir up contention, to cause chaos here on a conservative form.

That is their plan and agenda.... and it needs to be stopped.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" Like all liberals, when they don't like the truth, they stoop to projection."
And personal attacks.

Bye, bye! The WAnkers are waiting for you.

Ms. Duffy, I’m a newbie, and I see I’m late to this thread, but I just wanted to say I admire your guts in stating an unpopular opinion in a rational manner, and in sticking up for the underdog. Well done!

[dgiovan]

Forgive my ignorance, but what on earth is “militant homosexualism”?

[dgiovan]

Are you serious? Or just pulling our legs?

[wagglebee]

It’s the militant agenda that behavior that is practiced by less than 5% of the population is somehow “normal” and that it should be taught in schools. It is also the absurd notion that homosexuals are “denied” rights that everyone else has.
