Sign the Manhattan Declaration
http://manhattandeclaration.org/sign-the-declaration ^

Posted on 11/24/2009 1:19:30 PM PST by MNDude

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1.the sanctity of human life 2.the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife 3.the rights of conscience and religious liberty. Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

SIGNED

... "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; ... Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Abortion is not only abhorrent to civilized people, but violates the basic tenets on which this Country was founded.

I signed it. I also heard about it on EWTN a couple of days ago. Today, they said the numbers are zooming. It only takes a minute or two. It’s our last chance, folks. Go sign it. Send it to your friends.

I oppose it, and won’t sign it.

Care to elaborate?

First and foremost, in the document is the claim that gay marriage was “judicially-imposed” in Massachusetts. That’s a pernicious lie.

Not surprising that that particular lie is contained in this declaration, though, since the primary PR firm handling this project (and collecting hundreds of thousands of names) is THE big evangelical money man for Mitt Romney. Many of the original signers have taken large amounts for their organizations to either support or hush up about Romney’s imposition of gay marriage, socialized medicine, taxpayer-funded abortions, homosexualized public schools and gun bans.

"Many of the original signers have taken large amounts for their organizations"

EV, this interests me. Names? Documents? Links?

And --- a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. Thanking God at all times!

This is very interesting, but not all that surprising.

Can you ping me with more details.

For starters, plug “Mitt Romney” and “Mark DeMoss” into your search engine and start connecting the dots.

Busy with family but I’ll be happy to follow up with more later.

I hope you and yours have a blessed holiday.

Something to think about before you decide to sign:

I read what was on this site. Pathetic. Persons with minds this small would definitely not fit in with those signing the Declaration. The author of the site sounds like he's a member of the Westboro Baptist Church.
