We need to challenge the Philly hate crimes laws. We need to petition for a "Sodomy-is-an-Abomination" rally in Philadelphia, and see if it will be permitted. If not, then we remove the veil. Conservative legal groups can sue, and that is just the beginning of what will happen there. Checkmate.
You might try later, like after the football season is over.

"...Here's what should have happened next: a fine for disorderly conduct or other misdemeanor for those who did the most to disobey police. Instead, city prosecutors came up with a silly, public-enemy list of felony charges and lesser infractions. Bingo: martyrs-to-a-cause born..."
"...Out of the hundreds of 2000 Republican National Convention protesters charged with crimes, the overwhelming majority eventually were cleared. In fact, the last of those protesters were acquitted only a week or so after the Outfest arrests. Even if Abraham hopes to polish her tough-on-crime image, engaging in overkill with felony charges against street protesters is no way to go..."
The kool thing is, your efforts are recorded, both in the FR and at my small news talk site. Soon, if the Good Lord wills it, there will be people with news letters, reading your posts.
Regarding the future, you don't have to be a one-trick pony. You have countless options to consider. You were told 'no' three times. You don't need Rush, anyway. He needs people like us, actually.
I'm thinking Savage might be a good one to talk with. This is right up his alley. Also, where I live just happens to be near Lynchburg, Jerry Falwell's town. And, I live in Congressman Goode's district. So there are plenty of options for both of us.
Something I'm beginning to believe: Getting the word out, for almost all of us, is more like piecing a puzzle together than attempting an all-out frontal attack. It's a matter of timing and ideal 'locations', fitting a loose plan together, step-by-step, and keeping an eye out for contingencies.

Despite Temporary Stay, Judge Orders Bible Removed
By Allie Martin January 13, 2005
(AgapePress) - A Bible has been removed from a display on the grounds of a Texas courthouse after an appeals court lifted an order that had kept the Bible in place. The head of a Christian group in the Lone Star State the action should outrage followers of Christ across the nation. [snip]

Non-violent pro-life protest at abortuary in Pittsburgh. We didn't harm the pro-aborts.
Yes it should be allowed, because freedom of speech and movement and assembly are more important than a prevent defense against violence.
Violence should be prosecuted, not speech or assembly.
Being that you crashed their demonstration, it sounds like you were fortunate that they had enough self restraint to allow you interfere without “harming” you.
Maybe you’d feel differently if you saw one of your own lose it and harm a “pro-abort pervert” carrying a bull horn through your protest. If that wouldn’t be enough to make you understand, maybe a larger, more equal and better armed clash over the same demonstration space would do the trick.
The “Christian” who refused to stay in his area did not have his freedom of speech violated any more than if the had been black he would have had his freedom to be black violated. He simply disrespected the law that keeps opposition protests separated and allows little girls a voice without arming themselves for probable battle first.
Opposition forces are kept apart for the same reason that the families of victims are not allowed to bring their weapons into court. The first is no more of a violation of the first amendment than the second is of the second. Both stem from a recognition that circumstances for violence are greatly enhanced so we empower the police with the authority to impose the minimal amount of restraint to keep order without any practical violation of anyone’s rights.
But some people are really just looking for trouble while pretending and hiding behind their freedom of speech. They probably don’t get how easy they are to spot. Like all criminals, they probably think they’re smarter than everyone else. If they don’t learn, they have to be arrested.
No, they crashed our demonstration in the times I was thinking of. I think we only crashed them once. We stood on the sidelines and shouted and waved placards at them. But nothing happened.
Diversity/tolerance crowd shows its true face.
In Sweden for the same crime a pastor was sentenced only for one month in prison.
This is correct. Rush Limbaugh's job is to shill the Republican party line. No more nor less.
Keep us posted and keep up the good work.
Thank you for the link.
I've been haunted by your post on 103, about a petition by homosexual prosecutors. Do you remember anything about it? The homosexual agenda is really ticking me off lately.
