The anti-family movement is pressuring the Boy Scouts to surrender. To give up their honor. To accept unnatural behavior -- sin -- and abandon their morally sound membership policy which bars open homosexuals from holding leadership positions.
According to a recent statement by Deron Smith, director of Boy Scouts public relations, “... the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation..."
The proposed policy shift would place the moral welfare of 2.7 million boys involved in the institution at risk.
Top leaders of the Boy Scouts will meet on Wednesday to make a final decision -- to surrender on principles or stand strong.
With all urgency, please sign your online petition here. Urge the Scouts to stand strong.
Please consider taking these additional actions:
1. Write a Facebook post
Tell the Boy Scouts to stand strong by posting a message on their facebook page here. For example: For God and country, do what is right. Boys need moral and virtuous leaders. Stand firm on moral principles. Don't let the homosexual movement bully you.
2. Tweet this message
Post the following tweet:
To the @BoyScouts: Don't give up your honor. Don't change. Keep your moral policy as is. #BoyScouts http://dld.bz/cdhfH @tfpsa
3. Send a personal email
You can also send a personal email to the following email addresses:
-- Mr. Wayne Brock, Chief Boy Scouts Executive
Wayne.Brock@Scouting.org, feedback@scouting.org, nationalsupportcenter@scouting.org
4. Make some calls
Contact the board members who will be casting their votes on the issue directly.
Ask them to vote AGAINST any policy change that would allow open homosexuals to lead young, impressionable boys.

You need help. Really.
Next, dear leader will insist there be a NAMBLA merit badge.
But you saw that separate message I sent you ~ and you are right, some of them are getting sneaky about flowing traffic back to their site, but when they flow it back to read stuff at their site that another FR friend has asked us not to excerpt from his site ~ just reference ~ then we have a different sort of problem.
The theft is not from FR ~ since there's no advertising here, but there is a theft from a third party friend who we have agreed to not excerpt due to harm it may cause his limited budget operation.
I'd think just one piece of evidence would be enough to pull someone's posting privileges for years!
In this case, i'd link the evidence then bust 'em
Be careful going after these folks in public when they have a hot ticket topic at the lede ~ then we think you have a problem with our concern over that topic and you don't want that.
well said. Flying around like a bat just targeting socks with rocks may well land you.

Only in your BSA fantasy land.
We called.
Well I guess after you kiss my ass we’ll just agree to disagree.
bttt
You can Bitch. I see a problem and correct it. Guess who wins the uninformed idiot award? I nominated you. Good Luck, your in the top 1.
Like some butt-munch blogger re-writing stuff or making it up and demanding hits to read it?
Problems like that?
Like that same wanker USING Free Republic as an advertising tool?
Problems like that?
You want to "teach" "boys" anything now? Teach them asymmetrical warfare.
Relax, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Keep up the semi-decent work.
I have friends to entertain.
I would appreciate it if you you would refrain from iterative postings. Thank you.
The wrong side, as usual.

The Boy Scouts was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. As a private organization they have the right to uphold their principles. But if their leaders choose to defer to the more “modern” principles of their rich donors, then they will wreck what they are trying to protect. Conservative church organizations will have no choice but to abandon their connection with the Scouts or be likewise branded as opportunists pandering to current moral values.
