"Public opinion on gay and lesbian issues has shifted," she said. "The Boy Scouts and the Salvation Army are going to have to catch up with the rest of the country."

Actually, I think the Boy Scouts and the Salvation Army are going to have to LEAD the rest of the country. Salvation Army, you have my support, my admiration, and my money! Thank you!

I dropped a true five in the kettle to combat. I encourage others to do the same.

Last time I walked by a kettle all I had was a couple'a tens. Hope they don't mind that they weren't fives.

PFLAG website.

Their sponsors page is interesting:

• American Airlines
• American Express Financial Advisors
• Coors Brewing Company
• IBM

So what else is new?

[Utah Girl]

Amen. It is almost as if this country is splitting between good and evil and there is no in-between anymore. Good people are going to have to continue the fight and win...

Our church council has asked the local Salvation Army to keep all the homos' fake bills and turn them over to us, whereupon we as a church will double in real $$$ whatever the amount of the fakes. Thanks, gays, for increasing the amount the Salvation Army will take in this season -- nice protest!

[AmericanVictory]

Excellent point. Let us all pray that they may turn from their wickedness and live. Many have it in them to do so.

Some conservative activists, angered by the protest campaign, have offered to match every protest note placed in a kettle with a real $5 bill.

What about counterfit protest bills, do they get rplaced by REAL money, or counterfit money?

It seemed so mean," said Mary Scholl, mother of a gay man

Not nearly so mean as raising your son to believe that what he is doing to his body and soul is OK.

[Cobra64]

. I think this is just the gays getting airtime...

Yup, especially when they drop trou, bend over in public, waiting for a free fudge-packing; lickity-split.

95% of Bias is a repeat of everything RUSH ever said, there are some specifics that will curl your hair, particularly in the segment recounting some hateful HATEFUL comments by those on the left......some I had heard but some were new to me. He is making waves because he is a leftie himself.

He makes countless attacks on Rather, (hee hee) and after Rather's comments about the tape of OBL......FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE THIS IS OBL AND NOT SOME LOOK ALIKE...........I will support ANYONE who attacks Rather.

Guess Rather is po'ed because the Pentagon didn't cooperate with his career plans to accompany the marines to the front.

Support the Salvation Army Bump!

"...The Washington headquarters of Scholl's organization known as PFLAG has taken up the cause..."

Education is one of P-FLAG's other "causes":
