All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. (Or something like that.) Kudos to all who Freeped the SA.

It shows there is no gray area of accommodation between homosexual activism and religious freedom!

Now we just need to get some film footage of Mel Gibson yelling that from the back of a horse!

"This is a huge victory for pro-family forces. It shows there is no gray area of accommodation between homosexual activism and religious freedom," said Robert H. Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, an affiliate of Concerned Women for America.

Good news!

I will be sending a check with this article attached. Saying as long as they continue to do the right thing, so will I!

I, also, donate monthly with a automatic special donation added to my PG&E utility bill! That came close to being cancelled! I will attach a copy of my PG&E bill with the monthly and ytd donations printed on my bill!

By attaching my check to this article, there will be no guessing on their part about why will continue to donate or discontinue if they make the wrong choice!
