Via Family Research Council Hate Group leader and white supremacist connected spokesdouche Tony Perkins:
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that Americans are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Our nation’s foundational document undeniably originates from a biblical worldview. But in our current social and political climate, those “unalienable Rights” are under attack more than ever before.
The religious liberty of Christians is increasingly in the crosshairs of the emboldened Left. Faith, family, and freedom have been undermined at every level of our government and culture. The battle to regain and retain our God-given rights is being waged in the public square, but Scripture tells us that our main opposition is spiritual.
Family Research Council (FRC) is dedicated to ensuring our nation becomes a place where public school children are not exposed to pro-LGBT curriculum that encourages kids to ignore biology, use gender inclusive language, and even attend events with same-sex dates.
That’s why, at this crucial point in our nation’s history, we invite you to STAND WITH US. Our goal is to raise $5.0 million before June 30, which funds our ongoing vision of a culture where all human life is valued, families flourish, and religious liberty thrives. Your prayers and financial partnership will help us achieve a common mission to advance biblical values in America.
Biblical values like bringing back slavery? Multiple wives? Stoning whores maybe?
I wanted to send you a personal note from FRC friend, former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. In it she describes FRC’s urgent need, and the extraordinary opportunity we have to match your tax-deductible contribution today. Please take a moment to read it and let FRC hear from you today!
– Tony Perkins, President, FRC
—————————————-
From the Desk of Michele Bachmann Dear XXXXX,
Back when I was serving in Congress, I knew I could always depend on Tony and FRC to help me advance our Christian and conservative principles in Washington, D.C.
And now, as a private citizen and fellow supporter, it’s been exciting to see FRC work closely with President Trump to enact pro-family tax reform, win the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, and secure executive orders to restore religious liberty and protect life.
That’s why I was extremely alarmed when Tony updated me on FRC’s current financial situation — and agreed to write to ask for your renewed support straight away.
DONATE NOW
You see, the left has been unrelenting in trying to stop the change that Americans approved in last year’s election. The Left has not stopped its attacks on the president or FRC and these attacks have left FRC $1.95 million behind budget. Thankfully, extremely generous FRC donors have stepped up with a $525,000 challenge grant to help meet the need.
The only catch is, FRC needs to raise an additional $525,000 no later than December 31st from friends like you to take advantage of this important opportunity.
Please pray over what amount God would have you send to help FRC meet this matching challenge and address their urgent year-end need.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (ret.)
P.S. From one faith partner of Family Research Council to another, I urge you to support FRC today.
A teacher in Canada shows a video of a free speech hero who stood up against the homosexual fascists. The teacher is about to lose her job. The state of Michigan just took a child from the home of a Christian family because they refused to allow their daughter to transition into a boy.
The state of Colorado wants to shut down the Christian baker because he won’t celebrate a gay wedding. Friends, we are living in fascistic times except this time the hobnail boots are worn by homosexuals and their allies in government and major corporations.
These fascists are out to get Christians who view men and women as God made them and who live their lives that way. They seek to stamp us out. Want to be shocked? Would you like to know the one place where you are free to stand up to the LGBT fascists? Want to know where Christians actually win victories against the LGBT fascists?
The UN that’s where. How do I know? Because we do it every single day and we have many governments behind us. And I will tell you the secret. It is because we are brave. We are fearless. We will not be bullied, we will not step back, and we will always call homosexual behavior sinful, offensive, and deeply harmful to the individual who practices it and to society at large.
You will not find “mainstream” religious conservatives speaking this way. They talk about religious freedom. Let me tell you another secret. If we are having to defend religious freedom, then we are fighting the enemy in our own house. We are not on offense. We are on defense. And we are going to lose. Well, we are on offense. Want to be on offense with us? Tired of being on defense? Then help us now! Join us! – Catholic Church affiliated Center for Family & Human Rights
The Catholic organization the Center for Family & Human Rights is a astro-turf group belonging to the World Congress of Families and is run by con-artist Austin Ruse. They are working with a coalition of LGBT hate groups including the National Organization for Marriage and others to export anti-LGBT hatred to foreign counties.

New stealth attack threatens natural marriage May 07, 2016 | | Share with Friends
Dear XXXX
With all the media “noise” about the upcoming Republican Convention in Cleveland, I’m concerned that a serious threat is slipping under the radar. And I need your help to stop it.
Republican establishment activists soft on family values are planning an all-out attempt to radicalize the 2016 Republican Party Platform.
How? By stripping away time-honored language defending natural marriage and calling instead for a “thoughtful conversation” about what marriage really is. What they are really after is destroying the marriage plank by making it affirm court-created same-sex marriage.
Knowing how significant this threat really is, I offered to be a delegate from my home state of Louisiana, and was then elected by the Louisiana delegates to serve on the Platform Committee — now I need to know that you will stand with me.
Values voters across America have made it clear how they feel. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It doesn’t matter what five members of the Supreme Court say — marriage is what God says it is.
Big money is lining up against natural marriage. And of course the GOP’s strong pro-life plank will be the next target.
For decades, the Republican Party platform has firmly stood for the sanctity of life and the vital importance of natural marriage and the family.
But now, hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer has donated millions of dollars to undermine this and strip away any platform language that might be considered “discriminatory” to those who engage in homosexual behavior.
Calling it “Platform Reform,” the American Unity Fund — supported by Singer — is promoting new “inclusive” language that eliminates the biblical definition of marriage from the Party platform.
Here’s why we can’t let this happen:
As the platform goes, so goes the Party!
If sexual revolutionaries like Paul Singer succeed in sabotaging the platform, the Left and moderates will say that the issue is settled once and for all — that marriage is up to the individual to define. Then those of us who uphold God’s view of marriage as one man, one woman will be considered irrelevant and discriminatory.
With their Party platform hijacked, it will be that much more difficult for Republican Conservatives to be a voice standing up for God’s design for marriage and family.
That’s why I’m asking for your support today.
A loss of that magnitude would have a profound impact on the 2016 Presidential Campaign and our ability to restore our nation back to moral sanity.
With your help, I’ll fight to keep natural marriage and the sanctity of life in the Republican Party platform for the 2016 elections.
In 2012, my role as a delegate at the Republican National Convention gave me the opportunity to play a key role in amending the marriage plank, which led to the Platform Committee approving a much stronger version than 2008’s.
We also tightened language on obscenity and pornography, protected conscience rights, explained how abortion hurts women, and supported the Second Amendment in D.C.
This year, a colleague of mine from Louisiana and I were the first delegates from the nation selected for the 2016 Platform Committee.
With you standing with me, I’ll once again do everything I can to hold the line for natural marriage, the sanctity of life, and religious liberty in the 2016 Republican Party Platform. I’ll also work to ensure the entire platform reflects the conservative values we share.
While I’ll be representing Louisiana as a private citizen, our FRC Action team will be at the convention intensifying our efforts to shape the course of our nation in 2016.
We’ll ramp up initiatives to register values voters and support selected candidates at all levels who will defend families.
Your contribution now will make a strategic difference.
Our efforts will determine the kind of America we live in as Christians and the legacy we pass on to our children.
I strongly urge you to give as generously as possible today.
Thank you, and I pray for God’s blessings upon you and your family.
Sincerely,
Tony Perkins President
P.S. Certain Republican activists will tell you that “times have changed” and “public opinion has moved on” when it comes to natural marriage. It’s simply not true. The majority of Americans believe in God’s definition of marriage. Stand with me to defend natural marriage and keep it in the Republican Party’s 2016 Platform. Thanks again for your help with this critical effort.
UPDATE: Sunday 9/20/2015 – 8:00am. – It’s baaaack. But this time time with a re-write ending:
My name is Chris Routson we are from Middletown, the story above is true and was written with the help of a Friend. I don’t want to confuse anybody with the 3rd person reading of this account. It reads better that way was the only reason. Also I am in control of this page. The funds of this page represent the in-between jobs and bills gap that is needs to have ends meet for example, the house payment, gas and electric, insurance, and health needs such as prescriptions.
In other words. RIGHT WING WELFARE
UPDATE: Saturday 9/19/2015 – 1:10pm. – After reaching out to GoFundMe with the below information Routson’s Right Wing Welfare Campaign has been removed.
BOOYAH!
Right Wing Welfare Scam on GoFundMe: I Got Fired For Harassment and Anti-Gay Proselytizing At Work So Give Me $$$’s!
Another day, another so-called “Christian” scam.
Chris Routson of Middleton, OH admits was fired after repeated anti-gay proselytizing to lesbian and gay coworkers. After repeated warning from his boss Chris decided to continue preaching the anti-gay word because his warped version of “Bigot Jesus” as told to him by Ray Comfort, a New Zealand-born Christian “minister” and “evangelist” who has no formal training nor theological degree tole him “BJ” is the REAL boss of the steel plant and so he got fired. And because now that he was fired for his “faith” Routson wants you yto send him money.
Chris Routson was fired from his job as a steel worker after sharing his faith. He and his wife, Bekah, along with their two children are now without income.
Chris shared Ray Comforts new movie “Audacity” during a Facebook chat with a lesbian co-worker. He did this from his own home and while off the clock. He was called into the office the following day and was given a warning to stop communicating with that individual.
A few days later he was lovingly sharing his personal testimony, along with the gospel with another lesbian co-worker. She complained to management and Chris was sent home.
A few days later Chris was called into his manager’s office where he was told he was being fired. They denied his unemployment and offered no severance pay. The company also immediately cut off health insurance and payflex card.
Chris’ desire was to lovingly and gracefully share his faith. He didn’t single out homosexuality but said that all people need to repent and put their trust in Jesus. He never intended to make anybody feel uncomfortable and had no idea that he was putting his job (of 14 years) at risk.
According to Routson’s Facebook page he “LEFT” that job way back BEFORE March of 2015. So its very interesting that the beg is coming up now.
WE MUST STOP these hateful people from profiting on their anti-gay bigotry.
**NOTE: After seeing on his Facebook page that Routson’s departure date from his job was in March we contacted him to tell him him to tell him we were are of the fact. He has since deleted that post.
But we have a screenshot! (Note his post leaving his job is posted BEFORE the March 1 profile pic update. BUSTED!)
$500,000 Matching Grant doubles your gift to help us stand up for you when anti-faith forces in Washington attack
Dear XXXX,
I could sum up the first nine months of 2015 in one short sentence:
You have become a target of the most powerful institutions in America.
Americans like you were once rightly seen as the moral glue helping to hold our nation together.
Not anymore. Today the Obama administration, radical organizations like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, and many major corporations see you and your family as the problem with America.
Your biblical morality is labeled as “hate” on par with racism. Yourfreedom is labeled as “discrimination” worthy of boycotts and threats.Your faith in God is called backward, harmful, and in some casesunlawful.
With such wealthy, powerful forces attacking your deepest values and your personal freedom, WHO STANDS FOR YOU?
The answer is Family Research Council . . . which is why I’m asking that you make a donation now to help FRC reach our $2.5 million goal by the end of our fiscal year on September 30, so we can keep standing strong at this pivotal point in our nation’s history. A $500,000 Matching Grant will make every dollar go twice as far. It’s critical we achieve our September 30 goal to strengthen our advocacy for you where it counts the most.
FRC has a respected collection of seasoned experts influencing the halls of power in Washington, D.C. . . . arguing your case in the national media . . . activating the grassroots in states across the country . . . and informing and mobilizing over 10,000 pastors and churches.
I am incredibly humbled by the strategic influence God has entrusted to FRC.
I don’t take our influence for granted. Our board, staff and I are constantly evaluating how to make the most of every opportunity and then praying for God to do “exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
That is why I’m asking you to give in response to our $500,000 Matching Grant and our $2.5 million goal.
I also ask myself, “What if FRC wasn’t here at this moment of American history?”
Who would be representing your values and religious freedom daily in meetings on Capitol Hill? Or statehouses? Or on FOX, CBS, in major newspapers, or in the media?
Who would be building a massive network of pastors and churches—educating them on how to push back in a biblical manner against the most dangerous governmental campaign of hostility against Christianity in our nation’s history?
Who would be handing members of Congress and news reporters the difference-making research showing the value of Christianity to our society . . . debunking the propaganda of the radical Left think tanks, the liberal talking heads and the relentless “Progressive” activist groups?
Right now we are in a 24-hour-a-day struggle for the future of religious freedom and influence in America. Every day the pressure is on.
I thank God He has provided supporters like you at this moment.
And I pray you will respond generously to our $500,000 Matching Grant opportunity and our $2.5 million need with a timely gift now. We will put it to use immediately defending your faith, family and freedom.
Please help—and please know that with the help of supporters like you, FRC will continue to stand for you in the most strategic places of power in America.
Standing (Ephesians 6:13), Tony Perkins President
P.S. What if FRC wasn’t here at this “gut-check” moment of history? Who would stand for you in Congress, national media and state capitals? Who would provide the research and make the arguments to push back against the deception and bully tactics of the radical Left? Please give now to help us achieve our $2.5 million fiscal year-end goal by September 30. Every gift will be doubled by our matching grant. Thank you!
Help stop discrimination against our Christian values August 07, 2015
Dear XXXXXX,
“Finished.” “Settled.” “It’s over.” These are the pronouncements I’m hearing since five of the nine justices on the Supreme Court caved in to the radical homosexual-rights propaganda machine in its ruling on same-sex marriage.
In fact, we’re hearing “The End” from both sides. The liberals are declaring that the debate is behind us — some media outlets have even declared that they won’t allow the natural view of marriage to even be represented anymore, as if the high court had suddenly banned freedom of speech.
But some Christians and conservatives are calling it “The End” too. They’re acting as if the Left has just won an irreversible victory, and there’s no point in carrying on in the battle for faith and freedom. They’re wrong.
Yes, the justices’ decision was terrible. They overturned the votes of over 50 million Americans. They abandoned thousands of years of human history, human nature, and the explicit teachings of Scripture. They fabricated out of thin air a sweeping “right” to court-created same-sex marriage that no Founding Father ever intended, or could have imagined.
Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? No. Finished? Not by a long shot. Now is the time to fight with greater fervor than ever. I call upon every member of FRC Action to step up to this challenge — a challenge to our faith, our freedom, our families, our future.
History proves that an early loss is not necessarily the end of the conflict. If it were, the Revolutionary War would have preserved British rule, the Civil War would have produced two separate countries, and the myriad victories of the pro-life movement would never have happened.
Review — and be encouraged by — three key facts:
Fact 1: Five justices may indeed have trampled the will of more than 50 million people, but they do not have the moral authority to redefine marriage.
Desperate to justify their overreach, the majority insists that there are “changed understandings of marriage,” “where new dimensions of freedom become apparent.” This is preposterous.
What God crafted in nature and imprinted on the human heart, no judge can change.
Fact 2: Americans refused to accept the legitimacy of the Court’s decision on abortion 42 years ago in Roe v. Wade.
Fact 3: Our numbers are not few. In statement after statement, interview after interview, leaders from across this country are making it clear: this is not over. From governor’s mansions to statehouse floors, the message is one of determination and tenacity.
This recent ruling does not mean that the issue is settled. It does mean that America will not achieve broad social consensus on marriage anytime soon. Actually, conflict is now guaranteed. Here’s why:
1) Some on the Left will try to use this ruling to rob Americans of their rights in the marketplace. The Court’s decision will become a bludgeon regarding business practices, as radicals try to force conservative business owners to set aside their religious values and engage in activities which violate their faith.
2) Some on the Left will also use this ruling as a crowbar to pry open America’s education system and force the radical homosexual perspective into our schoolchildren’s curricula.
3) The ripple effect of this ruling will be felt in every realm of life, all the way into our churches, even into the private recesses of individual families. Hillary Clinton said as much, in her post-ruling statement: “While we celebrate today, our work won’t be finished until every American can not only marry, but live, work, pray, learn and raise a family free from discrimination and prejudice.”
Not long ago, liberals were insisting that churches would never be forced to violate their faith in the event of a pro-same-sex marriage ruling. Now, in the blink of an eye, the march toward oppression is on!
All of which means, we must stand resolute, determined that we will not give in or give up.
If the President, his party, and this Court think they have resolved this controversial issue, they’re mistaken. By disenfranchising 50 million Americans in a decision divorced of law and logic, they have only poured fuel on the fire. Many thought, 40 years ago, that the battle for life was lost — but over time, people’s hearts and minds were moved to a new understanding of the sanctity of the unborn child. Our strategic efforts, our diligence, contributed hugely to this movement.
We can do it again. As more Americans witness and experience the erosion of religious liberty, of parental rights, of children’s innocence, and of conscience rights, their opinions will shift.
Every generation of God’s people has faced times of testing. This is our time. We must stand uncompromisingly.
This is a moment of opportunity. A presidential election campaign is ramping up. Every Justice of the Supreme Court — and every federal judge in America — has been appointed by a president of the United States.
We must have a leader who is principled and courageous. One who will not only stop what’s happening and change course, but undo the damage. One who understands American exceptionalism … one who will restore the Constitution.
It is not too early to make your voice heard. The liberal media is trying to diminish us and our views. They are trying to tell us it is all over.
We have great candidates at every level of government. I’ve sat down and spoken with a number of them; a number of these leaders feel led by God to run this race. But they cannot be successful if we don’t offer our strong and vocal support.
With your support today, we will help these candidates be as strong as they can be on the issues that matter most. We’ll equip them with information and insights, research results and talking points. We’ll conduct media interviews with candidates to help shape the debate. Our Values Voter Summit will galvanize their positions and help them present the truth with confidence.
I challenge you to step up with determination and resolve. Please give as generously as possible to FRC Action today in the spirit of Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
Thank you. God bless you.
Standing (Eph. 6:13),
Tony Perkins
President
P.S. When our friend Ken Blackwell appeared on the liberal George Stephanopoulos program on ABC to talk about the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling, left-wing groups mobilized thousands of people to bombard the network with demands that ABC ban Ken from future programs. A deliberate attempt to silence your views! Give generously, and FRC Action will see to it that your views are never silenced. Together, we can rescue America.

Tis the season for all “loving christian” anti-gay hate groups to send out their year end money begs for right-wing welfare. Here we have NOM’s Brian Brown changing his tune about the Senate filibuster rules (he was against the change) in his (allegedly) final money beg of the year promising to buy GOP Senators and smash the LGBT movement.
“Dear XXXXX,
We’re striving for 51. What would it mean if we had 51 US senators who supported marriage as the union of one man and one woman to go along with the majority of US House members we already have? It means we would be able to move forward legislation such as the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, which was introduced in the House by Rep. Raul Labrador and is expected to be introduced in the Senate shortly. This legislation would protect people and groups who stand for marriage in the public square against government retaliation. It means we’d be able to stop the Obama Administration from the regulatory power grab they are deploying to ignore federal law and impose same-sex ‘marriage’ wherever they can — in the military, among immigrants, etc.
“And it means that we’d have a fighting chance at advancing Rep. Tim Huelscamp’s proposed Federal Marriage Amendment, which would preserve marriage across the country as the union of one man and one woman and strip courts of their authority to redefine marriage. Imagine how good it would feel after being on defense for so long to be able to pass federal laws protecting marriage, to hold the IRS and the Obama Administration to account and to advance a federal marriage amendment that would make the federal courts powerless to redefine marriage ever again? This is all within our grasp if we can hold the House and gain control of the US Senate. But that will happen only if you help us by making a year-end contribution right now to our Marriage Victory Fund.”
As usual Brian Brown is talking out of his ample ass. A ban would then need to be approved by 3/4ths of the states AFTER Congressional approval like that will ever happen.
Nice try fat boy. Just tell your lemming you need money to keep your $500k salary and your lifetime pass to Golden Corral. It’s more believable.
By press release yesterday Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council issued once again yet another money beg for donations by listing several homo horrors that President Obama will unleash over the next four years unless his bigoted rube followers empty their Christmas Club accounts and send him all their money to him.
This President pushed for repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” to let openly practicing homosexuals serve in our military. We should not be surprised by and possibly even expect the same mentality to push religious freedom out of the workplace through the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). If the President can get it enacted, it would force people to check their moral convictions at the door of their workplace–even if they own the business!
This President has abandoned the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)–and his constitutional oath to enforce the law of the land–coming out strongly in support of same-sex “marriage.” We could see the Supreme Court strike down DOMA, with the President then strong-arming the states to recognize same-sex “marriage” by choking off federal funding unless they comply.
This President will continue to promote the radical homosexual agenda–and more forcefully. He will look for ways to fund it using taxpayer dollars. We saw him support “It Gets Better,” a campaign celebrating teen homosexuality. In the same way that his Justice Department forced a Minnesota school district to abandon their neutral homosexuality policy in favor of a pro-homosexuality policy, the President could use the Department of Education’s “anti-bullying” policies to force local schools to promote homosexuality.
THE HORRORS!
Gay men and women laying down their lives to protect America!
Expecting not to be discriminated against in the workplace and housing market in a country where “All men are created equal” and everyone else is protected against discrimination even radical religious like extremist like Tony Perkins under the law.
The NERVEof gays and lesbians to stand up fight against innocent children being bullied and put upon because of hate and pushed to suicide.
And the TRUE Homosexual Agenda!
PREPARE TO BE SHOCKED!
PREPARE TO BE HORRIFIED!
PREPARE TO BE SICKENED!

Taliban Tony and the FRC – Whine, fearmonger, beg and repeat.
You see, the homosexual lobby’s attack on Chick-fil-A isn’t just a bullying of one of America’s best businesses. It’s a full-frontal assault on all of uswho believe in the unchangeable definition of marriage as one man and one woman.
By voting with your presence and wallets to support Chick-fil-A’s brave leadership, you effectively triumphed over the gay “marriage” thugs and bullies to produce the largest sales volume in the pro-marriage company’s history! This is a big win. Now with victory in sight, we must capitalize on our decisive win to sustain the momentum for marriage in America.
NOM is leading the charge to support Chick-fil-A’s pro-marriage stance, but I need your immediate contribution of $50, $100, or as much as you can give right now, to sustain the fight against the gay “marriage” thugs and bullies everywhere.
Wealthy homosexual activists, such as the so-called Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), know they cannot persuade the American people simply to discard traditional marriage at the ballot box as an outdated institution. In fact, every time the issue is put to a democratic vote, Americans overwhelmingly reject the redefinition of marriage in states across the nation, from California to Maine. That’s why the homosexual lobby is using a different strategy this time by working to bully and intimidate the media and enough politicians and activist judges to impose same-sex “marriage” on everyone.
But with NOM and Chick-fil-A’s brave leadership, the silent majority is rising up and rejecting the gay “marriage” lobby’s tactics. While others have backed down to the homosexual thugs and bullies, NOM hasn’t been afraid to fight back. But we can’t sustain this battle unless supporters like you help us with your urgently needed contributions right now.
That’s why I’m asking you to make a critical, immediate contribution of $50, $100, or as much as you can give right now to sustain our momentum for marriage in the wake of the Chick-fil-A victory.
Remember: the only way to stop a bully is to fight back and fight harder. And if you make an immediate contribution, NOM will continue to expose and defeat the gay activist bullies who want to silence Christians and impose homosexual “marriage” on all of us.
Faithfully, Brian Brown President, National Organization for Marriage (NOM)
P.S. The homosexual lobby’s assault on Chick-fil-A is a full-frontal assault on all of us who believe in the historic definition of marriage as one man and one woman. And the only way to stop a bully is to fight back and fight harder. But we need your immediate contribution to do this. This is your chance to make your voice heard and thank Chick-fil-A for their brave leadership in supporting marriage
