Fixing AFA's agenda


I received this note from the AFA and took the liberty of doing a small amount of, ahem, [editing] to "correct" its errors:

CREST, TIDE MAKER GIVES MONEY, CLOUT TO REPEAL LAW FORBIDDING SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR HOMOSEXUALS
P&G policy leads to support for homosexual marriage
Dear Mike,
Procter & Gamble, makers of Crest toothpaste and Tide detergent, has publicly thrown their support and money behind the homosexual political agenda.

P&G recently wrote to their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the repeal of a city law that forbids giving special rights to homosexuals. In 1993, the citizens in Cincinnati adopted the law by a vote of 62% to 38%. P&G is now working to get that law repealed and has given $10,000 toward that goal.

To our knowledge, Procter & Gamble is the first company to support the political agenda of the homosexual movement. While not explicitly saying so in their public announcement supporting the repeal, P&G clearly showed their support for homosexual marriage. P&G said they "will not tolerate discrimination [against homosexuals] in any form, against anyone, for any reason." To keep homosexuals from being legally married is discrimination, which P&G says they will not tolerate. Taking them at their word, P&G supports homosexual marriage.

Take Action

Call Chrm. A.G. Lafley at 513-983-1100 and politely let him know that you are [appreciative of his political stand] and will ask others to do the same.

Please forward this email to your friends and family.

Sincerely, Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman, American Family Association

Okay, first and most important, Mr. Wildmon needs to improve his grammar: "...has publicly thrown their support..."? I mean, the local elemantary school's Spec. Ed. class can do better than that, NCLB and all. Seriously, notice how AFA spins P&G's stated support of not tolerating "discrimination in any form, against anyone, for any reason" into support of homosexual marriage; that's soooo Republican. Anyway, please do notify Chairman Lafley and praise him for his maverick stand. HE is a real patriot.
