Homosexual law professors and other radical elites want
to hold
Dear Friend of Freedom,
The tactics of the
homosexual activists and their allies never fail to shock me . . . even as long
as I’ve been in this business and as many times as we’ve done battle
head-to-head.
Now a group of
radical elitist law professors—including several who are homosexuals—along with
homosexual law school organizations and a few students have banded together to keep military recruiters off virtually every
law school campus in America because of its “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
BUT . . . they
want to keep forcing the military to give
them money!
Yes, that’s
right, they want to force the military off their campuses while also forcing
the military to keep giving them money.
Let me explain . . . and let me tell you why I need to hear from you
immediately and why we urgently need your
support in this incredible new battle!
A few years back, Congress got wise to the radical elites who run so many of America’s colleges and universities . . . and law schools. So they passed a law that said that any college or university that refuses to allow military recruiters to come on campus on equal terms with all other employers would lose all federal grants and research money.
But they were
even smarter. They figured out that some
smaller units within a college might try to act on their own. So Congress declared that if, for example, a
law school decided to refuse the military access to its campus, the entire
university of which it was a part would lose its money.
This seems completely just. Why should the military continue to give
grants to law
schools—or any college or
university—that seek to hinder Congress
in its constitutionally mandated job of raising and training our military?
Here’s how
several Congressmen put it when the law was being passed:
¨
Tell recipients of Federal money at colleges and
universities that if you do not like the Armed Forces, if you do not like its
policies, that is fine. That is your
First Amendment right. But do not expect
Federal dollars to support your interference with our military recruiters.
¨
Starry-eyed idealism comes with a price. If they are too good—or too righteous—to
treat our Nation’s military with the respect it deserves . . . then they may
also be too good to receive the generous level of taxpayer dollars presently
enjoyed by many institutions of higher education in America.
So what’s the problem?
The homosexual law professors and the other radical elites in the law
schools are outraged that the military can still have a “Don’t ask; don’t tell”
policy on homosexuality. They think that the military should allow
open homosexuality in our Armed Forces.
So they decided
that they would organize to keep military recruiters off law school
campuses. But, that means losing all
that Federal money.
What’s a poor
homosexual activist or radical elitist to do?
Why sue, of course!
They are trying
to get the law declared unconstitutional in a federal court. That way they can continue to push their holier-than-thou pro-homosexual agenda down the
throats of the military . . . and of all their students . . . AND keep
getting all that federal money!
I personally
know many active military personnel and Reservists who have been deployed in
Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere around the world since 9/11 . . and you probably do, too. We are at war on terror! Our
military recruiters do not need to be hampered by elitist law school professors
with a radical agenda.
I need to know
that I can count on your help to stand up to this outrage.
Please let me
hear from you today!
For
freedom,
Steven
W. Fitschen
President
P.S. Please respond with your very best gift
without delay. Our brief is due at
the Third Circuit Court of Appeals on February 13—just days from now!
P.P.S. As I told you in my last letter, we desperately need to hire two more law clerks. We are actively interviewing for the first of those positions now. We are trusting that when we have selected the very best candidate, we will actually have the funds to go ahead with the hire. Please pray about your part in helping to fund this organization. Without your contributions—and your prayers—we couldn’t fight the good fight. Thanks again. |
