AFM CELEBRATES REINTRODUCTION OF MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT IN CONGRESS

House and Senate Reintroduce Constitutional Amendment Drafted By the Alliance for Marriage


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    WASHINGTON, DC - The Alliance for Marriage today celebrated the reintroduction of the federal Marriage Protection Amendment in both the Senate and House.  AFM created the Marriage Protection Amendment, which has won bi-partisan sponsorship in three successive sessions of Congress.

 "The national assault on marriage -- which has only just begun to unfold from California to New York -- is the very reason the Alliance for Marriage drafted the federal Marriage Protection Amendment years ago," said Matt Daniels, president of the Alliance for Marriage.  "Given the rising tide of marriage lawsuits in courts across the country, AFM's Marriage Protection Amendment is clearly the only hope for the American people to determine the future of marriage under our laws."

"The fallout from California is already spilling over state lines, with New York being just  the first state of many to fall," said Niger Innis, AFM Advisory Board Member and National Spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the third oldest and one of the "Big Four" civil rights groups in the United States.  "With all of society's ills and potential pitfalls, the foundation of marriage is the bedrock of security and guarantor of the full recognition of our human rights and civil rights."

"Americans want our laws to send a positive message to children about marriage, family and their future," said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, Jr., an AFM Advisory Board Member and President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC).  "As the largest 'minority' community in California, we have voted with our feet in rejecting the false claims that destruction of marriage represents the advancement of civil rights." 
 
The Alliance for Marriage is a non-partisan, multicultural coalition whose Board of Advisors includes Rev. Walter Fauntroy --  the former DC Delegate who organized the March on Washington for Martin Luther King Jr. --  as well as other civil rights and religious leaders, and national legal experts.

I replyed as such.

Just shut up. Do not describe your anti-gay attempts as "family values" or "marriage protection". If two human
beings love eachother, regardless of gender, then they should be able to marry.

PS: No, I am not going to hell for this. I belive Hell and Heaven to be just tools of the Church to keep people in line.

There was another one I replyed to, but it wasn't as interesting.

EDIT:
------
Notice this in the footer...

The Alliance for Marriage is a non-partisan

Ok, so not affialed with a party, right?

But in the other email...

Burch noted that, in the past, the Democratic leaders fought successfully against the Marriage Protection Amendment, and that Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has pledged to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.

Non-partisan, my foot.

Also, I found another, called "Marriage and democracy under assault!"
I'll post it later.

I had a system reset, and lost the key to Milkshape3D. I had printed the key out, but I lost it. Is there any way to resend the key?

Off Topic / Installers and fullscreen 3-d issues

« on: June 24, 2008, 05:40:01 PM »

I recently got the computer back from a stint at the shop. It was getting slow, so we sent it in to be fixed. It isn't slow anymore, but I have two problems;

1. Fullscreen 3D apps open for a second, then close.
2. A wide range of different installers come up as 'corrupted'.

Any idea what may be causing the problem?
