Here is Janets Video at ABRHS

Laramie posted 110407Jaldrich,

this story may be a series of followup links as well as the main coverage of the Laramie Project implementation hate crimes task force as it seeks to  set the "stage" in hardcore Acton.. to persecute the Church..in this case the Phelps troop.who might I add did a pretty good job as well of telling the Church to wake up..as I caught them leaving Acton Episcopal Church with Police escort and all but could not find them as they vanished into thin air it seemed along with the pd..

three links will be put up shortly of the Forum put on to alert the Community to the plays' intent with three speakers addressing the Homosexual theme in the play. 

A tape of the second night of the play at ABRHS protest put on by the Phelps group  and the HS kids across the way yelling was filmed by Catch of the Day, Video News, Freelance Reporting at the request of an interested party.

Catch of the Day, Video News, wants to formally compliment the Acton Pd for the respectful handling of the protest.  Having filmed numerous protests this was the best ever.  They had Aframes up to corral both sides, and it seemed like 15 cops the second night.  they had a paddy wagon to haul away but it was not used and they didn't even need to threaten as the scene was a perfect example of our First Amendment Right to protest on both sides. If anyone has a different story please let me know.  I was impressed and it was a passionate rally, as passionate as it can get and they held their cool and never made a peep.  I can't thank them enough really.  The Police are there for our safety and they were doing the job they were hired for.  Salute..

LaBarbera Commends Gary Glenn’s Statement on Fred Phelps’ Twisted ‘God Hates Fags’ Message, Awful Military Funeral Protests

fred_phelps_idiotic_911_message.bmp Fred Phelps has expanded on his “God Hates Fags” message to now protest U.S. soldiers’ funerals, “thanking” God for terrorist killings of our troops as punishment for America’s embrace of homosexuality. Above, “IEDs” stands for “improvised explosive devices,” of the sort used to bomb American military vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans For Truth condemns Phelps’ unbiblical messages and his grotesque targeting of soldiers’ funerals for his clan’s protests. (In 2005, the Kansas ‘minister’ said then Illinois Family Institute Executive Director Peter LaBarbera was going to hell after LaBarbera condemned his ”God Hates Fags” protests.) Phelps’ military pickets like the above have led to enactment of a federal law and state laws restricting protests at military funerals; he is challenging the constitutionality of such laws. As Gary Glenn writes below, Phelps also has a history of denying the power of Jesus Christ to change the lives of people caught up in homosexual behavior (although he now seems to at least great that possibility on his website, http://www.godhatesfags.com/).  Americans For Truth commends Gary Glenn’s excellent statement on Phelps below.

______________________________

The following statement was issued by Gary Glenn, president of American Family Association of Michigan in May 2006, upon learning that Fred Phelps of “God Hates Fags” notoriety was planning to stage a protest at a military funeral in Michigan (emphasis added):

Fred Phelps and Homosexual Activists Both Wrong
By Gary Glenn

The American Family Association of Michigan believes that homosexual behavior is harmful and wrong.  Without apology, we oppose attempts by the Triangle Foundation [a Detroit-based homosexual organization] and other homosexual activist groups to force their political agenda onto our children, our public schools, and society at large.

We approach the public policy debate surrounding homosexual behavior with sincere Christian care and concern for individuals who we believe put themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually at risk by engaging in such behavior, and with a spirit for protecting children and others put at risk by those who promote and enable such behavior.

We personally know parents who in 2004 helped gather signatures to enact a Marriage Protection Amendment to our state constitution — reaffirming marriage as only between one man and one woman — not because they “hate” their children who are involved in homosexual relationships, but because they love them.

The sincere Christian compassion which motivates our stand is marked by warning against — and protecting those we love from — harmful self-destructive behavior, not by the false compassion of enabling or passing special laws to protect such behavior. 

That’s in sharp contrast to the self-described, expressly hate-motivated message of the Kansas “reverend” who plans to picket a local military funeral this weekend.

Fred Phelps insists that individuals who engage in homosexual behavior are beyond hope or redemption, a false doctrine that — while at odds with the true Christian gospel of repentance and forgiveness available to all — is much closer to that of homosexual activists who echo Phelps’ insistence that individuals involved in homosexual behavior have no hope of abandoning that lifestyle. 

We strongly disagree.  The false gospel preached by Fred Phelps and the Triangle Foundation is proven wrong by the life experience of individuals who through faith, with God’s help, have abandoned homosexual activity and now live their lives in normal loving relationships between a man and a woman, many married with children.  In four Michigan cities, counseling services are available staffed by individuals who themselves abandoned homosexual behavior and are compassionately committed to giving others hope and help in doing so.  (For example, see http://www.corduroystone.com/ in Lansing or http://www.recmin.org/ in Sterling Heights, [Michigan].)

Compared to sincerely compassionate voices who warn young people and others about the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual hazards of such activity, Phelps gives the repulsive appearance of gleefully celebrating the life-threatening disease, premature death and other severe health consequences medically associated with homosexual behavior.  

Recently, Phelps has expanded his expressly hate-driven activities to include despicable attacks on U.S. military personnel who gave their lives in service to this country, parading “God Hates America” signs and desecrating the American flag at their funerals without regard or compassion for their families or the certainty that many such families are people of faith who themselves sincerely believe homosexual behavior is wrong.

Phelps’ bizarre demand to erect celebratory public monuments to the murder of homosexual college student Mathew Shepard has also motivated officials in at least one city, rather than grant his demand, to ban all public displays and thus remove a Ten Commandments monument that had for half a century been displayed in a city park.

Phelps’ twisted message serves only to falsely caricature and fuel prejudice and bigotry toward people of faith who sincerely espouse traditional Judeo-Christian moral views on issues such as marriage and protecting the lives of prenatal children.  He has become a near-indispensable propaganda tool for homosexual activists intent on promoting homosexual behavior in our public schools and elsewhere and demonizing anyone who objects.

Despite the fact that they actually share a central tenet of Phelps’ false, misguided doctrine — that individuals who engage in homosexual activity are incapable of choosing otherwise — homosexual activists understandably leap at every opportunity to portray anyone who dares oppose their own political extremism as “hate-mongers” comparable in motivation to Phelps, something that’s as unfair and untrue as claiming that every single individual who engages in homosexual behavior is also a child molester.

The American Family Association of Michigan will continue its leadership role in standing against homosexual activists’ political agenda and their attacks on traditional family values and institutions such as marriage.  We also condemn Fred Phelps’ rejection of the Christian gospel of redemption and his expressly hate-motivated attacks not only on individuals ensnared in the homosexual lifestyle, but on American military personnel and their families who have nothing whatsoever to do with the issue.

We respectfully offer our condolences to the families of Sgt. Gabriel DeRoot and others killed in the War on Terror, and we salute these young men for their courageous sacrifice in the cause of keeping all of our families safe and free.

Further, we endorse Michigan’s new state law banning Phelps’ brutish disruption of military funerals, and we also urge our two U.S. senators — Sen. Carl Levin and Sen. Debbie Stabenow — to support efforts to constitutionally ban desecration of the American flag by Phelps and others.

Finally, as we have since he first appeared here four years ago, AFA-Michigan once again urges Phelps not to bring his false gospel back to southwest Michigan or anywhere else in our state.

OK THE NATIONAL PARKS ASSOCIATION AND THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION HAVE SOMEHOW DISMISSED THE GOD OF OUR FOREFATHERS IN THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT DISSING OF THE WORD LAOS DEO PRAISE BE TO GOD BY REMOVING A LINE MENTIONED
IN THE OLDER VERSION WHICH REFERENCES GOD.  I GOT THE FOLLOWING EMAIL FROM
AFA AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE STORIES
IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS SINCE THE ARCHIVIST REMOVED GOD FROM THE FLAG REQUESTS
DOCUMENTS IN OUR NATIONAL ARCHIVES.  SEE FOR YOURSELF:


TAKE ACTION

Dear janet,

The National Park Service, a branch of the federal government, has joined the Veterans Administration in establishing anti-Christian bigotry as public policy. The NPS has censored “God” from a key display of America's Christian heritage in Washington.

The reference is an engraving of "Laus Deo," which is Latin for "Praise be to God," on the east side of the 100-ounce aluminum cap atop of the Washington Monument.

Since the actual inscription on the cap is unviewable atop the 555-foot stone column, the NPS created a replica which is on display in the white-colored obelisk of marble, granite and sandstone.

Now “God” has been removed from the plaque containing information about the Washington Monument. In 2000 the plaque read:

APEX OF THE MONUMENT Reproduction The builders searched for an appropriate metal for the apex that would not tarnish and would act as a lightning rod. They chose one of the rarest metals of the time, aluminum. The casting was inscribed with the phrase, Laus Deo, (Praise be to God).

The NPS censored the last sentence from the latest plaque, which now reads:

CAP OF THE MONUMENT Reproduction The builders searched for appropriate metal for the cap that would not tarnish and would act as a lightning rod. They chose one of the rarest metals of the time – aluminum.

http://www.afa.net/images/plaque2000.jpg

In addition, the replica of the cap which is in the monument has been positioned so close to the wall that the wording “Laus Deo” cannot be read. Prior to the censorship by the NPS, the replica wording could be read.

It was the third time in just the past few weeks that an agency of the federal government has banned the use of “God.” First was the Architect of the Capitol banning religious references when issuing flag certificates. That ruling was later rescinded. Next came the Veterans Administration censoring religious references in the script used to describe each fold of the flag at 125 national cemeteries. That censoring came after only one person complained.

Because of the NPS censorship, children and other visitors to the monument now have no way to know that the words, 'Laus Deo,' ('Praise be to God'), are inscribed on the original cap atop the monument! This censoring of God will help establish anti-Christian bigotry into federal law.

OBAMA COME A TO BOSTON 
SO GOES THE NATION on Boston Common this week Gov Patrick endorses Obama..and I was there..

I am reporting what I saw..do you wanna hear???

First the media which is what I am..a person who disseminates information to the public..that's me..was allowed access to this penned event by a second circular pen around the common area of scanned visitors.  so out side the second pen was a third pen for those who were waiting in line to assemble or those who just wanted to be outside from the frustration of not getting in.  I got there about 530 and so had a few hours to wait.  I was really happy we had the weather on our side and the crowd thickened as the time rolled up to 7pm..when it was to start..


I was able to get in with the press and quickly understood the press was actually not oppressed at all.  Having gone to many ove these Federal events I was impressed they were so hospitable to the press.  I was seen and hailed as I walked the long path to the press area but was also impressed later when some high school kids from Newton were also allowed in and were doing their story on the assembly. 

So what is my point...here..I advocate for free press so that is the point..I am not going to elaborate on the talk ..but wanted to let you know my reaction to go was precipitated by the radio show early in the day that remarked Obama was the only candidate that would not put his hand over his heart for the Pledge.. The gorgeous lighting on the flag that same night and it almost blowing off the stage near the start made me wonder what was his talk going to be about..

Gospel singers from a school sang two songs of Cultural ethnicity of the struggle for freedom in this country..that is what I perceived.  And the use of God songs and the get the devil out was surprising given the liberal stand both Obama and Patrick have demonstrated. 

I left to the surmise of my feet which were going into spasms on the stand and decided my day was done.

As I left I was able to video Ron Paul people and at the T stop park st they even had brought a TV to give a talk.  I would expect they did not have permitting to use that in the Common and it did not do anyone justice as the event brought about 3000 to my judgement and they were perfectly happy sprawling the lawn and content to see the event..no dissing really occured except a twosome in the rear moaning some words with regard to Israel..I filmed it but it was weird to see them at this event.  But so much for free speech at least they did not try to penetrate the crowd and hold the sign up in front of Deval and Obama..and have to be escorted away..

case closed..hooray for independant media who without which, the public would have had to put up with testimony   that would have made the courroom a circus..like the constant abuse of protest etiquette has made this win a taxpayers burden.. hail to the free press and free exercise of free speech.  So are you going to get that camera and protect freedom?  Do you now understand why reporters are willing to have their heads blown off?  At last the sleeping giant arises..don't stop now..independant media keep it up......and join comflm registry and be a soldier for free speech..take up your camera count the cost and lets sweep the house clean for truth  ..together..jaldrich, catchofthedayvideonewsfreelancereporting

the following story story posted 10 19 07 by J Aldrich

It is very hard being right you  know..you shoud have been there today in court.  The argument to stand by the rule of law on assault and battery was too much for my heart to fathom.  Now I had cause to file an assault and  battery once and it was very explosive and the police somehow lost their copy but I had it and so their copy suspiciously but was not a problem except the fact they lost it.  Today I was not allowed to tape as the hearing started I had done my job of finding the mottion to tape to present to the Judge at the point of the closing arguments  and presenteed to the guard who said I would be able he just needed to check witht he Judge.  However the Detective who also had testified at hearing immediately got up and went th the DA who huddled and the guard came back saying I could not tape the hearing.  I pointed my camera at him and bingo have the tape.  So free speech was in the line of fire again as I mentioned below.  The Judge simply wants to get a trophy decision to batter Mr. Cirignano the innocent.  At the beginning of the hearing the Judge Despot opolus something states he is not going to allow Defendants attorney to use employment as a defense for Larry who was on assignment with Ray Flynn and Mass Family  da to be the advance man for the day.  This is ridiculous so they had to find the evidence of that employment assaignment which the Defense was quick to put first on  his points in the closing argument.  By the way at this point I do not have word as to the decision. The Jury is still deciding and maybe the news will tell us tonight. If it clears Larry you can be sure it won't make the blotter.  But my motion was in  the Judges hands and I was not allowed to tape.  I took tons of notes had already scanned the audience before and have the tape  of the denial which I will post on google soon and add the links here. So wait fotr that to happen.  I will be transcribing my notes tonight or on the weekend as I am exhausted from the draining tension. The two days I went no more than 20 people attended and no physical press showed up to fill the room with cameras ..When I called Fox News later to tell them the desk answered they had better things to do..ok when they loose their public access I will not help..you can believe.  They will in case you are unblieving on this.  Show and tell is coming.

Not going myself do not like the glitz and whatever ..life has changed since I went some 60 years ago..  I remember taking my kids once or twice and thinking what a ripoff..so I would not be good at watching this saga on any level.  But the animals should not be mistreated and people should put clothes on if you ask me.. Don't you just want to believe Ringling???they can do not harm right????  There is a lot of danger in a circus that people just could care less about..what if those animals got psd and charged everyone.. Isn't that a concern for the public safety of an animal that is mistreated to just stage his own justice.. I would pray the whole time in the circus so much can go wrong..Sorry Senator...my life is full of civil rights infractions every day I mention God.. to someone.
God have your way in the Elephants among us story. Who can defend them with justice ony You.

Story submitted by MIKE FRANCO

The (Springfield) Republican - Homosexual Activist - Newspaper is
"ramping
up" Puppolo Points.  See three opposition letters below:

Also, see here at this link a nice depiction of the Puppolo billboard:
http://www.coalitionformarriage.org/articles/billboard-attacks-gay-marriage-
vote/puppolo-billboard.aspx

Letters:  The Republican
Tuesday, October 09, 2007

1.  Attack billboard should be removed right away

The new billboard on Interstate 91 regarding gay marriage is an
obscenity
which should be torn down immediately. ("Billboard attacks gay marriage
vote," The Republican, Oct. 6). What kind of Christian values equates a
political disagreement with betrayal of God and country?

I had not interest, either way, in gay marriage before the court
decision,
but it has proved a cesspool for the growth of toxic life-forms.

A special word to the National Organization for Marriage and other
interlopers: Keep your money and your slime in your own red(neck)
states.
The people of Massachusetts HAVE spoken through our elected
representatives.
We have said NO to the proposed amendment, and not one seat was lost to
the
gay marriage issue between the two legislative votes.

Had it gone to referendum, the outcome might have gone either way, but
would
have guaranteed an entire election season as nasty as this billboard.

WILLIAM C. DALE
East Longmeadow

2.  Puppolo deserves praise for his gay marriage vote

Kudos to state Rep. Angelo J. Puppolo Jr., D-Springfield, for defending
his
gay marriage vote, and standing strong in defiance against another
small-minded group of bigots, the so-called National Organization for
Marriage, and the ridiculous billboard it financed along Interstate 91
in
downtown Springfield. I wonder how much this extremist group paid for
this
advertising space and, more important, I wonder how much good this
money
could have done if put to use elsewhere. How many worthwhile charities
could
have benefited from even a fraction of what it cost to buy that space?

These groups claim to work for the children, but they've clearly
demonstrated that they'd much rather spread hatred and bigotry. Puppolo
deserves our support and our thanks for voting with his brain and not
his
Bible.

As for this group, and its plans to launch a billboard campaign across
Massachusetts, I would ask each and every advertising agency
responsible for
erecting these billboards and our state and local representatives who
support equality for all to consider the fact that an out-of-state to
hate
group to come here and spread its disease across our great
commonwealth. Is
that what we wan there in Massachusetts?

MARK J. DEROIN
Springfield

3.  N.J. hate group should 'get over it, go home'

This letter is in response to the billboard placed in Springfield by
the New
Jersey group, National Organization for Marriage. I say, "get over it"
and
go home. Your hatred and venom will backfire. Springfield state Rep.
Angelo
J. Puppolo Jr.'s vote was a vote to protect the rights of Massachusetts
citizens. He was elected to protect ALL of the citizens in his district
and
he voted to prevent a small, vocal minority from spewing this type of
vile,
pseudo-religious garbage. Puppolo proudly protected the Massachusetts
constitution and civil rights. I, for one, will contribute and
volunteer for
Puppolo in the coming election cycle. He understands there is a reason
for
the separation of church and state.
