WASHINGTON MAY BE THE NEXT TO 'OK' GAY MARRIAGE
Both sides are waiting for a court decision to be announced.

The Washington State Supreme Court could announce as early
as Thursday whether it will redefine marriage to include
same-sex couples.

Equal Rights Washington, the state's largest gay-rights
group, is preparing a checklist so couples are set to get
married the minute the three-day waiting period expires.

Lynn Wardle, a law professor at Brigham Young University,
called the rush to have same-sex couples marry a political
ploy to thwart efforts to pass an amendment to define
marriage as one man and one woman.

"It certainly does make it a little more difficult to
persuade people because the argument will be asserted,
'Well, you're taking away rights that the court gave us,'"
he said.

Joe Fuiten, senior pastor of the Cedar Park Assembly of
God Church in Bothell, Wash., said he expects the ploy to
backfire.

"They're wanting to make a show of it," he said.
"Personally I think it's going to hurt them a little bit,
because I hope to gear up to amend the constitution in
this state to prevent that."

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin announced
Tuesday that signed petitions requesting a proposed
constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage
-- and rescind court-imposed same-sex marriage -- met
requirements and were officially certified, Boston.com
reported.

Activists had gathered three times the number of
signatures required to make sure that far more than enough

Now the new amendment must receive 50 votes in two

JUDGE SAYS INTELLIGENT DESIGN HAS NO PLACE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Ruling says teachers should not disparage evolution.
Focus on the Family
Family News in Focus
December 20, 2005
by Wendy Cloyd, assistant editor

http://www.family.org/cforum/news/a0038988.cfm

U.S. District Court Judge John Jones ruled today that
intelligent design has no place in public school science
classes, calling it religion in disguise.

The landmark case, Kitzmiller v. Dover School District,
was a test of whether the theory of intelligent design
(ID) -- the idea that some aspects of biology are too
complicated to attribute to random chance -- could even be
mentioned as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

Jones concluded that letting public school students know
about ID violated the Establishment Clause of the First
Amendment.

"We have concluded that ID cannot uncouple itself from its
creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," Jones wrote
in his decision. "To be sure, Darwin's theory of evolution
is imperfect. However, the fact that a scientific theory
cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not
be used as a pretext to thrust an un-testable alternative
hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom
or to misrepresent well-established scientific
propositions."

Tom Minnery, senior vice president of government and
public policy at Focus on the Family Action, reacted to
the ruling with dissatisfaction.

"Judge John Jones has become party to the charade
presented by the American Civil Liberties Union in the
Kitzmiller case by deciding that local school boards
cannot inform students that the Darwinian theory is just
that -- a theory," he said. "Most unfortunately, this case
underscores what was obvious from the beginning -- that
any theory challenging Darwinism is hysterically opposed
by the left as an unconstitutional establishment of
religion.

"Intelligent design is not a religious theory. The First
Amendment is the true loser today," he added.

Same Ten Commandments -- Different Outcome
SUMMARY: An appeals court rules an Ohio display is constitutional.
Focus on the Family
Family News in Focus
Commentary
December 20, 2005
by Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst

http://www.family.org/cforum/fnif/commentary/a0038989.cfm

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a courthouse
display today which is essentially identical to the one
struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in last summer's
McCreary County case. The difference turned on religious
motivation -- or in this case, the lack thereof.

The decision was notable for its rejection of the ACLU's
argument that the ACLU was offended:

"And the ACLU, an organization whose mission is 'to ensure
that . . . the government (is kept) out of the religion
business,' does not embody the reasonable person," the
opinion read.

Then the court went on to kick a hole in the old
"separation of church and state" mantra:

"The ACLU's argument contains three fundamental flaws.
First, the ACLU makes repeated reference to 'the
separation of church and state.' This extra-constitutional
construct has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not
demand a wall of separation between church and state."

6th Circuit Court of Appeals:  First Amendment does not demand wall  
between church and state

In victory for Ten Commandments posted in Kentucky,
court criticizes ACLU for misusing concept that is outside of the  
Constitution

http://www.therealitycheck.org/TRCMediawire/adf122105.htm

CINCINNATI - In a ruling handed down today affirming as constitutional  
a Ten Commandments display in Mercer County, Ken., the U.S. Court of  
Appeals for the 6th Circuit declared, "The First Amendment does not  
demand a wall of separation between church and state."  The court also  
criticized the ACLU's repeated reference to the construct, calling it  
"tiresome" and "extra-constitutional."

"For years, the Alliance Defense Fund has argued against claims by the  
ACLU and its allies that their interpretation of the Establishment  
Clause is a correct interpretation.  The good news for Americans is  
that today's ruling says the ACLU's interpretation is outside the  
Constitution.  This is a dramatic rollback of the far-left's misguided  
legal agenda," said ADF Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb.

In American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky v. Mercer County, the  
court wrote that "the ACLU makes repeated reference to 'the separation  
of church and state.'  This extra-constitutional construct has grown  
tiresome.  The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation  
between church and state."

The court went on to note that the ACLU's argument that the Ten  
Commandments are religious does not answer the question of whether the  
display actually endorses religion.  The court stated that the ACLU  
"erroneously-though perhaps intentionally" equates merely recognizing  
religion as government endorsement of religion.  "To endorse is  
necessarily to recognize, but the converse does not follow," the court  
wrote.

The full text of the court's opinion can be read at  
www.telladf.org/UserDocs/ACLUvMCopinion.pdf.  ADF attorneys had no role  
in the appeal, but attorney and ally Frank Manion, with the assistance  
of a friend-of-the-court brief funded by ADF, was successful in his  
efforts to have the lawsuit dismissed prior to the ACLU's appeal of the  
dismissal to the 6th Circuit.

The Last Temptation of Hollywood: Homos on the Range
by Doug Patton
The Reality Check
December 19, 2005

http://www.therealitycheck.org/GuestColumnist/dpatton121905.htm

Many thanks to film critic Michael Medved for his review of Hollywood’s  
latest piece of social propaganda, “Brokeback Mountain.” Medved has  
spared 98 percent of American males what he calls “the eww! factor” by  
warning us of its graphic scenes of homosexuality.

This “love story” is set in 1963 between two young, married  
sheepherders who seek regular fulfillment of their lust for each other  
by engaging in homosexual adultery while their unsuspecting wives sit  
home believing they are off together on “hunting trips.”

Medved compares the film, which is skillfully directed by Ang Lee  
(“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) to “Triumph of the Will,” Leni  
Riefenstahl’s 1934 documentary of Adolf Hitler: a brilliant, convincing  
bit of filmmaking, the sole purpose of which was to promote a political  
and/or social agenda.

San Jose's Recognition of Same-Sex "Marriages" Illegal, Says Court

ALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND NEWS RELEASE
December 19, 2005 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT ADF MEDIA RELATIONS:  (480) 444-0020

Judge calls policy approved by city council "contrary to California law"

http://www.therealitycheck.org/TRCMediawire/adf121905b.htm

SAN JOSE, Calif. - A Santa Clara County Superior Court judge today  
declared the city of San Jose's policy of recognizing the same-sex  
"marriages" of its employees illegal, ruling in favor of the  
Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Values Advocacy  
Council.

"By focusing on the legal aspects of marriage rather than the divisive  
political aspects of marriage, the judge reaffirmed that marriage is a  
matter of statewide concern that local officials must follow.  The  
message of the ruling is clear:  same-sex 'marriage' is simply not  
recognized or valid in California," said Alliance Defense Fund allied  
attorney Andrew Pugno, the primary litigator for the plaintiffs in the  
case.

"This victory is ongoing evidence that same-sex 'marriage' is not  
inevitable.  It loses whenever a state puts the issue before voters,  
and most courts reject it, too," Pugno added.  "Just as in San  
Francisco, city officials in San Jose defied the law.  San Jose's  
actions were in clear violation of Proposition 22, California's Defense  
of Marriage Act, which states that marriage in California is only legal  
between one man and one woman."

Proposition 22 was approved in March 2000 by an overwhelming number of  
California voters.  Despite that, the mayor and city council of San  
Jose last year decided to recognize all same-sex "marriages" of city  
employees certified by other jurisdictions.

Judge Mary Jo Levinger of the Superior Court of the State of  
California, County of Santa Clara, wrote in today's ruling, "This court  
hereby finds and declares the San Jose City Council's March 9, 2004  
approval of Mayor Gonzales and Councilmember Yeager's recommendation  
that the City of San Jose recognize all marriages of City employees  
certified by other jurisdictions is contrary to California law and is  
therefore preempted.  Furthermore, only marriages between a man and a  
woman may be recognized by the City of San Jose...."

The lawsuit Proposition 22 Legal Defense & Education Fund and Values  
Advocacy Council v. Ron Gonzales was filed on May 13, 2004  
(www.telladf.org/news/pressrelease.aspx?cid=2726), by Pugno and  
attorneys with ADF, including Robert Tyler, now with Advocates for  
Faith and Freedom.  A copy of the court's opinion issued today can be  
read at www.telladf.org/UserDocs/Prop22vSJorder.pdf.

"The mayor and city council of San Jose were irresponsibly wasting  
taxpayer dollars to implement and follow an illegal policy.  The court  
was right to put a stop to it," Pugno said.

Should Satellite Broadcasts be Subject to Indecency Laws?
Focus on the Family
December 20, 2005

[Received in email; no URL]

The news has been filled with stories about Howard Stern's
departure from regulated broadcast radio to Sirius
Satellite Radio, which is not under the same regulations
regarding indecency. Stern has said he intends to take
advantage of that.

Robert Peters, president of Morality in Media, said
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines are
being twisted to suit a newly developed medium of
dispersing smut on the air.

"In 1987, the FCC redefined the term 'broadcasting' to
exclude 'subscription' services," he said, "and the
argument is now made that satellite radio should not be
subject to the broadcasting indecency law because members
of the public must subscribe to the service and pay a
monthly fee."

Peters points out the definition of broadcasting included
the "intent for public distribution…even though a segment
of the public is unable to receive programs without
special equipment."

And satellite companies that openly brag about the
unedited Howard Stern, he said, are forgetting about kids.

"In FCC v. Pacifica, the Supreme Court upheld the
broadcast-indecency law, reasoning that broadcast
indecency confronts the citizen not only in public, but
also in the privacy of the home," Peters said.

Besides, he added, there's not much protection for people
who tune in during the middle of a program.

"The radio audience is constantly tuning in and out so
that prior warnings cannot completely protect listeners,"
he said.

The finding should apply to satellite radio, Peters said,
especially since every new car will soon be equipped with
the technology.

"There is an alternative to transforming the public
airwaves -- and satellite radio in particular -- into an
open sewer," he said.

Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media and sexuality for
Focus on the Family Action, said FCC commissioner Kevin
Martin needs to revisit and revise the 1987 ruling that
excludes subscription services.

"Satellite radio uses the public airwaves every bit as
much as does traditional broadcast transmissions," Weiss
said. "Congress intended that any entity using public
airwaves would need to serve the public interest. Howard
Stern serves no public interest whatsoever."

TAKE ACTION:  Contact FCC chairman Kevin Martin and
respectfully encourage him to make satellite programming
subject to indecency standards. You may contact him
through the CitizenLink Action Center:

December 19, 2005

[Received in email; no URL]

If you happen to have a couple of leftover Christmas cards
and want to put them to good use, here's an idea: Send one
to each of your senators letting them know that what you
want for Christmas is a fair up-or-down vote on Supreme
Court nominee Samuel Alito.

Amanda Banks, federal issues analyst for Focus on the
Family Action, said it's a little Christmas cheer that can
have a serious impact on future Supreme Court decisions
that are important to the family.

"I hope that thousands will mail these special Christmas
cards to their senators," she said. "They will send a
unique and powerful message -- one their senators are
unlikely to soon forget."

We encourage you to get them in the mail this week and
address them to the senators' district offices so the
cards will arrive before hearings begin Jan. 9.

Make sure to wish them a Merry Christmas while you're at
it.

Groups Sanctioned for Promoting Abortion
Focus on the Family
Newsbriefs
December 19, 2005

[Received in email; no URL]

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) told
two health agencies in Peru last week they have to return
grant money after it was discovered the groups used the
money to promote the controversial morning-after pill,
Human Events Online reported.

Peru's constitution protects life from conception to
natural death and the morning-after pill -- a drug which
can cause an early abortion -- has been declared illegal
in the country.

[Ed. Note: the morning-after pill is not an abortifacient, despite
successful fundamentalist propaganda to convince people
otherwise.]

Carlos Polo, Latin-American director of the Population
Research Institute, filed a formal complaint concerning
the use of USAID money by the Peruvian ombudsman's office
and feminist group Manuela Ramos.

"We are the first organization to tell USAID about these
activities with documented evidence and a strategy," he
said. "During the last 20 years, I saw many complaints
about USAID but no results."

Polo said he hopes this action by USAID will lead to more
respect for the laws and customs of the people of Peru.

"USAID funded the beginning of reproductive-health
programs," he said. "They said it was international
cooperation, but we now see clearly it was a business."

Bay State Adopts Abstinence-only Program
Focus on the Family
Newsbriefs
December 19, 2005

[Received in email; no URL]

Massachusetts state health officials will teach an
abstinence-only sex-education curriculum beginning next
year, despite objections from teachers who want to present
information about birth control, Metro West Daily News
reported.

The Department of Public Health is requesting funding from
the federal government to implement the program in schools
-- reaching kids age 12-to-14.

Annemarie Howes, a school nurse who teaches comprehensive
sex education, is not happy about the change; she believes
that even abstinence education should include information
on contraception.

"We believe in a mix -- kids getting the total
comprehensive information on contraception," she said.

Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family
Institute, said teaching kids about contraception has led
to an increase in teen pregnancies and has had destructive
consequences.

The only approach "that is 100 percent effective in
preventing unwanted pregnancies and STDs (sexually
transmitted diseases) is abstinence," he said. "Children
need to understand that."

Ford Motor Company Reinstates Ads in ‘Gay’ Magazines
Concerned Women for America
12/21/2005

http://www.cwfa.org/articledisplay.asp? 
id=9764&department=CWA&categoryid=misc

In a surprising about face, Ford Motor Company has broken a promise  
made to the American Family Association (AFA) and has resumed  
advertising in homosexual publications. Ford’s promise was an attempt  
to head off a boycott called after Ford began offering $1000 and $500  
donations to homosexual causes with the purchase of their Jaguar and  
Land Rover models. Bob Knight, Director of CWA’s Culture & Family  
Institute, has more on this development. Click here (  
http://www.cwfa.org/play.asp?id=cw20051220b ) to listen.

[Transcription: Robert Knight: "Ford was advertising in homosexual  
activist publications like _The Advocate_ and _Out_ magazine... they  
were also offering to donate to homosexual activist groups like the  
Human Rights Campaign and the gay and lesbian alliance against  
defamation if you'd buy a Jaguar or Land Rover... the American Ford  
Association went to Ford and said, we're going to boycott you if you  
don't stop supporting the homosexual activist movement. You've entered  
the Culture War on the wrong side... well, AFA went ahead and pulled  
the trigger..." [More recap of the history as they present it.]  
"Shortly after that, Ford announced it was no longer advertising in the  
homosexual magazines, it said it was yanking at least several brands,  
Jaguar, and Landrover, and so the major homosexual groups said, 'well,  
we're sitting down with Ford and telling them what's what, we're going  
to read the riot act to them.' They did so last week. And the very next  
day, Ford announced, well, we've decided to change our policy yet  
again, we're going to go ahead and advertise in all these magazines,  
and the heck with it. So I think what we're gonna see is AFA announce  
another boycott of Ford. And this time I wonder if it's going to last  
more than a week. I would think so."

"They've jumped aboard - you kind of wonder what was said in this  
meeting, you got people representing less than 2% of the population of  
the United States, and you've got American Family Association, which  
along with CWA and other Christian groups represents millions and  
millions of people, and yet Ford turned right around on a dime after  
one meeting with the gay activists, and so you know, it'd be nice to  
know what occurred in that room - why they have so much clout - I don't  
know how many homosexual consumers are out there buying Ford products,  
but Ford must think there're an awful lot of them."

"The shareholders have to be concerned - the big three are in trouble,  
they're weighted down with agreements that are lasting far longer than  
they had anticipated - the stocks have plunged, Ford's stock is down to  
an all-time low, so is GM - and they can ill afford to cultivate an  
image as the supporter of radical causes... this doesn't seem like  
smart business, in addition to being wrong!"

"This is a tough corner for [the AFA] - after all, a lot of Christians  
own Ford dealerships and work in Ford dealerships and work for Ford  
Motor Company for that matter, and so they have to be heartsick when  
their parent company goes this far out front supporting a radical  
political agenda with which they disagree, so I'm hoping people within  
the company, and especially the Ford dealers themselves speak up and  
say 'Stop this, before it takes us right over a cliff.'"]

Getting the U.S. Out of Abortion
By Joseph A. D'Agostino
Population Research Institute
December 16, 2005

http://www.pop.org/main.cfm? 
id=203&r1=2.00&r2=1.00&r3=0&r4=0&level=2&eid=881

In another gift just in time for Christmas, the U.S. Agency for  
International Development (USAID) has imposed sanctions on two groups  
in Peru that used American tax money to promote the legalization of the  
morning-after pill (MAP) in that country.  Each will have to return  
part of its grant as a punishment for violating USAID policy.  In  
response to information and a complaint from PRI's Latin American  
Director Carlos Polo, USAID decided to penalize the groups.  Peru's  
constitution protects life from conception on, and a Peruvian court has  
declared that MAP, as an abortion-inducing drug, cannot be sold there.

USAID grantees have been promoting abortion, including MAP, in many  
countries for a long time now.  The federal government's Mexico City  
policy prohibits the use of federal money for the promotion of any  
changes in abortion laws overseas, but this provision of law is often  
circumvented.  In any case, USAID follows FDA policy, which classifies  
MAP as "emergency contraception" rather than as an abortifacient, even  
though many of MAP's medical promoters acknowledge that it sometimes  
causes an abortion rather than prevents conception.

However, USAID Assistant Administrator for Global Health Kent Hill  
wrote in a December 13 letter to Polo that it is USAID policy to remain  
neutral on what he calls "emergency contraceptive pills" (ECPs) in Peru  
because "this issue has proven particularly controversial" in that  
country.  As Carlos Polo says, "The point is not what the U.S.  
government thinks about ECPs but Peruvians' laws and thinking."  The  
two grantees from which USAID is seeking a so-far-unspecified amount of  
money are the Peruvian ombudsman's office, called Defensoria del  
Pueblo, and a major Peruvian feminist group, Mañuela Ramos, which has  
received tens of millions of dollars in USAID funding.

The precedent set here is a big one.  "We are the first organization to  
tell USAID about these activities with documented evidence and a  
strategy," Polo said.  "During the last 20 years, I saw many complaints  
about USAID but no results.  To the contrary, USAID officials saw  
pro-life groups as enemies denouncing USAID without much evidence.*

New NBC Drama Show Mocks Christianity
American Family Association
(As December 21, 2005)

http://www.afa.net/petitions/issuedetail.asp?id=175

Email NBC Chairman Bob Wright over NBC's latest show, "The Book of  
Daniel."

NBC is touting the network's mid-season replacement series "The Book of  
Daniel" with language that implies it is a serious drama about  
Christian people and Christian faith. The main character is Daniel  
Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest whose wife depends heavily on  
her mid-day martinis.

Webster regularly sees and talks with a very unconventional  
white-robed, bearded Jesus. The Webster family is rounded out by a  
23-year-old homosexual Republican son, a 16-year-old daughter who is a  
drug dealer, and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the  
bishop's daughter.

At the office, his lesbian secretary is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Network hype – and the mainstream media – call it "edgy," "challenging"  
and "courageous." The hour-long limited drama series will debut January  
6 with back-to-back episodes and will air on Friday nights. The writer  
for the series is a practicing homosexual.

The homosexual son will be network prime-time's only regular male  
homosexual character in a drama series.

Please use the link below to send a letter to NBC Chairman Bob Wright.

Next, please forward this to your family and friends today!

Those at NBC responsible for this program consider it a good,  
religiously oriented show typical of Christian families.
