The Marriage fundie starting to Organize here in NC..

Yes a bit late, one would have thought that these bigots would have been fully ready for action after 8 years of trying to get this on the ballot. Yet they aren’t ready..

I received the following email to day,via one of my sock puppet account I used to follow these jerks.

It seem they might have some folks willing to put their faces to the cause, but they need to identify how they can help the main bigots who hide in offices all day.. 

However, while EqualityNC, ProtectNC and Racetotheballot are focusing on the West and central and now Eastern NC, these Fundie have all ready been working in the East..

NC: Bigot Lobbyist Tami Fitzgerald thinks she the bomb

This pass Monday Wake County Commissioners voted on a Resolution to support NC Constitutional Amendment 1, that will be voted on this May 8th.

The called for action was launch on Sunday by many tweeters and Bloggers. The commissioners weren’t excepting such a large turn out.. Twenty four people spoke concerning the Resolution.. 23 against and 1 for it.

The one for it was a paid Lobbyist Tami Fitzgerald who work with NC4Marriage and the NC Family Policy Council and a few other bigoted groups in NC.

The Resolution was were by the nephew of the Late Jessie Helms,yes I was shock to learn this , we simply can’t afford more Helms anti-every thing rhetoric. Chairman Paul Coble the writer of the Resolution and who have hope to go to US Congress this November, didn’t look at the speakers while they spoke nor allow a roll call vote. The Resolution pass on party lines..

Tami and her bigoted groups thinks this is a major win, since her group have just started their campaign for Amendment 1, while those oppose this amendment start back in October of 2012.

The anti-gay group had this to say about Wake Resolution,

“We applaud the Wake County Board of Commissioners for promoting civic participation of citizens, and especially for standing with the majority of North Carolinians, who support and understand the importance of preserving and protecting marriage in the State Constitution,” said Bill Brooks, president of the North Carolina Family Policy Council.

With one small win they have taken to their twitter accounts, by tweeting the following.

NC Family Policy Council: Whining as usual.

Governor Perdue gets it wrong on the Marriage Amendment -- http://t.co/H2fFwrXF. #ncpol #ncga #consnc #ncfamily #protectmarriage

They Claim she is wrong this issue, yet the link take you to post concerning DOD and DADT..

The Report,

Pentagon Issues Weddings Policy

Special Report - October 10, 2011
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) recently issued two guidance memos for military chaplains that appear to indicate a change of policy regarding their participation in same-sex wedding ceremonies as a result of last month’s repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy. As we previously reported, the repeal of DADT, which prohibited homosexuals from serving openly in the U.S. military, became official on September 20. The DOD memos, which were issued just 10 days later on September 30, say that, depending on state law, military chaplains should make decisions about participating in “private functions,” including religious ceremonies, on a “sexual-orientation neutral basis,” while emphasizing that chaplains cannot be forced to officiate at ceremonies that may conflict with their religious faith.

nowhere is Bev Perdue mention at all..

They Claim this because Perdue said she would vote against Amendment 1 (the marriage amendment), She believe its to far reaching and just plain wrong..

Now this link does deal with our Governor,

“Sadly, our Governor is out of touch with the truth that is acknowledged by research, business, and voters—marriage is good for society,” said Bill Brooks, president of the North Carolina Family Policy Council. “Voters in our state do not want to sit on the sidelines and leave the definition of marriage up to judges and the legislature. Far from being a distraction to job creation, a marriage protection amendment will settle the question of marriage definition in North Carolina for years to come, allowing the executive branch and the legislature to focus on eliminating governmental roadblocks to job creation by the private sector. The threat to marriage redefinition is real in North Carolina, as most recently demonstrated by the efforts of homosexual couples to obtain marriage licenses in Asheville. If Governor Perdue is really interested in jobs for North Carolina, she should be supporting the marriage protection amendment. Companies want families with strong marriages, who raise children who are well-educated and have the moral values to be good citizens, consumers and employees.”

Face it guys, the Time are changing,, no matter how hard you try to turn back the hands of times..
