Marriage Protection Amendments

It has become increasingly important to recognize the threat to Family Values and the roles that mothers and fathers play in raising their children both as an intact family and broken family following divorce, which is implied by same-sex unions and marriage.

A study done by the The Traditional Values Coalition:

gives a breakdown of marriage values in all fifty states:

SPECIAL REPORT: 50-State Survey Of Marriage Protection Amendments
UPDATED REPORT, November 2008

At this writing, 30 states have constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. Forty-one states have laws banning same-sex marriage either by statute or by amendment.

TVC supports constitutional amendments that ban both homosexual marriage and homosexual civil unions—which provide the same legal benefits to homosexuals as married couples under the law. It is clear that much work needs to be done to defend marriage not only at the state level but at the national level through a constitutional amendment. A federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) protects states from being forced to recognize out-of-state homosexual marriages.


Alabama: A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage was approved in June, 2006.

Alaska: Defense of Marriage Act is law and part of the state constitution. ACLU is suing to force the state to grant marriage benefits to unmarried couples.

Planned Parenthood’s Child Molester Cover Up EXPOSED!

Life Dynamics, Inc. (LDI), in partnership with Traditional Values Coalition, is providing irrefutable proof that Planned Parenthood (PP) is deliberately covering up the sexual molestation of girls!

Sexual activity with underage girls is illegal in all 50 states—yet Life Dynamics discovered that Planned Parenthood counselors are willing to cover up sexual crimes against underage girls by adult males!

LDI encouraged a team of girls to call PP clinics and pretend to have been sexually abused by adult males. In case after case, PP counselors willingly ignored state law to cover up these molestations and violations of statutory rape laws! These conversations were taped by LDI.

Each PP clinic that has covered up child molestation must be prosecuted! For additional information on the LDI’s Child Predator project, go to: http://www.childpredators.com

Listen to these tapes and make up your own mind about the motives of Planned Parenthood officials to cover up the sexual molestation of girls!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder by Michael Savage

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions

By Michael Savage

Dr. Michael Savage, sage prophet of the airwaves, has been diagnosing liberal mental illness for more than a decade. Now, in his third and most insightful book, he strikes at the root of today's most desperate issues, providing a hefty dose of his unique conservative medicine, including:

• Homeland security: "We need more Patton and less patent leather. . .Real homeland security begins when we arrest, interrogate, jail, or deport known operatives within our own borders. . .One dirty bomb can ruin your whole day."

• The ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, and MoveOn.org: "I believe it's time for the heads of . . . left-wing agitation groups who are using the courts to impose their will on the sheeple to be prosecuted under the federal RICO statutes."

• Illegal immigration: "I envision an Oil for Illegals program. . .The president should demand one barrel of oil from Mexico for every illegal alien that sneaks into our country."
  
• 
  

The Doctor is in and the diagnosis is clear. Read “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” and find out what you can do to treat it.

Liberalism is a Mental Illness, Findings of Top Psychiatrist

Liberals Clinically Mad, Concludes Top Psychiatrist
Eminent doctor makes case leftist ideology is a mental disorder

WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.

"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."

"Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."

While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."

For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.

Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.

"A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do," he says. "A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do.

And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do."

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

• creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
• satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
• augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
• rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

"The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "

When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

In America 75% Rates At Which Batterers Get Custody Of The Children

Rates At Which Batterers Recieve Custody
by Joan Meier, Esq.

One statement in Breaking the Silence: Children's Voices that has provoked controversy was my statement that "the studies are showing" that up to 2/3 of accused or adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole custody in court. While no empirical study can definitively determine a universal statistical rate, the key point is that the research consistently shows that accused and adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole custody disturbingly often. This confirms the anecdotal experience of domestic violence attorneys and victims around the country. The following research supports this perspective.

Go to the website (BEFORE OBAMA ERASES IT FROM HIS WEBSITE LIKE BEFORE) and read his anti-father stance and support for radical feminism.

Family Values Reaffirmation = Family Court Reform

Family Values Reaffirmation = Family Court Reform

Tens of millions of voters across 4 states, stood up for Family Rights, Marriage and Adoption Rights on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. We prevailed even in the state where the Kool-aid soaked brains of the libtards drank deep the lies of Obama and Biden.

The Family Court Reform / Foster Care Reform movement missed the Great Tidal Wave that swept out the anti-family agenda of the same-sex libtards in California, Florida, Arizona and Arkansas. The way to fixing the courts lies with the conservative movement.

We now have the first president-elect that grew up Fatherless in America. And his values show that in his choice of father-figures who he listened to and shaped his complete lack of moral fortitude and personal integrity as a man. His is the politics of convenience, the ultimate end justifies the means.

This is a man raised in a single parent home. He married a woman who hates America.

Despite efforts by me and a few others in this and other groups, Family values, such as the reaffirmation of Traditional Family values, such a Marriage and the rights of Foster Kids to a time-tested, one man, one woman home were mostly ignored, with the exception of a few family rights reformists.

All family court reforms groups could have easily piggybacked onto the Family Values bandwagon, but failed to respond positively to any family values blogs posted. On Saturday, November 1, I stood with about 200 good citizens on a street corner, and raised my sign and voice for family values. The same happened all over the state of California, Florida, Arizona and Arkansas where the forces of evil, and child abuse tried to redefine the moral virtue of marriage, and the raising of children into some kind of sexual-based union.

The best interest of children is served by the marriage of one man, one woman. Nothing else can ever replace that, or even come close individuating a child to adulthood then to model for them what is best for them, a loving mom and loving dad.
