Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

HRC Pushes For Congressional Action On ENDA

by: Louise

Thu Nov 05, 2009 at 16:30:00 PM EST


Got this email earlier and wanted to share- with both of Maine's representatives being co-sponsors, I can only imagine how frustrating and infuriating for those with less supportive Congress Critters... Louise

 

Human Rights Campaign

Dear Louise,

The ENDA vote is coming.

We need your help to protect LGBT people from legalized workplace discrimination. And time is tight.

I'm sure you're feeling as disheartened as I am about the election in Maine. But if we crawl into a corner and lick our wounds, we're playing right into our opposition's hands. And today of all days, we can't afford to do that.

As we speak, the Senate is holding a hearing on the fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), and the House could hold its first important vote on ENDA in the coming weeks.

This bill would end a bitter injustice in our country: In 29 states, it's legal to fire someone because they're lesbian, gay, or bisexual; in 38 states, it's legal to fire someone for being transgender.

It's a sinister threat hanging over millions of heads. And too many in Congress have stood in the way of workplace protections from passing.

This is one of the next big battles facing our movement. And it's going to be even tougher than passing the hate crimes bill was. Right-wing groups loudly claim that measures like ENDA grant "special rights" to LGBT people and take away the freedoms of people of faith. It's absurd; it's wrong; yet lawmakers listen.

If there's one thing the hate crimes victory showed us, it's that Congress can move at a glacial pace. There's only one thing that speeds up the process: direct, sustained pressure from ordinary people like you.

Even with the most supportive Congress and president our movement has ever had, it's an uphill battle. And we won't have this Congress and this president forever.

So we can't afford to miss this window of opportunity. If we can pass an inclusive ENDA, we will make it safer for millions of people to live their lives openly in America – and the hearts and minds they'll change will open the door for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal and more.

We've waited too long for this moment. Let's make sure LGBT workers don't have to wait a minute longer.

Thank you helping us seize this critical opportunity.

Warmly,

Joe Solmonese
Joe Solmonese
President

What have you done for your Equality today!
Call your reps. people! I agree this window of opportunity will only be open a short while and we MUST take advantage of it now! The House plans it's vote within a few weeks and then the Senate (as confirmed by Sen. Harkin at todays ENDA hearing) will take it up early 2010. We must have all the pieces/co-sponsors in place by years end in the Senate. Tell every Senator it's not good enough to support ENDA, you must be a co-sponsor.

16 years since Sen. Kennedy introduced ENDA. 16 years. I'm tired of waiting......you should be too.

Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving."

Worse than 16 years
Congresswoman Bella Abzug (D-N.Y.) introduced the first bill to ban anti-gay employment discrimination in 1974. Yes, 1974...35 years ago! We have been waiting, as our fair-weather friends keep demanding, for nearly my entire 40-year-old lifetime for this bill. NO MORE WAITING!

Wow
they referenced the 'magic number' as 16 a few times during the hearing today. In 1994 Sen. Kennedy introduced S.2238 during the 103rd Congress. In 1994 we managed 30 co-sponsors in the Senate where it died in Committee. Today we have 42 co-sponsors in the Senate.

I agree.....No more waiting!!!!!!!!!!

Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving."

Rep. Wall
We need to push Congress into action. Tell your representative to vote YES on the fully inclusive ENDA today!

Asking my Rep to vote yes is the same as asking my bedroom wall to vote yes.

Everytime ENDA comes up, I've sent a letter, etc. and I get the same form letter back everytime saying:

"I'm against discrimination (to make himself feel good, of course), but . . .and I'll keep your thoughts in mind when voting on this issue.

Get Lost,
Rep. Wall


Thanks for trying!
I don't limit my contacts to my own Reps. I contact them all. It's a Federal issue that affects all Americans, not just people in a particular States.

Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving."

if I were to email my congressman
I'd just get a bunch of homophobic bullshit back. He would vote for ENDA the day hell froze over.

LOL....
They are my favorite ones to contact.:)

Luckily, my Maryland Reps are all on board for this legislation.
