Concerned Women for America is joining the right-wing freakout over Boy Scouts head Robert Gates’ suggestion that the organization lift its ban on gay troop leaders. In a fundraising email today, CWA president Penny Nance declares that the Boy Scouts “have taken a radical turn” and that allowing gay leaders will “dismantle one of the last remaining traditional institutions that make America great” while putting “our young sons at risk.”
Dear ____,
The Boy Scouts of America have taken a radical turn.
Last week, Robert Gates, president of the Boy Scouts, called for an end to the ban on homosexual leaders ... effectively caving to the forces of political correctness ...
• Betraying parents
• Betraying young scouts
• Betraying the Scout Oath to remain "morally straight"
• And betraying the Boy Scouts' decades-old record of courage and leadership.
I will not stand by while activist groups dismantle one of the last remaining traditional institutions that make America great - and put our young sons at risk.
Sex and politics don't belong in the Boy Scouts.
Homosexual activists long ago declared war on the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and have for years delivered blow after blow against them for their stand against open homosexuality within their leadership.
The Scouts have stood with dignity and valor through every attempt, but that's about to change ...
Homosexual activists are on the brink of finally bullying them into submission. and BSA President Gates needs to know just where you stand regarding his lack of courage.
Don't let the Scouts become just one more institution where Christians will be forced to compromise their convictions. .
Join us as we call on the Boy Scouts of America to remain faithful to their founding and to, above all, be courageous in pursuing their core principle of "Duty to God."
Sincerely,
Penny Nance
Chief Executive Officer and President
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee
