ON MARRIAGE AND FAMILY:

Obama plans to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and oppose any Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) that will be put forward. Though he campaigned as a candidate opposed to same-sex “marriage,” he fully intends to repeal DOMA — legislation that has been enacted in 44 states to protect husband-wife, traditional marriage at the state level. Even though, during the 2008 election, three different states (California, Arizona and Florida) supported traditional marriage between a man and a woman, Obama plans to overrule the will of the people and settle the issue at the federal level via presidential fiat. He also plans to oppose any new FMA (which he already voted against in 2006) that would limit marriage and protect the formal commitment between a man and a woman. On the issue of same-sex “marriage” (SSM) the public has been clear: 30 states have banned it. California, in particular, proved that the issue is a bipartisan one: Obama won by double-digit majorities, yet voters soundly rejected SSM.

ON THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA:

Obama will support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and indicates his support for expanding the bill to cover “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” Further, he has clearly stated his intention to repeal the current “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell” policy that bans open homosexuality in the U.S. military services. And, he favors adoption rights for same-sex couples as well as condom distribution throughout the world as an AIDS prevention measure. He has also said that the will strengthen and expand federal “hate crimes” legislation.

On the three big issues of today — life, marriage, homosexual behavior — President-elect Obama has plans to turn far left and ignore the will of the people. He will act by fiat, and he will appoint activist judges. We must expose the Emperor’s new clothes and make sure the public is aware of how drastically these decisions will change American society. We could see a greatly weakened American culture where life is treated cavalierly, marriage is weakened and our religious liberty is trampled. To be forewarned is to be armed for the culture battles that are ahead.
