MAYDAY, MAYDAY!! THIS IS BIG! THIS IS EXCITING! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!

Soulforce to confront James Dobson and Focus on the Family on May 1,
2005

Come for the day Sunday, May 1, or come for the weekend! (optional
events planned for April 30 and May 2)

Promotional Flyer with schedule is available at
http://www.soulforce.org/pdf/dobsonflyer.pdf

(please be patient when downloading, it is a large file with color)

We hope to have 1000 people there to show Dobson and the world that
ALL FAMILIES MATTER!

We will be declaring Focus on the Family a "Toxic Religion Zone"
that hurts gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals,
couples and families.

We will be confronting James Dobson for his continued attempts
to make America a fundamentalist "Christian" nation through his
strong arm tactics in Congress and the White House.

We will be holding James Dobson accountable for the
misinformation about GLTB people he perpetuates through his public
radio station and books.

If you tell just 5 people, who tell 5 people, we can have the biggest
march around Focus on the Family that James Dobson and the media have
ever seen!

Please circulate this email, or print out the flyer. The flyer is
blank on the back if you want to include your own note when passing it along.

Please tell your friends and family! And join us in Colorado Springs
on May 1!

1. Sounds Like a Noble Effort

I'll try to make it.

2. This sounds great.

I'll see if I can get this listed in my liberal seminary's newsletter. It'd be nice to have counter-clergy rallying against Dobson's hateful, malicious theology.

BTW, I couldn't find this in the DU GLBT forum, so I posted it there.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. Dobson And His Ilk Need to Learn....

...that hate has no place in religion.

Actually, the happiest day of my life would be one when the Focus on the Family building is padlocked, and James Dobson is led off in handcuffs and legirons.
