Wrath of Right
Slows ENDA
By
Rev. Ted Pike
17 May 2010
 Homosexual
online newspaper The
Washington Blade
says the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is stalled—largely
because “the right-wing has effectively turned [it] into a
debate over letting men use women’s restrooms.”
 The
Blade is talking about YOUR heavy protest calling, not only
to your members of Congress, but especially the 13 uncommitted Senators
whom Truthtellers.org
has listed for the last two weeks.
The
Blade references Politico.com’s May 14 article which
describes the increasing reluctance of moderate Democrats to tackle
controversial issues this year. Politico reports, “There’s
little appetite among Democrats to have a fight on any more controversial
issues before they face the voters.” The Blade adds
“it’s becoming increasingly clear that House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi is undergoing pressure to shield vulnerable Democrats…The
writing is on the proverbial wall: ENDA is on the ropes.”
New
England’s largest LGBT online newspaper, BayWindows.com,
cites Roll Call, which specializes in covering Congressional legislation.
This source agrees, “[Democratic] Leadership has grown quiet—no
more regular expressions of optimism and predictions for when Congress
will take up the bill, and the waiting game is wearing on nerves.”
Yet
the homosexual lobby remains determined to pass ENDA regardless
of its adverse affect on Democrats at mid-terms. BayWindows.com
says, “Ron Carey, executive director of the National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force, says, ‘We have enough quotes to pass ENDA
in committee and in the House, which tells us that our vigorous
lobbying and grassroots engagement efforts are very effective.’”
Roll Call reports that “senior Democratic aides and lawmakers”
believe ENDA could be on the House floor this month. One such aide
told Bay Windows “Democratic leaders would likely be discussing
timing next week and there should be more ‘clarity’
on timing by the end of this month.”
LGBT
sources say they fear Republican efforts to “recommit”
the bill, forcing it to restart its legislative trajectory. What
makes them most nervous (and what they hope the right won’t
notice) is continued unwillingness of at least 13 Senators to publicly
support ENDA. If such support does not materialize soon, House LBGT
leaders are extremely reluctant to push ENDA, even though it would
probably pass the House. Further impeding ENDA is the strong likelihood
that the Senate will not have time on their schedule to vote on
ENDA before summer recess.
If
ENDA goes forward now, controversy over it will dominate summer
politics straight up to the mid-term elections. Over the past several
Congresses, Democrats for the first 18 months have attempted to
wreck our nation’s morals and take away freedom through pro-homosexual
hate crimes laws. But for the last six months before mid-terms,
they have endeavored to transform their reputations into defenders
of family values. Now, controversy over Democrats’desire to
allow “transitioning” men into female restrooms and
showers would send the worst possible message to mid-term voters.
Finally,
if ENDA were actually defeated in the House and Senate, it would
make ENDA a two-time loser—weakening its chances for reintroduction
next January. Many Democratic leaders are thus open to the wisdom
of not moving ENDA forward at this time.
Since
May 1, when Truthtellers.org
first published the names of 13 undecided Senators, perhaps thousands
of angry Americans have called them. Here again are the crucial
13 Senators we must make absolutely sure do not vote for ENDA:
* Mark Warner (D-VA)
* Kent Conrad (D-ND)
* Byron Dorgan (D-ND)
* Tim Johnson (D-SD)
* Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)
* Robert Byrd (D-WV)
* Harry Reid (D-NV)
* Max Baucus (D-MT)
* Ben Nelson (D-NE)
* John Tester (D-MT)
* Kay Hagan (D-NC)
* Evan Bayh (D-IN)
* Scott Brown (R-MA)
Keep
pressuring the above Senators, phoning toll-free at 1-877-851-6437.
Also call the members of the Senate from your state with the following
message,
“Please tell the Senator not to vote for the disgusting
ENDA bill, S.1584. It would lead to male employees, who claim
they want to become women, using female restroom and shower facilities.
We will never forgive the Democrats, especially at midterms, if
the Senator votes for this obscene legislation.”

Note
For
those new to the hate bill controversy that is the topic of most
of Rev. Pike's work, please link to the following articles:
 Alert
to Congress Regarding Hate Bills and the False Flag Attack Threat
by America First Books publisher William B. Fox. Two-thirds
down the web page please find the essay "The
Hate Crime Law Concept: It is all very sinister for at least nine
major reasons."
Also,
earlier on this same page I comment:
Although
Rev Ted Pike is completely independent from Captain May and myself
in terms of his political and religious views, the threats we
address all stem from the same corrupt power elite. I mention
in my concluding remarks below that this elite “would mobilize
us into domestic tyranny and foreign wars, while distracting us
from economic depression and the groups that brought it about.”
This
is the real problem, not the lack of more “hate crime”
laws. If anything, we need even more freedom of speech to speak
truth to power, sort out our problems, and develop peaceful strategies
to handle high level malefactors. This is why we urgently need
for members of Congress to not only take a principled stand and
stop all hate crime legislative initiatives, but to also roll
back all the existing hate crime laws currently on the books.
Hate
crime laws actually pose a major national security threat. They
condition Americans to feel that certain types of thought are inherently
immoral or illegal, even if they do not result in any form of violence
or infringement on the rights of others.
In
our articles related to false flag attacks, Capt.
Eric H. May and I have discussed strong evidence that Mossad-CIA
was behind 9-11, the mere "thought" of which would some
day be outlawed once hate crime oversight bureaucracies become firmly
implanted in America. We can expect government hate crime overwatch
entities to experience the usual cancerous growth and abuse of power
that libertarian writer and Presidential candidate Harry Browne
described in his classic book Why
Government Doesn't Work.
