Send Macy's Message of Outrage over Christian Woman's Firing

Macy's fires Christian for protecting women's dressing rooms from cross-dresser

She endured expletives from transgender, then got fired for standing firm in her faith.

December 7, 2011


Dear Charles,
Macy's has fired a Christian woman for refusing to violate her religious beliefs. Her offense? She prevented a man dressed as a woman from entering the women's dressing room.
According to Liberty Counsel, Natalie Johnson says she saw the young man walk out of the women's fitting room and politely told him that he could not go back in because it was for women only. The cross-dressing young man claimed that he is a "female." Johnson said that he was wearing make-up and girl's clothing, but clearly he was a male. The cross-dresser was accompanied by five other individuals.
The group argued with expletives that Macy's is LGBT-friendly, to which Johnson replied that Macy's is also non-discriminatory toward religion, and that it would go against her religious beliefs to lie that he was a woman or compromise with homosexuality. The group then demanded to speak with a manager.
Johnson's boss referred her to Macy's LGBT policy which allows "transgender" people to change in any dressing room they want.
The manager demanded that she comply with the LGBT policies or lose her job. Johnson refused to go against her sincerely held religious beliefs and was terminated from her job.
Macy's has essentially opened women's dressing rooms to every man. The LGBT agenda has become the theater of the absurd.
TAKE ACTION
Email Macy's President Terry Lundgren and urge him to immediately apologize to Natalie, reinstate her position with Macy's and put safeguards in place to protect women customers from men who would enter their dressing areas.
IMPORTANT! Personally call Macy's headquarters at 513-579-7000 and express your outrage at this injustice to female employees and customers.

It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

Contact Your Senators to STOP the Attack on Marriage

This past week, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill that eliminates the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). This inappropriately named “Respect for Marriage Act” does nothing but disrespect the institution of marriage and those that support marriage between one man and one woman.

Please contact your Senators and urge them to vote NO on the Respect for Marriage Act (S.598). To contact your Senators on this critical issue, click here.

Thank you for supporting the Faith & Freedom Coalition in our mission to restore America’s greatness and founding principles and turnout the largest conservative vote in the history of presidential politics in 2012.

Help Stop the Senate Attack on Marriage Law‏

November 10, 2011

Dear Maureen,
Today the Senate Judiciary Committee passed S.598, Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) bill that would completely eradicate the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the protections it affords taxpayers and the majority of state's voters who have decided to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
The misnomer medal of the month might have to be awarded early! S.598, the misleadingly titled "Respect for Marriage Act" not only disrespects American's across the country who want to protect traditional marriage--and have done as much in the 31 states which have passed statewide referendums in favor of marriage--it will also require your tax dollars go to pay for the federal benefits and subsidies of gay couples, irrespective of where they live, who have gotten "married" in 6 states that allow it.
Marriage is not some prize that liberals can award to a small, vocal and already well off special interest group. Marriage between one man and one woman was created prior to the formation of any governments and is given benefits by governments because it uniquely contributes to a productive society. Trying to change the definition to fit some misguided concept can only cause harm to society.

Urge your Senators to vote NO on Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) S.598 the "Respect for Marriage Act."

Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
President

Since you seem to not care about your Hilton Brand being used by CAIR in support of  CAIR's keynote speaker a radical, anti-American cleric Siraj Wahhaj.* He was named by the U.S. Government as a possible co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center that killed six Americans.

Wahhaj testified as a character witness for convicted WTC terrorist mastermind the blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman. Stephen Schwartz says, "Wahhaj has expressed a desire to remain neutral about Osama bin Laden and his complicity in the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

"CAIR is showing its true colors by aligning with such a notorious anti-American radical," said Dr. Gary Cass of DefendChristians.Org. "We're shocked that the Hilton Hotel will allow such an event on their property.

 

 We invite fellow patriots to join in a demonstration at 4:00 PM Saturday Nov 5th, 2011, in front of the hotel to expose the public to Hilton's association with CAIR and Siraj Wahhaj."

"Hilton Hotels must hear from thousands of patriots," said Cass. "Muslims have successfully threatened and pressured other hotels to cancel conferences that tell the truth about Islam. Its time we tell Hilton to stop doing business with CAIR or we will stop doing business with Hilton."

"Protect Our Children’s Innocence" Petition to Congress

Dear Pro-family American,

The Radical Homosexuals infiltrating the United States Congress have a plan:

Indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society.

Their ultimate dream is to create a new America based on sexual promiscuity in which the values you and I cherish are long forgotten.

I hate to admit it, but if they pass the deceptively named "Student Non-Discrimination Act," (H.R. 998 & S. 555) that’s exactly what they’ll do.

Better named the "Homosexual Classrooms Act," its chief advocate in Congress is Rep. Jared Polis, himself an open homosexual and radical activist.

And it's dangerously close to becoming the law of the land.

H.R. 998 already has 147 co-sponsors in the House!

And S. 555 already has 34 co-sponsors in the Senate!

That’s why I need you to act quickly -- right away -- to protect our nation’s youth.

I have prepared the official "Protect Our Children’s Innocence" Petition to Congress for you to sign.

Please click here to sign it right away so I can rush it to the Capitol with thousands more.

You and I must defeat this disastrous legislation.

You see, the Homosexual Classrooms Act contains a laundry list of anti-family provisions that will:

*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so "homosexual students" don’t feel "singled out" during already explicit sex-ed classes;

*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to "experiment" with the homosexual "lifestyle;"

*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to "freedom of self-expression;"

*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a "hostile learning environment" for homosexual students.

And that’s just the beginning of the Homosexual Lobby’s radical agenda.

In fact, it will set them up to ram through their entire perverted vision for a homosexual America.

My friend, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this is not a fight we can afford to lose.

That’s why Public Advocate is leading the fight against this immoral legislation.

Press Release & Petition in Support of Free Speach At Sam Houston State Univ.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)
601 Walnut Street, Suite 510
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Phone: 215-717-3473; Fax: 215-717-3440

PRESS RELEASE:


Professor Takes Box Cutter to Students' Free Speech Wall at Sam Houston State University; Police Threaten Students with Charges over Profanity about President Obama

HOUSTON, Oct. 6, 2011—Two weeks ago, a professor at Sam Houston State University (SHSU) used a box cutter to cut an insult against President Obama out of a "free speech wall" promoted by four student organizations. When campus police arrived, an officer demanded that the students censor the wall or else face criminal charges for having offended the professor. The students have come to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help.

"This is an astounding example of the 'heckler's veto,' where one professor decided he could dictate what everyone else is allowed to say—and the campus police actually took his side," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. "Furthermore, it's absurd to threaten students with criminal charges for other people's expression on a 'free speech wall.'"

In September, students learned about a new social media policy planned for SHSU. The policy claims that the letters "SHSU" and similar terms have been trademarked, so student organizations that want to use these terms in their online identities (including the names of their organizations) will have to join a very speech-restrictive "Official Community" controlled by the university. Joining the "Official Community" requires turning over a group's social media passwords to the university, giving the university authority to approve a group's "official profile image[s]/avatars," and giving the university authority to edit and delete a group's social media content. If the groups do not join, they will have to change their online names so as not to use the terms trademarked by SHSU.

To protest this policy, four student organizations—SHSU Lovers of Liberty, Bearkat Democrats, Sam Houston Democratic Socialists, and College Republicans—cosponsored the display of a "free speech wall" on September 22. The student groups had received permission from SHSU to erect the wall. Many students wrote a variety of political and other messages on the wall, including "don't hate against Gays," "If you make less than $200,000 Republicans don't care about you," "Han Solo Shot First," "Legalize Weed," and "FUCK OBAMA." Someone wrote "BUSH" under "OBAMA," and others joined the political dialogue on the wall.

According to a statement to police filed the same day by SHSU Lovers of Liberty President Morgan Freeman, SHSU Professor of Mathematics Joe E. Kirk demanded that the student organizers cover up the part of the wall containing the profanity about President Obama. They declined, so Kirk cut out the profanity next to the word "Obama" (but none of the other profanities on the wall) with a box cutter. To report Kirk's vandalism, the students called in an SHSU Police Department officer, who interviewed Kirk and then informed the students that they must either cover up all of the profanity on the wall or take down the wall altogether. The students refused to be agents of the university's selective censorship and therefore felt forced to take down the entire wall, which they did.

Later that day, University Police Department Deputy Chief James Fitch told SHSU student newspaper The Houstonian that because Kirk was "offended by the use of the profanity," its use "qualified it as disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor."

FIRE wrote SHSU President Dana L. Gibson on September 23 in defense of the First Amendment on campus, noting that the Supreme Court stated in Papish v. Board of Curators of the University of Missouri (1973) that "the mere dissemination of ideas—no matter how offensive to good taste—on a state university campus may not be shut off in the name alone of 'conventions of decency.'" FIRE also cited the landmark Supreme Court case Cohen v. California (1971), which made it clear that public profanity in the communication of core political speech is protected, writing that "one man's vulgarity is another's lyric."

Gibson responded later that day, assuring FIRE that the incident was "under investigation." On October 4, SHSU Public Information Officer Julia May replied, acknowledging that Kirk "overreacted" but failing to address the police officer's censorship demand and threat of criminal charges against the students. FIRE asked Gibson for clarification on October 5, but SHSU has not responded.

"The worst overreaction in this case came from the campus police, who not only demanded censorship of a 'free speech wall' but also have put students on notice that they could be criminally charged simply for offending others," FIRE Vice President of Programs Adam Kissel said. "Sam Houston State University must reassure students that it will defend their First Amendment rights against such a terrible misinterpretation of the law."

FIRE also named SHSU as "Speech Code of the Month" for October 2011 due to its unconstitutional ban on "using abusive, indecent, profane or vulgar language."

FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, freedom of expression, academic freedom, due process, and rights of conscience at our nation's colleges and universities. FIRE's efforts to preserve liberty on campuses across America are described at thefire.org.

FILE AN OFFICIAL FCC INDECENCY COMPLAINT AGAINST Fox's The X Factor

In a TV landscape that is turning increasingly hostile to family audiences, it is always a relief to find an hour or two each week when you can relax together as a family and enjoy a program that is reliably free of offensive content. 

Which is why so many parents feel utterly betrayed when a program billed and promoted as family-friendly catches them off-guard with offensive, indecent content.

Wednesday night millions of families tuned-in to watch 2-hour season premiere of The X Factor on Fox.  From the same creators of American Idol which skyrocketed to the top of the ratings charts because of loyal family audiences, families had every reason to believe The X Factor would be similarly family-friendly.

Instead they got a sucker-punch in the form of a grossly inappropriate performance from Geo Godley, who dropped his pants and appeared to expose himself (covered only by a digitally superimposed X) during a song and dance routine. 

If you do what contestant Geo Godley did in public, you get arrested. Apparently, if do it on Fox, you get free publicity during prime time. The fact that prolonged, previously taped footage of a contestant dancing nude on the X Factor stage made it to air represents a conscious decision by the producers to put this content in front of families during hours when children are likely to be watching. This incident demonstrates Fox’s contempt for any standard of decency in exchange for free use of the publicly-owned airwaves.

If you agree that this content does not belong on primetime television – particularly on a show that masquerades as family entertainment, take action now by filing a complaint with the FCC.

When the broadcast networks challenged the FCC’s fines for fleeting nudity and fleeting expletives, they assured Americans that if the courts ruled in their favor they wouldn’t suddenly start inserting more and more offensive content just because the courts gave them the “right” to do so…. Yet this week the New York Times notes a marked increase in unbleeped anatomical references during primetime hours on the broadcast networks; and now Fox is deliberately choosing to include footage of a man undressing on stage.

To make matters worse – the episode was rated TV-PG DL – so even if parents were using the V-Chip, that panacea touted by the entertainment industry as a parents’ best ally in protecting their children from inappropriate content, it would not have prevented audiences from seeing the disgraceful performance.

This X Factor striptease is indecent by any contemporary community standard.  The FCC needs to hear from you today.  Please take action now.

TAKE A MOMENT NOW to file your official Indecency Complaint with the FCC, and please, forward this message to everyone in your address book.

Support The Alabama Immigration Law

Alabama just passed one of the strongest anti-illegal alien laws in the country. What are they doing?

-       Schools in Alabama are now required to check for citizenship. 
-       Police are allowed to check someone’s citizenship if they have a reasonable suspicion they are here illegally. 
-       Illegal immigrants may be held without bail. 
-       State courts may not enforce contracts made with illegal aliens. 
-       It is a felony for an illegal immigrant to do business in Alabama.
-       It is a misdemeanor for an immigrant not to have immigration papers with them.

This law has had an amazing effect. Illegal aliens are fleeing Alabama in droves.

This law should be enacted in all 50 states. 

Go here to sign our petition.


Unfortunately the Obama Department of Justice has sued to prevent just that.  We need to tell Washington to keep their hands off of Alabama's law and let all 50 states pass their own anti-illegal immigration laws.  Join us and sign our petition to tell Washington, we support Alabama and we stand with Alabama!

Take a moment to forward this message to five of your friends and ask them to sign our petition too.   

Let Washington hear our voice.  We are tired of Washington turning a blind eye to the consequences of illegal immigration.  

Stand with Alabama!

Nat. Magazines Promote United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

National Magazines Promote the UNCRC

Since 37 lawmakers signed on to SR99 back in April, the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) would face a predetermined defeat if it were introduced for ratification in the U.S. Senate. But that hasn’t kept the treaty – by which nations obligate themselves to fulfill “the civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights of children” - from popping up in some generally non-political national publications in the past couple of weeks.

Several of you have commented to us that the last page of a recent edition of Parents magazine includes ratification of the CRC on a 15-item “wish list” the publishers hope to see in the next 15 years. And a recent article by Alex Wolff at CNN-Sports Illustrated’s SI.com promoting sports as a means for international social change and the promotion of peace (both good things) also counts it lamentable that the U.S. has not ratified this dangerous treaty.

In its online version, Parents features a simple slide-show frame (number 12 of 24) that says: “Our Wish: All countries adopt the United Nation Rights of Children (sic), which protects kids from hunger and maltreatment.” The write-up from Sports Illustrated takes the familiar tack of asserting that the U.S. is falling behind the rest of the world by not ratifying the treaty, without actually naming any benefits or pitfalls of said ratification. Readers are not supposed to question the content of the treaty or its impact on U.S law under our Constitution. The rest of the world has ratified it, so we should, too.

I can still hear Mom’s response to that: “And if the rest of the world jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you want to do that, too?”

Perhaps someone with connections is pushing for these mentions in unusual places. Perhaps the writers and publishers just honestly don’t know that ratifying the CRC would allow a U.N. committee to set policy that our courts would hold as binding on American families. The writers of Sports Illustrated have shown in the past an understanding that parents are generally the good guys, and that even exceptional children rarely become exceptional adults without their parents leading the way. One would suppose from the title that “Parents” would espouse that same understanding.

So, we must assume these writers simply don’t know what it is they are suggesting. That being the case, here are a few things you may want to do:

Action Items

1. If you subscribe to either of these magazines, consider writing a letter to the editor informing them that the CRC is not a measure that would be beneficial to children in the United States. By placing UN bureaucrats in the decision-making role currently occupied by fit parents, ratification in our country would actually be a nightmare, not a dream. (Don’t attack the entire article; our issue is just with the uninformed endorsement of CRC ratification.)

You can write to these publications here:

Sports Illustrated:

(Quoted:) “E-mail SI at letters@SI.timeinc.com or fax SI at 212-467-2417. Letters should include the writer’s full name, address and home telephone number and may be edited for clarity and space” if selected for inclusion in their “Letters” section, which is not likely to happen in this case.

Parents:

Visit the CRC wish page and select “Tell Us” right after “What’s Your Wish?” Tell them you wish for adoption of the Parental Rights Amendment to protect the role of parents in the lives of their children.

Please be courteous and respectful. Address the issue, don’t attack the writer!

2. If you see other such mentions in other national publications, please let us know.

3. Keep spreading the word! This treaty will not go away on its own. Those driving it in the U.S. know that if they can adopt it without the Senate – through the courts using “Customary International Law” and through the press blindly promoting it as a standard we should follow – they can still get around SR99 and win. Only the Parental Rights Amendment can protect our nation from this treaty by every route.

URGENT ACTION ALERTS: New Threat to Conscience

On August 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued an "interim final rule" that will require virtually all private health plans to include coverage for all FDA-approved prescription contraceptives, sterilization procedures, and related "patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity." These are listed among "preventive services for women" that all health plans will have to include without co-pays or other cost-sharing -- regardless of whether the insurer, the employer or other plan sponsor, or even the woman herself objects to such coverage.

Take Action #1:

Concerned Americans have until September 30 to send their comments to HHS.

• Write to HHS opposing their recent preventive services mandate.
• Download our Nationwide Bulletin Insert in both English and Spanish to use in your parish and communities.

Take Action #2:

On September 7, Cardinal DiNardo, chair of the bishops' Committee on Pro-LIfe Acitivities, urged Congress to support conscience protection legislation in light of this "unprecedented threat to religious freedom." Please add your voice to his:

• Write to Congress supporting the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (HR-1179).

Stand With Israel!

Over 24,000 Liberty Counsel friends endorsed the first delivery of our powerful “Open Letter” against Palestinian statehood!

Your signature is needed for the second delivery! 

STAND WITH ISRAEL!

Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), delivered a formal request on Sept. 20th for the U.N. General Assembly to approve statehood for Palestine. World leaders including President Barack Obama and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gathered in New York for the UN sessions and vote. But, by God’s grace, the United Nations vote was postponed! The Obama administration’s mixed messages on Palestinian statehood support, which severely threatened our relationship with Israel over the past several months, have now, thankfully, evolved into a threat to veto the motion for statehood. But such a promise is subject to political expediency and we MUST demand that the PA request be rejected! A second delivery of Liberty Counsel’s powerful “Open Letter” will be hand delivered, hopefully including your endorsement, to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Ambassador Susan Rice after the deliberations in the UN Security Council have concluded and the vote is scheduled in the General Assembly. That’s why I need your endorsement as soon as possible! When you sign the Open Letter, you’ll be joining tens of thousands of like-minded people in the United States of America who reject Palestinian statehood and support Israel’s right to exist, to secure its borders, and to defend Jerusalem, its God-ordained national capital! And this SECOND delivery will have even more impact than the first one did! Receive your FREE “Stand with Israel!” sticker for signing the letter and showing your support of Israel. This high-quality vinyl, easily removable 4-inch oval window or bumper sticker demonstrates that you are standing with Israel – and with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! Even better, by taking this stand, you’ll be proclaiming God’s faithful covenant to defend Israel and the Holy city of Jerusalem…and to also bless people like you that stand with Israel against her enemies! Even if you already have a sticker from a previous “Stand with Israel” campaign, you’ll want another to use on a second vehicle, share with a like-minded citizen, or place in a window or other prominent place! The letter states:

If you've signed our petitions before, please enter the e-mail address that you used then click "Find Me" and we'll fill out your name and address information for you.  Email:

An Open Letter to: -- Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice We, as citizens of the United States, reject Palestinian statehood. We stand with Israel’s right to secure its borders without giving away additional land to its self-proclaimed enemies who do not even recognize Israel’s right to exist as a nation. We declare the irrefutable fact that earlier “land for peace” agreements, such as the infamous Gaza withdrawals of 2005 and 2009, forcibly displaced thousands of families from their homes, served to increase terrorist attacks from even closer range, and led to the killing of many innocent men, women, and children. We further declare that the United Nations’ “Peace Plan” for the region is NOT a plan for peace at all, but would dislocate at least 400,000 Jews from their homes and lands. No foreign country or United Nations resolution has the right to decide a nation’s borders! Further, we acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s God-ordained, undivided capital, knowing that Israel’s sovereignty will protect the holy sites of all faiths, rather than allowing them to come under control of Hamas terrorists who hate both Jews and Christians alike. We honor Israel as our most significant and most trusted friend and ally in the region and are grateful for the vital intelligence and technological advances emanating from Israel that have enhanced our own national security. We, the undersigned, call upon the United Nations to reject the Palestinian National Authority’s request for statehood. We encourage President Barack Obama, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Congress, and the whole body politic of the United States of America to stand unwaveringly with Israel, without taking any further actions that would jeopardize Israel’s sovereignty, safety, security, or borders. Sincerely,
