"Focus on the Family" Excludes Ron Paul

[coffeewithchess]

The Christian groups do it all the time...look at the Ford boycott. Letting them know that you are so unhappy that you are going to unsubscribe may be the only way they listen...clearly leaving out Ron Paul was somebody's choice or mistake...but it seems that RP is left out of a lot these days not by mistake.

Who is more focused on families than a pro-life OB-GYN with a billion children, grandchildren and a great-grandchild. A man who is against wars of aggression and wants to be friendly with all nations? That doesn't describe anyone *but* Ron Paul.

Have you ever heard of the Huckster/McPlain/Mittens/Ghouli/etc.... It would be terrible to endorse someone who is actually a true pro-lifer like RP, now wouldn't it. Focus on the Family seems to be about money and power and not about doing the right thing. Sometimes I wonder about them and their true agenda. However, they are a powerful tool if you can get them behind the movement.

I called and mentioned that they had "five" pro-abortion candidates, but they didn't have the only candidate that is actively trying to overturn Roe vs. wade. And then asked them if they still held an anti-abortion position. --

The young lady was real nice. And so was I. She said someone would call me back a let me know why Dr. Paul was excluded, or if they are going to add Dr. Paul to the line up.

Eh. Nothing new here.

 

[JSCHAFER1337]

It seems they have disabled the link for contacting them...we must be overwhelming their inbox, haha.

All the more reason to give them a polite call.

 

[shaggy240v]

Just e-mailed... was very polite.

How do you know it's disabled? I didn't get a undelivered email yet?

I also emailed every address for affiliate "Family Policy Councils" on this page:
http://www.citizenlink.org/fpc/

It was a slightly more generic info about Ron Paul.

Email address list below for easy cut&paste:

[Smiley Gladhands]

Just emailed as well. I was polite as I could be. I mentioned something about the early Christians standing up for what they believed, and sadi that we would continue to do the same....then I mentioned something about the golden rule. Hopefully it helped plant a seed or two.

My email.



I hope this opens their eyes just a little

Personally, if I got that letter, I'd throw it in the trash. You need to learn to state facts without launching immediately into attack mode. This may have made you feel big, but you eliminated the possibility of opening a dialog with this man, and probably just pissed him off.

+1

Remember, persuasion is about making them feel good, not you.

IMHO, Dobson has been a political hack for the neo-cons for years. He gives them cover from the religious right to do as they please, and they give him legitimacy and influence in political circles.

Eric Prince ..War Profiteer., FotF==Funded psyops front group manipulating right wing Xtians to give up their kids, country and treasure for their hundred year war.. Now remember..be nice to these shill scumbags while they try to stage word warp three to fatten their bank book. Oh..and don't cancel the subscription to your programming..oops .. I mean their radio show and propaganda booklets..oops..I mean literature..because we don't want anybody to get mad at us and think we like to cause problems where conflicts may occur. Because surely they cannot make a buck off this and no blood gets spilled..so please don;t cause a conflict without a payoff.

Thanks

I just listened to 30+ minutes of their South Carolina primary coverage...I didn't hear RP's name even mentioned. But they did talk about Rudy Giuliani who placed behind RP in SC...

 

[BeFranklin]

I wrote my letter as a Christian, and told them their list stank as a "pro family"
list, and I was going to tell other Christians about it. They have two
pro-gay marriage candidates in there at least. Complete fraud.

Your candidate listing is pretty bad. You have candidates who shouldn't
be on there at all. Rudy Giuliani believes in gay rights, dresses up as woman
to have "fun" - but Deuternonomy 22:5 says this is an abomination, lived with gay
roomates, hired a pedophile priest and family friend after he was kicked out of the
Catholic church, and has made his police officers match in gay parades. Mitt Romney
is singly handling responsible for bringing gay marriage in the United States as
governor of Massachusetts over the wishes of the legislator, which isn't surprising,
because some family values, ie monogamy, is not what certain members of the mormon church
exactly espouses - ie their historically responsible for most of the polygamy in the United States.
And that is just the Republican side.

Meanwhile, I notice you left out one of the strongest pro-family and Christian candidates
in the race. Ron Paul has been a Christian all his life, was recently endorsed by Roe
of Roe vs Wade for his pro-life platform, he's been married to the same wife his entire
life (you have candidates that are multiple divorce-es, how is this pro-family?), has an
enormous number of grandkids, has always taught his family the purutain work ethic,
and has two brothers who are ministers. As a doctor, he's personally delivered over
4,000 babies in this world. You have the most pro-family candidate missing. Your
list is awful.

Absolutely right. Anyone with sense would stay away from Focus on the Family and their hate agenda.

 

[webber53]

Just emailed them.

 

[billyjoeallen]

Be polite. I was.
Catch more flies with honey and all that.

We at the Homeschoolers Meetup for RonPaul have already been hashing this out for a couple days now.

in 2004 one of the members had written to FoF in regard to Dobson's taking sides with the war and calling those who don't support the war unChristian and/or Liberals.

The reply was that Dobson subscribes to the Augustanian Just war theory. A quote from the reply:

As an adherent of the classic Augustinian "just war" theory, he is convinced that this is a case where the biblical and theological justifications for the use of force are fairly obvious. You may be right in asserting that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was not "defensive" in the strictest and most narrowly defined sense of the term. However, viewed within the larger context of the global War on Terrorism, the defensive nature of America’s pre-emptive strike against Hussein seems indisputable. Please don’t misunderstand. Dr. Dobson doesn’t like war and killing any better than you do, but he believes that this may be one of those moments in history when we are forced to settle for a trade-off: the lives of the few in exchange for the lives of the many.

I am a Christian, who never listened to Focus on the Family. However, I emailed them.

 

[Santana28]

did anyone catch MSNBC about a half hour ago - they had a spokesman for FoF on Tucker's show and discussed this EXACT page...Tucker questioned the apparant "pro-Mitt" bias - but said NOT ONE WORD about Dr. Paul being excluded. They even showed the page! does anyone have this youtubed by chance?
