Marriage Amendment Author Attacked by Homosexual Lobby
Seeks Help!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1252581/posts

I am guessing that this is an email some freeper got from Musgrave:

Dear friend of the family,

Radical homosexual-agenda leaders have declared me Public Enemy #1 and are spending over a million dollars on vicious, false TV ads to defeat me.

I need your help.

You may know that I have been the U.S. House leader to protect traditional marriage from the radical agenda of the homosexual lobby by sponsoring the Marriage Protection Amendment.

What you may not know is that the last sponsor of the Amendment was defeated for re-election, and now the bull's eye is on my back.

Leaders of the homosexual lobby know if they can take me out, no one will stand against them in the future.

I have no other choice but to ask for urgent help from pro-family Americans like you.

Here is what we are up against:

Three multi-millionaire, pro-gay marriage donors to my liberal Democrat opponent have already maxed out their contributions to his campaign.

So they created a front organization called a "527" to attack me from the shadows with some of the most dishonest and vile attacks anyone has ever seen.

One TV ad has an actress pretending to be me, looting a corpse in a funeral home!

Of course, the ad is full of distorted facts and blatant lies.

The most offensive ad is where the actress portraying me is stealing money out of the wallet of a soldier during combat!

These ads could defeat me if I don't get immediate help so I can defend my record and our values.

Unfortunately it looks like these ads are just the beginning of a string of hurtful and disgraceful ads my opponent and his radical pro-homosexual marriage backers will be running through Election Day.

They will stop at nothing.

In fact, my staff has checked with the TV stations and they’ve bought about $1,000,000 of airtime for these horrible ads.

With such a huge media buy, they could succeed in defeating me and crush the pro-marriage movement.

The truth is, these ads cannot go unanswered, we have to confront these lies and expose their deception – at the same time defend my conservative record and our shared values.

My goal is to launch an ad campaign that not only meets theirs, but surpasses it.

But to do so will cost a tremendous amount of money, money that I just don’t have, that’s why I’m asking for your help today.

I need to raise $450,000 in the next two weeks if we are going to put out our ads in time to make a difference.

That may sound like a lot, but I am certain with help from pro-family supporters like you we can do it.

There is literally no time to wait.

Please, please send my re-election campaign a generous donation of $250, $100, or $50 or even $25, today. The maximum any one person can give is $2000.

The fact is, any amount you can give will help me withstand the mudslinging from my radical opponents and allow me to return to Congress to keep leading the fight for our traditional family values.

To make it more convenient for you, I set up this special web page for you to use your credit card: http://www.musgrave2004.com/donation.html.

Or click here to go to the end of the email and fill out the convenient mail-in form.

Your donation will allow me to launch an ad campaign to answer the lies and deceptions of my opponent and the liberal special interests.

To be honest, seeing these ads has been very stressful on my family and me.

I’m also worried that if I don’t raise enough money for our ad campaign, I will be powerless to respond to these vicious attacks against me.

Unlike the homosexual lobbies’ ads, my ad campaign will be based on truth and compare my solid record to that of my opponent, liberal Democrat Stan Matsunaka

Stan Matsunaka fears the truth because he knows his record in the State Senate shows he supports homosexual marriage and will promote it as a U.S. Congressman.

If we allow these vicious ads to go unanswered then Stan Matsunaka and the radical homosexual lobby could succeed by deceiving the voters, and win on Election Day.

That’s why I so urgently need your help today. We are so close to the election day, please help me.

Please let me know I can count on you by sending your generous support of $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 or whatever you can afford, to help counter the vicious attacks from my pro-gay marriage opponents.

I hope you will do so right away by going to http://www.musgrave2004.com/donation.html or by going to the end of the email and filling out the mail-in form.

Truly, this is an emergency turn of events for my campaign and for the whole pro-family movement.

Remember that the last Congressman to introduce a Marriage Protection Amendment was defeated for re-election.

Please don't let these millionaire, pro-gay marriage leaders get away with stealing this election. Please help.

God bless. Sincerely,



Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R)
4th District, Colorado

It's always funny that your political opponents have an "agenda" and are members of a "lobby".

BTW - if you've got some spare change, you could contribute to her opponent...

Christ. Talk about a persecution fantasy.

"Leaders of the homosexual lobby know if they can take me out." Or "I will be powerless to respond to these vicious attacks against me." Is that a not so subtle hint?

How many times can one use the word gay or homosexual in a one page letter? Talk about being obsessive or protesting too much. I bet she has nightmares about the homosexuals coming to get her. Wet ones.
