=== 1. Homosexual activists bringing ANOTHER lawsuit against Brian Camenker and Scott Whiteman for exposing "Fistgate" conference in 2000! Hearing on Monday, Nov. 21, in Cambridge District Court! Attempting to collect damages!! ===

Homosexual activists have suddenly resurrected a five-year-old legal action that had been dormant and believed to be abandoned, in an effort to collect "damages" from Brian Camenker and Scott Whiteman over their successful efforts to expose gay activists teaching bizarre homosexual sexual practices to children.

The other lawsuit, instituted by the Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD) against Camenker and Whiteman, gained much public notoriety but was essentially abandoned by GLAD earlier this year.

But now, Margot Ables, a former state employee who was fired for her participation in this sordid event but later managed to get an arbitrator to grant her job back, has re-energized her efforts to sue Camenker, Whiteman, and Parents Rights Coalition.

Ables' lawyer, Betsy Ehrenberg of the Boston firm Pyle, Rome, Lichten, Ehrenberg & Liss-Riordan, has made it made it very clear that they intend to collect substantial monetary damages.

"What are your assets?. . .Do you own a house?" Ehrenberg asked Camenker after the preliminary session on September 15 at Cambridge District Courthouse. She then told Camenker that she will have no problem collecting money from him and Whiteman over this incident.

At the September 15 session, Camenker was representing himself, without a lawyer. In the GLAD case he had been represented by Boston-based Lawson & Weitzen, but they told him that they will not represent him further until he catches up on the legal bills from that case. Lawson & Weitzen continues to represent Whiteman separately.

This past week, however, the American Family Association Center for Law and Policy agreed to take on Camenker's case at no charge, and immediately began working on it.

The sordid background. . .

Back in March of 2000, news of an incredibly depraved government-sponsored workshop involving state employees teaching bizarre homosexual sex acts to schoolchildren spread across the country.

Scott Whiteman had personally attended it (interestingly, the public was invited) and Camenker and Whiteman had exposed it, first in an article in Massachusetts News and then in an audio tape of the workshop. It was carried on local and national media, and eventually was even written about in several books.

Read the original Massachusetts News article here, describing it.

(Yes, it was organized by GLSEN, the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network -- which also organized the conference where the "Little Black Book" was distributed this year.)

At the time, Whiteman was Executive Director of Parents Rights Coalition (predecessor of Article 8 Alliance) which Camenker headed.

The homosexual movement responded by immediately initiating a law against Brian Camenker, Scott Whiteman, and Parents Rights Coalition, claiming that they had violated an obscure and antiquated Massachusetts wiretapping law. And they attempted to stop all distribution of the tape through a bizarre restraining order that originally included all the Boston media and even (we're not kidding here) the Massachusetts Legislature.

This ridiculous lawsuit resumes with a hearing scheduled for this Monday, November 21, at 2:00 pm, in Cambridge District Court. We'll keep you informed.

Note from Brian Camenker: The brutal nature of the homosexual movement is to attempt to destroy anyone who challenges them. And anyone who exposes their activities with children -- that particularly incites their rage. But we're not intimidated by these thugs. We're not afraid of them. This won't stop us. We will win this.

=== 2. Lawsuit is just part of latest assault against Article 8 people by vicious gay movement. But we're not backing down. ===

Over the last few months, homosexual activists have been waging a particularly disgusting campaign to harass and intimidate the Article 8 office.

When challenged, the gay movement rarely attempts to defend their position on its merits. Instead, they pick a few individuals and go after them personally with whatever vicious things they can think of.

They've made a point to go after one of our office volunteers -- Amy. They send Amy horrible pornographic personal email messages. They've also sent her emails threatening her family. They publish her address on their blogs. On two recent occasions, they've stolen Amy's credit card numbers and charged bizarre (i.e., not expensive -- just weird) things to her accounts. This is the kind of depraved, dangerous people we are up against.

And in this week's "Bay Windows" (the Boston-based homosexual newspaper distributed across Massachusetts) they put Amy's name in a front page article. And last week they published where Amy's daughter goes to school.

(Does this bother you? Here's one place where Bay Windows gets funding: "DirecTV" buys expensive full-page ads! You can call DirecTV at 1-800-347-3288 or email them here. Let them know why you and your friends will never use their service.)

But Amy is a role model to all of us. Sure, this is all very scary and unnerving. But Amy's not backing down. She's not going to let them think they can do this to everyone!!

Bay Windows also put my picture on their front page this past week, with an incendiary article, in an effort to intimidate me. But that won't work either.

And some of it is really obsessive. For instance, they went on dozens of web sites and registered "Artie Eight" for everything from mortgage requests to auto loans to travel brochures, and even magazine subscriptions. But think about it -- in general, it's relatively easy to throw away junk mail, or tell a mortgage company that their call is a mistake -- compared to the time it must take to go onto a web site and fill out a form with all the required information. Imagine someone actually taking the time to do that. That's how obsessed and, yes, sick some of these people are.

Be not afraid.
