Mass. voting to over-ride Mittens' vetoes of suicide prevention programs
The following has been appropriated (and heavily edited) from an email sent by the Maoist anti-gay fag-hag at Article Hate Alliance. I've completely re-written it to reflect OUR talking points:


=== 2. Don't let THIS one get away -- THURSDAY vote on huge CUTS for {GLBT suicide and violence prevention} programs in schools. Call the reps NOW! ===

As we said in the last email, Thursday is where the rubber meets the road. The House will convene on Thursday to vote on overriding the budget items which Gov. Romney vetoed last Saturday. They will vote on whether to override his vetoes and give back the huge funding for {GLBT suicide, AIDS and violence prevention}.

We know that a lot of reps have gotten your calls. They need one more call from all of you RIGHT AWAY!


And here are the state reps YOU need to contact RIGHT NOW!
(Do something every day!)

HERE is the latest version of our "talking points". (We'll keep you up to date on EVERYTHING!)

Dear State Representative:

Last weekend Governor Romney vetoed a huge funding increase for {GLBT suicide, AIDS and violence prevention} in our public schools. He also vetoed a change in the General Laws that would create a new, independent homosexual youth "Commission" - all in the 2007 budget!

On Thursday, July 13, the Legislature will meet to override some of the vetoes.

YOU MUST override the vetoes of:

* Item # 4513-1130 (Dept. of Public Health)

* Item # 7010-0005 (Dept. of Education)

* Item # 4590-0250 (Dept. of Education)

* Section 4 (Permanent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth)


The first three items would give a huge funding increase for {GLBT suicide, AIDS and violence prevention} in the public schools. There is only $250,000 being funded for these programs.

The anti-gay bigots say, "Do not be fooled by the labels of 'suicide and violence prevention.'"

We know what their real agenda is-- the anti-gay bigots want to encourage gay youth suicide.

Section 4 changes the General Laws to create a second "Commission" hand-picked by GLBT civil rights activists, to oversee the spending of money in schools for {GLBT suicide, AIDS and violence prevention}

ACCORDING TO BRIAN, "In Massachusetts, anything labeled 'youth suicide prevention' is always a homosexual program in disguise. No one else is ever interested in youth suicide issues because it is not really a problem in the schools. In fact, there is no youth suicide 'epidemic' in Massachusetts."

Please do the right thing for parents and children - DO NOT CAVE-IN TO THE MURDEROUS RIGHT-WING BIGOTED AGENDA! THEY ARE CONSERVATIVES WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE!

1. Please don't insult Maoists.
The Christian fascists and the Maoists have nothing in common.

2. I don't mean to insult Maoists. But Brian is (or was) a devoted Maoist
He also used to (or does) hang-out in gay bars with gay people.

Oh, and he's not Christian. He's actually Jewish.

Brian claimed in an interview that he learned to speak Chinese just so he could study Mao in his original language.

Personally, I think he really did it so he could meet Chinese guys.

3. oh great. A rice queen.
:hide:

And on that note my straight Asian coworker just asked me why there are so many White/Asian couples but you never see any Asian/Asian couples even in big Americans cities like LA. He said is it because "white" guys have a thing for asians? I responded, no, B, it's because asians have a thing for cock-asians.

He flung a koosh at me and chased me out of his office.
