Right wing forms "Military Culture Commission" in order to influence the military
Edited on Wed Feb-17-10 04:12 PM by ck4829
Let's see, they oppose Obama's policies against terrorists ("If you're not torturing... eh, enhanced interrogating people, than you're not doing it right!") and the plan to repeal DADT (Which is moving slower than my pet slug) has got them in full panic mode. Yep, this sounds kind of like they're setting up a junta or something.

The MCC is:

* Elaine Donnelly, President, Center for Military Readiness
* Tom Minnery, Vice President, Public Policy, Focus on the Family
* Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
* Frank Gaffney, President, Center for Security Policy
* David Keene, President, American Conservative Union
* Penny Nance, CEO, Concerned Women for America
* Matthew Staver, Dean, Liberty University School of Law
* Jordan W. Lorence, Senior Counsel, Alliance Defense Fund
* Adm. James A. “Ace” Lyons, USN (Ret.), Flag & General Officers for the Military

Leaders from other prominent organizations, such as Eagle Forum, Let Freedom Ring, the American Family Association, Traditional Values Coalition, and Tradition, Values & Property (partial list) are lending support to the Military Culture Coalition, an informal network of individuals and organizations who support the 1993 law regarding homosexuals in the military (Section 654, Title 10, U.S.C.).
