Democrats Push Anti-Military, Pro-Gay, Pro-Abortion Bill Next Week! Urgent action is needed to block the Democrat's effort to undermine our Armed Forces! Democrats are willing to destabilize the military in an attempt to gain votes this November. The Senate has scheduled a vote on the National Defense Authorization Bill this Tuesday. This bill contains language that:

Imposes open homosexuality on the U.S. military by overturning the 1993 law banning on homosexuality. This puts conservatives in a bind who want to support our national defense, but don't want to vote to overturn the ban.
Requires military hospitals to perform abortions.
Gives amnesty to children of illegal immigrants through the Dream Act.

   Amnesty and abortion have nothing to do with funding our national defense!   They should be vigorously debated at another time.   These are not relevant for a defense bill.   The main goal is to appease LGBT activists, open borders, and abortion industry supporters as a way of bolstering election outcomes.
   Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has even joined forces with the weirdo pop singer Lady Gaga, to push for gays in the military. He recently tweeted Lady Gaga telling her that he views this pro-LGBT defense bill as an important vote before the mid-term election recess.
   This effort is being pushed in spite of the fact that Congress gave the Pentagon the task of studying how lifting the ban on gays will impact military readiness. The Pentagon is expected to issue its report in December.
   Remember: There is no "right" to serve in the military. It is a privilege and the military has the duty to establish certain requirements for service. There has certainly never been any "right" of soldiers to engage in homosexual behaviors in the U.S. military.
   This legislation is dangerous to military morale, readiness and unit cohesion. Here are some of the negative results that Democrats ignore:

A zero-tolerance policy will force straight soldiers out of the service or push them into silence. For decades, openly serving gays, lesbians and bisexuals were justly considered a threat to unit cohesion, morale and military effectiveness. They still do.
Careers will be destroyed and promotions denied to individuals who object to homosexual conduct.
Chaplains will be forbidden to preach from the Bible on homosexual conduct.
Our military readiness will be diminished if the 1993 law is abolished.

   Lt. General Thomas Bostick , who is the deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters for the Army, admitted that if the gay ban is overturned, anyone who opposes homosexuals will be considered the same as a racist or a bigot – and will be ejected from the military if they can't "get with the program"! He claimed that individuals who object to gays on moral or religious grounds are racists!   Bostick and others will enforce a zero tolerance policy against any criticism of gay conduct!
   Keep in mind that 1,167 retired General and Flag officers have signed a statement opposing lifting the ban on homosexuals openly serving in the military! Their views should count! Sen. McCain plans to lead a filibuster and only needs 41 votes to stop this assault on our military . The LGBT/abortion supporters, however, need 60 votes to overcome McCain's objection!   Your Senators need to be encouraged to vote with Sen. McCain next week.
   The Senate could adjourn as early as October 1, so if we can block Reid's attack on our Armed Forces until then, we may have won!   But… Time is short if we are to make a difference!   You can help us right now by sending a letter of concern to your two U.S. Senators – asking them to vote against repeal of the 1993 gays in the military law and against funding abortion in military hospitals! And, please forward your letter to as many of your friends and associates as you can! And, send your letter today!
