This one will be brief. I just received my American Family Association action alert requesting that I take a poll ( not a
pole you dirty minded reprobates!! [although that gives me some ideas for later, hmmm]). It seems that somewhere in the country, the powers that be want to change the letters AD, as in April 18th 2006 AD to CE and this bugs them.
Anything that bugs them has to be good so I would request that we get a bunch of Kossaks to freep this poll. It requires that you give your name, email and zip. I do it just to keep an eye on the hate mongers over in Tupelo. In case you thought they might be rational, I'll cut and paste a list of accomplishments that they claim to have achieved below the fold.
Has AFA Made an Impact?
The impact of AFA is recognized nationwide. Don Wildmon and other AFA personnel have appeared on programs such as Good Morning America, The Today Show, MacNeill Lehrer Report, Nightline, The 700 Club, Meet the Press, Crossfire, and Focus on the Family. AFA is a long-time member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
Disney/ABC cancels the pro-homosexual show Ellen, for "lack of ratings." AFA led the campaign to encourage responsible advertisers to drop from the show.
Nevermind that she has a
new show.
AFA and other pro-family groups sponsored a rally in support of Judge Roy Moore of Alabama who refused to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom.
And that helped him keep his seat on the Supreme Court of Alabama how exactly?
AFA leads the effort to clean up Howard Stern Radio Show. To date, over 2/3rds off all advertisers dropped from the show in monitored areas.
Sure they did, sure they did.
AFA promotes Pornography Awareness Week
OK, that one, I wouldn't be bragging about. gigglesnort!
AFA distributes 400,000 copies of the the "Fight Back Book," a comprehensive resource guide of TV advertisers, products and addresses.
And 400,000 families had fresh kindling forthe fireplace.
AFA supports and promotes Shatter the Silence, a national observance to bring attention to religious persecution throughout the world.
They are such victims.
AFA leads efforts to expose abuses of tax dollars by National Endowment for the Arts.
Not only are they victims but they're leaders. Much like our President, completely ineffective.
The 43 Federal Prisons removed porn magazines from their commissaries after efforts by AFA supporters.
The Southland Corporation, owners and franchisers of the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, along with 30,000 other convenience stores pulled porn magazines from shelves after intensive boycotting and picketing by AFA.
In 1994, AFA launched a "war on divorce," by helping develop and distribute the Marriage Savers video series.
AFA has promoted successful boycotts of several national advertisers because they were leading sponsors of TV sex, violence and profanity. Because of the boycotts, some companies - including Burger King, Clorox and S. C. Johnson - have changed their advertising policies.
blah blah blah
We have to keep this fringe group maginalized. Please Freep that poll.
