Alan Keyes needs your assistance. His candidacy is being "attacked by the homosexual lobby."
He's making a move as he runs a whopping 23% to Barack Obama's 68%. I smell the flopsweat...
From the Alan Keyes for U.S. Senate web site:
Dear Friends:
Can I count on you to stand with me in defense of traditional marriage?
I am under fierce attack from the homosexual lobby and their "same-sex marriage" allies in the press, and I need your prayers -- and your help:

Let me explain what is happening.
If you have been following the news lately, you may have seen that militant homosexuals, certain pro-homosexual media outlets and commentators, and even a few weak-kneed Republicans (who should know better) have been attacking me relentlessly because of some remarks I made -- and some I "reportedly" made -- during a radio interview about "homosexual marriage."
Before I go any further, let me show you the quote that has them so enraged: "The essence of ... family life remains procreation. If we embrace homosexuality as a proper basis for marriage, we are saying that it's possible to have a marriage state that in principle excludes procreation and is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism."
This is what I believe. This is what you believe. And this is what I have said for years. Our Creator designed the Institution of Marriage to be between a man and a woman. Nothing any human court, any legislature, or any special interest group can say or do will ever change that natural reality.
I make no apologies for my position -- which, not coincidentally, is the position of the Republican Party Platform drafted by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and approved by President Bush -- and I will not surrender one inch of ground to those who are attacking this sacred institution. You would expect nothing less of me.
It goes on...and on...but I'll stop with this gem:

And please make no mistake... this is an assault on all of us who hold to deep beliefs, moral absolutes, tenents of faith, and the rigors of sound reasoning.
Let me tell you plainly what the goal is of the homosexual lobby and its advocates in the press while they attack me... and what is at stake in the bigger picture.
First, the left-wingers are hoping to isolate me; they have been acting for years to make homosexual behavior "mainstream" and to viciously denounce and falsely caricature all who stand in their way. They are now trying to get rank-and-file Republicans and members of the GOP establishment to walk away from my candidacy and abandon me, because I am a man of conviction, and because I have the courage to say what I believe.
They do not want me in the Senate! The very thought of me debating and working on the Senate floor for the issues you and I hold dear, horrifies them!
