To: Friends and Supporters From: Gary L. Bauer, Chairman Campaign for Working Families Date: Thursday, October 5, 2006 COUNTDOWN FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS: 33 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY [Due to the political nature of this message, you are receiving a special report from my political action committee, Campaign for Working Families. We may send you messages from CWF in the days ahead if we feel there is an urgent need.] More Ugliness To Come In the decades I have spent in Washington “fighting the good fight,” I don’t think I have ever seen politics sink to this cesspool level. It is becoming clearer by the day that a cadre of leftwing “hit men” and “slash and burn” organizations intend to destroy the Republican Party, the pro- family movement and anyone who stands in their way of getting power this November. The Foley scandal was round one. In spite of his immediate resignation when his perverted behavior was uncovered, the Left, with the help of their big media allies, have managed to dominate the airwaves for a full week of attacks on Republicans in Congress. Some good conservatives believe that if Speaker Hastert would just resign too, the controversy would end. Nothing could be further from reality. New attacks are being planned – regardless of what Hastert does. Homosexual rights groups have compiled a “target list” of GOP congressmen and Capitol Hill staffers who they claim are hiding their homosexual orientation. These leftwing activists intend to release this list sometime soon to destroy political careers and in the hope that millions of pro- family voters will stay home on Election Day, thus delivering the House and Senate to the party of Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton and Barney Frank. (As an aside, these are the same leftwing groups that claim Al Qaeda suspects have a right to privacy when it comes to wire taps, but they are willing to “out” closeted homosexuals for political gain.) This isn’t the first time there has been an effort to use the “gay issue” by the Democrat Party in an effort to drive religious voters out of politics. In the last presidential debate in 2004, John Kerry mentioned Vice President Cheney’s daughter in one of his answers, in effect announcing on national television her sexual orientation. Why did he do it? Because Kerry and his operatives believed most conservative Christians did not know about her sexual orientation, so he “outed” her in front of a national audience. The audience gasped, the pundits said he crossed a line, and the tactic was widely seen as backfiring. They tried it again in 2005 against President Bush’s first nominee to the Supreme Court, John Roberts. The media released stories that Roberts had worked on a case that was a major high court victory for the homosexual rights movement. Only later did we learn that Roberts merely volunteer to play the part of a “Scalia-like” justice for a few hours in a mock court setting. Here is the bigger picture. The Left is increasingly consumed by its hatred of all things conservative and religious. They despise the president and they despise you and me. I regularly go to leftwing websites to review the postings and what I read there is deeply disturbing. We are routinely called fascists, bigots, the Christian Taliban, and worse. Veiled threats of violence are not uncommon. These are the same people who believe that Bush stole the 2000 election, that the September 11th attack was directed by our own CIA, and that America is plotting to take over the world. They want same-sex “marriage” and are furious that every time the public votes on the issue, they lose and we win. They want abortion-on-demand and they know we are one Supreme Court justice away from ending it. Right now they smell “blood in the water,” and they believe they are on the verge of wresting control of Congress from conservatives. There is only one thing that stands in their way – You. That is why they have now unleashed a campaign to confuse and demoralize pro-family voters. Here’s the bottom line in my view. Yes, there is corruption in politics and there are people in both parties who have fallen prey to all the temptations of our sick culture. No party has a monopoly on virtue or vice. But if you want the country to move in the right direction on values issues there is a massive difference between the two parties. One is operationally pro-life; the other is pro-abortion. One wants marriage to remain the union of one man and one woman; the other is “in bed” with the militant homosexual rights movement. One defends the Boy Scouts, the Salvation Army, and other traditional groups; while the other stands with the ACLU, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, MoveOn.Org, and the radical Left. One party understands the war we are in; the other is still in denial about Islamofascism. Daggers Toward Us Today, a leftwing hit group called CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed a freedom of information request demanding to know how often and when I and other pro-family leaders, like Jim Dobson and Tony Perkins, have been included in meetings at the White House. Apparently it is now considered suspicious to the Left for a Christian to even talk to the executive branch of our government! The group is reportedly funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros, who spent millions of dollars trying to destroy President Bush in 2004. You may recall that I mentioned in my report on Tuesday that CREW has played a key role in the Foley scandal, having had knowledge of his communications with House pages for several months. What You Can Do As the public debate in our country becomes more vicious and destructive, please pray for us here speaking up for you that we may be clear thinking and strong as we defend family and faith. Pray for our nation to survive this destructive brand of politics. In addition, please consider stepping up your financial support. We are regularly being “out gunned” by the Left and we need your help, particularly in the last days of this crucial campaign.
