Here is the full text of the letter:
December 16th, 2009
Dear Senator,
The protection of children is one goal that we can all agree on.
And presumably, it is the motivating mission behind the Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. But the innocence of our children is threatened by the appointment of Kevin Jennings as Deputy Assistant Secretary of that office. Through his actions and statements, Mr. Jennings has shown that he cannot be trusted with this position and should be removed from it as soon as possible.
As head of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Mr. Jennings is on record as promoting liberal sex education and homosexual themes to children as early as Kindergarten.
Now, additional information comes to light regarding Mr. Jenning’s association with GLSEN “Fistgate” Conferences, encouraging extreme sexual practices in children as young as 14. After objections were raised to that matter, Mr. Jennings announced that GLSEN presentations and presenters would be more closely monitored. But then, the following such conference included the handing out of “Fisting Kits” to children. The descriptions of the use of these kits are beyond imagination. To endorse this behavior, much less promote it, is unforgivable.
Kevin Jennings must not be allowed to continue to endanger our children.
The undersigned individuals and organizations ask the Senate Education Committee, its members and every individual Senator to demand Kevin Jennings’ resignation immediately. Our children must be protected from the extreme and dangerous practices advocated by Kevin Jennings and the organizations he has represented.
Respectfully,
Andy Blom

 American Principles Project calls on Senate committee to reject activist EEOC nominee
Chai Feldblum's program of radical social change has no place in America's workplacesWASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, American Principles in Action urged concerned Americans to contact their Senators over the impending confirmation of Chai Feldblum to a five year post on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
"Chai Feldblum will use her position at the EEOC to pursue an extremist agenda that is out of step with the majority of Americans," stated Andy Blom, Executive Director of American Principles in Action. "Her bias and program of radical social change will lead to the targeted government harassment of religious institutions and anyone who doesn't subscribe to her Leftist Relativist 'values'."
Feldblum, a self-described "legislative lawyer" and "equality scholar" is in favor of granting legal and government recognition to gay marriage as well as polyamorous relationships (those involving three or more sexual partners). She has repeatedly stated her belief that such relationships should be treated equally with traditional marriage between one man and one woman. Regarding the place of the EEOC in penalizing individuals and organizations that do not follow her interpretation of discrimination, Feldblum has said, "Once a religious person or institution enters the stream of commerce by operating an enterprise such as a doctor's office, hospital, bookstore, hotel, treatment center, and so on, I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity." The EEOC does have the power to pursue such penalties against religious organization, as in the recent controversy at Belmont Abbey College, where the EEOC issued a letter charging the College with discrimination for adhering to its religious teachings on contraception. The situation is still being disputed. "Chai Feldblum has made it clear that she plans to change the American workforce to reflect her vision of society," continued Mr. Blom. "If Feldblum is confirmed as an EEOC Commissioner, many of our most cherished institutions--religious or otherwise--may find themselves under attack from an intolerant ideologue who plans to use her position to pursue a political agenda with no respect for our tradition, culture, or principles. This nomination is bad for our basic freedoms and it is bad for business." "We urge concerned Americans to visit http://www.americanprinciplesinaction.org today to contact their Senators (and the Committee hearing her nomination) and let them know that Feldbum should not be confirmed. Citizens are also encouraged to visit http://www.americanprinciplesproject.org for regular updates and more information on Chai Feldblum's plans for America's workplaces." "American Principles in Action is a non-profit 501c4 organization dedicated to preserving and propagating the fundamental principles on which our country was founded--universal principles, embracing the notion that we are all, 'created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' Through our efforts, we hope to return our nation to an understanding that governance via these timeless principles will only strengthen us as a country."

Chai Feldblum, President
Obama's nominee to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),
wants to use the government to promote every type of relationship as
equal to traditional marriage, including "polyamorous" relationships
(involving three or more sexual partners).
She intendes to use her
position of influence as EEOC commissioner to force private
institutions to follow her radical vision of society, through the
enforcement of aggressive and intrusive employment non-discrimination
laws.

TO: Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, John Kerry (Chairman) and Richard Lugar (Ranking member) Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, Joseph Lieberman (Chairman) and Susan Collins (Ranking member) House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Howard Berman (Chairman) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Ranking member) House Committee on Homeland Security, Bennie Thompson (Chairman) and Peter King (Ranking member) RE: Lockerbie Terrorist Release Transparency Like millions of our fellow citizens, we were stunned and appalled by the decision of the governments of Scotland and the United Kingdom to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Libyan terrorist convicted of 270 counts of murder for his part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on 21 December 1988. 180 Americans were killed in that tragedy and their families and friends miss and mourn them every day. U.K. Justice Minister Jack Straw has admitted that commercial considerations “played a very large role” in the decision to release al-Megrahi. We write to express our deep concern about the United States government’s contacts with the Scottish and U.K. governments prior to the release of al-Megrahi. What was the U.S. administration told about the planned release? What efforts, if any, did President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, and other U.S. officials make to prevent this outrageous injustice? |
