Today's Cultural Warfare Update

Wow, it's almost down to their traditional norms! I guess they wore themselves out earlier in the week. Or they've just gotten all their pieces into place for now and don't want to burn out the membership - they've got that 18-month timeline and all that, and this is only month one. But, here we go:

* Thursday's Family News in Focus relays an action item to flood Connecticut legislators with anti-civil-unions calls;

* Focus on the Family article on "pro-family" congressional legislation - judges, judges, "indecency" legislation, nibbling on the edges of abortion rights, and the Federal Marrage Amendment - includes action item;

* Today's Family News in Focus - no specific action item;

* Concerned Women for America scare-article on "The Homosexualists' Plan for Public Schools" - there are extensive quotes, but note that almost none of them are from an actual book that they're trashing, which appears to be on nondiscrimination policy in public school - most of them are from Robert Knight, CWA flak, interleaved with a tiny number of actual quotes. Knight's quotes are much scarier and are supposed to be paraphrases - the intent is clearly to make the source much scarier than it actually is - includes action item;

* Anti-gay "reparative therapist" Dr. Warren Throckmorton dropped by Magellan Health Services over his anti-gay activities; blames "gay activists." No action item.
