Preserve the BSA's Exclusion of Open or Avowed Homosexuals
The homosexual community is seeking to change the policy of the Boy Scouts of America which currently excludes membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals. It was in 2000 that the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the organization is private, and it is allowed to bar homosexuals from being troop leaders. Please sign this petition to keep the current policy which is:
"While the BSA does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA."

I was a Life Scout as a boy and now am a Scouter with two sons in Cub Scouts. Our family is committed to Scouting because of its commitment to character-building consistent with our moral values.
Homosexuality is incompatible with the Scout Oath and Law, and should not be presented to impressionable young boys as a morally acceptable alternative lifestyle. As a private organization, BSA should stand firm on our 1st Amendment right to hold a moral viewpoint that differs from those of the gay rights lobby. BSA should not surrender its long-held moral principles in the face of a well-orchestrated corporate bullying campaign. Surrendering in the face of opposition by gay rights activists will cause BSA to lose more members than it would gain.
A Scout is brave.

Well, today, just like everyday, I read the daily posts and areclits about yet another impeachable action made by Obammy boy and his crew. I am just one of the millions and millions of other patriotic Americans who sit here shaking my head in disbelief that Obammy boy is still occuping the White House.What is wrong with this picture? It is really getting sicking, this day after day, assult and exposure of the criminals at work in our political system and yet nothing changes, no charges are brought up, no impeachment, no trial for treason . nothing, and the beat goes on! Is it not up to our politicans, the ones we elected, to solve and or end the daily circus of wrong events, all illegal in moral, logical, and order of law? I think the time has come for we the people to stand up to these misfits. Yes it is TIME to organize our own Egypt and Madison. We need to take the law in our own hands since our elected politicans refuse to take action. Any ideas on how we start would be appreciated.

We must seriously study altnreate scenarios in order to rationally deal with our problems. We neglect this activity at our extreme peril. E.g., America did not discuss a scenario what would happen if the Egyptian people revolted, and so were caught by surprise. The Israelis did discuss this scenario. With talk about a government shutdown, we must discuss this scenario. We expect the news media, pundits, as well as national leaders to seriously discuss it. Here are a few thoughts. As soon as the government is shutdown, the states AZ, CA, TX, LA and others will commence drilling for oil and gas, in defiance of government regulations. People will start making good money, and lot of us will have high-paying jobs. The price of gas will drop in half, to $1.50/gallon. Then after the shutdown, the government will not be able to stop the drilling, for these oil people are much tougher than teachers are and will fight. Let us look at another situation. The government will be unable to issue orders to the military. Therefore, the military will simply sit there, and do nothing except defend themselves. Self-defense does not require permission from the central government. Now imagine some bad guys setting off an explosive killing some of our soldiers. We then will respond in self-defense, wiping out the entire neighborhood. The Russians taught the pirates this lesson, and so the pirates do not bother Russians. Our situation is similar to the decade preceding the adoption of the Constitution. The situation then was unacceptable, and so the leaders of the states met and created the Constitution. We need to repeat this. Article V of the Constitution gives the states the right to meet to amend the Constitution without waiting for Congress. Our situation is untenable, and we cannot wait until 2012. During the shutdown, the states should meet in accordance with Article V.

Please stand your ground on this issue. Why place young boys in potential harm? If you change this policy you will forever change Scouting and will jeopardize its future!!
