Bring Back Phil Robertson to Duck Dynasty
DEMAND FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR DUCK DYNASTY AND ALL CHRISTIANS
Updates
December 20, 2013
The committee has received our formal request for consideration regarding the leadership dinner speaker. We are currently awaiting a response from the administration while the momentum on this proposal continues to grow.
December 20, 2013
The momentum behind this request is heartening and reflects a shared interest in seeing Phil Robertson lead our upcoming dinner. This level of interest demonstrates that many others find his professional and personal background compelling for the Florida College community.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and according to our constitution we also have freedom of speech. I'm not against the Gay community, I love everyone just as us Christians do, but offense is part of freedom of speech. There is no reason to suspend Mr. Robertson for any comments he made, and if that is the case we also get offended by some of these shows that my kids come across while watching TV displaying Homosexuality. I prefer my kids not understanding what that is or that it's "ok."
My Bible, the KJV version states exactly with what Mr. Phil stated. It says that certain things are an "abomination", homosexuality being only one of them as Mr. Phil explained . Myself, as with Phil, we're to "hate the sin", not the sinner. We do that through God's Amazing Grace! As a professing Christian, I love the standards that the family exhibits on the show, especially Phil. It is a breath of fresh air to have a show that shows the love of family and God, not drugs, sex, violence and other things that the secular society enjoys.
I stand with Phil Robertson and his family. Christian people know he loves everyone, and we know what he meant and what he said. Others can make like he was being wrong, but again: Phil loves all people!!!!!!!
I support Phil Roberson's Christian values and his right to freedom of speech. Gays are going to have to face it. Not everyone is going to agree with or support their lifestyle. You can;t make people support it either. If you are gay and that's the life you choose then get over it! People are going to have their opinion about it. If someone don't agree with a gay persons lifestyles it doesn't mean they are hate mongers. If you have a problem with someone voicing their belief, maybe you should check your soul, could be you may feel conviction!
Preach it Phil
not for or against anybody but I do support our freedom of speech and hate all this politically correctness crap
Dear A&E Network, I am writing to you regarding your network’s intolerant, discriminatory, and punitive treatment of Mr. Phil Robertson, star of A&E’s #1 hit show, Duck Dynasty. Mr. Robertson’s comments in GQ Magazine are simply reflective of a Biblical view of sexuality, marriage, and family – a view that has stood the test of time for thousands of years and continues to be held by the majority of Americans and today’s world as a whole. Many members of the LGBT community may not agree with this view, but the notion that a free-thinking American should be discriminated against simply for expressing a perspective that is in conflict with another is patently un-American and flies in the face of true tolerance and civility. A&E’s position, which in your own words is “championing” the gay and lesbian community — which I believe you have the freedom to do — excludes the views of Faith Driven Consumers and effectively censors a legitimate viewpoint held by the majority of Americans. As a Faith Driven Consumer, I am signing this petition to demand that my views be treated with equality and respect in America’s rich rainbow of diversity. I am asking your network to immediately reinstate Mr. Robertson to Duck Dynasty, and to formally apologize to him, his family, and the millions of viewers who tune in every week, stand by him, and share his worldview. While the LGBT community may be offended by his opposing viewpoint, your rash, discriminatory, and unfair treatment toward Mr. Robertson — a recognized symbol of the faith community — is a slap in the face to Faith Driven Consumers and everyday Americans alike. There are 46 million Faith Driven Consumers in America today who spend 1.75 trillion dollars annually. Should you refuse to equally respect and welcome our legitimately held views, we will gladly stop watching this and all other A&E programming and turn to any reformulation of Duck Dynasty on another network – while simultaneously supporting brands tha

Phil Robertson spoke his opinions. People shouldn't persecute him just because his opinion and beliefs are different then theirs. Since when has the freedom of speech been taken away for this nation. It's part of our rights.first amendment of the constitution of the united states. Look it up people.
