A Connecticut man has been sentenced to five years probation by a federal judge for mailing death threats to the leader of a pro-family group in that state.Homosexual activist Daniel Sarno plead guilty last August to two counts of mailing threatening communications to Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut.Sarno admitted sending Wolfgang a continuing series of hate mail involving over 300 letters.  One said:  "I sure hope somebody blows you away.  Yer dead."Another read:  "No mercy for homophobes.  I suggest you make your funeral arrangements real soon.  Are 'family values' worth dying for?"Sarno made clear in his letters he was sending the death threats because of the group's support for the preservation of the institution of marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

The National Organization for Marriage has joined the call for Congressional scrutiny of the Internal Revenue Service following revelations of a concerted campaign by IRS officials to harass conservative and Christian organizations. NOM President Brian Brown is renewing his demand that investigators determine who leaked confidential information concerning the pro-marriage group's donor list. The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's leading organization promoting the homosexual agenda, obtained copies of documents listing NOM's contributors last year.  The only place HRC could have secured the documents is from the IRS. HRC has been known to publicly harass and intimidate pro family donors into withholding contributions.

On Monday Vermont became the fourth state in the country to allow doctors to kill their patients.Governor Peter Shumlin signed the measure in a state House ceremony in Montpelier, capping a decade-long effort on the issue in Vermont.Vermont is the first state to pass such a law through the legislative process. Oregon and Washington enacted their laws by referendum; in Montana, it was legalized by the courts.The law, which went into effect Monday, allows for an end-of-life procedure with the consent of a patient’s doctor after the patient has made more than one request for help in ending life. The bill also stipulates that the patient has a chance to retract the request.Under the bill, a qualifying patient must be at least 18 years old, a Vermont resident and suffering from an “incurable and irreversible disease.” Family Policy Network, Inc. no 56 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://familypolicy.net/?powerpress_embed=17831-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17828 http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17828#comments Tue, 21 May 2013 05:57:06 +0000 FPN Perspective http://familypolicy.net/?p=17828 Continue Reading →]]> http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17828/feed 0 A Christian law firm that defends religious freedom and the Constitution finds it suspicious that President Obama opposes an independent counsel dealing with the Internal Revenue Service scandal.Hearings continued on Capitol Hill as lawmakers strive to... A Christian law firm that defends religious freedom and the Constitution finds it suspicious that President Obama opposes an independent counsel dealing with the Internal Revenue Service scandal.Hearings continued on Capitol Hill as lawmakers strive to get answers about why the IRS singled out tea party groups and other conservative organizations for additional reviews during last year's presidential election season.
Jordan Sekulow is executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice, which represents 27 tea party organizations who were targeted. He says it is ridiculous that IRS officials continue to claim that they were not politically motivated to strictly audit the conservative groups to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.

Hundreds of Christian students in an Oklahoma town have decided to fight back against a national association of atheists and agnostics who say they want displays of the Ten Commandments removed from local public schools. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, an organization that targets displays of Christian faith in schools, told school district superintendent Ron Flanagan that the Ten Commandment “plaques” that are posted in some of the classrooms at Muldrow High School should be removed. Students have decided to defend the plaques by launching petitions and raising awareness on social networking sites. In addition, the local interfaith ministerial association printed 1,000 t-shirts portraying the Ten Commandments, and many students plan to wear the shirts to school.

IRS officials refused to grant tax-exempt status to two pro-life organizations because of their position on the abortion issue. That’s according to a non-profit law firm, which said that one group was pressured not to protest a pro-choice organization that endorsed President Obama during the last election.The Thomas More Society said in one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax-exempt status for the Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to the group’s leaders back in 2009 the IRS agent told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under the threat of perjury, they would not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood. The agent reportedly added, “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.” Family Policy Network, Inc. no 59 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://familypolicy.net/?powerpress_embed=17821-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17814 http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17814#comments Thu, 16 May 2013 05:00:31 +0000 FPN Perspective http://familypolicy.net/?p=17814 Continue Reading →]]> http://familypolicy.net/perspective/?p=17814/feed 0 Homosexual activists are celebrating three more victories this month, as lawmakers in Delaware, Rhode Island and Minnesota approved measures to grant "marriage" licenses to same-sex couples.Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Homosexual activists are celebrating three more victories this month, as lawmakers in Delaware, Rhode Island and Minnesota approved measures to grant "marriage" licenses to same-sex couples.Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Washington State and the District of Columbia already allow same sex marriage.Meanwhile, thirty states, including North Carolina, have approved constitutional amendments preserving marriage as only between one man and one woman.
