Rep. Greene Declares the Truth About Sex, Gets Four Times the Views on Twitter Compared to Indoctrinated Child-Abusing Mother Marie Newman

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is making waves again in Congress.


Her Congressional colleague Marie Newman tried to provoke Rep. Greene with a transgender flag placed outside of her Congressional office.

Rep. Greene pushed back, and put up a great sign:

This is the kind of boldness we need to see in Congress.

It's time to stand for truth!

And Rep. Marie Newman should be in a jail cell for abusing her SON and allowing, enabling him to be pretend to be a girl.

MassResistance Fighting to Stop the Equality Act!


Hey MassResistance Activists and Allies:

We are all working very hard to stop The Equality Act, which is all about granting special privileges to sexual deviance and perversion.

Everyone of our chapter leaders has their lists of contacts.


Check out this link, and you will find the contact information for every current House Rep.


Click here.


Contact as many House Reps as you can, and tell them any or all of the following reasons why they must REJECT the Equality Act:





There is a terrible bill working its way through Congress right now. It’s called
the “Equality Act” (HR 5), and it’s anything but about equality.

 It’s about special rights for the Destructive LGBT Agenda!

Authored by openly homosexual Congressman David Cicilline (D-Rhode Island), this legislation aims to “expand” the Civil Rights Act and its protections to include homosexuals, transgenders, and individuals who identify with other paraphilias.

This legislation is nothing more than a Trojan Horse to stamp out our God-Given rights, enshrined in the United States Constitution. It’s an attack on life, the family, and our society as a whole.

If this bill passes and gets signed into law, these are some of the terrible outcomes that will follow:

1.      This bill will undermine the Civil Rights Movement which black Americans fought for.

2.      Churches will get sued or lose their tax-exemption status if they do not accommodate LGBT behaviors.

3.      Children would be forced to learn about destructive LGBT behaviors in public schools. Parents who try to oppose this curriculum could be charged with illegal discrimination.

4.      Private colleges would lose funding, the power to issue grants and scholarships.

5.      Public accommodations and small businesses would be forced to allow men into women’s bathrooms and vice versa.

6.      Business owners would be forced to violate their freedom of conscience.

7.      Hospitals and clinics will be force to offer experimental and harmful transgender treatments.

8.      Foster and adoption agencies with traditional values will lose the opportunity to place children.


If a House Rep's office asks you where you are calling from, you do not have to tell them. It's OK. The fact that they are getting lots of calls means that they need to pay attention.


Just keep calling the House Reps. Don't worry about email addresses.


If you have finished your assigned list, I encourage you to contact any of the 45 Democratic Congressmen from vulnerable districts:


https://cdn-m4m.chd01.com/pro/uploads/account_2111/1184/45_smallest_prsnt.pdf


Choose any five, or call all of them if you want! They are going to face redistricting next year, and that means they could lose their seat!





Here is the final vote tally for the Equality Act in 2019:


https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/116-2019/h217


These are the Republicans who voted FOR the Equality Act in 2019, who are still in Congress. We need to go after them:


FL 25th   R   Diaz-Balart, Mario
NY 21st   R   Stefanik, Elise
NY 23rd   R   Reed, Tom
NY 24th   R   Katko, John
PA 1st   R   Fitzpatrick, Brian

Here are some Democrats who did NOT VOTE for the Equality Act in 2019 (who are still in Congress). We should urge them to vote NO or NOT VOTE:

CA 15th   D   Swalwell, Eric [surprise!]
MA 6th   D   Moulton, Seth [?]
No Vote MI 12th   D   Dingell, Debbie [Represents a Black District]
OH 13th   D   Ryan, Tim [working class]
SC 6th   D   Clyburn, Jim [Black]

The current partisan breakdown in Congress is 221 Dems, 211 GOP, 3 Vacancies https://pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/party-breakdown
Dems can only lose three votes to pass this bill. We need to keep the GOP together and target the above Democratic lawmakers.

Let's do this time! Stop the IN-Equality Act!

MassResistance Takes Aggressive Stance Against "The Equality Act"

MassResistance confronts Democrat Congressmen face-to-face on tyrannical LGBT “Equality Act”

Not relying on the usual pro-family lobbying strategy on this issue

Direct discussion with them revealed a lot!

May 22, 2019
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Linda Sanchez of CA was willing to sit down with us, but would not take a copy of our book, The Health Hazards of Homosexuality, which documents huge problems regarding the "Equality Act."
Again, MassResistance breaks the mold when it comes to fighting the culture war.
Last week the US House of Representatives passed Bill HR5, the tyrannical “Equality Act,” by a vote of 236 to 173. As we recently reported, it would radically re-write the nation’s Civil Rights Act to force the homosexual and transgender agendas into the lives of every citizen. And it’s being pushed by the national LGBT movement and much of Corporate America. It now goes to the US Senate.
ALT TEXTThis was the scene when the bill officially passed. At that point, several Reps stood up and applauded.
This vote was not unexpected. The US House is controlled by pro-LGBT Democrats who have become unbelievably radical. Every House Democrat was a co-sponsor of the bill except one (Daniel Lipinski of IL) – and he caved in at the end and supported it. Eight RINO Republicans also voted for it. (See the vote HERE.)

Before the vote: MassResistance talks with seven liberal Congressmen

During the weeks leading up to the vote, most pro-family groups put their efforts on pressuring House Republicans to stick together and try to stop it, though they are outnumbered.
But MassResistance decided to take a more aggressive approach. We focused on liberal Democrat Congressmen. And we personally engaged them on this issue! Our National Organization Director, Arthur Schaper, selected seven of the worst in California.
Arthur, along with some constituents, went to their Congressman’s local “town hall” or “coffee” events and confronted them face-to-face about their support for the hideous “Equality Act.” It wasn’t easy getting them to talk with him, yet he persisted.
ALT TEXTMost of these town hall events were full of liberal supporters, but this time local MassResistance people also showed up!
No other pro-family group does this. And of course, these were all left-wing Democrat politicians, so their local town hall events were full of their supporters and definitely “enemy territory” for conservatives.
ALT TEXTArthur Schaper, our national organization director, who also lives in California, is unafraid to take on the Left or engage liberal politicians on the issues.
Arthur told these Congressmen the hard truths and asked them the hard questions about this lunatic and oppressive legislation. He did his best to pull answers out of them, and in the end, only one of them (a former Republican turned Democrat) refused to say something.
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Karen Bass (Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus) at April 6 Town Hall in Vista Del Mar, CA, takes questions from Arthur.
ALT TEXTCongressman Lou Correa talked with Arthur at his April 22 Town Hall in Santa Ana, CA.
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Katie Hill (openly bisexual) at her April 27 Town Hall in Santa Clarita, CA. She was less hostile to our criticism on this issue than we expected, but still completely committed to the LGBT agenda.
ALT TEXTCongressman Mike Thompson at the same April 27 Town Hall in Santa Clarita, CA, reads the flyer on the Equality Act that Arthur (pointing) just handed to him.
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Katie Porter at May 4 Town Hall in Irvine, CA would not address Arthur's points at all, except to say "I'm proud to support the Equality Act."
ALT TEXTCongressman Harley Rouda (a former Republican who morphed into a liberal Democrat) also at the May 4 Town Hall in Irvine, CA, was afraid to even talk to Arther. He would look right at Arthur and quickly walk away. Arthur tried again outside the hall, and got the same treatment. Definitely the weirdest encounter of all.
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Linda Sanchez sat down and talked with Arthur at her May 11 Community Coffee in La Mirada, CA.

Here's what we learned from talking to them

What we learned is quite frightening, though not really surprising.
First of all, we don’t think that any of these Congressmen actually read the text of the bill. They all seemed to understand it in the vague sense of “anti-discrimination” (especially relating to employment). But when Arthur brought up specific aspects of it, such as how it will force women athletes to compete with “transgenders” who are actually men, or how it will outlaw certain therapy to help people leave homosexuality, he would just get a blank stare from them.
Second, many of them had obviously been given talking points by LGBT activists. Congressman Lou Correa told his town hall crowd that he came to his decision because “I closed my eyes and asked myself: In fifty years how will history judge us?” This is right out of the LGBT playbook.
Third, it’s clear that none of these Congressmen even cares what the bill actually says or what it would do to society. They just want to be part of the “progressives” and so they adopted that group-think. That was reflected by their unwillingness to actually discuss it on any rational level with Arthur (or anyone else there who tried). Nor were any of them interested in exploring any facts that contradicted the accepted narrative.
This complete disconnect from fact, logic, and real discussion is very dangerous and should be frightening to everyone. But this is the horrible state of American democracy today.
Nevertheless, we believe it's very important to engage to them directly, face-to-face, with real facts and real questions. They're certainly not going to hear it from anyone else around them!
ALT TEXTCongresswoman Karen Bass included the "Equality Act" in her slide show. The misleading caption: "Introduced to end discrimination against LGBTQ Americans and advance full equality in America."
ALT TEXTAt most of the town halls, members of the rabid hard-left "Indivisible" local chapters were also there. This woman recognized Arthur and came over to harass him. Of course, Arthur was not bothered a bit and dished it right back to her!

And more pressure from MassResistance activists around the country!

Also during the six weeks leading up to the vote, Arthur Schaper worked with activists in Tennessee, New Jersey, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Texas, South Carolina, Maryland, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, California, New York, Minnesota, and Virginia. We particularly tried to focus on freshmen Democrat Congressmen in swing districts.
People passed out flyers at their churches or on street corners. They worked to get large numbers of people to call and email their Congressmen with their outrage about this bill. People found these flyers to be very informative!
Here is a sample of the flyerspassed out at the town hall events and around the country. Our NINE POINTS of the dangers of the bill have been quoted in several media outlets.
We think that this at least made the Congressmen aware that their support for this bizarre legislation will not be forgotten at election time, next year. Yesterday, in fact, Wall Street Journal columnist James Freeman speculated that the Equality Bill passage by the US House could be “the sleeper issue of 2020” that could come back to haunt these Reps. Probably fearing some backlash, seven of the Democratic House Reps who co-sponsored it declined to actually vote on it! Those seven include three who are running for President: Seth Moulton, Tim Ryan, and Eric Swalwell.

On to the Senate

Since the Senate is controlled by Republicans and the bill is not being pushed by the leadership, it’s a different political situation. Obviously, a major concern is how the RINOs will react to the huge LGBT onslaught, and whether the leadership will cave.
On the other hand, it could die in committee. As we write this, the bill is in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is dominated by strong conservatives.
In any case, it’s a good idea now urge Senator Mitch McConnell and his leadership team to hold the line. Nothing can be taken for granted! Here are their contact forms:
Mitch McConnell (KY) - Senate Republican Leader
John Thune (SD) – Assistant Republican Leader
John Barrasso (WY) – Republican Conference Chairman
Joni Ernst (IA) – Vice Chairman of Senate Republican Conference
Roy Blunt (MO) – Republican Policy Committee Chairman
Todd Young (IN) – Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman
MassResistance will help step up the game on these seven squishy Republicans Senators if their leadership does agree to bring the bill up:
Burr (NC), Collins (ME), Graham (SC; he voted for Kagan on Supreme Ct), McSally (AZ), Murkowski (AK), Portman (OH; his son is openly homosexual), Romney (UT; “Father of Gay Marriage” in Mass.).
Sadly, we can’t trust that President Trump would veto this bill if passed by the Senate, especially if it were modified to take out a few of the “worst” parts..
We’ll keep you informed on all this!

Official Statement: Trump Opposes Equality Act!

AMEN TO THAT!
The Trump administration has come out AGAINST the Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Religious liberty and conservative groups warn the bill, if passed and signed into law, could have devastating effects on women’s rights and religious freedom. 

“The Trump administration absolutely opposes discrimination of any kind and supports the equal treatment of all; however, this bill in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights,” a senior administration official told the Washington Blade and several other media outlets.

The Equality Act (H.R. 5) would amend federal laws to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in public accommodations and facilities, education, federal funding, employment, housing, credit and the jury system. Among the amended laws would be the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act.

The Equality Act, ADF says, would infringe on the rights of Christian business owners, churches and adoption agencies.

It would “threaten individuals, business owners, and non-profit organizations” by “forcing them to express messages or promote events that violate their deeply held religious convictions,” Kramer wrote. 



It would prohibit churches and religious nonprofits “from requiring their employees to live out their religious beliefs about marriage, sexual morality, and the distinction between the sexes.”

“[Churches] would be required to open their sex-specific facilities to members of the opposite sex. For one Massachusetts church, that would mean it would have to open its women’s shelter for victims of domestic violence to biological males,” she wrote.

The Equality Act would “threaten religious foster care and adoption agencies with closure if they operate according to their beliefs that the best place for a child is a home with a married mother and father.”

It also would harm women’s sports, Kramer wrote, by allowing “male athletes who identify as female to compete in women’s and girls’ athletic competitions.”

“At a Connecticut state track meet, two biological males identifying as girls beat out the female competitors in several events, taking first and second place,” Kramer wrote. “... In Alaska, the same happened – a biological male competed as a girl at the state championship and won.”

Even supporters of the Equality Act are warning women’s sports are in danger. Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross wrote a Washington Post editorial saying the bill “would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose.” 



“The evidence is unequivocal that starting in puberty, in every sport except sailing, shooting and riding, there will always be significant numbers of boys and men who would beat the best girls and women in head-to-head competition,” the three women asserted. “Claims to the contrary are simply a denial of science.”

An Open Letter from Evangelical and Christian leaders on H.R. 5, the Equality Act

Dear Congressional Leaders:

As those tasked with the leadership of the church, and as those seeking to humbly convey
Biblical truth for the benefit of every man, woman, and child in society, we the undersigned
cannot remain silent concerning a dangerous bill pending in Congress known as the Equality Act
(H.R. 5). Not only is it incompatible with God’s Word (the Bible) and the historic teaching of the
church, but the Equality Act is also riddled with threats to religious liberty and the sanctity of
human life. For these reasons, we must state that we adamantly oppose this proposed legislation.
First, the ideology enshrined in the Equality Act—which falsely equates one’s sexual conduct
with immutable characteristics like skin color and ethnicity—is a falsehood that openly
contradicts the scriptural mandates we were given for our good (1 Thess. 4:3-8). We cannot
remain silent and allow this lie to harm countless men, women, and children—whether in this or
any other legislation. Passage of this coercive measure would lay the groundwork for this lie to
enter classrooms across the nation, as public educators could be compelled to teach it to their
students. No family would be safe from the long reach of the Equality Act.

Second, the Equality Act would gut religious freedom protections—even the freedom currently
enjoyed by houses of worship. Under its changes to the employment nondiscrimination
provisions in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, some houses of worship would be barred from
ensuring their leaders and other employees abide by their beliefs about marriage, sexual
behavior, and the distinction between the sexes. Women who identify as men would have to be
accepted as men and therefore potentially eligible to serve in positions reserved for men (such as
a Catholic Priest or Jewish Rabbi). Religious employers that fall under Title VII may be forced
to offer insurance coverage for medical procedures (such as hormone therapy or surgery related
to “gender transition”) that violate biblical teaching. Finally, the Equality Act would expressly do
away with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act’s application to its provisions, thereby
precluding any religious freedom claims which clergy or others might bring. Under such
restrictions, the pathway for the gospel would slowly be closed off.



The Equality Act would also harm faith-based adoption providers and other charities. Faith-based
organizations and others play a vital role in the adoption and foster care system and generally
receive funding under Title IV of the Social Security Act to perform their essential work. There
are over 440,000 children in foster care, and more than 100,000 of them are available for
adoption. The numbers are only getting higher; nearly 90,000 children a year enter the foster care
system due to the opioid crisis alone. The Equality Act would force faith-based organizations to
choose between continuing their life-affirming work or violating the tenets of their faith, the very
faith that drives them to care for society’s most vulnerable.

Third, the Equality Act is unacceptable because it is anti-life and creates a right to demand
abortion from health care providers. The termination of human life in the womb is unacceptable
to any biblically and historically faithful Christian. The responsibility to care for the “least of
these” (Matt. 25:40) is a fundamental responsibility of Christ’s church, and any proposal that undermines a culture of life must be rejected.

As Evangelical and Christian leaders humbly attempting to be faithful to God’s Word and historic biblical doctrine, we must clearly state our opposition to the Equality Act and any similar measures. Simply put, this bill will harm men, women, and children, and stifle freedom. It must
be stopped.

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper

Stop Equality Act! Organizations to Contact and Confront


Hi www.TCFamily.org Leadership Group, Friends, and Pastor Friends: May 9, 2019

Matt Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel, describes HR-5 (HouseOfRepresentatives-5) or S.788 (Senate), the so-called "Equality Act", as "…the greatest threat to religious freedom coming out of Congress…ever." It is currently being rushed through Congress now.

HERE IS THE BEST INFO I COULD FIND TO HELP IN STOPPING HR-5 THE “EQUALITY ACT” FROM PASSING:

1) Go HERE TO SIGN THE PETITION (www.lc.org/HR5) at Liberty Council’s website and see how great an attack on Religious Freedom this “Equality Act” is. [Takes about 1 minute or less.]

2) Go HERE (https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen3/19b/Stopping-Equality-Act/index.html) to see MassResistance’s great description of how dangerous to Christians the so-called “Equality Act” would be.

3) Go to the Crosstalk America “Equality Act Advances & State Dept. to Advance LGBT” article THAT I PASTED BELOW the ##### MARKS and listen to or download the excellent 48 minute interview. 

They list phone numbers that you can use to call. (I called all 8 numbers in less than 30 minutes and
politely expressed my strong objections.) The State Dept. gave me an “Office of Public Engagement”
number to call (202-647-6575) where you can only leave a 30 second message – which I did – but I also made sure to call all 4 listed State Dept. numbers to politely hopefully help swamp them with strong pro-family and pro-religious freedom concerns.



4) Watch this “Sing a Little Louder” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofcs9Y7qL4s) YouTube (11min) – that Matt Staver recommended – to see what happens when we stay silent.

(I’ve also ATTACHED this letter as a PDF file just in case the formatting of this email as you receive it is messed up.)

Godspeed,
Bill Wiesner / www.TCFamily.org Founder

(2) HOW TO HELP STOP SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO’S PLANS TO MAKE A
PROCLAMATION DURING THIS MONTH OF MAY THAT WOULD PROMOTE LGBT
AROUND THE WORLD.
MP3 | Order

Mat Staver is the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat has over 230 published legal
opinions, has authored 8 scholarly law review publications and 10 books. He’s filed numerous briefs
and argued in many federal and state courts including the U.S. Supreme Court where he has also
argued two landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
What is the Equality Act (HR-5)? To quote Mat, it’s, ‘…the greatest threat to religious freedom coming out of Congress…ever.’ It’s rapidly moving through the U.S. House where Mat believes it will pass.

From there it moves to the Senate and that’s where he feels it can be stopped.

The Equality Act amends a number of federal laws by elevating sexual orientation and gender identity to the same level as race in areas such as public accommodation, employment, etc. This expansion will cover every aspect of American life. In other words, anything you can’t currently do regarding race you won’t be able to do legally respective to LGBTQ. This includes cities, states, churches, religious organizations, all schools through the college and university level regardless of whether they’re Christian, public or private.

Looking at this more specifically, just as bathrooms can’t be segregated on the basis of race, under
this law a church, for example, couldn’t tell a man that he has to use the men’s restroom if that man
says or insists that he’s a woman and is entitled to use those facilities. To stop that individual would
be discrimination based on LGBT.

One of the proposed amendments to the bill was to strike religious freedom exemptions from it. That
failed by a vote of 22-10 which means there’s still no religious freedom protection in the bill as it
currently stands.

Jim played two quotes from the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler. One
addresses the matter of religious liberty in this matter and the other concerns transgender athletes
and their impact on women’s sports. In both cases, Mat referred to evidence that exposed the false
nature of Chairman Nadler’s statements.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has announced their support for HR-5. So if you’re a business
owner, you can let your feelings be heard on this issue by calling the executive vice president and
chief policy officer of the chamber at the contact information listed below.

While all this is going on concerning HR-5, Mat also noted that more than one credible source is
indicating that the State Department will issue a pro-LGBT directive this month to worldwide
embassies through Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. See the numbers listed below for contacting the
State Department.
