'The Family': Blood on their hands.

If you missed Raw Story's report on the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 that allows for, among other means of punishment, execution...be sure to read it HERE.

Who are the group of American politicians behind the group,'The Family,' who back this heinous violation of human rights?

From NPR's Terry Gross, via Talk2Action:

GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Let's get back to our interview with Jeff Sharlet, the author of the bestseller 'The Family,' about the secretive fundamentalist group that promotes its anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-free market ideas with the help of several Congressman and Senators who are connected to the group, including John Ensign, Bart Stupak, Joe Pitts, James Inhofe, Tom Coburn, Charles Grassley and Zach Wamp.[Emphasis mine.] The Family is active in America and around the world.

A bit surprising, although not shocking, is that Democratic Representative Bart Stupak (Who also is opposed to complete women's health care services) could be a homophobic hate-monger who is party to the murder of gays.

I anticipate dismal election results for Stupak when he comes up for re-election, assuming he has the audacity to run again, and assuming we can get any Dems to bother to turn out at the polls...


In a perfect world, the rest of Congress and the Senate would condemn this group, and call for immediate resignations.
