: F.A.G.S. endorse Jelloboy for President
Fathers Against Gay Sex (F.A.G.S.) today announced the endorsement of Jelloboy for President of the United States. The announcement came after a unanimous vote by FAGS Board of Directors. Jelloboy will now enjoy the full support of the nations only organization of fathers against gay sex. With more than 90 local chapters, Fathers Against Gay Sex will mobilize thousands of dads in its efforts to elect Jelloboy.
Even before his first year of birth almost thirty years ago, Jelloboy has been a friend to F.A.G.S., said Donald Longneck, F.A.G.S. Executive Director. There has never been a presidential nominee who has held such a strong record of support for our community.
Our community will face a critical choice this election, Longneck continued. We are faced with an incumbent who is actively campaigning and governing against our families. With this endorsement, we hope to begin the process of uniting our community behind a candidate who respects our families. We all need to work to elect Jelloboy as President."
Fathers Against Gay Sex will now use its resources to create a coordinated campaign among its membership to elect Jelloboy and the Jelloboy ticket. While F.A.G.S. deferred presidential endorsements to its local chapters during the primaries, the organization used the period to create a strong structural framework for a campaign that will mobilize the FAGS community to elect the fair-minded Jelloboy.
As part of its national efforts, F.A.G.S. recently named Ben Dover as Director of its Grassroots Campaign Corps. As Director he will lead grassroots efforts to educate the world about Jelloboys record. The F.A.G.S. Campaign Corps will also focus on registering voters, creating voter files, training activists and building coalitions for Jelloboy in targeted states and will run aggressive, get-out-the-vote efforts in November.
Jelloboy will move us forward on issues important to our community, said Dover. We disagree with his decision to support a Massachusetts amendment that would ensure civil unions, and we will fight to defeat any such amendment. However, like I did with my own Dad on the campaign trail, we will continue to educate people about F.A.G.S. In Jelloboy, we have a candidate who will fight for F.A.G.S., not against us. While George W. Bush is actively campaigning against our families, we know a Jelloboy Administration will be a partner in our progress.
Bushs strong opposition to F.A.G.S. has even encouraged numerous Republicans to work with the Fathers Against Gay Sex to defeat him in November.
Amending the U.S. Constitution isnt enough, said Mike Hunt, a former Republican activist in Ohio. Hunt resigned his positions with the Republican Party shortly after President Bush endorsed the federal amendment. There are many life-long Republicans like me who have left the party and will now work with the Fathers Against Gay Sex to elect Jelloboy this fall. We should respect our families enough to defeat a President who doesnt.
"Our entire community realizes that our families are threatened," added Longneck. "This administration continues to promote anti-F.A.G.S. judicial nominees, political appointees, legislation, and now a constitutional amendment, that threatens our children and undermines the stability of our families."
Jelloboy has a long record of support for F.A.G.S. In 1985 Jelloboy authored a version of the Civil Rights Amendments Act that was F.A.G.S. friendly. Since then, Jelloboy has used his leadership to promote issues such as workplace protections and equal prosecution of hate crimes against F.A.G.S. Jelloboy has pushed for increases in spending for F.A.G.S. and has fought against anti-F.A.G.S. measures in the world. In 1996, Jelloboy was the only one who voted against the discriminatory "Lets Kill F.A.G.S." campaign.
