AFA calls on President Bush to support General Peter Pace

From AFA calls on President Bush to support General Pace, published Mar 14, 2007, by American Family Association:

American Family Association (AFA) says its supporters have sent nearly 150,000 e-mails to President Bush asking him to stand behind Marine General Peter Pace. The e-mails came from the AFA’s website, afa.net.

AFA said several homosexual groups are trying to force Gen. Pace out of the military because of comments he made calling homosexual acts immoral.

Gen. Pace said homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and should not be condoned. “The homosexuals are angry because General Pace told the truth, something homosexual activists cannot stand,” said AFA Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. “They want to force the military to approve their perverted behavior.”

“These radical activists called Gen. Pace’s comments ‘insulting and offensive to the men and women who are serving in the military honorably.’ What is insulting and offensive is that, to these radicals, upholding military law isn’t important. An overwhelming number of military members find such acts insulting and offensive,” Wildmon said.

He said AFA is urging supporters to engage others to send e-mails to the president in support of Gen. Pace. “As Commander In Chief, the president should applaud Gen. Pace for upholding military law,” Wildmon said.
