While a number of pro-family groups have done well in fighting the homosexual agenda by supporting new laws at the state level and occasionally objecting to the more egregious examples of homosexual effrontery to traditional values, no organization has shown the interest or ability to challenge the whole gamut of societal changes that threaten the most fundamental aspects of our culture. Today we are at grave risk. We have seen the introduction of homosexual marriages, homosexual civil unions, homosexual adoptions, homosexual domestic partner benefits and the persecution of those who oppose these new “rights.” Large organizations funded with millions of dollars have sprung up to promote the so called Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgenedered (GLBT) agenda. Tomorrow, there is the real possibility of criminalization of those who dare speak against these perverse changes.
Citizen Action Now was created to challenge GLBT groups on all fronts, but will concentrate on areas currently being ignored by other pro-family groups, such as, corporations. The brainchild of the Alan Keyes organization, Declaration Alliance, Citizen Action Now will fight for an America free from the manipulation of homosexual groups. These groups have long realized that by changing the way America does business, they will eventually change America. Once they have instituted “domestic partner” benefits at most major American corporations, once they have included mandatory sensitivity training concerning the most bizarre sexual practices, once they have established “gay” sex clubs in the schools, the sooner they will be able to achieve their ultimate goal of complete acceptance of homosexual lifestyles. While we sympathize with individuals consumed with homosexual desires, we can not let our sympathy distract us from defending traditional standards of moral purity against an onslaught of “homosexual rights” shrilly demanded by groups brought together by their shared sexual interests. These “rights,” which include the right to marry, adopt and publicly act out strange sexual mental maladies threaten an America built on values cherished by Muslims, Christians and Jews.
Citizen Action Now is headed by Thomas Strobhar who honed his skills in the pro-life movement successfully fighting corporations which gave money to Planned Parenthood. Thomas had a singular effect on such corporate giants as American Express, AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway, General Mills, Target Stores and many others. All told, over 115 companies have stopped contributing to Planned Parenthood, in part, because of Thomas’ efforts. Pat Buchanan’s newsletter called Thomas Strobhar “a one man wrecking crew” even the pro-choice magazine, Glamour, admitted Thomas was “a financial whiz.” In addition, Thomas Strobhar founded Pro Vita Advisors, one of the most respected morally responsible corporate research organizations in the country.
Citizen Action Now, drawing on Thomas Strobhar’s business and financial background, is committed to minimizing cost and maximizing output. Already, on a minimal budget, Citizen Action Now, has lead petition drives confronting the pro-homosexual management of Allstate Insurance and Walgreens pharmacy. In just a short period of time shareholder resolutions confronting the homosexual agenda at American Express, Bank of America, Citigroup, IBM, Merrill Lynch and others have been filed. All were done at little expense, but designed to create havoc at corporations who openly support homosexual groups or policies. No other pro-family organization has been as actively involved in this tremendously effective approach.
Citizen Action Now is committed to helping individuals and groups challenge the homosexual agenda in America through actions that work. We have been bequeathed cultural and religious values centuries old and now are at risk of seeing these values trashed and those who defend them silenced. That is why this organization was formed. We can wait no longer. We must act now. Any delay will require ten times the work just to return things to the status quo.
