Tell America About Your Values

Purple Ocean, the public membership arm of the SEIU, will be purchasing an ad in the NY Times at the end of the month that will use comments submitted at the website called My Moral Values about what people believe are genuine moral values:

How did Republicans claim the moral high ground in this election? Is wanting health care for all immoral? Is believing in the value of community and helping others immoral? Don't let them call your values into question. Fill in the form . . . to tell America how your moral values have affected your vote. We'll use some of the most compelling stories in a New York Times advertisement to be published on November 26th. America needs to have this conversation. They may have won the election--don't let them win this battle of ideas.

We know what to do, don't we?

And if you need some motivation, here's a few excerpts from of congratulations to Bush sent by Bob Jones, of the infamously right-wing-nut Bob Jones University:

In your re-election, God has graciously granted America—though she doesn't deserve it—a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have been given a mandate.

....Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you.

....Undoubtedly, you will have opportunity to appoint many conservative judges and exercise forceful leadership with the Congress in passing legislation that is defined by biblical norm regarding the family, sexuality, sanctity of life, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and limited government. You have four years—a brief time only—to leave an imprint for righteousness upon this nation that brings with it the blessings of Almighty God.

And if you think you have the stomach for it, check out Focus on the Family's Mullah Dobson's hateful pronouncements at a "Christian" rally before the election, including this gem:

“Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage,” Dobson said. “It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.”
