A Personal invitation to Join
Liberty Sunday, October 15, 2006
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Now a radical agenda seeks to extinguish that flame.
Here’s a personal invitation
for you! Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family
Institute, has extended his personal invitation for Latter-day
Saints to attend "Liberty Sunday," October 15th, 7
PM, in Boston Massachusetts at the Tremont Temple Baptist Church. Free
tickets to the event are still available. The support of the
Latter-day Saints at this important event would be greatly appreciated.
If you live in Massachusetts, please
attend. Free tickets to the event may be obtained
through the Massachusetts Family Institute, www.mafamily.org, by
calling 617/928-0800.
Across the nation, citizens can
tune into a webcast at www.libertysunday.org
and we urge you to do so.
"Liberty Sunday: Defending
Our First Freedom" will examine the cultural and legal
influences that threaten to erode religious liberties and muzzle
free speech. This event will also highlight the recent
string of incidents involving government intolerance against
those who live out their faith in the public square, including
faithful Latter-day Saints.

Ann Romney, wife of Massachusetts
Governor, Mitt Romney, will be one of the featured speakers
along with short profiles of other families whose lives
and especially those of their elementary school-age children(!)
have been directly affected by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial
Court's order to legalize same-sex marriage. Their stories
are shocking.
Mit and Ann Romney
In April of 2005, kindergarteners
and then second graders in an elementary school in Lexington,
Massachusetts were exposed to discussions of homosexuality and
transgenderism at school without parental notification, though
it was required by law. In the second grade class the teacher
read King and King about homosexual relations — again without
parental notification.
When they were told that they had
no right to object because that’s the way things were in same-sex
Massachusetts, two sets of parents sued, alleging district officials
and staff at Estabrook Elementary had violated state law and
civil rights by indoctrinating their children about an immoral
lifestyle, circumventing parental responsibilities.
Now, the ACLU of Massachusetts
and the Human Rights Coalition (the largest gay rights political
organization in the country) and others have filed an Amicus (Friend
of the Court) brief demanding that the federal judge dismiss
the parents’ case. In the brief they argue that
the state has a compelling interest to teach
or indoctrinate young children about homosexuality.
Discussing these important issues
will be nationally known speakers: Dr. James Dobson, Chuck Colson,
Gary Bauer, Bishop Wellington Boone, Professor Robert George,
Bishop Harry Jackson, Pastor Herb Lusk, Jason Mattera, Rev.
Dwight McKissic, Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, Fr. Frank Pavone, Rep.
Mike Pence, Judge Charles Pickering, Alan Sears, Tony Perkins,
Rev. Don Wildmon, and Maggie Gallagher. From Massachusetts
(either in person or by video): Gov. Mitt Romney, MA First Lady
Ann Romney, Mr. Ray Flynn, David & Tonia Parker, Robb &
Robin Wirthlin, Peter Marshall, Dr. Paul Jehle, Carol Barr,
Attorney Jeffrey Denner, Brian Ellis, Linda Kelly, CJ Doyle
and Bethany Yeo.

NOW is the time to get involved in
one of the most pressing moral issues of our time. Come
join us for an inspiring time challenging people of all faiths
to work together in an effort to preserve our first and foremost
civil liberty: religious freedom.
PS. For you architecture buffs...
The Tremont Temple is one of the most beautiful buildings in
Boston. The interior is indescribable and it was the venue
for the first US production of Charles Dickens' "A
Christmas Carroll". He attended its opening night,
right here in Boston!
