When President Obama decided to announce in May his embrace of gay marriage he opened the gate for his political sideline gay supporters and liberal like-minded non-profit funders to weed out organizations that support traditional family values. They zeroed their targets on the Boy Scouts, because of its refusal to cave in to the demands of liberals and gay activists to change their traditional values and biblically-based beliefs.
This was not unique for the organization to stand firm on its 100 plus year-old legacy. In fact it took a June 28th, 2000 "Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale" decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the Boy Scouts of America’s right of freedom of association . The decision sanctioned the group’s right to set its own standards for both membership as well as leadership.
But with a wink and a nod from President Obama’s embrace of gay marriage in May of this year, the liberal gay activists were emboldened to decimate the Boy Scouts’ legal Supreme Court constitutionally supported rights. They moved with all deliberate speed to defund organizations, and set their eyes on Cleveland, Ohio’s 100 year old plus organization.
On Tuesday, September 25th, the United Way of Greater Cleveland notified the Greater Cleveland Council of the Boy Scouts of America (GCC) that their $97,251 funding was going to be stripped. This vindictive action would affect 16,000 youth that are served in Cuyahoga and Summit Counties in the Cleveland area, according to the GCC.
Not only that, but, this defunding would critically and adversely, affect the lives of 1,500 at risk low income children in the City of Cleveland, admitted Boy Scout program aide Wardell Cooper, to WKYC-TV News, on Tuesday, September 25th. Cooper, himself, has increased Boy Scout participation in his area of Cleveland from 9 scouts to dozens. That translates into dozens of kids with new hope, who are off of the street and involved in constructive community activities.
The overriding mandated objective of the gay rights agenda is crystal clear to parents of boy scouts and to their supporters. To receive funding, the organization must both abandon their moral principles and adopt the new liberal order or the funder will decimate the children’s future… constitution or no constitution. So there you have it, As of June 30th, 2013, the United Way of Greater Cleveland will eliminate and potentially decimate the opportunity of children, and especially those in many Cleveland urban neighborhoods.
Where are the civil rights advocates from the churches and from the neighborhoods and from the state or the nation who will fight for the children who were engaged in decent law abiding activities? Certainly no support will be forthcoming from the NAACP.
The NAACP has already been bought and sold and peddled their credibility down the river. This summer the organization’s 64-member board adopted a resolution to support gay marriage and tie it to rights guaranteed blacks by the 14th Amendment. So as one can see, the children do not have an advocate in an organization that has sold the children’s future out for 30 pieces of silver from Obama and his gay rights supporters.
But this is the time for parents and advocates of constitutionally protected freedom of association to stand firm! They have to support not only these young boy scouts, but all children who are being forced to subjugate their rights for a political morally challenged purpose.
Ignore the president’s abandonment of the rule of law. Ignore the wails and the ridicule of the LGBT side which seeks to openly delegitimize your embrace of America’s tradition of marriage being between a man and a woman. This is one nation under God and not one nation under Obama!
Where do you draw the line for your family or your children’s future?
Do you draw it at the state border? Do you draw it at the city gate? Do you draw it at the neighborhood line? Do you draw it at your neighbor’s fence? Do you wait until your child no longer has a future? Founding father Benjamin Franklin said in 1759 “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Your children deserve better!
Cleveland’s Boy Scouts are not the first nor will they be the last group to come under the steel jack boot of gay rightist assaults. This should not be a fight to discriminate, rather it is a fight to support founding principles, and not be bullied, threatened, assaulted and stripped of your selfhood.
The red line in the sand is in Cleveland, and it is in any and every town where ( Read More )

Comment by Kathy Schweigert on September 29, 2012 at 8:56pm Don't let the gays do this to your Organization !!!! Stick to your principles and keep the kids safe!!!!
The Greater Cleveland Council of the BSA have no independent say over policy. The Central Florida Council got treated to this extortion attempt several years ago. Of course, the BSA refused to budge on it's principals and the United Way dropped withheld donations. This backfired horribly for the United Way as major donors began to donate directly to the BSA and dropped the United Way. The CFC was actually very concerned that smaller, needy community groups were going to suffer due to fewer donations to the UW. Donations to the CFC actually increased that year, while the UW's decreased. I guess they didn't learn their lesson. They peddle their pro-gay agenda to the detriment of their community service.

The local argument by United Way is always that every orgainzation is independent and just because one United Way group does something doesn't mean all of them do. Nevertheless, any local organization affiliated with the name in effect lends their credence and support to the whole. Local agencies need to disassociate from the national organization and adopt a new name. If they are not associated with the national organization, they are non-the-less tarred by association.
Comment by Kelly Randall on September 28, 2012 at 12:55pm This is why I give directly to the non-profits of my choice. Several years back United Way decided that since the Boy Scouts had gotten more money donated to them than another organization they took some of the Boy Scout money and gave it to the other organization. Now they didn't ask me if I was ok with using my money that I donated for the Boy Scouts for someone else. That was the last time I donated through the United Way. LGBT needs to stop pushing their lifestyle, sexual preference issues or whatever on me. I don't mind live and let live but most folks just don't know how to do that.
