'Rally For Sally' Planners Expect Huge Crowd For Wednesday Noon Capitol Event
Planners of Wednesday's "Rally For Sally" in support of Rep. Sally Kern say today they expect a huge turnout for the event, scheduled at Noon inside the State Capitol. There are no indications that Capitol security is being enhanced for the event, but observers expect officers will be more visible than usual.
A coalition of religious and conservative groups put the event together in response to a demonstration by homosexual activists who were protesting Kern's recent remarks about the homosexual lifestyle. Master of ceremonies will be Reid Mullins, host of radio station KTOK's morning show.
Among the groups involved are the Concerned Women of America, Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, the Eagle Forum and members of the Oklahoma Family Policy Council and other groups, including what is said to be a large coalition of church pastors.
Concerned Women for America (CWA) issued a statement in which leader said its members "will join over 50 pastors in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to rally support for State Representative Sally Kern (R-Oklahoma City) and her right to free speech. Recently, Rep. Kern has been under attack from radical homosexual activists and their followers over remarks she made regarding the homosexual agenda.
"Rep. Kern took a Biblical stand against homosexual activism and has refused to back down from her statements despite receiving death threats. CWA applauds Rep. Kern for continuing to be steadfast and resolute in this fight against the homosexual agenda and for shedding light on the threat it poses to our nation.
"Rep. Kern has been quoted as saying that the homosexual agenda is dangerous “because it destroys the basic moral fiber of this nation, which is traditional marriage and the traditional family.” She couldn’t be more right.
"Matt Barber, CWA’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said, 'There are certainly those who hate Rep. Kern. They’ve made that perfectly clear with vicious personal attacks and even death threats. But millions of Americans proudly stand alongside Sally Kern and say, ‘Thank you. Thank you for boldly standing your ground and for unapologetically defending Biblical Truth.’ They intended to make an example of her. They have, but not in the way they had hoped. She has set an example for millions of believers around the world. Her courage and refusal to deviate from God’s unequivocal condemnation of sexual immorality is serving to galvanize and embolden others. People say, ‘Well Sally Kern wasn’t intimidated, why should I be?’'
CWA of Oklahoma State Director, Linda Caswell, said “Rep. Kern has exercised her right to free speech and has spoken boldly about the effects of homosexuality on our families and on our nation. We strongly encourage everyone to come to the rally and show your support for Rep. Kern. Let others know that we will not back down from taking a Biblical stand on the moral issues facing our state and our nation today.”
