Unbiased Media?

I just received the email below and felt it was important enough to pass on.  Please read the CTV article mentioned http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070803/against_pride_flag_080803/20070803?hub=TopStories
and note the mindsets that are expressed in the article... i.e. that not being willing to endorse the gay lifestyle means you are a homophobe or "backward thinking" ("council's ban makes the whole town look discriminatory and backward-thinking"), that this is "a sign of homophobia in a government that should be secular" (when they say "secular" what they're trying to imply is that supporting gay rights is being "unbiased" or "neutral", the reality is just the opposite, they are trying to force THEIR morals on us) and that the gay rights activists are portrayed as victims that have been wronged ("the rejection made them feel ostracized and unwelcome").
 
Maybe your reaction is "What can I do about this?"  I'm here to tell you there ARE things you can do:
  • Write an email in support of Mayor Bill Mills and the Truro Town Council (town@truro.ca) to thank them for taking a stand and to let them know there are people who do not agree with the mindsets expressed in the article.  They must be upset after an article like that and could use some encouragement. 
  • Write to CTV to draw attention to the apparent bias in the journalism for the article (it clearly gives the impression that the writer is on the side of the gay rights activists and only quotes those who spoke negatively of the town's decisions)
  • Seriously consider joining the boycott of CTV. A friend of mine who received the email below decided enough is enough and is organizing a boycott of CTV in response to this article.  I know it seems drastic, but it is a powerful way to send a message, so I'd encourage you to seriously consider whether desperate times really do call for desperate measures and whether you will join in the boycott and pass it on to others.  Here's the link:
 
---------- Forwarded message ----------
 

The Mayor of Truro, Nova Scotia has refused to fly a homosexual flag at City Hall for a "pride event" in the name of his Christian Values.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070803/against_pride_flag_080803/20070803?hub=TopStories

He is obviously getting a lot of flak.

Please write the Mayor an email and congratulate him for standing up for family values:

town@truro.ca

It does not have to be long-- just a short paragraph is sufficient.

Then go to the CTV website and click on "feedback" at the bottom of the story. Tell CTV the story was biased-- they did not have one citizen in the story to say that the mayor did the right thing-- and that in a small community in Nova Scotia. That's not believeable.

Please write the mayor. The Mayor will probably need this ammunition. If you have a blog, please blog about it.

Please spread this to as many people as possible.

Municipal Election Time... Don't Know Who To Vote For?

If you're anything like me you find it a little bit overwhelming when you're faced with not one, not two, but up to FIVE categories to vote for in our upcoming municipal elections.  No wonder like only 30% of people vote... which just means that those who care enough to mark their ballot just have MORE of a chance to make a difference in our community.
 
So:
  1. Find out who the candidates and positions are in your area... google "elections _____________ (your city/township)"
  2. Find out who your local Defend Marriage and Pro-Life organizations are endorsing; visit these sites and call/email to find an organization and who they're endorsing: http://users.webhart.net/vandee/prolife.shtml and http://www.familyaction.org/defendmarriage/contact-us.htm
Now, you may be thinking "What does the pro-marriage debate have to do with a municipal election?"  Well, for one thing, moral viewpoint has ALOT to do with electing our school board trustees, these people decide what they will be teaching our kids is to be viewed as acceptable in our society.  And, secondly, in my own personal opinion, an individual who is willinng to take a strong stand on a tough issue based on moral convictions, often is a Christian and I think they probably have a good deal of integrity and will make a strong leader. 
 
I hope you find this information helpful as you decide who to elect in our community.  Please pass this information on to anyone you feel might be interested in taking it into account when they mark their ballot.
 
***If you are not registered to vote: Just go to a polling station on Monday (the 13th) and bring with you a piece of ID that has your picture and signature on it and a document with your current address.
 
If you have any questions about the election please don't hesitate to or email me at mapleleafforever118@hotmail.com and I'd be happy to help you out... Let's make an investment in our community... VOTE on November 13th!

It’s time… To raise “The Cry” 2 Him!

The Call…

National Prayer Gathering in Ottawa. Calling a generation to arise and take the nation.

As many of you already know, I am involved in a non-partisan Christian political youth organization called MY Canada (Motivated Young People for a Strong Canada).  MY Canada, together with the National House of Prayer, is spearheading a national, youth-focused (but not "youth-exclusive") day of prayer and worship on Parliament Hill called the "Cry 2" on July 15, 2006, to cry out to God on behalf of our country for the fullness of His dominion to come in our generation.  Speakers/worship leaders include: Steve Osmond (Tehilla Monday), James and Looee Arreak (featured on Transformations II video), and Laura Woodley.

 

I wanted to let you know about this momentous event because I feel that God will move very strongly as a result of our "Cry 2" Him on that day, and I want to give you the chance to be apart of this “History Making” Cry. 

 

It's not a conference, it's not a concert, it's a CRY.

God’s recruiting for His army, will you answer His call and help sound the CRY?

The Action…

If your heart is saying “Yes”, here’s how you can get involved:

  • Be on Parliament Hill for CRY 2 on July 15th – no registration is required and cost is by free will offering
  • Contact me if you’re interested in carpooling - if you’ve got a car and would be willing to give others a ride to the Cry, or if you would like to go but don’t have transportation, let me know
  • Promote Cry 2 in your church/youth group – I will support you in any way I can and help you get ahold of promotional materials (i.e. DVD clips, posters, brochures)
  • Pray into the Cry and support financially – The cost of putting on an event like this is extremely high, you can help make it possible

You can get more information and watch promo videos at the Cry 2 Website.

Email me if you have any questions… See you on the Hill!

“Now is the time for us to shine, shine with the face of Christ devine, no compromise, for all Heaven cries, now is the time!” (Now is the Time – Delirious?)

For God and Country,

Beth

MY Canada Seige/NHOP March Break Week

What an AWESOME way to spend your March Break! See you on the Hill... 

Check out the late-breaking news from MY Canada... they're doing a week of prayer in Ottawa for Canada... calling all young people... this is gonna go way beyond folding your hands and kneeling beside your bed (not that there's anything at all wrong with that).  We're talking this is probably going to involve teaching in hard-core intercession from people who really know what they're talking about as well as guided tours of the parliament buildings, opportunities to watch the House in session LIVE, maybe we'll even meet the new Prime Minister (just kidding, well, you never know, it could happen, we might at least meet and/or pray for/with some MP's and/or Senators, who knows).

NHOP WEEK IN OTTAWA: We are taking a team to work with the National House of Prayer in Ottawa, March 12-19th.

To apply for you or your youth group to join in for the NHOP week in Ottawa e-mail us at admin@4mycanada.ca.
