Title V

We need you to act today.
Email and call your Senators to support Abstinence Education funding.
The federal funding for "Title V" Abstinence Education is set to expire by the end of the year. Title V provides a crucial source of public funds for abstinence programs across the country.
A 2005 study confirmed the effectiveness of these programs in changing atitudes towards sexual behavior among teens. As Bridget Maher of FRC points out:
Compared to their peers in a control group, teens who participated in abstinence programs had an increased understanding of the negative consequences of unwed sex. Also, the students viewed abstinence more favorably and unwed sex more negatively.
Recent statistics indicate that teen sexual activity is declining from its peak in the 1990s. However, the distinct rise in explicit media does not bode well for sustaining this trend. As the internet gives teenagers unfettered access to obscenity, it is important that we provide an alternative message of sexual responsibility and personal integrity.
A 2004 study published in Pediatrics definitively showed that teens exposed to sexual content on television were twice as likely to experiment with sex than those who avoided such media. Abstinence education in the public schools gives our children the skills and tools they need. Tell your Senator you support this important legislation.
Can you passionatly defend a moderate position?

MittSpaces
Yes, that's right, www.mittspaces.com is a brand-new MySpace-ish site devoted to praising all things Romney-related. It is unaffiliated with the campaign, and was created a few days ago by Wade Eyerly, a radidly enthusiastic young Republican operative I first came across a couple of years ago, when he helped run a small 527 organization called "Fight for Right." He's worked for Dick Cheney, and is a big big big Mitt Romney enthusiast.
Anyway, it's got 24 "friends" already, which is more than the frightening-colored Mitt Romney for President site on real MySpace (although several MittSpaces friends appear to be related to Mr. Eyerly).
It's going to be interesting watching how Presidential candidates try to use new outreach tools in the '08 race, and I don't doubt that some interesting ideas will originate in these kinds of early, unofficial, draft-candidate-X efforts.
I guess wade is "radidly enthusiastic". I think he means radically... but I'm not won to katch peples spelin.
Romney's Wikipedia site has removed pro-mitt links
There, is a new development at this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mitt_Romney
"After noticing that Students Against Mitt was removed as "inappropriate", I just removed all these unofficial, pro-Romney sites (see below). I may be wrong, but they appear to violate WP:EL, as well as WP:NPOV#Undue weight. schi talk 23:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)"
Romney Sites - National
Romney Sites - By State
Romney Sites - By Organization
-
- I would not have removed students against Mitt. I run myclob.pbwiki.com. I am pro-Romney but I do not think myclob.pbwiki.com is... It is a Mitt Romney encyclopedia, with direct quotes from him on every topic. I would invite anti-romney people to help me edit it. But quotes are organized by topic, which are organized alphabetically. I have every Romney press release, and this site may become more important, once Romney's governor site goes away... I imagine patrick devall will not keep Romney press releases around on the mass governor servers...It is not pro-Romney, because it has direct indisputable quotes... tell me what you think of the site, and if you don't think you could link to it now, tell me what you think I could do to make it acceptable...myclob 02:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- As you can see I have made an argument to keep my site...Go to the talk page to discuss this issue...
Your New York Observer Piece
When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney declared his opposition to both same-sex marriage and civil unions. [34] "Call me old fashioned, but I don't support gay marriage nor do I support civil union," said Romney in an October 2002 gubernatorial debate. He also voiced support for basic domestic partnership benefits for gay couples. Romney told the Log Cabin Club of Massachusetts (a Republican gay-rights group) that he did not support same-sex marriage or civil unions, but would fight discrimination against gays and lesbians. [35] He also opposed an amendment, then before the General Court, that would have banned same-sex marriage and outlawed all domestic partnership benefits for gay couples. As a result, the Log Cabin Club endorsed Romney in the gubernatorial election. [36]. When campaigning in 2002, Romney's stated position was that "all citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual orientation" and that "homosexuals should have the right to a domestic partnership status that affords them the potential for health benefits and rights of survivorship." [37]
I am discipointed that you would misscharacterize Romney's record.
Your conclusion is not only stupid, it is not honest: "But that's Willard Romney: He could have been an exceptional, ideologically independent governor, just as he could have been the real-deal conservative he now appears to be. It's just a pity that he didn't pick one face and stick with it. "
You prove that you are not ideologically independent writer, but choose to call someone a flip flop, even when their positions have never changed.
Ever hear of my-space?

This site is kind of new, I look forward to seeing what happens...
