This group's "sole purpose" is to have it's members write to companies and legislators in droves when any pro-gay advances arise. This group terrorized Ford Motor Company with a national boycott because they were going to offer the same benefits to gay workers as to straight workers. They terrorize their local legislators into voting against any legislation that tries to give gay Americans the same rights as straights. They terrorized Wal-Mart for simply carrying the gay themed movie "Broke back Mountain."
Political actions and Boycotts
A. Wal-Mart for carrying "Broke back mountain."

B. Ford Motor Company for offering equal benefits to gay employees.

C. Threaten the teachers union.
Teachers Union Removes Endorsement of Gay Marriage
The endorsement read," The Association believes that legal rights and responsibilities with regard to medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, legal immigration, domestic partnerships and civil unions and/or marriage belong to all these diverse groups and individuals."
This statement which seems quite logical was removed in 2006 after the organized assault (letters/calls) from the American Family Association. http://www.family.org/cforum/briefs/a0040978.cfmo
D. Criticize "Activist Judges"
When a judge decide a case and the outcome is not what the ultra conservatives want then they suddenly become an "Activist Judge."
On Tuesday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge, Constance Russell ruled that the constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage in Georgia violated the state's "single-subject rule" because it asked voters to decide on multiple issues in one amendment. A number of pro-family legal analysts and political leaders have criticized the judge's assertion that the amendment violated the rule by addressing both same-sex marriage and civil unions.
AFA Law Center chief counsel, Steve Crampton, who specializes in American constitutional law, feels Judge Russell's reasoning was based on a flawed reading of the "single-subject rule" and he is convinced her ruling will not stand for long. "I am confident that whether it's at the Court of Appeals or at the Georgia Supreme Court, it will be overturned," he says. http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/5/192006a.asp
With their organization and resources can you imagine the good that they could do to better the poor, the needy, the homeless? Instead, they consider gay Americans the "enemy" in a "cultural war" that no one else but them knows is going on. It is quite pathetic actually. Gay Americans? People that have never done anything to wrong them. People they work with, they are related to, their neighbors. Instead of accepting differences and trying to learn from people that are different, they are spending countless hours and dollars solely on trying to discriminate against people that they don't even know.
How scary life must be when you are terrified of anyone who doesn't look, think, and act just exactly like you do.

Some skeptical readers have forwarded me copies of a
statement mass-emailed to supporters of Donald Wildmon's conservative American Family Association claiming that new legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives would make it a crime for churches and religious leaders to speak out against homosexuality. "If pastors and other Christians don't aggressively oppose a bill now in Congress," Wildmon writes, "in the near future they will be subject to huge fines and prison terms if they say anything negative about homosexuality."
In reality, the House bill discussed in the statement contains no provisions that would inhibit the free speech of anyone, including those who oppose homosexuality on religious grounds. By all means, contact your elected representatives to express your opposition or support -- just make sure you know what the bill actually says before you do.
