The Fence! The Fence! The Fence!


Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Sign petitions, and by all means, encourage entities, people, officials who are standing up for your rights and making a difference.

Remember what happens when good people do nothing?

It happened. We're going down as I wrote in my last column, so what have you got to lose besides your integrity? Your possessions? Your personal property? What are you waiting for?

I get petitions all the time to sign and almost all of them are from legitimate, worthy entities. In the past I said, “Ah, no, I can’t do this. Someone’s going to take down my name and I’ll get put on a list.”

In a word, tough. I’ve signed and it hasn’t happened and if it does, fine. That fence too many of us have been straddling for too many years has decayed and is crumbling. If anyone thinks that hiding under their bed will make them safe, the bed will someday be gone, too. Sooner, than later, I believe.

There are organizations like Florida Family Association – one of many – who have either filed suit, protested, contacted sponsors of TV shows such as Family Guy (an anti-Christian TV show), or Craig’s List, which has sponsored “escort services”, and have gotten things done, in the name of moral, Christian, American, righteous values.

Support these organizations, even if you just sign a petition. I know you believe in what they’re doing. And use your real name and email address. THAT’S what you can do. But for the sake of what you hold dear, please do something!
