Executive Director Andrea Lafferty
and Founder Rev. Louis P. Sheldon

This group is dangerous

I have been watching the web site they control with utter shock and horror
Read the the Homosexual Urban Legend Series the site is disgusting and full of lies all in the name of god.
Lev. 21:20 states that I you may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight..As you can clearly see Rev. Louis P. Sheldon is wearing glasses.
Sir I must ask you to step down.
No contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24) Sir once again you have broken gods law step down.
The famous quote they use Lev 18:22, Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Lets grow up people its 2006 and counting.

TVC's Principal Issues:
# Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) describes itself as the largest church-lobby in the United States. TVC’s mission is to “to restore America’s cultural heritage” by opposing gay and lesbian civil rights, reproductive freedom, the teaching of evolution in public schools, and sex education curricula that does not stress abstinence to the exclusion of information on birth control and disease prevention, and promotes prayer in schools.
# TVC is active both as a group that lobbies Congress and as a grassroots organization that gives marching orders to churches to oppose local, state, and federal legislation.
# TVC distributes information about gays and lesbians, usually referring to gays and lesbians as “sexual predators” and “pedophiles.”
# TVC has also worked on issues relating to the dangers of pornography, including supporting the use of internet filters at public libraries.
# Under their “Judicial Nominee Monitoring Project” the group has lobbied for a conservative judicial system and right wing judicial nominees/appointments.

TVC's Activities:
# TVC actively lobbies against hate crime legislation because according to their executive director, hate crime legislation will be “used by homosexual activists to punish any person who has the courage to speak out against the recruitment of children by homosexuals."
# Most of TVC’s work is concerned with homosexuality, which it opposes by working against civil unions, supporting Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) statutes, and accusing gays and lesbians of “recruiting” children into homosexuality.
# In 2001 TVC pressured California’s school board members to reject certain aspects of the California Assembly Bill (AB) 537, the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, which prohibits harassment and discrimination based on actual or perceived homosexuality and gender identity. TVC not only thought AB 537 as unnecessary, but also instructed California school board members to ignore all of the recommendations because they would be “promoting” homosexuality and anti-Christian bigotry.
# TVC and many other religious right groups oppose the rules that prohibit churches from directly supporting political candidates, either through endorsement or campaign contributions. TVC supports the "Bright-Line Act of 2001" (H.R. 2931), a bill that would allow churches to devote 20% of their gross revenues to lobbying and 5% of that 20% toward endorsements of political candidates. The bill has the support of Majority Leader Dick Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay. (Both are Republicans from Texas.)
# TVC was active in state battles over constitutional amendments outlawing civil rights protections for gays and lesbians in Colorado and Oregon. TVC has also helped organized anti-gay initiatives in California, Arizona, Missouri, and Washington.
# The group was instrumental in convincing the California State Board of Education to reject a health education curriculum that touched on such subjects as homosexuality and AIDS. TVC has also worked to preserve sodomy laws in California.
# TVC occasionally runs “soft ads” on televisions in elections in certain congressional districts. TVC offers a weekly e-mail service alerting constituents how their congressional representative voted on TVC issues.
# TVC operates an extensive “non-partisan” voter education program. During elections, TVC distributes district specific voter guides which featured side by side profiles of the candidate's positions and/or their voting records.
# Andrea Sheldon Lafferty, founder Louis Sheldon’s daughter, is a former Reagan administration official who works out of the TVC DC office as a Capitol Hill lobbyist.
# According to the Los Angeles Times, "[Andrea Sheldon Lafferty’s] energy, tenacity and access to Republican leaders impress both allies and enemies. Even those with unvarnished contempt for the TVC acknowledge Andrea's ability to disarm - and even to charm." Lafferty lobbies congress on behalf of TVC.

Quotes from Andrea Sheldon Lafferty:
Andrea Sheldon Lafferty says supporters of hate crimes laws that include sexual orientation as a protected category "are trying to take a handful of hideous, horrible crimes and use that to force acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle."

In reference to fetal tissue research, Lafferty says "I think we're going to have to apologize to the Nazis for this."

Quotes from Louis Sheldon:
“As Homosexuals continue to make inroads into public schools, more children will be molested and indoctrinated into the world of homosexuality. Many of them will die in that world.” (“Homosexuals Recruit Public School Children,” by Louis Sheldon, special report, Vol. 18, No. 11)

“Americans should understand that their attitudes about homosexuality have been deliberately and deceitfully changed by a masterful propaganda/marketing campaign that rivals that of Adolph Hitler. In fact, many of the strategies used by homosexuals to bring about cultural change in America are taken from Hitler’s writings and propaganda welfare manuals.” (“Homosexual Propaganda Campaign Based on Hitler’s ‘Big Lie’ Technique,” by Louis Sheldon, special report, Vol. 18, No. 10)

"Give us a few more years under the belt and we will learn how to replace many of the school board members. Give us more time to understand how the system works, and we'll work the system even better than one could ever imagine." (CNN News, 9/2/90)

"There is a war waging in America. The battle is over values, beliefs and the cultural basis of western civilization.... the elitist avant-garde arts community uses the NEA to advertise and disseminate their political beliefs. The NEA then uses our scarce tax dollars to fund works which are intended to shock Americans into an acceptance of dysfunctional behavioral lifestyles and to destroy the family." (Hearing on the NEA, 4/91)
