Continued Threats, New Tactic, to Silence Traditional Values

The threats against Capitol Resource Institute continue -- and now they come with a new legal twist.

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- After CRI exposed multisexual intolerance in its Louder than Silence video, it received an email from a multisexual advocate claiming that his email was "copyrighted" and could not be used to expose his intolerance.

"We are fully within our rights to quote from emails sent to us," said Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute. "In legal terms, this is called fair use."

"This is an attempt to intimidate and isolate CRI and use the legal system to silence opposition." said England. "We will not be intimidated or bullied by frivolous legal tactics and will continue to quote from the hate-filled mail we receive."

That mail carries a clear message: Advocates for homosexual behavior want to prevent the presentation of traditional values-but people with traditional values are not ready to surrender their free speech.

"The mainstream media's failure to report on threats to CRI shows a blatant double standard," observed England. "Apparently, the media sees targeting of people with traditional values as less important. How can they ignore the fact that people with traditional values are being attacked-and our organization is bearing the brunt of this assault?"

Meanwhile, the reaction to CRI's Louder than Silence video continues, and the video is receiving an average of more than 1,600 views each day.

The video utilized email sent to CRI including one that said, "I would welcome the day that world no longer has use for hateful, backward and ignorant people like you." It came with a casket photo.

Several responses to the video compared CRI with the KKK.

One person wrote: "Our actions DO speak louder than our silence. We are no longer tolerant of bigotry for the sake of being tolerant. Instead, we name it and shame it. Karen England is a stupid bigot. There, I said it. Come and get me, you stupid cow."

The attacks were personal. "Why such strong feelings, is your husband in the closet? My wish for you is that your children grow up to hate you," someone wrote.

"People in the multisexual movement tell us that even giving voice to traditional values is intolerably hateful. It's ironic. They claim to fight oppression, while they clearly dislike free speech for us," England said.
