nGood news: Because of yournefforts, we stopped the reparative therapy ban and the ERA push! GOODnWORK.
n
n
n
nBad News:
n
n
n
nThe state legislature is about tonrepeal the “No Promo Homo” (NPH) law in thenstate education code. WHY?!
n
n
n
nEquality Arizona (the LGBT HatenGroup) with the blessing of the corrupt AZ State Superintendent hasnlaunched a federal lawsuit against the NPH law.
n
n
n
nThe cowardly attorney general,nAG Mark Brnovich has announced that he will NOT defend the law.
n
n
n
nCathi Herrod, the head of AZ Policy,ngave her “blessing” to having the entire NPH repealed. This isnterrible, a complete capitulation. It’s WRONG!
n
n
n
nAZ House Rep. Thomas Rayn”T. J.” Shope Jr. introduced an amendment yesterday (April 10, 2019)nto repeal parts of the NPH law so that the federal lawsuit would go away.
n
n
n
nThis is bad policy. That’s wrong. Thenpro-family movement should not cave in any way to the LGBT bullies.
n
n
n
nSadly, Shope’s Amendment to SBn1346 passed 55-5 in the AZ House of Representatives. NOT GOOD!
n
n
n
nThe Amendment just arrived in thenState Senate.
n
n
n
nNow for some good news.
n
n
n
nThe State Senators are already reallynupset about this whole process. WE CAN STOP THIS SHAM AMENDMENT!
n
n
n
nHere’s what you need to do.
n
n
n
n1. [For Arizona Residents] Contact YOUR State Senator (Dem ornGOP, it does not matter). Tell him to vote NO on the Shope Amendment repealingnNo Promo Homo in SB 1346.
n
n
n
n2. Contact Arizona State SenatenLeadership and tell them to scuttle the amendment, too.

n
nHere are the talking points:
n
n1. Don’t enable the Attorney Generalnto avoid doing his job. Where will his non-enforcement lead to?
n
n2. Homosexuality and Transgenderismnshould NOT be promoted in our schools. These behaviors are indeed deviant,ndangerous, and destructive. This legislation was passed into law three decadesnago for good reason, and it should not be repeal.
n
n3. Sex-Ed must teach children healthynlifestyles and behaviors. If the schools refuse to do so, then sex-ed should benremoved entirely from the public school curriculum.
n
n4. Censure/compel the AG to defendnthe NPH, or strip his salary and use the money to defend the lawsuit withnprivate counsel.
n
n
n
nAlso Contact Governor Doug Ducey andntell him to reject the Shope Amendment, as well:
