Burnt Orange Report

Stick Thin Support

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Thanks to Chris Elam over in Tom DeLay's district, we have this wonderful report on the "God inspired" yard sign design that has an image and message that should appeal to voters with a second grade mentality.

The following was written by Michael Franks, State Republican Executive Committeeman for SD18 in Wharton, TX. His full remarks are in the extended entry. Apparently God doesn't just speak to the crazy ones; he also speaks to their elected Party officials. (Oh God, if you need to speak to me, I'm listed in the UT Directory.)

If we got MORE of our Church's to get on board and KNOW about this sign effort we could blanket the State, create the awareness that there IS a vote on this issue, energize the “Church” to action, and everyone would know to vote FOR Prop 2!!!! NOTHING creates awareness more than folks seeing signs in yards in their neighborhoods. ONE key Church in each major city in Texas could have their members take the signs home with them and we could cover every city in Texas!!!

Some wanted me to drop the stick figure design and just go with a sign that said “Save Texas Marriage, Vote For Prop 2”. Isn't it funny how God had another plan KNOWING the other side would try and use the same language of “Save Texas Marriage” trying to trick people into voting NO. I had the vision of the sign months ago put into my thoughts and the design concept was always the same after many thoughts an input from others trying to change it. (God had a plan)

And to think, your support for undermining marriage in the state of Texas only costs you $2.50. Oddly enough, the website he directs people to in order to buy these signs is http://www.vote4marriage.com/, which forwards to the National GOP site which proclaims "GOPUSA is proud to be working with Texas activist Michael Franks on this non-partisan, non-denominational effort to distribute yard signs and to help raise awareness of the upcoming vote on the Texas Marriage Amendment."

Wonder if they are bothering to report those expenditures?

Isn't it great that God put the “idea” in my head a few months ago about the concept of a State wide yard sign campaign for this marriage amendment, much less He put the very DESIGN into my mind.

Now we are seeing the confusion from the other side trying to trick folks into thinking voting NO on prop 2 means it will protect marriage. The gay and radical left lobby have just proven they will stoop to anything.

This State wide grass roots yard sign effort makes it CLEAR what a YES vote is for. 1 Man + 1 Woman = Marriage, the stick figures of a man and woman holding hands shows the “visual”, and Vote FOR Prop 2 tells folks how to vote. God had a plan for these signs.

We are moving THOUSANDS of these State wide for the Republican county chairman, activist, and Church's that KNOW about it. Some Church's have orderd hundreds, and some a few thousand to get to their people.

If you can help in this sign effort please do and get back with me!!!! We are printing EVERY day and shipping statewide. $2.50 a sign with wire H stake. Info is on the website below.
