The post actually began with the following:
-
Check out FRC Action's Webcast: "Mission Compromised: How the military is being used to advance a radical agenda." Through proposals to have abortion at military medical hospitals and clinics and to allow open homosexuality in the Armed Forces, the Obama Administration is placing our military at risk and using service personnel to advance a radical social agenda. Our Webcast, featuring distinguished military and political leaders, explains how.

Family Research Council's latest publication, "The Defense of Marriage Act: What It Does and Why We Must Keep It," has just been issued. This important booklet, authored by FRC Senior Fellow Chris Gacek, Ph.D., J.D., explains why DOMA is essential to the well-being of families and the very institution of marriage itself. It is available as a PDF at http://www.frc.org/doma, where you can also order hard copies. Marriage is under attack -- and our new publication will help you take action to protect and defend it.
Additionally, FRC's Senior Fellow for Family Empowerment, former Ohio Secretary of State and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Commission Ken Blackwell, and FRC's Director of the Center for Religious Liberty Ken Klukowski, J.D., appear in today's Wall Street Journal discussing the unconstitutionality of the Obama health care plan and how the federal courts might view the lawsuits brought against the new medical care mandate.
