Wow. David Crowe—of Restore America—is even more frustrated than I thought. Usually, he sends out one email a week, rallying the troops to sign those petitions that would put the new domestic partnership and non-discrimination laws on the ballot for a public vote.

But hey, it’s September 11! A perfect chance for Crowe to send out another email, this time to draw the parallels between an elections complaint filed against his group—and the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. It’s like the same thing!

I’ll let him explain (and all bolds are his):

Defaming To Destroy: Oregon’s Own 9-11 September 11, 2007

Oregon faces a less obvious September Day of Infamy, an attack from within our borders by those who seek to change Oregonians view of marriage and morality, no matter what we say or how we VOTE, and whether we like it or not.

Intolerance Knows No Moral or Ethical Boundaries Margaret Olney is an attorney with Smith, Diamond & Olney in downtown Portland. She was appointed by Governor Kulongoski to his LAW COMMISSION GOVERNMENT ETHICS WORK GROUP in November, 2005, after threatening petition signature gatherers with felony charges, imprisonment and fines amounting to $100,000. The reason? She was working to erase all opposition to the re-election of the most ‘gay’ friendly candidate to the Presidency.

Why do I mention this? Because Olney’s latest campaign is to stop or void the signature gathering efforts of Concerned Oregonians using the same tactics. Olney recently filed a complaint with the Elections Division of the Secretary of State’s office that is filled with deceitful and erroneous allegations, all for the purpose of destroying our efforts to place same sex marriage and special rights for homosexuals legislation on the November 2008 General Election.

Defaming Letter: Stratagem of Deception Complicit in this stratagem to defame, delude and destroy is Pastor Dan Bryant, Senior pastor of First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, in Eugene, Oregon. Bryant organized Twin Rivers Interfaith Ministries (TRIM), an ecumenical group that meets regularly and openly supports the ‘gay’ agenda.

Bryant served on the Governor’s panel in 2006 to prepare a report whose purpose was to provide a rationale for the introduction of SB 2 granting special rights, privileges and protections for homosexuals and lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and the gender confused in the 2007 Oregon legislature. This bill is the target of one of our two petitions.

Like Olney, Bryant is part of the cabal that begins with the Governor, extends through Basic Rights Oregon, the law firm of Smith, Diamond and Olney, and into ‘ecumenical’ church leadership in Oregon. This group now seeks to divide and conquer through deceit and deception, much like Sanballat and Tobias in the time of Nehemiah sought to stop the rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem.

To this end, Bryant recently mailed a letter to hundreds of Evangelical Christian pastors in Oregon for the purpose of ensuring we do not obtain the required signatures to place petitions 303 and 304 on the November 2008 ballot. The letter put forth lies and deceptions based on Olney’s assertions and allegations to defame and discredit Concerned Oregonians, Defense of Marriage Again, and Restore America.

Arise! Sign the Petitions!
Unless Oregonians, arise and SIGN THESE TWO PETITIONS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 24TH, AS ONE MAN, we will collapse from within morally, and our children will be victimized by our apathy, indifference, and inaction. We will not have loved our neighbor as we should.
