This Friday Night – Movie Premiere
Next Monday Night – Governor’s Debate Watch Party

Make it a Family Movie Night this Friday!

Set in the peak of the 1960s Civil Rights movement, Paul’s Promise is the inspiring true story of Paul Holderfield, former racist firefighter-turned-pastor who started one of the first integrated churches in the American South. It’s one man’s journey to hope and healing during a troubled time in our Nation’s history that resulted in one man’s decision to serve God and stand up to injustice – a story that continues to make a huge impact on the community to this day.

Meet in the public park at the flag polls next to MOSH and in front of Friendship Fountain. There is a public parking lot across from MOSH. Come to pray, sing, and march for the safety of our children. Homemade signs are welcome (no inappropriate or foul language). The purpose of this event is to pray for our city, the safety of our children, and for our elected officials. We are praying for and publicly calling on the city to stop the inappropriate use of city related or taxpayer funded facilities and children’s attractions such as libraries and museums from inappropriate and predatory sexual exploitation and recruitment of children.  

The Museum of Science and History (MOSH) is scheduled to host a Gay Pride event complete with performances by drag queens and lectures called Trans 101, Bisexual 101, and even Coming Out Monologues for children of all ages. See below shocking photos of “BeBe Deluxe” one of the main Drag Queen presenters. 

Anna Bohach who led the “500 Mom Strong” March against the drag queen story hour in Spokane Washington said, “This is misogyny; drag queens are very offensive to women. They are grotesque hypersexualized caricatures of women. They mock women and debase our womanhood and femininity. A drag queen is no different than a racist donning black face. ”

Continue to contact the Mayor’s office, City Council & MOSH to stop these events.

OPERATION PANHANDLE VOTES

We need 50-100 men and women to be volunteers or hired to drive

over the next 7 days to the Hurricane devastated

regions of North Florida and participate in

“Operation Panhandle Votes”

There are thousands of families, retired veterans, single moms, seniors, and young couples whose lives and properties have been devastated as result of Hurricane Michael.  Many of them are only eating one meal a day at a church or shelter feeding facility, sifting through the rubble of their destroyed home and or just living in hotels.  We want to go to them directly and offer a sandwich, a drink, a prayer and a ride to the polls.

And we need you to join us in this unprecedented project of the Florida Family Policy Council.  Over the next 7 days, we are going to conduct a Herculean ground voter turnout operation.

THE FACTS:

1)     We need 50-100 modestly paid individuals or volunteers willing to be trained and equipped and to live and work in North Florida during the six days from Thursday, November 1, through Tuesday, November 6.

2)     Food, modest lodging, transportation, and fuel reimbursement will be provided from Tallahassee, Florida to the area of work in the hurricane hit regions.

3)     Days will be long, and the work will be between 9-10 hours a day.

4)     You will be working with a larger team of FFPC supporters but will be working on your own, during the day (unless you bring your spouse or a helper).

5)     The election is going to be very close and every Floridian needs the opportunity to vote and should not be hindered because of the personal physical losses of the hurricane.

6)     For more information please complete the online application form here and we will get back with you ASAP for a phone interview. https://floridafamilyaction.org/operation-panhandle-votes/

Public Interest Law Firm Releases Legal Memo Documenting Jax HRO Cannot Become Law Before February 28

—

PRESS ADVISORY

Jacksonville Women to Rally at City Hall on Wednesday Continuing to Urge Mayor Lenny Curry to Veto HRO which Allows Men to Use Women’s Bathrooms

(Jacksonville, FL) Liberty Counsel, a national public interest constitutional law firm with offices in Florida, released a three-page legal memorandum today documenting the fact that Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry can still legally veto the Human Rights Ordinance (HRO) 2017-15. The HRO, passed by the City Council last week, can still be vetoed by Mayor Curry because it is not final law until after the next City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 28, 2017.

The research and memo was prepared by attorney Roger Gannam, Assistant Vice President of Legal Affairs and long-time Jacksonville resident, in light of the misinformation being distributed to the media by the mayor’s office.  The Office of General Counsel has erroneously claimed that the HRO is final law because it passed with a super majority and the mayor is unable to veto it. The legal memo clearly demonstrates this is incorrect after a review of the City Charter provisions.

The summary states:

“The City Charter does not allow the mayor to give an ordinance immediate effect without his signature.

Mayor Curry’s announcement that he will allow the HRO to become law without his signature does not give the HRO immediate effect.

Mayor Curry still has the power to veto the HRO at or before the February 28th City Council meeting.”

The full legal memorandum can be read here.

Women Rally Wednesday Urging Mayor Lenny Curry to Veto HRO

Because Mayor Curry still has the legal option of vetoing the HRO, hundreds of Jacksonville women are gathering this Wednesday, February 22, 2017, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm for a rally and press conference outside on the sidewalks surrounding City Hall and in Hemming Plaza. 

At 12:30, various women are scheduled to make public statements to the media urging the Mayor to veto the HRO because the law would force them and their daughters to shower, dress and use bathrooms with men.   

Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. recently released a list of 21 bathroom abuse incidents around the country as a direct result of policies like the ones contained in the Jacksonville HRO which give biological men a new right to use women’s showers, locker rooms, and bathrooms. That list can be found here.
