From Bill Donohue:
On Sunday, November 9, a band of about 30 gays stormed a church in Lansing, Michigan. Some were well dressed and were stationed inside Mount Hope Church; others were outside dressed in pink and black. The group of self-described homosexual anarchists, Bash Back!, claims the evangelical church is guilty of “transphobia and homophobia.”
The protesters outside the church were beating on buckets, shouting “Jesus was a homo” on a megaphone and carrying an upside-down pink cross. Fire alarms went off inside the church, protesters stormed the pulpit and a huge rainbow-colored flag was unfurled with the inscription, “IT’S OKAY TO BE GAY! BASH BACK!” The church was vandalized, obscenities were shouted and worshippers were confronted. There were no arrests.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
“The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn’t know about it.
“This is urban fascism come to America’s heartland. It must be quickly stopped before it gets out of control. We are contacting Mike Cox, the Attorney General of Michigan, calling for an investigation.”

Here was my email to Mr. Cox:
Dear Mr. Cox,
The below incidence is against the constitutional freedom to worship.
My family experienced similar assaults upon our peace by kooks with megaphones who stormed inside and out, threatened our children, our peace, our prayer, our Holy Sacrifice. While my children were altar serving an Archbishop, he instructed the police not to shoot back if they pulled out weapons. The verbal and threatening violence outside and in waxed and waned but more than once, my children were instructed to hit the floor, find a pew and hide under it if things escalated. The police stood by and did nothing - as did the attorney general and all the politicians in Boston.
Can you help me to understand why you are not enforcing the law?

Send Mr. Cox a letter, circulate and encourage others to do the same...
