Ex-Miss California Carrie Prejean Solicits Support
Group asks Americans to sign their "Stand With Carrie" petition
The Carrie Prejean controversy isn't going away. In fact, it seems to be heating up now that she's been pushed from her perch as Miss California. Claiming her support for traditional marriage played a role, Prejean and supporters at the National Organization for Marriage have set up a petition page to gather signatures. Here's what the group just sent out:
Dear Reader
You've heard the news: Miss California USA pageant official Keith Lewis fired Carrie Prejean. Hollywood is doing a tribal war dance. We're appalled. We're outraged. But we are not worried about Carrie.
Keith Lewis also admitted on national television that he didn't even pick up the phone and call Carrie to tell her before he alerted the media. What kind of boss acts like that? It tells you everything you need to know about who was acting in bad faith here.
Carrie Prejean was asked a question: Do you support gay marriage? She answered honestly—like millions of others in California and across this great country: No. Of course not.
From that day forward the attacks have been unremitting.
First they attacked her, then they tried to get her to recant, then they threw mud at her, now they fired her and continue to besmear and besmirch her. Pageant officials like Keith Lewis claim they want to move on and yet they are going on national TV to attack her, her lawyer, and even her pastor!
What kind of people act like this?
Of course Carrie isn't perfect, but she is honest, courageous and strong in standing up for the truth about marriage. She's being attacked not for anything she ever did wrong but for one great thing she did right! And she's not the only one. Thousands of decent, honorable, law-abiding, good Americans are facing attacks because they, like Carrie, have the courage to speak truth to power, to stand for God's truth about marriage.
So here's my message to Carrie: Congratulations. Free at last. Free at last. Free at last to craft your own mission and message. God has a plan for you Carrie and we look forward to watching and applauding the next stage in your journey towards Christ.
And here's my message for you: Help us get the message out!
Carrie's new website, StandWithCarrie.com, was launched today. Please take a minute to visit her site, and then send a message to five of your friends.
By now, you've probably seen our TV ad highlighting the venom that has been directed at Carrie, and that generated so much attention 6 weeks ago. (Click here to watch the ad.) This ad has already been wildly successful, reaching millions with its poignant message, and yet there's more work to be done!
Same-sex marriage isn't just about two people living as they please, but about whether a large majority of Americans are going to be marginalized as bigots by a group of elites determined to force their new vision of marriage on the entire nation.
Will you help us get this message out today? With your help, we'll expand our ad buys into new markets, increase our online outreach, and together reach our goal of "two million for marriage."
But we can't do it without your help.
Please use this hyperlink to make a generous donation right now.
Thank you for standing with us. And please be thinking about two or three friends you could invite to join us as we work to save marriage.Faithfully,
Brian S. Brown

HATE?
Believe it or not, someone can disagree with another and not HATE them. All this nonsense about disagreeing with gay marriage is all part of a HATE campaign or is supported by a HATE organization is just that...nonsense. There are lots of things I disagree with and people I don't support, but it does not mean I HATE them. It seems to me that the most angry, hate-filled talk seems to be made by those who are speaking against others who simply do not agree.
homosexual agenda - attack on Carrie Prejean
This sems to be a trend at pageants.
This same question was asked at the 2009 Miss Shreveport(La.) Pageant (Aug. 2008), preliminary to Miss La.> Miss America.
The 2010 Miss Shreveport Pageant was held this past weekend. Same question to the same contestant - with similar answer as Miss Prejean.
The director of this pageant is using this platform to promote his homoseual agenda.
Carrie Prejean firing
We should all unite to have carrie prejean regain her
title and crown as Miss California. It has been open season on Carrie because she is a wholesome beautiful
white female and has no protected minority status. She
has been completely defenseless against the unfounded
and vicious attacks and slander with no one at her side
by the "vulnerable, innocent and tolerant" lynch mob,
a vocal minority who has now grown teeth and fangs.
Carrie has consistently declined to endorse or promote
their sinful and sick homosexual life style. Come on
America, lets not allow the stampeding herd, with the
pathetic Keith Lewis, Donald Trump and Shanna Moakler at
the head of the pack, trample and destroy Carrie and her
carier forever. This is not Burma, China or Iran. Carrie
has always been respectful, deferential to others, was grossly treated unfairly. Has she been a member
of a minority, no would've dared to treat her this way.
May God bless Amewrica and its people and may God
bless and protect the wonderful and beautiful Carrie Prejean.
