AN OPEN LETTER TO DICK CHENEY

AN OPEN LETTER TO DICK CHENEY

Mr. Cheney,

We need you.

We have seen that you really care for your daughter, gay or not. When asked about your support for the President's anti-gay stance, you have always clearly been uncomfortable remaining silent, and saying that you MUST support the President, without ever giving your PERSONAL endorsement to that agenda.

Now Bush has won the presidencey for the next four years. What will happen to you? What will happen to your daughter?

We got a hint of this when the Family Policy Network raged that you had allowed your daughter on the stage when accepting the nomination. Thay say that your daughter stands for everything opposed by the Bush "mandate".

By now you must think you have sold your daughter and your soul to gain the Vice Presidency. But you CAN fight back.

Violence against gays has risen dramatically since the election. Many of them are actively looking to move to another country for their personal safety. Canada has been swamped with requests for information on immigrating. We are on our way to a new round of witch hunts. Bush would never take a stand against that, but you could. You could make a difference.

You do not need to remain silent. You have power and you have influence. You can speak out and let people know that promoting another inquisition is NOT the American way. You can speak out for all those other people who have gay firends and relatives. You can let them know in a way that no one else could how this can destroy families, and hurt people you love.

PLEASE take a stand. Make a difference. Speak up. Stop the upcoming holocaust. Call a press conference. Take a stand that cannot be ignored. Be the standard bearer AGAINST violence. You can do it.
