Citizens of Broward County seriously concerned about the excesses of the right wing in our community are joining together after learning of the events planned by the Coral ridge Ministries of D. James Kennedy and former Vice-President Dan quayle in the accompanying flyer to declare that bringing fundamentalist extremists from all over the country to Ft. Lauderdale to-- Reclaim America for Christ-- is a threat to democracy and diversity and must have a response. Therefore, Gays United to Attack Repression and discrimination (GUARD); the Sunshine Cathedral - MCC Ft. Lauderdale; The Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Veterans of America Gold Coast chapter; the Log Cabin Club (Broward Republicans); Pride South Florida; Sons and Daughters of America, Inc.; Scoop Magazine; Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida; and Outbooks have decided to co-sponsor a -We Are America!- demonstration at the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday, January 22, 1994 at 5:00 PM. We intend that our peaceful --We Are America!-- demonstration will be one of the largest gatherings of human rights advocates ever seen in Broward County to focus on our message of the need for separation of church and state, an end to the violence and bigotry of the religious right, defeat the American Family Association attempt to legislate their version of the bible, and an end to legal and governmentally sanctioned discrimination against Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals in this country especially in the United States Armed Forces. We strongly urge all communities to get motivated and to participate in the declaration that we have all had enough of the right wing religious fanatic attempt to establish an intolerant theocracy in America! Stop the violence! --- Stop the hate! WE ARE AMERICA! DEMONSTRATION SATURDAY JANUARY 22, 1994 5:00 PM -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
