Send health care hypocrites the form to repeal their own insurance →

Fill out this form on Credo to send your rep a form to repeal his/her own health insurance.

Who would have the audacity to vote for repealing affordable health care for 32 million Americans while gladly accepting generous, federally subsidized insurance for themselves? 237 congressional health care hypocrites!

Call out this hypocrisy by sending your Representative who voted for repeal the actual form to cancel his/her own federal insurance - we’ll send a fax for you right now!
(If your Rep. voted against repeal, or has opted out of federal benefits, we’ll send your message to Republican leadership.)

Christian right leader and Focus on the Family co-founder George Rekers takes vacation with "rent boy" →

intense hatred and homophobia…it’s been proven more and more lately that’s the sign of a closet case.

On April 13, the “rent boy” (whom we’ll call Lucien) arrived at Miami International Airport on Iberian Airlines Flight 6123, after a ten-day, fully subsidized trip to Europe. He was soon followed out of customs by an old man with an atavistic mustache and a desperate blond comb-over, pushing an overburdened baggage cart.

That man was George Alan Rekers, of North Miami — the callboy’s client and, as it happens, one of America’s most prominent anti-gay activists. Rekers, a Baptist minister who is a leading scholar for the Christian right, left the terminal with his gay escort, looking a bit discomfited when a picture of the two was snapped with a hot-pink digital camera.

Reached by New Times before a trip to Bermuda, Rekers said he learned Lucien was a prostitute only midway through their vacation. “I had surgery,” Rekers said, “and I can’t lift luggage. That’s why I hired him.” (Though medical problems didn’t stop him from pushing the tottering baggage cart through MIA.)

Yet Rekers wouldn’t deny he met his slender, blond escort at Rentboy.com — which features homepage images of men in bondage and grainy videos of crotch-rubbing twinks — and Lucien confirmed it.
