February 2, 2010 – Today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing concerns the repeal of the misnamed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy on gays and lesbians in the military. During the Senate hearing today, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates will be grilled on Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy and will be asked what can be done to overturn it.

TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty has issued the following statement on this hearing and the efforts of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) movement to undermine our military:

January 27, 2010 – Washington, DC – Andrea Lafferty, Executive Director, released the following statement regarding President Obama’s State of the Union speech tonight:

December 24, 2009 – Washington, DC – Andrea Lafferty, TVC Executive Director released this statement today following passage by party line vote of the Obama-Reid government-run health care bill:

December 17, 2009 - Washington, DC- The Traditional Values Coalition praised Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) today for refusing to yield to intense pressure from the liberal Senate leadership and the Obama White House who wanted the Senator to ignore his principles and vote to provide massive federal funding for abortion.

“Senator Nelson really stuck to his guns,” said TVC’s Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “Now the White House, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will have to find another bill to pump millions of dollars into Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.

December 9, 2009 – Washington, DC – A letter signed by the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) and hundreds of other pro-family organizations and activists urged the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions  (HELP) Committee to reject President Obama’s nomination of the highly controversial lawyer, Chai Feldblum, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

“Ms. Feldblum has a system of identifying rights which is separate and very different from that in the Constitution,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.  “She uses terms like ’belief liberty’ and ‘sexual liberty’ and concludes generally that a ‘sexual liberty’ claim always trumps any objection or claim of those who are asserting a religious belief.

“Ask a typical American about ‘polyamory,’ and they would try to recall whether she was a sidekick of Winnie the Pooh or Pippi Longstocking.  Chai Feldblum has written extensively about polyamory – the practice of having multiple sexual partners concurrently.  She, of course, is in favor of it and wants the government to treat these “relationships” the same as one man/one woman marriage.

November 19, 2009 – Chai Feldblum, the activist lawyer who has been nominated for a post on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, (EEOC) just finished her testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor And Pensions Committee.

Traditional Values Coalition has been warning that Feldblum’s confirmation to the EEOC will be a steppingstone to the U.S Supreme Court where she will have a lifetime appointment.

Proving our point, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) introduced Feldblum to the Committee. In his introduction of her, he laid the foundation with his description of her as having an “unsurpassed judicial temperament” --- an odd way to describe a non-judicial nominee.

I was at the hearing and listened to her deliberately lie and omit facts about her long-term support of a union of three or more individuals to Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA).
