Professional Hysteric Elaine “Bonkers” Donnelly To Rear Ugly Head Again at Secret Military Gay-Bashing Bash
Per Steve Ralls:
Right-Wing Activists Plan Private D.C. Briefing on Gays in the Military Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) has learned that The Center for Military Readiness, a right-wing activist group based in Michigan, has invited leaders of prominent veterans services organizations to a Washington, D.C. briefing on Thursday that the organization has tried to keep secret. The event, outlined in a letter obtained exclusively by PFLAG, is described as “a private, off-the-record briefing” to strategize about how to battle efforts to repeal the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on lesbian, gay and bisexual troops.
“Given your organization’s long-standing commitment to military readiness and the high standards and sound policy that promotes it, I hope I can count on you in joining CMR to defend the law regarding homosexual conduct in the military,” CMR’s Elaine Donnelly writes in the letter, which was sent by fax to VSO leaders in Washington. “We need to talk about what can be done, and why, face to face.”
“Due to this issue’s urgency,” she continues, “this invitation is not transferrable to casual observers, interns or other non-executive support staff. This PowerPoint briefing, which includes short video excerpts of the July 23 House Armed Services Committee hearing on gays in the military, will cover everything you need to know…”
The briefing, featuring CMR executive director Tommy Sears, will be held at the organization’s Washington conference room, at 1615 L Street, N.W., Suite 650, on October 2nd from noon until 2:30pm.
It has long been a high-priority of Donnelly and other extremists to organize veterans services organizations to counter momentum in Congress, which has shifted to pro-repeal advocates over the past few years. …
Those efforts have failed miserably. …
And if July’s hearings in Congress are any indication, Thursday afternoon should be the last, sad show that brings down the curtain on Donnelly’s already-lost crusade.
