Rhonda Storms is Right

Fellow Patriots:

Unfortunately, my "real" job has kept me really busy lately.

However, with Independence Day coming soon, I had to get this off my chest.

As you know, Hillsborough County has been in the news lately because of the overwhelming vote in favor of withholding funds from homosexual pride displays in the public libraries and all other county buildings. Now, Rhonda Storms and our community are being attacked by a vocal minority. I have not agreed with Commissioner Storms very often, but in this case, she is on the right side. What follows is the letter I wrote to Commissioner Storms expressing my support of her actions in this matter. If you have a few minutes, I hope you will take a few minutes and express your support of the Commission's actions.

God Bless you; God Bless the BSA; God Bless our Troop; God Bless America.

Remember the true meaning of Independence Day.

Commissioner Storms:
I thank you for your service to Hillsborough County. I appreciate the fact that you are willing to take stands on issues that are controversial. I believe that you are trying to do the right thing and are taking your oath of office very seriously. There have been many occasions in the past when I have disagreed with your positions. On the occasion of your move to remove county tax money support of homosexual activities is the absolute right position. I am glad that someone, including your colleagues who voted with you, in this community has the fortitude to stand up for traditional values. I hope that you and your colleagues will ignore the noisy minority. I know, because of my long-time residence in this community, that most in this community do not want their tax dollars to be spent on these kinds of "promotions." I am a parent who has tried very hard to raise my sons with a Christian ethic and beliefs. They are very good, exceptional young men. I have limited their exposure to these influences which I consider destructive to the family and our community. I do not appreciate being forced to accept a choice of lifestyle and sexuality that I, and many others, consider to be immoral and wrong. I do not appreciate having my children exposed to that lifestyle. Homosexuals are not entitled to any more rights to flaunt their chosen sexuality than anyone else in this community. I do not want my tax dollars supporting the promotion of such behavior. The traditional family and the values it represents is the bedrock of a stable community, and I appreciate your defense of it. If I sound intolerant about this, I am very proud of my intolerance on this issue. I don't knowingly allow my children to be exposed to stippers, prostitutes, pedophiles, any criminals, or the lifestyle those choices represent. That makes me intolerant of them, and I am proud of that, also. Those who choose to live the homosexual lifestyle, can do whatever they want behind closed doors, but I do appreciate it that they demand that I must support the promotion of their sexuality with my tax dollars. I do not appreciate the fact that they demand that I consider their lifestyle to be normal and acceptable. They are the very small minority. Under our system, the majority is supposed to win. I hope that you will not bow to their threatened economic pressure. In fact, I believe that the promotion of Hillsborough County as a traditional family friendly community would bring a greater economic return than bowing to the threatened boycott by a very small minority.
Keep up the good work.
