Tell Gov. Bobby Jindal: Don't partner with anti-gay, anti-Semitic American Family Association

The Issue

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has partnered with the vehemently anti-gay and anti-Semitic American Family Association (AFA) for an August rally in Texas called "The Response." Gov. Perry has invited all U.S. governors, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, to attend this event. Let's let Gov. Jindal know that he shouldn't support the AFA's extreme brand of hatred.

Officials with the AFA have blamed LGBT people for the Holocaust; have called LGBT people "Nazis" and "terrorists;" and have said that gays and lesbians "are in the clasp of Satan." 

Other leaders with the AFA, including those involved in "The Response," have previously criticized Jewish people for "controlling Hollywood," and one columnist for the AFA even suggested that Jewish people are more prone to becoming criminals. 

Moreover, leaders with the AFA have recently suggested that Native Americans are "cursed by God" to suffer from alcoholism and poverty, have said that people shoudn't practice yoga because it comes from the "evil" religions of Hinduism and Buddhism, and have compared gay adoption to the September 11 attacks.

Are these the type of beliefs that Gov. Jindal really wants to throw his support behind? 

Let's urge Gov. Jindal to publicly say he won't support the extreme, hate-filled agenda of the AFA, and that he won't attend "The Response" rally.
