Citizen Petition:
"I Support the Boy Scouts' Ban"

The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation's largest all-boy organizations, are considering a National Board proposal to allow homosexual leaders to serve at all levels of the organization.

Despite a two year study and survey affirming, by "unanimous consensus," the Boy Scouts upholding restrictions against homosexual membership into the scouts, two members of the BSA national board, James Turley CEO of Ernst & Young, and Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, are pressing the organization to amend their strict anti-gay membership and leadership policies to include homosexuals at all levels.

Lifting the ban on homosexuals would insult the generations of scouts who have lived proudly by the BSA oath, "... to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."

Grassfire is urging the BSA to reject efforts to remove the national membership restriction that would allow homosexual membership and has launched a national petition giving citizens an opportunity to challenge efforts to radicalize the Boy Scouts.

NOTE: The BSA wants your opinion about their policy barring homosexuals from joining as members or scoutmasters. After signing our petition below, be sure to include your comments in our comments field. Petitions and comments will be hand-delivered to the BSA headquarters prior to the May vote. 

The Petition States:
As a concerned American, I urge the Boy Scouts of America to reject efforts to remove the national membership and leadership restrictions regarding sexual orientation. For generations, the Boy Scouts have enjoyed a storied history of building character and instilling lifelong values that help foster a conscientious, responsible and productive society.

I implore the BSA to stand firm against this aggressive effort within its ranks to force a homosexual agenda on the Scouts that would have devastating and far-reaching consequences to this proud organization.
