September 22, 2004 Keyes supports conservative values Commentary
Everyone I know is very excited about having Alan Keyes as a candidate. We crave a listening ear in the U.S. Senate where, for too long, Democrats and Republicans have chosen to disregard the will of the people. I am confident Alan Keyes will support the conservative values of the majority of the people in Illinois. In the next few years, there are critical issues that will be addressed by those in power, including how the war on terror will be fought; whether the youngest members of the human race will be sacrificed in the name of medical research; whether the right to dismember and kill pre-born children will continue; and whether marriage will be defined exclusively as the sacred union of one man and one woman, as God intended. Despite the silence of Barack Obama on these issues to the mainstream media, we know of his record of 100% support of the abortion industry and 100% pledge of support to the gay rights movement. In April, he placed an ad in the Windy City Times, a gay Chicago newspaper, pledging his support for gay marriage, which now he seems to be denying when he speaks to the downstate voters. He is saying one thing in Chicago and another when he speaks to the voters in another part of our state. Does he think that the people downstate can't read? I support Alan Keyes who I believe will stand by his biblical values, even at the risk of being criticized by the liberal media.
