Lawyers, Leaders, Activists Warn Voters:
Conservative 'Elites' Sweeping Romney's Betrayals on Marriage, Abortion, Parents' Rights and Constitution Under the Rug.

January 1, 2008
A growing list of conservative leaders are circulating a strong public warning about “the conservative establishment’s aggressive cover-up of the pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption policies” of Mitt Romney while governor of Massachusetts. The letter accuses Romney’s stable of prominent “conservative” leaders, lawyers and pundits of gross malpractice, ruthless ambition and dishonesty toward voters.

It calls on principled conservatives to firmly condemn the rent-a-conservative feeding frenzy on Mitt Romney’s money and the cover-up of his actions as governor — most of which he did while pretending he was forced either by judges or non-existent laws.  Their letter details numerous stunning aspects of Romney’s record that are known to few Americans. These include:

• boosting funding for pro-homosexuality indoctrination of schoolchildren, and refusing to order his education officials to enforce parents’ legal right to protect their own children from unwanted indoctrination about homosexuality
• falsely claiming Massachusetts law required Catholic adoption and foster care agency to give children to homosexual couples
• personally issuing over 180 special same-sex "marriage" certificates purely at his own discretion, and claiming a law forced him -- although Massachusetts law still forbids homosexual marriage licences.
• lying about the state constitution by pretending Massachusetts judges have legal authority to create “gay marriage” and using that deception to force officials to issue marriage licenses illegally modified without the legislature’s approval and perform the ceremonies, thus fulfilling a secret 2002 campaign promise to homosexual groups
• claiming that a law somehow “forced’ him to sign a new law subsidizing abortions at $50 each with Planned Parenthood established as the fox guarding the henhouse; and
• other actions in to fulfill campaign promises Romney made to gay groups and the pro-abortion lobby.

“The entire record of Mitt Romney’s political career is that of a man whose Mormon background has no more influenced his zigzagging statements, positions and policies than Ted Kennedy’s or Hillary Clinton’s religion influences theirs,” said John Haskins, of the Parents' Rights Coalition, who like the other signers from Massachusetts, regrets having voted for Romney four years ago. “Romney’s traveling circus is just political special effects, issue after issue. He looks good, but he’s a walking mannequin. There’s absolutely no core in this man,” added Haskins, who has spent the last three years communicating with law professors, lawyers and judges and documenting the malpractice of              CONTINUED BELOW

the (mal)practice

Self-styled "conservative" lawyer Jay Sekulow (left), has aggressively covered up how Romney trashed the clear and firm separation of powers in the Massachusetts Constitution and illegally imposed sodomy-based "marriage."  Romney pays Sekulow's son Jordan, a student, as a "campaign consultant." Radio lawyer Hugh Hewitt's (right) committment to "conservatism" and his knowledge of basic constitutional law suddenly evaporated when he got money to write a glowing book about Romney and overlook how the ultra-liberal RINO Republican pretended judges had the legal authority to force him to impose sodomy-based "marriage" and to violate his oath to defend the Massachusetts Constitution (which restricts marriage policy and law to the Legislature).  Associates of Hewitt have told the Underground they believe Romney laundered a payoff through Hewitt's publisher as an "advance" and that Hewitt also had expectations that a President Romney would have a cushy White House job for him.

supposedly “conservative” legal experts covering up how Romney misrepresented the state constitution to claim a court opinion had imposed “same-sex marriage.”

“Behind the empty gestures and deceptive rhetoric, Romney was not pro-life or a defender of marriage by any stretch of the imagination. He was a disaster,” said John O’Gorman, a member of the board of directors of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, the state-wide group Romney has been deceptively claiming awarded him a pro-life leadership award. ” The award Romney arranged for himself with the local Pioneer Valley Chapter was the Mullins Award for Political Leadership, not a pro-life award and not approved by MCFL’s state board of directors. We’re blowing the whistle to warn voters who are being lied to by the crowd that makes big money off the pro-life cause. Real moral conservatives must alert the voters to the ongoing deception by cash-driven, pseudo-conservative elites who’ve allied themselves with a lying politician,” added O’Gorman.
 
 ”We who have been in the trenches since 1973 know Mitt Romney has not switched to a pro-life stance, as he claims. He has merely switched to a ’states’ rights’ pro-abortion position - attaching a ‘pro-life’ label to it,” said Ray Neary of ProLife Massachusetts. “Just overturning Roe v Wade would not legally prevent a single unborn child from being destroyed - but only change the locale,” added  Neary, who is also a past President of Massachusetts Citizens For Life (MCFL), 
  
Three other senior persons at MCFL agreed the pro-life award Romney has been boasting about is very dubious and does not represent any decision taken by the group’s state-wide leadership. MCFL had considered Romney a hard-core pro-abortion politician who had no interest in meeting with them. To get the award, Romney paid $15,000 and went around MCFL’s state headquarters to deal with a willing local politician who arranged the award through a local chapter.
 
“MCFL was in financial difficulty when Romney’s check came in and has been reluctant to contradict him publicly,” Haskins said. “There are some very fine people associated with MCFL, but to let Romney hustle voters with this conveniently cooked-up pro-life award is a tragic mistake. It allows lawyers and consultants like Jay Sekulow, Jim Bopp and Mark DeMoss, who        CONTINUED BELOW

A BETRAYAL COVERED UP BY THE CONSERVATIVE 'ELITES': Signing Over Parents' Fundamental Legal Rights To the World's Most Aggressive Homosexual Groups

LEFT: David Parker stands handcuffed in a courtroom after being arrested for refusing to leave his kindergarten son's public school until the principal agreed to obey the parents' rights law. State law requires that schools honor the parents' decision that their children not be subjected to pro-homosexuality indoctrination.  RIGHT: Governor Romney increased taxpayer funding given to militant homosexual groups to use schools to indoctrinate children and refused through his entire four-year term to order the militantly pro-homosexuality state education bureacracy to obey the law. Anticipating his run for the White House, Romney grandstanded about the issue, pretending to back parents' rights. A federal judge has used Romney's illegal orders imposing homosexual marriage to rule that Massachusetts schools have a duty and a right to ignore parents wishes and indoctrinate all children to accept homosexuality. 

Not one of the "social conservative," "pro-family" or "constitutionalist celebrity lawyers -- Sekulow, James Bopp or the Alliance Defense Fund -- who raise money publicizing judicial tyranny and abuses of religious freedom and parents' rights has come to the Parkers' aid -- though the case will set precedent affecting the entire country and the Parkers are up against an amry of militant and heavilly funded homosexual lawyers, leftist  teachers' unions and the ACLU. In fact, Sekulow's law firm told the Parkers "That's what you get for living in Massachusetts."   As has been the pattern for about two decades, major "pro-family" law firms and activist groups use the Parkers' story in their publicity and marketing, leading donors to believe they are in the fight with the Parkers.

have gotten rich over the years wheeling and dealing with the Republican elites, to call the honest pro-life heroes liars and to mislead voters. We have no choice but to speak up. If Mitt Romney outruns his record in Massachusetts and buys his way into the White House it will be partly because people who know the facts did not expose this pro-life award as not much more than a dime-store rip-off.”
 
William Cotter, president of another Massachusetts pro-life group, Operation Rescue-Boston, agreed: “It’s just not possible to honestly call Romney’s record ‘pro-life — even after the just-in-time staged conversion. Mitt Romney is not pro-life. On balance, his policies were pro-abortion.”

“The state constitution is brutally clear that the judges had no power to legalize same-sex ‘marriage’ or to order the governor or the legislature to. To hide the fact that he is personally responsible for it, Romney’s been buying up big-name conservatives like cattle at an auction,” said “Atty. Robert Paine,” the pen name of a prominent attorney who wrote the unrefuted and authoritative proof that Romney lied about the state constitution and misrepresented the Goodridge court opinion as having “legalized” homosexual marriage. “Lots of the lawyers and law professors covering up for Romney or who are silent have a vested interest or have close colleagues who do,” added Paine, whose legal arguments (“The Governor’s New Clothes; How Mitt Romney Brought Same-Sex Marriage To America”) have been affirmed by numerous law professors, attorneys and retired judges. “There’s no way to describe this other than malpractice. Romney and his lawyers are lying about judges and laws forcing his  actions on homosexual marriage, gay adoption and $50 abortions,” Paine said.           CONTINUED BELOW

Countless Massachusetts citizens and law professors and constitutional lawyers around the country lobbied Romney for months to defend the oldest functioning constitution in the world as he had sworn solemnly in God's name to do.  Grandstanding magnificently to convince conservatives around the country that he was a defender of marriage and opponent of judicial tyranny, Romney loudly decried the outlaw judges' opinion as an "arrogant" and unconstitutional abuse of power and without basis in law. But he mysteriously refused to support a drive to remove them by the very means the Founding Fathers had provided in the Constitution.

The Underground has learned from eyewitnesses to private discussions in the governor's office that Romney's own legal advisors privately told him to ignore the legally void opinion.  The court had admitted one year before that it had no power over either the legislature or the governor.  Perhaps, most telling of all, the opinion was a non-binding "declaratory judgment" intended to bluff the legislature into using its exclusive constitutional power over marriage law.  The court never even hinted that the governor could or should take the law into his own hands if the legislature declined to please the judges by legalizing sodomy-based "marriage."  In fact the court has repeatedly said that the governor must continue under all circumstances to executive the statutes as the legislature intended them and that changes to marriage law could only come from the legislature. The Massachusetts Constitution is the most explicit in all of American law in denying judges the ability to make, change or redefine law -- and especially marriage law. But Romney had made secret promises while running for governor in 2002.

For some bizarre reason the mere fact that Romney’s never been divorced and goes to a temple regularly is supposed to negate the fact that he’s extremely liberal,” said Linda Harvey, President of Mission America, an author, columnist and national expert on the rapid expansion of the pro-homosexuality curriculum in schools. “Gullible conservative voters eat that clean image stuff up,” she added. “That’s why the media and the establishment thinks he can part the Red Sea. He’s the perfect Republican liberal who can seduce conservatives and then leave them heartbroken as he did in Massachusetts. He used his Republican and Mormon identity to push through radical policies on gay marriage, abortion and pro-homosexual school programs that Ted Kennedy always dreamed about.”
 
“A clean-cut family man who after six decades in Mormonism was still strongly pro-abortion and pro-homosexual unions, pushed gay adoption, actively funded pro-homosexuality indoctrination in schools over parents’ objections and was far sloppier than any Democrat with constitutions… Now there’s a politician the establishment can trust,” said Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Republicans For Family Values website and president of Americans for Truth.
 
“The Mitt Romney that governed Massachusetts was a man totally without the core principles that Mormons espouse,” said Gregg Jackson, a talk radio host in Boston and author of  Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies. “This man is throwing tens of millions of his own dollars into projecting a conservative, pro-family, pro-traditional marriage, pro-life image since he decided to run for president. He wasn’t even a real  economic conservative, if you scratch             CONTINUED BELOW

With tensions building in early 2004, Romney grandstanded for conservatives around the nation who would vote in the Republican presidential primary in 2008. Casting himself as a heroic defender of marriage and constitutionalism, he stunned the militant homosexual groups he had catered to in every way, in particular by making taxpayers fund pro-homosexuality indoctrination programs in public schools and refusing to enforce the parents' rights law when parents protested. As the court's transparently impotent 180-day deadline wore down there was increasing danger that the public would see past the judges', politicians' and the media's flood of Orwellian disinformation about the legal power of the judges' bluff. When Romney saw that the Legislature was unlikely to agree to change the marriage statutes as the court urged, he realized he was on the spot, having secretly promised the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans to cooperate with the judges when their ruling arrived.

He began acquiring a stable of mercenary "conservative" lawyers to spread the myth that he was somehow legally obligated to violate the constitution and the legislature's exclusive authority and give the judges what they desired. Some,who had urged Romney to simply call the courts bluff and expose them as arrogant fools, like law professors Mary Ann Glendon, Hugh Hewitt and Dwight Duncan, suddenly started lying to the public about the plain English in the Massachusetts Constitution. Many legal experts and pundits who had urged Romney to defend democracy against the judges -- who, after all -- unlike the governor -- have no powers of enforcement, suddenly went silent. The conservative establishment then followed along like sheep. 

Liberal lawyers and law professors are still watching in silent astonishment as the conservative elites cover up how Romney took advantage of their incompetence, cowardice and ruthless ambition to violate multiple articles of the most powerful and explicit democratic constitution in the world and illegally order town clerks and justices of the peace to perform homosexual marriages -- which remain illegal today! That the conservative legal establishment's malpractice was a quantum leap into a post-constitutional period is demonstrated by this stunning fact: after the Goodridge opinion was issued the homosexual plaintiffs' attorney Mary Bonauto told the media that homosexual "marriage" still could not happen unless the law-making body, the Legislature, changed the marriage statutes. That never happened.

In order to cover up their colossal bungling and the tyrannical nature of Romney's illegal orders to public officials, conservatives have had to leapfrog over liberals and far beyond the Goodridge opinion itself to become the sternest and most indignant defenders of absolute judicial power at the expense of an entire constitution. The conservative establishments' incoherent interpretations of Goodridge have reached such an Orwellian state that they fall all over themselves arguing that a governor must intuit what judges fantasize about but haven't dared actually demand -- and then he must order public officials to violate the legislature's exclusive authority in order to make the judges happy. The punishment for not making the impotent judges happy after Goodridge -- some such as Alliance Defense Fund legal nihilist David French asset -- might have been jail time for Mitt Romney. The Jefferson, Madison, Adams and Franklin would be laughing at the absurd and surreal collapse of conservatism and constitutionalism -- if the consequences weren't so frightening. And if there weren't still young soldiers dying to defend a form of government that is being surrendered at home faster while the post-constitutionalist conservative "elites" run about calling Willard Mitt Romney "the true conservative."

beneath his smooth talking points. He’s the Wizard of Oz, a fake. I’m a professional and Romney fooled me for a good while.”

“He kept on saying he was being forced to do these things, by the law, by the judges,” Haskins said. “Who bothers to do the research to find out if the law or the state constitution says what he claims? The media sure didn’t. They were beside themselves with glee. And he kept on finding supposed ‘conservatives’ to vouch for him. We’d find out months later there was money or career opportunities involved…like Jay Sekulow’s son — a student — getting paid as a consultant for Romney. Most of the conservative establishment rolled over for this con man or went silent when their friends did. The only word for it is malpractice,” Haskins added.
 
“Anyone who takes seriously the high-flying conservatives vouching for him has no clue how terribly money and power have corrupted once respected conservatives,” said Diane Gramley, president of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania.

The letter documents how the Massachusetts Constitution — and previous admissions by the court itself, including one year earlier — obliterate Romney’s, Sekulow’s and Bopp’s dishonest claim that Massachusetts judges forced Romney to bypass the Legislature and illegally order officials to perform homosexual “marriages.”

Besides veteran social conservative leaders and writers, the signers include a retired administrative judge and former Assistant Minority Leader of the Massachusetts Senate, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and other attorneys from Massachusetts. The overwhelming majority have no loyalties to any other candidate, none have cited Romney’s Mormonism as a primary concern, and all have investigated Romney’s record far more than many of those vouching for him. Almost all of those in Massachusetts voted for him four years ago.
