Today’s Family Focus: “Obama shifts with political winds,” says family group

For Immediate Release                   
May 9, 2012
Contact: Martin Cothran

Phone: (859) 329-1919

LEXINGTON, KY—"It's a funny thing about politicians whose views 'evolve' on controversial issues," said Martin Cothran, in response to the announcement today by President Barack Obama that he approves of same-sex marriage. “They always seem to evolve as the political winds and financial gusts are blowing."

Obama's remarks come the same day that most Americans found out that North Carolina citizens voted in favor of the traditional view of marriage. "Although it's becoming increasingly common for politicians to kowtow to liberal special interest groups, when this issue is put before people, they still vote to keep the traditional definition of marriage," said Cothran, spokesman for The Family Foundation.

"There are people whose moral convictions shift with the polls and there are people whose moral convictions are tied to something more permanent. The President has made it clear today which camp he's in."

Testimonials

"The Family Foundation is doing vital work for the Commonwealth of Kentucky and its families. Defending the integrity of the traditional family, I look to them to lead the way in educating citizens on the pressing issues facing Kentucky families. I heartily endorse their activities and commend their work! " — Pastor Jerry Stephenson. 

I am thankful for the Family Foundation and the way that they diligently work to protect Kentucky families. Kent Ostrander and all those who are part of the Family Foundation team labor tirelessly in often hostile environments at the state capitol to hold accountable those who are elected to represent Kentucky families. They are constantly monitoring what is happening in Frankfort in order to keep Kentucky’s citizens who are concerned about families abreast of important issues. Our gratitude goes beyond simply saying thank you; at Bethel Baptist Church we feel so strongly about the work that the Family Foundation performs that we support them monthly in our budget. — Pastor Kenny Davis Jr. -- Bethel Baptist Church of Berea, Kentucky

“I cannot imagine where Kentucky would be and what families in the Commonwealth would face were it not for the Family Foundation. They ask for little but accomplish so much. I can only attribute such vast impact to the hand of God on them. The Family Foundation has fought unflinchingly and effectively for Kentucky’s families and has led the effort to maintain a social order and a moral fiber at the heart of public policy. Always involved in the most strategic and important battles and issues affecting families, churches, and individual lives in the state, the Family Foundation fights for us all. We can make no greater investment in our future and in ourselves than to lend our support to an organization that God has commissioned as a guardian and a watchman against the systematic unraveling of the freedoms and liberties that our founders envisioned.” — Dr. Hershael York, Associate Dean, School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“The family was the first institution that God established and is still the basic building block of an orderly society.  In this era when the family unit is being relentlessly undermined, I’m thankful that Kent Ostrander and the Family Foundation keeps standing strong for traditional family values in the public arena. Their task is not easy, but is so needed!  The Family Foundation merits our prayers, encouragement and financial support.” — Bob Russell, Retired Pastor – Southeast Christian Church, Louisville

“Kentucky is fortunate to have The Family Foundation working to protect and preserve the sacred institution of the family.  Our future rests upon their success.” — Todd P’Pool, Hopkins County Attorney

"As a pastor, the Family Foundation was a key partner to me in the ongoing effort to keep our flock informed of vital public policy issues that could detrimentally impact their lives and the freedom of our church to minister in Kentucky. The information the Family Foundation was always relevant and easy to comprehend. Now, as a denominational servant of over 2,400 churches in the Commonwealth, I count on the Family Foundation as a co-laborer seeking to strengthen the ministry of Kentucky Baptists. As a father, I simply say to Kent Ostrander and the Family Foundation, 'Thank you for what you are doing to make Kentucky a better place for my kids. God bless you.'" — Paul Chitwood, Ph.D.--Executive Director, Kentucky Baptist Convention
