      CATON OF TAMPA AFA CHALLENGES MIAMI ELECTION

   David Caton of Tampa and ally Rolf Stores of Dade's American Family 
Association are extreme right politically active evangelical fundamentalist 
that readily stigmatize qualified political candidates solely because of 
their sexual orientation, not their credible qualifications nor 
demonstrated ability in public and private service to the community.

    Caton who runs his political "religious right" machine out of Tampa 
recently suggested that South Miami Mayor, Tom Cunningham a gay man, would 
be consumed by his personal interests and not the at-large interest of the 
community. He based his conclusions on the fact that Cunningham ran as an 
openly gay politician and yet some in the AFA claim Cunningham really didn't
tell the "voters enough about his sexual orientation."

    Here again 57 percent of the fair minded intelligent South Miami voters 
were right and the American Family Association's politically active 
fundamentalists were wrong in fallaciously patronizing the demonic 
image mongering. 

    Log Cabin Republicans are satisfied that the community voted on the 
individual's performance, professional and accountable record, not the distorted gossip of those bearing "false witness" founded on an exaggerated agenda that is proving less than cre
dible day by day.
