Date: Wed, 24 AUG 94 13:55:07 MDT From: JAVIERSMITH@vax.micron.com Well, the Idaho Citizen's Alliance is at it again. Kelly Walton has turned the organization over to Bill Proctor. It seems Kelly needs to spend more time with his construction business (were the majority of their money comes from) and is getting a little burned out. We all think that naming Bill Proctor as his replacement was a BAAD move! Bill is a reformed drug dealer/user. He was arrested in 1980 for dealing cocaine and has served his time. He claims that he has since reformed and has been born again. The ICA claims that this demonstrates their forgiving nature by giving this man a chance to serve God and country via the ICA. They also hint that this indicates how they would treat 'reformed' homosexuals. However, ... we think that this is a HUGE mistake on their part. A year ago, they dismissed one of their best volunteers because he was getting a divorce. (Bill P. has had TWO divorces). We also know that Bill runs a painting business and has traditionally hired only handsome young men to work for him. Any new employees are first coerced into going to Bill's church and are then coerced into into moving into Bill's bachelor pad. If they don't then they are fired. I know two of the boys personally and they have confided that Bill has also used his influence as their employer to cajole them into commiting felonious sexual acts with him. Unfortunately, I can't get them to come forward so nothing can really be done. It would be their word against his. Plus, the ICA would only use it to say "see-- Bill is a 'reformed' homosexual even!" In any case, the moral double standards and about-faces of the ICA are becoming ludicrous, to say the least. They dismiss people for not being "moral" enough and then put someone like Bill Proctor at the helm. The ICA is also having trouble getting their entry into the IDAHO VOTER GUIDE. It seems their text contains various slanderous comments about John Hummel (Your Family, Friends and Neighbors Chairman), the ACLU, Diversity (our local 'family' newspaper), and others. The Idaho State Department, not wishing to be sued for defamation along with the ICA, has told the ICA to reword or omit these comments before they can print their entry. The ICA's only response has been to rearrange some paragraphs. Apparently they think that since "we-are-right-and-you-are-wrong" such vituperative comments are completely acceptable. If they don't change it, the State Department may not print their text at all! Hmmm. If that happens, the ICA will probably call for recall and dismissal of all State employees involved and replace them with people who WILL print their entry, regardless of its defamatory nature.!! (That's their plan if their Anti-Gay Initiative passes and is found unconstitutional.. simply remove the judges responsible and replace them with ones who WILL okay the initiative!) -Javier Smith **Nobody told me the buffet was free.
