Lois Annich: Saying No to Issue #1
The fact that [Issue 1] is hateful and homphobic is enough of a reason to defeat it. Denying civil rights to anyone -- gays and lesbians, the poor, people of color, women, or anyone whom our culture has deemed marginal and expendable -- is unacceptable. Words attributed to a pastor in Nazi Germany in 1945 keep playing in my head. I've heard them more times than I can count, but I am hearing them today in a new and fresh way. They are a mantra to me as I renew my commitment to the cause of justice. "First they came for the Communists, and I didn�t speak up, because I wasn�t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn�t speak up, because I wasn�t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn�t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me." - Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945
