Thank you Brad for this wonderful layout of the
events in Eureka Springs.
Be
Bold For God - Join Us When: Oct 31st & Nov 1st
Where: Eureka Springs Event: Diversity Weekend
I plan on joining the Jericho Riders (as well as others) in Eureka Springs, AR on the evening of Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st. I would like to invite you to join us. Eureka
Springs used to be a family destination and a Christian oasis. The city has been infiltrated by homosexual activists
and they now market to homosexuals. Eureka Springs is becoming the San Francisco of Arkansas. This event, Diversity Weekend,
which they have about 4 times per year, is where many of the gay folks come from all over and take over the town of Eureka
Springs. I have visited
this city since I was a boy. This is a beautiful town, filled with old Victorian style shops and houses. It is
where the "The Great Passion Play", the 5 story "Christ of the Ozarks" statue, the "New Holy Land Tour", the "Bible Museum", the "Museum of Earth History" and many other Christian places are located. It is sad to see the sin and evil that is trying to take over. I, for one, am going to go
this event and stand up for God. It is time for us, as Christians, to get out of our cozy comfort zones and be a man
or woman of God. We will be there to disrupt the power of the enemy in this stronghold as well as street witnessing,
open air preaching and passing out gospel tracts. Below is the list of events that are schedule for the weekend. Below that

Excerpts from "They're Coming To Your Town" DVD For four decades, it has been known as a family destination
and a Christian oasis. That began to change in November 2006, with the election of a pro-homosexual mayor and a new
slate of gay friendly city council members.
They have come out of the closet and have taken over a lot of the operations of the city.
The city council, the city clerk, and the building inspector.
The homosexuals get a special delight in the thought of taking over a place that
has been known for its Christianity.
Dani Wilson (female), mayor – campaigned to bring the city together and work with all local tourist
attractions to improve the sagging economy. But shortly after taking office, Mayor Wilson, the city council members,
and the homosexual activists that helped to elect them quickly began working on the first Domestic Partnership Registry (D.P.R.)
in the state of Arkansas.
The Domestic Partnership Registry is really about homosexuality. They denied it’s a same sex
registry, but for all people.
Gay couples began being registered the day the registry was launched.
Two of the homosexual activists who were pushing hard for the same
sex registry were some of the first to sign up for it when it launched.
Homosexual activists, an owner of a local homosexual website and
the promoter of the so called “Diversity Weekend” in Eureka Springs came up with the idea of Domestic Partnership
Registry. They looked online to see how other towns had done it and thought that with Eureka Springs being a tourist
town it would help our economy if people came here to sign up, spend the night and spend some money. They made some
sample certificates, put together a package of talking points, like what do you say when they say, “It’s against
God”, put it all in an envelope and gave it to the mayor in March of 2007.
The general public and the Christian community was blindsided when
the mayor suggested the D.P.R. at the March 26, 2007 city council meeting. It quickly became obvious she was uninterested
in hearing from those who feared the homosexual agenda could kill the economy of the tourist town she was elected to lead.
They had already decided what they were going to do when they came to the meeting. They only allowed 2 minutes of talking
per person for a statement.
In the meeting on May 14, 2007, there was little mention of the overwhelming opposition to the proposal
by the Christian citizens of Eureka Springs, most who were not allowed to speak at this meeting. The Domestic Partnership
Registry became law on June 22, 2007. After it was passed, the mayor went out to celebrate with all the gays who were
outside.
The Christian opposition didn’t
know they were facing professional homosexual activists who were experienced in multiple statewide campaigns. They had
no idea the Human Rights Campaign and the ACLU were helping the registry supporters. Even the mayor’s involvement
in the scheme came as a surprise.
Once homosexual activists get into power, they are not too tolerant towards other people. They have
recast traditional moral beliefs about homosexuality into bigotry, and against bigotry you can launch the full apparatus of
civil rights laws and you can make life miserable for anyone who espouses traditional values.
They branded the outspoken Christians as fundamentalists, as Christian
hate bigots, and any negativity against the D.P.R. was considered as hate.
After it was passed, a pastor began a petition drive in an attempt to bring the
registry to a public vote. Officials used technicalities to reject two separate petitions, both of which had sufficient
signatures to force a vote.
The homosexual activists were working against these petitions for the vote.
Using the passage of the D.P.R., they began to promote Eureka Springs
as the gay sex tourism destination.
City Council member, Joyce Zeller, who is also serving as director of the city’s advertising and
promotion, angered many residents when she announced during a press conference that officials intended to recast the image
of the town. “Bringing you together in a distinctly different way” is the ad slogan, “…What
we’re selling is peace, relaxation, history and sex.” July 2007
It’s hurting the economy of the city. The mayor and city council are
marketing Eureka Springs as a gay friendly destination, which is hurting the town’s tourism. Tourism is down 23%
this year. Other destinations in Arkansas are up 17%.
They have made many comments that they would like for the Christian tourists,
if they don’t like the homosexuals, to just leave.
Brad's Comments: So, as you can see, the mayor, city council, and other positions within city government, if not actually gay, they
are homosexual activists who are pushing their agenda in a very forceful way, completely against any cares of the citizens
or Christians in the community. Not only that, they have or are in the process of recasting the image of the city to
make it “Bringing you together in a distinctly different way” and “What we’re selling is peace, relaxation,
history and sex”. They are actively marketing Eureka Springs as “the gay sex tourism destination”.
