By John Green

Dear faithful ministry partner,

Over the years, I have done my best to warn you of imminent dangers to the sacred institution of marriage and Christian families.

I have dared to speak up, even when it made me the target of ridicule of the godless media. I have faced threats of violence from extremist special-interest groups which seek to corrupt our Godly nation.

I took on the gay rights crowd. I battled Dr. Spock’s bad child-rearing advice. I did a lot of things which I don’t have time to talk about in this letter.

But now, I am facing the largest Goliath of my ministry.

In all my years of ministry, I have never seen a threat like the one facing us now!

You see, the forces of darkness which have been working separately to ruin our country, have united to form an even more powerful form of evil. An evil which could destroy civilization itself. Just as a virus can become stronger and more resistant to treatment, evil in America has mutated into a new virulent strain.

What is this new disease?

Well, I will tell you. But first, in all honesty, I want you to know that the “treatment” will not be without cost. We need funding for new approaches to battling evil. We must vaccinate the American people against this looming epidemic. We need to get our congressmen on board. We will need lobbyists to work on our behalf in Washington D.C. People must be mobilized at both a local and national level.

We will need money, and lots of it.

That’s where you come in.

We need you to give sacrificially. We need you to give like you’ve never given before.

For too long, the Church has been focused on evangelism and missionary work. Misguided Christians have wasted precious time and resources feeding the Third World, fighting global warming and battling AIDs in other countries. All the while, we have been losing the battle at home. It’s time to focus our energy and efforts here at home. We must defend our way of life. Many of you know my stand against homosexuality.

AND, more recently, you may have heard how I have criticized evangelical leaders who have formed unholy alliances with the environmental movement to “save” the planet at the expense of our God-ordained standard of living.

What you may not know is that these two radical movements have now joined forces.

My friends, we are now facing a Gay-Green threat: Homosexual activists who also seek to limit carbon emissions and promote recycling, as well as a sustainable lifestyle!

I know it sounds like “gangrene” and that is entirely appropriate, since this is a rottenness which will eat away at the integrity of our American way of life.

Even as I write this, publishing companies are printing propaganda which will be forced upon our elementary school children; books with titles like Heather’s Two Mommies Join the Sierra Club, Daddy’s Roommate Buys a Prius, and Help! Breeders are Killing My Planet.

Is this the kind of garbage you want your children brainwashed with?

I beg of you to take a stand. As a form of protest, I encourage Christians all across the United States to set fire to their green recycling trash bins on the first day of December. This will create a vivid demonstration of our unity, and will catch the attention of the national media.

Also, and more importantly, please call us today, to contribute to this vital fight for truth. Please be sure to have your credit card ready when you call.

As our special gift to you, when you donate today, I would like to send you a free book. This book is perfect for reading aloud to your elementary and preschool-age children. It will help to counteract the deceptive lies being disseminated in our culture. This charmingly illustrated book is called I Drive a Big Car Because I Serve a Big God. And rest assured, it is NOT printed on recycled paper!

Standing with you in the battle,

James Dobson
