Cookie Boycott Brings Youtube Shootout On Truth About Girl Scouts

From  John Pisciotta, 
Director of Pro-Life Waco

Wow! The fourth week of Cookiecott brought a desperate Girl Scout CEO Anna Marie Chavez out on YouTube attempting to calm the media storm (traditional & social) over Girl Scouts pro-abortion and liberal leanings.

As expected, Chavez claimed total innocence--even with a preposterous claim that Girl Scouts has NEVER had relationships with Planned Parenthood.

You can watch a 6-minute rebuttal of the Chavez feeble attempt to hide and ignore the truth below. This fact-filled video was created by the moms who brought you http://www.mygirlscoutcouncil.com.


   

The overall theme of the video is that the gap between what Girl Scout leadership says it does and what it actually does is as wide as the Grand Canyon.

Particular points backed up by the facts include:
1. Girl Scout leadership uses faith in God when this serves their purposes.
2. Girl Scout Councils have collaborated with Planned Parenthood on many occasions.
3. Girls Scout does bring sexuality content into the communications and curricula for girls. The “we leave these matters to parents and families” mantra is a _ _ _. (I don’t want to use too harsh language.)

Please share this message and the YouTube link for this YouTube as widely as you can.  Please forward “me.” Get the word out on Facebook. Tweet out on twitter. Share with your Sunday School class.

The Cookiecott campaign serves the best interests of girls and families. Isn’t the truth always in our best interest? Honesty is actually part of the Girl Scout Law, which has been violated by Girl Scout leadership.

We need “truth in content labels” for Girl Scouts every bit as much as such labeling for Twinkies.

All About Cookiecott: the Girl Scout Cookie Boycott


From John Pisciotta
Director of Pro-Life Waco

Pro-lifers engaged in the battle for the Gospel of Life,

Thanks to you and so many others across the nation, the 2014 Girl Scout Cookie Boycott is spreading the word about unfortunate realities about the Girl Scouts.


Here is something I recently learned. Feminist icon Betty Friedan is presented in the Girl Scout high school curriculum as a Voice for Good. In 1963 Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, which degraded the female roles of wife and mother. In 1970, Friedan became a member of the Board of Directors of Girl Scouts USA. She served in that capacity until 1982. Friedan was very influential in bringing Girl Scouts to their left-leaning, feminist leaning, and pro-abortion leaning character they have today.
.
The media coverage continues and most of it is quite positive, giving us the opportunity to state our case. The other side is responding with spin, outright deceptions, and diversions. Girl Scout leaders are violating the Girl Scout Law, which calls girls to be honest and take responsibility in all they say and do.

You still have time to download a flyer at cookiecott.com, Of course, we will speak only to adults giving them the flier as an explanation for why we are not buying cookies. The other side is deceiving in an outrageous way by claiming pro-lifers are engaging little girls in a hostile manner. If the other side can condone the shedding of innocent blood, it’s an easy step for them to tell lies. Of course, some in the press will just repeat those lies.

You can continue to follow media coverage at http://www.prolifewaco.com/CookiecottNews.html

There are links to television, radio and the printed word. So much! Learn about the issues of cookiecott and share with your family, friends and pastors.



Here is the Cookiecott agenda for OUR side:

1. Communicate directly to Girl Scouts USA, 420 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY 10018 Phone 800-478-7248  email by going to http://www.girlscouts.org/contact/email.asp

2.Go to www.cookiecott.com and click the button for the flyer that is central to the boycott. You can print multiple copies. The flyer contains the main facts on Girl Scout associations with pro-abortion leaders, organizations, and agenda. All you have to do at a cookie sale is hand the flyer to an adult and say this explains why you're not buying. I know some of you feel like you want to support your local Girl Scout troop, which are very often wholesome in contrast to the national GSUSA. One option is to donate cash to the local troop or donate gift cards from Hobby Lobby. The local troop generally gets just 70 to 90¢ from each box of cookies sold.

3. Spread the word frequently on social media. For Twitter we are using #cookiecott

4. Write articles for on-line media, for newspaper editorials and letters about Cookiecott, and send them to newspapers online media sources and letters to the editor.

5. On-line “comments” on web articles. Do a Google search for “Girl Scout cookie boycott” Find the most recent ones.  Go to the article and it will often contain an opportunity to comment.  Write your point of view. The dark side is active. We need to be active too.

6. If you are involved in a pro-life, pro-family organization urge the organization to publicly endorse Cookiecott. Perhaps you lead an organization. The organization can send out communications to all members AND send a news release to local media about your endorsement. It was just this type of endorsement from Pro-Life Wisconsin that led to the Associated Press article and many news stories in Wisconsin.  You can do this in your state.

7. Talk to your friends, relatives, and pastors about Cookiecott. This is in large part an educational campaign. We want adults to have full knowledge of the Girl Scout USA agenda for children. Any church direct involvement with Girl Scouts should be scrutinized very closely. In my personal judgment, such associations should not continue. There are other scouting organizations to work with such as Awanas, Junior Catholic Daughters and American Heritage Girls.

8. Forward this email throughout you sphere of influence and friendship.

9. Pray that all pro-lifers involved in Cookiecott will be granted the wisdom and prudence to follow our Lord who loved the little children so passionately.
