Restore Our Godly Heritage PAC is run and partly funded by Steven Hotze, a Texas activist known for his over-the-top anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Hotze has been a loyal backer of Moores campaign. Restore Our Godly Heritage PAC, according to its spending report on the weekends radio ads, has spent $91,000 to date supporting Moore and opposing Jones. In addition, Hotze and his wife have each personally contributed a maximum donation of $2,700 to each of the three phases of Moores campaign, a total of more than $16,000.
The Hotzes sent their donations to Moores general election campaign on November 10, the day after the Washington Post published an explosive story on allegations that Moore had sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and pursued relationships with other teenagers when he was in his 30s. The next week, Hotze helped organize and spoke at a press conference of Religious Right activists supporting Moore.
Our former colleague Brian Tashman points out on Twitter that Restore Our Godly Heritage PAC also produced an online this summer video showing images of a gay pride event while a narrator says that Moore is sick and tired of a small group of people telling the majority how to practice their faith in everyday life.

(58,666 posts)1. This is the bullshit fear they stoke...
The fear that "black folks" are going to rise up and take our country by force. It's like slavery never ended, and they are still afraid of the slave uprising. It's at the heart of all white supremacist and nationalist ideologies.
Meanwhile, they continue to advocate racists policies that allow and even encourage treating anybody with a darker shade of skin like shit. Somehow, they don't seem to care that those policies will probably trigger the violent outbreaks that they fear.
