(Washington, D.C.) A radio and newspaper ad campaign targeting conservative Republicans is using some of the nation's most outspoken conservatives to condemn the proposed amendment to the Constitution banning same-sex marriage.
The ads quote George Will, former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson and former Georgia GOP Rep. Bob Barr, among others. Barr was the author of the federal Defense of Marriage law that already bans gay marriage. Will is a well-known columnist.
The $350,000 advertising campaign is jointly sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign and Citizen Outreach and will run in 12 cities across the country during conservative talk shows, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Dr. Laura as well as in local papers.
"Think it's conservative to amend the Constitution to ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples? Plenty of conservatives across American don't," the ads say.

But I am glad to see that these conservatives agree with what has been said here on DU, and that is that the constitution should not be used to discriminate against any person, no matter who they sleep with, colour of their skin, weight, hair colour, anything.
