http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/11818 Over the past week, the anti-gay organization founded by Maggie Gallagher has been on a bus tour across California stumping for the GOP's Senate Candidate, Carly Fiorina. Similar to its nationwide anti-same-sex marriage bus tour last summer, this one is also drawing tens of people!
There is one thing you can say for certain about the National Organization for Marriage; it's always up to something ... and that something invariably has to do with The Gay.
If it isn't sponsoring state-wide initiatives banning same-sex marriage, it's intervening in electoral campaigns around the country. If it isn't briefs in support of California's Proposition 8, it's filing a suit against the state of Rhode Island so it won't have to reveal the names of its donors. If it isn't bringing other anti-gay organizations - including the San Marcos, California-based Ruth Institute -- under its wing, then it's joining a coalition called the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles. If it isn't in the process of creating some very weird anti-gay television advertising spots, it's launching another cockamamie bus tour.
And sometimes it seems, given its apparent trunk full of treasure, NOM is doing all of the above at just about the same time
