Marriage Amendment Scandal
You are all aware of the Abramoff-Reed-Norquist Indian Casino Scandal in which Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, and Jack Abramoff conspired to con an Indian Tribe out of a large amount of money when the conspirators simultaneously supported Indians who supported AND opposed the casino.

They're trying it again, this time though, it is the Texas Marriage Amendment. 'Some' say Norquist is opposing the Marriage while Don Wildmon of the AFA and Tony Perkins are supporting the Amendment. The problem is with all of this Fear-Mongering, it is difficult to see the truth.

1. Norquist is NOT opposing the Amendment. He is only speaking at a Log Cabin Republicans Event
2. Grover Norquist, Tony Perkins, and Don Wildmon are all members of the secretive Council for National Policy

I can smell the scam, can you?

1. Thank you!
I thought I saw someone say they would donate to Norquist's organization

:puke:

because they are opposing the Texas Marriage Amendment (which would ban gay marriage.)

One acceptable stance does not make someone like Norquist and his ilk acceptable!! Stop looking at a single tree and pay attention to the forest, folks!
