Focus on the Family lays off 30, moves 15 more to new jobs

Oh my goodness! Flogging the gay boogeyman isn't filling the coffers these days. Time for a happy dance...MSNBC:

Focus on the Family announced Monday that it is laying off 30 employees and reassigning 15 others. It also announced that founder James Dobson had been cleared of accusations that he jeopardized the group's nonprofit status by endorsing Republican candidates. Most of the layoffs are in the organization's Constituent Response Services department that answers mail and telephone requests.

A drop in projected revenue played a part in the layoffs, and the growth of e-mail and Internet-based communications is behind the reassignments, said Gary Schneeberger, vice president of communications.

It's only 3% of the workforce, but Daddy D has been announcing on his radio show that donations are off. May the trend continue. How about this spin?

2. Some days are worth getting up for...
:D

I do believe the tide is turning in our favor. It may not look that way at the moment, but things are happening. It almost smells like 1992 all over again. It's time to take it back. It's time to defeat these monsters once and for all.
