The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is weighing in on state marriage-protection amendment fights around the country. The nation's oldest political party has reportedly developed a five-point plan to fight ballot initiatives. The plan's existence was leaked by The Washington Blade, a pro-homosexual newspaper, that quoted a DNC spokesman last Friday saying there is a "five-point-plan."
Specifically, the Blade reported that Democrats would:
- Label marriage amendments as "divisive ploys by Republicans" undertaken "to deflect voter attention from other important issues."
- Train party operatives in all 50 states on how to campaign against marriage-protection ballot measures.
- Develop strategy and talking points.
- Work with campaign organizations fighting ballot measures.
- Empower and organize homosexual communities nationwide, through the auspices of DNC's gay-outreach efforts.
In addition, the publication reported the DNC also contributed money - to the tune of $10,000 - to opponents of a proposed initiative in Illinois...
"FDR would be turning over in his grave right now, if he knew what today's Democratic Party was engaged in, when it comes to marriage," said Peter LaBarbera, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute, and a key backer of the Protect Marriage Illinois movement. "Marriage is not a Democratic issue or a Republican one. It's an American issue," he said. "To see a political party kowtow to homosexual activists like this makes it a really a sad day."
