A coalition of the nation's most prominent conservative social issue groups (www.lifeandmarriagecoalition.com) today announced that they are coordinating efforts in Ohio, Iowa and North Carolina to talk about the importance of preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and supporting the sanctity of human life. The groups hope to influence voters in key swing states that Barack Obama carried in 2008.
"This is a historic coming together of premiere social conservative groups to coordinate efforts in three swing states most likely to determine the outcome of this fall's presidential election," saidTony Perkins, president of FRC Action, the legislative action arm of the Family Research Council."Many supporters of life and marriage do not realize that their votes could determine the outcome of the election, which in turn could determine the future of marriage and life in this country. We're working together to ensure they understand that President Obama is anti-marriage and anti-life."
The Life and Marriage Coalition includes FRC Action, Susan B. Anthony List, National Organization for Marriage, American Principles in Action, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee and Common Sense Issues. Combined efforts will include independent expenditures for radio advertisements, billboards, phone and bus tour events designed to educate and mobilize socially conservative voters in the three targeted states.
Yes, and I am hoping that the four states with the gay marriage referendums do not go the way the gays want in Nov. as well.
What have the polls been saying in these states?
Well, the last I saw, the gays were counting on “a tidal wave of electoral victories”. Keep in mind, though, in 2009 when the state of Maine repealed gay marriage, the polls leading in had the gays believing they would win. So the polls, I am hoping, may be misleading.
