You are taking my comments out of context. I have far less resources than AFa has and I knew about these affiliate programs 7 years ago. It also took me about 7 seconds to discover the name of the Affiliate program network, as well as the other companies with affiliate programs this gay group has signed up with.
I'm a stay-at-home mom, and I can find all this out, yet an organization such as AFA with the financial resources to put out such press releases does not have the resources to find out what I did in less than 10 minutes????
I'm actually finding all of this amusing now. The more defensive folks are getting about the limited resources of the AFA the more I'm comparing them to the charlatans of the anti-smoker crusade.
BTW, the affiliate network is Link Share, and from my reading of its enrollment guidelines, AFA would not qualify as it fails to meet certain guidlines for suitability, particularly in the categories of disrimination and disparaging of other participants. There may even be other disqualifiers, but I caught those on a quick perusal.
As I have stated on these threads, AFA would do more to promote family values by encouraging those who support them to be less materialistic and more family oriented.
That was certainly not my intent. Here is what you said:
It is an affiliate program that is run through a Network..why not attack the Network that sets the rules about what organizations/websites/companies can participate? Thousands upon thousands of companies participate in these type programs and thy have been around for years.....why is AFA just finding out about it?When I quoted the last 8 words preceeded by ellipsis, which by definition are a continuation of thought, it seemed to be an accurate representation of what you said. How did I mispresent you?

You are assuming the AFA doesn't know about all this. Of course, I'm assuming you haven't talked to the AFA to get their official statement on the matter.

Now that's a very interesting statement. You are concentrating on the insignificant, the non-issue in all this.

The AFA isn't in the politically correct business. They're in the business of alerting social conservatives and Christains about companies such as Walmart that promote organizations similar to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender. An organization that supports lifestyles social conservatives and Christians should oppose at every level.

Yes, you've made that statement more than once but in pointing that out, yet again, you are yet again demonstrating you've never checked out the AFA website. The AFA offers support in the following areas:
Here are some more cites supported by the AFA:
One Million Dads
One Million Moms
And there are more. The AFA is pro-family in many ways, with their alert of the actions by Walmart yet another method of being more family oriented.
