Human Rights Campaign: GLBT Community Brings Out the Bunker Busters Against NOM. The Fight Is Only Beginning (203 hits)
Are you tired of the National Organization for Marriage, a.k.a. NOM, putting on a mask of tolerance for the media? Are you sick of their claim that they speak for a majority of Americans – while they support extreme anti-gay zealots and keep their donors secret? Well, we are. And today, along with our friends at the Courage Campaign, we're launching a website that pulls back the curtain on NOM for everyone to see.
NOM Exposed uncovers shocking secrets so people can get the real facts as NOM throws its weight around in race after race this election cycle. We'll post up-to-the-minute dirt on NOM over the coming months and years, so bookmark the site and come back often. Check out our new site – then add your name to the "NOM Doesn't Speak for Me" petition and help spread the truth!
NOM recently released a slick new ad on behalf of Tom Emmer, the candidate for governor of Minnesota with ties to a group that condoned the execution of gays. The ad disguises NOM's anti-LGBT agenda behind a fake claim of protecting civil rights. NOM even had the gall to compare itself to Martin Luther King, Jr., flashing images of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
It's a flagrant distortion of reality – the latest in a history of deception since NOM opened for business during the Prop. 8 campaign.
NOMexposed.org is about spreading truth. We've spent months digging into NOM's funding, shady ties, ethics violations, and more. We created this site so that every time someone searches for NOM – voters, elected leaders, reporters – they'll get the real story. To hide its political activities, NOM has blatantly flouted campaign finance laws.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. We've tracked NOM's financial ties, showing how huge, secret donations have swelled its budget from $500,000 to $10 million in just three years. We've connected the dots to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and the Mormon Church.
NOM wants to claim the middle ground. But people don't know who they really are. We are not going to sit by and let them dictate the terms of the debate. We're going to expose the lies – not just today, but every day. Now we need your help to get the word out – share shocking facts on Facebook and Twitter or spread the truth by simply passing this email along. Won’t you join us?
