| The answer is, yes. Partially. Maybe.
Just to brush up on the facts here, the National Organization for against Marriage (NOM) is a key organization in the anti-equality movement, playing a key role as a front group for Mormon donations. Of course, you can check out their NOM Summer Tour on the Courage Campaign's NOM Tour Tracker. See, they are travelling all over the nation, spreading their message that equality sucks or something like that.
Now, this is where Carly Fiorina enters into the story. NOM teamed up with two other Right-y organizations to found the "Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles". Here's the press release:
The Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, an organization of conservative Hispanics, today announced the details of a $1 million campaign in support of California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina at a press conference in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 27. ... The campaign is being coordinated by our Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, in collaboration with the Susan B. Anthony List and the National Organization for Marriage.
Poor Susan B. Anthony...having her name dragged through the mud like this. It just ain't right.
Nonetheless, if there was any facade of moderation with Carly Fiorina, this is where it should stop. Sure, this is an IE. But these folks know exactly what they are buying. They simply don't use their money on people that aren't "one of them." That's just not the way it works.
Of course, it would be nice if there were, you know, actual Latino organizations involved in this effort. But there's a reason for that. She's become a reactionary nativist on immigration policy, and she is just all wrong for California. |
