It’s never a good idea to assume that Brian Brown or NOM are telling the truth, but Joe has this fundraising letter from them posted at his blog, and if what the NOMsters are saying is indeed true, then they’re a little short on cash right now:
Dear Marriage Supporter,
Please help us overcome a looming shortfall!
Increasingly virulent and frequent attacks from the same-sex marriage lobby have depleted our emergency funds, and we need your help!
As 2011 draws to a close, everyone at the National Organization for Marriage is excited about the election year ahead, which we believe will be full of huge victories for traditional marriage.
But unless we raise additional funds quickly, we will be faced with hard decisions about where to begin scaling back our efforts for next year. NOM does not have the resources to accomplish everything we need to do…and with the many new and critical marriage battles upcoming in 2012, this is the exact wrong time for us to have to scale back.
Friend, will you make one emergency year-end gift of $25, $50, $100 or even $1,000 if you can afford it, to NOM right now to help us eliminate our budget shortfall before the end of the year?
Please, please, please? Brian’s loafers are quaking at the prospect of having to get a real job that doesn’t pay him simply for being a bigot.
Anyway, if you read the entire letter from NOM, it will fill you with holiday cheer.
So did this fund-raising letter have a mailing list of two?
This is all hype to squeeze some more dollars at year’s end to make the balance sheet look good. Don’t believe these bigots don’t have plenty of cash. There are bunches of bigoted rich blue army catholics and mormon business people as well who love to bankroll this kind s**t.
‘…..which we believe will be full of huge victories for traditional marriage.’ Yeah—right—when Unicorns fly.
Maybe the hate mongers should donate back their six figure salaries.
Just sayin’.
Every one of their begging letters claims their bank account is drained thanks to the dirty homosexuals. Meanwhile they always manage to cut their executives hefty checks and plunge loads of money into anti-gay initiatives. Go figure.
Huh. I’m on their mailing list (I sent them a polite e-mail once pointing out errors on their site so that the “oversight” could be corrected, and apparently anybody who uses the “Contact Us” button gets on the list…), but I haven’t gotten that one yet.
The last thing I got was “Help keep the USPS from mailing Christmas away!” No, seriously, that’s the title.
