ANOTHER FAMILY GROUP THAT WANTS TO SUPPRESS ANOTHER GROUP'S RIGHTS




Stupid fucks focus on the family, a Colorado Springs-based organization, wants to heavily fund anti-gay state groups. They want this group to go nationwide and be called Ignite, An Enduring Cultural Transformation. They want this organization to spread to/infect more than a dozen states. Their main goal is to support legislation banning LGBT law advancements.

No one is confessing where the funds are coming from, but the financial deets are located at the Colorado Independent.


The campaign, which largely targets states where Republicans won control of legislatures or governorships, has garnered the support of Republican political superstars such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.), Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Jon Kyl (Ariz.), and Rep. Trent Franks (Ariz.). The groups intend to pass anti-gay marriage amendments, curtail abortion rights and, in at least one case, ban “transgender bathrooms.”

Family policy councils — a creation of Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family in the 1980s — have launched the Ignite plan in 15 states. Each family policy council has a three-prong plan to achieve their legislative goals over the next two years: lobbying for legislation, mobilizing pastors and social conservatives and supporting candidates that have backed their initiatives. Each group has used a stock brochure containing nearly identical wording to explain their plan and to solicit funds. In many cases, an Ignite plan was launched with an anonymous matching-grant donor.
