Weinberg to Anti-Gay Group: Bring it on

by: Juan Melli

Wed Oct 31, 2007 at 05:01:09 PM EDT



Common Sense America Betrayed BillboardCommon Sense America, an anti-gay organization based in Princeton, has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars targeting Linda Greenstein in the 14th and Jeff Van Drew in 1st legislative districts. The group is run by Brian Brown, who also chairs the National Organization for Marriage, Marriage PAC NJ, and until recently the Connecticut wing of James Dobson's extremist Focus on the Family organization. Just weeks ago he ran a billboard comparing a pro-equality Massachusetts legislator to Judas and Benedict Arnold.

Today, Senator Loretta Weinberg - a leader in New Jersey in the fight for equality for all - asked why Mr Brown was ignoring the 37th district incumbents:

"Why does Common Sense America only spend money in the 14th District and why does it only victimize Linda Greenstein? If Common Sense America were true to its word and its true to its agenda, it would be targeting me and my outspoken record of gay tolerance.  But they won't and the reason is because they get their marching orders from the Republican Party." ...

"The fact that Common Sense America's activities fold nicely into the overall Republican objective and the fact that the group is not working to unseat me or other gay rights proponents shows that this is a Republican-conceived strategy - nothing more and nothing less."
