Foundation for a Better Life is a non-profit organization associated with the Anschutz Corporation, run by one Philip Anschutz, a sports franchise and railroad magnate, and also well known as an associate of Republican and religious causes.

"A lifelong Republican and patron of religious and conservative causes, Anschutz has given $336,000 in soft money to the Republic National Committee since 1997, according to the Federal Election Commission. He has supported groups working to promote Colorado's highly publicized Amendment 2, which would overturn laws protecting gay rights, and with groups working to stop a ballot initiative promoting marijuana legalization."

I believe Anschutz was also behind the "quotes from God" print campaign (remember those black billboards with messages from God on them in white block letters?).
