Same-sex marriage donations pour in (Out of state funds)

[atommom]

Is it any wonder it's so hard to pass progressive legislation around here? :(

TOPEKA — Out-of-state funds are flooding into Kansas to persuade voters to support the proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, according to finance reports filed Monday.

The Knights of Columbus -- the world's largest lay Catholic organization, based in New Haven, Conn. -- donated $100,000 to support the amendment that Kansans will decide April 5 at the polls.

In addition, the nationally known conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, led by James Dobson out of Colorado Springs, Colo., has spent $23,063 to urge people to support the ban.

In total, groups supporting the amendment have raised $152,429, while groups opposing the amendment have raised $36,032, with much of that support coming from Lawrence residents.
