DNC open to funding fight against anti-gay amendments

[William769]

The chair of the Democratic National Committee said Tuesday she would “certainly consider” spending money to combat anti-gay constitutional amendments next year in Minnesota and North Carolina.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz made the remarks about spending DNC funds to defeat marriage amendments in response to a question from the Washington Blade. She took questions from reporters following an Immigration Equality event she attended in D.C.

Wasserman Schultz, also U.S. House member representing a district in Florida, said state party groups are now focusing on defeating amendments banning same-sex marriage and the national Democratic Party would consider sending resources if asked to do so.

“I know that the party in each of those states will be combatting them,” Wasserman Schultz said. “And if they ask for our assistance, like any other state party request, we’ll certainly consider it.”

4. Yup...the irritating part is they think we're so dumb we're not paying

attention to their love/hate affair with us.

2. The DNC works hard to take our money -

they just won't spend it on our issues.

3. I would “certainly consider” voting for Democratic candidates.

5. Certainly Consider?

This should be a no-brainer.


FUCK you DNC - worthless scumbags

6. I honestly doubt they will spend money in my state

since it is on primary day instead of election day. The sad part is early polling shows we have a real shot at winning this (we are plus 18 over all and plus 9 among those who feel strongly). But I think Minnesota will get our dollars.
