The Latest Christofascist Extortion Is Unbelievably OUTRAGEOUS!!

"Either You Give Us Money
Or We'll Take You And Your Company Down!!"

This just in from NoOnprop8.com:

Yesterday, donors and supporters of Equality California began receiving threatening letters for their support of the statewide organizations efforts to protect LGBT youth and seniors from the "Yes on 8" campaign leadership.

These letters threatened to "expose" the donors listed on Equality California's website if they don't donate to the "Yes on 8" campaign and refrain from supporting LGBT equality in the future.

The letter, sent on their campaign letterhead, was signed by four members of the group's executive committee and suggests our donors withdraw their support for their own good. It demands an equivalent donation or else:

"Were you to elect not to donate comparably, it would be a clear indication that you are in opposition to traditional marriage. You would leave us no other reasonable assumption. The names of any companies ... that choose not to donate ... to ProtectMarriage.com ... will be published."...We will contact you shortly to discuss your contribution."

This outrageous attempt to raise money by using threats reveals their true agenda: to permanently harm the LGBT community, our organizations, our allies and our supporters.

Remember, these people are Christians...NOT! I seriously doubt that ProtectMarriage.com will suffer any serious investigation because we know how well-connected people like James Dobson and Tony Perkins are. Justice may not be served in this case. I'm trying to picture the kind of person who would dream up this form of extortion. Alas, the only people I can think of are characters in movies: Marlon Brando as Don Corleone and Edward G. Robinson in Little Ceasar. Both characters seemingly born without ...a conscience?

God help us all.
