LETTER TO COMMUNITY: NOM spending big bucks to support Carly Fiorina's Senate campaign

Editor’s note: This is an open letter to the community from the Courage Campaign.

Did you hear what NOM is up to now? With Carly Fiorina's Senate campaign in trouble, the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage is teaming up with other right-wing extremist groups on a massive ad buy supporting her.

You heard that right. As the Courage Campaign's NOMTourTracker.com continues to track NOM on their "One Man, One Woman" tour across America, NOM is wasting no time promoting Carly Fiorina right here in California.

NOM has joined with other extremist fringe groups such as the Susan B. Anthony List to spend $1 million in Spanish-language ads promoting Fiorina. They call their campaign "Tus Valores" -- or "Your Values."

What are their values? NOM's values rely on lies and fear to advocate discrimination and second-class citizenship for millions of loving American families. The Susan B. Anthony List's values rely on the government telling women what we can and cannot do with our own bodies.

Together, these right-wing extremists are about to saturate the airwaves with TV ads on behalf of Carly Fiorina, helping her buy a U.S. Senate seat. That's why we need your help to show that Fiorina's fringe values are not California's values.

Carly Fiorina's right-wing record is about as bad as it gets, especially in California:
• Fiorina supports SB 1070 -- Arizona's bigoted, anti-immigrant law.
• Fiorina opposes marriage equality.
• Fiorina opposes a woman's right to control her own body.
• Fiorina opposes extending unemployment benefits.
Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina because they share these beliefs. Fiorina's right-wing friends -- NOM, the Susan B. Anthony List, and other fringe groups -- think they can convince California voters that these values are our values. We know they're not.

But if we remain silent, these well-funded extremists will be able to mislead the public about Fiorina's positions on some of the most important issues we face. Remember how they helped George W. Bush campaign as a "Compassionate Conservative" in 2000?

Our NOM Tour Tracker has rattled the anti-gay forces and thrown them off their game. With your help, we can do the same to NOM and their right-wing extremist friends here in California -- and hold Carly Fiorina accountable for what they say in her name.

Thanks for standing up for California's progressive values -- and getting the word out about Fiorina and her right-wing friends.
